Ernest Goes To Japan - Let's Play Nioh

Update 15 - The Source of Evil

Edward Kelley has unleashed a spell turning the massive amounts of dead bodies at Sekigahara into Yokai. At the very center has spawned a giant skeleton known as a Gasha-dokuro. It threatens the whole of Japan with its might, as such William has no other choice but to fight it. Both Tenkai and Hattori Hanzo assist him in the battle. Hanzo far off fires cannons at the monster distracting it while Tenkai gives William a crystal that allows him to turn the large spirit stones around the battlefield from negative energy to positive. After altering the stones he leaPs down to fight the Gasha-dokuro. It is a terrible battle as William narrowly avoids death against the great Yokai. Tenkai assists him by pinning the Gasha-dokuro at times allowing WIlliam to attack it. When the fight ends Tenkai casts a spell banishing it, in all of the commotion Ishida Mitsunari and Edward Kelley have escaped. William chases after them though he deals with the retreating Shimazu first.

Boss Information:


The Gasha-dokuro is more of a puzzle than a straight up fight. You need to damage its limbs to allow Tenkai to pin the Gasha-dokuro. When you see purple/pink beams hitting the boss run up the slopes and get ready to hit its head. Manage your stamina well and if you have your Living Weapon ready pop it early right before the skeleton’s head slams onto the raised ground. Each time you break a limb you’ll have an opportunity to do this. In between the boss will slam its tail, feet, and hands wherever you happen to be. In general dodge towards the boss to escape being crushed. After being pinned the Gasha-dokuro will clap its hands at the top of the slope, make sure to drop down before it does this or you’ll be one-shot. This boss is weak to all elemental types and resists poison and paralysis.
