Onimusha: Way of the Sword Greater Nue boss guide

The Greater Nue serves as a major story boss in the video game Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Encountered during the ‘What Lurks in the Shadows’ quest, the creature is a creation of the commander Dokyo within Nijo-jo Castle.

Players must navigate various attack patterns to succeed. The boss utilizes basic combos involving paw strikes and bites, which require reflex dodging or parrying. It also features a grab attack and an unblockable tail whip that necessitates a deflect or parry to avoid damage.

In its second phase, the Greater Nue gains new abilities, including summoning lightning strikes across the arena and releasing exploding orbs. Players are advised to avoid strike zones and use reflex dodging to escape explosions.
