How to Beat Ibaraki Doji

Ibaraki Doji Boss Fight Tips







Ninja Style Recommended for Mobility

Ninja style is recommended for this encounter as it offers greater survivability against Ibaraki Doji's swift attacks and deceptively long reach thanks to her lightning magic.

Equip the Ninja skills Yokai Banisher and Evil-Dispelling Evade to purify Yokai Realms that hinder your Ki regeneration.

List of All Skills

Use Ninjutsu and Talismans

Use Ninjutsu such as Uncanny Bubble and Shrapnel Bombs to deal damage from afar while repositioning out of tight corners.

Punish Long Recovery Times from Behind

Ibaraki has lengthy recovery times after her attacks, especially her lightning magic. Dodge toward her rear and get in some quick backstabs.

Be Aggressive When She Runs out of Ki

When you deplete her Ki, start going on the offensive. Your attacks will make her flinch and interrupt her if she attempts to strike back.

This is your best damage window as Ibaraki Doji doesn't have a lot of red attacks that you can Burst Break.

Prioritize Evading in the Dark Realm

Ibaraki Doji ramps up her lightning magic while in the Dark Realm and becomes more aggressive. Focus on staying alive by dodging, and purifying Yokai Realms if you can.

Farm Levels and Better Gear

If you're still struggling with Ibaraki Doji, don't hesitate to farm some levels and equip better gear before trying again.

Summon Assistance from Acolytes

Summon an acolyte from nearby benevolent graves to serve as a distraction and help deal chip damage. You'll need Ochoko Cups to summon acolytes, which you can obtain by defeating revenants from bloody graves.

Use Talismans and Items for Buffs

Use talismans and items such as Power Talismans and Power Pills to boost your attack. Note that they do not stack and only refresh the duration of the attack buff.
