Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Bosses - Gyoubu Oniwa

Many players have already begun playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which can rightly be called one of the most difficult games of recent years. From Software do not change with time passing and so they offer to overcome a lot of bosses who can not be killed easily. Gyoubu Oniwa is one of the first serious opponents to fall into the path of the One-Armed Wolf. We will talk about which tactic is better to choose for a quick victory in a guide below. 

The warrior meets our hero with a loud battle cry, immediately reporting on his legendary status and demonstrating his mighty battle horse. The field of the fight is a plain, filled with the bodies of the fallen soldiers — it allows the boss to manoeuvre quite swiftly and to avoid direct attacks. 

In fact, he's not so difficult to deal with. Just get the idea that you can block many of Oniwa's main tricks with the help of a sword, and when the boss is turning, it becomes possible to use the grappling hook to quickly reduce the distance with the target and make a series of strikes.

We also recommend purchasing fireworks in advance, as loud noises can frighten the horse, leaving the rider defenceless for a short period of time. The main thing is not to linger too close, because all can end with a rather destructive combination — which may well become fatal for the Wolf.

It will take a lot of time to win even regarding Souls-series games, and the thing is to remain patient, act consistently, not be carried away by causing momentary damage, block attacks and retreat in time.

Important: it's better not to abuse fireworks at the first stage of the battle, they will become much more useful later, since the enemy will reduce the time spent opened for a strike.

The Firecracker Arm can be purchased from a merchant who sits on a mountainside not far from the gate leading to an open location with the boss. Once purchasing it, equip and then use.
