How to Beat Dohatsu-ten - Heaven's Bane (Enhanced)

[1] Focus on parrying

The enhanced version is faster and more aggressive. Sticking to defense and focusing on parries will help you survive the onslaught of attacks. Try to dodge and parry first before unleashing a damage combo.

[2] Avoid getting hit

Similar to the previous point, avoid getting hit so you don't give Dohatsu-ten souls to enhance his blade with blood. Keep your guard up while slowly whittling his HP down.

[3] Keep the pressure

Dohatsu-ten has a lot of movement options and fast dash attacks. Keeping too much distance puts you at a disadvantage, since these attacks are harder to time. Stick to melee range and pressure him from there.
