The Tale Of Lord Shimura - Boss Fight Tips

Focus On Parrying & Countering

Parry & Counter Lord Shimura

Lord Shimura will attack you head-on. Be wary of his normal attacks and block to parry. Follow your parry with a △ mixed with □ to damage him heavily. It is highly recommended to parry him as this is the only way to gain Resolve and heal during this fight!

Crossing Swords Unlocks New Moves

Crossing Swords

Whittling his health to a certain point will cause the two of you to cross swords. Take this as a sign that he's going to use more devastating moves moving forward. You cross blades twice during the course of this duel, once when he's at 50% health and the last at 25% health.

Be Ready To Dodge When Katana Is Sheathed

Overhead Slash

Lord Shimura will sometimes attack you with an unblockable overhead strike combo. Dodge to the side 3 times to evade this. He also uses a side slash that starts with an unblockable slash, followed by two other attacks. Note that you can parry the third move of this combo.

Heavenly Strikes Are Effective

Heavenly Strikes

Use Heavenly Strikes if you find it difficult to dodge Lord Shimura's red attacks. However, it is recommended that you wait for him to attack and parry him instead as you may need the Resolve to heal.
