The Third Word
Mission Start Text
There's a huge bird flying around outside.
I'm pretty sure it belonged to Magoichi, right? It's almost like it's beckoning for us to follow it somewhere.
Let's go and see where it leads us.
Mission End Text
Good grief, there's just no stopping you, eh. Maybe you should become the next Magoichi! Ha ha, there's no need to scowl like that! I know you wouldn't dream of taking on the name. Well, if our paths cross in the future, let's do this again.

The Third Word Walkthrough
Boss Battle: Saika Magoichi
For this mission, your task is to simply defeat Saika Magoichi for the second time. He was previously encountered in the Main Mission: Pervading Waters, so fighting him for the second time will be easy for you since you're familiar with the same moves and attacks that he does, also, you've reached a high player level at this point. Watch out for his projectile attacks, once he flies into the air, hide behind the large rock to avoid getting hit by the projectiles. To learn more about this boss, click here or check our video guide for this boss that is linked below.
After winning the battle, you may acquire the Smithing Text: Greater Good Armor as well as other equipment and items. This will also complete the mission, before leaving the area, speak to him and a cutscene will trigger - you'll be possessed and obtain his Guardian Spirit: Yatagarasu.

WIKI says DIFFICULTY: 1
Me - DIFFICULTY: 100, as in it felt like I died 100 times to this dude.
100 battles of chasing each other around a giant rock.
The most annoying thing...Magoichi being smart as hell and launching a bomb at me before I can even land during my Quick-Change.
Like mofo, how dare you not be in position for me to drive me Axe into into your head lmao.
I can't do this mission anymore, it will just load forever
