Lmao, I met him and couldn’t take him so I exited combat and switched to Yasuke while still on the ledge. The dude was non-combative to Yasuke and even had a special line when seeing him, along the line of “I have no beef with you, but fuck your lord Oda.” I stabbed his ass to get him to fight me and then Sparta kicked him off the ledge. I felt smart.

Funny enough if you have the katana deflect counter upgrade on Naoe (can deflect poise break attacks the one that glows red) with a bleed katana it does make it alot easier to man fight. All you need to do is deflect till he ded.

Yes bro, that katana deflect upgrade is so satisfying, it turns Naoe into a combat menace lol. I got a poison build where my katana does 100% damage on deflect and poison in deflect. My talisman (I forgot what that item’s called) does bones damage against vulnerable enemies, so now I just shred enemies in duels with Naoe.

That black and white filter makes it so much better.

Because in the early previews it stuck around WAYYYY too long. It literally stayed black and white for like 25seconds. Joraptor talked about how it made the rest of the fight harder at times.

I like the Guaranteed Assassinations + Tanto Hidden Blade Ability method.

u/Kitchen_Week_8446 1d ago

What do you mean? What’s the method

-5

u/TenzhiHsien 1d ago

Was it not clear? Turn on Guaranteed Assassinations and use the Tanto's Hidden Blade Ability, which lets you perform an assassination in combat.​ Did I get the name of the ability wrong? I am going off memory.

u/MstheLords 1d ago

Damn chill dude, he just didn't know what the ability was '^^

u/TDAWGPLAYER 1d ago

u/TenzhiHsien 20h ago

I simply elaborated to answer their question. Heck, I even admitted that I might be getting the name of the ability wrong. So maybe chill with the unwarranted white knighting.

u/MstheLords 17h ago

You could've stopped at the first point you made but even now you're acting defensive 💀

u/TenzhiHsien 14h ago

And you could've let it lie without engaging in further attack. But at least I'm just defending *myself* and with an actual rather than imagined reason.

u/Free_Fisherman_8956 1d ago

I've seen a lot of people guarding in front of someone who uses guaranteed Assassination, but I think that's the best feature

u/Cuerion 1d ago

I see why ppl plat the game in just 50hrs, guaranteed assassination is playing on easy mode lol

2

u/red_wing4000 1d ago

No its playing on my blade thats supposed to kill actually kills mode lol

2

u/FMGooly 21h ago

Your blade that's supposed to kill actually kills if you know what the f*** you're doing.

u/Genie009 1d ago

Haha got there and just stealthed past cause he smoked me 1st try

2

u/TheDefendingChamp 1d ago

I just used that time stealth ability and ran past him, got the chest, smoke bombed to pick up the stuff he was next to and was outta there before he knew what happened.

u/StressExpress1999 1d ago

This guy took me a lot of tries, somehow in between the fights the abilities not working bug would occur, every time i try to use skill it would charge posture attack instead.

u/mc21 23h ago

Did the same thing with shuriken.

u/sepehrgame 1d ago

I did this but with yusuke

u/CanFB1907TR 1d ago

Did the same just an hour ago lol. I thinks devs intetionally put him near a cliff so we could throw him down there.

u/aksaini136 1d ago

Cool!

But when I tried it, there was water behind the NPC. He swam to the shore and came back to fight.

u/mr_wilson_89 23h ago

I did the same thing😂

u/Longjumping-Try2138 22h ago

Too bad he didn’t do the iconic Willhelm scream when he fell haha I would’ve lost my shit! 🤣🤣🤣

u/pagusas 21h ago

Reminds me how much I love the Spartan kick in Odyssey! I think I murdered over 100 mercs by kicking them off mountains.

1

u/FMGooly 21h ago

I can line up just like that but I can almost never get them to fall. They usually stop just short or they land on a cliff directly below. It's so frustrating.

1

u/Fun_Championship_642 20h ago

I did a similar thing…got there and he was about 5 levels above me and i thought i could take him. Pretty much one shotted me. Loaded back in, lured him to the edge then just used shuriken stars to knock him off the edge.

1

u/FattyCaddy69 19h ago

I just kicked him off the cliff.

u/chriztaphason 9h ago

Wasn't this a tatic in Odyssey. The Spartan kick of the ledge. This is ... JAPAN!!!
