Скачать или смотреть Nioh - Giant Toad Boss Fight Guide (with cutscene)

Like with White Tiger, the Giant Toad boss requires you to stay close, flank and keep up constant pressure. You will have to be a bit more measured in how aggressively you attack since Toad is very good at generating Ki-sapping yokai realm pools. Getting hit or even blocking his attacks will also drain a lot of Ki, so it's best to dash and dodge around him.

You also want to pace your attacks because you need time to get clear of Giant Toad's stomp attack. You need to move away well in advance because the blast radius can still tag you for big health and Ki damage. Zip back in to hit him after the stomp to put him into a short stun.

Giant Toad has 3 phases and I'd say you want to stay as close to him as possible all the way through, with the exception of avoiding those stomps. Staying at mid range will get you chewed up by his spear thrusts, paralyzing gas bombs and exploding shurikens. Hang out at max distance and you risk getting crushed by his leaping stomp.

I stayed in low stance to keep mobility and Ki levels up. He doesn't have the highest health pool, so losing some damage per hit was a fine trade-off for me. Get used to his patterns then methodically pick him apart.
