Horie's Fleeting Petals Walkthrough
[1] Choose the Horie's Fleeting Petals Battle Scroll while at a shrine/Bodhisattva statue.
You will arrive at an area similar to Lake Hamana.
[2] Make your way to the underground cave.
Go straight and turn right from where you can find the shrine. There are enemies in the area so be prepared to fight.
Go through the house and leave through the castle estate's exit.
Go down the path and you will find the cave entrance.
[3] Look for the pink tree.
Go through the cave and then turn right. If you search through the souls in the cave, you will learn that Spirit Stones can be used to turn people into yokai.
When you get to the bridge outside, turn left.
As you approach the tree, you will be attacked.
[4] Defeat the yokai, Magatsu Warrior
Here are some tips for fighting the Magatsu Warrior!
・It wields four katanas, but deal enough damage and it will lose the two flaming katanas.
・Magatsu Warrior will attack with a lot of spinning attacks, so be sure your finger is on the dodge button.
・It can fire a double katana beam, but once you dodge it, the boss will need time to relax so swing away at it when this happens.
・It has an overhead katana slash attack that you can parry. Take advantage of that!
・It also has a Tornado Slashers attack where it creates a tornado of slashes as it spins. This can only be dodged!
・Its Burst Attack happens when it starts glowing red. You can stop this move with Burst Break, giving you an opening to attack it.
[5] Speak with the princess.
