To clarify, DO NOT SPARE THE RED DEMON, KILL HIM, THEN GO BACK AND LET HIM LIVE. you'll get the style with his death but you cannot level it up until later when you complete "the watchman" quest and meet the blue demon
@@nmxosa i think you have to use the testament of souls at the longhouse, retry the mission ,then spare him n then it should give you the option to change the timeline
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 😂 yea that one doesn’t sell gifts, but I’ve been able to buy gifts at the gambling den, Sakura inn and the other special vendors where the shogunate base is. Gambling den has the most gifts but gotta use tokens
Wellbits optimal to have a stance fir each weapon type. Shinobu will always be "ineffective" but it's like that to balance out it's parry heavy gameplay.
I spared Ii the first time and immediately went back to kill him just to get the style. Didn't have it reflect the current timeline so I could still upgrade it later, I think. Here's hoping..
Famously. Still have the style after doing so. I was offput by the fact that Ii was still considered dead when I was in the dojo, but I checked the encyclopedia deal and remembered death was his fate either way 😅 Timeline still matches up, so I'll be able to upgrade.
For some characters you have to train with them in a dojo, and receive the rank of novice or higher, in addition to ranking up their bond. Maybe it's the same with him?
You left so many loops in this guide this is a really bad guide dawg I got y’all tho You can’t do the quest till you level 44 and get back from Kyoto, after you do the mission spar with him first in the ninja dojo then he will show up, he won’t immediately be on the roof🤦🏾♂️
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 yea but sometimes I can’t grab them, they either recover their stance and block the 3rd hit and uppercut or they are too far away thay even my uppercut land on them but didn’t grab.
It's kinda late, but the best way for me to do it is to weight until their really low in Ki, and do the spin before they enter stagger state and it the spin will pull break their Ki and you gotta press the skill again and you'll land it
@@crimsoncenturian5625 they just have to be panicked or 0 ki, panicked is when their health bar is glowing red, panic lasts longer if you counterspark with the correct style or a ninja style
Is it possible that Gikei Ryu is underpowered? The parry is very hard to time and uses a lot of stamina as punishment. Also it has a red arrow against every stance(meaning its weak to all stances). And over all damage is low due to that too. And this is at master level. Im honestly very disappointed because I thought it would be the best(and it looks awesome).😢
I spared the red demon, after that saved the timeline and I went straight to Edo, did I make a mistake? I don’t see the watchman mission. Edit: nvm I got it. Watchman mission unlocks after you get sent back to Edo in the story. I think you explained but I didn’t understand. Also: for anyone looking for the blue demon after he’s an ally he’s at the ninja villa dojo but you have to go through a hole in the roof of the dojo to find him
i didnt read comments first lol and spared him first which is what was said to do first and the comments say kill him first so i assume im boned on getting the fighting style 😂 until the end of the game
You have to find him at the sawamura dojo, if you go in the dojo he'll be in an upstairs section and you can talk to him and get him as a companion and train with him
So my okay, on my play through I didn’t spare him, but I went back and spared him, made it so my time line reflected it, but I can’t replay “the watchman mission” am I doing something wrong or maybe just screwed and have to play the whole game over again?
@@jfrazier6871so i spared him first. So you saying go back n kill him, do i than have to go back n spare him again because that will shift the story back to original sparing him?

When I kill him and go back the mission just ends how do I change the timeline?
@@nmxosa i think you have to use the testament of souls at the longhouse, retry the mission ,then spare him n then it should give you the option to change the timeline
@@mrking8549 I did that but the mission just ends once I have retried no option to even spare
@nmxosa I don't get the mission after I forgive him either
It’s like no one knows how to do it why does it work for some and not for others
Ur a real one for a explaining that
In the first 57 seconds
Tip: in chapter 3 you’ll be returning to Edo…that’s when the Watchman mission appears continue story till you go back to Edo
@@afRolowkey so u have to beat chapter 2 before u get the watchman mission?
Well I done everything but the blue demon never showed up and i can’t do the mission again….
Talk to the ninja dude in the dojo spar someone then he will appear
@@SW3RVE999 No, he doesn't appear after you spar at the dojo
Gifts are also sold in the gambling den and most of the other special vendors except the apotachy* or however it’s spelt.
Apothecary? :o
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 😂 yea that one doesn’t sell gifts, but I’ve been able to buy gifts at the gambling den, Sakura inn and the other special vendors where the shogunate base is. Gambling den has the most gifts but gotta use tokens
It doesn’t give u that option once u go back to spare the red demon
Can’t change the timeline if your playing with others players, has to be solo
You videos are wicked.... Thank you very much..
Excellent! Thanks a lot my brother!
So u saying I have to continue doing the main mission until I get the mission where i have to choose which side then the watchman will be available?
Dude thank you for this ive been scratching my head for awhile trying to figure out how to get this style at master
He is not in the area you told us to go to, so I don’t know what to do
the side mission doesn’t pop up for me
This style is OP in game.
You can also get the red demon mask from a public order rescue
What is that body slam move called ?!
So which style is better blue demon or hyabusa master level
Imo the blue demon because of the shadow clone attack
Blue demon if you like creating space between you and your opponent, hyabusa if you rather be up close
@@DaNBH1995 you can also use the clone skill with the hayabusa style and imo there is nothing better than
i spared naoskue and blue demon but i didnt get the combat style
This is the best style. However you unlock it at the end of the game and that is really a shame because there is not so much to do last EDO map
What veild art does everyone use for this katana style. Or what is optimal
Wellbits optimal to have a stance fir each weapon type.
Shinobu will always be "ineffective" but it's like that to balance out it's parry heavy gameplay.
I spared Ii the first time and immediately went back to kill him just to get the style. Didn't have it reflect the current timeline so I could still upgrade it later, I think. Here's hoping..
Did that work?

What do you do if u completed the watchman quest if the blue demon isn't there
Can someone please help I’ve spared and killed li and done the watchmen mission and blue demon still won’t show
That's to me what I need to do ?
I’ve got him to 2nd bond level but there is a padlock next to gikei-ryu master any idea how to unlock it?
For some characters you have to train with them in a dojo, and receive the rank of novice or higher, in addition to ranking up their bond. Maybe it's the same with him?
So is killing the blue demon normal in the mission or have I completely messed it up
Thanks this helped 😅

How’d you get the blue demon medicine case? I got the whole gear and him as a friend, but no medicine case?
@@ninjamasterflex you have to beat him on the black boat
Do you know how to consistenly grab the izuna drop when doing R1 + X of hayabusa style on katana/polearm
I just hold R1 + X after the spin starts, release X then spam X while holding R1 usually works for me.
They must be dazed first. Flashing red or in their triangle move state.

And over all damage is low due to that too.
And this is at master level.
Im honestly very disappointed because I thought it would be the best(and it looks awesome).😢
Shinobi styles are weak to everything and have a very small parry window but do lots of ki damage
There is a way to get the Blue Version? I keep getting the armor with red Color 🤔
Iam even more confused
I hope this game gets new game plus soon
Midnight = NG+ in this game.
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 SERIOUSLY? LET’S GO!!!!!

You can redo the fight whenever you want from the testament of the soul
bit confused already got him ally but after finish the watchmen only talked to him both ways but nothing pops up go train with him
You have to find him at the sawamura dojo, if you go in the dojo he'll be in an upstairs section and you can talk to him and get him as a companion and train with him
How do I get the wild fire and the other mission
It wouldn’t let me spare
So my okay, on my play through I didn’t spare him, but I went back and spared him, made it so my time line reflected it, but I can’t replay “the watchman mission” am I doing something wrong or maybe just screwed and have to play the whole game over again?
So you did the watchman mission before you spared Naosuke?
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 I believe so cause he wasn’t there. And it’s not showing up and a ronin mission or bond mission
@@Stinkibear6 Did you check the Ninja Villa? You can also try loading a save file that you haven't completed the mission on
wait a min i did this watcher mission last night without realizing it. but i didnt see no one to talk to. i wonder if he’s still there😅😅
Do you mean chapter 3?
You a opp fr u didnt say my boy will die if i do this
I spared the red demon and I never got the fighting style
Progress the story till chapter 3. He explained it
Kill him, then go back and let him live so you can level it once you meet the blue demon
@@jfrazier6871so i spared him first. So you saying go back n kill him, do i than have to go back n spare him again because that will shift the story back to original sparing him?
@@Lightskinman yes
@@jfrazier6871 i killed him, I didnt get it?
What armor is that
It's the Shinobi armor
I killed li first chance I got and got the style
Get out of midnight do it in the difficulty you bet the game in
Do you know a location where I can get xp fast to level up in post game
keep doing co-op
Do u play monster hunter
Yes! Not at the moment but I started Monster Hunter since the PSP days
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 cool mate
i can’t challenge him
Worst explanation need to keep simple
The game is fun, but...
It's a shame that the female characters' outfits are rarely sexy and pretty.
Socially inept comment

Go outside, bruh 💀
