Derrick the Executioner is technically the first boss of Nioh - though a very quick one, and he is battled at the end of Mission 1: The Man with the Guadian Spirit.

Derrick Boss Strategy

Dodge his attacks (to the side) and then get a few hits in. The axe works quite well here as it does the most damage in the early game. He uses many axe styles that you'll be able to learn later in the game, most notably a charge attack, and a 3 swing sweep followed by a slam.

When he transforms into the second form wait for him to run towards you then dodge to the side, attack a few times, back off again and repeat. Once your Living Weapon is charged, activate it to finish the fight.

Thomas Derrick was an English executioner c. 1608.

In English history, executioner was not a commonly chosen career path because of the risk of friends and families of the deceased knowing who the executioner was and where to find him. Executioners were sometimes coerced into the role. Derrick in particular had been convicted of rape but was pardoned by the Earl of Essex (clearing him of the death penalty) on the condition that he became an executioner at Tyburn.

Derrick executed more than 3,000 people in his career, including his pardoner, the Earl of Essex, in 1601. Derrick devised a beam with a topping lift and pulleys for his hangings, instead of the old-fashioned rope over the beam method.

The word derrick became an eponym for the frame from which the hangman's noose was supported and through that usage (by analogy) to modern day cranes.
