How to start the Sword Duel quest
Okubo Sanzaemon, who was kicked out of his position as the guard of the main residence of the clan for not protecting it from thieves climbing over the wall, is looking for battles!
The duel with swords quest starts during the passage of the world quest Go Golden Tornado! How to get and pass it, we wrote earlier and you can study this guide here.
The main character is Yasuhiko Taro, the samurai who organized the tournament "duel with swords».
How to get into battle with Okubo Sanzaemon
Each warrior you encounter in the Sword Duel has their own master moves, which you can view in the menu after talking with your opponent.
During the duel, the elemental skill and elemental explosion are not available, but instead of the elemental skill, you will have another skill - Block. It allows you to take a defensive stance and significantly reduce the damage taken.
We immediately choose extreme difficulty, since you can get all the source stones only by passing this difficulty. Here you need to defeat Okubo in 75 seconds.
If you just beat him with your hand, you will not have time to defeat him in the allotted time. You need to use the "Block" skill when Okubo's sword lights up blue, so you can counterattack and deal a lot of damage. This all happens quickly enough, if you rush a little or delay, then the counterattack will not work.
If you want to take the entire reward, then you need to complete the Deadly Difficulty. There, the tactics of passing are exactly the same, use the "block" while Okubo's sword lights up blue.
