Note: When the boss's eyes are closed, it’s completely immune to all damage.The fight with Ichimokuren follows a pattern. The boss summons Turdak minions with eyes closed. It makes him immune to damage. Give priority to eliminating the add-ups first. They are weak to Fire and Force. As minions are down—Raidou’s sword combos with demons specializing within Fire and Force elements, and Ichimokuren's eyes will open, making him vulnerable and allowing your Volt attacks against Ichimokuren to stagger it for some heavy follow-up strikes.
Hitting the weakness would stagger Ichimokuren and leave it open for Raidou to land some powerful, heavy sword, sword-driven strikes. Make sure to maximize damage during a brief opening.
How to navigate the final phase in a fight against Ichimokuren?
As said, Ichimokuren is vulnerable when its eyes remain open. When Ichimokuren's health dips lower, approximately 25%, the fight will significantly intensify. He would still summon Turdak but would actively attack with his eyes open.
The Tentacle Whip strike of Ichimokuren is quite dangerous and can cover a wide range. It can inflict a debilitating Dizzy status on Raidou or the demons.Pro tip: Fuse strong demons in Goumaden, with a focus on Force-based abilities and Volt. A balanced team with Pyro Demon and Volt specialists will work best.Managing Dizzy is paramount here. Make sure you have some Anti-Dizzy items or the demons with Patra skill ready. Do not feel obligated to finish the final Turdak pair if Ichimokuren seems to be near defeat. Keep focusing on dodging tentacles, with the use of Volt demons, to exploit Ichimokuren's weakness and using Raidou to land some decisive blows to end the fight swiftly. Give priority to survival while you whittle down the boss.
