nioh bosses after loseing less then 4% of there hp

Hey fellow Nioh players! If you're like me, the Jorogumo, that giant spider boss in the 'Spider Nest Castle' mission, probably gave you a serious headache. I remember feeling so frustrated, constantly getting caught in her webs or slammed by her powerful attacks. But after countless tries and a lot of observation, I finally figured out her major weaknesses and developed a super effective strategy that I want to share with all of you. First off, let's talk about her elemental vulnerability: Fire is your best friend here! Seriously, stack up on Fire Talismans, use a weapon with innate fire damage, or even a living weapon with a fire element if you can. Applying the Scorched status effect on her makes a huge difference, not only dealing damage over time but also slowing her down slightly and making her more susceptible to Ki damage. I found that throwing a few bombs or using the Fire Shuriken also helps to build up that elemental status quickly, especially at the start of the fight. Beyond elements, understanding her attack patterns is key. Jorogumo has two main forms: a more humanoid upper half and her massive spider body. In her humanoid form, she'll often use quick swipes and a web-spit attack. My advice? Stay mobile! Dodge into her attacks rather than away from them to get behind her. When she spits webs, try to dodge to the side. If you get caught, quickly cleanse with a Sacred Water or just spam dodge to break free, but try to avoid it as it leaves you very vulnerable. Once she transitions more into her full spider form, her attacks become more sweeping and she'll try to jump on you. This is where having some reach on your weapon, like a Spear or Odachi, can be beneficial, allowing you to hit her legs or even her upper body from a safer distance. Focus on her legs for Ki damage, as breaking her stance opens her up for a powerful grapple attack. Landing those grapple finishers is crucial for dealing massive damage and turning the tide of the fight. My personal strategy involved keeping a medium distance, baiting out her web attacks, and then rushing in to apply fire damage and hit her legs. I always had my Guardian Spirit ready – I found that Fuse-Ushi or Kara-Jishi were great choices for either Ki recovery or additional elemental damage/Ki damage. Don't be afraid to use Ninjutsu or Onmyo Magic for buffs like Steel Talismans for defense or Sloth Talismans to slow her down even further. These can make a seemingly impossible fight much more manageable. Remember to manage your Ki carefully. Don't get greedy with attacks; land a few hits, dodge away, and let your Ki recover. This fight is a marathon, not a sprint, unless you've mastered her weaknesses. With a bit of patience, fire power, and focused Ki damage, you'll see this giant arachnid fall in no time. You got this!
