Hey guys!

Picked up the game this week to try and speedrun it (just got my time down to a 2:24:41 on the 2nd run), and I need some clarifications on a couple things as just seem kinda "stuck". For reference, all questions relay to the Any% Momohime category on Fury Mode, playing on a PSTV.

1.) The big one: How the hell does the last boss fight work? I have the Blade on Waning Hope equipped, cooked Cabbage Stew and even had the Peony Blade, but I just could never beat the boss before the timer on all 6 of my Uchimori Stones had run out. I seem to be missing something here and I just don't know what. Watching capxr221's run, he seems to be able to spam the ability WAY faster than I can as well. Can you somehow cancel the recovery animation with another input?

2.) Is there a reason why people don't seem to go all-out on Raijin when she has been knocked to the ground? It seems runners are deliberately counting their hits there or something.

3.) Any particular way how to handle the last health bar of the Boss Oni consistently? At the moment it seems to be somewhat of a crapshoot to me if he "behaves" or just outright kills you when he's angry.

4.) Speaking of which, is there any in-depth guide to the bosses in general that I can read up on?

　There is only one glitch in this game, and when you pass through the gate of the boss battle, you will be forcibly switched to the leftmost sword, but the attack power of the sword at this time is the attack of the sword equipped before passing through the gate It is helping. Therefore, the most efficient way to hold a sword when running is to equip the top with a water witch blade, the second with the strongest sword that can be equipped at that time, and the third with a peony blade. Become.

Fudo Myoo uses this glitch to fight, but the mystery of Waterwitch Blade, Chaos Roar I, has better damage efficiency than Chaos Roar II, so he uses an inner cloudy whetstone to increase the attack power of the glitch and Chinese cabbage pot. I'm defeating it.

　Although it is a thunder god battle, there is a specification that the boss battle with a physical strength gauge will not reach the final gauge until 64 seconds have passed in the in-game time. And how the upper gauge decreases depends on the speed at which the lower gauge is scraped. If it takes time to set the lower gauge to 0, the upper gauge will decrease significantly, but if it is set to 0 in a short time, the upper gauge will also decrease slightly. Because of this specification, we are attacking while adjusting the time.

　Big Oni battle is premised on equipping the top with Tadashi Kaiyanmura (Waterwitch Blade) and using the attack power takeover glitch. After 4 stations on the ground + bottom cut, 3 sets on the ground + bottom cut are performed. Then, the motion changes, so hit the lower cut repeatedly to extend the state, and when the remaining physical strength becomes about 1/4, hit the phantom thunder light (Chaos Roar I) repeatedly to defeat it. 　 　Regarding guides, there is no guide for this. This sentence uses Google Translate, so I think there is something wrong with it.

hey there,

you can look up on my guide i made for this game, i wrote some notes on certain bosses in this game and how I do them. Some strats are probably very inconsistent, but it's still better than doing random stuff i guess. Also it's nice to see people picking up this game :)

Thanks for the replies, guys! :)

@capxr221 I did NOT know about that weapon switching glitch, nor had I seen it mentioned anywhere so far! That explains so much! :D Also yes, there seems to be some problem with the translation, but I think I understand enough to make sense of it. Really appreciate your input!

@Suome Yeah, I had a look at it, but I don't think the specific things I asked get mentioned there, so I took to the forums. Thanks for writing down what you did, though! Information for this game seems to be hard to come by.
