How to Beat Daidara — Onimusha: Way of the Sword Boss Guide

I spent way too many attempts dodging Daidara before working out that blocking and parrying makes him straightforward — even on Action, the hardest difficulty you can pick on a first playthrough. This is the phase 2 fight in full, with the approach that actually worked. The short version: guard his club strings and parry the last swing, break his armour with the Oni Bow, absorb every soul before he eats them, and save The Two Celestials (R1) for phase two, because its hits give souls back and that's your health.
