Stay away from Kasha until the wheel disappears, or attack the wheel. Caution: she will summon the wheel even after the dark realm. Homing Wheel: While in the dark realm, she will summon a homing wheel that will chase after the player for 30 seconds dealing damage. If you fail to kill them, remember that she will deal damage to them too*( Still need to be verified). Summon Gaki: While in the dark realm, she can occasionally summon two Gaki This attack can be use to your advantage if you go quickly behind her (by going under while she is in the mid air). She will have a small recovery time after this attack that you can use to heal or attack her. Stomp Attack: She will launch herself into the air and stomp the ground below herĭodge backwards. You can burst counter this attack if you are right in front of her. If you can't, roll behind her.įorward Rush: She charges a burst attack and move forward leaving a trail of fire This attack is very difficult to dodge so try to use your parry. Whip Attack: She will use her whip to attack you from the sides You will quickly notice that she will go backward (for drawing the circle) so if you use a good timing you can even escape from the circle before she will draws it. Wait until she finishes creating the circle and roll away from it. When she stops run behind her and deal as much damage as you can before she recoversįire Circle: She will quickly create a circle of fire around you trapping you inside. Zigzag Rush: She will move forward in a zigzag pattern leaving a trail of fire behind her and dealing damage if she touches you. Try to kill them as soon as they come out so you don't have to deal with three enemies at once. She can also summon two Gaki to chase you down. This attack ends after 30 seconds or so, try to stay away from her until the wheel disappears. When in the Dark Realm, she will summon a spinning wheel that deals high damage and chase you around the battlefield. Her rush attacks leave a trail of fire behind that deal damage when you stand over them, but they are also the best opportunity to strike back as she will remain stationary when finished. Try to stay near her, when she attacks, stand behind her and try to deal as much damage as you can. She has a very weak defense against poison, and the player can essentially keep her poisoned the duration of the fight with shuriken or arrows. She is vulnerable to water attacks so you may want to use water imbued weapons or skills. Kasha will cause Fire Damage with most of her skills, so using high Fire Resistance equipment or Firestop Talismans is a great idea to increase durability. This benefits her, as she can quickly move around the battlefield covering great distances. Kasha can be found on a large and open battlefield.

The first step to defeating this yokai is to find a way to deal with its flames. The flames it leaves in its wake make it a difficult yokai to chase, not to mention the fact that it can trap you in a precarious position with nowhere to run. It is no easy task to predict the next movement of a wildly careening Kasha. As these tales spread, various funeral rites were introduced all over Japan to keep Kasha away from the deceased. There are many variants of this story, but they are all based on the folk belief that cats have the ability to exert mysterious powers upon the dead. This cat will cause something eerie to happen at a funeral, only stopping the supernatural show when its favored temple gets involved in order to improve the temple's reputation. Most of these tales revolve around a cat who wishes to repay the kindness of a poor temple that has taken it in. Japanese folktales also feature another type of Kasha known as Nekodanka. This saying originates from a belief in Kasha, with the struggle of poverty being likened to Kasha's Torture.

In Japanese, there is a saying that one is in a fiery chariot, which means that one is suffering great financial difficulty.

Kasha is a servant of hell tasked with torturing the very souls it steals. It is believed that this folklore got fused with the ancient Japanese belief that a cat should never be allowed in the vicinity of a corpse, resulting in the conception of Kasha as a monstrous cat that drives a fiery chariot. Its name originally referred to the mythical chariot believed to transport sinners to the underworld.
