Strategy one (Melee)

Fundamental tips

• Light the iii warding bonfires in the mission. Otherwise, 3 lesser Umi-Bozu will spawn, repeatedly, during the fight.
• The boss is very weak to fire, use  talismans or burn magic. You tin besides use the bonfires to enchant your weapon with fire, but it is ot recommended, as it makes bottom umi-bozu spawn . Y'all want to apply a weapon and stance combination that allows quick attacks, taking reward of the burn buffing you have. Dual Swords are good, low stance is good equally well
• Blocking is useless here

First phase tips

• Even if the tentacles receive more damage, information technology is easier to stay close to the boss, and striking his body instead. This saves you from giving your back to the boss, which gets y'all killed easier, and from moving towards the tentacle, which makes you lose fourth dimension
• When he does his double tentacle slam, stay in front and it wont hit you lot. This gives a huge opportunity to hit him, so use your biggest dps move here.
• Umi-Bozu attacks every few seconds. In the first phase, get used to the timing, and contrivance to the side when he raises a tentacle or twitches.
• Sometimes he uses his beam just after spitting at you

Second phase tips

• Conserve your Guardian Spirit until the final stage. When Umi-Bozu jumps into the center of the area, utilise the familiar strategy of dodge and set on after it misses.
• Staying far away tin make dodging his melee attack harder, and can brand you fall into the body of water.

Strategy 2 (Hykotto Masks)

The easiest way to defeat Umi-Bozu is to use Hyottoko Masks. A unmarried mask if used simply subsequently his beam attack in the offset phase or after he jumps and exposes his cadre in the 2d stage can hit him multiple times for a huge amount of fire damage. Five to six well-aimed masks tin quickly end the battle.

Strategy 3 (Magic)

If y'all are using a Omnyo magic based build you accept many tools that tin profoundly cripple him. Water Stop Talisman reduces impairment from most of his attacks and tin can even save you from his normally fatal water beam. Cast Weakness Talisman as before long equally he moves to one side, and cast Fire Talisman I on a Raikiri and a Carnage Talisman on low stance to apace lower his hp, and cast a burn on him. Anytime he exposes his core utilise Guardian Spirit Talisman: I , (it takes 4-v Guardian spirit Talismans to impale him). This works well if you have 25 spirit along with at least xx magic, and the Kato Guardian spirit.
