Umi Bozu S17 Barok Plays Nioh
0I can see this boss fight giving a lot of people trouble. The difficulty hinges on how many torches you lit before entering the boss room. If you explored fully and got all 3, it can be kind of annoying. If you went in there with 0, it can be downright infuriating.
For every torch you light, one less add spawns in the first and second phase, or something to that effect. If you "use" any of the torches in the arena, you get a long lasting weapon buff of fire (Umi's weakness) but this is a noob trap. I strongly recommend against this. Yes, it does lots of damage but it also causes what I said earlier in the 2nd phase.
The main danger is the big laser attack, it's almost always a one shot kill. Thankfully it does have a long wind up time, so long as you're paying full attention to the boss. It takes a few times to get a feel for it, but eventually you won't get hit by it.
There are also many placed you can accidentally dodge off a ledge. So always keep in mind where you are on the pier, I've had a few times I dodge right or left twice only to go take a swim.
Beyond that, it's not too bad. Aim for the big yellow orbs in both phases for maximum damage. Bombs work extraordinarily well for damage, just make sure not to time it poorly. The only other attacks it uses is the tentacle smashes, one and 2 "hand" variety, and spitting chunks of boats at you which are easily avoided by dodging left or right.
