How to defeat the Tengu Demon Boss in Curse of Uchitsune Mythic Tale in Ghost of Tsushima

This boss fight is different from your previous battles. Equipping an armor that offers reduced damage as a perk will be beneficial here. You must try to find an opening by parrying non-red attacks. However, be careful of the attacks marked in red. These are unblockable and you must dodge them at all costs.

Keep dodging and attacking the Tengu Demon till it gets eliminated. You will complete the Mythic Tale once this boss is vanquished.
