How to Beat Okita Soji
To beat Okita Soji, it's recommended to fight him as a solo boss during the Solitary Blade side quest. Follow these tips to easily win the encounter:
- Fight During the Solitary Blade Side Quest
- Jump Over His Attacks
- Exploit His Coughing Fits
- Be Wary of Hyper Armor when Attacking
- Use Your Summoning Seals
- Farm Levels and Better Gear
- Secure with Living Artifact
- Summon Assistance from Acolytes
- Use Talismans and Items for Buffs
Fight During the Solitary Blade Side Quest
It’s highly recommended to take on Okita Soji during the Solitary Blade side quest because he appears as a solo boss in that encounter. If you defeat him there, he will not show up in the Crucible right before Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
Otherwise, you’ll be forced into a back-to-back fight against both of them. If you fall against Yoshinobu, you’ll have to defeat Okita all over again to get another shot.
Jump Over His Attacks
You can safely jump over most of Okita Soji’s attacks because he lacks vertical reach. This is especially effective against his long attack chains and grabs. By jumping instead of blocking or dodging, you can conserve Ki to punish him from behind.
Exploit His Coughing Fits
Keep an eye out for Okita Soji’s coughing fits, which typically occur after his long attack chains. Use this opening to safely deal damage, heal up, or refresh your buffs.
Be Wary of Hyper Armor when Attacking
When attacking Okita Soji, be careful because he gains hyper armor during his own strikes, meaning he will not stagger. Make sure to disengage as soon as he starts his counter-attack or you’ll likely get punished.
Use Your Summoning Seals
Do not forget to use your summoning seals, especially as you can now have two of them equipped by this stage in the game. They can help deal extra damage, open opportunities to attack, or even save you from dying.
Farm Levels and Better Gear
If you're struggling at the recommended level, take some time to gain a few extra levels and farm better gear before your next attempt.

Secure with Living Artifact
Keep your Living Artifact ready to secure the victory when Okita Soji is low. You're invulnerable while in this state but you must still dodge or block because sustaining damage shortens its duration.
You also have unlimited Ki while Living Artifact is active. Use this to spam your most potent Martial Arts.
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.
You can also use the talismans from Soul Cores listed below to give you an advantage.
| Talisman / Soul Core | Effect |
|---|---|
| Scampuss Summoning Seal (Scampuss Soul Core) |
Shreds enemy Ki quickly |
| Life Leech Talisman (Mermaid Soul Core) |
Helps keep your health topped up |
| Preservation Talisman (Mujina Soul Core) |
Saves you from a fatal hit |
| Barrier Talisman (Otoroshi Soul Core) |
Boosts Ki regeneration and dispels Yokai Realms |
