This section ofNiOhgame guide includes a detailed description of aboss fight against Umibozu.
Our description includes the preparation for this battle, and the boss’s attacks.
We have also described the two main stages of this boss fight.
you might interact with them and enchant your weapon with fire.
Each interaction depletes a fire source so you could only use three enchantments during the entire fight.
before you get going the fight, you should preparefire amulets, explosive rounds, burning shuriken or bombs.
If he notices you and doesn’t go under water then he may perform a few ranged attacks.
Among them there can be one that can kill you instantly when you are hit with it.
Dodge all attacks and use pauses between boss' attacks to throw bombs or shoot explosive rounds.
Remember to move to the center of the pier, otherwise, your bombs may not reach their target.
After that the boss goes underwater and moves closer to one of the pier’s edges.
Use this moment to interact with a burning stack and set your weapon on fire.
I recommend the first option because after learning his attack animations staying alive will be much easier.
Ranged attacks:
Water bubble- deals water damage and slows you down for a few seconds.
Umibozu can use this attack when you stay close to him.
Ship- this attack is telegraphed and shortly after that, the boss spits out a shipwreck at you.
Besides that, the attack deals a lot of damage even if you block it.
Beam ray- the boss leans towards the pier for a brief moment.
If you are close enough you could approach the “eye” and hit it.
It works in the same way as glowing spots on his tentacles but the boss receives more damage.
Melee attacks:
Attacking with one tentacle- the boss raises one tentacle.
Then he hits the pier.
Then, you must lock on boss' “eyes” again.
you’re free to avoid the tentacles and attack any of them by aiming at the weak spot.
You should perform dodges towards boss' torso.
This area is safe during this attack.
Notice that aweak spot on tentacles is always in a different spot.
From time to time, the boss jumps to the other side of the pier.
When he submerges, move to the pier’s center.
Besides that, some of his attacks can push you back which can move you out of the pier.
Otherwise, it’s possible for you to easily fall into his trap.
Of course, you’re able to keep using bombs and other items that inflict fire damage.
Types of attacks:
The same as before, however, the boss now has a few new moves.
Jump attack- the boss prepares to jump, makes a small jump and falls down.
Absorbing attack- after performing the attack described above the boss spills all over the pier.
Keep pressing the dodge button for get up from the ground.
Jump to a side and hit a glowing spot that, similarly to tentacles, will change its place.
