This was the hardest boss so far in this Razor's Edge remake. It took quite a few attempts, especially the second form. I blazed through the Xbox 360 orginal game in about 6 hours, so the difficulty increase on the bosses is definately noticable. The harder bosses are more tedious since you have to wait for specific openings and do microscopic damage regardless of the attacks you use, even when you land ultimate techniques on bosses. There is also a glitch in this game that was never fixed. Sometimes when you try to dodge the input doesnt register. Its gotten me killed quite often.
The claw worked great for the first form. For the second form I mainly went with 360 Scythe swings as theres alot of I-frames in the move and it has great reach. The mid boss checkpoint is after the first cutscene. Deaths are edited out as that second part of the fight took the longest. This is from the Master Ninja Collection.
