Locating the Hidden Path

To find the boss Taigen Sessai, you must first travel to the opening area of the map. Work your way through the world until you arrive at Lake Hamana.

You need to finish the main tasks in this zone before the secret encounter becomes available. Once the area is clear, look for a nearby Shrine. This Shrine serves as your starting point for the short trek to the battle site.

Reaching the Boss

Walk up to the Shrine from the front. You can pick up some useful things from the ground nearby. Follow the road until you reach a corner, where you should turn left.

Look for the word "Master" on your map to get to this place. If you hit this, the game will take you straight to the ring to begin the fight.

Defeating the Boss

Stay close and keep the pressure on Taigen Sessai if you want to win the fight. Be very careful with his steps so you don't get hit hard and lose all your health.

A charm can help you get stronger for the battle. You can use your Living Artifact or a long weapon to do damage from afar when the fight gets tough.

You'll get a gift and see "Master Defeated" on your map. After that, you can leave the fight and get your loot in Nioh 3.
