Requirements for encountering the two bosses

1. Confrontation with this two bosses is only possible if in the final part of Act 2 in Kyoto you chose the faction of the shogunate supporters (purple dialogue option).
2. You will start The Ikeda Inn Incident story mission, which is about searching for Teizo Miyabe. You need to get to the higher floor. In the place shown in the picture, use the banner to rest and save your progress. Proceeding further will trigger a fight with 2 bosses.

How to defeat Teizo and Kogoro?

1. Once the fight begins, focus on one of the bosses. You should lead to a situation where you fight with only 1 opponent.
2. Teizo Miyabe uses a flamethrower in addition to melee weapons. Avoid fire as much as possible, so as not to receive a negative status and not start losing health points. Move out of the flamethrower's range, or quickly perform a sprint or a series of dodges to get behind the boss's back (Miyabe cannot turn around quickly when he is using the flamethrower).
3. Attack Teizo with a melee weapon to prevent him from using the flamethrower. He is relatively easy to attack. Charge his panic meter so you can use critical hits.

1. Kogoro Katsura uses melee weapons from the beginning of the fight, performing a series of regular attacks and red attacks. The latter often occur immediately after the normal attacks, but they are usually not difficult to notice and stop or avoid. The exception might be when the boss jumps into the air (the image above) - try to move away from the spot where Kogoro plans to attack upon landing.
2. The boss can activate Ki Blaze - focus on depleting his ki bar to prevent him from performing further strong attacks. If your hero has Ki Blaze ready, use it, and you will quickly end this confrontation.
3. After the fight, there will be conversations, as a result of which Miyabe will die in the explosion of the inn, while Katsura will manage to escape.
