These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Tsukumogami It appears during the ending “Fox's Wedding”. Keep Attacking as Long as You Have Stamina and Openings Countering with a Perfect Dodge is certainly an effective option, but since this boss leaves many openings, you can safely continue attacking without always waiting for a counter opportunity. By this point, your Prayer upgrades should be progressing, and if you have already unlocked the maximum number of Amulet slots, you can create a build that allows for a more effective approach. Needless to say, you should still manage your stamina carefully and preserve some for evasion. After all, this is a boss battle—its attacks are undeniably powerful. Once you become familiar with its attacks, proactively use Perfect Dodges to conserve stamina whenever possible. There Is an Achievement You Can Unlock If you take down the boss without getting hit by its arrow-based ranged attacks during the mid-phase of the fight, you can unlock an Achievement. Details on the attack patterns will be explained later, but there are moments where Perfect Dodging becomes necessary. Equipping the Omamori 【Suzuran】will make performing Perfect Dodges easier, making this Achievement slightly more manageable and thus recommended. Attack Patterns ① Strikes with Its Weapon There are several variations of this ...

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Drum, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Drum Where This Boss Appears: Main Hall Walkthrough Defeat the Minions First Take out the minions hanging from the ceiling before dealing with the Drum, and make sure to take down (and Soul Absorb) the minions first to secure a 1-on-1 fight. The chaotic brawls in this place are already tough, and the Drum’s special attacks that utilize nearby minions make things even worse. If you eliminate the minions, the Drum will lose most of its attack options and be forced into close-range combat, making the fight dramatically easier. Awakening Makes Minion Cleanup Stable Activating Awakening allows you to attack safely and quickly without the hassle of Soul Absorption. The ideal strategy varies depending on the Action Difficulty, but on [Story] it’s best to prioritize the Drum, while on [Hard] you should focus on the minions first and use remaining Awakening time to strike the boss. If you use Awakening early on, the fight ends surprisingly quickly. I saved it for later, but honestly, there was no real reason to hold onto it for the Drum. Attack Patterns ① Launches Minions with Threads When it beats the drum on its stomach, that’s the signal. It manipulates minions connected by thin threads and launches ...

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Tumor Woman, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Tumor Woman Where This Boss Appears: Worship Hall Walkthrough Its movements are slow, and its attacks are not particularly overwhelming. However, things get troublesome once the small enemies spawned from its cocoons join the fight, so make sure to take down the cocoons before they hatch. After that, simply wait for openings and chip away with light naginata attacks to wear it down and win. Even on [Hard], this battle is surprisingly easy. The [Priestess] fight is actually tougher. Attack Patterns ① Vomit Spray Blood spurting from its face is the signal. You’ll get used to it quickly and be able to dodge it with ease. ② Double Charge It covers a fairly long distance in a straight line, so evade to the side. Occasionally, an effect appears indicating a counter opportunity—don’t miss it. ③ Minion Summon Once it produces a cocoon, destroying it becomes your top priority. The minions actually deal more damage than the Tumor Woman herself, and fighting a 1-vs-2 can get overwhelming fast. ④ Roar If you keep attacking recklessly, it will unleash a roar that deals area-of-effect damage. If you feel you’ve gotten too close, keeping some distance is a valid way to manage the risk. Boss ...

This guide explains efficient ways to take down the Sakuko-Like Entity (referred to as Priestess in this guide), key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Priestess Where This Boss Appears: Corridors Walkthrough It is something that resembles Sakuko. Since it has no official name in the in-game UI, this guide refers to it as [Priestess]. Maintaining distance while landing counterattacks after successful dodges is the safest strategy. This enemy has a wide variety of attack patterns and each hit deals heavy damage, so attempting to brute-force your way through will require exceptional timing and reaction skills—especially on Hard difficulties. Why Priestess? (Tap to expand) Priestess refers to what is known in Japan as a Miko — a shrine maiden. The boss’s design is inspired by shrine maidens because Sakuko comes from a family connected to a Shinto shrine, making this visual motif intentional rather than random. In Japanese otaku culture, Miko characters are usually portrayed as cute, pure, or “moe” archetypes.However, in this game… things take a very different turn. (And it's horrifying.) Attack Patterns ① Club Throw When she raises the club in her left hand, that's your cue. She will throw it, so sidestep horizontally to avoid it. Moving straight backward is a bit risky. On [Hard] difficulty, an additional pattern occurs after the throw. ・Throw → ...

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Araabare, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Araabare Where This Boss Appears: Amida-Shirakawa Walkthrough You Don’t Need to Defeat It Yes, you can beat it — but there’s absolutely no reason to. It’s just a hassle. As Shu mentioned, entering the barn is essentially the end of the encounter. However, the key drops into the well, so you’ll need to pull it back up. Lure It Away and Crank the Well The entire area is shaped like a figure-eight. While slowly luring the boss toward one end, turn the crank on the well. It’s incredibly heavy — each crank takes around 7 seconds. Do this three times to obtain the key. Action: Hard After your first successful crank, a minion will appear. Take care of it while watching the boss’s movement; if you leave it alive, cranking becomes nearly impossible. Once you retrieve the key and enter the barn, immediately move the stacked items on the left. Ignore the two minions inside, climb out through the high window, and you’re done. Boss Strategy: Araabare (Rematch) Where This Boss Appears: Ebisugaoka - Second Visit Walkthrough You Can Take It Down When it reappears near Chizuruya General Store, you’re supposed to take the alternate route without fighting, but you can still take ...

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Shiromuku, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Shiromuku If You Can Manage Your Stamina, Go on the Offensive Counterattacks are a valid option, but this boss has noticeable openings, so you don’t always need to wait for a perfect dodge to strike back. However, make sure to conserve enough stamina for evasive actions—the boss’s attacks are powerful and often come in rapid chains. Once you’re familiar with its moves, take advantage of dodge counters to maintain your stamina while dealing damage. You Can Revive Multiple Times You can revive twice in this fight (excluding the Lost in the Fog action difficulty). After your first revival, you gain a buff that gradually restores HP over time. Upon your second revival, you additionally gain a durability-infinite Steel Pipe, no Sanity / Stamina consumption, and unlimited full recovery using a Red Capsule. At this point, it’s basically Super Hinako Time—dodge freely, Focus as much as you want, and unleash your Focus Attacks nonstop. Still, even Super Hinako can fall, so don’t get careless. This encounter is practically a guaranteed victory once revivals kick in, but taking down the boss without reviving unlocks an Achievement. If you’re aiming for 100% completion, give it a try.
