How to deal with Long-arm Centipede Sen'un?

First, eliminate smaller enemies standing on the floor beams.

Begin the encounter with the elimination of small enemies: located on the floor and on the beams under the ceiling, and two in front of the main entrance. By jumping on them, a red dot appears, making the attack critical (that is, kill each of the minor enemies with one hit). Before attacking the boss, if he noticed you, you need to calm him down; get out of the building and let him get back to the altar. Attack him with a critical hit in the back or from above.

Start the fight, inflicting a critical blow from the back or jump down on him from the air with a slash.

During the battle, the enemy uses his long legs to perform a long series of blows. The better you handle them, the faster you destroy enemy posture - be careful, however, as your posture may decrease as quickly as his. After each series of boss attacks you should leap back, restore the posture and continue to receive his blows - there's no need to attack when the enemy will soon lose the posture. In such moment you may defeat him with a critical strike. The enemy can sometimes make a critical strike based on a strong cut. Leap backwards or jump to avoid injury. To improve your posture, you can use Gokan sugar or persimmon fruit.

As a general rule, try to smash the enemy from air or parry the blows; when your posture gets reduced, keep your distance from the boss.

However, if you can't handle this combat technique, you can use. Fire (Fire Vent). In combination with the oil, they cause very high damage to the opponent. In addition:

1. It is necessary to use the installation elements to avoid enemy attacks,
2. Before the fight, you can also protect yourself from fire (eg. Drowsing Powder), which the enemy sometimes uses,
3. You can always run on the beams under the ceiling If you are close to death. Remember, however, that if you leave the building, the enemy will regenerate his health. If you rest at the statue, boss sidekicks will appear once more in the arena.
