The Final Battle
Dual Boss Encounter
Combat Strategy
Overview
This is the true final boss of Nioh 3 - a dual boss fight with two distinct phases. In Phase 1, you face both Okita Soji and Tokugawa Yoshinobu simultaneously, making it extremely challenging. In Phase 2, only Tokugawa remains, making the fight much more manageable.
Phase 1 Strategy
Most Difficult Phase: Both bosses attack simultaneously. Focus on survival and chip damage.
Core Combat Pattern:
- Focus on Defense - Keep distance and dodge constantly
- Target Okita First - He's more aggressive, eliminating him helps
- Summon Spam - Use all summon seals to distract bosses
- Ninjutsu from Safety - Throw shuriken and fire ninjutsu from range
Phase 1 Warning
This phase is rated 8/10 difficulty due to fighting two bosses at once. Don't be discouraged if you die multiple times. Focus on surviving until Phase 2.
Phase 2 Strategy
Much Easier: Only Tokugawa Yoshinobu remains. Fight becomes much more manageable.
Core Combat Pattern:
- Behind Attack - Circle behind Tokugawa for critical damage
