Sounds litty actually

>bloodborne sequel based on aztec civilization

I didn't realize how much I wanted this until now

How much of a manlet is sekiro

Well I don't think it would exactly be Bloodborne but I'm sure there's plenty of mythos to draw in in Meso-American and Portuguese/Spanish history.

It's clearly a revisionist metaphor for Anglo imperialism absolutely destroying and humiliating early Japan

no, is just tha everything else is big as fuck

It was first rumored 2 years ago as a hand-to-hand combat game that wasn't directly related to Bloodborne. Then From Software released that VR game a few months ago that had more explicit references suggesting it could be a Bloodborne successor.

Your image is just a post some guy on Yea Forums has been reposting in every other bloodborne thread for years since it's release, he's just added more bullshit with no sources because the thought of people wanting the same thing he does makes him feel good.

all the basic enemies are you same size, it's just From's narrative autism where different enemies are the big enemy for aesthetic/gameplay purposes. anybody trying to make sense of this shit as some kind of "deep" lore is just getting trolled once again by hidetaka "just make your own story, it's what I do" miyazaki

brainlet me tried to execute him 4 times until he told Sekiro "You're trying to topple me!?" Fuck, intense as shit. I thought my nippon steel would eventually pierce him.

Imagine being Mr. Robert’s Dad. All you want to do is stand guard while the monks heal your son and you have this clearly dangerous asian man walking in and brandishing a sword when you clearly told him to put his weapon away. He doesn’t say anything and starts hacking away at your armor like a bug and then kicks you off the bridge without any explanation.

It has to be, I thought the same thing.

One of the item descriptions (I forget which) even says they're women

I just realized how Western Sekiro looks compared to everyone else lmao. Is that actually story related or is he just another big boss?

I had to look up how to beat him because I thought you had to strip his armor with the spear.

his son is probably dead as an experiment for the monks. There's so many dead bodies in the temple

Which of the other Sekiro bosses (both actual and mini-bosses) are capable of beating the Armored Warrior in a 1v1 duel?

oh fuck that's how you were supposed to beat him? I got lucky and did that on my first try. It actually amazed me when I kicked him off the edge, I was like "wow they really though of everything"

Any bosses and mini bosses with elemental/status damage, ogre, bull (unless armored knight is an ole master due to his spanish heritage), any beasts, and seven ashima spear because his spear is fucking huge and probably has no trouble breaking through the armor

Dude got lucky with good facial features but in the end he’s still just an autistic asian manlet.

Demon of Hatred. Genichiro. Saint.

If only there were actual weapons in this game. Doesn't have to be massive amounts. Just like 3 to 5 weapons would have been perfect.

I want that too but it would be kind of hard to balance with the parry mechanic.

I beat this guy first try and didn't even know you were supposed to send him plummeting down. It just kind of happened and it took me a bit by surprise. Pretty cool though.

has japan ever give a shit about meso america?

does anyone give a shit other then a few fags on the internet?

I hope there's some boss v boss mods being worked on like with DaS3.

You think Miyazaki is a big Miyazaki fan?

Has anyone modded in the Goemon ost yet?

One of the first things I thought about when I saw the Sen Throw upgrade.

Man I miss greatswords. Sekiro is too DEX for me.

Yea it would be. Most enemies are designed to allow you to squeeze in one hit with a sword sometimes after a deflect before enemy start blocking/deflecting your hit (unless their back is turn). That’s why alternate weapons are all locked behind in your shinobi tool. Any weapon with slower swing would not be able to punish many enemies at all, unless they can completely ignore enemy’s blocking/deflecting but that would introduce another imbalance aspect.
It’s not like soulborne games where enemies would leave a big opening after a good dodge so you can get 1 big hit vs multiple small hit. Also, enemy rarely can block your attack in soulborne

He looks like Clint Eastwood from certain angles/lighting

I didn't even know that was a thing!
Kai Road would sound perfect on Kashina Outskirts.

Everybody may mock *CLANG*, but I earnestly love that needless bell ringing sound effect coming off of the swings.

It's a thematic visuals thing. The whole point is that when faced with this towering regular-assed human, you're always going to feel as if they are naturally a significantly imposing threat. If they are normal human-sized, the grandiosity of the battles gets reduced to a normal duel. As much as I adore those, the circumstances which make them actually intimidating are rare, and require far more than just a super-large enemy.

This fight Yea Forums, this fucking fight is amazing. The second phase scare me too much, but was a awesome fight.

So DaS had Marvelous Chester that hinted Bloodborne
Bloodborne had that samurai guy that hinted Sekiro
Which character in Sekiro hints the next game?

This guy qualifies a bit but he's not that out of place. Anyone else like him that looks like they dropped in from another setting?

Robert's dad is not a DLC character

I'd wager both are based off of the same Japanese myth/folklore rather than one being based off of the other.

You can’t hit any other enemies off of ledges in this game so I didn’t even think about trying it to him. I thought you were supposed to use the loaded spear because of the description and eavesdrop hint. When that didn’t work I got pissed and did a deathblow that sent him falling.

Can someone explain what the centipede immortality is/was all about?
Seems like a demonic alternative to the "divine" immortality.

So naturally the DLC might feature some sort of ultimate centipede-infested immortal.

really kino moment as i seriously was dumbfounded at that point. i thought for sure a deathblow would kill him because sekiro is supposed to be aiming for weakpoint during a deathblow, just like how someone would kill an armored opponent with a sword in real life.

huhh?

The monks were trying to replicate the dragon’s blood heir by force. The water it self is magical but it ain’t exactly drink water get free immortality either. Magic water gives the monks the bad case of the centipedes but they figure hey it’s still kinda immortality if the key is to never die. Granted their experiments did resulted in one success such is the case with the Divine Loli.

This guy seemed so intimidating at first.
The business end of his spear is literally larger than Wolf's body.

And then you just parry the fuck out of him with minimal effort.

I expected him to speak Japanese but I also kinda expected a gaijin VA speaking Japanese. It’s weird how the only game to do this kind of detail well was Nioh. Engrish or not, I respected the fact that they took consideration to the idea of Japs trying to speak English to the great white samurai.

Is Hirata estates completely skippable?

You only get the bell by talking to that old lady in the burnt-down house, but the game doesn't really place her directly in your way and it's easy not to stumble onto her.

>*wiggles sword in front of u and spooks ur horse*

Technically but you'd miss out on 3 prosthetics

So...why are they giants? Aren't they supposed to be normal people?

Also why are there ltieral people in this game that are three times as big as you? Isn't it supposed to be realistic but with monsters?

>Do you think he might be a hint as to the direction of From's next game?

Nah, they save those kinds of hints for the DLCs.
Assuming Sekiro's going to get a DLC, that is.

Yes, it's optional.

You miss three prosthetics and an additional resurrection, though.

How many times do people have to remind you that Miyazaki REALLY likes Berserk?

Gameplay reasons. Having them be bigger than the player reads better and says 'this guy is strong, take him seriously.'

>Sekiro
>realism

i liked when he made shit. it killed me a few times, but his sit/fart/shitslam combo all have really good windows to get damage in

>Isn't it supposed to be realistic but with monsters?
In addition to that being a total oxymoron, it's also totally incorrect. Where did you ever get the impression this game was supposed to be realistic? Just because it takes place in fantasy Japan instead of a totally fictional location?

Might also like One Piece since it does the exact same shit without explanation beyond "hurr they aren't giants they are just big guys"

I mean I dunno dude. It kinda do? Sure she’s not blocking the way as a forced interaction or anything but she is definitely in the area that you are gonna go past and she’s not exactly hidden either. Even if you have never played FromSoft’s games before you are bound to end up investigating an old lady ringing a bell in a decrepit house that just happens to be on your way.

If there's no dlc mentioning him then this will be the most pointless boss in fromsoftware ever

Then why gimp yourself as much as Sekiro does and don't go full fantasy with more creative designs than 90% the bosses being generic knights and samurai? It obviously tries to be a bit realistic in comparison to what would be possible.

Don't worry. Koei will be desperate for sales and will catcher to the retarded niche weeb for Nioh 2.

Probably because they wanted to play to the strengths of the combat system, which means a lot of humanoids with swords. It's not a coincidence that some of the worst bosses are the ones that don't use swords.

Creativity is overrated, I like FromSoft's style because it's grounded in actual historical or at least plausible designs mixed with some dark fantasy aspects.

Every From game since DaS1 has had DLC and this Sekiro is published by Activision so I would assume DLC is coming.

Japanese dub sucks lmao. It's much more immersive to listen in your native language. I love the Japanese language but it's better to play this game in English. It's not like the lipsyncing is gonna lose something over it.

That’s the point. Bosses are designed with you having katana in mind as your main weapon. If you have a main weapon slower than a katana, you can’t get a hit in most of the time. The shinobi tool alternative definitely has use for boss as well, but they provide a more niche way of getting hit in addition the bread and butter deflects and r1 from the katana.

I started out with Japanese voices but not understanding what was being said was a huge turnoff, even though the intonation of much characters was better in japanese, especially sekiros.
The japanese accent in any of the VAs is extremely faint or nonexistant in sekiro.

Not him

No, no one gives a shit. And no one wants to play some god-forsaken shitskin with a loincloth.

Is there a reward or trophy tied to giving the npcs sake or is it just flavour dialogues?

It just ended up being Absolver. That dude was full of shit plenty of people called him out on it. And yes I'm aware Absolver is not a FromSoft game

P sure its just lore

umm have you heard about this fantastic technology called subtitles?

Is the Ogre called an Oni in the Jap dub? If not, then maybe it is an european Ogre.

They shouldn’t have done japanese default, despite the setting, the English voices are really good

I thought most of the english voices were quite bad, not even a weeb. I hate how Wolf sounds in english and the rice loli sounds awful.

I have but one question about the story and no one answers it. What the fuck was the deal with Isshin? Were there 2 of them? How did he appear like that?

The second Mortal Blade that Genichiro had was the opposite of the first. The first sends anything to the underworld, the other brings things back.

Genichiro has the black mortal blade which can open a portal into the afterlife. You find Isshin dead when you go see Emma and she tells you that Genichiro has taken Kuro. When you go confront him Genichiro sacrifices himself to the blade in order to open a portal to the afterlife, and Isshin comes back through into the real world as his ideal self.

ironically, one of my biggest complaints is there wasn't enough Japanese mythology for bosses. Most of them are just a big deranged psycho.

Now I understand everything, thank you anons.

He means Chester's attire

But plenty of people bought Horizon Zero Dawn

Gravity > European armor.

Anyone notice Isshin's seppuku scar in his boss fight? He also has black hair again which is weird. By the way was he always missing an eye?

HALF BLACK

Quite literally the bias I have for this game against Nioh. Don’t get me wrong I love both games but when Nioh went from having something interesting to “yet another wankfest about the Sengoku era civil wars” that’s when I start to get bored of it. Granted they toned it down a bit compared to their Warriors series but they still made the supernatural aspect take the backseat. I ain’t saying the Japs can never use anything from the civil wars. Just like have it focus on one clan or something like Spirit of Sanada so that I can actually give a shit about the characters and not roll my eyes as I wait for the obligatory Oda Nobunaga cock sucking to begin again.

yeah the rest were pretty plain. I don't hate it but nothing jumped out at me. I wish they atleast included different outfits, idc if they had benefits or not

No. This is some shitty meme some guy has been samefagging for a year now.

Just ignore him and his shitty larp. Absolutely no one wants to play as some tree imp.

>He also has black hair again which is weird
his memory does say when you come back the way he did it's at the height of your prosperity

What boss attacks can ichimonji cancel?

This is the conclusion I came to, but wasn't Isshin a good boy who didn't want to resort to unnatural means? Did he betray his morals for his grandson?

Without autists to share their unique vision, the world would be an incredibly boring place. Imagine every game being Fortnite, every movie being Transformers, every book being Hunger Games. It'd be dreadful.

I guess once he was bought back he figured he may as well respect his grandsons final wish. Or his desire for a good fight got the better of him.

he did just let sekiro execute him for the final deathblow. stayed somewhat honorable except for the fucking pistol

I feel like the big characters are supposed to be more like 3D renditions of traditional Japanese art. They've always liked making their great figures look massive.

>does anyone give a shit other then a few fags on the internet?
No.

i fucking hate the headless so much
they're the worst fucking fights in the game, god it's the worst

I would kill for Chinasouls. Ever since a certain MMORPG I have been craving hard for a game where I can learn various form of Kung fu that ranges from deadly to retarded, or both.

Die enough times that someone else gets dragonrot and ask them for blood.

>the virgin shinobi versus the chad dark souls
it just goes to show that chosen undead would win in a straight up fight and virgin dex build has to rely on gimmicks for a fighting chance

It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the fact that you need confetti constantly just to duke it out with them. Even if you can kill them within the duration of one confetti buff that shit drops so rare that it’s still dildos for the next headless encounters.

Just parry them without spamming like a faggot and you don’t get terror

the worst one to me is the lake one in the palace area, because it's fucking two things spamming their bullshit homing skills.

>Isn't it supposed to be realistic but with monsters
????
Also this is as realistic as bloodborne

The Demon Bell seems to increase item drop rates considerably and the blue-robed samurai seem to drop it consistently. And once you get the Heaven's Dragon item or whatever later into the game all vendors will sell Divine Confetti for 300 with unlimited stock.

>he doesn't know

He means deflect.

It refills 1 resurrect, if you're already full you don't get anything for it.

>shura
shura is not a character's name but a title for someone who kills without reason

Did the shamisen chick that was a boss fight get BLACK'D?

no the "upgrade" from butterfag

>people STILL dont understand the resurrect mechanic
when you die your resurrect circles get blacked out by ink, preventing you from casting them. until you land a deathblow to unlock them. everytime you land a deathblow you also recharge the extra resurrects

Maybe Centipides (the immortality ones)? They feel like baby versions of Omukade.

No, she seems to be a ghost that died a while ago. Afro Samurai just liked her ghostly shamisen playing.

Because making high quality assets takes a lot of fucking time, Einstein.

God I love this guy's voice actor

Most people were speculating that the Armored Warrior was part of a mid game twist where Black Ships show up and that was why From told streamers if they got to him not to show him
Then again everyone thought that the game was set in a fantastical notSengoku setting until the story trailer/game intro dropped and said it was literally the historical Sengoku era

Progress further

>ROBARRRRTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FTFY

They were both looking for each other, the guy O'Rin was looking for is the dark-skinned Samurai.

I think the bit about not showing him might have actually just been to make it so they didn't show off how to kill him, so people would have to figure it out themselves actually.

Yeah im still kinda thrown about it actually taking place in "Japan"

Do they ever explain the centipedes?

Isn't O'rin looking for Sukazu? The black guy was named something else. Suzaku has one of the prosthetic upgrades named after him I think.

I think she's Tomoe since Emma mentions her and Lord Sakuza together in the Purification route. The dark-skinned samurai has just been bewitched.

Man that would have been so much cooler
>finish the guy off, fight isn't really that hard
>horse gallops away while he does his death animation
>few minutes later go through that gate
>horse busts through the fence and starts attacking you instead of the bull

Wrong. If you do the guys quest progression all the way through and kill O'rin she even has dialogue talking about how he's a different guy but she'll take him anyway.

There's a giant carp skeleton with what are presumably centipede larva on it. Meaning they gained immortality from that or some shit.

Suzaku is the Vermillion Bird, one if the 4 Guardian Beasts. Also when you kill her she thanks you for bringing them together again.

Thatd be cool
Or maybe you could befriend the horse

Lord Sakuza not Suzaku (the vermillion bird representing fire)

They already did that in Dark Souls 2, pulling the same trick would be unoriginal

If it wasn't a required fight that would be neat
In some midgame area you get sugarcubes and can bribe it to let you through without a fight
And then it shows up and kicks a door open for you or something later

Emma also mentions how she developed the lightning technique for and because Genichiro was enraptured by the sky

there are two monks. One is the spirit looking one and the other is for reals. You can't miss them.

>Did you have fun fighting headless?

I actually prefer Shichimen warriors to them because at least you can beat them without confetti

He's asian

the dialogue is pretty basic and sekiro grunts 2-3 word sentences. if youre familiar with archaic edo period sociolect which is the staple of old samurai movies you hardly need subs at all save for the few story specific items.

At least now i know to go beat the ashina outskirts one early so i can spam dmg buff.

So I was doing a NG+ run and I noticed there were some phantom Nightjars in the Sunken Valley area leading up to the Gun Fort. And 2 phantom Samurai's spawned immediately after killing the centipede in the fort. I'm absolutely certain I didn't see them my first playthrough so I'm not sure if they are there because it's NG+ or because I had the Demon Bell active.

God damn his English voice actor is shit

Ape would just rip the armour off and eat him

Attached: img05.jpg (840x669, 398K)

No but it does seem to implicate heavily that centipedes are the byproducts of a bad reaction to the dragon piss. The divine water it self seems to be very fucky as well. You are lucky if you drink it and gain immortality normally. Most of the times it just grants immortality in some fucked up ways like turning you into a zombie or having Centipedes in your vagina. And that’s just the few examples.

They're there normally, there's a graveyard near the area transition where you find another Headless.

That would be the ape

Except those phantoms near Headless are on the other side of the valley in the Ashira Outskirts. I'm talking about the ones near and inside the Gun Fort.

The big question is do I HAVE A FUCKING CENTIPEDE INSIDE ME?

>Divine Dragon is either directly attached to a divine cherry blossom tree, or is actually a branch/root of the tee that’s impersonating a dragon for whatever reason
>those deeply infected with dragonrot have a direct connection to the Divine Dragon
>pre-boss white mini-dragons revive as black, rotting corrupted dragons, symbolizing the effects of its corruption
>parasitic centipedes appear out of those who’ve been corrupted by dragonrot because centipedes feed off of rotten wood

Best guess I could come up with.

And I'm talking about the ones in the Gun Fort, not the ones in Ashina outskirts. There's an underwater passageway where the snek chases you, there's a hidden grave beyond that.

Naw son you got your shota lord’s fluids protecting you from that shit.

Wolf doesn't have a centipede, he has the immortal oath from Kuro.

you can block his terror scream with the umbrella

>the closer you are to the night the more specters appears in certain area
Are they all the people you killed? Found it weird how a Blue Samurai appears at the Bridge where O'Rin was.

I thought the centipedes only appeared in those affected by the fake dragons heritage?

Nah, the Centipedes lay their eggs in water (the fountainhead), where they feed on the Carp, people drink water from the fountainhead to become immortal, and unknowingly ingest immortal centipede eggs. The centipedes are a parasite.

That's what a centipede would say.

>nickname is literally "Dick"
lmao

The Divine Dragon and the Cherry Blossom Tree are the same thing. The Dragon is a tree.

Alternatively the Purple Goard should be plenty without costing Spirit Emblems you could use instead for firecrackers.

Just no. You could make this argument for any other game besides this one

I also just ran into them after not seeing them on my first playthrough, but I'm on a new save, not NG+. Worth considering that even though this was a new save I still had the NG+ item that you can give to Kuro for extra difficulty.

That dude was balls

DLC is when it usually happens. Hopefully some guy in broken down power armor that looks kind of like a human sized armored core.

Chester was literally wearing a top hat

theres literally an anime with Quetzalcoatl as a big titty girl with horns

I found it strange that Fountainhead was just an area up on some mountain rather than being an actual divine place itself. Not to mention how no one noticed an absolutely massive tassel monster is beyond me.

No. I had the Demon Bell active in my first playthrough and I never saw those phantoms, but in this one I'm playing without it.

Is there a single picture of Ryu that doesn't make him look angry? Fuck's sake even when he's smiling his brow always makes him look intense.

Wish there were some actual onis desu
Nioh is rotten fucking garbage but at least it had that

Mountains are generally seen as places of divine residence so it fits, that and it gives it a definite connection to the land itself which the Divine Dragon description even nods too.

Interesting. Maybe they're just some additional enemies that appear after beating the game on any save. That'd be rather weird for From given how they've done it in their previous games.

Mate do you really think a giant noodle man just casually walked your ass through the mortal realm like a godzilla uber

You obviously got spirited away to some other dimension

How much harder is NG+? I'm torn between a new playthrough and NG+ on the same save.

There was also another new phantom I ran into. A phantom ashina elite samurai on the little wooden bridge between O'Rin and Corrupted Monk.

The Divine Realm is more comparable to a separate dimension than a Western concept of Heaven, it's a concept that turns up often in Eastern, and particularly Chinese folklore.
The series Seirei no Moribito deals with it a lot, and if you liked the metaphysical stuff in Sekiro you'd probably love it.

I get the idea of mountains being a holy place, that's hardly unique to Japan. I was expecting to be spirited away to an actual place above the clouds, basically where the actual dragon is.

>Thai-Kick-san, the leg saint appears

It's not the divine realm, it's the human world. The people living there were humans who built a palace and worshipped the dragon's water. They were corrupted into the ayy lmaos.

Yeah actually and yeah it seemed to me like it basically just grabbed you, dabbed and now you were on top of some mountain.

Did you forget that fire is super effective against red eyes?

Tomoe is near guaranteed to be Kino dlc boss material if we go by previous from trends of hyping the shit out of a character in lore during the base game. True master of lightning that Genichiro and even fucking Isshin are just emulating incoming.

I'd kill for another Wolnir fight where he's actually interesting and a threat rather than a total pushover gimmick fight.

You mean Seathe the Armless with his Moonlightning Greatsword.

It's hard to make compelling fights against giant enemies. It's telling that the snake is just a puzzle and the dragon is a cinematic gimmick fight in Sekiro.

It's a real sword from nip mythology
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-Branched_Sword

I think there will be a moonlight prosthetic in the DLC to fit with their catalog

Sekiro's combat could make it pretty cool though. I'd like to parry something really big with my magic katana.

It's a giant glowing sword that shoots projectiles and is tied to a white dragon. Fits the moonlight motif.

> dragon is a cinematic gimmick fight in Sekiro.
I'm glad they did that. If it's a gimmick at least make it flashy so you don't feel completely bored.

It shoots lightning and the dragon is a tree. It's not really moonlight is it.

*heavily bandaged women welding hand cannons

Both the dragon and the monkeys were really cool gimmicky fights. Wish that were true of like, any of the bosses from the Soulsborne games.

And in DaS1 it shoots lasers and Seathe is more of a tentacle monster than a dragon, what's your point?

>the dragon is a chinese dragon that came from mainland china
Also who cut off the arm of the dragon? Was it the chick that we find sleeping/dead at the entrance to the divine realm?

The dragon is the cherry tree that Owl cut a branch from, the branch is that arm.

I suspect that dead girl is Tomoe.

DeS had cool gimmick fights.

No, she was a Miko offered up as a bride.

>I suspect that dead girl is Tomoe.
Damn I didn't even think about that. That'd make a ton of sense given what Emma says.

>The dragon is the cherry tree that Owl cut a branch from
Holy shit, that makes a lot of sense.

Japan has noodle dragons too

Yeah but the game states that the origin of the dragons lie west before it eventually came to Japan.

mentioning who? robert?
they don't say it outright but he's clearly one of the other children that didn't survive the experimenting
they straight up said rice girl was the sole survivor

Yeah but the game straight up tells you the dragon came from the West and is foreign to these lands.

Is it good? Is she hot?

finally beat that Isshin faggot and the game was great

i was really hoping for more folklore and mythology though. hopefully they can expand on that in some DLC

When he kills you he says that his son will receive the water. So presumably Robert isn't one of those children, at least not yet. Presumably he's still alive but without his father he probably dies.

One Sake-gourd, From.

No, Owl obviously cut a branch off the tree that Emma and Kuro talk about. If anyone cut off a branch/arm from the Divine Dragon it was probably Tomoe. She served the Divine Heir that did the ritual before, the one whose notes Kuro learns all this stuff from.

or, you know, he just doesn't know yet

The tree that Emma and Kuro talk about is the Divine Dragon. They're the same thing.

Robert is mentioned on the description of the fireworks you buy before you turn it into a prosthetic tool. It says he was sick and he and his father sailed over to Ashina in search of a cure.

what's the point of having health if virtually any enemy two-shots you?

Damn Shadowrush is good. All the other combat arts I found looked floaty and barely did more damage than an r1. Ichimonji was the only useful one and it has a weird hitbox and I hate how the animation looks. Then I got Shadowrush and now I have this insane gap closer that makes me jump in the air too, it deals massive health and posture damage. It's amazing.

hey, have you met this eel with a flute
he plays the flute so good you turn into an old man in 3 seconds, after which he instantly kills you
you should see his wife, she plays a mean hacky sack
if you catch the hackey sack while it's coated in lightning and while you're in the air, you can throw it back at her to have her explode into tiny giblets

also, have you seen the fourth monkey?

So you survive grabs or regular attacks.

Why did we fight lady butterfly?

What was her relevance to the story?

well it's better than getting one shotted

When they refer to the tree they say it was on the estate grounds which the Divine Dragon and his tree is clearly not.

To survive chip damage from improper block.

Bros what was the deal with the medic guy in abandoned dungeon? I never sent anyone towards him

The dragon manifests in the divine realm, the tree is in reality

She was working with Owl to kidnap Kuro.

have i got news for u

He's Dr. Frankenstein

She was working with Owl to take the Divine Heir. She helped Owl train Wolf at some point in the past.

I sent this guy

i assume he was kinda like the whacko doctor from Bloodborne so I didn't send anyone to him either. he's probably trying to re-create immortality or something since that's the main theme of the game (and also all those old guys around that area die twice)

She was either ordered to take the fall by Owl or decided to go after the Divine Heir for her own gain and Owl played it to his benefit.
What leads you to believe that? The tree is right there in the Dragon fight.

Attached: 1553663894560.jpg (1280x720, 98K)

Yeah but where is the dragon fight taking place? The tree is represented in reality and in the divine realm. Look at the boss fight, the dragon is literally the tree. There's no deliniation where one ends and begins.

I posted this in the other thread, but... apparently drop rates are progression-gated. I farmed 19 Scrap Irons from the twinblade monks in Senpou very early on, there were no Scrap Magnetite drops. I killed Genichiro, and I went back to farming them and now they started dropping Magnetite reasonably often. The Demon Bell is a must for farming by the way, it makes some enemies drop guaranteed upgrade materials.

Man, there's no more good games coming out for the rest of the year. 2019 started off with a bang with RE2, DMC5 and Sekiro but now there's not much left to look forward to.

any good games coming out bros?

I see no reason why they have to be the same tree. Even during the Dragon boss fight you can see plenty of other sakura trees in the background. You can even see one in this screencap

Really? 130cm sounds ridiculous, I can't believe it.

probably my favourite gimmick fight from From's games

at least they made it look cool as fuck and easy instead of some stupid bullshit like in the other games

From has been doing this in their games since DeS. Their explanation is that they make all the enemies really huge to make them look scary -- that's it really.

Why would the branch of a completely random cherry tree be required to break the blood line of dragon blood immortality?

I think the angle the other user is going for is that the Tree in the castle symbolizes the pact between the first Dragon Heir and the Dragon and thus harming the tree would also harm the dragon in the divine realm.

I figured the tree at the castle would've just been seeded from the original divine tree. If the castle's tree withered and died when the branch was taken and the dragon is a reflection of that then why is he still alive?

Fuck it's so cool

There is literally every reason they are the same tree, it's THE Everblossom tree.
The aromatic branch item description states it was plucked from the Everblossom tree by Wolf's father, Owl. The Everblossom tree was stated to come from the Divine Realm, and only disappears from the Estate Grounds when the branch was 'plucked'.

Owl drops the Aromatic Branch upon being defeated.

You fight the Divine Dragon in the Divine Realm, the Divine Dragon IS the tree, which during the fight you can notice, especially if you get up close. The Divine Dragon is missing an arm, in this case the branch that Owl stole. (Which, by stealing it, caused the tree to return to the Divine Realm, again, where you fight said Dragon)

So that's the Moonlight Greatsword of Sekiro, right?

The dragon in the divine realm is rotten as seen by the small dragons you kill before ahdn (and then resurrect brown and withered)

Just save those bosses for postgame. Vendors will start selling a lot more items in unlimited amounts. Confetti being one of said items.

>Oh is this the armored guy? Guess it's time to break out the spear

Yo why are shinobi tools so useless? Only Shuriken(with combo dash) and Firecrackers seem to be any good.

Do Headless drop anything worthwhile aside those infinite sugar? The only one I'm eyeing is the one that makes you invisible.

I wonder if the Dragonrot is related to the Cherry Tree/Dragon being injured by Owl.

Why doesn't this dickhead just let you pass? Oh well, looks like your son's dead anyway.

Tools are all great and very strong you're just using them on a gimmick boss that you're forced to defeat a specific way. Axe does crazy posture damage to anything it hits and gets upgraded to have super armor, do fire damage, and break illusions. Spear's reach makes it probably the best tool to use while jumping, the cleave upgrade is great for dealing with groups, and it has the option of two different sword follow-ups depending on if you do the pull-in or not. Shuriken are fucking amazing, one-shotting animals, keeping enemy posture high from a distance, and the sword follow-up makes it a very fast, very cheap gap-closer option. Upgrades are great for additional damage. Sabimaru makes any enemy not immune to poison a joke of a fight. Serpent Eyes and Ashina Elite mini-bosses in particular are super weak to it. Umbrella upgrades to total immunity to fire and terror status AND damage, can stay out forever, and has a larger parry window than your sword. Fan instantly deletes any non-boss enemy you want. Whistle is the only one that feels lackluster, and that's just because stealth is so busted that adding the cool whistle/delayed whistle mechanics to it doesn't really matter since you can already lure enemies around and stealth kill them so easily.

Several tools also have unique applications on certain bosses. Try using the spear pull on a headless Guardian Ape after deflecting his big attack that makes him fall down.

Upgrade your shit. The Butterflies of the Phantom Kunai ignore guarding and deflects, the SPiral spear is great to inflict posture damage on enemies (mainly mini-bosses and regular enemies like the Ashina Elite), the flame one is great for crowd controlling and also does massive posture damage. The Umbrella is great to deal with massive unavoidable damage that you can't get out of (or use the deflect to hurt Headless).

yeah the shinobi tools are kinda like zelda items where they are really good against certain enemies and then useless or situational against everything else

Owl is surprisingly likable given that he's one of the most evil characters in the story.

I think it should also include wild west areas

Can you still defeat the carp after Divine Dragon? He's gone from the point and I killed the old man because I thought releasing him from his fate was a roundabout way to release him from his mortal coil.

It's in the caves past the temple in Senpou. You can unlock cool martial arts, even the awesome kick all the shinobi enemies do.

>Several tools also have unique applications on certain bosses. Try using the spear pull on a headless Guardian Ape after deflecting his big attack that makes him fall down.
What, really? If this is true, the attention to detail in this game is amazing. I also didn't think of using the spear when jumping, thanks for the suggestion. I got the skill for midair prosthetic tools and I never used it, now that I think about it.

In 2017, Miyazaki states that there were 3 games in development at From. One was a game that would conform to fan expectations (Sekiro), one was a ‘bizarre’ side project (Deracine), and the third was a new entry in an old series that was later heavily hinted to be Armored Core. With Deracine and Sekiro out, we can assume that the Deracine team is working on a new collab with Studio Japan again (the guy who initially leaked Bloodborne said that it was the first game under a 3 game contract), the Sekiro team is probably getting started on DLC if it’s happening and in preproduction for their next main project, and the Armored Core team is working on Armored Core still.

What do you think the Deracine and Sekiro teams are working on now?

I did carp after divine dragon. maybe killing the fish slave fucked it up?

The mid-air combat skills are all really great and currently pretty underrated judging by how everyone is hating on the combat arts. The spear pulls the fucking centipede out of the headless ape's neck for big dick damage.

The Portuguese didn't use full plate armor.

bloodborne 2 i hope

Sekiro had great gameplay but Bloodborne's
atmosphere and setting is unmatched.

What is the prosthetic in the top row of the upgrade menu? It's the only one I'm missing

>maybe killing the fish slave fucked it up?
Might be. Well doesn't matter anyway, there's something I can do in NG+ after all.

spear?

As much as Bloodborne 2 would be cool I kind of hope it isn't so I don't have to buy a PS5.

You can beat them without too much trouble with the purple umbrella, purple jar and sacred tanto without any confetti if you're careful with item management and decent at blocking.

The purple umbrella in particular basically tells them to go fuck themselves since it blocks all their physical and terror damage including those little homing projectiles, the attack you can do to put it away chunks their health for a good amount, and when you have it up they can't slow you down like normal.

You can apparently pull the centipede out of Guardian Ape during phase 2 of the fight with a pull spear

I've seen this aztec/maya obsessed user on /his, /tg/ and Yea Forums enough that I am thoroughly suspicious of unsubstantiated rumors about that. It'd be neat but that autism knew no bounds.

I'm currently in love with Shadowrush. I'll try jumping and using my Spiral Spear and also try this special Ape interaction when I get to him. You should make a video on it or something, I don't think there's one about it and it will get you a lot of views.

I mean if you want to force a meme

Oh fuck, can't believe I forgot the spear. Thanks

Bloodborne 2 with Sekiro’s exploration mechanics like swimming and the grappling hook would be awesome. Those mechanics probably wouldn’t fit in say, Dark Souls, but imagine the shit they’d have pulled in the Fishing Hamlet if you could swim. Or grappling through Central Yharnam and getting the drop on some faggot beast before cutting his buddies up with a Trick fishing rod or a Trick wheelchair or some shit.

It's pretty obvious, he even says "for the sake of my son"

>currently pretty underrated judging by how everyone is hating on the combat arts.
It's just retards that don't have enough brain cells to figure out how to use all the combat arts or prosthetics and just chalk them up to being useless or very situational. I give it a month until people truly start figuring out all the shit you can do and how strong some of the tools/combat arts actually are.

when isshin goes into his spear phase are you actually supposed to just sit there turtling for 15 minutes and occasionally hitting him once or twice? if i do anything else I wind up just getting my shit slapped and this is getting really fucking annoying

With how powerful lightning reflect is I feel like Tomoe would be a joke unless they change it no matter how she's designed.

just stay up in his face and keep deflecting. after every deflect you have room to swing at least once or twice (unless it's the middle of a big string)

There's a lot of combo mixup potential in combat arts and prosthetics I think. Gonna be fun learning to play stylishly, this is more or less a character action game after all.

Because he's European, and Euros have a history of starting shit for no reason.

What if the sword Divine Dragon is wielding is actually it's arm?

If the dragon came from the West why is it wielding the moonlight version of a sacred Nip relic

It's not that hard, the trick is to rape the brown ape. He is so fragile it should take you less than 10 seconds to kill him.

Maybe he came to nipland to get a cool cactus sword folded 10,000 times

The weapon was a present from a Korean King to the jap Empress at that time.

How many persimmons are there? I want to feed the rice loli more

That sacred relic was forged and gifted by Korea so maybe he picked it up there on his trip over from America.

The real sword was either made in Korea or China, it's unclear. Those countries are west of Japan. Also, Korean dragons have four fingers in popular depictions, while Japanese and Chinese have three and five respectively. Seath the branchless has four fingers.

Nah Emma straight up says dragonrot happened long ago and no cure was found so you can assume it was when Tomoe was the immortal and her Lord had the dragon's heritage

I'm stuck at this part and resting does nothing.
Do I have to kill the owl to get to her next step?

Seems like a big assumption senpai

>Divine Dragon was actually a Korean bio-weapon meant to turn the japs into a bunch of fountainhead water-corrupted parasite bugmen

Now that we've spent the entire game training you to not play this game like Dark Souls, here is a leftover boss from DS3

Not him but it's a reasonable assumption. We know Tomoe served the last Divine Heir that did the whole incense ritual. We know he must have had the mortal blade and part of the tree. We know the only way around the mortal blade's death curse is to be able to respawn. We know Tomoe was a total badass.

Would play the shit out of that.

He actually seems like a pretty good guy from his dialogue, the rice ball lore and the description of his younger memory saying that raising secure brought him great pride and joy and he wished to have a honorabu battle to the death with no holds bard with his son while he was in the prime of his life.
Damn shame the dragon's heritage corrupted him, he was a good shinobi dad before all that

Takeru and Tomoe never managed to complete the incense ritual. If they had then the line of succession would have ended and Kuro wouldn't have become Divine Heir. We do know they attempted it though, and something obviously went wrong.

the incense ritual only grants access to the divine realm. they could have completed that ritual then not managed to get the dragon tears.

It's a straw doll. If you pull the string you go to hell.

There is a kite, but you have to clamber over some roofs to get to it and there's a red eye Tengu next to it.

It just leads towards the Old Grave area so you can head into the Outskirts. It'll give you a primo view of the boss of the Outskirts though as you use it.

I was really expecting the 2nd deathblow to kill the horse then have to fight him on foot.

It makes sense since the Red Mortal Blade's specifically named to be the tool to get the dragon tears. Presumably if they were totting the black blade, nothing happens even when smacking the dragon to death again and again.

is this guy the jpn voice of akuma?

Thanks for the real life lore anons, much appreciated. Korea DLC when

If Tomoe is half the badass she's supposed to be she would have wrecked everything in the divine realm, I have an easier time believing they looked and never figured out how to do it and eventually her lord just got tired of all the bullshit and asked her to kill him with the mortal blade without doing the actual ritual.

Well we know he had the tree ingredients since you only figure out you need it after smelling the incense container that he used. And we know that Tomoe knew about the mortal blades, that there was a dragonrot epidemic in the past, and that dragonrot is the result of the Divine Heir's oath resurrection power being used frequently enough that the dragonrot has to manifest and suck the life out of other people to fuel it. She also fought Isshin (who presumably won since he says he only nearly died) and trained his grandson. Seems reasonable that she was given the immortal stagnation and caused the previous dragonrot.

Lol

Tomoe could've encountered some extreme bullshit in divine realm that defeated or even enslaved even her.
Even while she is a badass she is still a human.

I prefer the idea that Tomoe and Takeru would have been successful in severing the immortal lineage and purifying Takeru, but they were betrayed by Genichiro/Isshin/Owl/etc because they wanted to keep dragon's immortality for Ashina/themselves.

Sounds a lot like Dark Souls desu lad. Gods meddling with mortals, chosen undead, two schools of thought between Frampt and Kaathe about whether to commune with gods or imbibe in humanity, fight old man Gwyn in a field of ash. It's almost like Fromsoft likes to put a new spin on the same old themes with each entry.

Genichiro would have been way too young for that betrayal, Owl maybe but there's not really anything to suggest that, and Isshin is a hard sell since he opposes genichiro for trying to use the dragons immortality to the point of helping an assassin who is trying to kill him.

How old is Kuro compared to Genichiro? Presumably that's how long ago Takeru and Tomoe died.

Well, he IS immortal

the Monkey King is a bad motherfucker

The game treats that fight as if it was one attempt.

I should make one like this but with Miyazaki

Dunno, I figure Kuro is around ten years old and Genichiro seems to be in his twenties to me.

If you figure Kuro is 10 and Genichiro is 30 I could see the timeline working out. I like the idea of Genichiro betraying his teacher because he feels that is his responsibility as heir to Ashina. I hope that the DLC expands on Tomoe and Takeru's story.

>in post game fighting demon of hatred
>haha, no more curse I can die all I want and not worry about my buddies getting sick
>immediately someone gets dragon rot

Well fuck you too game, why the fuck did I bother killing kuro exactly?

Genichiro and Enma were just small kids when Takeru and Tomoe tried to commit suicide presumably failing their quest and deciding to end it.

The most likely explanation is that they got the wrong blade and they can't get the tears to finish the job so they just ended it with the Black Mortal Blade.

>Genichiro and Enma were just small kids when Takeru and Tomoe tried to commit suicide presumably failing their quest and deciding to end it.
Which conversation is that covered in?

Imagine being one of the few men in history who had the privilege of ejaculating on Gillian Anderson's face

When Enma was doing research on what Tomoe and Takeru were doing with the Everblossom at the old graves. She'll tell you that she barely remebered what Takeru and Tomoe were dancing for under the tree.
