The ongoing success of the Fallout TV show has fuelled renewed interest in the Fallout games ever since it hit Prime Video, and now Bethesda has confirmed just how big an impact it’s made.
Rise Of The Ronin: How To Beat Naosuke Ii & Akikatsu Manabe (Boss Fight)
04.04.2024 - 18:25 / screenrant.com / Randen Banuelos
Naosuke Ii and Akikatsu Manabe are the dual final bosses of Chapter 1 in , and they are formidable bosses at that. While taking on Naosuke alone is relatively easy, the real challenge is juggling your attention against two hard-hitting enemies. Yet, with plenty of Counterspark parries and grappling hook throws, taking the Red and Blue Demons down can be achieved with only a handful of deaths.
As mentioned, players should heavily practice using Counterspark throughout Chapter 1 to prepare for this pair. You may want to initially keep a wide berthbetween the Veiled Edge and each other to memorize their Katana slash rhythms before executing Counterspark Chains. Also, if you have any unlockable allies in , bringing them along will greatly help you manage both of these bosses.
You will initially face Naosuke himself. He primarily uses shockwave projectiles with occasional close combat. Utilizing the Counterspark mechanic is key, as this will quickly fill Naosuke's panic meter and leave him vulnerable to combos. The Veiled Edge can also throw weapons scattered around the arena at Naosuke with the grappling hook, temporarily staggering him.
When Naosuke reaches half health, a short cutscene shows Akikatsu, the Blue Demon, coming to Naosuke's aid. Akikatsu is trickier, relying on fast projectile attacks and sudden close-range rushes. As mentioned, if you have any companions, they can greatly assist during this second phase by keeping Akikatsu distracted while you focus on whittling down the rest of Naosuke's health.
After dealing with the Red Demon in, focus on countering with Countersparks when Akikatsu does his three-strike katana slashes. Dash away when he throws down a grenade before he lunges at you, and remember to throw weapons at him as a disruption. When he summons clones to confuse you at low health,note that the Akikatsu that the camera repeatedly locks onto is the real Blue Demon.
You should know one key mechanic both bosses have, i.e., Ki Blaze. Like the Veiled Edge's Ki, this state greatly increases the Demons' attack power and sets their katanas alight. Either take down one of the two bosses to deactivate Ki Blaze or strike them with enough Ki damage or whetstones that their Ki bar runs out.
Once both bosses are defeated and the Blue Demon is incapacitated, you can choose to kill or spare Naosuke. Neither choice will significantly impact the game's overall narrative, but each route has unique armor and weapons available. How you deal with the situation is largely up to you, as the fight can always be replayed and your choice changed via Testament of the Soul, after you beat .
For completionists that want all the armor and weapons that either ending gives, you can use Testament of the

The Fallout TV show gave the Fallout games a huge player bump, as everyone remembers they like Fallout
Crawl out through the fallout, baby! I've watched two episodes of Amazon's recently released Fallout TV show, a series for and about Walton Goggins' rizz (a thing the kids say). I've been on the Goggins hype train for over a decade at this point, and it's great that - oh sorry, I'm being told that the Fallout TV show is in fact about Bethesda's post-nukepocalypse RPG series of video games, and as such has given a massive player bump to said video games on Steam.

The Fallout TV show has revived an ancient argument about Vault Boy's thumb
Last week I went to a screening of Amazon and Bethesda's Fallout TV show, a spin-off yarn starring Ella Purnell (who voiced Jinx in the Arcane Netflix adaptation) as a recently surfaced Vault Dweller, scouring the irradiated wastelands for [SPOILERS REDACTED]. It's early days, but the show's first two episodes didn't make a massive impression on me, though I will concede that the sight of Amazon's branding on Fallout's infamous Please Stand By emergency broadcast titlecard makes a dangerous amount of sense.
