Biwa Boku-Boku Description

"Pronounced "BEE-wa BOH-koo BOH-koo." A yokai taking the form of a monk playing a biwa lute. The biwa is the yokai itself; the "monk" is simply a reflection of Hoichi, the biwa player whose unwise dealings with restless Heike warrior spirits cost him both his ears. Lures intruders deeper into places of evil with its eerie melodies.

The second part of the name is said to refer to Bokuba, a famous biwa lute in ancient Japan. Tunes played on Bokuba had the power to summon and bewitch spirits and yokai like the vengeful Heike warriors who attacked Hoichi, and even to recall Revenants forth from their bloody graves."

Combat Information

  • Does not attack, but summons Oni-bi, and causes Revenants to autospawn from their graves.
  • "SHOOT THE LUTE" - Critical hit is actually the instrument itself. Arrows, Ammunition, projectiles, etc are highly effective.
  • Does not respawn, making suicide rushes to kill it a distinct possibility if it impedes progress.
  • Bullseye : this mob's bullseye is the guitar ( Biwa ), not the head

Notes & Trivia

  • 琵琶牧々(びわぼくぼく): Biwabokuboku - Lore description.
  • Revenants are awoken from the sound of the songs the yokai monk plays.
  • The Yokai is the Biwa itself. Use a bow to shoot the strings from a distance.

      During the Bearer of Ill Tidings twilight ission, the one just outside the boss room DOES respawn when you use the shrine. It might be because it is a twilight mission, it might be even more specific than that and I really can't remember the other areas. But that one did respawn every time I rested there.
