How to Beat Gyuki

Gyuki Boss Guide:

Gyuki can be very intimidating at first but there are many strategies that can be used to make this fight easier.

At the start of the fight you will want to head to his rear legs (the ones with Amrita) and attack them until the Amrita breaks. This will cause both Health and Ki damage.

Note: Remember to use your guard each time he performs an attack. There is a delay between his attacks so even if you run out of Ki you will be able to recover for the next attack.

Once you are done with the legs there are two strategies that you can use to fight him:

1) Stay under his belly or rear part and attack him. He can only use two attacks from his belly or rear (Belly Attack and Stomp Attack). Just keep attacking him until you see he is about to strike. Then use your guard to avoid the damage (even if your Ki is depleted he won't be able to use a second strike). He will occasionally turn around and try to face you. When this happens run to his belly again and repeat until the boss is defeated.

2) The other way to beat him is staying at a distance and luring his burst attack. The burst attack can be easily countered and provides a good opportunity to deal damage. This strategy is slower and will require more time but can be effective if you can avoid his ranged attacks. After you counter him, deal some damage, run away and repeat.

3)He will try to face you to swing his front legs if you are near his front, but you can take advantage of the AI for this. If you stand underneath the shoulder joint for one of the front legs, you can shift your target lock to the rear leg on the other side. This will keep you next to his body, and you will be able to rotate with him and attack as you please while he tries to target you. Occasionally, he will jump away to try and reposition himself, or jump up and slam down on you. Back away, get back into position and repeat until he dies.
