Nioh 2 OST - Tate Eboshi

[@robertb.warren4749]

This boss has a pretty sad origin. The song reflects on that sadness while also emphasizing how dangerous she is.

[@todd2.08]

What’s her story

[@robertb.warren4749]

@@todd2.08 She was an orphan who was ostracized be her entire village and forced to live in the wilderness as a bandit for survival. At some point, Otakemaru turned her into a yokai and manipulated her into doing his bidding. She considered him to be her only friend.

[@DropKickEddy]

She's got a hidden Switchglaive skill which is pretty cool

She is my favorite boss in the game by far. To me she is the fastest of the slow bosses and the only thing sorta outrageous about her is the damage numbers.

[@Yuuerin]

Hardest boss I’ve ever fought. She’s absolutely psychotic screaming “I smell spirit stones!!” 😂

You are a godsend! Also, one of the best boss fights in the whole game! No boss in this game has scared me like she did, since she can close the distance so incredibly quick.

[@Umiedo]

A lot of things improved from Nioh 1 to Nioh 2, that is well known. One of the most overlooked aspects, according to me, is the music. With this DLC they just kinda solidified it that they're really capable of putting out amazing boss tracks. Love that they actually had vocals in this one as well! I think it's the first time they did that? Anyway, love it and loved the DLC. Looking forward to the next IP! Edit: Some people have informed me that more tracks contain vocals, and I've also come to realise that myself, A LOT of tracks in the Nioh OST has vocals haha. There's something unique with these though, perhaps they're more prevelant than in other tracks. Either way, amazing OST!

[@HPKazan]

Agreed, the music in these types of games enhances the sentiment of dread and awe when fighting bosses. (same with Dark souls, Bloodborne etc) This track here (Tate) is absolutely marvelous, love the gypsy eastern europe (even arabic?) type vibe with that female vocalist. When the song kinda restarts on a variant of the chorus somewhere in the 8:00 mark , I tell you those vocals give me goosebumps.

[@theorangeman9147]

I think Lady Osakabe had vocals for her too

[@vergil3512]

Theres also azai nagamasa's with vocals, but they're sort of quiet but you can hear the female vocals (although its not singing like this ost but yeah)

[@HPKazan]

@@vergil3512 That one is also on my top tracks

[@vergil3512]

@@HPKazan Azai Nagamasa's imo is one of the most amazing soundtracks in this game, (there are others too-well i like all of them ngl) but Azai Nagamasa's one has that sense of feel to it

@@nightrain1121 not really, it could've been tho. the arena is the best tho together with the ost and story. The boss himself is very telegraphed sadly.

[@randokalunn8647]

I almost get Witcher vibes when listening to the vocal during the yokai realm phase. This sound track might be my favorite in the game.

[@HPKazan]

Yeah! Very gypsy/eastern europe/slavic influenced.

[@Half-Vampire]

2nd hardest fight in the entire game and the most fun. Her soundtrack kicks ass which adds to the fun factor of this boss fight.

[@nervmeister]

Funnily enough, she and Suzuka are supposed to be one and the same.

[@tannertucker9810]

Really? Where did you hear that. Information on those two is extremely sparse because it's all just Fate Grand Order rather than the actual folklore. Thanks to Matthew Meyer there is quite some useful information on her assistance with Tamuraro's confrontations against Otakemaru

[@bryank4521]

@@tannertucker9810 sometimes different stories of Ōtakemaru referred her in different names, you’re right abt the scare sources anyway

[@WaddleDee45]

Her grab attack is pretty cool. It really hurts, but it's still cool.

[@PointingShot]

This is just like the Shuten Doji track to me, absolutely mesmerizing. Even if I cursed alot at this boss at times, the fantastic soundtrack kept me trying again and again.

[@progamerinfek]

Fought her for about 4 hours in my first encounter at Dream of the Wise with Penance Stone +9...I love this boss fight! 08:03 hype intensifies!

[@Saicofake]

Seriously one of the best boss fight in the DLC.

[@vanatos8989]

2nd hardest boss of the DLC for me. Otakemaru's first fight in the DLC was by far the hardest with Nightmare Bringer being the easiest. Pretty much the age old classic of, "stick to his ass"

[@vanatos8989]

@Mr. Hater Lmao

[@EldenLord.]

To be fair that was Otakemaru in his prime so I am glad he was way harder than the one we fight at the end of the base game.

I managed to kill her all 3 times on all of the missions on wise without dying once, my personal favorite boss from the new dlc, very enjoyable fight.

[@Xunizal]

Enjoyable fight itself and that mouth reveal in the cutscene was pretty creepy, not to mention the bitch's apparent bloodlust. I sure as hell enjoyed it, though I still need to get better at her fight since she does still kinda kick my backside.

[@bishopjemison9906]

She's wearing the Taira set. You can get that actually. Not the platform shoes or the giant amrita eboshi hat but she is wearing an obtainable set. She's just too enormous and it doesn't really fit.

[@EldenLord.]

In my opinion all of the new DLC bosses are far better than the base game bosses. Much more challenging and enjoyable fights with great design and movesets. I am not someone who plays on Way of the Demon or Wise, only Way of the Strong but even there these fights are perfectly balanced. I also liked these short DLC stories a lot and actually cared more about the new characters there, than the ones appearing in the base game.

[@eliedeeb1149]

I can't help but feel like this boss is what Mai Shiranui would look like if she was turned into a demon. Am I crazy for thinking that? Because the boss looks and even has the same idle animation as Mai Shiranui from King of Fighters. (Update: So after fighting her a few times. She definitely does have some moves similar to Mai Shiranui, especially how she darts around mid-air.)
