Imagawa Yoshimoto is an antagonist and a boss in Nioh 2.
Character Directory[]
Imagawa Yoshimoto is a daimyo of Suruga Province (modern-day eastern Shizuoka Prefecture). He hails from a great family that claims descent from the Ashikaga, the clan of the shogun.
A celebrated general who was dubbed the "greatest archer in Tokaido," he successfully extended his clan's power all the way to Totomi and Mikawa. When he launched an assault on Owari, hoping to expand his clan's power westward, he was met with a surprise attack by Oda Nobunaga in Okehazama.
In spite of their overwhelming military might, the Imagawa forces were thrown into disarray by the surprise attack, and Yoshimoto was ultimately defeated by the protagonist.
Location[]
Imagawa Yoshimoto is the boss of the fourth mission, The Hidden Monsters of Okehazama. He later appears in Imagawa Diehard.
Behavior[]
Imagawa Yoshimoto wields a spear and dual blades, in addition to a bow. He can leap back and fire multiple Lightning arrows in a spread or raining down. His Burst attacks are summoning Rokugezo to blast a large area with lightning while wielding a Spear and performing multiple strikes while wielding Dual Blades.
Weak Spot & Tactics[]
As the first human boss, Imagawa Yoshimoto is quite different from standard yokai bosses. He is fast, can block, and his stamina must be depleted normally. The Shocked status from his lightning attacks can make his barrage of attacks more difficult to deal with, so avoid them if possible.
