- Lady Butterfly
- Seven Spears
- Headless
- Ashina Elite (lol this guy shreds me and I can't touch him)
- Sunken Valley (the one non-boss path I've yet to explore at the moment. guess I'm going there next!)
- Genichiro
- whoever the guy is that shows up at the place where you started the game

7 spears - struggling way too much with this one even with the first stealth hit. I'm not good at the mikiri counter so I'll have to find another way to do it

Long Arm Centipede - I know what to do on this one I think using the umbrella or attempting to block all 10 attacks in a row which is doubtful

Genichiro - probably not going to try him until I get 2 more prayer beads being one of the hardest bosses in the game

Snake Eyes Shirahagi - I don't think I am supposed to be here yet so I'll come back lol

#1 Press the stick towards him and hit the button to counter. If you hit any direction but towards the enemy it won't work. Once I learned this it was easy.

#2 Firecrackers are your friend. I died way too much to him just being a moron.

#3 Stay close and deflect a lot. Block immediately when he jumps. Mikiri counter is really good. I got stuck here for close to 100 attempts because I'm bad.

His attacks are too fast for me to have a hope of parrying, but since he's pretty consistent about slowly walking towards you and then attacking once he's in range, you can just repeatedly use mist raven to teleport behind him when he attacks. His posture seems pretty weak compared to most bosses so you can break him pretty easily.

On attempt number, approximately, 35, I finally dealt Genichiro two deathblows

AND THE ****ING FIGHT ISN'T OVER WHAT THE ****

AND THEN WHEN I OBVIOUSLY DIE TO THE LIGHTNING EDITION IT'S NOT EVEN LIKE I CAN START ON THE SECOND PHASE AFTER DYING, I HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE ****ING THING OVER AGAIN

**** THIS GAME

Attack. Always. Get up in his face and attack. Repeatedly. Don't stop. With like one or two exceptions (read on!).

It seems like he'll generally block two of your attacks, then decide what to do next, which might be:
- nothing (keep attacking! break that posture!)
- try to slash you back
- do one of a couple special moves

If he slashes you back, ignore him. They'll hit you sometimes but they don't do a lot of damage.

If he jumps back and makes a little space, guard, immediately. He's going to jump and shoot a bunch of arrows at you. Just block them.

If he starts an unguardable move, depending on which health bar you're on, it's always the same move:
- health bar 1: it's a thrust, do mikiri counter
- health bar 2: it's a sweep, do the double jump

If he starts this slow animation where he kinda goes in a half circle and turns towards you and starts swinging, you can't stop that animation, but you can get several free slashes in before the actual attacks begin. Once he does just back off until he's done, then get back in and keep attacking.

For both of the first two health bars, this is a pretty reliable way to posture break him.

Once you get to the third bar...good luck. I got lucky with the attacks he did on me and got like three mikiri counters in a short amount of time, and only had to dodge one lightning attack.

Jump from above to take his first health bar.

Retreat into the cave. Jump up on the ledge. Wait for him to follow you, swing a couple times, jump back down.

From the bottom, swing away, don't stop. He will generally try a bunch of attacks from the ledge above, and they CAN hit you, just back off a little, but otherwise keep attacking; you can hit him from below much easier than he can hit you from above. If he jumps down to join you below, jump back up and repeat.
