My favorite thing about Ninetails is how they control space by sidestepping to cut you off from getting around them, especially when you’re against the side of the arena. I wish more of the fight was actually going toe to toe with them instead of waiting for the sword to go up.
Ninetails in this game is honestly the most badass of boss fights. You can feel his evil nature and his rageful pride. He's got that intimidating stature and energy and when the mask comes off, you are almost expecting to get slashed in one shot with the angered glare he gives
It was the red on the constellation image that scared me, I procrastinated and purposely kept putting in incorrect stars before my dad just made me do it so I could get it over with lmao
I do consider Tamamo no Mae/ Ninetails to be the most dangerous yokai in Japanese mythology because it could manipulate anyone and also has magic powers to create illness and all that jazz. She’s more terrifying than Yamata no Orochi
I'm impressed. I didn't know you could do this on black flag. I've been doing this on Odyssey, with the God of War theme playing. And Valhalla, with the Beowulf theme playing. Now I have to replay black flag! Again!
Ninetails is my favorite boss in video game history. It's so powerful it could destroy Nippon if it wanted to but instead would rather watch it suffer either it's possessing the Water Dragon or creating a disease killing everyone slowly and painfully.
This was the only boss i ever died to in this game (and then immediately revived with an astral pouch, he froze me solid and I immediately forgot how to play the game and he killed me before I remembered that ice can be melted with the fire technique.
For me the most terrifying part of the boss was when I saw the red brush stroke. I'm like holy shit. Gotta draw faster. I expected a Phoenix with that consolation
Same here with the brush stroke. In a lot of battles prior to this one, I used the brush menu to gather my thoughts and strategize on how fight the enemy. Not being allowed that time due to Ninetails coming in to cancel my strokes only heightened that fear and anxiety I felt. Truly an amazing fight.
@@xKeepTheFaithx That's because it's art. It'll hold up like wine no matter how many years has passed just like the paintings from hundreds of years ago. Realize that quality art is timeless regardless of how advanced technology gets. Higher pixel density and more cpu power doesn't meant past creativity becomes inferior.
You're really good with the Fiery Inferno Brush Technique. That is one that I tend to struggle with. Also, kudos on the shield: usually I just slow down time and get out of the way. 🦊
@@HyperFerret93 Tbh it's really hard to loose damage in this game x) You have the divinity levels, then a lot of solar orbs that you can easily get back with very cheap bones. And even if you die, with all the food you've gathered in the game, you can still revive. I had to look for the death scene to know it existed xD
I take it that they increased the money rewards for the bosses in the HD version? I just did Ninetails today on my PS2 version and got 81.000 yen with a “perfect score”. Otherwise I loved how you humiliated this boss, revenge for Himiko.
Think this is my favourite boss battle in the game, Blight being my favourite in sheer design. It’s just a shame it’s such an easy boss unless you try to get that perfect rank.
