Hattori Hanzo Boss Guide

Since Hattori moves very fast, you have to match up with his speed by equipping dual katanas in low stance. The low stance delivers faster attacks than any other stances while using the dual katanas. Dodge his attacks every once in a while and also avoid the shurikens that he will throw at you. Once he is open, proceed to strike him with consecutive blows. He has a very weak guard, so keep striking him once his Ki is low or depleted.

The same strategy can also be applied during your second battle against him.
