Snake Eyes Shirahagi | Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Wiki

turbo fun with puppeteer, turbo cancer without

Submit

accidentally threw her off the map, oops

Submit

A true Shinobi wouldn’t jump into a poison pit and get by 6 different enemies. He would lure them all into the poison. Ingenious tactics for quite a lacking bunch of rifle *******s.

Submit

Start at Poison Pool Idol. Jump up the ledges to your right and back stab the cannon dude. Go back down the way you came and sneak around behind snake eyes. Back stab. Use Mortal Draw. Next boss.

Submit

This can easily become the funniest miniboss. Sneak behind and stealth deathblow, then go back at the idol, go up and puppeteer the cannoneer. Then go to the right using the trees and puppeteer also the second cannoneer. Now watch and laugh.

Submit

How can they make the most fun combat ever in a video game then go ahead and make the worst fight ever holy **** this is aids

Submit

Kill the cannon mob on the grapple point nearest to the idol, stealth deathblow the boss, kill the canon mob at the end of the swamp on the wooden structure, reset stealth, stealth deathblow the cannon mob patrolling the swamp and use puppet ninjutsu. The cannon mob was able to get the boss to half before before dying.

Submit

I hope who ever designed this set of mini-bosses gets hit by a rickety musket that cuts them in half because it deals more damage than any ****ing sword ever created in the history of the world.

Submit

Juste beat this guy's ass by backstabing him first then hidding in the corner next to the big buddah statue elbow
I then afked and made a sandwich, easiest boss of my life

Submit

You can just lure him into the poison and he slowly dies like that, as of writing this I'm doing it rn

Submit

AND FOR THE WORST DESIGNED GANK FIGHT IN SEKIRO!!!

Submit

imagine fighting this boss head on like a real gamer instead of using the free weapon that is literally lying all over the place

Submit

honestly understand why people hate this mini boss so much but i just think that the grab is really cool

Submit

wtf is the hitbox on that grab attack lmao

Submit

flame vent makes this easy ngl

Submit

Actually managed to space out her grab, so a dodge backwards works. Everything else is deflect fodder.

Submit

whoever created this boss should get poisoned

Submit

This one is a pansy that needs poison and her lackeys to pressure you, the other Snake Eyes wakes up from nappy time and 1v1s right off the bat.

Submit

there's a pretty big window right after her long range shot and after successfully dodging her grab, you must immediately zone in and spam the **** out of the sabimaru

Submit

Died the most to her compared to even main bosses in my later playthroughs

Submit

Is the encounter changed in NG+ or is it changed depending on when you fight her? I entered before Genichiro and the cannoneer on top of the cliff is gone, the other two of the cannon women are replaced with a shotgun and rifle, and there's two more rifles on the second island. Not sure what triggered the change

Submit

It's always morally correct to cheese her.

Submit

Why is she immune to poison, that makes no sense from a lore perspective.

Submit

Lure her into the poison water using spring flame vent and run/jump to a safe place behind the buddha statue at the sculptors idol, so she follows you
After a few seconds, poison effect kicks into her

Keep her in the poison untill she is ready to get a deathblow

Repeat

Submit

The spiral spear is very effective due to its penatration qualities. If you charge her with it she'll try and swing at you and just get skewered. Very low spirit cost means you can easily deplete an entire health bar without even coming close to running out. Combine that with the stealth blow and this fight is much less frustrating.

Submit

Collateral damage took away most of her posture after a stealth kill, got me laughing so hard.

Submit

3400XP on NG+1 charmless

Submit

I beat this 7 times already and I can't recall a single time I had fun fighting this thing.

Submit

This entry is misleading. She’s not immune to poison. I got her down to her first deathblow by accident when I hid on a stand to heal after killing the mob enemies; she walks right into the bog and poisons herself. Set the controller down, make a sandwich, come back and shuriken her for the deathblow, then go back to hiding.

Submit

This boss is an insult to fun.

Submit

If you kill the guardian ape first, he'll head down here and smash up the place, so they'll only be two canon wielders around the boss, both of which can be stealth killed before she notices you.

I'm really surprised this isn't on this page, unless I missed it

Submit

The charged spear can be used to rush her down and pull her back to you. Deals high poise damage and lets you stand close for a sword trade. just beware of her grab and its very, very doable and fast

Submit

Having beaten every other Soulsborne game, I can say with reasonable certainty that this is the most annoying are in any one. Seemingly impossible to kill anyone else without pulling the miniboss, seemingly impossible to reset once you have...

Submit

Gg I can kill her blind folded.

Submit

If I try fighting her in the poison, I get slowed and take damage over time; If I hide to lure her back on land, she regains all of her posture. The boss is rewarded for being stupid and standing in the poison.

Submit

all this boss deserves is to sit an die of poison while you sit and watch under your big umbrella hat.

Submit

A fine example of horrible enemy design

Submit

Sekiro's katana deals like 1 HP and no poise damage while this ***** smashes me twice with a ****ing pipe and I'm gone.
I like this game but some fights feel really ****ing unfair and stupid. Feels like I gotta cheese half of the mobs to even stand a chance.

Submit

First one drops 119 sen

Submit

lure her into the fog gate and stunlock her if you dont want to get the mobs in the area be alert

Submit

She can be lured on top of the tent with the two other gunners after a sneak deathblow and then if you position it right (her on top of the tent, you hugging one of the tentpoles) you can wait for her hit/shot/grab combos and then jump up, hitting once. It will take several minutes to whittle her hp down for a deathblow but if you, like me, struggled with her parry timings this can cheese the fight pretty consistently unless you time jumps wrong and take a blast right to the face (it... happened to me more times than i dare to admit)

Submit

Seems to be immune to poison swamp now, and the cannoneers were changed to basic shotgunners. From-Soft reminding we have to play the game the way they want us to.

Submit

Puppetier is also very effective :D use it on the 3 gunners in the area and he will have no chance.

Submit

Only miniboss or boss in NG+ that has taken more than 3 attempts. Ended up puppeteering all 3 cannon dudes to get it over with.

Submit

Is it virtually impossible to poison this retarded boss on ng+ or something? I've spent 22 emblems with my piercing sabimaru - and nothing, no effect completely.

Submit

Garbage

Submit

I'm sure this is what Bloodborne was referring to on the origins of the rifle spear.

Submit

These guys and all the gunner enemies seem pretty heavily inspired by the lepers from Princess Mononoke. The bandages, guns, everything.

Submit

If you use puppeteer ninjitsu on one of the cannon wielding enemies on the cliff or the platform they'll do most of the work for you.

Submit

Erm, they're not firing bo-hiya rockets; for one thing, real life bo-hiya were designed to stick OUT of the barrel, as shown in the actual wiki link. Also, hiya-zutsu are actually just matchlock muskets that have been modified to fire bo-hiya; the Snake Eyes (like the other Sunken Valley folk) are wielding what seem to be hand cannons, which were basically small cannons on a stick that were used across much of Eurasia before the invention of the matchlock.

Submit

Shirahagi can be completely cheesed since she seems to take damage when she walks around in the poison lake area, I’m not sure why and it seems to be a bit irregular but if you really want to, you can just sit and hide at the entrance of the area.

Submit

I defeated this boss with very easy method. First backstab deathblow the boss, then alert the guard near her so the will attack you. Stay close to the her, if you shot by the guard she will get shot too, this will dealt high posture damage on her. Just do it two times and her posture will be very high. It's really easy to defeat her afterwards.

Submit

“...armed with rapid-fire, belt-fed, auto-muskets and advanced build-in target acquisition and tracking modules enabling them to engage the player with pinpoint accuracy both on the ground and in the air beyond visual range once detected.” I-I’m sorry?? Did I accidentally click on the Halo Wiki??

Submit

When she does the pull back motion when doing her grab, you can actually deflect it. I find it to be a more reliable and constructive way of dealing with it. I don’t know if that’s common knowledge but I didn’t see it here when I skimmed the page.

Submit

Shadowrush was very effective for me. Just one stealth blow then cheesed her with shadowrush by the fog door also if you get lucky the cannon guy can take a lot of her health.

Submit

Unfortunately the cheese method seems to be patched out, the second time I fought her she didn’t take any poison damage from the swamp even after chilling in there a good 4 or 5 minutes

Submit

Another cheese strat: kill the two gunners, then lure the boss to the tent next to where they stood. Get her to walk onto the top, and quickly go underneath and stand to one side of the tent. If you stand on one of the sides that doesn't have a ramp, she will try to hit you with her combos, yet every attack will miss except for the gunshots (which can safely be blocked as they will be the only source of posture damage you will be taking.) Between her combos, you can jump straight up and slash her either once or twice (depending on the combo used). It takes a long time because the jumping slashes don't hit hard. But it's safe, and was how I killed her the first time in NG and then again in NG+. Just keep jumping and slashing her after each combo and you can then go up and deathblow her when she is low enough.

Submit

Important note about this fight. If you beat Guardian Ape prior to fighting Shirahagi, the entire arena will change, and the gun enemies will instead consist of three cannon wielders. I can only assume that beating Guardian Ape is what triggers this. It actually makes dealing with the group much much easier

Submit

Use double ichimonji to cheese. Deflect first attack, double, then deflect and repeat. Easy win.

Submit

Their little kick is one of the most frustrating attacks in the game imo. It doesn't deal that much damage, but tt's insanely fast and has hyper armor, breaking your combo. Also having to stand back up everytime feels humiliating.

Submit

cheese: kill the shotgunner and pull her, retreat to the high ground near the idol and make her stay in the poison. she will get poisoned and deplete her vitality; you will have to go close, do a few blocks and attacks for deathblow. do this twice

Submit

This isn't Shirafuji.

Submit

You can just run past her to the idol, rest, and then hide on the hand of the buddha close to the idol. She will stand in the poison, won't shoot, and eventually, die

Submit

If you have the puppeteer ninjutsu before fighting her, you can pop a Gaachin's sugar and stealth kill most of the adds in the room. The mob with the big cannon in the middle of the room (in front of Snake Eyes) can be puppeteered to help. One cannon shot has a tendency to knock down Snake Eyes for you to move in for some easy damage. It is worth noting that one shot from Snake Eyes can kill your new friend though. Easy way to get through at least one health bar.

Submit

Wow, very intense fight. Loved it!

Submit

How is it possible that a gentle tap of their guns deals almost as much damage as a shot right in the the face. Seriously they hit almost as hard, if not harder as the final boss.

Submit

This fight's biggest issue is the hitbox of the grab. It is a really bad hitbox. The fight is certainly doable despite that, but it makes it harder to judge whether or not you're close enough to get hit.

Submit

The Wiki *needs* to be changed so that the Snake Eyes Shirafuji page AND TEMPLATE aren't direct relinks to the Shirahagi page. The enemies are incredibly similar, but *each* mini-boss has their own unique page even if they share character models and similar movesets.

Submit

This ***** is *****ing unfair unfair without Kuro's charm. They just one shot you with grab / shooting. It's just impossible to kill them legitimately without cheesing on a charmless run. To cheese them find a cliff and make sure they are above you and you are down them, this way them miss all their attacks, after combo / shoting jump and attack 2 times. It only possible in Ashina Depths, can't cheese the one in Sunken Valley.

Submit

Am I the only one who thinks tha they are harder than some of the proper bosses, and that their Posture regens waaaay too quicklí? I mean, if you die once, under the time it takes for the resurrect/die choices to come up, they regen 80% of their Posture (tested, seen w/ my own eyes, enemy was 1 hit away from death blow when I died, and then BAM, the Posture went back to like 20% by the time I res'd). I mean, come on, man! That way, res or not, if you die once, you can pretty much throw that run out of the widow and die and start anew, because by the time you res, you'll be back to square 1 (or almost) and even if not, you'll have lost healing, and they... Well, nothing, except for ~20% of their Posture.

Submit

Shirahagi in the poison swamp cannot be poisoned with piercing sabimaru on ng+. Tested with fistful of ash to lay in full sabimaru combo, would not proc even after 5 full unguarded combos. On the other hand, it takes up to a minute for her to be poisoned in the swamp.

Submit

It says that this boss is not optional. It is completely optional. Lol

Submit

Btw, Shirafuji's range pretty much doubles in new game plus so be prepared to die a lot.

Submit

You can easily stealth one of their health bars (both Shirafuji and Shirahagi, though Shirahagi is a bit more difficult) and the rest is easy once you have the Iron Fortress prosthetic tool (iron umbrella), it completely negates their grab-and-shoot attack. You can also make the Shirahagi fight a bit easier if you lure him/her up on the shed nearby and place yourself lower. A lot of the attacks won't connect and you can just aggressively chip away at the healthbar or posture for finisher. The Shirafuji is similar if you get him/her near the edge of the mountain. Ar least that worked wonderfully for me

Submit

There should be separate pages for Shirahagi and Shirafuji, just as there are separate pages for Tokujiro and Juzou + every other mini-boss that is shares the same model but is fought in a different place.

Submit

These mini-bosses ara harder than most bosses for me, i lost count how many times i died from these *****ers..

Submit

Hurray for cheese!

Submit

For the poison pool Snake Eyes, I used a green candy and snuck up on em from the poison statue for a free death blow. Than doused him in oil and set him ablaze: get some free hits, blocked when necessary, when he trys pulling you in I doused him in oil again and rinse/repeat. He's quite the bastard! The snow one (in the Sunken Valley) I still haven't gone back to, but she can be poisoned a lot easier.

Submit

While I could consistently poison Shirafuji with Sabimaru, and parry her grab attack, for some reason Shirahagi wouldn't get parries even after two full Sabimaru combos, and the grab couldn't be parried.

Submit

Shirahagi in the poison pool is the easiest boss. For the most time in the fight, I was not looking at the screen and was doing something else. You just aggro him, and run to the poison pool idol, grapple up onto the hand of the statue and crouch there. He will stand in the poison pool and try to shoot you constantly, but if you position it right, then all shots will be blocked by the statue. Now you just wait until he got poisoned out of vitality and then jump down to finish him. Grapple up onto the hand again for the second bar.

Submit

so by accident I actually made her fall off the cliff with the enhanced fire prosthetic. I didn't get a prayer bead and the offering box doesn't give it back. Any thoughts or suggestions or is it lost forever?

Submit

I found him in both spots. Seems strange, but hey, netted me two prayer beads.

Submit

Her unblockable move is a grab that she follows up with a high dmg shot, so dodge the grab asap. And whenever she kicks you, she always follows it up with a shot so be prepared to dodge to the side after she kicks. It's a tricky fight but it's just a matter of practice and learning to spot her moves. Good luck skeleton!

Submit

Shirahagi can loose all HP by standing on the poison pool. Take about 3 mins to proc and deplete one bar. You still have to go and deathblow.

Submit

I think the shotgun wielding enemies are replaced by Cannoneers if you don’t decide to tackle Depths first and instead arrive through Sunken Valley by going behind the snake. Also is Shirahagi optional? I know you can skip Headless Ape if you don’t fight him the first time and go straight to the forest but I thought there’s a fog wall that meant you have to beat Shirahagi.

Submit

I found fire to work pretty well on the one in the sunken Valley. Using the living friend to put fire on the sword, I was able to burn snake eyes after several hits. This stuns her/him and allows you to get more hits in and keeps her/his posture from recovering. A solid damage phase.

Submit

So I was F-ing up this boss and ended up knocking the boss off the cliff killing it but I didn't get prayer beads of exp or money is that supposed to happen or am I dumb (fighting the gun boss thats on the way to gunfort)

Submit

for Shirahagi if you stealth kill the two up high canonniers, you can puppeteer the third on the island and he will pretty much take off one full bar by himself, ao long as you keep her distracted on you of course.

Submit

This game is just dumb. I wasted hundreds of spirit emblems for subimaru, but i couldn't proc posion. So i tried to just deflect his attacks and he went down in 10 seconds. The whole game is about deflecting attacks, any other item or tool is just for decorating purposes only to confuse you that maybe there are advanced builds or strategies: wrong.

Submit

beat Shirahagi killing gunman then shotgun and lure the boss atop the tent in middle. he cant hit you if you stand under him except gun shot.

Submit

The one on the way to the gunfort can be easily poisoned with the sabimura. When she is still sitting down, just spam sabimura and than block some of her attacks and spam again and that's one health down.

Submit

This is the buggiest mob what i ever seen.... i parry her fatal dmg ability by jumping than jumping on her face(with pressing the jump button in the air) and she sometimes just bugg me out of the animation and kill me with a faceshot.... like pls... this is not a from softwer quality....

Submit

shirahagi was fairly easy I found Jumping Ichimonji: Double to punish her after i dodge her swings, and especially her grab attempt. Managing to land 4-5 of them in succession is enough to break posture, that number decreasing as she takes more damage

Submit

Good god, ***** this guy.

Submit

I've had some incredible results fighting her at the gunfort with the help of the Loaded Umbrella - Magnet and the skills related to it. Deflecting hits with it is easy and counter-attacking with the Projected Force skill deals a sizeable amount of damage while powering through light attacks.

Submit

The wait-out-the-poison cheese method is great, however, you still have to go down and whack her a few times to be able to do a death blow. I feel like From might be patching this, it just feels like an entirely unintended mechanic for her fight. There is flavor text somewhere about people living in/around poison being immune to it (from constant exposure, I'd imagine), this feels like that kind of a situation. Possibly she was supposed to be immune to pool poison instead of sabimaru? Has anyone gotten sabimaru to proc poison on her yet?

Submit

I love being 2-shot by this a-hole.

Submit

For some reason, this specific mini-boss seems immune to Sabimaru poisoning. Unlike its counterpart, Shirafuji, who I was able to easily beat by deducing from the item descriptions that that they have a weakness to that prosthetic. I can poison Snake Eyes Shirafuji in just a few hits from the sabimaru prosthetic. But on this one (Shirahagi)? Even with 3 full sabimaru combos I could not trigger the effect.

Submit

TLDR: Using the Sabimaru prosthetic is the key for these fights. Be aggressive and keep spamming the Sabimaru until the poison status appears. From there the rest of the fight is easy as their posture wont regen while being affected by poison. Easy Prayer beads

Submit

Sabimaru flavor text: "Wielded in wars of old, the blade's blue rust was used to drive off inhuman Okami warrior women. Even now, it is likely to be effective against their descendants" Gun Fort Shrine Key: "The Sunken Valley clan will shoot any stranger who approaches, and Snake Eyes' guns are particularly feared.This elite group of women are descendants of the ancient Okami Clan. Their especially sharp eyes allow them to snipe victims at great range." Sabimaru is the key to doing this fight easily, I've created a new game with the goal of testing this, as my original save killed both Snake eyes.
