Okami HD - Ninetails Boss Fight, no items or damage

[@lakobause]

This was probably one of my favorite bosses in the game. I loved its flamboyant appearance, its fast attacks, the fact that it can use its own brush against yours, and the way you strip away its opulent disguise to reveal its ugly nature, both of the boss and the arena.

[@bladeshifter16]

Not to mention the music. Okami has one of the best OSTs I have ever seen.

[@jondoe7036]

Oh definitely. In terms of mechanics and gameplay, Yami is my favourite Ōkami bossfight, but Ninetails is easily the best villain in terms of characterization and story implementation.

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

@@jondoe7036 Yeah Ninetails is my favorite Okami Villain he's way better than Yami.

[@mattdubz6890]

I loved Lechku and Nechku, seriously, mechanical owls wearing hats, mustaches and monocles that stop time ?

[@austinmorrison6953]

They look down on the gods and yet they imitate the gods by hiding inside a constellation and using the celestial brush technique.

[@colbaltmind5696]

I think its meant to be a mockery of the Celestial brush gods considering Ninetails' mask is also meant to be a mockery of Amaterasu's divine appearance, as well as the Nine Strike(Ninetails' sword) being a mockery of the Seven Strike. Issue himself comments how a constellation could shine in such an evil place before amaterasu completes the constellation and realizes that its ninetails.

That's because those that use hypocrisy and pride, are usually blind to their actions and / or irony.

[@lyricalmage]

Who doesn't? It's like fighting the Anti-Amaterasu!

[@CaptainMoonMoon]

Ninetails in this game is honestly the most badass of boss fights. You can feel his evil nature and his rageful pride. He's got that intimidating stature and energy and when the mask comes off, you are almost expecting to get slashed in one shot with the angered glare he gives

[@ci7210]

For me the most terrifying part of the boss was when I saw the red brush stroke. I'm like holy shit. Gotta draw faster. I expected a Phoenix with that consolation

[@shilohwhiloh9636]

Same here with the brush stroke. In a lot of battles prior to this one, I used the brush menu to gather my thoughts and strategize on how fight the enemy. Not being allowed that time due to Ninetails coming in to cancel my strokes only heightened that fear and anxiety I felt. Truly an amazing fight.

[@SCP01986]

I swear the graphics of this game stills holds up beautifully today.

[@xKeepTheFaithx]

I know right! The art style of this game is truly beautiful

[@DrCureAging]

@@xKeepTheFaithx That's because it's art. It'll hold up like wine no matter how many years has passed just like the paintings from hundreds of years ago. Realize that quality art is timeless regardless of how advanced technology gets. Higher pixel density and more cpu power doesn't meant past creativity becomes inferior.

[@neptune7872]

As soon as I put the final dot in the constellation I knew something was wrong, it was honestly terrifying

[@1SSA1cosmoprower]

riiiight? Thats how it was on my first playthrough considering I wanted no spoilers ahead of time XD The team behind the game knew what they were doing when they put that sound in on the constellation reveal :O

[@carlyl2032]

And I thought I was good at this game. You are so quick on the brush that even she can't cross out your strokes.

[@Koganai96]

Carly L No. Ninetails is actually a male and not a female. Okami Official Art Works have stated already.

[@carlyl2032]

yeohthomas Oh, my apologies.

[@Koganai96]

Carly L I can’t wait to play this game in the PS4 around 12 of December.

[@carlyl2032]

[@Ammy-q4w]

As someone who has played this game a lot, there are not many fights that scare me, but Ninetails is always one of the few that makes me brace myself.

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

Ninetails is one of my favorite Okami Characters he's so fun to fight and I like Foxes especially Kitsune Foxes.

[@himikotoga3283]

[@lunarthegryphon8110]

Ninetails is my favorite boss in video game history. It's so powerful it could destroy Nippon if it wanted to but instead would rather watch it suffer either it's possessing the Water Dragon or creating a disease killing everyone slowly and painfully.

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

Luna Well pretty sure he has standards when it comes to that can't rule anything if there's nothing but death.

[@Ansible1000]

Great job on what is probably the coolest (and hardest?) boss-fight in Okami.

[@SuperKratosgamer]

hardest is the kusa 5, but this is sure the coolest.

[@GrvndMvsterVssvssin]

Though I have never played this game, I froze in horror when I seen the constellation LOL

[@apothisiii5549]

honestly on my first playthrough, that moment was just, like OH....NO.

[@enrique9925]

It is so cool because the other constellations were deitys that were part of Amaterasu, but this was a fake one and even emulated her brush techniques and appearance.

[@YojimboJames]

This should’ve been the final boss imo. The setup was perfect, the design is amazing, the fight itself is fast and kinda hard.

[@wolfman210]

I'm glad it wasn't because it would have left the story unfinished since Yami's still out there.

[@Elementroar]

It’s like an envious thing at once imitating Ammy (as a fox) and even Orochi in a way with its multiple ‘heads/tails’

[@mechelleshannon744]

2:09 - 2:14 Reminds of when Naruto stabbed possessed Gaara in the butt with an exploding kunai. :)

Ninetails walk is fucking hilarious I wish we could see it from another angle lol

You're really good with the Fiery Inferno Brush Technique. That is one that I tend to struggle with. Also, kudos on the shield: usually I just slow down time and get out of the way. 🦊

[@sirgrantelton1081]

I do consider Tamamo no Mae/ Ninetails to be the most dangerous yokai in Japanese mythology because it could manipulate anyone and also has magic powers to create illness and all that jazz. She’s more terrifying than Yamata no Orochi

[@iancharles1571]

What if...Ninetales was not actually a pure demon kitsune with a god complex mockingly imitating Ammy and the celestials...she was formally one of them for real (She still has her own constellation) and was cast out/fell from grace ala Lucifer/Satan

[@ichigopockychan]

That would be an interesting backstory if it turned out she was a former celestial god. I wonder what heinous thing she did to get kicked out of there.

[@Nivlache]

I always thought that the first time I played through Okami too, was surprised most people seem to think Ninetails just copy the other celestial brush gods. Also doesn't Ninetails randomly use a brush pattern which Ammy never gets ingame ? (It's been long since I last played aa)

[@supermegaman88]

@@Nivlache Ah recently played the switch version and got to this boss, and not really ^^’ ninetails uses the same brush skills you use, so it’s more of a race every time you go into brush mode

I though he reached the power of it by his own and he figured how to overwrite reality

[@wolfman210]

In some versions of mythology Tamamo no Mae/Nine Tails is essentially Amaterasu's evil side made manifest.

@@endlessemptyvoid The official Okami artworks book does refer to Ninetails as male "The demon leader residing on Oni Island. By manipulating both light and dark forces, *he* throws all who oppose him into a put of despair." The artworks also refer to the likes of Yami, Blight, Lechku & Nechku as male also.

[@willtroman9286]

Best boss fight in the game

[@kirbyhero256]

I'd been wondering what would happen if you didn't hit their sword with lightning, but I never tried it for myself. On that note, it's pretty cool to see a duel against the final form without zapping them, even though seeing the final body slowly dragging itself along is amusing.

[@zeze7022]

My favorite thing about Ninetails is how they control space by sidestepping to cut you off from getting around them, especially when you’re against the side of the arena. I wish more of the fight was actually going toe to toe with them instead of waiting for the sword to go up.

[@Koganai96]

I wonder why the mask flies off after u defeat his minions.

[@strangeandinteresting]

I think of it like this: The true Ninetails is actually just the one tailed fox, and it needed the fox rods to give it all of those tails. The fox rods manifest as the 'minions', and once they're all defeated, Ninetails returns to being the tired old fox it was before because it doesn't have the fox rods backing it up anymore.

[@Koganai96]

Well, I just hope whoever wore that mask does not get manipulated by the darkness. Thanks for the theory. But I really like the design of the mask.

[@strangeandinteresting]

yeohthomas Agreed. That mask is cool as hell.

[@Koganai96]

im-so-2460-done I mean the current mask that Ninetails (Kyuubi) is wearing. Not the other 8 clones. Except the inside of his mask was dark.

[@Koganai96]

In my opinion, I don't think whoever wore that mask can be easily brainwashed. Afterall, the mask that Nintetails was wearing was just a mockery over Ammy's divine appearance.

[@Sosuke0727]

What's wrong with using items ?

[@akirakilluar]

The Holy Slips items are surprisely over power and broken in this game. It's deal almighty damage in big radius and give no invisible frame on the boss. So you can speedrun and spam like 3-4 that items and the boss battle is over. (My fist re-run with spider queen only cost me 2 and it end the instant she show her eyes weekness) Not to mention the infinity ink item alow you spam brush tech like crazy. So, have a boss fight doesn't rely on the item and no-damage is quite a feast, at least.
