Combat Strategy
Overview
Otengu is an avian yokai boss with attack patterns similar to regular Tengu enemies. He has only one HP bar but uses melee attacks and wind magic. He's highly mobile and "jumpy," making him an annoying opponent.
Core Strategy
Phase 1 Strategy:
- Dodge Forward-Left - Circle behind the boss to avoid attacks
- Quick Combos - Land 1-2 melee combos from behind
- Recharge Ki - Throw shuriken between combos to maintain Ki
- Ninjutsu Burst - Back away and unleash all ninjutsu
Gear Tip
For high-level equipment, fast travel to the Eternal Rift and talk to everyone there to get the "Handyman" sub-missions. Complete these for level 62 gear.
Phase 2 - Wind Magic Storm
What Changes: Otengu enters second phase with increased wind magic attacks and more projectiles.
Counter Strategy: Stay away from him and cast magic/ninjutsu from safe distance. Wait for this phase to pass before engaging again.
Dangerous Attacks
Grapple Attack
Hard to dodge. When Otengu uses flying grapple, always sidestep dodge.
Red Glow Dash
Flies at you with red glow. Timing is critical or he will lock onto you. Sidestep dodge is recommended.
Wind Ground Slam
Sometimes flies up and casts wind magic on the ground. Dodge if you're behind him when he flies.
