Mitsume Yazura is one of the enemies in Nioh 2.
Character Directory[]
Mitsume Yazura is a three-eyed, eight-faced yokai, born when the souls of various beasts combined. While its face and legs resemble that of a human, it possesses neither a human's reasoning nor emotional capacity. It is said to lurk in the dark of the forest, springing on the unlucky few who venture nearby and devouring them whole.
There is a legend that Mitsume Yazura once lived on Mount Saru in Tosa Province (known today as Kochi prefecture), where it would attack passersby. A man named Shimeda Yu heard tell of this fiend and set fire to the forest after first conducting a ritual to appease the mountain gods. It is said Mitsume Yazura raged in the fire until it died, leaving behind a gigantic corpse. As it did in the legend, one might find that fire will come in handy when facing this beast in battle.
As Mitsume Yazura has eight faces, it has nearly no blind spots and is difficult to take by surprise. But bear in mind that Mitsume Yazura can only keep three of its eyes open at a time -- making use of this trait can help you get close enough to strike. Like many animals and yokai, Mitsume Yazura's eyes are also its weak point, so a swiftly loosed arrow to the eye will also surely help you prevail.
Behavior[]
Mitsume Yazura mainly attacks with swipes, charges, and body slams. It can also throw projectiles and unleash beams of fire, water, or electricity.
Weak Spot & Tactics[]
Mitsume Yazura's weak points are its eyes.
