just started nioh and got raped by the first boat boss
| Just keep trying you'll get it eventually. Learn how to ki pulse.
| Nice boat
| there is a tactic in beating him and you don't have to strafe constantly to dodge his hits
unlike dark souls blocking is viable here and you don't have to dodge around the entire game also don't wear all the heavy armor you find sometimes going in light for that stamina regen is way better than the protection you get from the armor
stick to his belly at first phase and learn to read his swipe and heavy attack pattern and block or dodge those
| then at the second stage just pop your spirit up and melt him easily or just keep your distance and dodge the stones and land hits when he is downed after doing his belly smash thing
niohs bosses are all about being smart and utilizing tactics until you unlock that slow curse and cheese through everything like a little baby with clutches and feel bad about it
ALSO TONFA IS FUN AS FUCK EVEN IF ITS NOT THE MOST OP LIKE ODACHI THE BABIES FIRST WEAPON FOR NIOH
| Nioh feels easier because of that spirit attack

I found blocking to be unviable in my experience compared to Dark Souls where I could tank pretty much anything with a shield, dodging and KI pulsing is much easier, especially if you use a long distance weapon, like a spear.

| Im finding it harder than dark souls as i have died to this first boat boss mroe times than any dark souls 3 boss when i first played that. I guess it might be because theres like no i frames and you cant strafe constantly
