How to Beat Ookubo Sanzaemon

Ookubo Sanzaemon Serious Difficulty

Attack and Parry

This stage is easy enough to complete as long as you keep attacking the opponent, but Parrying their attacks can deal more damage and complete the stage faster!

Ookubo Sanzaemon Dire Difficulty

Parry right after the sword shine

Wait for Ookubo Sanzaemon to do their Honed Technique and press Parry right after his sword shines to counter his attack perfectly! This will deal massive damage and end the fight faster.

Ookubo Sanzaemon Perilous Difficulty

Avoid the fireworks attack

In this stage difficulty, Ookubo Sanzaemon will sometimes throw small firework bombs that deal Pyro DMG. This attack can be blocked, but still applies damage so dodge it as much as you can!

Perfect Parry to collect Valor Stacks

You can also Parry his normal attacks and collect Valor Stacks to deal more damage!
