| Location | Mt. Kongo and Senpou Temple |
Strategy
HP Kill
Battling the Armored Warrior head-on is not a good idea, since his armor is impenetrable from the front.
In order to damage the Armored Warrior, you have to let him hit the wall.
You then have a chance to get behind him and strike his back.
When he sizes up like this, he will then unleash four consecutive attacks. Do your best to avoid getting hit by these attacks, especially the fourth one, as it can one-shot you. You will have an opening to strike him from behind after he calms down.
The Armored Warrior's lunging strike is unblockable. Be wary of when he prepares the attack, as it can deal massive damage.
After you've exhausted his Posture Gauge, move the fight to one of the open balconies. This way, once you get the chance to deal the Shinobi Kill, you can finish him off by kicking him off the ledge.
