And oh, oh, I did. I really did learn through pain. Intense, burning, repeated pain.

We have a long journey ahead of us, dear friends, but it’s a worthwhile one. In front of us stands the seemingly undefeatable Tadakatsu Honda, and beyond? The path to Orochi.

When I say “seemingly undefeatable”, I… well, you’ll see. Hit the jump to see how badly things went.

This was a tough fight. Tadakatsu Honda is not only simply a formidable opponent in his own right, with a massive amount of health and solid base stats, but when you first encounter him he gets non-stop attack and defense buffs, making it very dangerous to even approach him. With judicious use of charge attacks and weapon attributes, you can batter him down until he retreats… but the battle isn’t over there, oh no.

Still, in for a penny, in for a pound, and even a failed attempt gives us a bit of experience… I just have to keep telling myself that!
