This is where i've dropped this game. I've played all From's games (DS1, DS2, DS3, BB - and i loved them), bought them both on PC and PS4, but this garbage boss right after the Genichiro fight made me quit this *****ing game completely. I deeply regret wasting my time and money i've put into this game. This is probably the last From's game i've bought, sad because i used to be a fan of them. At least Dark Souls and Bloodborne were fair. Wasted 10h on this boss and i am dead inside to say the least... Good to luck to anyone through, who will attempt to fight him. I don't think luck will help you tho..

I beat his first phase in my second try a minute ago, and I reached midfight of the headless phase Learn the patterns, learn to parry and when he goes for the grab, jump on him. When he jumps on you, evade. When he throws a rock, either try to move behind him (if you are close) or jump to a side when the rock is comming Also the umbrella blocks the scream on headless phase.

He’s easier than Orphan once you realise to keep some space in 2nd phase, stick to his back, be wary of fear aoe and always run away, and parry long slam so he can lose balance and you can get those sweet hits

Counting both fights it's technically four phases.

I have spent 3 and a half hours on Owl 1 and died over 200 times. Everyone has dragonaids, including people I already healed once. Mistiming a parry means my posture is fucked and he has one move that does 80% of my health.

why does everyone complain about this boss? he was so easy I literally one shot him and one shot him again when he came back to life. All of his moves are parryable and you can even set him on fire like what the fuck if you can't deal with this ape GL with you gotta fight 2 of them.

What's your favorite armored core?

Dude, if you die that much to a boss it isn't a matter of being better than you, you're just not trying to learn anything.
I died to Owl 1 a eight or nine times too but I did take my time to look at what I was doing wrong, spending nearly four hours on a boss fight means you're just bashing your head against it hoping the gods help you out.
I wonder what you'd do against Demon of Hatred or Sword Saint.

what are you having trouble with
genichiro and phase 1 isshin are walking spreadsheets but phase 2 and 3 you just have to play honest sekiro and bait thrusts to mikiri

There's a secret art which essentially takes all your posture damage and puts it on the enemy.

not our fault "actual" threads are boring as shit

I mean a majority of the former monks and residents are corrupted due to their desire for immortality. If anything, you’re doing a favor to any sane monks by killing their corrupted mates.

My reaction times are not that great, they never have been. I try to parry him, but end up losing all my posture after a couple of misses. The only other thing I can think of is running around trying to bait him into using the 2 shuriken and jump attack. Even that has issues as the arena isn’t large to get completely away from him

See now that user is right about you not looking at his attacks carefully. That jump attack you mentioned? You can run towards and then sideways from him, it'll completely miss you and you'll be in position to hit him. Twice even since when you get him on his back he usually takes 2 hits instead of 1.

Owl like most other bosses is 50% reactions and 50% observation. You can make up for bad reactions by finding out how to evade, counter or retaliate his moveset.

Is Owl the start of the last act of the game? Try to figure out if I can finish it tonight

Maybe I wasn’t clear about my post. I WANT him to do that for that exact reason. Plus you can extend it a bit with the fireworks. And get him to use them against you, which can be punished. Despite how badly I’m playing, I’m not a total idiot.

the giant rice hat

no

if you've done everything else already, you have 3 more bosses left

perfect thanks

you can bait it out by running medium distance from him with feather equipped
if he does the long dash run to the side in a semicircle to avoid it unless it's the dead on one that tracks in which case activate feather, because parry isn't fast enough to deal with it straight out of a sprint

eff pee bee pee

The monkey is fucking easy, stop rolling away and just parry the attacks.

Well then you're halfway there already. Figure out the rest of his moveset and beat him.

I will say this after beating Owl 2, he is in general a bad boss that takes what you've learned about how to play the game and tuns it completely around on you. Both versions of him.

That 1kunai into big ass sword slash that takes a chunk out of your posture and sends you reeling? You can actually dodge it, block the kunai and dodge sideways but TOWARDS him. A 0 i-frame dodge works on this slash. Why? Bad design. Game teaches you to never try Dark Souls bullshit like that ever again and decides to bring it back because lmao why not.

Anyway good luck, you'll get it eventually.

Don't forget you also fight the drunkard 3 times.

>A 0 i-frame dodge
Dodges have I-frames.
Before talking about bad game design at least try to pretend you know what you're talking about.

there's also another optional boss, but you can continue playing after you kill the last boss

Show proof.

You can literally phase through shit like arrows, bullets and even swipes if you time your dodges correctly.

>and even swipes
Please show me how to dodge Ogre grab. Not outrun, dodge.

The margin of error is so fucking minute. Missed the shuriken slash dodge? Say goodbye to either 80% of your health or posture.

>3 times
??? I only fought him twice wtf

you can iframe some of owl's attacks with dodge. i did it with his firecracker and his slash by accident a few times but in general the skill floor on dodging with iframes is too high to bother most of the time

>not outrun, dodge

Just hold the dodge button and outrun the grab you idiot. It's a fucking white male, he's got a lot of reach and a half-step to the side isn't always the best way to get away.

Why the fuck would you quit after Guardian Ape, of all fights? It's basically a Bloodborne boss, it should have been easier for you if anything.

You are horrible at this game.

Should I give the old lady rice? Seems like special rice, not sure I want to hand it off to a creepy crone.

Were they talking about him? He's nowhere near where those guys are, and didn't they mention being able to take off his armor pretty easily? With the spear that's just past them? Which you can't do at all? Even though it seems like you should be able to? Whose armor does that spear actually 'tear off'?

You can ask the divine child more rice after you give it away.

>what the fuck did the monks do to him?
Probably died, he's not among the infested, unless he took the votes and became one of those monks, even looking at the corpses there's only japs in there.
There's also the invisible ghosts of the children in the hall of illusions, so who knows.

Who do I give the Dragon Tally Board?

Attached: 1304851630352.jpg (152x158, 10K)

The magic kid has infinite rice, it's her powerset. You can simply have one at a time.

Also, the crone knows many a thing. Suspiciously so, I think she is an agent of the divine.

Divine loli can make more when you use it up. Grannies will give you cryptic hints on how to get some items for the true ending when you feed them rice.

Has a version of this been made for Sekiro yet?

Attached: git-gud.jpg (850x328, 116K)

this. I also kept looking for the guy to tear the armor off from, and this one aint him

We’ve established that fact already, thanks.

Ah I see, is there anyone else that will take the rice? Giving it to her feels like she's just going to give me a hint to get the fruit which I don't know I want.

>the monkey that Emma spoke of is the Sculptor
That kinda surprised me

Your issue seems to be that you're just shit as parrying, which is the key focus to the combat in this game. Either learn to parry or stop bitching.

Only her afaik. She does give you a hint and nothing else.

You don't get locked into an ending by doing the quest. Doing the quest gives you the option to choose the ending.

Wasn't really surprised because I gave monkey sake to him before and he talked about his shinobi days.

I gave it Isshin instead.

they are talking about the fat guy using bell as a weapon

down him in like 4 trys, and still think is one of the best boss miyazaki has ever done, you are just a shitter and you should know how to parry at this point in the game

You can kill monkey number 2 by throwing four firecrackers at it and getting a deathblow, then you just need to fight grape ape alone again

>he doesn't read it as fuh puh buh puh

Holy shit this is Every Boss is Harder Than Orphan of Kos: The Game. I've just beaten the real Corrupted Monk. What the fuck were they thinking? Who the fuck is this game for? Superhumans?

If your really struggling then run in cirles and bait his slam them hit him and go back to running, or if you can actually play the game and just keep fucking up then use the mist raven prosthetic to get behind in and land hits.

I finally killed that faggot Owl

>I've just beaten the real Corrupted Monk

You can eavesdrop on Emma and the Sculptor talking about his days as the "Orangutan" by sneaking around to a hole in the back of the shrine.
This also explains why the Demon of Hatred looks like a big red/orange ape.

I didn't even need to parry to kill this boss, he has hella predictable attack patterns so long which you can easily run out of - couple that with an attack every time he finishes the pattern and do the same method for when he's 2nd phase and it's an easy win. Beat that fucking ape into submission my dude

The apes are some of the easiest bosses in the game. Phase 2 is even easier, which makes double monkey trouble trivial.

At least complain about one of the garbage fights that's just about mashing your face into the boss's attack patterns until you find the points you can parry and safely deal damage

This game is really, really beautiful and the boss fights are awesome but why the fuck is it so hard? I've beaten all 4 Souls games and Bloodborne but this game still rapes me in the ass

>why the fuck is it so hard?
Because you can't rely on statistical superiority or decoys.

Why do people act like this game doesn't have iframes?

>some japanese little girl acting as as Virtual Youtuber already beat the game, while Yea Forums poster can't even beat a simple patterned boss

It clearly doesn't. This game forces you to block

and what's wrong with it?

I have proof of iframes, if you actually want me to post it.

Isnt isshin basically 'run around until he does his jump attack, then you run forward and do 1 attack, then back up and run around again, rinse and repeat for 20 minutes'?

BLOODBORNE 2 = CONFIRMED

Nothing I'm just saying. It's a great mechanic especially when fighting humanoid bosses

Cope.

it's magic miyazaki ain't gotta explain shit

because the black blade can open a portal to the underworld
there's a text in the game that tells you that

THE BLOOD
OH IT SINGS TO ME

It works better on larger enemies/attacks.
The Isshin boss fight is a good example, his normal attacks are hard to Iframe through, but his wind AOE and spear attacks are really easy.

The real question is why does Isshin fight you? Is it to avenge Genichiro? Is he thirsting for power now that he's young again? He was a cool dude when he was an old man, I even gave him sake.

That's the strategy for extremely bad shitters who have no idea how to play the game at all and completely suck.
If you actually know how to play the game and understand the mechanics then Isshin takes like 4 minutes.

it's from miyazaki ain't gotta explain shit

Fuck do I have to fight this faggot again, I just spend 2 hours getting that fucker down on the rooftop. That was a game of patience, the slightest slip of the controller could fuck you up (also before killing him I got him to like 10% of his phase two health bar and got to cocky and fucked up).

Guardian Ape is ANTI FUN. Compared to Genichiro which is a great boss fight. Sometimes they let the DUDE MAKE IT HARD meme hold back their game. Guardian Ape is just designed to frustrate. Reminds me of DaS2.

how do i get back to ashina outskirts once the endgame starts? some mini-bosses i missed

it was genichiro's wish and he loves fighting

What's weird is this is the most dark souls style boss (that I have encountered so far). A giant beast you want to avoid his attacks then you come in and counter attack.

yeah thats the only explanation i have for why you fight young isshin

old isshin hints at having regrets in his past, the only way he established ashina in the first place was for his relentless search for strength in his younger days.

he doesnt agree with that sentiment now, but genichiro certainly does. thats why the boss fight you may 'kill' genichiro first, but he's the one that brings in someone else that can do a better job of defeating you.

He wants to fulfill his grandson's wish now (somewhy). Says so himself.

No reason, he just saw how good of a warrior you were and wanted to fight you.

My guess is that given how he was summoned by Genichiro killing himself he's bound to obey, that's why he calls him foolish while he doesn't show any open hostility or hatred towards you, instead he expects you to fulfill your duty.

yeah it's a dumb "twist" with literally zero foreshadowing. I like his boss fight but there's no reason they shouldn't have just made it 4 phases of Genichiro, and make Isshin a secret boss.

Owl 2 is before the True Monk?

Only if you want an alternate ending, Owl 2 is optional. He's harder though, probably the hardest I've played so far. You'll have to re-learn 80% of him since he does new stuff.

Owl 2 can be done right after Owl 1 if you do the right steps for him. He's optional, a requirement for 1 of the endings.

The black mortal blade links to the underworld, that coupled with the dragon's heritage blood on the blade from cutting the kid and Genichiro's body as a catalyst summoned Isshin back in his prime, with immortality to boot.
He then fights you cause he likes fighting and though he thinks his grandsons an idiot and doesn't agree with him he just got back into his youthful body, the blood was pumping for a good fight with someone he respects and that's why he sits down telling you to execute him when he's defeated.
That or Miyazaki magic is at work and he don't need to explain shit, pick your poison

>there's no reason they shouldn't have just made it 4 phases of Genichiro
But we already fought three phases Genichiro before, that would be recycling overload for a game that is already full of recycled content.
I'd say it would be better to just skip the Genichiro phase entirely, were it not for the fact that I like him a lot.

Lads is there anything that mitigates moving slow around headless, or is it just chucking pacifying agent and swinging with divine confetti? They just ain't fun to fight - are the rewards worth it?

His red jump is SO FUCKING LAME AND CHEAP WHO MADE THIS TRASH GAME EVEN?

>Lads is there anything that mitigates moving slow around headless
Hit him a lot and the slow AoE aura gets dispelled for like fifteen seconds or so.

Kratos Kong is fucking no joke.

What about tenchu 1 2 3 fatal shadows, that other one nobody liked and kuon?

Infinite versions of the sugars that cost spirit emblems to use, and the best way to kill em is literally just go unga bunga with divine confetti to dispel the fog. Jump to move away from them and if they disappear they're gonna appear behind you and grab you, but you can just spam r1 behind you as soon as they disappear and you should deal half a health bar and stun them

>all these people complaining about guardian ape
heh heh wait until you get to headless ape when he summons his monkey pal

>What about tenchu 1 2
Not From's stuff.

where is this boss?

Just did corrupted monk, pretty nice they let you get a stealth deathblow on him before the fight starts.

just keep playing, you cant miss it

It’s easier desu, I think headless ape is more manageable than phase 1. When you get to two apes, the brown one dies within 10 seconds with a firecracker and some swings.

I thought Guardian Ape was pretty great, I fucking loved the shinobi execution fake out.

>him

You just hold onto it, the act of owning it gives the benefit.

It's just so tiresome playing this game. All challenge no reward. I always held Miyazaki in high regard because he didn't make his games hard just to be hard. But rather as means to an end. But in Sekiro difficulty is that end. This is why Guardian Ape exists only to make you hate your existence. It's filled with trial and error moments completely killing the tension of overcoming difficulties first try. This game has other boss fights that are hard but also cool to fight. Guardian Ape is just trash. Fighting it is repetitive, frustrating and unrewarding.

It's definitely harder than Dark Souls 3 though lmao

I think the most frustrating thing is just how long the fights are while still remaining punishing. If you fuck up within the first thirty seconds of a fight, you might as well kill yourself so you can try again with a full health bar.

That argument worked for Genichiro. However Ape is just trial and error for that particular fight. A glorified time waste with none of the attributes that make Soulsborne boss fights great.

intrinsic reward is the main driver to play this game. if you're more of an extrinsic reward guy you're going to prefer nioh.

Don't even know why people have trouble with the ape, it's piss easy outside of the later gangbang with his wife, where it's only hard because there's two of them wailing on you.

Thinking Ape is a problem when he flails about like a retard and leaves himself wide open after most of his attacks. You can treat him like a souls boss and just dodge all his shit while chipping him down in both forms

There was a huge THUNK and the screen shook when he landed, user.

i don't think he's getting back up

>The reward is you gitting gud, you mong.
explain how this qualifies as an actual reward
you get good at one game and what does that accomplish? fucking nothing, shit doesn't even carry over to 99.99% of other games

Based

>trial and error
>you can still deflect 90% of his attacks

He throws shit.

The refight is piss easy if you get there later on. You can destroy the wife in no time.

>explain how this qualifies as an actual reward
How is it not rewarding to get better at something?
>shit doesn't even carry over to 99.99% of other games
What are you, thirteen?
You think videogames don't have a cumulative skillset? Especially action games?

It was much easiet the ghost monk. I had to cheese the latter with 3 snap seeds I had on me.

what more do you want? the ultimate reward in a challenging game is being able to overcome your obstacles and see it to the end, do you need an alternate outfit with a neon pink scarf to make it "worth it" you flaming faggot?

I honestly think guardian ape is peak boss design. the animations and move sets for both phases are phenomenal.

I don't think it's optional if you kill the monkey before going that way

I thought the boss was great fun. The Shinobi Execution fake out was fucking incredible.

What is it with fromsoft and manlet MC's.
Is it like some powerloser fetish?

If you go there early he tells you he fucked up, regrets it and gives you the scroll.
If you go there only after you're told to, he's not there and the scroll is in the pond.
You think he found a way to somehow off himself, or he just threw the scroll away and went somewhere to be bored forever?

Dumb ass.

How does Miyazaki do it time after time? Mirror fight against a mentor figure who is much more skilled than you is such an easy concept yet he manages to nail it perfectly every single time.

>I think the most frustrating thing is just how long the fights are
Most bosses can be beaten under a minute casual.

And you can also become a billionaire.

>Orphan

Is this a meme? I'm not great at these games but Orphan took me 5 attempts. No boss in BB took over 10 attempts except Laurence, how is the difficulty compared to BB? because if it's more or less the same then itl be a cake walk.

The second phase was a bit wonky. A lot of attacks that miss you standing still etc.

Yeah I guess that's true.

I die more to one Sekiro boss than all of BB.

You can't get anti terror umbrella until after you kill guardian ape you mongoloid.

You came to this conclusion after 5 Dark Souls games?

wonkiness and the general chaos sell the whole 2nd phase encounter for me. those sword swings/thrusts are so unsettling and hard to predict

>he doesn't say fap-bap

based
cringe

Never had any trouble with the ape.
Imagine how these people would feel against demon and sword saint

Using glitches to skip bosses takes the fun out of those games.

demon wasn't that good
remember good =/= hard. the guardian ape fight is way better because both of you are racing to be on top of the tempo
demon has his run away then punish anyone that follows him combo that really slows down the fight

It's a fucking video game, there is never any reward

Why not?

>spend like 5 hours fighting Saint Isshin
>every fight feels like it takes 20 minutes
>when I finally got it, the recording of the match turned out to be less than 5 minutes
I imagine most people who beat him end up getting so familiar with phase 1 and 2 that they just completely curbstomp them.

Guardian Ape drops finger prosthetic which is required to get the terror umbrella upgrade.

Neat, had no idea.

I'm still really early in the game but the boss/mini-boss fights feel really good. From does a good job at "easy to understand, difficult to master" mechanics. Only frustrating part of the game so far is mobs rushing me

killing genichiro in 30 seconds flat does get pretty satisfying
having to spam through the cutscene every time doesn't

Sekiro: Midbosses Die Twice

He's wearing a thin strap of leather on his torso, not exactly a whole armor

They all have different names, dumb ass. They aren't the same people in universe.

That's the guy they're talking about. They aren't talking about the Armored Warrior because he's a foreigner who came with his son and he had his armor and weapons (obviously) before he showed up. It isn't the Seven Spears because they don't even say his name when talking about it. They specifically talk about a big dumb brute with armor, they're talking about the bell guy.

It gets satisfying, and then it just gets boring.
I honestly think that fight would've been better if Genichiro was a one-time fight. Isshin by himself is more than strong to stand as the final boss.
I mean, Geinichiro cut himself with a sword specifically meant for killing immortals.

Beat them first try

the hardest part is phase one isshin
second phase is easier and third phase is just an easier version of phase two
with genichiro you just go full aggro and he goes down fast

>Is this a meme?
How new? Yes it's a meme, just like NK from DS3. Laurence is undeniably the hardest boss in BB, but Sekiro is way harder.

Dex>Str confirmed

so this is someone who does not own the game?

How many barefooted waifus does this game have since its a Miyazaki game

I can utterly destroy phase one and two, but three (and by extension four) are still rough as fuck for me.

Cuck.

>Laurence
wew wait till you fight the secret boss in Sekiro

Lol try fighting Nobunaga and Obsidian duo in Nioh

One thing that I think people should consider when first playing this game, is paying attention to how much skill points you have before commiting to fighting a boss for the first time. Getting skills out of the 5 skill trees can really help you along the game and sometimes its not worth dying with 3-4 skill points.

So back down from a fight whenever you can spend skill points instead. Posture damage increase skills and even the Ashina style skills can all help immensely fighting ape in particular

Why do you have a screenshot of that

because i knew you wanted it

Why the fuck wouldnt you have a screenshot of all the cute feet in the game

ive wondered this as well

As far as phase 2 fights go he's not bad but if all else fails just fight him like a DS boss and study him and just go in when you know there an opening and GTFO. Takes a long time but it's just clockwork when you know his moves. Honestly they should have used the memory to also be able to fight these enemies again. I don't wanna slog through just to test some other ways. Some bosses just need to start in phase 2 after you've gotten to it. Just weird seeing genichiro still there after what happens to him.

i tried to get around killing him. i would have put my sword aside for the sake of his son

i suck at dark souls and i beat this in 8 tries

Took me maybe an hour to figure it out? In the rematch I beat him first try because I had already solved him.

There is 2, play the fucking game you retard

>beat sacred blade but i was so excited i fucking forgot to do the deathblow thing and he got up and killed me so i hacked it to see the true ending

does it count lads im not doing it again fuck that i basically beat it

Sekiro: Genichiro Dies 87 Times

How to deal with bosses who mix up their red kanji attacks??

watch the animation

Either learn to recognize the moves based on animations like a loser or just Raven Mist through them like a chad.

I keep getting her phase 2 right to the end then get greedy like a knob. I can do her phase 1 in about 20 seconds now though. I'll get that bitch.

Just wait till later when bosses will require you to deflect everything perfectly and you'll still almost be at the brink of posture break. Now couple that with the fact that you literally have to chip away at them because lmao you did what you needed to get an opening here's a some scraps of damage. Game tanks in quality after Genichiro

>He doesn't know

i haven't gotten as far as you because i just haven't found the game to be very fun so far. i've probably put about 3-4 hours into it. i'm at the estate right now. i don't know i guess i keep going to play other games because it's just not as fun as their other games are.

i hate the combat where you just hear clinking swords every half second before your drain their posture and one shot kill them. it just doesn't feel good at all. maybe i'll come around after i play it more, but i'm in no hurry to get back to it which considering it's a FROM game i'm pretty suprised. i fucking tore through all their other games.

Attached: 1549176180242_0.jpg (1053x883, 140K)

You either recognize the animations or you just memorize, or a mix of both. Some bosses have their danger attacks tied to the phase that they are in, like a particular boss will only do a thrust after doing a couple of normal attacks in phase one but then phase two it will start doing those same normal attacks but then change to doing a sweep instead. In those cases you will know before it even happens therefore taking reaction out of the equation.

Kill yourself

I two shot the first ape fight (only died because I didn't realize his scream would put terror on me), and 1 shot the double ape fight at the end. No idea how anyone can have trouble with this easy shit. You run super fast and have infinite stamina. You can just run in circles and run in and hit him when with a stab he does one of his dumb ass moves that leaves his wide open. Not to mention you can cheese the fuck out of it with the prosthetics that scare beasts. But it's still a joke without doing that

sekiro is way harder than anything in bloodborne. miyazaki is just doubling down on this shit. activision probably forced him to put in the resurrection mechanic when they saw how fucking ridiculous it was.

Guardian Ape is literally the best giant monster fight From has ever done. Nothing bad about it.

My nugget, been playing no issues so far at least from performance wise, only just beat Seven spears guy and reached the Asahina castle.

>I've played all From's games (DS1, DS2, DS3, BB - and i loved them)
You've played them all except the best one huh cunt.

Go play it and let Sekiro be, this game only has combat going for it, it has zero atmosphere.

Also the funniest. He braps on you then poops in his hand and flies in the air and tosses it at you

Sorry for being a brainlet but how do you use Mikari counter 100% of the time that spear boss is raping my ass even though I snuck up on him and took 1 life with a stealth attack.
I keep getting my shit pushed and only like get the mikari counter 2/10 attacks.

Owl guide:

Dodge to the left, at about 10 oclock. As he comes in for his sprint sweep sprint towards 12 oclock. He will miss every attack, after each you can land 1 hit if you hit him in the front, 2 hits if you hit his back.

He becomes trivial. Get the sprinting right and he goes down. He won't even do any of his really bullshit attacks that he does after he deflects you since he will never do that.

Rape Ape gets significantly easier once you understand how it works. For instance, it's one of the few bosses you can stagger, I feel. Certainly has unique behavior in terms of that compared to the other bosses in the game.
Deal enough damage in a short time and he will stagger. Deal enough during that stagger and he will fall over. All in all, you can get like 1/3 off of his health bar if you keep hitting him during all this.

Start whacking when he throws a temper tantrum on the ground. Otherwise just hold the run button and never let go.

Second phase is just parrying.

Practice the counter on the undead dude at the dilapitated shrine. You have to let go of the block button, otherwise you do a dodge.

Damn, I got so frustrated on the Seven Spear guy and the Sword Ninja in the shitty cave with horrible camera that I forgot how fun and rewarding the game could be.
I'm having a great time getting good at Genichiro.

I'm honestly dreading to think what sort of bullshit they'll come up with for dlc, since every souls dlc so far had the most absurdly difficult bosses

expect a boss with 5-6 phases

Casuals just cant handle the heat

>Deal enough damage in a short time and he will stagger.
i think you need to hit his head or ass to stagger him

it makes you feel more powerful when you defeat big enemies
come on user you just had to think for 5 seconds

>that other one nobody liked
you better not be talking about Z you fuck

>create a combat system that's all about deflecting, nerf dodge iframes and give enemies/bosses tracking attacks
>game forces you to dodge and chip away at bosses because deflecting straight away doesn't deplete their posture fast enough
most boss fights would be 50x better if deflecting dealt more posture damage, that whole low health = weaker posture thing seems counterproductive to the game's design

you're not supposed to just deflect
you need to attack too
that's how the game is intended to be played

It's a really cool fight. Not sure why people say it's so hard, just lay into the fucker and jump around.
Did go full basedboy when phase 2 kicked in for the first time though.

I would say watch the animation, but it's often bullshit. Final Genichiro in foliage crouches for both thrust and sweep so you can't tell which is which (without learning his body pattern rather than sword) because you can't see where his sword is.
Also sword saint spear mode is a pisstake cause he literally swings his spear in a semicircle before thrusting

All the archievements can be obtained in a single playthrough or do they require multiple playthroughs?

Also, no farming required, right?

>everyone bitching about Owl2
>Killed him abusing Ichi Double jump attacks since none of the AI can account for distance if you turn off lock on
The entire game is designed with the AI recognizing the fact you have lock on enabled. Take that information and use it as you will.

No farming required but if you want every upgrade in one playthrough you will probably need to farm the endgame areas for items and skill points.
You cannot get every achievement in one playthrough because there are drastically different endings with bosses that arent in the other ones and what not.

>does a game with multiple ending require multiple playthroughs?
Gee I dunno
>Also, no farming required, right?
As long as you keep your deaths to a minimum otherwise enjoy a life of poverty

If you're a gay little Souls streamer that can't adapt to the game and you want bosses to take 3x as long as they should, yes.

I unironically beat them 6th try.
I know "git gud" is a meme but if you're not going to do that then Jesus Christ man at least don't be little bitch about losing in a fucking From game.

I had to get into the game in the beginning as well, the first bits are not that great, but I would at least give it a shot until you kill Genichiro since the level design becomes more diverse and interesting. That’s what did it for me.

I mean Sekiro is probably legitimately 5'6, average height for a japanese man of the time.

the only boss you're allowed to quit at is the final one, that one is actually hard and as far as I know there's no cheesing it so I can forgive people who can't git gud enough to beat it but only if they give it a lot of attempts

>being bad at one of the easiest FromSoft games

No lie beat him after my 5th try. Genichiro took me way more and was my wall. Git gud and stop complaing. this is not dark souls or Blood born. Stop pretending it is lol
