While Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess may feel like a complete experience by𒅌 the time you defeat Nanamagari, another cycle awaits. One with subtle changes that don't start to appear until you've almost completed the cycle once again.

This time, it is broken, and defeating Nanamagari doesn't end the tale. With their defeat, 𝔍the defilement pours forth into a final, powerful manifestation. This Ominous Presence is what must be cleansed for the world to truly be healed, and it can be an insurmountably difficult challenge.

Recommended Set-Up For Soh And The Villagers

Villager Set-Up

Being the true final encounter of the entire game, you don't want to skimp on this final loadout. You'll want your Villager not just in their most powerful Roles, but the ones you feel you have the greatest understanding of. Otherwise, they'll be swatted down like flies before they have a chance to d༺o anything of useꦐ.

To save you some time, we recommend setting up your Villagers before entering the shrine, as 🃏otherwise, you will have to set up all 12 Villagers every time Yoshiro is defeated.

There is plenty of nuance to the exact layout you may choose to use, but this is our recommendation based on what we beat the final boss with which gave us some healthy breathing room.

• One Woodcutter, and One Spearman to handle Ominous Presence up close.
• One Archer, one Marksman, and one Cannoneer to fire on Ominous Presence at range.
• One Ascetic to slow them down if they come too close to Yoshiro, and one Sumo Wrestler to draw some of the aggro away.
• Four Sorcerers to quickly charge their ability.
• One Ninja to battle Ominous Presence with you away from Yoshiro.

While Soh is standing, Ominous Presence will always focus on them first and foremost. As a result, your Villagers should be serving two purposes - either as a protective shield for Yoshiro in case Soh is put into the Spirit State, or doubling up the damage that Soh is dealing.

You'll want to command your Villagers to attack Ominous Presence at most times to maximise the damage you're dealing. If Soh should fall, you should issue the Villagers a Defense order as Ominous P🍨resence will pursue Yoshiro no matter wꦡhat stands in their way.

You can use fixed position on certain units, like the Sorcerers or a Shaman if you have one so that they 𒉰aren't put in harm's way unnecessarily🧸.

A Ninja or two can be very helpful as they will follow Ominous ওPresence no matter where they are, offering some extra damage if you want to leave your other Villagers ba🔴ck to heal

Soh Set-Up

Fighting Soh's own cursed reflection of the previous cycle, strengthened through defilement is a daunting task. They prove a significant difficulty jump from any other battle in the game. They are the u༒ltimate challenge Kunitsu-Gami has to offer, and you'll need to bring precision to win.

Considering this is the final boss of New Game Plus, we're preparing this list under the assumption that you will have access to most items and upgrades. If you're missing an item, you can 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:check out our guide.

Having all other combat abilities such as Counterattack, Punishing Strike, etc. is expected at this pဣoint as they wi💙ll prove indispensable during the fight.

The Villagers act more as a distraction during this boss battle so their extra damage isn't really necessary as much as their actual presence is. Soh will be dealing the majority of the damage here.

Both Dance Styles are effective against Cursed Soh, though Shiden Dance has always been useful against single-target enemies, and this battle is no different. Cur🔜sed Soh summons no other Seethe to assist them, so it will always be a one-on-one encounter.

Every Mazo Talisman is focused on making Soh as fast and deadly as possible. Cursed Soh has much the same capabilities as regular Soh so you should know what to expect from them. In that same sense, you will want to be faster and hit h﷽arder꧃ than they can. Anything less will lead to a swift defeat.

Tsuba Guards here are more utility. While there are many other Tsuba Guards that deal high damage and Resist Gauge depletion, Cursed Soh is most of the time simply too fast to be hit by them. Byakko's Claws and Taion's Lightning are immensely powerful but liable to miss. Genbu's Might is a safer bet for the area of effect.

After this, it comes down to learning Cursed Soh's own moves as it does knowing Soh's own. It will⛄ requ♊ire a lot of skill, but you can persevere.

How To Beat Ominous Presence

It is no exaggeration to say that Ominous Presence is a reflection of Soh. They are quite literally them, defiled from the previous cycle. Cursed Soh is Soh, but empowered by a cycle's worth of defilement. They are just as strong as Soh, and it's only with the help of the Villagers that you will emerge victorious.

Cursed Soh's Moveset

Due to Cursed Soh being a corrupted mirror image of the real Soh, much of their moveset is the same. In fact, it is almost identical in all regards except for some degrees of functionalit𒅌y in Tsuba Guards. Before you even battle Cursed Soh, you will have a good idea of their moveset.

Nevertheless, we'll give you a brief rundown of some of their more stand-out moves and how they're different from the real Soh's.

In most regards, Cursed Soh is identical to real Soh. If you know Soh's own abilities, then you'll already have a headstart on Cursed Soh's. The largest difference comes in the usage of the Tsuba Guards and archery, where Cursed Soh gets a massive power boost.

When Cursed Soh summons a duplicate with Kijin's Specter, they will act independently of their summoner. However, defeating them will also instantly deplete Cursed Soh's Resist Gauge.

Facing Cursed Soh, you finally know what the Seethe had to face. They are an immense challenge and one that you won't beat easily. Take the time to learn their moves and how they differ from Soh's and you'll claw a victory from the🌟 defilement eventually.

Tips To Beat Cursed Soh

Cursed Soh is difficult, but they are also predictable. They have the same moves as Soh, and those moves have☂ many of the same effects as well.

Cursed Soh also goes through some smaller phase shifts thr꧃oughout the battle, each signified by them using Tenku's Wings to reposition before jumping into the air for a short animation.

• Their default phase.
• They gain access to the bow.
• They start using even stronger archery abilities.
• They enter their final phase, using Kochin's Ward, Kijin's Specter, and other offensive Tsuba Guards.

Guarding against Cursed Soh's attacks is a death sentence if you can't successively pull off either a Perfect Guard or Counterattack. As soon as your Guard Gauge is emptied, they will unleash a Punishing Strike and start walking towards Yoshiro. If you feel your guard gauge is about to be depleted, it's better to take the hit instead.

The Sorcerers are your major backup here. Not only will their ability deal significant damage, but it will also deplete Cursed Soh's Resist Gauge by about half. This can be very helpful if their gauge is already low, but can be an essential backup move if Soh is in the Spirit State🤪 and Cursed Soh needs to be halte༺d.

Every time Cursed Soh's resist gauge is depleted, they will perform Tenku's Wings and change their equipped Tsuba Guard. This occurs regardless of whether you perform a Punishing Strike o💎r not.

A small cheat you can perform is to enter photo mode and zoom in on Cursed Soh's sword. The Tsuba Guard they have equipped on their sword is the one th🌞ey will currently have access to. The floating Tsuba Guards behind Cursed Soh will also highlight what they currently have equipped.

Once their HP is below half, Cursed Soh will begin utilising every Tusba Guard, but primarily Kijin's Specter and Kochin's Ward. A powerful counter to their Kochin's ward is your own. If you cast your barrier right in front of theirs, the passive damage will cause Cursed Soh's to collapse in seconds, while they still take damage against your own.

Since the Villagers serve as effective cannon fodder in this battle, it's important to keep them topped up. Manually giving them Rations will be more effective as a Shaman will not ܫbe able to heal them in motion.

Once Cursed Soh starts using their bow, it's best to lead your Villagers and Soh away from Yoshiro as arrows fired in their direction may slip through to Yoshiro and deal massive damage.

There is also a Chozusha Basin in this arena, though it can only b✨e u🙈sed once. Make sure to only use it when needed as it is very powerful.

With all of those tips in mind, you should have Cursed Soh laid to rest in short order. Good luck!
