#GhostOfYotei Battle with Munetaka the Horse Theif in Echoes of Sekigahara DLC. Custom Difficulty. Lethal Aggression and Spirit Gains. Hard Parry Window. Using Glass Cannon Build where Health isn't upgraded.

This video features a high-level combat challenge in the Echoes of Sekigahara DLC for Ghost of Yotei, where the player takes on Munetaka the Horse Thief (0:00). The gameplay is performed on a custom difficulty setting, featuring Lethal Aggression, decreased spirit gains, and a hard parry window (0:00-0:14).

Key highlights of the battle include:

Glass Cannon Build: The player opts to keep their health unupgraded, making the encounter extremely dangerous as they must rely on precise defensive maneuvers (0:00-0:14).
Intense Duel: Throughout the sequence, the player engages Munetaka in a series of swift exchanges, showcasing high-skill swordplay and deflects (0:14-1:56).
Conclusion: The battle culminates in a final exchange where the player defeats Munetaka, followed by a concluding cinematic interaction between the characters (1:56-2:13).

The glass cannon build in this gameplay relies on a high-risk, high-reward combat philosophy. By choosing not to upgrade health (0:00 - 0:14), the player minimizes their survivability, meaning any single mistake or failed parry against Munetaka will likely result in immediate defeat.

To compensate for this extreme vulnerability, the player focuses on:

Precise Defensive Maneuvers: Relying heavily on mastering the hard parry window to negate incoming damage without taking hits.
Aggressive Offense: Despite the fragile health pool, the build necessitates being relentless to overcome enemies quickly, especially when combined with the Lethal Aggression difficulty setting (0:00 - 0:14).
Skill-Based Gameplay: Because the player cannot rely on health as a safety net, every interaction requires perfect timing and spatial awareness to maintain control of the duel.
