Strategy 1 (Melee)

Key tips

• Light the 3 warding bonfires in the mission. Otherwise, 3 bottom Umi-Bozu volition spawn, repeatedly, during the fight.
• The boss is very weak to fire, use  talismans or burn down magic. You tin can also use the bonfires to enchant your weapon with fire, merely information technology is ot recommended, as it makes bottom umi-bozu spawn . Y'all want to use a weapon and stance combination that allows quick attacks, taking advantage of the fire buffing you have. Dual Swords are good, depression stance is good as well
• Blocking is useless here

Kickoff phase tips

• Fifty-fifty if the tentacles receive more harm, information technology is easier to stay shut to the boss, and hit his torso instead. This saves y'all from giving your back to the dominate, which gets you killed easier, and from moving towards the tentacle, which makes you lose time
• When he does his double tentacle slam, stay in front end and it wont hit you lot. This gives a huge opportunity to hit him, and so use your biggest dps move here.
• Umi-Bozu attacks every few seconds. In the start stage, get used to the timing, and dodge 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 phase. When Umi-Bozu jumps into the middle of the area, apply the familiar strategy of dodge and attack after information technology misses.
• Staying far away can brand dodging his melee assail harder, and can make you autumn into the sea.

Strategy ii (Hykotto Masks)

The easiest way to defeat Umi-Bozu is to use Hyottoko Masks. A single mask if used simply after his beam assail in the kickoff phase or after he jumps and exposes his core in the 2nd stage can hit him multiple times for a huge amount of fire harm. Five to vi well-aimed masks can apace stop the battle.

Strategy 3 (Magic)

If you are using a Omnyo magic based build y'all have many tools that can greatly cripple him. Water Finish Talisman reduces harm from most of his attacks and tin can fifty-fifty salve you from his normally fatal water beam. Bandage Weakness Talisman as shortly as he moves to one side, and bandage Fire Talisman I on a Raikiri and a Carnage Talisman on low stance to speedily lower his hp, and cast a fire on him. Anytime he exposes his core use Guardian Spirit Talisman: I , (it takes 4-v Guardian spirit Talismans to kill him). This works well if you have 25 spirit forth with at least twenty magic, and the Kato Guardian spirit.

Yokai Lore & History

海坊主: Umibozu - "Sea Monk". These Yokai of Japanese Folklore are depicted as extremely large, black humanoid creatures that appear in the oceans, frequently only showing their heads and shoulders. Larger than ships and much beyond, they appear on otherwise calm seas, during the nighttime, to destroy ships. Stories say they may be the spirits of drowned monks, and are oft angered if spoken to. Other stories say they are simply creatures of the deep seas. Information technology is said that upon appearing they would ask a ship's crew for a barrel, and if provided 1 would use the butt to bucket water onto the send until information technology sank and the crew with it, killing, or leaving the coiffure stranded at sea. For this reason, a bottomless butt should be provided instead.
