General information:
Saito Yoshitatsu is the second human boss in NiOh 2.
Even though he is human, he can use Yokai Shift, including Feral and Brute forms.
In battle, he uses an Odachi and two swords.
When he uses Odachi, his speed gets reduced.
However, he can deal much more damage in a short time.
Dual swords make his attacks much faster.
A good idea to fight this boss is to remain in the mid stance.
He lunges at the player, piercing them and ending up behind the player.
Saito can use the same attack with Odachi.
when you see purple forms/clones forming behind him, it means that he is about to perform this technique.
Dodge to the side at that moment.
you’re able to also make a run at block it.
It is better to perform a dodge - you will get behind him and deal some damage.
It is best to attack him after the attack animation is over.
Getting behind him during this attack isn’t a good idea.
Dodging backward is a better choice.
From time to time, the boss will use Yokai Shift.
You have to wait and keep dodging his attacks until he is done.
Then you’re free to start attacking the boss.
His balance is weak, so you will be able to attack him freely without any negative consequences.
When he turns into a fire throw in Yokai (red color), his attacks will get slower.
However, your attacks won’t have any effects on him.
If you attempt to perform more than two attacks, you will endanger your character.
When Saito is using Odachi, his attacks get slightly slower.
His attacks are usually done in a straight line.
While using Odachi, Saito can also use a grab attack.
The range of this attack is very small and it isn’t fast.
Expect him to use this move when you attack in rapid succession, even when he blocks your strikes.
It does quite a lot of damage, so keep that in mind.
