Boss List

Strategy

  • Defeat the surrounding enemies before focusing on Juzo. The boss appears in the middle of the area, so it is better to defeat all other targets in the mansion and in the courtyard.

Juzo the Drunkard

  • Speak to Nogami Gensai to befriend him. Since it is possible to talk to Gensai when enemies in the area are alerted, it is possible to take on the boss two-on-one if you defeat the minor enemies first. Make sure you talk to him quickly, as Juzou can deal damage to Sekiro while talking.

Juzo the Drunkard

  • If Juzo targets Gensai, you can safely attack from behind.

Juzo the Drunkard

Reduce his HP by half.

  • Since the boss’ poison mist covers a considerable area, watch out for when Juzo drinks from his bottle and be ready to dodge.

Juzo the Drunkard

Get close when you see the above motion.

  • It is quite risky to parry Juzo, so focus instead on reducing his HP.
