What Is a Nushi?
Nushi are the giant beasts that rule each region of blighted Japan. Defeating one lets Emma absorb its power as a Nushi Skill — Rangifer, for example, grants Sakura Storm. Six Nushi carry their own kill trophies: Rangifer, Lacerta, Ursa, Corvus, Erymanth and Taurus. Nushi Skills are permanent and survive respecs.
Beating Rangifer, Your First Real Boss
- Level 6–7 is enough for the first encounter (the rematch comes at Lv 12).
- It’s weak to fire — bring fire-based tools if you have them.
- Rest at the campsite outside the lair first; retries are free (see death rules).
- Parry the antler sweeps to build its Down Gauge, then spend the Lethal execution — the loop from our beginner guide carries the whole fight.
