Head through the mission to where the 2 Watchtowers are on your right then head into the first building on your left. From the shrine, go left to the end of the path, smash through the crates to find the Kodama in the corner. Defeat the Red Kappa down here to be able to find the Kodama to the left side of the large central rock.Ĭontinue through the mission to the third shrine just across the bridge. Once you have collected the Fourth Kodama, kick the tree down then drop down into the water. At the end of the path is a tree you can knock down. Behind this tree in the corner is the Kodama.įrom the Third Kodamas’ location go down taking the first left. Proceed through the mission where the Rokurokubi enemies are with the Giant Tree that has a thick rope wrapped around it. Behind the first large tree, directly in front of where you enter the area in the water will be the Kodama. Go through the mission until you come to the area with the Red Kappa in the water. Doing this will allow you to damage Maria more often while also being defensive for the entire fight.From the start of the mission, go up the stairs, take the second left to see the Kodama against the back wall. However, if you run at her directly and roll forward right before the wave is unleashed, you won't take any damage and can quickly counterattack before having to evade again.

You also take a small amount of damage even if you block the waves of energy. She'll unleash energy wave attacks that do massive amount of damage if they hit you. Once half of her health bar is gone, Maria will charge her sword with energy. Only attack her twice at the most, then retreat. When attacking Maria, wait until she finishes with an attack to get a few strikes in. Dodging is very important in this fight, as guarding any of Maria's atatcks will deplete your Ki very fast and leave you open to attacks. When oyu notice her doing this, begin retreating and try to dodge away when you see her quickly attack you.

Occasionally, Maria will open an energy door and teleport behind you to attack. This attack does massive damage and sets you up to be attacked again once it finishes, which can lead to a very quick death if you aren't careful. Don't let her get close if she rushes at you, otherwise Maria will swipe with her left hand and do a quick grapple attack. She will charge at you with a slash attack that hits 4 times, dodge it and attack from behind when you can before retreating to defend yourself. Maria is extremely fast with her attacks, which also happen to be devestating to your health bar.
