It covers a large area so continue the fight normally while avoiding those areas. Phase 2 is basically the same as the first one except the Great Shinobi Owl drops a good amount of poison on the floor instead of shooting shurikens. If you get hit with this you will be debuffed and canвЂ™t heal while the effect is still on. He will also drop a canister of green smoke. Evade that and once he lands hit him with Ichimonji or any melee attack. He will jump backwards and fire off a pair of shurikens followed by a leap attack. He will attempt to kick you and jump up backwards and shoot off shurikens which can be guarded or evaded. You can deflect one and attempt to do a quick stab at him. As a master shinobi that survived the war between the Ashina and Takeru clans, Owl is an experienced fighter and all-around badass.

This will recover a significant portion of your posture. I highly recommend use the Double Ichimonji combat art and use it after his leap attack. Obviously deflecting all his melee and ranged attacks is key but even more important in this fight because even if you deflect a heavy melee attack, he does significant damage to your own posture. He has many different attacks and learning them is important so you can get hits in. He has two deathblow markers and is a worthy opponent. Great Shinobi Owl is found at the top of the Ashina Castle in Sekiro Shadows Die Twice late in the game if you donвЂ™t betray Kuro (good ending path).
