Biology[]
Orcanos strongly resembles Gargaros, being an imposing figure with clawed limbs, huge fangs, and red eyes carrying a huge spiked club. Distinguishing him from the other oni are his black skin color and the pair of large, twisted horns coming from his head.
In his human form, he looks like an old man with a black and gold outfit, as well as two curved horns.
In Yo-kai Watch 2, Orcanos gains a softer, smaller, befriendable form, where the main difference has white and red tribal markings covering his body and face to further accentuate his intimidating figure.
Orcanos is the most ruthless Oni of all, chasing the player down and assaulting them with extreme prejudice. However unlike the other Oni, he will almost guarantee a free pass in the Yo-kai World while Gargaros needs you to complete lots of quests, Ogralus needs you to be honest, Orcanos judges you on how many battles you have waged, to the point where one would deliberately avoid battles.
Orcanos is the final terror time boss and has extremely high power. He is fast and can wipe the floor with a bunch of level 99 Yo-kai.
In Yo-kai Watch Blasters, he is able to swing his club in a twisting motion with so much power that he creates jet black tornadoes, as evidenced in his intro cutscene. He also has the ability to use black bombs against the player, either locking onto a player or dropping them around him. Lastly, instead of constantly being in his tribal markings, they appear when he transforms, boosting his Strength and Spirit. Though these are shown to be very draining, quickly depleting his stamina.
In Yo-kai Watch 3, he can use all of his previous abilities is the previous games. His only new skills are his iron tornado ability and covering certain squares of the board with a black substance, blocking any highlighted tiles where he would attack which forces the player to memorize the tiles he highlights during each attack he performs.
Profile[]
Yo-kai Watch[]
Orcanos is the Superboss of Yo-kai Watch, only appearing if Gargaros and Ogralus had been defeated prior. Defeating him is the only way to obtain a Holy Blade, the item needed to fuse Chansin into Gleam.
Orcanos is fast and can wipe the floor with a bunch of level 99 Yo-kai and also is an extreme wall having great Defense and very high Strength. As a Drain-type Boss Yo-kai, you can't nullify his damage as he has no exploitable weaknesses and he can heal up, making him hard to out stall although with his attack stat stalling is almost impossible. Orcanos has no weakness that can be easily exploited. He uses a combination of overwhelming physical and spirit attacks against the player and is the most difficult adversary in the first game. However his biggest and hardest hitting move is his 350 power Soultimate Move, Nightmare Beat, in which is almost a guarantee one shot on almost any Yo-kai even of the Tough Tribe with a bunch of defense boosts. However, like the other Oni, he does not use Inspiriting techniques, meaning that the three Yo-kai in the rear line can be dedicated to static support effects, such as Everfore, and to take Orcanos' Soultimate, like Goldenyan. A team of the highest level possible (preferably even 99) is recommended to take him on, along with a reserve of food, drinks and medicine to keep them alive. This strategy can also be used in Yo-kai Watch 2 as well, with the exception of the use of items in the Boss Rush mode.
However, Yo-kai like Robonyan have Soultimates that arguably cheese the fights, increasing defense with taunt, and they last long enough to always be active if timed correctly. At high enough levels, simply spamming favored decently-tiered healing items on your damage sponge like Fresh Urchins can fairly reliably carry you through the whole fight with little effort or strategy. This applies to Gargaros and Ogralus as well. Taunt is not necessarily required for this strategy, as Castelius Max works too, but it helps.
Yo-kai Watch 2 []
Before the release of Psychic Specters, Orcanos can be found in the "Irate Eight" boss rush, which is unlocked after beating Kat Kraydel.
With the release of Psychic Specters, he can be found in the Gold Gleaming Highway after you get a key from Mr. E outside of the old house in San Fantastico. You can go into Mystery Way but need to link Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls to Psychic Specters. You will eventually encounter Wallkappa by a door. If you enter you will appear in Gold Gleaming Highway. Go to the East and make the first sharp turn upwards and you will find Orcanos. Battle him, and you will have a chance to befriend him. Remember, because he is a boss, he does not accept food and can only have a raised befriend chance with popularity. After battle, he will not walk up to you like regular Yo-kai but instead change his dialogue and give you his medal. If the player hasn’t befriended him, they can repeat the process once a day until his dialogue has changed, or reset if you saved outside of the Highway and keep going until you befriend him.
Yo-kai Watch 3[]
Can be obtained in the Crank-a-kai using a Demonic Coin or the Oni Crank-a-kai. Alternatively, he can be obtained as a Clu-T-fact in Blasters T in the Pyramid of Clu ② and also can be found as a Sentinel Yo-kai in Enma Palace ⑥ and ⑦. He is also fought as the strongest Oni in Terror Time and as a boss in Blasters T in the first dungeon of Cluphinx Spade Mouth.
In Yo-kai Watch 3, he reuses his attacks from Yo-kai Watch Blasters. His attacks are as follows:
Iron Swing - Hits a Yo-kai for moderate damage.
Crash Landing - Jumps into the air and stomps the ground, dealing damage to all Yo-kai.
Iron Tornado - Spins around to create a tornado that moves diagonally. If he has war paint on, two more tiles will be targeted.
Cluster Boom - Creates four bombs that target fixed areas:
0 [] 0
[] [] []
0 [] 0
or
[] 0 []
0 [] 0
[] 0 []
If he has war paint on, an extra bomb will target the middle square.
Hack to Black! - Targets a random column and darkens it. This makes it harder for the player to anticipate where his attacks will hit.
War Paint - Dons some war paint, increasing his attack and the range of Iron Tornado and Cluster Boom.
Nightmare Beat - Targets a random Yo-kai for devastating damage. If the target moves, the range changes. Depending on which column the target is in, the Soultimate’s range differs:
Left Column:
0 [] []
0 0 []
0 0 0
Middle Column:
[] 0 []
0 0 0
0 0 0
Right Column:
[] [] 0
[] 0 0
0 0 0
Because one Yo-kai cannot avoid damage - and it will most likely KO them - it is recommended to bring Yo-kai with reviving Soultimates, such as Frogetmenot.
Yo-kai Watch 4[]
Orcanos can be freed from the present Crank-a-kai with a Gasha Coin, Five-Star Coin or One-Star Coin as a first prize.
He also appears as a secret boss.
Yo-kai Watch Blasters[]
Orcanos is a prize for the Big Boss Mission Hunt for Ultra Orcanos! as a Red Cat Corps 1st prize as well as Nightmare Evening as a White Dog Squad 1st prize.
In Yo-kai Watch Blasters, he can use all of his moves from Psychic Blasters, with the addition of his Soultimate and powerful black bombs. In his second phase, he can summon black tornadoes as well as become one himself. Once he gets to a certain amount of HP, he will don his tribal markings in a pitch black aura, boosting his strength and spirit. After a little while, this buff will fade, and he will tire out. Deal enough damage at this time and he will temporarily be stunned.
Yo-kai Watch Busters 2[]
Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble[]
Orcanos can be found in stage 15 of Terror Time, stage 30 in Super Terror Time and stage 45 in Ultra Terror Time.
