The fastest way to improve your mastery of any weapon is in the New Game + , in the mission “Hunting Large Demons” (level 175) in the Kinki region.

There is only one enemy in this mission, the boss Onryoki, who is much stronger and more difficult than his brother from the first mission. All you need to do is just hit this boss with the right type of weapon. Since this is a boss, and a high-level one at that, your skill will accumulate much faster than in a fight with ordinary enemies. The speed of leveling up your skill depends on the number of hits you deal, and not on the amount of damage dealt, so the fastest way to level up your skills will be kusarigama (with the “reaper” skill) and double katanas (with the “water sword” skill), because they deal a lot of fast, but weak blows. With a spear, katana and axe, leveling up will take longer, but still very fast, because you don’t need to go anywhere. Always use a low stance to throw more punches in less time.

I advise you to equip a weapon with the lightning element, as it slows down the enemy and you will have more time to attack. Stay behind the boss's right leg and attack. If you die, it doesn’t matter, just start over, the main thing here is to just beat the boss. Over time, you will learn how to kill this boss with any weapon and memorize all his moves. Use your favorite talismans and pills (such as Talisman of Sloth, Exhaustion, Strength Pills, Defense Increase Talisman, etc.) to give yourself more time to try.

And don’t forget, to complete a mission in the dojo you need 500 thousand skills, you don’t have to level it up any further.

Also, if you learn how to kill the boss while you are leveling up your skill, you will also receive a trophy for completing ten missions with a partner, because an NPC helps you in this battle.

Available after completing the fifth region mission: "Eternal Flame". The task will appear in the Dojo. To access it you need 500,000+/999,999 katana mastery..
