Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - Great Shinobi Owl Boss Guide

Great Shinobi Owl

Boss List

Strategy

First HP Bar

• It is difficult to identify which attack he is going to use and most of his moves have wide ranges. You will need to parry and avoid certain attacks for a chance at victory.

You will have very little chance to attack, even when you are nearby.

• The first chance to attack is after he performs the dash slash. There is a high chance of getting a window to attack if you avoid or parry the move. It is best you parry it to fill up his posture gauge.

The dashing slash attack. Prepare to parry once you see this.

Attack after parrying. It is possible to deal more damage if he throws the green smoke bomb, as it has a slow animation.

• Your second chance to attack is after a jump slash. Avoid this by sidestepping, then launch an attack afterward.

He will often jump slash after throwing two shuriken. This pattern is easy to memorize.

Avoid the jump attack by sidestepping.

Strike him on the side once he is open.

• Be wary of the green smoke bomb. If you are hit by this, you will not be able to heal or use recovery items.

It is dangerous to be afflicted by this condition.

Second HP Bar

• His moves are the same as before with the exception of a few added attacks.
• When he jumps into the air, instead of throwing shurikens, he will throw out poison. The condition this causes is the same as the green smoke bomb, preventing you from using recovery items.

The poison attack. Avoid the liquid.

The liquid will remain on the ground for a while. Try to not step on it as you battle Owl.
