Template:Project improve adTemplate:IncompleteTemplate:Boss infoboxAsteroidean (「海星鬼」^?; Hitode oni) is a boss encountered in Ōkamiden. It was found deep within the 2D side-scrolling area of the Sage Shrine, in which Chibiterasu was accompanied by Nanami. It resembled a large starfish.

Bestiary entry

"The resentment of all souls lost at sea manifested itself as
this boat-sized starfish. Avoid the foam it spews from its mouth and its long
arms to protect yourself from being dragged to the sea floor."

Strategy

Asteroidean2 — Chibiterasu battling the Asteroidean.

Asteroidean mainly attacks with large water spheres that it launches at Chibiterasu from its tentacles, which must be dodged. It will also attempt to spin quickly and ram into Chibiterasu for heavy damage, during which it is invulnerable. The key to defeating Asteroidean is severing all of its tentacles; this is accomplished by a combination of attacks with his Divine Instrument or offensive Celestial Brush techniques. When a tentacles begins to glow red, it is a sign that it is about to be severed by Power Slash.

After all five tentacles are severed, the Asteroidean will be very vulnerable to attack. However, it will also gain a more aggressive behavior, and will move around the chamber while spinning more quickly and for a longer duration. Additionally, it will use its most deadly attack: a continuous concentrated stream of water, which tracks Chibiterasu's movements and deals heavy damage upon contact. The attack can be fired at any direction, so the safest method to avoid this is to encircle Asteroidean's body, as Template:Tt.

After Asteroidean is defeated, Chibiterasu and Nanami may continue into the Sage Shrine.

Trivia

-The Asteroidean mainly fights with large orbs that it throws at Chibiterasu, which must be dodged. It will also attempt to throw itself into Chibiterasu for heavy damage (it is invulnerable during this time). The first thing he must do is cut off all five of the Asteroidean's arms; this is accomplished with a combination of attacks with his [[Divine Instrument]] or offensive [[Celestial Brush techniques]]. When an arm begins to glow red, it is a sign that it is about to be severed.

-After all five arms are gone, the Asteroidean will be very vulnerable to attack. However, it will also become more aggressive, and will bounce around the arena much more wildly than before. In addition, it will use its most deadly attack: a concentrated beam of water. It will either fire it in a straight line in Chibiterasu's direction or follow him around. Chibiterasu most avoid this or else suffer a lot of damage. If the Asteroidean fires the beam in a straight line, it is best to get behind it and attack while it is firing; otherwise, avoid the beam until it ceases fire.
