Nioh 3 - How to Beat Hino-Enma

Hino-Enma is the boss of the side mission Abundant Evil in Nioh 3. See how to beat Hino-Enma, as well as the weaknesses, drops, and location in this guide.

How to Beat Hino-Enma

Hino-Enma Strategy






Use Ninja Style for Mobility

Ninja style is recommended for its high mobility, making it much easier to dodge her Paralysis attacks.

Keep in mind that while these attacks can be blocked, blocking will not stop the Paralysis from building up.

Deal Damage from Afar with Ninjutsu

Keep your distance and use Ninjutsu such as Uncanny Bolt, Shrapnel Bombs, and Kunai to deal damage from a distance. She'll answer with her own projectiles, but they are slow and easy to avoid.

Strike her with melee attacks during her recovery to recharge your Ninjutsu.

Exploit Red Attacks

If you maintain your distance from Hino-enma, she is more likely to do her red attack. This is a reliable way to inflict Burst Break and deal massive Ki damage, opening her up for combos.

Use Guardian Spirit Skills to Cancel Paralysis

Guardian Spirit Skills can be used to instantly cancel the effect of Paralysis, make sure to keep it ready at all times.

Another way to remove Paralysis is by using the item Antiparalytic Needle.

Farm Levels and Better Gear

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.
