If YT vids and guides can’t help, I’m out. I’ll give this a few more hours go but this game is now on the clock for me. When I’m near a wall and he approaches, suddenly I’m seeing nothing but closeups of him or the wall and I literally have no vantage point of the fight at all. The camera is a huge problem at times in this fight too. The Grave assistance is next to useless here, btw, lasting 10-20 seconds, no matter how powerful. Luckily, I backed up my save last night before starting the fight, so will just erase system saves and copy them back over. I’ve used nearly 300 Shrine points on Elixirs and Ochoko Cups. No other boss in the game so far has been this ridiculous with virtually no Ki damage inflicted after huge barrages. Best I’ve done is get him to around 50% health. Seems you need around 15,000 damage in one sequence before he falls down, by my estimation.
SHIBATA KATSUIE NIOH 2 PLUS
Using both Sloth and Weakness on him, plus Water Talisman and Power Pill for me. Of course, no staggering, no falling, nothing.

I got 6 consecutive hits on him at around 1500+ damage each. Got a Level 118, 5-Grave helper and we were whaling on him for several seconds. First of all, this boss is so ridiculously OP, it’s not even funny.
SHIBATA KATSUIE NIOH 2 HOW TO
OP: This is where the game starts not to be fun anymore and more of an irritant, IMO. Whats a ridiculously hard boss fight between friends This is how to take down both Shibata Katsuie and the half-Yokai Hachisuka Koroku at the same time. Usually, if I want to experience that much frustration, I’ll just go out on a date. Thanks to all for their suggestions and even to the ”git gud” snobs for motivating me. Surprisingly, my Soul Core attacks were the only thing to deplete his Ki and cause a collapse (none of those Soul Cores listed enhanced Ki damage in their effects). When the Axe “spoke to me”, I just went to town and didn’t back off. My Benevolent Grave helper shockingly survived the entire fight (first time in the game that’s happened for me in a boss fight). Consider an armor that provides increased protection against fire. In addition, his attacks cause various bursts of fire, so he is mostly immune to burn dmg. He fights mainly with two axes and a charge, which he performs very often to ram you. Tokichiro starts off with two swords instead of one and can use fire and lightning attacks. He's the second boss in the mission Imminent Destruction. I switched to a Yokai Axe (Sentient) and it became self aware at the exact right time, right after a Shift (or during it maybe?) and I had poured all my water buffs + into every piece of equipment on me. Make sure you’re level 103 because this is going to be a fight.

UPDATE: My fingers are still trembling as I type this but after several hours, finally got that SOB.
