I really hate a certain enemy that's a wind aspected Yokai. And another enemy that's a Water aspected Yokai.

There's a fight where you have to fight both at once, and its possibly the easiest dual boss in the game, because these dual bosses are not loving around.

Edit: That said, The AXEMAN is a great fight, except when I did it. Because I went through the game with an Axe, because Nioh's axe moveset basically turns you into Astaroth from Soul Caliber, with less range. This includes grabs.

The low stance combo ender, if you pull it off right, just tosses enemies, including off bridges and cliffs if you get it right. You can see where I'm going with this.

Now that one has appeared, I can safely say: gently caress Tengu.

A perfectly normal reaction to Tengu. You can learn their patterns but the game will still put them in places that makes all that learning less than useful.

Like next to another annoying enemy.

Do you want to imagine hell? Imagine fighting a Flying Bolt and a Wind Tengu at the same time. Better yet, imagine fighting a Wind Tengu and a Nue at the same time.

Oh wait, no, you don't have to imagine that, because these two poor fucks are going to have to do far worse than both of those things.

Ironically, my key to beating the AXE MAN on my first run through the game was through using Axe in Low Stance. Axe in Low Stance turns you into ASTAROTH from Soul Calibur, and you fight AXE MAN on a bridge.

God I love how Oda Nobunaga just shows up, has a boss fight with William, is about to kill him via cutscene... and then just stops like his shift ended and it's time to clock out, vaguely complements William, tells Kelly he's an idiot, and returns to being dead while looking incredibly bored and vaguely irritated the entire time. It's amazing :allears:

Kelly is actually REALLY BAD at reading people's motives. Its foreshadowed with the Edo Castle mission and cutscene where Kelly is caught flatfooted by Ieyasu going "Fine kill her i don't care" and Kelly's reaction is "WHAT".

We're getting up to the point in the game where it beat the poo poo out of me in three seconds flat and didn't even have the mercy to let me be cool.

Man, those fights with the weapon masters - and crack Nue - were just beautiful. Well done man, well done.

There's a worse Nue later on.
