The first phase is in my opinion one of the most difficult in the game but the second is very easy, I only went through it losing 1 life, but the first phase I only went through losing 5 to 6 lives
Total opposite for me lol, first phase was tough, but when I took the bat and studied her pattern as well as spam face smash, that phase goes by fast. As for the second phase, I'm at a loss. By then your weapon is spent, and she keeps mixing the five hit combo up a LOT.
Just picked the game up and dropped it yesterday. 😂 people that have the crazy payed stuff abuse it so it's just not as filing in like half the games.. solid title though.
@@UnbrokenOddshell yea.. that's the draw of this game.. even on the first level you get smacked around by a few fights.. by the time you feel like you're ready to move on (having as young an age as you're cool with.) you've mentally mapped the tightly knit areas and encounters..
I got pass her at age 27. I’ll take that. Surprisingly the 2nd phase was easier to me than the 1st, after watching your videos and learning the techniques.
Awesome way to go! I find her second phase is easier to guess what she's going to do, the first phase its just so fast if you're close that it's hard not to panic since she can do so much damage so fast
I kinda feel like it's more that with Sean and Fajar you can pretty much get in their faces and expect to thrive there; with Kuroki it's like diving headfirst into a meatgrinder, you gotta play patient/distance game and that might just take some getting used to after the other two.
Already age 32 when I got to the museum. Fought through the place, lotta guys with weapons, unblockables, and smoke and mirrors... finally got to the boss and the spamming of those ranged attacks.... really sucked the life out of it for me dawg.
Yeah I know how you feel. Sometimes it helps just to stop for a bit and come back to it and suddenly you feel like you're so much faster/better at it. Almost like your brain needs time to absorb and learn the moves haha.
@@UnbrokenOdds yeah that's kinda how it was. I came back and took him out. Also I didn't know you could replay earlier levels, I just did that to help learn the game a little more. Plus unlocking some cheeky moves like leg sweeps helps alot. Now I just trip the bastards whenever I can and do a ground and pound.
You should all Now try the mission again but with the bat, idk why people haven’t used it or uploaded a video about it, but with all weapon upgrades (damage/proficiency) that bat gets through the first phase of this fight twice as fast as the sword and the bat still isn’t broken on the second phase lol
For some reason this fight feels like Isshin Sword Saint from Sekiro the first time. I feel like my control is very unresponsive when trying to counter
@@setajini I agree, the whole game is about being awesome combining avoids and parries to deal some combo damage and then bosses are all like "be patient for 10 minutes and do two hits every now and then"
@@vassili3000I disagree. It’s really embarrassing to say but it truly about skill, mastery, and timing. I felt the same way when I began. But I liked the challenge. Eventually, it has gotten to the point where I could complete the first level and the club without dying once. I’d get as far as this boss without dying. Now I’m currently at a stand still. Overcoming her patterns and fighting style has me stumped.
I hadn’t died at all up until this boss, died 8 times during phase 1 and not once during phase 2. Parrying/dodging so many attacks with being able to deal little to no damage back feels bad. I had no weapon walking into this fight, so it was a rough time.
Isn’t it’s still long and tedious? Like her health goes down so slow with no weapon even if you get no damage, with the bat and damage all the way she was literally at the instakill mark when she has half health in like 2-3 minutes
If you catch her kunai and throw it back at her then after 3-4 hits she get staggered, you can run to her and throw her to the ground, it will give you two hits... Plus use sweep focus for 2 more hits.... Or you can just keep that kunai aur knife and throw it at her when she charges at you to deal good posture damge plus health damage plus stagger..
I really feel like they should have a sword or two in the boss arena with higher durability. That chip damage is killer! Even if I manage to bring one into the arena from outside its usually a few hits from breaking :/ I tried practicing againt her in practice mode, but I gave up. My brain just can't even. 🤷 Maybe I'm getting too old for difficulty at this degree.
Tried this, but I'm playing on master, and she does fake dashes and low sweeps which make this method way harder 😭 Even the rush in phase 1 has extra attacks at the end that throw you off
A good combo I managed to get was when you got one skill bar thing I did the eye poked and combine with leg sweep (I assume the leg sweep would work just as well. Then soon as they got up I did that triple triangle combo where you have to pause for the last button. Which hit em to the floor again so got some good damage from that Thanks so much for the help though for the first phase
I did one where I spare her without ever attacking: th-cam.com/video/Ofpelv-Qb5g/w-d-xo.html If you're holding a weapon you can actually block all her attacks in the first phase and do a lot of structure damage. The 2nd phase you just need to make sure to parry her attacks, a couple of them are easy to guess ahead of time so you can easily do it.
Sure! Either one can work whatever you're. More confortable with. I'm not positive if one lasts longer than the other or does more damage, i just feel like the sword does more damage.
i’ve played a lot of games that can be considered some of the hardest games of all time, but the first phase of this boss just made me drop the game entirely, it’s really not worth it tbh
I may have watched this video over 15 times and just wish the version on PS4 followed these patterns. Most the time she does one attack then spams the rush move back 2 back never doing anything else. Spamming block never works cause its delayed and doesn't react that fast. I may have to restart the level a few times just to get her to do the across the chest move, and not immediately back flipping away back to rush mode. I may post footage soon Second round I can usually beat without dying , its the first wave were if she starts spamming , eventually my system will get hot a freeze just killing me with nearly full health.
I am still in the middle of the game and tbh until now I only have a strategy against Sean. Him I dodge because fuck his parry. idk how I won against the first dude. and her.. first phase somehow and second easy with parry. but thats why i am here currently I am age 68 or so xD still not the best with parry or dodge. I manage the back dodge.. but when it's a sweep
Man the 1st phase is bullshit. In 2nd phase you can kind of chase her non-stop and spam hard attack on her and it breaks her combos. Just keep avoiding the kunais and everything, but you won't have to deal with her combos nor her super double kick.
Second phase is just bad game design. Plain boring. Scenery is cool but this fight is atrocious. All range, can’t get any hits in, takes too long, easy pattern, just annoying and tedious for the sake of annoying and tedious. Fuck this boss
Sorry if it wasnt clear. When you've made it to the boss you should have got an elevator key from one of the enemies along the way. This lets you skip the entire stage right to the boss. So take out the two people at the beginning, take the sword and run to the elevator. With the key you can go in and it will take you straight to the boss.
Yes you have to make it to the top the normal way where you'll face two women in a colored room - defeating them will grant you the elevator key. Using the elevator in The Museum will take you directly to the boss fight. So once you have that item you can restart the stage anytime and go straight to the boss after the first 2 goons
@@SuperGQ21 it’s a good strategy, play it normally and get to the boss that way without missing things to access the shortcuts of course then give up and shortcuts are unlocked. What I’m doing right now
Rather than the middle heigh chest, I was waiting for the one where she was spinning it like an infinity left and right, but instead of parrying like you do at the start, I dodge/avoid to build up focus and then use blade thigh cut, repeat until second phase. Came here trying to find out a less patient way to do it because my thumb and pinky hurts Managed to beat the 2nd phase at 21, but not good enough, but the different with the kick is, I can't tell the difference when she jumps at you and kicks you back over the sweep which both deal a lot of damage, might be a difficulty difference since I play on Master difficulty
I bet her on my second try but went into the tower very unprepared. I like how the game forces you to be perfect more or less in previous locations, to be able to handle the later locations. I didn't think I was improving but I'm at 21 now and feeling alil more comfy. This boss however now is like a brick wall for progression, I cant seem to beat her this time, and last time I wasn't even trying.
this retarded boss kills the mood of the fight so hard in the first phase... its infuriating they decided to this route with it. The second phase is actually fun.
The boss fights in this game are infuriating. Literally clear through the mobs no bother and then the bosses just plain stupid design makes it so frustrating.
Completely false. Whenever i get close to her she attacks me right after she is done attacking. I wait wait and wait for her stupid attacks and when i finally want to punish her she just attacks back.
This particular boss literally ruined da game for me. Turned into a chore instead of a game trying to beat her. Crazy fun but the difficulty and frustration outweighs the fun. Literally the fasted game I've ever deleted
This game fucking sucks. Interesting mechanic, but poorly implemented. I don't want to be running around avoiding a boss in a Kung Fu game. It also doesn't transition you into boss fights properly. Fuck this game. 2/10.
Who decided to make the 1st phase harder than the 2nd
The second phase so so easy, you can just parry everything and you get a flash to tell you when to parry the dash
The first phase is in my opinion one of the most difficult in the game but the second is very easy, I only went through it losing 1 life, but the first phase I only went through losing 5 to 6 lives

btw on the second/third floor if you activate the elevator, you can get to the boss way faster, but at the cost of barely any points

Got the game on sale on xbox been loving it but this boss has been killing me. Thanks for guided.
Thanks ! finally a real simple guide to beat Kukori !
Good advice !
Extremely helpful guide man. FINALLY beat her first phase without dying. Felt cheap but who cares 😂
I really feel like they should have a sword or two in the boss arena with higher durability. That chip damage is killer! Even if I manage to bring one into the arena from outside its usually a few hits from breaking :/
I tried practicing againt her in practice mode, but I gave up. My brain just can't even. 🤷
Maybe I'm getting too old for difficulty at this degree.
Yea this no longer works as she does a massively long swinging combo if you run away.
You can either press the block button really fast with that attack and do a bunch of parries or you can just run away and she'll stop eventually
For that swing combo spam parry. Until she’s done
Tried this, but I'm playing on master, and she does fake dashes and low sweeps which make this method way harder 😭

thanks to you i beat it without any deaths
Thats awesome! Congrats!
haha yeah sure
Her second phase is what pissed me off i would always dodge everything and she would still land the drop kick then throw 30 kunais at me
I can't defeat her I'm 20 at start and I end up being 89 before she's even dead
You can't get to 89.
89 😭???
got pass her on 1 death bro thank you
That's awesome! Glad that it helped!
You can catch her knives if you time it right
this is the guy i go to if my brother isnt home lmao 🤣
Hell yeah😂
block with the sword she just knocks it out my hands?
You have to keep tapping block at a fast past when she comes at you
I’ve just been dodging like mad. I get to the second phase in 1 death but then second phase her charge up quick bois always fuck me up
Thanks for this video! By the way, what the font do you use for the tips?
Interesting how different playstyles equal to some people finding 1st phase and others the 2nd phase harder .. for me it definitely was phase 2 😅
great vid thanks alot
Thank you glad it helped!
Oh, so I was fighting her correctly, its just that the fight really is that slow and lame... Least fun boss in the game for me.
THANK. YOU.
Thank you ❤
I wish you could pick up her original weapon in the 2nd phase that would be cool
2nd stage was extremely intense
Good video
Thank you!
how do you have a sword?
I was 50 when I defeated her. She beat me like 7 times in a row.
Can you do a guide on how to spare her ?
I did one where I spare her without ever attacking: th-cam.com/video/Ofpelv-Qb5g/w-d-xo.html

How did you store the katana?
So if I don't have the sword or bat its probably best just to start the museum mission over?
You definitely cant run away when she does the side spinning attack shell keep chasing you
you can just spam weave left and right and then hit her
How to get to the elevator without he key
The second form is easier than the first one, i can defeat her with no damage !
1st is hardest 2nd phase is easier since shes just aggressive and all but the damage is pretty high
the bat does more structure damage shouldn't you take the bat?
also lasts longer

When I block with the knife he always drops the blade. Any idea why?
