·Multi-source verified (120/120)

Location: Ashina Outskirts - Outskirts Wall - Gate Path
Deathblows: 2
Weaknesses: Mikiri Counter
Strategy: Start with a stealth Deathblow from the left. For the second phase, focus on deflecting his sword swings. He has a perilous thrust attack that is easily Mikiri Countered for massive Posture damage. If he uses a sweep, jump over it. Stay aggressive to prevent his Posture from recovering. Use the Loaded Axe if you have it to break his guard. Keep your distance when he's winding up for a heavy attack, then close in to deflect. Don't let him dictate the pace. Reward: Prayer Bead.
