Tips

Talk to the samurai ally Nogami Gensai waiting by the pond only after picking off Juzou's bandit guards so he survives long enough to draw the boss's attention.
Firing a Shuriken while Lady Butterfly is airborne or walking on wires knocks her down instantly and leaves her wide open to melee strikes.
