IT'S ALL OGRE NOW! (Nioh 2)

Some bosses in Nioh 2 demand precision. Others demand patience. Shibata Katsuie demands both. Welcome back to another chapter of my Nioh 2 playthrough! In this episode, I take on one of the game's most intimidating warriors, Shibata Katsuie. What begins as a battle against a legendary samurai quickly escalates into a brutal clash against a monstrous yokai whose raw power can end a run in seconds. With devastating axe swings, relentless charges, enormous damage, and very few opportunities to breathe, this fight is a true test of everything you've learned throughout the game. Shibata Katsuie has earned a reputation among the Nioh community as one of the most memorable and frustrating bosses in the base game. His aggressive attack patterns force you to stay focused every second of the encounter. One mistimed dodge or greedy attack can completely swing the momentum in his favor, making every victory feel well-earned. Throughout this fight, I'll be looking for safe openings, managing Ki efficiently, avoiding devastating charge attacks, and adapting to his changing attack patterns as the battle intensifies. Whether this boss took you a single attempt or dozens, it's easy to see why so many players remember this encounter long after finishing the game. If you're currently stuck on Shibata Katsuie, hopefully this gameplay gives you a few ideas for positioning, timing your dodges, recognizing attack tells, and identifying the safest opportunities to counterattack. Sometimes simply watching another approach can make all the difference before jumping back into the fight yourself. Nioh 2 continues to be one of my favorite action RPGs thanks to its incredibly satisfying combat system, deep weapon mechanics, challenging yokai encounters, and unforgettable boss designs. Every victory feels earned, and every defeat teaches you something new. That's part of what makes this game so rewarding to play.
