First, I’ll tell you how to find the Bloodedge Demon boss in Nioh 3. You can start a duel with the red player death spot. After winning, arrows will appear on the map indicating the direction where you will find this boss.

Next, let’s talk about how to defeat this boss. There are many tactics, and it all depends on your playing style. In my videos, you will see perhaps not the best tactic for this boss, but it is safer and easier to execute. Of course, because of this, the battle itself drags on and you will not defeat the boss as quickly as in samurai mode, but if you are having problems with this boss, my tactic will help you. I play exclusively as a ninja. In this battle, as in most, I try to stay at a distance from the boss so as not to take damage from his powerful blows. Since my equipment weight does not exceed 30%, my character moves very quickly, and when the boss attacks, there is a large window of opportunity to dodge.

If you dodge perfectly, you will replenish your supply of throwing items. This is the basis of the entire battle tactic. We will throw shurikens and kunai at the Bloodedge Demon from a distance. In this battle, I did not strike the boss with my main weapon at all, except when my ultimate ability was activated.

Every time Bloodedge Demon changes its location, it changes the main element it belongs to. Fire is probably the most unpleasant element. Fire attacks are the hardest to dodge. In this case, the boss’s main element is water. This can be seen by the four blue swords held by the enemy. Sometimes during the fight, the two upper swords will change elements. And the boss will attack with attacks that are characteristic of other elements in his performance. When my supply of throwing items is completely used up, I activate my ultimate ability to deal more damage to the enemy and also recharge my throwing items.

During the ultimate ability, I act as lazily as possible, simply repeating a simple combination. Jump and heavy attack. This combination deals a lot of damage to the enemy. Of course, when the boss hits the character with his attack, the ultimate ability gauge drops sharply. Ideally, you should also dodge or block the boss’s most dangerous attacks, but I’m just too lazy to do that. I know that I will finish the fight by simply dodging and throwing shurikens.

After that, you need to be patient and act cautiously. The boss has so much health left. But he is still dangerous and can win with one powerful blow. Your task is to prevent this blow from hitting its target. If you have watched the latest world-class boxing matches, you have seen that this tactic is used by the undisputed champion Alexander Usyk. There is much to say about this tactic, whether it is right for boxing or not, but the fact remains. It is this strategy that allows you to defeat difficult opponents. You need to constantly move, dodge, and wear down your opponent.

Any strong opponent can end the fight with one powerful blow, but only if they hit you. I like this tactic because I don’t give my opponent the opportunity to hit me with powerful blows. Some light blows are missed, but the damage is easy to recover from. In general, as I have said many times, it is better to prolong the fight a little, but still win it, than to rush, go into direct combat, and lose. The main thing here depends on the mode you are used to playing in. If you know how to parry blows in time, you can do it. I prefer to dodge more.

If you are attentive and patient, you will defeat any opponent. In this case, we managed to defeat the rather difficult boss Bloodedge Demon. The key is to dodge and restore your throwing items. In conclusion, I would like to say that everyone has the right to choose their own tactics for the battle. The main thing is that these tactics lead to results.
