Do you remember the Onryoki boss from Nioh 3? This is your second encounter with this foe. And while the first encounter took place early in the game and may have seemed challenging to you, in this battle you’ll see just how much stronger your character has become.

Nioh 3 Onryoki boss fight

Actually, he’s not really a boss anymore just a tough opponent. He’s just standing on a bridge, and it doesn’t look like a boss battle location. From the very first seconds of the fight, it becomes clear why. Your magical abilities and Ninja Tools simply leave the opponent no chance. In the first battle, this boss wasn’t difficult either, but back then I needed an ultimate ability to win.

In this fight, he’s just a training dummy for honing your skills. That’s the kind of character progression you see midway through the game, and there are still plenty of challenges ahead. It’s fascinating to watch how tough opponents turn into mere pushovers right from the start of the game. That’s exactly why we love playing this game.
