To use the True Musou Attack, press the Musou Attack input during War God Rage, or wait for War God Rage to time out. The move is automatically performed at the end of the War God Rage period.

The True Musou Attack can only be used in War God Rage. Fill up the Musou Gauge to full, then press T on PC, or push down on both joysticks on console to start War God Rage.

Using the Attack Ends War God Rage

Sword in Combat

Choosing to use the True Musou Attack before War God Rage ends will end War God Rage then and there, so be wary of when and how you use the True Musou Attack to avoid prematurely exiting War God Rage.

Companion True Musou Attack

Fill up a Companion's Blue Swap Gauge

Companions can also use True Musou Attacks. To do this, fill up the blue Swap gauge under their HP Bar in combat, then, change characters using the C on PC, Touchpad on PS5, and the Options button on XBox.

Once using the companion, enter War God Rage to enable the use of their True Musou Attack. Note that before you unlock Ultimate Musou Attack, Companion True Musou Attacks are stronger than the Wanderer's, so don't hesitate to change characters in battle.
