Sekiro thread

It's the dark souls of the dark souls genre

Dude it's the same way it's always been.

Just beat Genichiro lads, I fucking love this game, dsfags absolutely btfo.

U wat now?

I like that if you wan't to get a perfect parry you can't just spam the parry button since a bad parry does posture damage to you so it rewards skill and good reflexes

Secret door under the bridge, like at the beginning. Prepare your anus.

Beat him first try, but it was close. Spamming run to stay close to his anus really helped. Bloodborne taught me that from likes to punish people who try and create too much space between them and the boss, and if you hug this guy's flanks and legs you're pretty safe.

I'm tempted to buy it seeing as how Hollow Knight has me hooked on pure masochism. The question is if it's worth dropping 60 dollars right now for it?
I hear the combat is far removed from Dark Souls (aka focusing on rolling will get you murdered by a fatass weeb troll faster than he can yeet you into the abyss), but is there anything else that's interesting about it? Besides the stealth mechanics, though I kinda don't understand how they work

Beat it on my first try. Scared the fuck out of me as I was not expecting it. He got stuck in the corner and kept sliding and turning around, giving me ample time to keep whacking its face. Sprint and jump is all you need.

You can just roll towards all of his attacks and dodge everything. Beat him on first try will no gourd charges, and most of the other mini-bosses destroyed me.

Does dragonrot spread faster if I choose to resurrect?
I've been only choosing 'die' because I thought I could avoid the mechanic completely but it seems it still spreads anyway

guys how to I even fight big snek?

dying is literally what causes it you brainlet

Can someone who is near the end of the game help?
I'm back at the castle after the purple dudes invaded and I'm in coversation with Owl and the game makes me want to choose to obey Kuro or stay with Kuro. Is this how I choose the ending? Which is better?

So avoiding resurrect has been doing the opposite?
Fuck

It only spreads when you die, not when you resurrect

>everything kills you in 2-3 hits

I feel like this would be a very hard difficulty option in any other game

In another area you can now fight it again and in it's new second phase it summons a second ape.

Beat him second try, literally just run around him and hit his ass

the first phase is a gimme.

OH NO

Does the attack buff from that one consumable do anything against bosses? Are any consumables worth using? I keep forgetting they exist but some of them do seem useful

So is this game really worth the price then?

Kill them, you get booze

Reaching a point where basically everything is blocked by spooky ghosts and I have no more confetti.
Apparently the blue samurai dudes in the castle drop them but I haven't gotten a single one after multiple runs and no merchant sells it. Even Transient Curse wasn't this bullshit.

Is there a bug where Gyoubu refuses to die? I've death blowed this fucker 5 times or more and he just keeps attacking. Is there something special I need to do?

side with kuro - "normal" ending
side with owl - bad ending

So long as that price is $20, sure.

FUCK FUCK FUCK

Attached: NO.jpg (1920x1080, 539K)

I personally love the combat. Parrying is a huge deal but you also need to utilize jumping and your mobility advantage. The combat is so satisfying that I don't mind getting wrecked over and over again, and they generally put spawn points near tough enemies/areas so you can quickly get back into the action.

Still really early on, I feel like there's a lot I'm still missing. Like how do I deal with the shield guys other than waiting 20 years for them to do their charge move? Their shield bash is predictable enough to parry that I can deal with them one-on-one no problem, but there's ALWAYS two of them.

the fuck is this? how do you break AI like this? she never behaved retarded for me.

Name one (1) Miyazaki directed title not worth the price.

Old and busted

I love Kuro!

Attached: sekiro.jpg (1532x1324, 1.45M)

Do I die in either of them?

Under what bridge, there are like 30 of the fucking things. I can't even get into the fucking reservoir, I'm stuck at the castle statue.

This is drastically less casual than any Souls game I've played (never played Demon's Souls). The fact combat is orientated around parrying makes it much more difficult. Isshin is a MOTHERFUCKER.

Still can't get my DS4 working in game. Tried my v1 and v2 controllers, no work.

Tried every "fix" posted.

Tried wired/wireless/DS4Win/input mapper/steam big picture/exclusive

KB:M = nope

HAHahahahaaahahaa
it spreads when you die, the whole point of the mechanic is you are supposed to use it to go back to the idol to reset without getting hit. Or use it to squeeze out a victory if the mini boss is low. It's actually a really good mechanic. The problem is most of the from fan base is low iq.

Based.

Side with owl gives you bad ending, and there are multiple endings you can get if you help Kuro (game continues further if you pick that one)

It's starting to grow on me a bit. Still nowhere near any souls game

yeah i have no idea. the merchant that moves into the temple sells a note about them. i think what triggers them is when you pickup that scroll that has black mortal blade info.

Hide PS4 you dumbnut

Pirate nigger btfo

>Still nowhere near any souls game
Dark Souls 2 and 3 are pieces of shit; Sekiro is a fucking masterpiece.

You now realize that there is a save point and a clear path to every boss encounter without having to fight anybody.
It's a stealth game. You are supposed to be a fucking ninja

That's "exclusive mode"

Guess again. Me stating I tried steam big picture should have given you a hint.

You get the axe and you can break their shields.

The combat looks fluid as shit, that alone has me tempted to grab it right now.
Question remains as to if it still remains a challenge towards the late game, because as much as I like to have better ways to kill mother fuckers, I'd still like to get my ass handed to me throughout, rather than have a rough patch at the beginning and having it be easy shit towards the end

>without having to fight anybody
Except bosses.

>fall down hole in dungeon
>Dude shooting ghost heads everywhere.
What the fuck do I even do here?

>slowly creep around to avoid combat
>or retarded BLITZKRIEG to the fog wall
I honestly preferred the way previous Soulsborne games did it.

You have to deathblow him twice. So reduce his posture and stab him, then when you see red stab him again.

1. find axe
2. throw ash at them

Literally can't.

Maybe that guy who had all of Bamco against him and still made Ace Combat 7.

youre like 80% through

what does dragonrot do?

I gave rice to the old lady for the 2nd time, and now I'm supposed to make monkey dance. The snake inside the cavern is relentless, time to use puppet illusion on monkey and see if I can use it as bait.

You have found the secret area, right?

I get it now, I just figured it was the other way around with the game punishing you for choosing to resurrect constantly

>glitched AI
>l-look how easy
Also phase 1 which is just warm up.

Anything using that purple fire motif is considered a ghost/apparition and you need divine confetti to do appreciable damage to them

You can add non Steam games to Steam to get Big Picture.

It makes retarded faggots ask what dragonrot does

Is that a reward for finishing the area, or did I have to find it somewhere?

Progressively kills NPCs. Emma offers you a cure.

Mooks can get oneshotted and you also have the HP Regen on shinobi execution, the beasts later on are the hard part.

Run around the arena as much as the bull does, and use all your shinobi papers on shuriken. Running doesn't drain posture or anything, so use it more often.

I feel like every single fucking encounter in the game is pleb filter

Fighting the first guy again every time sucks ass, and the last boss himself has a cunt of a phase 3. It's tough

Nobody would ever resurrect and the challenge of retreating wouldn't happen if that was the case

Bait him to attack and when he's retreating quickly run to the left of the bridge and jump, you should be able to hook behind the snake

Is it worth using the dragonrot restoration immediately or just wait till you die more and then use it?

what is this comedy gold

If an NPC is afflicted with dragonrot does it get worse if you progress through the game or is it purely tied to deaths? Like say in theory an NPC has dragonrot at the start of the game and you go through the entire game without dying again would that NPC eventually die anyway?

HP on deathblow I'd the best skill

go back,you need the mortal sword
Remember where you first started the game?go there,kill the guy and keep going
at least i think this is the right way

It's not you fucking weeb, just spam the button as fast as your finger is capable of. The game really doesn't care much about parry timing.

Compared to Nioh and Ghost of Tsushima, it's the best game aesthetically, imo.

Yeah it's painfully obvious. Although Sekiro is harder than Souls and you'll have to unlearn Souls depending on your usual playstyle. Luckily I'm a major DMC fag and I love parrying so this was very much up my alley.

Pretty small amount but it still helps

if you die to any "boss" other than the shinobi execution ones you might as well uninstall

Game started out as the hardest From software title.

Just got the M.B and so far the hardest enemy has been the Armored Knight. Legit thought I was supposed to cleave his armor off with Spear but nope just got lucky on tossing his ass off the cliff.

Love the boss combat, don't understand how previous Soul streamers cannot grasp the combat in this, running away and dodging will get you killed more times than not. Stay in enemy's face all the time. Shuriken + RB Dash attack is legit best move in the game for every human boss.

its spoonfeeding

How to feal with caster in forgotten dungeon that spams purple shit? There are far too many projectiles.

If there is one good thing that came out of Sekiro, it is the fact is has exposed how Yea Forums is full of casual shitters who can't handle a little challenge.

yeah, the game is centered around duel-style sword combat. Most enemy types are humanoid weapon wielders with thrust, sweep or grab mechanics with different counters of which dodging is just one. In Souls games dodging used to be the answer for every attack type and it would have ended up the same if they gave your dash the iframes people were accustomed to in Souls games.

There are multiple hints in the game about this but I've yet to actually see an enemy who had armor that I could remove with the spear. unless it means the weak as fuck mooks who die to the spear attack in the first place. I've got both hearts, killed the monkey, killed all the headless, been mostly everywhere at this point.

>he's looking for a BIG GUY.
But everyone is big in comparison to Sekiro
Is it the fatty in Senpou?

So I just talking to Isshin and beat his grandson at the top of the castle. What do you anons recommend I do now?
Temple for the mortal sword?
Go the ashina depths?
Or go through the old graveyard?

Something really cool is that you dont have to go through a loading screen for npc events to occur anymore. I talked to the basket dude, went to the other side of the pond, came back and "it" happened, no loading necessary

Parry all her strikes, only move away when she winds up red sign attack. You can backstab her by crossing space by grappling trees and landing on Buddha statue.

Nvm just killed him. Sprinted around in a circle and jumped every time it charged, used firecracker every few passes to scare it. Pretty gay fight, it's not clear what kind of evasion works. Do I sprint? Do I jump over? Do I do a kickflip on its head? Do I dodge into it? Do I block? Do I parry?

Where do I get more Divine Confetti?

How are people struggling with horse guy? Beat him on my second try in like two minutes. Lady Butterfly was a little harder, took me about two tries. The only enemies I feel I can't beat now are purple guy and headless dude, I will just ignore them for now.

Where does blackhat move to in senpou temple?

>You need them for the best ending.
What else do you need

Just dodge into his thrusts and force him to do normale attacks by letting him block.

Cool, so there's no important dialogue during combat or anything right? That's normally the main reason I stick to English in most Jap games.

Yeah, I am six bosses deep now, that's the only enemy it seems to break armor on. Could be wrong but I think thats it.

Or maybe the black guy looking for the song, I honestly don't know because I finished both of their quests in a way which doesn't let me lend them to him.
Traders sell unlimited amounts once you get the item that opens up every trader inventory.
Can't remember where it's dropped though hehe.

You mean just blocking him and countering when I can? I can't remember the mechanic names.

You can farm it from the blue samurai.

Mortal sword the are is gorgeous and opens up and finishes two NPC quests

literally go wherever the fuck you want, the game is more or less structured as demons souls, all areas get harder the deeper/further you go

>DSP is the test if the game is actually mechanically hard or easily cheeseable
It's frightening how accurate this is, dsp is indeed a really good metric for that

I want people like you to die of slow heart failure.

It's not even that, it's the fact you can't spaghetti your way through the game by tapping the win button (dodge) for I frames all the time

>so there's no important dialogue during combat or anything right?
Correct.

Only them, but you gotta open up the option first from the cute resurrection shrine girl, the place is important for a reason.

Yeah, keep up the pressure by staying on his face, attack as much as you can and block(parry/deflect) as soon as he deflects your attacks.

How long until From patches the game for casuals to enjoy?

how get best ending

I didn't like the game at first, then I started trying to counter all the time instead of dodging everything like I did in the other souls games
it clicked

right click -> properties on the game and force input, if the controller works in steam it should now work in any game.

i cheesed the drunk
i dont regret it

I don't even know what I'm doing. I have two snakehearts but they don't do anything. I found the mortal blade but the little shit won't use it for some reason. I think I preferred it when these game had no plot to speak of.

He's on a ledge near the very first idol in the region. Travel to the ideal, jump down, then turn around and follow the slope downards. He'll be on the ledge on the left hand side (cliff side).

If you don't use stealth regularly, you're gonna have a hard time.

How do I get that sword on your back?

Not true.
It's the last new zone but older zones change even after it.
Yes, you can choose at the end, except for the early ending decision that's super obvious.

So how wired and supernatural does the game get? Because I like the look of it but the setting from what I've seen isn't doing much for me, but if things get bizarre I'm sure I'll like it.

You can sneak atack her if you rest in the idol on the far left of that zone, you have to kill the two mook guards in the tent everytime you try tho

Talk to Emma, she gives you a remedy.

Dude dragonrot is literally a non-issue later on, trust me.
You get so many tears to cure it, relax.

It's really not a big deal. The item to remove Dragonrot is dirt cheap and there's more than enough

I'm an old dude, I turned 31 today. I watched somebody on a stream getting one shot by a boss and this game takes the difficulty meme to a new level. I played them all(only finished ds3 and demons souls) but I don't remember them being designed like this, it was like "Dead lol". The shield was a good thing imho, slower speed was also integral part of the formula.

DSP is able to finish every game, video games aren't hard, if he quits the game it will be because he doesn't respect it.

Why do you care? Dragonrot is a non-issue

I must have been playing DeS very wrong.

I only used maybe four droplets to cure dragonrot and I'm near the end of the game. I have 7 in storage still

I'm not far in, but it's easier than Bloodborne so far. I beat ogre first try and I just beat Tenzen Yummy-Ouchy on my third try with no resurrection. Don't let the difficulty discourage you, the combat is extremely tight and responsive.

Didn't he dislike RE2 remake? His opinion is worthless. You're probably right too.

Dragonrot spreads on deaths but it doesn't progress. So if someone already has dragonrot, they won't magically get worse if you keep dying, their death timer doesn't speed up or anything.

What food did you buy?

I wouldn't worry about it, you can also reset it a number of times

yeah since apparently there are 4 endings?

>The shield was a good thing imho
Sekiro's sword has 100% physical block. It basically is a shield.

you get plenty later

Is it true that they gave journos copies with tuned down difficulty? No way all those blue checkmarks who whined about souls would have wrote that this game is easier than those.

Keep in mind that he has streamchat with him

He's right about RE2 being shit though.

He fakes it for views

This isn't a Souls game.

Yeah i did the other one normally, in fact i've just beaten the game. I could've done her without cheese but if i get the oportunity to cheese unfun bosses and i'm lazy i'll do it.

Not at all. It's an infinite item. Once you find the merchant hiding in Ashina castle and save him from guards he moves to the dilapidated temple and you can buy droplets from him for 180 sen.

Not much. Most vendors in the game sell it

You can literally press L1 or whatever to keep your guard up and block most attacks, it's actually encouraged to keep your guard up since it replenishes your posture faster

The biggest dissapointment about this game is it has an incredibly low number of areas to the point some late game bosses are fought in the same arena as early game bosses demon of hatred in gyobu arena, emma in genichiro arena, isshin in the prologue arena and so on its so dissapointing

RE2 remake was an 8/10 game, not shit by any means.

BB and Sekiro are top tier Kino

It's a fairly long timer that ticks down from the moment they get dragonrot. I don't know how long it is, but its pretty damn long.

I THINK the timer differs for NPCs though, because lots of people got dragonrot at the same time for me, and the wounded soldier and his mother were dead in their house when I went over there the next time after I healed it but other NPCs were not.

It's kino. Second only to BB.

You only need one you retard. One heals everyone.

Shichimen warriors and headless are the ones you need divine confetti and relaxing potion to kill.

I did, fucking kino fight. I got the sad ending though, wish i knew that you had to befriend the loli or something.

You consume them on use. Holy shit you're retarded.

There is more, you can always go exploring and come back later

Yes, though they did go Dark Souls 2 on the mini bosses.

>Have to kill them all beforehand and wait for the miniboss to de-agro
>Finally take one life bar away with a stealth attack
>Don't know the miniboss patterns, die

If they were 1v1s or at least if they had like 3 dudes with 'em it would be fine, but they went overboard with the gank squads Dark Souls 2 style. Other than that, the game is fucking amazing.

I hate any of the Apparition type enemies since it adds an extra layer of annoyance (confetti and Terror). I guess O'Rin is alright.

>attack power 13
how many fucking bosses are there? I've gotten the same amount of guards as you but I have 5 attack power

is there any boss (or major enemy) in this game that isn't reskinned from another souls game?

Yes, and in the second phase he gets a laser attack that's bullshit but that's about it
Does the divine confetti make you deal more damage to them or what?

Save your money and just play dark souls 3 with a katana, no vitality and max endurance

I'm beside myself with whether or not FromSoft should rebalance the bosses and mini-bosses from my kneejerk day1 reactions to them. I get that they want you to aggressively break their posture, but bosses and mini-bosses take so little posture damage and they shrug it off so quickly that I'm beyond fucking irritated with the game. It isn't fun. I cheesed this bitch here and I feel no remorse. She took no posture damage whatsoever and would two-shot me with any combination of attacks and there is so much prediction involved that it isn't funny. I get hurt even when I see an attack coming, you have to guard before they swing sometimes.

That said, I realize that I'm bitching about a game way too soon. Maybe there is something I'm missing or just need more time to get better at the game.

Another lie

Use Divine Confetti. It greatly increases your damage to hp and posture to them and lets you pop their orbs with a sword swing. Chug a relaxing potion and Ako Sugar (attack increase) along with confetti then BUMRUSH HIS ASS. With Confetti you'll do enough stagger and posture damage to stop his casting. After a few hits he'll back off and turn invisible, do not follow him or he'll backstab and kill you. Back off instead and wait for him to re-appear in a a different location. Once he does, he will gather energy and do a laser beam attack thing. With Confetti active, you can deflect/parry it and take no damage. Do so then RUSH HIM again. This time his posture will break and you can execute him. Repeat one more time for his second health bar.
If you're fast enough you might be able to get away with using only one Divine Confetti, but I found I needed two. Also if your terror bar ever gets near finishing chug a Relaxing potion immediately - it instant kills you.

Am i the only one who think there's too many mini-boss
In Souls and BB there was a good balance between combat and exploration, but here you don't have any room to breath
you beat a boss there's another one just behind him

the game is just shallow and jank and fuck. it's poorly designed which is why you can cheese everything.

I hate how nobody's calling out the terrible upgrade system for literally being a skill tree as if we've all collectively forgotten why we've moved on from those. Thanks for forcing me to buy all this useless garbage and make it so i'm stuck with the base prosthetics for 70% of the game because somehow scrap iron is one of the rarest materials despite needing it to progress up any upgrade tree.

How do I deal with the big armored knight in the bridge tunnel thing? Does chipping off his armor with the spear works? The prosthetic description says it only works on a shoddy looking armor but the guy is wearing full plate

That's almost every souls boss though

The skill tree is AWFUL. Why are mandatory skills like the upgraded Mikiri counter and the deathblow heal locked away? It's not like the game is easy without them. Also why is from so fucking stingy with healing items? It drives me nuts. I'm having a real love hate relationship with this game because for everything it does right it does another thing awfully wrong.

You ALREADY HAVE ONE IN YOUR FUCKING INVENTORY GOOD GOD YOU'RE RETARDED
ILL SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU
TRAVEL SOMEWHERE ELSE
PUT DROPLET IN STORAGE
REST
TRAVEL BACK
DROPLET AVAILABLE AGAIN
jesus

I've never played a Souls game, but I thought I'd give this a try because I was nostalgic for Tenchu.

So far the only bosses and mini-bosses I've beaten are:
>2 samurai generals
>1 ogre
>gyoubu
>1 shinobi hunter
>blazing bull

And now I'm stuck at this faggot general with a spear that guards the little building from the prologue.

I'd be fine with these bosses if I didn't always have to painfully clear the area so his little faggot cronies don't fuck me even harder when I'm trying to beat the boss. At least Gyoubu was fine in that regard. But here you have this spear faggot and Juzou, who have a fucking small army with them that you have to dispose of so they don't swarm you. It's just so tedious.

Maybe I'm just growing out of video games now, but each and every time I die and have to do all that tedious shit over again so I can have a decent attempt at the boss again, I can't help but feel like I'm wasting my time like an idiot, especially since I have class assignments I could be doing.

And I've seen other bosses ahead of me like the fucking giant monkey or the homo bow guy that cuts your arm off (who has two phases), I just know it's going to be hours and hours ahead of me of constant dying and trash-clearing for each attempt.

I'm probably going to drop it, because I know for a fact that I just don't have that time to learn the patterns of these bosses like I used to. Which is unfortunate, but that's the nature of the beast. I'm probably just growing out of the medium as a whole. But oh well. Good game, don't have time to get good.

Agreed. Some awesome ideas but uncharacteristically regressive game design elsewhere (fucking skill trees? Really?)

Based and Niohpilled.

The sculptor says he won't die from dragonaids and take that for good. I died a lot and people are still just coughing.

the problem is THEY DONT FUCKING EXPLAIN THAT DUDE

Stopped reading at your shit boss list because your opinion objectively has no value for being like 10% through the game.

>PUT DROPLET IN STORAGE
Show me user, how do you put things in storage?
I'll wait.

kill those two,behind them there's a grappling point

where do I get the pure white flower lads

You can buy the droplet regardless if its in your inventory. It gets moved to your storage instead. Are you retarded?

I can picture him saying 'nothing i could do' after dying.

Yeah and if he can't do that, he sure as shit isn't beating Sekiro bosses.

Good god WHY DOES EVERYONE FUCKING THINK THE SPEAR WORKS ON THAT GUY

NO
NO IT DOESNT
IT SAYS VERY CLEARLY POORLY FUCKING FITTING ARMOR
THE KNIGHTS ARMOR IS OBVIOUSLY NOT POORLY FITTING
YOU KNOW WHAT POORLY FITTING IS? THOSE SHIT BREASTPLATES THE OGRE GUYS WITH THE BELLS HAVE, NOT THIS
JESUS FUCK

Also you're supposed to let him destroy the walls then kick him off the bridge via breaking his posture.

even the graphics look so much better lmao. I've noticed sekiro shills are largely also dark souls 2 fanboys. really makes you think.

The skill tree is alright, it's not good, it's not bad, it's just there for the sake of being there
