A few tips for anyone who reads this:
On Beating Lady Shiori
- When she goes in the air and attacks you with the poison balls, DO NOT run far away; when she comes down she will destroy you with her spells
- Instead, get right under her during poison balls and strafe left and right, while using Blood Mirror (if you have it)
- When she comes down, attack/stun her before she gets to inflict 1000+ damage with her spells
On Beating Kazuro:
- Eat a rice ball in the area right before you enter the auto-save/Kazuro zone; it's a nice vitality/health boost
- You have to barrage him with your attacks in order to keep him from attacking you; figure out the best sequence of attacks maximizing your cooldown time
- When you move and he pursues you, try to stun him and/or use a strong attack to delay his purple freezing attack
- When the purple bar underneath him begins, instead of trying to stun him to stop the attack, simply move left/right and JUMP. It should be enough to avoid it every time; follow it with your own barrage
- Use your potion as soon as you can, in the likelihood that you'll use it about twice during the fight
- If you can shut out his offense and avoid being stunned too much, the only troublesome part should be fighting the summoned clone of yourself; once you get the hang of his moves, beating him with 80%+ health is easy; just don't be overly aggressive--that'll get you killed
