Corrupt Toshi Guided Boss Fight (Master, No Damage) - Kena Bridge of Spirits

[@gregp716]

Superb tutorial. Was struggling to beat him, then watched this and won first time. Thanks for the video

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Awesome, cheers! 👍

[@frankpan2033]

I see that you created this excellent guide with as few parry recommendations as possible. My management of shield energy was horrible, so I never thought about using shield dash to counter every one of Toshi's melee attacks. Using shield dash is definitely more approachable than trying to learn the parry timing for every one of Toshi's melee attacks. Thank you again for making an enjoyable game even more enjoyable.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

No problem at all, I find it all pretty fun to do. And yep, I really like parrying in this fight because he attacks so much with his sword that parrying can end the fight really fast. But I know the parry window on his attacks is tight so I thought it best not to. I didn't intend to parry at all, but ended up having to at the start of phase 2 because I got a bit greedy with staying near the boss.

[@stacyOyo]

I find the parry timing very confusing compare to sekiro or othergame

[@doraalrashed9499]

Couldn’t have completed the game without you!

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Glad to have helped!

[@nasernaeem9977]

Brooo whatt That dash interrupt made the fight a cake walk, From an absolute hell on master difficulty, Watta legend 🗿 Thank you 🙏

[@lucasrodriguesdasilva5702]

This game is far difficult than it seems! Great game!

[@fuzzybearbarian]

It sure is. The Pixar look misleads people into thinking it's a chill kids game 🤣

[@kanaviswright600]

Correct 😂

[@AP-hn8wd]

I’ve only started this game on Master Spirit difficulty because I wanted to get the platinum on only one run. Definitely hard like a souls game. Is the lower levels still as hard?

[@Nathy835]

At first glance, it seems like a game you'd let your 10yo kid play. Then you get to first boss and realize that if you did let your kid play that game, you'd be a horrible parent 😅

[@VyzieTaur]

So I sat down today to try this fight, planning on having half an hour or so of attempts as a break from studying. Beat the fight in less than 10 minutes on my 3rd or 4th attempt. I guess I'm taking a shorter break than I thought lmao But seriously, been following all your master boss guides and they're a fantastic help. I would be nowhere near as far through as I am without them so thanks! :)

[@reduxThe1]

With your guide, I've defeated Toshi faster than I did the Woodsmith. Thank you ma guy.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Sweet!

[@evolvedparasite321]

Fuzzy Bearbarian you are amazing! Thank you for making these vids, you helped me get the platinum. I thought it would be too tough for me but you made it simple and doable.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

That's great to hear, cheers! 👍👍

[@evolvedparasite321]

I put a post on a trophy hunting forum with your vids so hopefully you will get more views.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

@@evolvedparasite321 Thanks man, that was nice of you. Cheers!

[@neothaka]

I'm at the end of this game and watching this video learned at least 3 things I didn't even know you could do!

[@2re86]

Thaaaank you! I've been struggling with this boss for quite awhile when every guide I read focused on perry. After watching this he was easy 😁

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Awesome, thanks for the comment!

[@michaeldeleau]

Best technique ever. I did it at the 3rd attempt. Did so many times without this technique. Thanks a lot.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

No probs, glad to have helped out 👍

[@michaeldeleau]

Thanks for all your amazing Kena videos. Got the platinum today thanks to you

[@aghilajaj]

oh my god this is unbelievable. with this guide. man i beat him in 2 seconds. thanks a lot. before your video i was asking myself how im gonna defeat him. think u so much

[@beaurobbins3508]

So smooth. I am excited to see how you do the next fight without any rot abilities.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Hopefully I'll find time today to do it, if not definitely tomorrow. Gotta work...

[@TheLiamcollum10]

You're my hero, made these guides so simple 👍

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Lol thanks, and glad they're helpful!

[@edward.elliott]

Bless you man. With this strategy I was able to beat him on first go.

[@musamatheslim6617]

Failed 3 times, watched this and beat him straight away! Thanks for guide

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Nice!

[@gforce1710]

This is genuinely hilarious. I toiled over this battle using parries mainly. A week later I see this and can’t stop laughing how easy you made it look

[@KHSxDAVIDHERNANDEZ]

Dude seriously you’re the best after 3 hours I finally beat him cause of you!!!

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Awesome, cheers!

[@muntadharalwash1490]

Good job captain... I deeped sixed him in expert diff but when i replayed the game on master i just wanted the plat trophy so i dont have to waste my time fighting him again with a new useless strategy from my mind, also it is quite fun using ur strat ... Thx alot.

[@moncef9286]

Thank you so much for turning Master difficulty into Story mode for me, you are one skilled player. 💪🏻👍🏻✌🏻

Dude you make it so easy that blows my mind this boss is a pain, holy cow

[@sannypsaykho]

Hell of a Fight.. Unbelievable. what a PRO

[@Dagoth_Ur_1]

Cheers, the shield dash really helped on master difficulty, managed to take no damage on 3rd try (after dying twice before when it had about 1hp lol)

[@AndrewjackGames]

After many attempts I just defeated this guy first try thanks to you 🎉

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Nice!

[@NorthernMike]

You are the man! Without your help I'd be stuck early in the game.

[@architf1]

Great video as usual. My strategy on expert was to spam shield dash as he began attacking; get some hits in and dodge his single swipe; run away as far as possible to build shield. I downed him once using rot arrow by luck when he charges the tracking projectiles, but didn’t know the eye glow is the cue. Only got hit once when I beat him (probably the first sword strike during phase 2). All bosses, once you figure them out (10-20 tries) can be dealt with easily (taking 1-2 hits) without even healing once. I would recommend people to try to defeat bosses once without your guide on preferably expert before watching your videos.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Yeah, I always recommend people try and try and try for themselves before referring to a guide. Go for a guide only once you feel the frustration getting a little too much. I never look at guides before beating a boss. Never. After I beat a boss though I'm happy to see how others do it differently.

[@El_Avalo]

I found your video after I’ve fought this boss for almost 3 hours on master difficulty 😂 I totally forgot about the dash ability and it could’ve come so handy for me omg man😂

[@fuzzybearbarian]

There's still a few bosses where it'll come in handy for ya 👍

[@zacharywatson9188]

I just want to thank you in advance this is the only boss I can't figure out how to dodge properly or consistently. If I beat him it will be because.of this video.

[@zacharywatson9188]

Update beat him I'm about 3 tries after watching this, so thank you

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Nice and no probs at all, glad to have helped.

[@guitarpro985]

Another amazing guide. Thanks!

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Thanks mate!

[@RVJunke1]

Fuzzy thank you for the videos. Only way I can beat the game. Not sure I’ll be able to do platinum! But heck your videos are awesome and helping a ton. The battening is like Elden Ring! Hard.

[@GeodudeSpitsFacts]

Got it second try after this! Thanks!

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Excellent!

[@dustincarroll7296]

Took a few tries for my thumbs to wake up lol. But I always take these videos and alter them into my fail-proof boss cheese of rot bomb, heavy charged, repeat. It's worked on nearly every boss so far

[@haniesmail3001]

That was sick ive been struggling on toshi the last few days the rest of the game ive been able to figure. Cool ideas i always forget about the shield i keep messing up parries instead

[@gustavotonnelli]

Great strategy. However, I think it’s a lot easier to keep using freeze bombs and charged attacks. It will keep on building up courage so that you can continue to do it until you beat him down. In case you don’t have enough courage to throw another freeze bomb after the freeze bomb fades away, you can use a couple shield dashes and it will usually do it.

[@Grimdel123]

Fantastic video and guide on this fight. What was beginning to be unbearable, before watching this, ended up being quite a good fight. Got him after about 3 tries, getting used to the different approach. I was doing fairly well with the dodges and got in a few parries before I watched this video, but this was so much cleaner. Got a sub out of me as well now, especially after seeing your a fellow Aussie 🇦🇺😃🤘🏻

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Cheers mate, and glad it helped! 👍

[@syedzain216]

Shit man.... This was crazy without taking a hit u finished him And me here can't beat him on normal difficulty ....epic man impressive

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Thanks mate! And don't worry, you'll beat him.

[@mackenziestewart7318]

This one worked so great too! On to the Rot God!

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Almost there!

[@carlesmartinezvat8948]

Thanks !! 3 attemps with yout video !!! ❤

[@MinionOfWar]

There seems to be a way to loop his AI into making this fight easy. At the beginning of the fight, lock onto him, run closer and do the double shield dash. Then sprint and heavy attack. He will show a stagger animation. After this, run (not sprint) to his right and then around him. Do the run for about half a second and then start sprinting. Do this to try and keep him in the centre of the map when he does his next attack. He will do a lunge attack at which point you will be behind him and will be sprinting. Do the sprint heavy attack and he will show the stagger animation again. Repeat the running around and sprinting heavy attack. I just did this on the latest patch on master and it worked fine. Trick is to keep him away from the border. If he breaks out of the cycle, then try to initiate the sprint jump attack at some point again which will start looping him again.

[@SamanthaBacini]

I didn't do it exactly the same but still this was a major help

[@TheMatrix10]

I was being too aggressive. Lol thanks for the guide

[@ZockerFD]

Awesome guide, did it first try

[@Drewsefer89]

Me watching this thinking "Oh wow... he's gonna be easy now" then proceeds to still get my butt kicked 🤣

[@cokehater7396]

damn thats impressive!! thanks for the tips, trynna platinum kena 😅

[@ChawkyVirus]

Holy crap the Shield Dash is extremely underrated PS: literally beat him 1st try without taking more than 2 hits by focusing mainly on shield dashes and stunlocking him after seeing this (on Normal, but still)

[@westonmorris3770]

Any suggestion of what to do if he doesn’t follow this pattern at all? I dash at the beginning and strong attack. He either blocks it or jumps away and does his 3000 fire sword combo on me. Really do like your videos. They’ve helped me with a bunch of the bosses on master!!

[@fuzzybearbarian]

If he blocks your shield dash it's because you're shield dashing too early. It's an interrupting move, so you have to time it with when he's starting a move of his own. Just wait patiently until he starts to telegraph a move of his own eg. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXebaKBsl8eXgbs

[@othmanal-bayati2013]

Thank u.. amazing guides.. just the last boss left😅

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Thanks!

[@triadwarfare]

You make it look so easy. I wonder if they made any changes after the anniversary update. I just completed my first pass of the game before I try master difficulty on New Game+

[@jamesm6638]

He always pulls out this giant green whip thing and instafucks me, haven't seen it happen in any videos :(

[@vLarsn]

Nicely done! I did it very similarly but instead of dashing I threw bombs as he attacked. Dashing seems safer though as I sometimes found myself missing him with the bombs 😅 Out of curiosity which boss did you find the hardest on master? By far I struggled the most with Corrupt Taro. The rest went surprisingly pain free.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

I didn't really struggle with any of the main bosses since I'd already made guides on them on expert mode, and mechanically speaking on master they were pretty much the same. However, I would say the chest in the house in the village was my main struggle. I'd go as far as to call that chest a boss lol. It took quite a few tries before I finally beat the "Chest Boss" lol, and even then I think I only had like 1 second left on the timer.

[@macc_jpgaming6713]

maybe they patch something but the sprint heavy stun lock doesn't do anything, his attack pattern after the first dodge is also completely different. Going back to my initial strategy that brought me way further but overall very frustrating fight. Nevertheless, great video and fighting skills.

[@daunteculpepper4884]

Hi, I dominate thanks yo your adicional al the fight except when he uses the whip , I cant find a way to avoid it, is there any? thanks

[@matystreetfighter]

I don't understand the concept of "shield dashing twice", it just looks like he is just dashing once, and then just doing the shield expansion, rather than dashing it. Anyone know what's that about ?

[@wimpieyuwono2550]

His health bar is ridiculous, that's make him so difficult to beat by some players.

[@thomasauer9370]

in very last seconds of the fight you instantly got 5 rot abilities. may i ask how was this possible?

[@fuzzybearbarian]

It doesn't happen with all bosses, but some bosses will fully charge all your rot abilities the instant you deplete their health bar. I think it's the same as when you get rot energy from damaging an enemy, only with certain bosses the final blow to their health bar counts as a ton of damage. Not sure of the point of it though tbh.

[@austin2994]

Looking forward to the corrupted rot god.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

I'm not, if I'm honest. 🤢

[@D1b2s3]

Please tell me the corrupted rot God guide is coming soon. I have hit a wall with its grab attack and no one seems to know how to avoid it properly. I lose all my health to it before I even get past the first stage. Love your vids, they have really helped me get through the master difficulty. 💕

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Yep, my day off is today so I'll be doing it and uploading it today. Unfortunately YT takes forever to process 4K files, so not sure how quickly it will be up, but I'm on it. In the meantime, avoid it's grab attack by shield dashing to the left under its armpit twice until you're at its back. You can do this double shield dash even when it's just crawling toward you, you don't have to wait for the actual attack. Shield dash twice to the left under its armpit and you'll always be safe from any of its front attacks.

How the heck did all of the courage replenish at the end?

[@fuzzybearbarian]

The boss died before the final hit, which is what filled the courage.

[@cornerxstone]

This guide is good don't get me wrong, but as usual for people that uploads them, boss seems almost scripted with very predictable moves. I acknowledge that the guide was not done in one attemp though.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

Yeah, lots of practice goes into these. It's kind of hard because by the time I work out how to beat them really well, I can go flawless every single time, which then makes it look like the boss was compliant in making the guide rofl. Maybe in the future I'll drop the no damaging part and try to make these guides before I get really good at the fight. I don't know, it's a hard one to juggle to get right.

[@crysis0ne95]

Hmm it's like he has much more moves in my playthrough weird

[@noahmd47]

Sorry, what is a double shield dash? I keep doing one, and it doesn’t work, but it doesn’t look like you are doing two. I cannot beat this guy and it is absolutely making me lose my mind. I’ve truly began to hate this game with everything in me. It’s no longer fun in any capacity. This fight is so poorly done and this difficulty is beyond ridiculous. It doesn’t feel like a challenge, it feels like a hate message from the devs.

[@noahmd47]

Wait I finally got it. Holy cow he was the worst. I need a nap. Thanks again for your videos man. Truly helped.

[@fuzzybearbarian]

By that I mean do two shield dashes, one after the other.

[@pauljohnson8921]

Would anyone be willing to share play and beat this guy for me

[@vincevirtua]

How many tries? haha

[@fuzzybearbarian]

I no damaged this very first time on master. It was easy because I had already learned how to no damage it when I played expert mode. But to make this video took a few more tries, maybe a dozen or so, because I had to work out an easier method to beat him that I thought most people would be able to replicate.

[@DoMiNo1547]
