![]() Leave Gion from the south gate, head west until you reach the barricade on Shijo Street and take a right. ![]() Once it’s over, you’re to head to the Imperial Palace. Head north afterwards and enter Kondo’s usual haunt to start a cutscene. If you need to heal, you can save your items by eating at Kitchen Aoba, along the south wall of Gion. You receive an Iron Grinder pistol for your victory!Īfter the battle, you’ll find your path to the barracks is blocked, so head to Gion to find Kondo. As with Yoshinobu in Chapter 11, you’ll learn Harada’s attack patterns the more you fight him, so don’t get discouraged if you lose a few times, because each attempt will make you better at learning when to block and when to counter. When he’s at a little less than half health, you’ll trigger a cutscene with a quick time event, this is a good chance to deal extra damage.Īs is usually the case, Heat moves will occasionally trigger a quick time event that you need to pass to deal damage, but they’re the best way to deal lots of damage, so trigger them as often as you can, avoiding repeat attacks so your damage isn’t reduced. This is telegraphed by Harada spinning around first, so try to dodge around this since it’s a charging attack it is safer to dodge than most of his other attacks. His Heat mode grants him a special move where he rushes at you to impale you, and then he shoots you for big damage. If you can time it correctly, you’re able to block the first shot without getting knocked back when you launch your counter. Since the shots in this combo deal less damage than his spear, it’s best to drop your guard and counterattack. If you’re blocking this combo, you’ll be sent sprawling with the last shot. ![]() The most notable instance is the combo where he sweeps with his spear and then fires three times. Nonetheless, blocking is the safer method here, even if some of his attacks will break through. Dodging is difficult because of his sweeping spear attacks, and his pistol makes it dangerous to block every attack. Harada has no patience for honor or patience, so he’s fighting with a spear and a pistol, making him a formidable opponent. As you near the main road, you’ll trigger a cutscene with Harada, one of your fellow captains, and your next boss battle.ĭespite the choice of venue, the burning buildings around you are harmless, which is good because you have enough to worry about. The shortest path to the barracks is blocked by a burning barricade, so head east for a clear path. If you isolate him quickly, you and Okita will make short work of him.Īfter the following cutscene you’ll be separated from Okita, so continue north. Heat attacks will occasionally trigger a quick time event, and his Heat mode allows him to zap you with lightning, but other than that you can simply dodge or block his attacks before counterattacking. He has more health, and he certainly hurts more, but his attacks are slow for a boss, and they can be blocked without much risk. Swordsman or Wild Dancer style works well against him, because he is hardly a better fighter than the random fights you might get into on the streets. Like any group boss fight, use Wild Dancer to wipe out the minions before you focus on Sasaki. This fight is pretty simple, it’s Sasaki and his men versus you and Okita. When you cross into Rakugai, you’ll be confronted by Sasaki and the Mimawarigumi, in a boss encounter. The back alleys are blazing, so head to the market to reach the gate into Rakugai. With the city ablaze, some paths may be blocked off, such as in Fushimi. You need to find Kondo, he’s either at Gion or the Shinsengumi barracks, so head north. Since they’re safe, you can exit the building to speak with Okita about the situation. Run into Teradaya and interact with the shining object at the front desk to pick up a letter from Otose.
