The Beast of Smoke and Flame is the second main mission inNiOh 2.
Its objective is to check the events that take place on the Tatara mountain.
On this page of the guide, you will find a walkthrough for this mission.
First shrine
Talk to your companion and then go to the first shrine.
Immediately behind it, you will encounter the first two opponents.
Focus your attention on the enemy with more armor - watch it and dodge its attacks.
The gate behind them is closed, you must follow the path leading to the village.
This way you minimize the risk of fighting two at the same time.
After dealing with them, go up the stairs.
At the top, you’ve got the option to go right and face a Revenant.
The entrance to the roof is opposite the building with the stove.
The second target is a less armored enemy patrolling the area.
Thanks to this solution, you will only face one opponent in a direct battle.
Time to face Ippodantara.
Ippodantara is a fast opponent whose attacks are mostly based on blows dealt with an axe.
The easiest way of defeating it is letting it attack.
Once the battle concludes, a door leading further ahead will open.
Go down the stairs to find yourself in a cave.
There you’ve got the option to talk to a woman sitting by the fire.
Second shrine
A long sequence awaits you after visiting the second shrine.
The first opponent you’ll encounter is a Sohaya.
Sohaya has the ability to cast healing spells which may prolong the encounter.
Further ahead, you’ll encounter a group of opponents.
On the other side of the bridge, you will encounter a Native.

Do not underestimate him, he is agile and can cause significant damage.
Further ahead, you’ll encounter another Sohaya.
This way, you’ll be able to climb back up if you’ve fallen down from the ledge.
At the entrance, you will encounter two Rogues.
Kill them and enter the building.
Push the container with water located nearby down.
Continue by descending to the lowest level and use the ladder at the end of the room.
This way you’ll gain access to an upper level.
Deal with two opponents that appear before you.
Start by taking care of the archer.
This way you will avoid getting hit during the battle.
Descend down the ladder to the lower level.
There is another duet - an archer and a Gaki - ahead.
Defeating them shouldn’t pose a problem.
Now all you have to do is to descend to the room with the shrine.
At the gate, you’ll face Enenra.
The walkthrough for the fight can be found in a separate chapter of the guide.
