Phases through your shuriken

>desu I thought the horse guy was more challenging.
What in the fuck? You literally just hold block and spam the grappling hook on him to kill. Butterfly is way harder

lifebar literally doesn't matter in the game.
its just a distraction.

the entire game is about whittling down their stamina meter so you can do the deathblow thingy x2.

Do you even feel any satisfaction when you beat games like this, or do you only play videogames because you want to be a part of the culture?

Attack attack, sidestep to the right, attack attack, sidestep to the right, repeat ad nauseam EZ GG

Yes the posture is the real life bar, their vitality only comes into play in making it easier/faster to break their posture.

I'm just busy and I want to be a ninja man without having to invest the prereq time to learn the timing for every fight. I can learn all the parry and dodge stuff at my own comfy pace. I get pleasure from playing the game the way I want because it's mine and I can spend time doing things the way I want to.

sorry not sorry.

That's a stupid alternative to getting satisfaction from cheating since he'd just lie about it if that was his motive. He probably just wants bamham press x to awesome gameplay and to explore the environment. He's a casual, not a poseur.

Protip:
Be Agressive. Don't do HP kill. Do a posture kill.

Attack, attack, attack, until she parried and then it's your turn to parry.

Always be aggressive, dont stop attacking her. If she's in the air shuriken her. Never have a moment where she dictates the rhytm of the fight. Beat her second try by just being relentless and im a horrible player (genichiro raped me at least two dozen times)

How do you best fight the huge man-babies? I always try to stealth kill them, but sometimes you are just fighting them.

They don't seem to have any decent weakness, and they are tough as nails to parry.

It's mostly parry, spam parry, then back off or jump when a perilous is coming. She usually does that after 2-3 parries. Resume whacking her after that.

you have to be way more aggressive. don't just hit her once to take away health then run away to try and do it again, lol

I feel like the bosses are the weakest parts of the game somehow. It's fun getting to different parts of the map by doing stealth kills or being spiderman with your grapple arm. But then these fucking fights show up and you realize that the health bar is superfluous and it's all about the death strike and now you just live in that boss fight for the next 15 to 30 minutes depending on how hard you get spanked.

FUCK YOU OLD LADY HAHAHAHA

For some bosses yes. But blazing bull, you get it down to 1/3 health and it literally falls on it's back and you can stab it. Lady Butterfly regens posture too fast until you lower her health.

It's not bad really since you can't just spam R1 unless you want to spend forever on a boss
You still have to do the mechanics you just don't have to waste time loading inbetween deaths

And don't bother with the ghosts, unless you need a spirit charm, they are a one shot but it was more optimal to just ignore them.

Someone should really mod her battle music and change it to this

Meanwhile this faggot with his big compensation dick stick is wrecking my shitter.

Am I too early? I used the bell immediately after I got it.

I'm shit and cannot kill the white miniboss thing after those 2 fags with shields
how do I do it?
I completed all the other from software games with relative ease but I can't even progress past regular enemies that I can't spam in this game

Just me, or does she always leave two-three ghosts up even after the majority disappear? Those I always feel inclined to kill.

stealth kill one of his hp bar off right away. kill the shitters around him. drag him to the bridge, there is a point he won't pass. then fight. jump when he does the thrust, parry the rest and kill the fag

Some bosses really feel like the stealth attack to start the fight is basically mandatory

Sneak one posture attack and dodge the stabs

This, you can't cheap out or summon like you can in the souls game. This game is harder and requires actual precision

Stealth and parries are the way to go for fatties. Just remember to reset your posture between his swings.

Blazing bull you are supposed to just spam firecrackers and bait it into environment interactions.

Definitely juzou...he’s a hit and run boss

Also, why the fuck is ghost monk impossible to deflect compared to the later monk?

I forget, did the old lady raise the mc or what?

not him but i cheated and made it so that i never lose shit when i die and its made the game much more enjoyable for me, felt stressed before but now i can enjoy the game the way i want to.

I just buy stuff before bossfights myself. No fear of losing XP if there is nothing to lose
I always need more of those charm things for the arm too, so I just cash out and buy as many as I can

One of my favorite fights so far and I'm currently at Genichiro.

Corrupt Monks hitbox is stupid as fuck. Even regular attacks sometimes go over your head and hit your back if you try to block it.

literally not memeing, how do I spend skill points?

You need scrolls first though, go back to the statue maker guy and he will give you skill scrolls

Why is her sweep so fucking fast

The one at Mt. Kongu, I think he was optional.

Then you're only starting, plenty to go.

Her second phase is fucking garbage

I don't have to find satisfaction from video games. I just play to realize my ninja power fantasies and get my actual satisfaction from real life.

Much like in real life, I like to challenge myself and constantly improve instead of stagnating and being complacent with mediocrity

Read the tutorials. If you can't kill the posture, drain their vitality by dodge-striking.

That’s pretty much the idea for most of these mini bosses. Half the battle for any of the enemies without the fog gate effect is just a puzzle on trying to figure out how you can stab them in the back before you fight them.

Stop trying to dodge it faggot.

can't do either when she reacts to me attacking with it

you mean youre a weak wimp autist in all aspects of your life and even the one kiddy tier hobby you invest so much time into that you hound enthusiast boards about it 24/7 casualfiltered you and forced you into cheating? "People" like this shouldnt be allowed to post here, go actually kill yourself

t. someone who realizes my power fantasies in real life and sees Sekiro for the brutal gauntlet it is, something far more satisfying and meditative than the arkham combat trinket you wanted dangling over your crib

The red warning symbol really isn't useful at all for anything but (most) sweeps because there can be so much delay on grabs and thrusts, just stay focused on her and you'll realize how incredibly easy and consistent it is to dodge it.
As for the sweep attack, well, I can't quite remember it but there's a pretty big indicator of if she's about to do it - I think it's if she hasn't jumped up for a while.
Also the dodge spam trick helps dramatically and there is no shame in using it.

>shurikens in the air (NOT when she's on her wires) do like a tenth of her vitality and a tenth of her posture if you get a dash attack in afterwards (not hard)
>second form gains an attack combination that always ends up a sweep that you can jump for 25% posture damage
>stomps are block-punishable but nothing else is
When you know a few basic tricks it basically just comes down to dodging / parrying her attacks until she does something punishable.

still a fucking bitch though

why is it that Yea Forums-babs always complain about the easiest most predictable bosses?

Eveyrbody read this guy's post he's probably a fromsoft dev in anonymous. Please create breakdowns likethese for the minibosses

PROTIP: Her first and second phases count as two different fights, if you're close to death in the first phase you can just let her kill you to get half of your health back, and you'll still be able to revive during the second phase

you can't hold back versus her, spam shift dodge and attack one after another or bust
2nd phase just run from ghosts until they despawn and repeat phase 1

Totally retarded way to play but it worked I guess

Where should I go after beating Genchiro?
I've already finished mt kongu I think too.

I got her every patterns down except her damn sweep because it can literally come out from every fucking moves.
That being said, it feels good jump kicking and demolish her posture on an off-chance I managed to predict it.

Are you people actually retarded? Do you not understand that posture is not stamina?

Attached: LjZ7Ey6K.png (447x478, 192K)

You can just keep attacking her until she parries you back so you can parry her and start attacking again.
I beat the fight dodging only her butterflies range attacks and parry everything else.

You need the Mortal Sword from Mt. Kongou and the Bridal Stone from the Undervalley Passage.

Thats basically what I did, I just don't really like playing that heavy rushdown style, I'm more of a patient player that waits for the right time to go for a big punish, so adapting to that rushdown heavy playstyle to counter her took me a bit

She's not even close to as hard to beat as the headless

This desu

By far my least favorite boss in the game. Completely irredeemable.

Beat her first time lmao. Git gud

Any time I see someone say they beat her on the first try, I know they play like a total spammy faggot since thats how you have to beat her.

I'm starting to agree, he doesn't feel hard, just really jank and poorly designed.
I guess every FROM game has to have one completely garbage boss with a shit method of fighting it though

>People whining about Granny
Wait until you get to Genichiro

Literally just chase it around the arena and hit it while it’s back is turned, then throw in some firecrackers. Took like two attempts.

Wait till you fight his apparition version lmao

Just dodge her attacks you whiny cunt. You dont have to spam.
Stay shit

What is jank about him? His ONLY gimmick is that its a fucking BULL so ofcourse you dont want to give him enough space to charge at you.

>people whine about granny and genichiro
>*laughs in double ape*

Granny first phase is easily done without taking a hit by attacking her until she blocks a hit then immediately dodge to her left diagonally, then attacking as soon as possible out of the dash, then attack until she blocks again, rinse and repeat. She might break out with a hop to a wire if you're too slow or doing something she never did when I did this, but this strat also works on the second phase but she will be able to break out for the illusion or by hopping onto wires. Also, shuriken-slash followup does good job on her.

That aside, where the fuck were the firecrackers? Fighting the bull without it turned into a real fucking slog of running after its ass and stabbing it every now and then as it was turning.

>Just dodge her attacks you whiny cunt. You dont have to spam.
The fastest and most effective way to beat her is to go completely ham with attacks and spam dodge to stun lock her

You mean the lotus version? Was pretty easy.

>That aside, where the fuck were the firecrackers?
You buy them from either of the crow guys that you can find up to that point, 500 dollarydoos for the tool

Oh my fuck, I completely forgot about that item after buying other shit. Well shit, thanks for the reminder user.

Anyone else find the game really boring compared to DaS/BB? The game feels very repetitive to me, both the environments and the combat.

Exact opposite for me, love the environments and the combat is a lot more engaging. I don't know how long you've been playing but for me it took a fair few hours for the game to really click.

Block her every attack, and follow up with attacks untill she will parry you. Repeat. First stage is easily beatable without taking any damage if you follow this pattern.

There's people who unironically died to the horse boss?

Its not immediately obvious that you can grapple him to be fair, he's trivial once you realize that

This was the first boss I did. Killed the old cunt after 6 hours. Got so good by the end that she didn't even touch me and the normal enemies are bitches now

I haven't played very much. I just got to the butterfly lady and fought her once. I dont know, there's just something off about it for me. I play for 30 minutes and just want to go do something else. Not saying the game is bad, it's just missing something for me.

An I the only one who just dodged everything and didn't parry anything? Didn't help that I went on with 1 attack power so I was barely scratching her

Is the shinobi axe in the Hirate Estate memory? Just a simple yes or no because I have been looking everywhere even though I have beaten the area a long time ago.

The game has 3 standout flaws, in descending order.

>Can only equip one combat art at a time
Really fucking lame and there is no excuse for this other than them wanting to keep the button layout simple. The game would be significantly cooler if you had all the moves at your disposal or could map several of them like Nioh

>Regular enemies go down in less than 5 seconds.
Since it wanted to be a mixture between Tenchu and Action Games slapped on the Souls formula, regular enemies are in this weird place where they are easy to dispatch with stealth thanks to the bare bones AI and quick to dispatch when in combat.

>Bosses are actually very exploitable
The bosses and minibosses are the best part of the game in my opinion but the more you play or see others play the more you realize that they made the rules a lot easier to bend and suddenly you find out that instead of dealing with the bosses cool moveset you could have just been mashing R1 and keeping it in an AI loop or interrupting every single move with firecrackers and not letting the boss do anything

All things aside though the game turned out a lot better than i was expecting. I'd say it's pretty good and unquestionably the best thing From has done.

There are two bandits that you can eavesdrop on standing right in front of a shrine

You have to get to it from the other side. Jump off the shinobi hunter bridge and look for a way to grapple up to that side of the cliff

you gotta get the mikiri counter, it makes him and all spear enemies real easy

Jump over the bamboo gate (to the right of the house the thief is looking at), the path through the bamboo is fairly obvious.

will be rough in boss fights because most of the time you want to posture-kill them instead of depleting their health

I played half the game like that and hit a wall eventually. Learned the game, started over and now I'm over halfway through the game in 5 hours with 0 deaths

shitbag zombie grandpa

It's literally just a spazzier Bulldrome, which was already a pretty basic bitch enemy type to begin with. Only instead of charge, gore, turn, it's mostly charge whilst turning. Which isn't much of an improvement.

The arena is so fuck huge that you can just back away and leave him flailing around like a retard. It does make the boss fight look like shit though.

Truly a masterpiece. I came buckets when I saw that.

Where can I find the merchant who sold that umbrella hat shield in the Sekujo temple?

Does Genichiro have any major weaknesses or do I have to parry most of his shit?

Parry him after a jump attacks he thrusts 80% of the time so be ready to dash into him and hit him to force into doing a basic attack that's easily parried and for the third phase when you see lightning just jump and spam attacks.

This. I basically sprinted that whole fight to bait and punish with double ichimonji and drill spear. Blocking was too sketch

>all these people beating her and Genichiro first try
I find this so hard to believe. They felt like the "learn the game here or give up" boss. The game became so much easier for me after beating Genichiro.

He should be next to the crying monk if you did the kite puzzle he's next to the idol in the cave.

So i just beat Genichiro and i unlocked the idol at the top, is this the point of no return?

What do you mean the point of no return ? For the next couple of hours you're just going to collect ingredients for the kid.

Thanks, yeah I had done the temple area already before finding him the first time.

Spam R1 and spam L1 when he spams R1. Won't even get to see half of his moveset this way.

Head this game has some points of no return on some corrupted monks or some shit

*perilous attacks you during your dodge button press*
Seriously, all this boss fight taught me is that I'm dumb and persistent.

Remember in the second phase of the figh that the first move he always does is the thrusting perilous attack. You'll be able to stomp on his little gay ass sword every time.

Oh at one point the castle gets attacked but it should happen After you go get the stone ingredient for the kid so not the temple area.

Idk why Fromsoft doesnt have a fucking boss rush once you beat these games. I dont want to fucking go through the entire game again just to fight the final boss.

>guardian's leap grab

The what?

Grab one of the trees or (don't know if the works because I just decided to tank them) get behind by rolling under.

Just run around until he leaves himself open and stab. Rinse repeat.

The one where he jumps and rolls into you grabbing you

I honestly don't know what attack you are even talking about. Is it the one where he slides the hand on the ground to catch you?

He has 2 grab attacks so no the other one.

youtu.be/IIS-ZtyO1_Q?t=156
found it. He usually does it to me after doing the first grab

Just beat Genichiro and there's a billion places to go. There's that abandoned dungeon, the depths with someone sniping me, some cliff area with these bandaged people, a pretty area with kung fu monks, and some snowy area but it seemed like a dead end.
What the fuck do I do? I think the story wants me to go to the area with the monks but should I stop by anywhere else first?

even DSP beat her user

are you worse than DSP?

I had to look up footage of it but it's just a really long telegraphed grab user. The warning pops 2 seconds before he even begins the attack and it will not connect for like 2 seconds more. You can just strafe sideways and dodge

piss easy due to a smaller space, jsut sit on its ass and it'll never hit you

Not hum, but I was the same and then it clicked during Butterfly fight, she was my first boss and I've wasted a hour and a half trying to play it like DS and then I had an epiphany and wrecked her ass. Been wanting to play non-stop since, but can't due to irl shit.
when Wolf said "Forgive me, Lady Butterfly" and stabbed her I came

You need the mortal blade in the temple and the stone in the dungeon so just choose one the dungeon area is a bit easier but one mini boss is a bitch meanwhile the temple has mostly basic enemies

inconsistant doing that, he'll sometimes do the trademark fromsoft lock-on turn midair

found it more consistant running under the grab, but even then he'll sometimes just 180 turn around midair

I already beat that guy but no he dives into you it's chained ogre levels of retarded

>he watches DSP
You're not in any position to be making fun of anyone

Took me about 10 tries. Get the ashina esoteric skill book and get the combat art from it. Whenever she starts a combo dodge back and do the combat art. Does massive posture damage and will usually get through and stun her. Also just run around the room during the illusions and hide behind a pillar when she kills them. I really didn't get how people are hard stuck on her.

Owl and Genichiro are kino boss fights desu

>use a fire resistance potion
>parry all his heavily telephoned attacks
>hit his face
I beat him in under 30 seconds.

>it's chained ogre levels of retarded

So piss easy and not retarded at all, got you.

You are just doing it wrong. I didn't even register that this attack existed until now, it's a non issue

Not him but I'm probably worse than DSP. Not sure how anyone could beat her in so few tries. She always gets me with a perilous strike but when I see others fight her, I notice that she never does it. I must be doing something extra retarded.

Dodge to the right, attack twice, dodge to the right, attack twice....

You're doing damage to his posture.

It doesnt do shit tho. You step on the spear, they put it back up making distance betwen you and them not even granting a free hit or anything compared to just dodging total fucking scam

How does it feel knowing you're part of the reason why that retarded faggot can still make a living by scamming children?

Mikiri his shit until he attacks afterwards then deflect. It's easy.

It does a lot of posture damage and you can do it over and over again since most of his move are thrust attacks.

Of course not, I don't play games for fun, I just play them to conform to autistic meta and minmax the shit out of it

There's another tougher version of the spear mini boss that you'll have a harder time to win if you don't abuse the mikiri counter.
Also you can always do a follow up attack even if he steps back by using the shuriken into forward slash move.

The parry is his mechanic. He will do the spear attack then he will follow up with another attack. You need to dodge into the spear then block the 2nd attack and he will fall on his knees, letting you get a few hits in,. This is different from most bosses so its basically his gimmick

It's good because it has 2000 years of active frames.

mikiri is only dashing into thrust attacks
sweep attacks are countered by jumping and then face-kicking for maximum posture damage
its just double tapping A user

That's the sign for danger, kinda like a spider sense. If only more people learnt to read the tutorials pop-ups instead of skipping.

Yeah, luring him away from the group is a must but fighting him on his own is super fun

>Always instinctively jump back against sweeping attack so I can never do the head kick move
I feel you, man.

You can level up before doing her (vitality and attack) if you go main route further

Who the fuck thought shichimen warrior was a good idea. What a fucking shit fight.

I boned outta there

Am I the only one who beat this game like it was Bloodborne? Did nothing but offlock dodging behind the enemy and maintaining constant aggression while parrying only when necessary

>Sweeps and stabs both have red text
My only real complaint. The animations on a lot of these attacks are very similar and you can have enemies do either sometimes from the same combo.

Nvm I just found a grappling point

did anyone else know the demon fight is optional? feels odd to make a fight like that optional

Yeah it really is a trash fight

Why odd? He's the worst boss and does not fit in this game.

You use the spear parry and then block his consecutive attack (usually a swipe) which throws him to the ground giving you free hits. Then just rinse and repeat until his posture goes up and kill him. You can also get a free sneak attack on him to take off his first bar.

You faggots need to adapt more, I got my shit pushed in 3 times and then when I realised this, I breezed through him

second last boss not going to use full name since it's spoilers

he's enjoyable if you stop playing the game like sekiro and more like dark souls, since it's clear he was made to be fought like it.

Don’t play it like dark souls, be hyper aggressive and parry after she parries you. Also you don’t need to kill the apparitions, just kite them into a corner and when she turns them into light run to the opposite side of the room and hide behind a pillar

Hes unironically harder than Lady butterfly, wtf were they thinking

The counter does damage to posture insted and you should only try to counter it when he does the spin animation with the spear

spin animation > block it > mash b to counter it

Thats all there is to it, otherwise you just dodge and move behind him. Also you can cheese it by stabbing him in the back at the start of the fight. It is a bit annoying to clean the mobs around him though when you die. Took me like 9+- tries

Why doesn't this shit game have borderless fullscreen? Why can't from ever make a decent pc port?

Sekiro abuses the "YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVER BUT I HAVE ANOTHER FORM LMAO" thing far too much. Like half the bosses in the game do it and it feels a lot less surprising or special.

They all say "danger," 危. There's no distinction.

you know you can sneak past them right

user, that is bad. Also, see this post:

Oh I already killed him user, the reason why i sometimes ended on stairs was I panicked and had to back up more and such. Like I said, you can do that by sneaking by and dont bother with mobs, but I just wanted to be safe. Also is this a sword mod? Didnt think that there were other weapons

Confused.

fkn retard. once she goes on the strings just walk into her so you end up below/behind her. most of the times she will go back down and you haver her ack for free hit and if she doesnt but does the grab you can literall side crawl it its that easy

It's literally never been standard.

DS4 works.

Or just shuriken her for free posture and hp dmg.

The snap seed clears a small area around you the best way to deal with the illusions is to stop her form casting it in the first place.

Literally killed him on the first try. Sneak attack, couple of Mikiri's, and he's down.

Is the second phrase more or less the same, but with illusions and a new move or two?

Yes she can cast he illusion spell and has some kind of homing missiles remember to throw shurikens when she jumps.

I have to say after beating lady butterfly, I started to enjoy the game. Its mostly because she teached me a lesson after beating my ass for +20 times. I never bothered to parry and insted I tried to do the dodge and such. Only after I forced myself to learn how to parry in this game and time my dodge, it became more enjoyable

Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 151K)

Friendly reminder that when she does the aoe attack on the ground that spawns the danger symbor, you can just jump on her and damage her posture

no clue, he was sitting near hidden forest idol, talked to him
he said "no more shamisen, you killed her!" maybe because I killed her without talking to her?

Is Lady Butterfly even a required boss? She was the first one I fought but after beating genochiro I can’t even recall a reason for going through the memory other than picking up prosthetics

No matter what you do she fights you and he was clearly being hypnotized or something.

You mean the double jump attack where you kick?

I'm pretty sure Hirata is entirely optional.

Hirata is optional but you get good exp and 3 really useful prosthetics out of it. It's also good training. I'm almost certain they added it because people were hitting a wall at ogre/general/horseman

Is there some kind of of trick to timing parries? I swear I’m pressing LB the instant before the enemy makes contact, but I still get hit. The only way I can get semi consistent parries is to double tap LB when my opponent starts to swing. But it doesn’t feel like Im reacting to my opponent when I do it. It feels like I’m guessing, if that makes sense.

So what was the fucking point of this Dragonrot when it doesn't even matter for the endings

This is what I mean with the spin, also all you have to do in this fight is to parry and parry only. There is no reason to attack that often because when you parry her posture goes up rapidly. Also no reason to even bother with illusions, just run away and hide behind a pillar

Well not much, you need to beat a boss first, after that you learn how to swim/dive

You can interrupt her first spirit summoning by simply waiting where she's going to land on the second phase and start wailing on her.

Defense was only the meta in Demons Souls and Dark Souls back when From had a vision for their games and weren't just pandering to the "HURR HARDEST GAME EVAR" meme, Dark Souls 2, 3 and Bloodborne are full of bullshit cancer because From got autistic about people using shields instead of rolling around like a fucking retard like they wanted

To add to this, parrying and rolling around like a retard has always been the most effective way to play, the issue is more that FROM gets pissed off that anyone would want to play any other way and continues to shit all over that playstyle, culminating in a game like Sekiro where its not even an option and you have to fight bosses exactly how they want you to

they aren't open ended though, they're all corridors

doesn't the grapple icon show up on him though?

Sekiro is a dance, and it takes two to tango. Be as relentless as the boss and you'll get into the rhythm of attack, attack, attack, parry, parry, attack, and so on. The fights feel ten times more satisfying that way.

It's a really really cool mechanic and something that is actually unique to this game as far as i know.

I had no idea thats what it was at first, you had never been able to grapple an enemy before so it didn't occur to me right away that I was able to do that

No
It's how you get them

I'm not mad, I admit she stomped me for a bunch of tries but I've been up all night so that's my excuse. The other one was easy, I'm just tired.

Mechanically speaking it's just a bad fight, it's just about parrying and little else. You don't have a lot of strats you can use unlike against Genichiro or whoever else.

No you can spam the parry button.

you're like 200 miles from where he should be, you shitter

Honestly there shouldn't even be a warning it makes it too easy.

I actually beat him about 1 hour ago that's why I said, But holy fuck his second phase is not fun at all.

Lady butterfly wasn't even that bad as far as bosses in these kind of games go.

Really, the whole game is learning when you should parry and when you should attack. Attack until she deflects you, then block and counter attack the minute she recoils, repeat. If she jumps on a wire, shuriken the moment she leaps off of it.

Why the fuck would I fight him on that tiny stair case when I just spent 5 minutes stealth killing 15 mooks so I could use the entire area to fight him?

More like why would you leave the plataeu he was on?

So how many the optional bosses are available before you take Genichiro In Ashina Castle? I dont want to miss anything.

Ape is easy you just deflect his overhead swing and get plenty hits in. Just dont be greedy or too aggressive

It's not the same door. Fade to black just masks the actual escape route.

>, it's just about parrying and little else
Corrupted monk can be beaten without parrying once, she's good because unlike a lot of other shit you can beat her however you want, especially since her posture is weak.

Dark Souls 2 has shit level design on top of shit world design. Sekiro is much more easy to accept in this regard.

and drangleic is a magical kingdom

How the fuck do you deal with Shichimen Warrior?

No fucking escape route extends that far, theres no room in the castle for it to descend down anyway

Ape is easy

Any tips with the Seven Spears Ashina dude?
I can mikiri counter him fairly easily but unlike other enemies he's put at a distance after executing it and pretty much recovers his posture immediately. Also he blocks everything so I can't wittle his health down to slow his posture regen.

pls

what are your 3 favorite hunters tools i mean shinobi tools?

How do you do the puppeteer? It always creates smoke instead.

"""Area Diversity™""" (aka slight texture and fauna change) honestly doesn't mean shit. Bloodborne and Sekiro have little area diversity compared to the other entries, but this just makes them feel more coherent to me. I hate when game just start checking off generic fantasy levels and nothing takes me out of a game more than stepping over some invisible threshold into "desert world" or "snow palace" or some shit like you're trudging through some weird Frankenstein world. It least games like Diablo 2 had the decency to make them separate acts travelled across distances.

what about ninjusto and battle art thing?

Anyone got webms of the mushin tree arts?

how do you even use the temple arts?

>people keep complaining about the bull
>reach it and beat it easily
>go look at videos of people fighting it online
>they stand in front of it and try to parry it

Are the people complaining about the bull literal retards?

shuriken
firecracker
axe
all of em's gucci

>distance
shuriken then r1 to activate the distance closer skill then wail on him again

yashakiri-confetti-pacifying
protip: mist raven completely nullifies his kamehameha
also RUN and stab his ass, his cast is canceled when you do enough damage so no big bubble of terrors

what are the firecrackers even good for?

>newfags complain about chained ogre
>boot freshly bought Sekiro
>get to ogre
>just treat it like a regular Souls / BB boss and absolutely buttfuck it
Yea Forums is retarded as usual, huh

You have probably 3 heals and 2 lives so its more like 6 mistakes

he's easy what do you mean

Get the scroll from the pathway near the main hall, left of daisoujou, it's a fairly linear path so it's hard to miss.

>Any tips with the Seven Spears Ashina dude?
Start with sneak attack, then follow up with axe flip.
Mikiri counter all of his thrusts, then be ready to parry again, if he doesn't attack right away keep up the pressure with the axe, don't let up and he goes down pretty quick.
I was bitching about him earlier in the thread too, he goes down pretty quickly you just have to keep up the pressure

I have no idea what the two red markers at the bottom left of the screen mean. Also, what does the dragon rot even do?

tfw i can't deicde if i like sekino or kinoborne better
sekiro feels just like playing bloodborne for the first time again

>what are the firecrackers even good for?
Staggering 99% of the enemies in the game.

Stunning everything?

>You have probably 3 heals and 2 lives so its more like 6 mistakes
I activated hard mode so her grapple and sweep always one shotted me, two mistakes still isn't great, either way I beat her without taking any hits earlier

it literally stuns 90% of enemies in the game
even some apparitions
makes corrupted monks an instant delete 1 healthbar with all charges of it

Instakill him with the anti-air execution

I'm a shitter who struggled with BB and DS1, yet I'm having blast with this game. I just got past the first boss, and the game is super fun and managable if you play agressively with parrys. This might be the first soulsborne game that I beat.
I don't understand the hate for this game

aren't they barefisted techniques?

How the fuck do I beat sword saint Isshin
I'm too slow

wait really? even the big enemies like apes? i'v been using the normal fire

I FINALLY BEAT GENICHIRO

how far in the game is mist valley?
and when do i get to kill that faggot snake?

perfect parries
learning patterns
the fact that you can get a free stab after his iaido straight line or cross
the fact that he always thrusts after kicking sequence

yah, i think iam done.
there is now way i am beating the fuckbird.

1/2 assuming you did every other miniboss and sidequests

holy shit you mean i'm only half done? i did everything else
just killed the headless monkey
i thought the game was almost over
guess this will be longer than the others

What's the name of the generic miniboss theme

You could grapple the chained ogre before which made that boss a lot easier too.

Yeah but like why does the vile hand fight have a fucking regular enemy in the room with him?
How the fuck do I even kill him

not true, they both accomplish the same thing. if you deplete vitality, it also opens up deathblow.

who here /savescum/ i hate farming to much not to

How do you lightning parry?

>confetti fucking shreds him like it's nothing
What the fuck
Thanks.

can you miss or overide battle memorys and necklaces?

Okay nvm I snuck and backstabbed the regular enemy and took control of him and raped the boss

if you do the true ending anyway

Are you about to get gangraped? FIRECRACKERS!

It's great
2nd phase was easier though

what's the best ninjutsu? i like puppeter
i used it on one of the big guys and he took out almost a whole bar on the samurai miniboss where you first find kuro

not sure how to do the true ending but i hope i do it right
glad but surprised to here
i thought i was at least 80% finished

thanks, useful comment

>Try to kill Shinobi in the well
>Half the time the camera loses lock and just aims me at a wall

The game is too lethal for shit like that to be acceptable. When you can be killed in just a few blows you really should have made sure the camera can work in tiny areas.

At least I could quickly run out again to avoid dragonrot.

Sekiro is the best
doll is still best girl though

is there a bloodborne aliens twist in this game?

what should i do with the guy in the dungeon? i don't want to send the monk or samurai to there deaths

You don't even need to learn timing.. Literally spam the parry button like a maniac whenever the enemy attacks you with parriable abilities. You will always parry at least 50% of the blows. It's fucking easy

I suspect that the reason why so many people have troubles with her is because they go into the memory right away but the progression makes more sense if you beat gyoubu first. I forgot about the bell and went there later with 5 flasks charges and the fight felt pretty fair.

Yeah, punches and kicks.
Completely worthless.

First part is pretty do-able barely any problem 1st phase, 2 seems like a snap seed feed and repeating P.1

In retrospect, thinking about it, From hasn't at all deviated from trying anything too different pulling almost the same stunts as DS and BB

I still very much love the game but FUCKING FROM

meanwhile, Miyazaki sitting on loads of everyone's dumbass cash is laughing his cheeky, fuck chink face eating Sushi

Fuck them actually

I think the only enemy you can't stagger with those are the headless apparitions.

>Thread turns rapidly into newfags and casuls asking for advice

Pathetic

Yeah

or you could learn the timing, you shitter

Why is there a chimp cowering in fear right next to the giant snake heart? Just for kino purposes or did I solve the puzzle the wrong way?

Fuck this shit, why im forced to farm divine confeti in order to do any dmg at all to her? Meanwhile even If I perfect parry her attacks my posture still gets kicked to 90% from a few attacks

What does the large fan prosthetic tool do? I'm trying it out and it does nothing

You can drop in on him from the hole above and get rid of one bar of health

I can't find the fucking monkey for snek.
I can hear the noise but where the fuck am I supposed to go to marionette it and bait snek?

I killed her without confetti, ur just bad.

That's literally what they're for...

you dont need a 'fetti

It uses your spirit emblems up

from the bridge with the snake head, drop down on the left side

The abduction fan?
Gives you free backstabs on mooks, you charge and release, and it turns the enemy around.

Have you never been in a souls thread near launch?
Its literally been this way since Demon's Souls.
Demons Souls threads were actually just comfy threads where we all helped each other out and talked about how cool the levels were since this was back before playing these games was more about posturing and waving your dick around talking about how you beat everything on the first try than actually just chatting about games together while having fun

Why can't I enter her boss room?

Turns enemies charging at you around which I think gives you a free backstab

Do I need to just drop?
I jumped a few times and just died there.

yeah just drop, it's just deep enough so you can't see the ground, but it's there

>sekiro STILL has "farm x item" mechanics after getting rid of levels
Fuck spirit emblems
Fuck confetti
Fuck pacifying agent
And fuck Sen Toss

meant for

>Fuck spirit emblems
can buy are cheap
>Fuck confetti
apparently can buy late game, 300g
>Fuck pacifying agent
can buy are cheap
>And fuck Sen Toss
why?

>Just attack her posture lol
Too bad posture doesn't take any damage. I parry it doesn't fill the bar,i attack it doesn't fill the bar. WHAT DOES FILL THE BAR? RIMMING HER ASS?

great game

I dont care if they're cheap
You still gotta farm for that shit

Supposedly you need to puppet him to get past the snake but you can do it without him.
