The guards on the bridge can be bypassed, they do not matter for this duel.

Shinobi Hunter Enshin of Misen resides in the estate of Hirata. It is not possible to further explore the estate and obtain the key to the temple; which makes him a mandatory boss that prevents the further completion of the Estate Hirata. Following the main path to the estate, you will eventually reach the bridge, guarded by two guards with shields (if you do not have an improvement prosthesis, mounted tops, it's better to let go of the fight and just break through them).

The boss is right behind the bridge - Shinobi Hunter Enshin of Misen | Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Boss Fight - Bosses - Sekiro Guide and Walkthrough

The boss is right behind the bridge. He is guarded by four guards:

  1. one stands by his back to the tower,
  2. two on the right, in the bushes,
  3. fourth, the archer, is left on the road or among the bushes, closer to the boss.

Eliminate them first, otherwise they will bother you very much in a duel with the boss. If the boss saw you at a distance run away - minions of the boss will not reappear in their spots, unless you use rest or fast travel.

How to deal with Shinobi Hunter Enshin of Mizen?

Attack the boss from behind; previously you need to get rid of other opponents. - Shinobi Hunter Enshin of Misen | Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Boss Fight - Bosses - Sekiro Guide and Walkthrough
Attack the boss from behind; previously you need to get rid of other opponents.

The boss is not very sophisticated, but it can bring some problems. Remember that you can always escape from the battlefield to avoid death - unfortunately, the nearest checkpoint is at the gate of the estate. As often happens, the task of blowing the first critical strike in stealth mode is the key. So the enemy can't know about you.

If you try to take the opportunity to critically attack the boss without eliminating his assistants, you will exit the arena when the boss returns, he will have an updated health.

Perform a quick attack while boss regenerates his attack to interrupt his offensive. - Shinobi Hunter Enshin of Misen | Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Boss Fight - Bosses - Sekiro Guide and Walkthrough
Perform a quick attack while boss regenerates his attack to interrupt his offensive.

Shinobi Hunter is equipped with a massive tree weapon. Like almost every opponent of this type, he constantly uses a special attack. He uses its four methods: push blow, push with a toss, several quick blows, side slash. There are four ways to avoid it:

  1. quickly attack the enemy with slashes - he sould stop the attack (but it is quite a risky move),
  2. jump back - because of the range of weapons, it is better to perform two leaps back.
  3. Use Mikiri Counter - this ability is available to unlock for the hero from the beginning. With it, you can press the Dodge button at just the right moment to stop the enemy's attack; and once it's weakened, even deal a critical hit (this technique won't protect you from a side cut!).
  4. Stop the enemy's attack with a Fistful of ash or a Shinobi firecracker.
This battle should be short, if you immediately go on the offensive - Shinobi Hunter Enshin of Misen | Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Boss Fight - Bosses - Sekiro Guide and Walkthrough

This battle should be short, if you immediately go on the offensive. The enemy has a very weak posture, which slowly falls - its reduction will allow for critical strikes even when his health is completely full.

Tip: use the terrain height - Shinobi Hunter Enshin of Misen | Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Boss Fight - Bosses - Sekiro Guide and Walkthrough

Tip: use the terrain height. It will allow you to think over tactics more freely, to see available means of fight, or to cure or use preparations during the fight. The opponent does not know how to jump, so he needs to get to you taking various ways.
