This section ofNiOhgame guide includes a detailed description of aboss fight against Kat Derek.
Our description includes preparation for this battle and the details of two main stages.
However, don’t use them during combat with smaller enemies.
If your health is low, return to a Shrine and replenish your health.
Remember that heavy armor eats much more stamina during dodges, so customize your set according to your needs.
Take notice of your attack modifier.
Before you begin the fight, choose the weapon that has the highest attack value.
Each bang out of weapon has its separate stat, influencing the damage dealt.
During this stage, Derek is very resistible against physical attacks.
If you’ve managed to make him soak a combination, you’ll quickly lower his health points.
When that happens, you’ll see a cutscene in which your enemy mutates.
This marks the beginning of the next stage.
Stage 2
The most important aspect of the second stage is staying close to your opponent.
If you pull back, the enemy will perform a characteristic charge with his axe to the ground.
Also, avoid staying in the melee distance for longer periods of time.
The boss rests 1-2 seconds after each charge - attack him during that period.
Remember that you’ve got the option to parry when moving back.
Once you perform a few successful hits, the Living Weapon mode will become active.
you might also defeat the boss in the classic way, but the outcome will be the same.
The Living Weapon mode is activated by pressing Triangle and Circle simultaneously.
