Saoirse is the Guardian Spirit of William, the reason for his everlasting life.
Guardian Spirits can be chosen to provide the player with certain benefits.
Activate Living Weapon by pressing △ + O (B + Y on Xbox/Steam controller) when the Amrita Gauge is full.
Description
Aquatic guardian spirit that resembles the Merrow of Celtic legend, with feathered wings and a fish's tail. Saoirse can warn of impending danger and sense Amrita. She has been with William since he was a child, and is both friend and family to him now - or perhaps something more. Her name is pronounced "SEER-shuh" and means "freedom" in Gaelic.
How to Obtain
- Omi Region, Main Mission "The Demon King Revealed" - Mission Level 135
Strategies and Notes
- The Guardian Spirit Talisman effect involves Saoirse flying towards the target and building up a large splash attack. The charging takes some time, but the spell deals a lot of Water damage, and the player is allowed to perform actions while the spell is charging. Saoirse will also grant a buff that increase the Amrita Gauge Rate, and makes Amrita appear when you hit enemies.
- Saoirse offers a persistent Divination Talisman effect, though she lacks the Kodama Sense.
- Saoirse has an excellent Amrita insurance effect, one that's superior to that of Narikama Tanuki.
- Her talisman effect and high Amrita Gauge Rate make her excellent for filling up the Amrita Gauge and triggering the Living Weapon. That being said, Saoirse's active Living Weapon doesn't last long, and is relatively weak.

Her buff is the same as Extraction and Pleiades but doesn't benefit from anything you've got that increases its duration. Her buff will actually override Extraction and Pleiades with her shorter duration, so if you use those a lot, Saoirse's buff is a straight downgrade.

One man going on a journey through Japan, partaking in wars and demon slaying, to rescue his waifu.

One of better Spirits, for certain! Infinite LW lol. She is a truly worthy reward for finishing the game.

The fact that she has the shortest living weapon duration is negligible by the fact you can use the buff from her spirit attack to extended the duration beyond any other guardian spirit. The buff also helps recharge living weapon.

So since she speaks Irish Gaelic, and looks like what a Skandinavian mermaid would look like, a fun lore theory behind the guardian spirits might be that they all are mythological creatures from all lands. Like, if Team Ninja really wants it, you could have a Satyr guardian spirit, a Manticore guardian spirit or even a Gnome guardian spirit.

Is there armor that benifits her? Like how Demon King set benifits attack and defence when Tengen Kujaku is used.

I see people saying you can use infinite living wepaon with her, how does it works?
Saoirse is acquired by completing the main mission The Queen's Eyes.

If you know how to use her, she is OP. In fact I would argue that she is the most powerful of all the spirits.
