How to Tame Gozuki
Gift Ruby
To befriend Gozuki, perform a Dance of Bonds during the fight, until you see the befriend icon show up underneath its HP bar, and proceed to defeat it. Once it gets back up, interact with it and gift it a Ruby. Keep in mind that you only have 3 chances before the dance wears off and the Boss disappears.
Gozuki also takes up 4 Barn Spaces, so make sure that you have enough space for it in any of the dev zones before attempting to befriend it.
Best Loadout for Gozuki and Mezuki
Best Weapons
| Main Weapon | Secondary Weapon |
|---|---|
 Amethyst Bolt Axe
|
 Arcane Light Talismans
|
The Amethyst Bolt Axe is a Long Sword with high attack power and wind attack, which works effectively against Gozuki and Mezuki, since it has a weakness to Long Swords.
Bringing the Arcane Light Talismans as a secondary weapon allows you to deal damage to Gozuki and Mezuki with ranged attacks, providing a decent weapon alternative utilizing Light Attacks.
Best Equipment
| Headgear | Pauldron | Accessory |
|---|---|---|
 Warrior Hat
|
 Magic Shield
|
 Ring of Repose
|
The Warrior Hat, Magic Shield, and Ring of Repose are all equipment that can be crafted from recipes found before fighting Gozuki and Mezuki.
Equipping all three increases your defensive stats, allowing you to tank more hits before needing to heal while fighting against Gozuki and Mezuki.
Best Party Members
 Cuilang
Defender |
 Kotaro
Debuffer |
 Ulalaka
Healer |
 Matsuri
Attacker |
 Murasame
Attacker |
 Fubuki
Buffer |
Bringing a team consisting of Cuilang, Kotaro, and Ulalaka for your first team gives you a defensive team, allowing you to survive Gozuki and Mezuki's attacks easier while they are not stunned.
Once Gozuki and Mezuki are stunned, switch to Matsuri, Murasame, and Fubuki, who will provide an offensive boost, allowing you to deal more damage while Gozuki and Mezuki are stunned.

| Gozuki and Mezuki Strategy |

Upgrade Short Sword Skills
Upgrading your Short Sword Skills is a great way to make the boss battle easier.
Try to prioritize Charge Attack, and Ultimate Attack nodes for the Short Sword, and adding points in STR will also help increase your overall damage.
Stun Both Bosses at the Same Time
Stunning both bosses at the same time allows you to land dance stances effectively reducing both their HP by a good amount each time.
Despite their different elemental weaknesses, both Gozuki and Mezuki are weak to Short Swords, which should allow you to stagger them quickly with good positioning.
Bring Lots of Recovery Items
Gozuki and Mezuki has very powerful attacks, and coming underleveled and unprepared can make the fight significantly harder.
Stock up on healing and food items by purchasing or cooking before challenging the boss!
Use Dance Stances When Stunned
During the Gozuki and Mezuki boss fight, you can use Dance Stances once they are stunned to deal more damage. Since the bosses have different weaknesses, utilize your strongest Sacred Treasure to deal the most damage once the bosses are stunned instead.
Ideally, your goal is to build 2 charge bars using attacks before the boss is stunned. Once it's stunned, use up all your charge bars by performing the Dances, ideally positioned in between them, to deal massive amounts of damage quickly.
Aim for Perfect Dodge
Performing a Perfect Dodge gives you a brief window of opportunity where the monster is slowed, allowing you to freely perform your combos.
During the Gozuki and Mezuki boss fight, perfect dodges are more important compared to previous boss fights, since its attacks deal significantly more damage, and has shorter wind-up times.
Gozuki and Mezuki Rewards
Various Item Drops
Challenging and defeating Gozuki and Mezuki drops Ruby, Rich Soil, Red Soil, Iron, and Earth Crystal after the first battle.
Defeating Gozuki and Mezuki in different locations later on in the game will result in additional drops, such as the Lustrous Gem for defeating them in the Forest of Endings, and Platinum upon defeating them in the Rakshasa Gorge.

Where do you get the recipe for The Amethyst Bolt Axe? Your guide says it's from a wayside shrine in The Underworld, but this boss is at the very beginning of The Underworld? Hopefully I've misunderstood something!
