BOSS ENCOUNTER: OTANI YOSHITSUGU

Otani Yoshitsugu is a mid-boss with a limited but deadly attack pool. He hovers/flies throughout the fight.

  • Attack Combos: Otani flies at you and swings his swords, chaining up to three attacks. He can also start with a kick.
  • Self-Stab: Otani will stab himself during the fight, which is a key mechanic to observe.
Tips
  • Some Dojo Missions require specific weapon proficiency levels to attempt.
  • Pay attention to the battlefield partitions; they often hide paths or items.
  • The locked gate in the early part of Sekigahara might be a shortcut accessible later.
  • Otani Yoshitsugu, while a mid-boss, has dangerous attacks; learn his combo timings.
  • SPIRIT OBTAINED: "Possessed by Suzaku via spirit division."
  • Unlock: Dojo Missions "Zen and Sword are One," "The Grimmest Blades," "Steel Across Steel," "The Invincible," "A Clash of Sickles."
  • Unlock: Sub-Mission "The Silent Crow."
  • Defeat Otani Yoshitsugu.
