How to unlock the Vengeance achievement in Onimusha: Warlords - Definitive Guide
Story-related, can't be missed.
Osric is the first boss of the game but isn't that hard to kill if you know his moves. He has a (really big) club that will swing all over. What you have to do is read its movements. Basically, he used two attacks, one vertical and one horizontal. Horizontal can be defended but he hits two times, so stay on guard till the second blow. Vertical have two variations. One can't be blocked and should be evaded. It's when he get his club up. Just lock on him (holding ) then when he raises his club, quickly press (but don't hold) the movement button opposite way Samanosuke is facing. Doing this, the protagonist will dash backwards, getting away from the attack. Vertical attack down-up can be blocked.
Using the Shiden special ability will stun him for a few seconds. After beat the ass off the big guy, he will get angry and all red. Then he will rush towards you. Easy to escape, just be at an open area and circle him when he start running or just don't stop running after he gets all red. Keep these things in mind and he will be down in no time. After the fight you will get a lot of souls and Vengeance Trophy.
