Hey good people, sorry but I completely forgot to mention the snake statues! Before fighting the boss you have to destroy the 3 snake statues around the area before the boss fight. There's one out in the open area against a wall, one in the area behind the shrine, and one in a cave. If you don't destroy those there will be annoying poison pools in the arena and you don't want that! Totally spaced on mentioning them in the video. I made a new video recently with the final patch/updates where I fight this boss armor-less, and in that highlight video I do show the snake statue locations, so if you need it, it's here: th-cam.com/video/dXcnRHVfm7A/w-d-xo.html
I just spent the last 3 hours straight fighting this snake. I had a decent idea of how to beat him but got tired of it. Found this video and beat him after a few tries. Thank you.
I've already beaten this boss, but youtube showed me this and i just wanted to say your thumbnail is super cool. I wish everyone did this. Good on you, friend.
I found this while looking for the soundtrack of the boss fight, and while I've already beaten the boss and don't need a guide, I wanted to give a thumbs up for the spoiler-free thumbnail :D Very nice of you. Spoilers are the worst
I would like to say thank you for the spoiler free thumbnails. Consider this comment my appreciation for being considerate for people like me. Too many times I’ve been spoiled by a thumbnail and spoilers can completely sour a game for me. Even minor spoilers can dampens my anticipation, ironically enough. I just wanna experience go in, everything for the first time and be surprised and amazed, you know? Though I don’t own Nioh 2, I do plan to in the future, and when I encounter these boss, I’ll be sure to watch your guide videos just to say thanks. I would also subscribe as thanks to but I’ve been subscribed since the original Nioh days!
Thanks mate. I know YT will still be the hub for spoilery thumbnails since it's all about the clickbait wars with most TH-camrs, but I'm going to keep the spoiler free thumbnails going. Even if I lose some views that's okay, I'd rather not be that guy. I also want anyone who subs to know they'll be safe with what they see from me in their feeds. Thanks for noticing and dropping some appreciation.
Oh, since you haven't played Nioh 2 yet I should point out the character in the thumbnail is my custom designed character. The character creator in this game is awesome, and by having spoiler free thumbnails I get to show off the character I took hours to make :D
Wish this was the first guide i watched The other guides have the same basic strategy But this really helped: 1. Insist on odachi 2. How to avoid the "charge" attack properly 3. Burst counter in dark realm.
Those are excellent tip and advice: I'm starting Dream of the Demon (ng2+), and it felt like I never played this game before. The strategy is perfect and the overhead attack definitely works, although I did it with splitstaff. Thanks!
Hey there, just recently bought the game on Steam after finishing Nioh 1 months ago, and this guide really helped me out alot. Currently finished all the "Crusher" titles for the first area, and this video really helped alot for this specific boss, though I had to repeat many times as the boss manages to hit me with those random punches and that one grab move that pulls you towards it.
I totally missed the beginning where you mention to use a long sword. However thanks to the rest of info provided in this video I finally beat the boss after days of frustration and pulling my hair out. Thanks for very instructive and helpful video!
thanks for the guide man, Spent hours to defeat this snake but always failed. After I see your guide finally I defeated it. Still died a few times because I was very nervous though. Thumbs up from me. Cheers!
Thank you for the guide! Died like 30 times to it then finally I somehow got it low enough before it left the first yokai realm and it gave me 2 triangle executions in a row.
1. When charging it will follow you 2. The needles it sprays also follow you 3. There are 2 different arm attacks, the regular one and a quick one when it crosses its arms. These 3 things are a must to pay attention to. Other than that, good vid.
Great vid- I didnt have an odachi but can confirm it works with a high stance glaive although getting the positioning in the armpits takes a bit of work. Thanks mate
Yeah the glaive takes some good timing. Kind of a fan of the glaive tbh. Switching between low and high stance for fast and big womping attacks is pretty cool.
This is the best & most comprehensive guide that we actually helpful. Most guys just tell you stuff you adjust know. Like take it does it don't use all your Ki or something else like that which is not helpful. I was just up to this fight so perfect timing on your part for me to ethos pop up in the home page. I am also an Aussie so it's great to find a fellow gamer who is helpful, loves the game & being from the same country is like the cherry on top. I also like to watch Fighting Cowbiy play live ad he is excellent at this game. I mean he is on news game plus. The trouble is he makes it look too easy which cannot be helpful sometimes as it makes me feel like I am hopeless. Anyway I know I crapped on & you probably didn't want to hear about another youtuber but I was saying I liked your guide as it s sort in depth and actually the most helpful guide I have seen so far on anything in the game. I actually restarted to use the axe but swapped to Odachi (I love it) so this guide is even more prefect. Thank you thank you thank you. Great job. Most helpful. Sincerely!
Thanks mate! Yep, Odachi is pretty good in Nioh 2. I'm pretty much running a Ninja build early game and I'm not perked for Odachi at all, but I keep using it. I'll be looking at making a proper Odachi build later I think, though it does plenty of damage on its own anyway. Not sure yet, still just wandering around checking out the scenery lol.
I may have to rethink my dislike for odachis. I pulled a random blue odachi out of my inventory and managed to beat this thing in just a few tries after literally hours of failed attempts with my beloved kusarigama. Anyhow, thanks for the guide. This thing was brutal.
Odachi's are pretty good, my second favorite weapon in Nioh 2. Tonfa is definitely my favorite though. If you a haven't checked my Relentless Tonfa build you might want to. It's not good for early game though, it's an NG+ build just to let you know.
I been trying to beat him I'm on my own nevertheless I spent 2 days at it with no success I remembered using your Sekiro Strategy guide with awesome results so I'm gonna apply your technique to vanquish this SERPENT BOSS ....CHEERS
Yo man just beat the damn thing cuz of you. I started at 10pm and i beat him at 3am. Man this was the hardest boss i have ever fought. And i finished the soulsborne games
Yatsu's a very hard boss early game, very hard. Later as you level up and gear up it becomes maybe one of the easiest. Glad to hear I helped out though, thanks for the comment!
@@cmoneytheman i already beaten the soulsborne series and the first nioh. This one was just frustrating, i gave up and just re sell it. Its too much for me
@@cmoneytheman i dont know why man but the second game wasnt just for me man. I liked the og nioh cuz of the fast gameplay but nioh 2 just got alot hard and i dont know why.
@@ssj4galactus u mean cause it's so fast play other games like the offbrands salt this one but the 1st vein and other games like gravity rush all reflex heavy they all train u to be good at dodging this series is the hardest cause its the fastest it took me some time to get used to the first one cause it was so fast compared to the other soul types and it's always good to level 10 levels higher to do more damage and take more hits
amazing guide! to bad Im not this good and my heart rate pumps up when I get close to defeating bosses just got the game few days ago I will give this method a try tomorrow well done and nice guide!
Thank you so much. Took me ages to beat it even after watching your videos. Holy shit, what a tough boss. I wonder how many people stop playing these games early on because it's so difficult
Axe and Kusarigama in high stance can also be effective. Kusarigama can actually hit all three heads. This damn boss almost made me quit. And the snake women.
I tried this EXACTLY like this and failed 20x I only managed to take off both arms at the same time 2x either the body blocks you or you hit nirvana even If you should. So this guide misses something: what do you do if you take off only 1 arm ? I actually went for this strategy take off one arm burst counter ANY time you can.The boss has a pattern throws the daggers, poison or another move then slides onto you: greet him with a hefty triangle smash for 700ish at the right moment this is nota burst counter move. He will immediately STAGGER back and you can go back to safety...rinse and repeat in phase 2 keep ability when you see little snake CLOSE to you..else use 4,5 shuriken but taking aim off main boss is almost certain death, then exactly follow this guide..bait burst. I just felt I had to add..what to do if you only take off one arm cause that trusty bury go there hit without repercussion is MISSING if one arm is off... cheers. Btw you can parry his slash also safely. you will stagger but the boss does not follow up on it its 100% safe.
Unless I'm missing something, I don't think he took one hit from this boss. Amazing. Not sure how he avoided the tail sweep when he was so close. I can't beat this snake for 3 days.
To avoid the tail sweep you have to time you dodge through. There's a small window of i-frames that make you invulnerable to it if you time it right. It's tricky timing though, best not to be near it really.
I tried to beat that boss with my favourite Kusarigama several times, but it seems to be the wrong kind of weapon for this fight. I will give the Odachi a try as shown in this vid. Problem is that I don´t have a strong Odachi yet so I don´t know if it will work. EDIT: I really made it with the Odachi in second try with no exilirs and about 100 health left. So it was still a tough fight and closer than close.
You don't need to damage the additional heads at all. Because when the boss enters the Dark Realm you have to think about the other heads and how to kill them if you don't have any ninja skills. I know that they are one hit away from death but in that time you could get damaged a lot and maybe even get killed trying to kill the little snakes. Just run away from them and from the boss until it's no longer in the Dark Realm and then repeat the process
The problem is the Boss doesn't do the arm in the ground move in the second phase often. Very hard to counter the move where he comes towards you and swings it's tail. Stuns me every time. What to do?
By 'swings it's tail' are you referring to the grab move that is a real bitch to dodge? To dodge it you have to time it perfectly pretty much. Some soul core attacks completely counter it. The Nurikabe soul core is excellent as it's fast - if you time it well it will smash the snake or its attack will go right through you. Apart from that you have to learn to dodge through it. It's an asshole move - all grab moves are, which is why I like the Nurikabe soul core!
Thank you so much for the guide. I suffered a lot from this boss its so tough to be honest. I was using the dual swords and the reaper scythe. After I cut off 1 arm of the snake it becomes kinda hard, after it hits with it tail I hit it about 3 times then it grapples me. I have a question pls? How can I change my yokai shift type(from feral to brute to that purple one)?
You can change your Guardian Spirit while at a shrine. Just remember you only get access to different Guardian Spirits as you complete missions, so early in the game you won't have access to many.
@@yugimoto4467 So long as you like the weapons you're using, yeah. I did my whole first playthrough with just the Kusa, putting only points into Dexterity and nothing else. I only switched to different weapons in NG+.
@@fuzzybearbarian yeah, I like the dual swords and that reaper scythe. When I unlock all skills and moves I will try new ones. I have a question pls? It's related to parrying attacks when you are in midstance, I tested it a lot I feel that not all attacks can be parried. Am I wrong?
Oh wow... i died over 40 times before killing him with luck and forgot to break one of the snake statues to remove the poison...made my life a living hell..
@@skullpheonix6 Yep. One statue behind the closest shrine to the boss room, one statue in a cave, and one statue out in the open area near the bridges quite close to the cave where the other one is.
All these tactics videos are useless. You can't do anything in the dark realm at all in this fight, stopping to attack him or little guys for even 1 hit = instant death or eventually you die if you keep avoiding them anyway. Tried this over 100 times you can't cut them off before he summons and once he does that it's impossible. Maybe it's just me but this seems literally unbeatable (obviously I know it's not). Really enjoy(ed) this game, hate that I have to quit because of one dumb boss fight.

If only I've read it earlier. Beat that boss and my keyboard today on PC with no statue broken, it was a nightmare.
I was wondering where they dissapeared off to
After hours of searching and trying, this is the only guide that helped. Thanks!!
Awesome, glad to have helped!
Yes I agree. This snake boss is a real pain
so true
I just spent the last 3 hours straight fighting this snake. I had a decent idea of how to beat him but got tired of it. Found this video and beat him after a few tries. Thank you.

thanks i just finished it a few minutes ago ,beating this shit after a hundred of time dying stupidly is definitely amazing, this video worths a sub!
As usual the most extensive, concise, and elaborate boss guide available on TH-cam!!!
Cheers!
Wish this was the first guide i watched
The other guides have the same basic strategy
But this really helped:
1. Insist on odachi
2. How to avoid the "charge" attack properly
3. Burst counter in dark realm.
I am a massive fan of your guides ! I took so much trouble to kill him you made it look easy
Thanks, but don't feel bad, Yatsu's a very hard boss this early on!
after hours of trying, after watching your video i did it in the first try! thanks !!
Brilliant!
I just want to say that a year later, after quitting Nioh 2 because of this boss, your method helped me defeat him in 3 tries. Thank you so much!!
Brilliant!
Awesome guide! I was struggling hard with this boss and literally watched your video once and beat him immediately after. Well done!
Excellent, cheers!
Those are excellent tip and advice: I'm starting Dream of the Demon (ng2+), and it felt like I never played this game before. The strategy is perfect and the overhead attack definitely works, although I did it with splitstaff. Thanks!
Yep, I only recently re-did it with a sword, and before that watched my other half do the same strat with a kusa.

After 10 straight hours trying i sew this and it only toke me 2 times thanks alot !!
Excellent!
10? Damn man, only 9 deaths on mine. Like 45 minutes.
1. When charging it will follow you
2. The needles it sprays also follow you
3. There are 2 different arm attacks, the regular one and a quick one when it crosses its arms.
These 3 things are a must to pay attention to. Other than that, good vid.

Thank you so much. Took me ages to beat it even after watching your videos. Holy shit, what a tough boss. I wonder how many people stop playing these games early on because it's so difficult
I'm guessing a very high percentage, especially when they get to a certain boss soon after this one. Holy hell.
I just spammed water blade :/
Also still by far hardest boss despite being so early.
Axe and Kusarigama in high stance can also be effective. Kusarigama can actually hit all three heads. This damn boss almost made me quit. And the snake women.
I summoned two guys and we all transformed and absolutely wrecked the boss
I tried this EXACTLY like this and failed 20x I only managed to take off both arms at the same time 2x either the body blocks you or you hit nirvana even If you should. So this guide misses something:
what do you do if you take off only 1 arm ? I actually went for this strategy take off one arm burst counter ANY time you can.The boss has a pattern throws the daggers, poison or another move

Fuzzy Bearbarian Thanks...finally got him tonight!!!! Will keep your channel handy for future bosses and subscribe.
You absolute legend!!!
Cheers!
I tried to beat that boss with my favourite Kusarigama several times, but it seems to be the wrong kind of weapon for this fight. I will give the Odachi a try as shown in this vid. Problem is that I don´t have a strong Odachi yet so I don´t know if it will work.
EDIT: I really made it with the Odachi in second try with no exilirs and about 100 health left. So it was still a tough fight and closer than close.
Its a bit wierd that the grapple barely does more damage than the regular heavy attack...
I still died to this thing because I keep missing
Anyone else watching these after they beat the boss?
Must be doing something wrong I am following the guide but he still kills me. Maybe my character is too low level, Is there something he is weak to ?
You don't need to damage the additional heads at all. Because when the boss enters the Dark Realm you have to think about the other heads and how to kill them if you don't have any ninja skills. I know that they are one hit away from death but in that time you could get damaged a lot and maybe even get killed trying to kill the little snakes. Just run away from them and from the boss until it's no longer in the Dark Realm and then repeat the process
This is actually impos
Big sword my 2.weapon... I think my chances grows... Before il try tonfas and failed
Everything is great until the snakes arms move around the place by their own and try to attack me...why in your case that didn't happen at all???
Destroy the arms before she goes into her phase to drop them. I show and fully explain how in the video.
About to fight this bitch... hope it’s a one and done like Mezuki and Enenra 🤞
The problem is the Boss doesn't do the arm in the ground move in the second phase often. Very hard to counter the move where he comes towards you and swings it's tail. Stuns me every time. What to do?
By 'swings it's tail' are you referring to the grab move that is a real bitch to dodge? To dodge it you have to time it perfectly pretty much. Some soul core attacks completely counter it. The Nurikabe soul core is excellent as it's fast - if you time it well it will smash the snake or its attack will go right through you. Apart from that you have to learn to dodge through it. It's an asshole move - all grab moves are, which is why I like the Nurikabe soul core!
@@fuzzybearbarian Oh, thank you. Will try that.
The Nurikabe wall smash on it is great and fun as hell. I did it a few times after posting my last comment to you. My favorite soul core by far.
Thank you so much for the guide. I suffered a lot from this boss its so tough to be honest. I was using the dual swords and the reaper scythe. After I cut off 1 arm of the snake it becomes kinda hard, after it hits with it tail I hit it about 3 times then it grapples me. I have a question pls? How can I change my yokai shift type(from feral to brute to that purple one)?
You can change your Guardian Spirit while at a shrine. Just remember you only get access to different Guardian Spirits as you complete missions, so early in the game you won't have access to many.
@@fuzzybearbarian thank you so much sir, I appreciate your help
Sir I have another question, is it good idea to stick with just 2 weapons until I unlock all skills and moves with those 2?
@@yugimoto4467 So long as you like the weapons you're using, yeah. I did my whole first playthrough with just the Kusa, putting only points into Dexterity and nothing else. I only switched to different weapons in NG+.
@@fuzzybearbarian yeah, I like the dual swords and that reaper scythe. When I unlock all skills and moves I will try new ones. I have a question pls? It's related to parrying attacks when you are in midstance, I tested it a lot I feel that not all attacks can be parried. Am I wrong?
Thx is work
Sir please, may I know the name of you're armor set??
It's shown right at the start - Fuma Ninja set. I've just customized the look using the refashion tool at the Blacksmith.
Oh wow... i died over 40 times before killing him with luck and forgot to break one of the snake statues to remove the poison...made my life a living hell..
Oh shit, you just reminded me I completely forgot to mention the snake statues! I'm an idiot!
Wait you can destroy the statues to remove the poison in the boss area?
@@skullpheonix6 yeah theres 3 snake statues
@@skullpheonix6 Yep. One statue behind the closest shrine to the boss room, one statue in a cave, and one statue out in the open area near the bridges quite close to the cave where the other one is.
i cam here for the other snake :(
So many snakes to worry about. Almost as many as spiders. There's ALWAYS spiders.
Can I use switchglaive
Yep. But don't follow my video or you'll die.
All these tactics videos are useless. You can't do anything in the dark realm at all in this fight, stopping to attack him or little guys for even 1 hit = instant death or eventually you die if you keep avoiding them anyway. Tried this over 100 times you can't cut them off before he summons and once he does that it's impossible. Maybe it's just me but this seems literally unbeatable (obviously I know it's not). Really enjoy(ed) this game, hate that I have to quit because of one dumb boss fight.
I hate the music in this game lol
Some of it is repetitive and grating, but man, some of it is sooo good though.
awful guide mate, you''re approaching this as if it was dark souls, stop trying to teach people to play like this, this is not how you play this game
