Guides for the video game Onimusha: Way of the Sword provide combat strategies for various boss encounters.

For the boss Sasaki Ganryu at Kiyomizu, players are advised to manage stamina, parry strikes, and dodge kicks to eventually use a ‘Break Issen’ move. For the boss Daidara in the first Oni Refuge, players should target his legs to destroy armor and manage souls to prevent him from gaining power. Daidara enters a ‘Burning state’ during his second phase.

In the Windswept Kennin-ji quest, players facing the Genma enemy Ifuu can use parrying, arrows to stun wind-based attacks, and Reflex Dodges to counter grab attacks. Using the Oni Gauntlet to absorb souls is recommended to prevent Ifuu from entering a ‘Berserk state’.
