White Forest Boss - Warlord Izumi
Try to jump every now and then as you may dodge his shadow dash move. Also interrupt his heals if you can.
Burial Grounds Boss - Warlord Niroshi
Make sure you deal with the risen ASAP because if you don't deal with them they will eventually mob you to death. It is recommended to disrupt him while he is trying to summon the risen.
Dai'Jin Mines Boss 1 - Lady Akari
Disrupt her fireball casting and dodge her fireballs just as she's about to release them and jump in for the kill.
Dai'Jin Mines Boss 2 - Dai'Jin Lord
He heals/blocks more damage the more you attack him in a short time frame.
The key to this fight is to burst him down with 1 or 2 attacks (Don't use multi hit strikes) run away and wait for his green shield to disappear and repeat til dead.
Venomwoods Boss 1 - Ryota the Sly
Reduce healing debuffs are useful for this fight e.g Doom Blade.
Has high regeneration so lay down the pain and interrupt his poison bolts (don't bother dodging them as they can track you).
Venomwoods Boss 2 - Lord Takeshi
Just like Ryota healing debuffs are useful for this fight.
Try to disrupt his poison cloud and just continue to damage him.
Shogun Palace Boss 1 - Haddaku the Swift
He will occasionally summon a clone of himself although it disappears fairly quick so just focus on bringing down the boss.
Shogun Palace Boss 2 - Warlord Asura
Try to interrupt or avoid his high slashing damage move as it deals HIGH damage. Later on in the fight he will use a blue shield which renders him inactive but will heal him while its active so attack him while he is doing this (healing debuffs are useful here). Try to avoid him while he is glowing red as he deals increased damage.

Kazuro is impossible for a warrior. Currently i'm using doom blade with bloodthirst, slam with lasting pain, heavy shuriken with blackout, 2 concentrated brew, and maxed out brutal advantage, along with 2 of each stat increase. I nearly killed him, but I messed up and got hit by the shockwave. If not that, I get killed by my clone when it uses the shuriken. Suggestions anyone?
I don't think you can get any other weapon/gear upgrade components. Due to that, I try and save them! I feel like they should add a way to get additional components, because at this point, you basically have to save them for your nearly best stuff.
hello.
one question: has anyone ever made it to the top of the walljump just beyond your reach(daijin mines, and(I think) not the ones with the boots of discovery;if I'm wrong please tell me)? I think it can be reached with the use of the berserker's ability to knock you back, if the that helps ring bells.
