Post one where he distorts reality to swerve in the middle of a dropkick.

This is nothing compared to what Ape does to you.

What's the joke? Considering the hitboxes are insanely good

Adaptability.

I was really happy to uninstall this trash after the credits.

Seriously who are the fucking degenerate faggots making these gay ass drawings of Kuro? These people need to be removed

He's one of the easiest enemies in the game.

Mikiri deathblows are insanely satisfying.

What do you mean, he's the easiest miniboss in the whole game. Literally just spam L1 and all your parries will land because he attacks so fast.

And yet it still is. Also Is clearly mashing R1, had he moved a swing earlier and held dash instead of tap, he would have been okay. This game punishes all your bad habits and mistakes.

So, is the game good?

He is grabbing from the sides, to right in front of him. Logically going left or right will make you go right into his fist. Go back.
Just like it makes sense that his lunge grab has to be jumped over. The only problem is how his tracking animation looks, not the existence of the tracking itself. It looks really silly.

The only issue I have with it is how easy it is to perform the counter.

spoilers dude fuck off

Insanely good. I can only think of one problem it has, which is that out of combat, enemies have no peripheral vision. They can see you from long distances if you are in front of them, which is fine, but if you are to their side they can not see you at all really. Which makes it possible to cheese some enemies with stealth.

But I feel like making the AI dumb when out of combat was by design, since the combat is so damn hard. Even with stealth cheesing being possible, people are having trouble beating the game.

Majority of the challenge comes from bosses and minibosses anyway which can not be stealth killed.

Odd question: How important are the two left shoulder buttons in this game? I had an accident at work and I'll have a few days free. I wanted to spend some of that "Mama compensation" and free time on Sekiro but obviously the two left shoulder buttons are hard for me to press.

It's okay. Honestly, i would have to give is a 70/100 if I had to score it. Playable, but not masterpiece tier.

Git gud faggot

>unpredictable hitbox and patterns
No. Parry his big downward hit to stun him for 4 seconds of free hits or use the spear pull for massive damage if you feel cheeky when he's down. His scream has a way smaller radius behind him and to the sites, so sprint in that direction immediately when his windup starts, use the time for a quick sippy from the pink gourd if necessary. Firecracker trivializes his first phase if you can't do it consistently

Why are you even on Yea Forums if you don't want to get spoiled? Fuck off dumb ass.

Anybody else think SEKIRO should have been harder? I remember the frustration that Nioh gave me and I felt masochist pleasure over it and I kinda miss that.

Sekiro

But all music is Hardbass

I'm just asking for you to use the spoiler tag

Based retard
A shockwave attack has a large AoE, wow no way?
Now show a single clip of any not-shockwave type of attack hitting you like that, you can't. They all have to visually hit your character, just like all of Isshins physical attacks.

You're a special kind of stupid if you think Sekiros hitbox actually extends from where he is to that visible line. If that was the case, you would get hit by all attacks from that far throughout the whole game, since a hitbox does not vary, a characters hitbox is the same throughout the game.

This means, Isshins shockwave has wider AoE than it visually looks like. Just learn to avoid it.

Right now it's the flavour of the month, but the game is alright.

I dont know if this is a joke but L1 is the most important button in the game

No the official thread is the general on vg you goon go there

Can someone tell me how I get back to pic-related location? I already collected the item at (2) but there is one more at (1). Can't for the life of me remember how I got there. I'm standing on top the temple with the centipede long-arm miniboss btw.
Also pro tip: If you experience random stutter even though your GPU isn't at full capacity, literally plug your ethernet/turn off wifi. Worked for me, there is also a lengthy discusion thread on steam forums.

I'm happy I beat genichiro 5th try. I was super worried and held it off because some one told me.it was the hardest fight.
Butterfly bitch was pretty tough and the general mini boss (spear) was a fucker
(I have not finished game just got to innerstantum)

>bad habits and mistakes
it mostly punishes logic and placement gameplay, once again relying 100% on the time you do the counter move, and not where you are. Fucking garbage.

Nothing unpredictable about him. Killed ape on my 3rd try. Just get better dude.

1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1

Learn the rhythm of the game. It’s teaching you to watch your opponents style and react accordingly.

Oh I also forgot to mention I've been diagnosed with aids

L1 is parry and L2 is grapple
You can rebind them

Best game I've pirated in a while
Well done japs

Kill yourself.

You need to fly the kite to grapple there

Give rice to the old woman at the temple, she tells you

The best FROMSOFT game honestly.

So which pot noble did you guys choose?

I wish the OST was stronger and I’m concerned about long term replayability, but the character design, progression, combat mechanics are all super fucking cool.

So hostile. Got something you want to get off your chest, buddy?

>BUT SHOCKWAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pathetic.

1. Get the mind controls shinobi art
2. get to the very first Mt. Kongo idol
3. drop down and run near the kite
4. mind control the midget

But Sekiro is harder than Nioh. You can just cheese enemies with musket headshots, block 100% of damage and all kinds of stuff in Nioh. In Sekiro you really have to get good.

it's not. I'll probably just wait then. should be healed in a week or two.

>you fight an enemy who wields a sword
wow what an enormous spoiler

You better get out of the thread before I spoil the whole game for you, lmao.

I think it depends on what you did before going there

Are there certain attacks that you cant block if you're too close to enemies? Besides perilous attacks of course

I swear I keep getting hit even though I'm blocking

Not even the same user. It was a genuine question. No one should be this angry.

>get BTFO by facts
>"p-pathetic"
Pathetic.

I'll write it again since you seem to be too fucking retarded to figure out what the word hitbox means.
That clip has nothing to do with hitboxes, since you do not take damage from any other attacks hitting 5 feet away from you to the ground. If Sekiros hitbox was so large that it actually extended over there, then this would happen constantly throughout the game.

Yet that can only happen from Isshins or Divine Dragons shockwave attacks. You still following retard? Guess what that means? It means their attack has an area of effect. Not related to character hitboxes at all.

that's a shockwave dude

That doesn't excuse the visuals not showing said aoe though

Ah, then yeah you might want to wait. You can rebind as other user said but unfortunately I'd just hold off.

He obviously saw the bosses name idiot, that is a mega huge spoiler

No, just annoyed by how retards go into game discussion threads then get surprised or angry when they get spoiled. If you don't want to get spoiled, don't come on Yea Forums to talk about a game you're playing. Only a retards would come here then start bitching about getting spoiled.

It's women

Should it show that? Probably, maybe. But a lot of games have AoE attacks that don't show the area, you just have to learn its range and then learn to stay outside of it. Thus it is probably like that by design.

Oh my god, Sekirofags are just DS2fags. Now everything is clear.

Seriously did your dad beat you or something?

Still seething over getting proven to be a retard? Calm down retard, you're making yourself look dumber with every post.

Oh my god, you are mentally retarded nigger. DS2 has actual bad hitboxes, Sekiro has perfect hitboxes. Are people on Yea Forums really so fucking mentally retarded they can't figure out what "hitbox" means? It isn't fucking rocket science. You would have to be insanely unintelligent, like somewhere around 50-60 IQ to think that Isshins shockwave hitting you like that has ANYTHING to do with your hitbox size.
Like holy fuck you would have to be SUPER retarded, it is so obviously the case that the shockwave itself has an invisible range that extends that far to the sides.

>Parrying still damages your stance

I just realized this. Why is this a thing?

Attached: 39b.png (204x193, 49K)

Thanks guys.

It shouldn't damage poise if you deflect perfectly.

Because you didn't perfect parry. You get zero posture loss if you time it perfectly.
Non-perfect parries increase posture break buildup in order to punish players who just mash L1 instead of actually reading enemy attacks and timing them.

I think it's only certain heavy attacks that still damage posture on deflection. I also think it's the games way of telling you to dodge them instead but idk.

You're both wrong. The attack that comes afterwards is a shockwave. The helmsplittier "shockwave" but not the echo is a normal attack. He can even take posture damage if you deflect it. If you're curious, his helmsplitter also has similar properties and so does his spear slam. They have to be perfect dodged or you'll get hit regardless of where the animation for the attack actually lands.

Got me. Better get used to always landing perfect parries so you don't get broken.

It does damage posture if you perfect deflect. That's also by design.

anybody here bought the game after pirating it? can you transfer save files?

Guard 5 times, jump, or guard 7 times. It's not that hard.

They were thinking they wanted you to feel like a badass when you perfect parried its attacks.

Shockwaves.

I was also a bit perturbed that the cutscene is pretty much the same except he falls to his knees first and still makes fun of you after cutting your arm off.

I'll admit I was kinda spamming the L1 button there, so they weren't all perfect especially near the end of the second phase. The other centipede dude in the temple I did a lot better with the DDR parries.

I've beaten every boss in this game (including Owl 2) in less than 5 or 6 tries but the fucking thing is pissing me off. The hitbox is too perfect on him that I miss and too janky on the flames that they hit me lol.

Your posture bar absolutely does fill up from deflecting. Go to hanbei right fuckig now and test it yourself. Stop lying to newbies who think theyre parrying wrong. All deflecting does is prevent you from getting posture broken and does posture damage to enemy. It DOES NOT prevent posture damage being done to you.

Can I do the alternate Hirata Estate and still do the Return ending? I have the frozen tears already, but does beating Owl again lock you into the other one or not?

Don't want to miss that rematch if I can help it, round 1 was fun as fuck.

They've got way less health than the first fight, and you only need to kill the white one. It's very doable.

Yes, but sometimes youll still have to hit them again

Joke only works for Dark Souls 2

Yeah but it's a pain in the ass. I fucking hate that mechanic too. I hope someone mods it out.

>>combat arts feel too slow and useless save for maybe Ichimonji

Nightjar is a great if you've dodged an enemy attack and are too far away for a normal counterswing.

Every boss pisses me off in some way

At this point I just enjoy my small victories like beating the blazing bull and Eisen on my first try. I feel like the game absolutely wants you to play it their way cause some of these mini bosses are just fucking ridiculous.

Yes it does, and I was able to make the Snake eyes poison himself by standing in the pool long enough. If you are not seeing enemies be poisoned or burned they haven’t reached their threshold yet.

>The version of this game that's just a little bit more combo heavy with weapon swapping

I know DMC5 just came out but something a bit more grounded (figuratively and literally) would be sweet.

Oh yeah! Got the mortal blade.

You can choose any ending at the end, it depends on what item you use on Kuro, but you're then locked into the ending you chose.

I do agree with the loot complaint. I haven't even beat the game but it's frustrating when you explore entire levels and the only loot you find in most places is stupid shit like sugars or ceramic shards. This is one thing Souls did better since you could actually get some really good weapons by exploring but not much here.

Some people are saying vendors like the ashina gate guy will restock on dragon's blood droplets after some time. Can anyone confirm?

I fed this fat rice loli like 7 persimmons including kotaro's why the fuck isnt she moving?

The buttons are remappable in options, and game is pauseable so not needed but i agree its weird they did that

One of the easiest minibosses in the game.

she is digesting all those persimmons. stop force feeding her.

Using CE and playing with undying on is a much better experience. I don't know why they limited you to only one death when your character connonically cannot die.

Headless wasn't too hard. Don't try to dodge, just parry and use the confetti and attack candies to kill him quickly

I only use my items to cheese bosses into oblivion as they are worthless otherwise.

Actually he's the first I went to see. What's the deal? I thought I'd put him to rest right there.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA why can't I still beat Lady Bullshit even though I've literally played enough I know exactly what to do

I agree with all you said but:
>resource system for prosthetics, why is it running on spirits that you have to *buy*? What would the game lose if emblems were free?
Only because I see why they would make them so easy to get and buy that being free wouldnt allow fora scenario where shitters die so much they couldnt buy more in large quantities for replenishment and therefore have to adapt before getting more. I agree that its a niche scenario tho

Why? are they hugging?

Ashina Cross is actually pretty good because you can choose to release it when the enemy starts an attack animation.
Nightjar slash is sleepe OP though. It makes any of the drunkard copypasta minibosses a joke. Instant gap close, quick so you don’t overcommit, and great damage. Feels cool to use too.
Is the 9 cost in the ultimate skill tree any good? I have a good skill grind route but I don’t wanna commit for something that’s not either really cool looking or at least a bit useful.

Max memories before final boss? 11?

Ok, what the fuck. So far, this is by far the hardest enemy I fought. How the fuck are you supposed to beat him? He block 99% of my attacks, he kills me in 3 hits and can easily combo me to death, and he barely takes any damage when my attacks actually do land.

I wish the startup frames counted as a perfect parry it would look so cool.

I actually think having a smaller area is better. You get unlimited run so I dragged him to the small part of the courtyard and ran in circles around him. The bull would get stuck sliding to turn to face me and it allows a free couple of hits.

Jump on top of him to do some damage.

Try it on another playthrough.

What the fuck, really? I killed all those fuckers pretty easily without ever doing this.

Go to the point where there are three items in a circle on the ground. Its on one of the lower levels. Look up towards a cliff.

Grapple up to that cliff. A little bit forward will be a clone of the fat poison sword guy from Hirata estate, and three monkeys. Fight him if you want, or jump on up onto a ledge and onto more grappling points.

theres no timing, just press r1 before you land

if that's the ledge next to the statue in the swamp place, you have to go to where the snake is in the cave with the monkey and get past it. Once you do there's a ledge you grapple to and you end up where you're looking in that pic

sitting in your inventory along with the other 50 useless items

The only really hard part about Guardian ape is his phase 1 diving grab attack because its hard to react to. You might think he is just doing a regular diving slam that you can block or parry until he gets into the air and the danger symbol comes out and you realize you are way too close too him to react properly. Otherwise he is very fun to learn and VERY easy to counter and stagger

Is there a way to farm droplets or are they limited?

Good luck user you're in the endgame now.
Sorry you got spoiled.

You're not being aggressive enough, probably. Lady Butterfingers can be easily dealt with by attacking twice, deflecting or dodging her counter attack, then keeping on her ass. Shuriken when she goes in the air and use any remaining spirit emblems for Firecrackers when you're going in for the kill.

If anything "takes too long" it's usually because of that. I would suggest beating the boss of Ashina Outskirts before taking her on, in case you haven't already. Beating bosses increases the vitality and posture damage you deal and he's easier than she is.

I don't really like Nightjar, I mean it's good but in terms of utility it's not providing much more than just running-stabs. Using it to escape has limited effectiveness since you jump back or you don't back down at all.

Ichimonji is the best Combat Art by far, it provides all the good stuff that regular attacks don't and your reward for landing it is massive. The fact that speedrunners use it to cheese bosses is pretty indicative.

Upgrade materials, because for the the majority of the game your Prosthetic tree options are locked off. You only notice them when the game is almost finished.

Nice customisation From.

yes really. you'd think they might stop jumping around after having their leg smashed into the ground but noooo

Lmao get good
Ape boss was fucking ultra god tier

>literal gimmick fight
This thing wears out it's welcome the first time you one shot the fight and only becomes tedious furthermore.

Ashina Cross isn't worth the resources you use for it. The final tier of shinoboi prosthetic attacks gives you a fire sword. Fire sword does damage and burn buildup through block. Burn causes enemies to be vulnerable anywhere from 3 to 6 seconds. You outright can't get more damage and windows in this game than that.

Nightjar slash would be useful if the damage wasn't so shit on a successful hit, it's reversal wasn't so shit at actually evading attacks (it's worse than the lazulite blades RB evasion).

Oh and the 9 cost skill is literally worthless and it's frustrating that I wasted the points on this.
Quite literally the only combat art worth using is ichimonji.

Do you have any more specific tips for Ape please?

I'm just stuck on him.

Lightning is basically a OHKO if you got caught on the ground

Shuriken her dick hole when she jumps around. Swing 3 times at her, deflect, repeat. 2nd phase dont leave her alone for one second.

>shank this dude straight through his stomach
>lame blood spray and no gore or anything

I feel like the deathblow animations could have used a lot more variety too

Oh yeah Ichimongi is SS+ tier for usefulness but it’s boring as shit

Ludwig isnt a giant boss, hes just like a taurus demon
Midir was dogshit awful

It's a spectacle boss, it's probably not supposed to be hard, but the visuals are so fucking good. Literally kino.

If any boss is taking more than 2-3 minutes, you're likely not being aggressive enough. This game at its core is about breaking posture. The more aggressive you are, the easier you break posture.

The mortal draws have their uses though

Kino

Muh shockwaves is literally the das2 defense

>Breaking Demon of Hatred's posture

Kino. One of the best fights in any FROM game.

That's mechanically a Dark Souls boss though

Their "use" is damage through block. You get more damage by setting an enemy on fire. It's almost 2 to 1.
AoE is whirlwind slash or charged fire spear.

Phase 2 is a literal gimmick fight in which he kills himself with that stupid lightning. Isshins final phase is similarly fuckedu p for that same reason.

No? You always get posture damage when deflecting, even if it's perfect

What's the best ending you can get?
Return?
Purification?

It applies for just about everything but ape and demon of hatred. Those 2 are basically DS bosses in Sekiro

Unfortunately From has a boner for making cool stuff completely useless. The only time they made a fun gimmick useful was the Twin Greatswords in DS3 and guess what, they were overpowered and cancerous.

Having Combat Arts cost Emblems instead of just giving them a cooldown is fucking retarded. You spend enough Emblems on Prosthetics just to make them impactful, but then the game throws in Ninjutus too. There's no realistic way you could fit Combat Arts in as well.

Even the solution to this problem, the blade, only gets three uses so you can't even trade heals to make use of them. No fun allowed.

how id the fuck? didn't know you can deflect lightning attacks

What's the way to move to dodge Demon of Hatred's 3-4 hit swipe>swipe>stomp>potentially another swipe combo? That's the thing that's fucking me up most on this so far and I'm getting really frustrarted.

Can anyone tell me how to go deeper into Ashina Depths?
Before you jump down to snake eyes, there are some platforms in the previous area with grapple points,but the last grapple point doesn't lead to anything deeper,but implies you can come back up from some where

I felt that way too, but you literally just have to run around the room and you'll see he has like 3 attacks. and you just stab in between.

>This also made owl trivial as fuck.

t. discord tranny

They definitely should have had a separate cooldown. It’s also weird how each sprit emblem upgrade in the tree only gives one or two extra uses. Feels like they made the prosthetics first then realized through playtesting how they could trivialize a lot of content if they had no limits, so the spirit emblem system was jammed in to try and fix it.

I wish O'Rin of the Water showed up earlier in the game, she forced me to git gud at deflecting.

it was something after the ashina elite fight yes? I think I read something about lightning but I skipped it before fully understanding it.

I wish there were more enemies like her. I hope Sekiro 2 has things like that just appear out of nowhere and fuck your shit up.

does the anti-air tech work on minibosses and bosses too or is it just for mooks? I'd like to know before spending 2k on it.

>The charge stab jump spin attack is

Yep, only social influences were actually told this via a complimentary pdf. The game itself never fucking tells you this once because #preparetodie. The game throws tutorial pause screens at you but neglects to provide illumination on the specifics of the single most important mechanic in the game.

It also doesn't tell you that bosses need less than 25% vitality and posture damage cannot be regenerated at all, it's not "lower regeneration", once you get them low enough you will literally be inflicting permanent posture damage. This is also important to know so you don't fall for "le aggression" meme, you can actually afford to be play extremely defensively when the boss is at low health so you don't get hasty and eat shit.

No wonder people are having trouble. If you don't know these basics then you are objectively going to play worse.

Why the actual fuck would you not put Sword Saint in god tier? Butterfly is good and Gyoubu is no more than meh.

Can/should I kill the priest in mibu who gave the villagers aids water?

It works amazingly on Isshin though what the hell? It's usually free damage because the AI is retarded and doesn't see it coming, you can also skill dodge with it with th jump. It does a ton of posture and vitality damage. Never had a boss counter it unless they were mid swing and I get flattened.

3/4 of his posture=done

lol imagine needing to get bosses to the point where they can't regenerate posture to win. lower health definitely does lower posture regen you brainlet. apparently about 25% is the point at which posture regen reaches 0.

The deflect increases posture is really noticeable with kuro’s charm or with the bell own

pop the stealth sugar and sneak around to the right

What are they?

You need Confetti if you want to hurt her HP or try to destroy her posture, works too.

the game also tells you that repeatedly pressing l1 makes it harder to land a parry

cope

You can reuse them. I just stopped using them as the attack increase is relatively small and the game is already easy as piss with everything stacked against you once you learn the fights.

Unfamiliarity is a problem that's only a problem once. So at this point you start using shinobi tools just to spice shit up and nonstandard arts just to test their viability on bosses.

I also autistically tested the monk skill that increases candy time. It also increases the time you get for the permanent items you get from killing headless
Permanent Item: 15 seconds
With skill: ~23 seconds
Candy: 30 seconds
With skill: ~46 seconds

>It works amazingly on Isshin
No it doesn't. It's shitty on Isshin. And in fact to prove this point I'm going to get a webm later tonight. He does hold the jump followup. He attacks you after it. The points you can use it on without getting slapped in the face or hit with one of his staggerproof attacks if on spear are periods in which you can get literally far higher damage by countering with ichi or using flame sword.

Oh and High Monk is also shitty for that same reason. It's final attack comes out to slow. It will get stuffed 100% of the time by most bosses and a large amount of minibosses even when you use it to counter sweep which it has sweep iframes from frame 0.

Surprisingly, most of those deaths were using fire spear on every single boss in the game and seeing if I could land the followup. In my last run (#4) I was deathless allllllllllllllllll the way until fucking snake eyez at gunfort.

Killed butterfly, killed horseman, killed genichiro, fucked up monk, beat up some monkeys, and I die to fucking snake eyes because I'm shit at this game and didn't dodge the fucking grab.

I forgot the stealth sugar exists. Thanks

Guess I'll just practice her until I can reliably parry her stuff and then maybe pop a confetti or two to seal the deal. Thanks.

yeah its a posture battle. if you follow her dash backs she won't be able to regen posture. confetti is completely unnecessary. maybe for phase 2 if you want to get her vitality down a bit quicker than usual, though its still unnecessary. you get free hits at the start of the fight so you don't need it for phase 1.

I've heard poison cheeses her too.

Sneak to the right and use the delayed whistle on him and move back to the idol until his back is towards you. Make him a puppet and destroy the HP of the boss.

Don't chees it like those guys are telling you to. You only have that fight once, prove you aren't a bitch.

You're just using it wrong. First phase it's perfect for engaging and second phase you can use it when he's about to bitch out backwards. You can dodge his sweep and catch him with it when he lands, it's kino as fuck. You can also use it after mikiri counter.

Having swapping for combat arts would only be an improvement.
There should have been 3 combat arts on at all times and then one button dedicated to cycling through.
This doesn't make any more cuhrayzee and le ebin DMC wacky, it just makes the game more fun. As it stands now, a ton of the combat arts just aren't that great, but if there was a possibility of combining them together then some of them would see a lot more use.

You csn deathblow her to by going behind her and jumping on her (until she staggers) it activates a deathblow window.

Stays close
Jump away when you see the danger sign
If she attacks by a swing from her left, parry and ripost
If she attack by a swing on her right, she'll follow up with a couple more hits then a kick, then a shot. Deflect the kick and sidestep to your right to dodge the shot reliably.

It could be bad translation, but the point is the game has a training dummy and all sort of hints and it doesn't make it clear. It's so important and they spend more time talking about Dragonrot and Unseen Aid which everyone now knows are irrelevant.

Even if somebody is told that repeated parry attempts are less effective, that doesn't make it obvious what "effectiveness" is. Is it posture damage dealt, posture damage reduced?
Neither, it's literal I-frames.
Parry "attempt" means every time you press the Parry button but it's not impossible somebody will assume a parry attempt and a deflection are the same thing, or that Parry attempts reducing in effectivness could occur to a whole fight and not just a combo.
What IS the cooldown on I-Frames? The game doesn't tell you that either.

For a game that's "not souls" it's still obtuse as fuck to an unnecessary degree. Why the fuck does Vitality start at 10 and Attack start at 1, if they're both on arbitrary scales?

You should absolutely be aggressive and on the case of bosses for most of the fight, but when they get to low health there's no reason to do this. Once they're low you should focus on healing, let themselves kill them on your Deflections and deal any extra posture damage you can because any direct stabs have diminished relevance.
Most bosses will be near deathblow range at 33% vitality, but not always, and people will get themselves killed overextending if they don't know just how pathetic and weak the boss is at that point. The game doesn't tell you this and it should - it's not "lower regeneration", it's none and that means people will die less.

How do you actually get a game over instead of just being sent back to the last bon- Sculptor's Idol?

if you want to cheese it you can just get him to his spear phase and literally lockon to him and sprint counterclockwise around him non stop until he uses his overhead jumping slam. You get room for 1 charged attack then go back to sprinting. None of his moves will be able to hit you, even the new ones he gets in his last phase

Because the game didn't fucking tell you properly. Don't worry, it's only the single most crucial mechanic in the entire game.

And there you have it folks.
Important shit the player needed given only to reviewers to get better scores.

Wrong shitter.
It will be seen as better than DkS 2 and 3 but not as good as the rest.

just parry all hits even with red sign
easy kill

Genichiro
Attack until he yellow deflects. Then block the follow up. Block the jump attack and become able to react to all three attacks.
Isshin 1
Run don't sprint (he has run react) towards him. Attack until yellow deflect. Defend the follow up. 9/10 it will be his lai double strike. Don't get close and just sit there until the second flash and deflect both hits for great posture damage. If he attacks after yellow deflect, let two attacks land, than hit him until yellow deflect and repeat. Use umbrella to avoid the first shockwave if you're unfamilar with dodging.

Spear
Same strategy but you can manipulate his AI this time around. Dodge (don't block) the jump slam. Attack in ass until deflect. His big fuck off huge combo attack should be backed out of if you're unfamiliar. If you block the slam he will almost always backhop which lets his posture recover.

If you fuck up a deflect and he jumps back, heal if he's out of range. This will force his AI to use the jump attack which you will dodge for free damage. This stops his posture recovery.

Last phase. Same as spear phase. Be more passive so you can better react to lightning. He will ALWAYS start the phase with lightning.

>first phase
He's quite literally easiest when you don't use an art or skill at all in the first phase. You can force him into an aggression loop.
>second phase
He should never be back hopping ever if you avoid the last knockback in every string. It does less damage as I mentioned during his "points of vulnerability" than using ichi or using the flame sword.

lol you wish. the butthurt from bloodborne fags should let you in on how great sekiro is. we finally have a good non-souls game so bloodborne can finally be taken off its pedestal for being something new and different. bloodborne just looks like another souls game, except a really shitty one, more than ever with sekiro out now.

I thought it was made only for enemies that take 0 damage without it. That's all I used it for.

eat sugar
first phase is done from middle tree
second phase is done from far tree
third phase just anti air deathblow

But the shockwave itself is nowhere close to the player. You can clearly see it here Yeah, the sword missed but so did the shockwave which is not even close to the player's hitbox. There is no visual indication that the shockwave actually touched your character.

His hitbox clearly hit your hitbox

You can kill every Ghost without Confetti due Posture Deathblows. Confetti increases damage towards those type of enemies. Shichimen are annoying to kill without Confetti since you cant increase posture since they barely melee attack.

FromSoftware peaked for me with Armored Core For Answer, and then Dark Souls 3. JUST MAKE BLOODBORNE ON PC YOU FUCKS. I'd GLADLY pay the full $60 and $30 for DLC for a PC port of Bloodborne that can be played at 144+ FPS with motion blur turned off.

>But the shockwave itself is nowhere close to the player.
Yes it is, that's why it hit you. It's literally never hit me after parrying the chop he does. Also the character was pushed into that rock so the balance was fucked up.

at least is shows how carefully from designed every aspect, especially the combat where the hit and run metagame doesn't work on anyone they didn't want it to work on.

(You)

The main chracter is a Shinobi.
He isnt really meant to fight honorable which is why he is an expert in stealth kills.

This game can be very unforgiving so finish them off first then worry about getting good on new game+ after you have seen everything the game has to offer

yikes

oh my god so THAT is that vault over is meant to be used for. I thought it was completely useless

t. stay mad fag. bloodborne was boring and piss easy.

Havent done that ending yet

I'm thankful for all the sekiro fags for funding Bloodborne 2. Once it's announced no one will care about weeb ninja souls

Can you only get the last two prayer beads from Hirata by beating the game?

>the moment BEFORE an attack connects
>in game it says the MOMENT an attack connects which is wrong
Epic, simply epic.

why is owl such a pathetic greedy bitch? youd think the man that raised wolf would be more honorable

Isshin is Gehrman 2.0

Owl was a shit teacher who also couldn't help but periodically spoil his son. Wolf had many teachers.

this

What should I do first after genichiro?
I haven't quite finished Senpou, or gone to the gun fort (I know where it is though), and idk where the corrupted monk from the trailers is.

Basically, which path is the Main path, so I can know to do everything else first?

most skills are trash that won't change anything in a boss fight. mikiri counter and the tool followups, particularly the last one in the tree that allows you to put fire on your sword, are the only good ones, along with heal buffs. the stealth ones are probably good, but in a boss fight they don't matter.

But it's so much fun over leveling and one shotting every enemy in the game, user! Plus my fashion souls!

how is the world design, is it cool or just bland garbage like dark souls 2 and 3

DO you fight him in 2 spots in thegame?!
I have seen this and another picture of him in the burning temple where you fight lady butterfly

>t. idiot that died to Orphan 100 times

Sekrio fags love revisionist history

>or gyoubo
bro.......

Senpou is the next main story quest area.

Pocket sand and firecrackers

what the fuck do i do with money?
im saving up right now to buy the 3K thing from the merchant, but other than that it seems pointless

what is fire sword good for I find it useless since it lasts 5 seconds

Defeat him first. The game sends you to collect the 7 Dragonballs.

I really hope that's the case. I bought Bloodborne/DLC for the PS4 and I literally had to take a break every 15 minutes or so because I was getting nauseous from the 15FPS and motion blur.

I think they mention the stone in depths first though right?

>Play Bloodborne again after being done with Sekiro
>Realize how much easier BB is in every way

>men with swords good
>monsters bad
Shit taste

Never gets old

Ashina Outskirts/Castle is bland but Mt. Kongoz/Mibu/Sunken Valley/Fountain are all pretty cool.

>You fight the Ashina family trying to rule everything
>Thanks to monks, they developed immortality systems to counter the dragon blood
>Players has to fight spiritual and warrior beings
The game is literally BB 2.0

I still don't understand it, can you explain?

Don't waste your time with this game. I beat it and wish I could get the time back I spent all weekend slogging through the horrible bosses and mechanics. The story is terrible, makes absolutely no sense, and you don't get rewarded with anything for beating the game.

sunken valley/gun fort and mibu village are where you are supposed to go next. kuro tells you to go behind the castle to sunken valley for reasons i don't remember and he tell you to go to jump into ashina depths and find mibu village to get some kind of stone. im pretty sure senpou temple is supposed to be last.

But he hasn't gotten the mortal blade yet first? I thought it was mortal blade first, then the two subterranean areas in whichever order you please.

Ok thanks, I kept second-guessing and doubling back.

you sound like a faggot, user

For me, Owl was only scary if you tried running away from him. Constantly be in his face and parrying his slow ass attacks and he becomes your bitch for practically the whole fight.

Monsters dont fit this games playstyle. Even Monk is stretching it.

The umbrella protects you from his terror scream

>>>/souls/
>>>/casuals/

>demon of hatred is the sculptor
Vaati got one point, he's a pretty cool faggot

>you don't get rewarded with anything for beating the game.
lmao what are they supposed to do? email a printable pdf certificate of completion with your name on it?

Holy headcanon batman.

honeslty funny

Ok why is the bull so fucking bullshit, the only chance i get to be anywhere near him is with firecrackers but i run out before i kill him

flame vent and mikiri counter

here is your hint for today

Who would have fucking thought the one armed demon that looks like the sculptor and Isshin implying the Sculptor was the Shura he cut down was the Demon of Hatred.

just 1v1 him swords only you pussy. or use shuriken stab

Attached: 1548441271571.jpg (1006x924, 232K)

play like it's bloodborne and side step. It will become the easiest fight in the game

The bull is easy, he only needs one Deathblow.
Just run the fuck away.

Running is overpowered in Sekiro since you're sanic and have no stamina cost. If you dash full pelt he will often have to slow down before hitting a wall, at which point you hit his face twice and run away. You also have Firecrackers so that's half the fight simplified.

The only thing you need to worry about is when he goes full buckaroo at low health, and when he does he'll often just run into a wall and then knock himself over.

THIS IS A GOOD ASS FUCKKNG THREAD!
This is how game threads should be.

Calling out the bullshit and gving helpfull advice and strategy

based

>All that Ichimonji dick sucking
They knew how useless they made all the other skills and still didn't change anything

>E-Peen: The Game
I have a feeling that the game wouldn't get nearly as much praise here if it were easier. The entire appeal of the game is based around how hard it is and how big it makes people's dicks for 'gitting gud' at it. It has the same shitty hitboxes and artificial difficulty as DaS2 and yet it gets a free pass.

Dark Souls and Bloodborne are better, as they are challenging but never unfair like Sekiro.

The level design is really good
Its like the interlinked open world of DS1 but way bigger and you have complete freedom of movement

Guardian Ape is literally the best boss

I rebound my controls:

X: attack
Y: parry
LB: talk
RB: change prosthetic

Much easier to play.

Unlock and just keep running around him, go in for a couple hits every time he stops retard flailing

everyone should ring the bell no matter what. it gives a massive boost to item drop rates and some enemies drop really good shit. all it costs is enemies aggro easier which is literally a non issue.

>dark souls 2 does it
>HAHAHA B TEAM LMAO
>sekiro does it
>BASED MIYAZOTER

>Tengu is Isshin
In hindsight I was pretty dumb not realizing this.

It has a literal spoiler box you fucking retard

Do you get more memories in NG+?

Woah dude you totally BTFO'd him great job!! xDD

>sekiro
>unfair
shitter detected who doesn't understand why dark souls is called "fair"

Shit taste, faggot.

You just find it funny that he farts and flings poop

How to cheese snake eye asshole?

that has been mostly my tactic but i swear sometimes he just runs faster than i can runaway/dodge and i get fucked, i'll give it another shot

How 2 Genichiro?
I have 7 sippies but I still run out of healing during his final phase

it's quite literally the best art in the game bar none. It does more damage than the fucking axe. Recovers posture. Can be used in 100% of your fights.
It's the only other ability you have in this game that does more guaranteed damage than your basic bitch charge thrust in 100% of the fights.

The game would be shit on if it's easier. The only thing making sekiro good is it's (relatively fair) gameplay and it's small as shit margin of error. If everything two shots you on NG+, you have to actually engage the game the way it's intended to be played.

Don't worry, I got to Bull before I learned that you could run. Someone on a thread here had to tell me.

>If you tap the guard button rapidly this window becomes more and more strict with each button press
mashers btfo

just run

Just jump RB. I did it on the last boss like 3 times in a row. Just do it as they're attacking and should be fine.

Still seething I see.

No its legitimately a great fight, but I admit I kinda loved how they baited me with the first execution

I really need to finish the game
Also is Shura a reference to the sword of Ashura, emperor of sky in Vedic theology?

Get him into the corner where he spawns and have him run between those two close walls.

Not only is it easier to keep up, sometimes he spazzes out there and dies at 50% health.

I learned to run when I reached Ashina Reservoir by accident.

If all a game has going for it is it's difficulty then it's a mediocre game.

Ahhh, the patrician Dead Cells player.

>Quite literally the only combat art worth using is ichimonji.

I FUCKING KNEW IT!
I ass ravaged drunkard at the Hrata estate with that awsmoe move.
Stuns them and does some good posture damage

all these old women randomly dying

The game is easy you just don't know how to play.

>bodies of the ministry squad aka Nobunaga's shinobi rape gang everywhere

Normal armored genichiro is actually harder than final phase genichiro
Anyways attack until deflect and block the follow up. If you deflect both attacks in his two hit follow up. He'll respond with his combo slash 100% of the time. Always attack with a slight delay until he deflects. This stuffs his jump back. It stuffs his bow. It stuffs his run unless he's doing the run that has a sweep attached to it. It stuffs fucking everything.

Yeah.
Not sure why R1 is attack in this game because there's no Light/Heavy anymore. Proshetics CAN function like attacks but not always.
I sort of wished I thought this out properly before getting used to the controls.

I also advise all players to put Eavesdrop on L3, if you leave Crouch there and it can fuck your combat up depending on your grip/gamepad.

>ichimonji
>best art in the game
Its not even the best in its own skill tree you tard
The mortal blade art that shoots out a fuckin shockwave does way more damage
