I'll be on 20 minutes, if you want back up. That dude you summoned had the right idea!

Some kind of unarmed parry? Assuming it only works against man sized enemies?
Damn son ,not even Gwyn got parried this badly.

For people who don't want to deal with the Onryoki-lookalike that guards the temple key in the Twilight Mission: make him appear then draw his aggro, then leave the raised platform area you fight him and head toward the nearby shrine. He will lose interest in you and move back toward his spawn point with his back turned toward the gate. Sneak in and use the backstab from the ninjutsu branch or whatever your strongest move is. Rinse and repeat.

lmao these hitboxs/tracking, absloutelty ridiclious.

That's the main reason why I dislike fighting that enemy archetype. Their tracking is egregious, and has been since way back in the Alpha.

It's a purchasable skill.
I'm pretty sure (I'll double check) that's one of the moves that can't hit you if you're in front of her at touching/hugging distance.
The fireball hitting behind him was kinda weird but it does like no damage so I'm not too bothered. I'm more upset about Ogress's body slam hitbox.
Familiarize yourself with the audio cue and start running away from her. Even at my level (45) it still does a ridiculous amount of Ki and health damage. I've also seen some people hug right under her to avoid it, but I'd rather just run away.
Menthus, Onryoki (first boss of alpha and beta demos) would do the same thing with his cannonballs in the previous demos.

The ogress attack? best way to avoid is to just keep attacking the bosses chest, but yes its awful.
K, I guess I keep hearing this as a suggestion.
It has been the reason for my death like 6 times now.

Makes sense because later on the more you unlock more skills and abilities and become more proficient with everything it becomes more Ninja Gaiden
What do you think of the performance though? It's like no one counts 60fps as a graphic :S
Yeah, I'm so learning about all those buffs when the game comes out.

Just hug her and attack and roll away when she body slams. I couldn't summon anyone to help but I beat her by myself the second time I faced her using a spear in low stance. I was around lvl 10. Good luck. Game is addicting.
Decided to respec my character and invest in the kusarigama and Ninjutsu. Goodness gracious is this game ten times more fun with this play style than when playing with a spear. Combining the "GET OVER HERE" skill with the low stance light attack is like forcefully dragging your enemy into your personal chainsaw. Or bringing yourself over to them. The normal high stance strong attack makes for an excellent ranged attack as well.
I love it. Know exactly how I'm playing the game when it releases.

Bruh...
I hugged her and slaughtered her.
:O
THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS!
I was doing (Heavy) Y xx Y -> Medium Stance, (Medium) Y xx Y -> Heavy Stance (repeat) -- The extra Ki I got let me have perfect Ki for the fight and no Flurry hit me
There you go! Congratulations on the win, that type of constant stance switching lets you pile on tons of damage in a short span of time. She's definitely the simplest of the 5 bosses we've fought in Nioh.
Simplist? haha
That was like fighting the wins at the end of MNM for me until I hugged her. Blimey.
That pretty much is the same complaint dark souls 1 got but the art-style grew on people. The boss arena for Tachibana looks nice to me. Some graphical effects do look weird to me but i can get used to them. One thing's for sure, it beats the shit out of lords of the fallen to me.
Ugh, they haven't fixed this since beta 1, sends conflicting signals about how much you can depend on positioning since the bullshit tracking just randomly happen where most of the time you could avoid those moves fine with positioning!
Yeah. the tactic of just hugging her and attacking is largely what that battle consists of. It's just that she does ridiculous damage and her slam's hitbox is somewhat iffy. Beyond that there's nothing much more to her.
Nue (ape-faced, lightning tiger yokai) was a little more complex to fight
Onryoki (giant red oni chained to iron balls) was somewhat more complicated than Nue
Hino-enma (bat/succubus yokai) gave people hell in the beta demo
Muneshige Tachiba (human male with a sword) is the most complex boss we've had to fight in the demos.
I'm actually glad she's fairly simple because her arena is narrower than Onryoki's, while her regular attacks have much longer reach.

Check your items. You should have something called a Himorogi Branch/Fragment. They'll allow you to return to the world map with your Amrita.
Got my ass handed to me by the Ogress a couple of times yesterday, but managed to beat the boss on the first try this morning, and got the message about the item being unlocked as a boon in the full game.
But after finishing the mission and returning to the map screen, I was prompted to unlock "Mark of the Conqueror" and "Mark of the Strong" from PSN despite not finishing any Twilight Mission nor the new sub-mission that's available. How come?
Either way, if that's all that is unlockable from this Trial, I might stop here so as not to spoil more of the full game.

So close, yet so far away..
It was more common in previous betas, but it's the first time I've seen the boss kept staggered for so long in this one, it kept stacking up status effects. That and a well in-sync partner made Ogress not to be able to do anything.

Also, this happened
Onryoki appeared with his chain balls. It took me by surprise and I was expecting him to use them, but it seems it was just a bug.

I haven't played this game yet but I'm really hyped and looking forward to it.
Can I realistically make it to the rewards playing this a few h today or is it more or less impossible? D:
I have experience and beaten all Souls and Bloodborne several times
Bruh, definitely play it regardless.
LOL.

Yes.
Also, I like this level 31 water and level 31 lightning sword. BUT the electricity sound on the lightning sword gets rather old rather quickly.

It seems this mark dlc problem is US only.
For me, in the EU the marks were unlocked just fine. (After beating the twilight mission)
Got a notificiation that I could claim them after the normal mission but couldn't. After twilight everything was fine though.

Yeah marks downloaded fine (EU).
For Tachibana one shot, all you need is bare handed parry skill from Ninja tab. And from Ninja tab the Power Pill. From Omiyo the Talisman of the fist. Unequip your weapon, Pop Pill + Fist. Run up to Tachibana and hope he does his 2 hit combo. Catch the second swing.
The tracking in this game needs to be nerfed. Its especially unfun in narrow walkways. I've fought a Yokai and his overhead swing tracked more than 270 degrees. Thats ridiculous. It also looks dumb. Hitboxes were questionable in the Alpha, they're still not good enough.

When you offer coup to summon someone at "shrine" you loose one, OK? How to gain more?
Killing a Ghost seems to always give you one if you have 0 or smth
