—Kageri Sendo



Kageri Sendo is a hostile female spirit in Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. She was a goth woman and intensive-care patient at Rogetsu Hall. Coming from a prominent family, her treatment was administered by her own family doctor, and staff at Rogetsu Hall were warned not to interfere. After losing her twin sister Kaoru in an accident (partially caused by Kageri herself), she made a doll in her likeness, and pushed it around in a wheelchair. The two would go for a walk in the hospital courtyard every day, and Kageri would "show" the doll the scenery, spending the rest of her time tending to the doll.

According to one of her letters, Kageri was a witness to the Day of Tranquility, as she mentions seeing a Woman in the courtyard with a blurred face causing people to bloom. She further mentions that she would like to go back to the beach. It is possible that she died from blooming while on the beach.

Battle[]

Like most ghosts Kageri floats, disappears, and reappears around the player. When she begins to attack she quickly floats towards the player.

The first fight is triggered when Ruka Minazuki attempts to touch Watashi, and Kageri appears saying "Don't touch me...". Kageri is fought in the Moonflower Garden and includes both herself and her doll Watashi. Initially, Kageri will be content simply hovering around and behind Watashi, who suffers no hitstun and will respawn whenever her health is depleted. Attacking and focusing on Watashi, however, causes Kageri to shift into a more aggressive enemy, and provides the player with much needed opportunities for Fatal Frame shots) and Shutter Chances. A possible way to fight the pair is to hit Watashi with Type-07 Film to provoke Kageri and swapping in more powerful films to respond against her. Be warned, however that Watashi may still appear and disrupt the player when they are busy taking combo shots on Kageri.

In Nightmare Mode, if one of them touches the player, it drains their health extremely fast. For Nightmare Mode, the Evade function is extremely useful. If timed quick enough, the player can side step it before it grabs them. This is probably by far one of the hardest fights in the game. This fight is very similar to the doll fight with Akane Kiryu and the Azami doll in Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly in the doll room.

The next fight is triggered by Choushiro Kirishima in the gallery.
