Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Boss Guide – How To Defeat The Dragon

How To Defeat The Dragon:

Location: Fountainhead Palace.

Strategy:

Phase 1 is all about taking down weaker enemies using the tree branches. Just simply grapple to one of the trees and do a deathblow on the enemies. Rinse and repeat and kill all the enemies.            

Once you are done, the main boss will show up and this is where phase 2 begins. The boss has just one life bar and has a few attack patterns that can be memorized. The boss will do a slam attack which can be blocked or dodged. It does a powerful sweeping attack which can be quite deadly. Simply jump at the right moment to avoid it.

In this phase, use the nearby trees so that you will be lifted in the air. This is when you need to attack the dragon with the lightning attack (press the attack button to do so). In phase 3, the player will need to survive by blocking, dodging and running until the trees appears so that you can attack with the lightning attack once again like you did in phase 2. Soon, the boss will be out cold and you simply need to approach the boss and deliver the final blow.

Rewards: Memory: Dragon, Dragon’s Tears.
