He has very predictable moves. Mikiri counter his thrusts, then deflect the next move and you can get a couple of hits in

He's a cunt but you can cheese him with grapple point strikes.

git gud

spam axe

keep at it bro. killing this dude was the moment the whole combat system clicked for me

Gave me more grief than any other mid boss so far.

I ended up coming back once I had the posture passives and using sugars, tried my best to head stomp when he swiped and mikiri counter his thrusting perilous attack. Stick took a beating and used most of my gourds.

You can rerun to him quickly by just running past aggro to the left and jumping up into the tower, then sneak up behind him and backstab, or you can grapple along points to the right. You may aggro one trash and have to smack them down quick.

>cheesing
That's not how Sekiro is meant to be played.

I love me sum cheese brudda.

After beating the game I guarantee I could go back and kill this dude without getting hit once.

Imagine being so bad you lose to an easy miniboss

yes it is

I cheesed every single boss. Deal with it.

seven spears is harder than most bosses by far

Wait till you have to fight him again in a small arena while he has a samurai general helping him gank you.

Give him an oil bath and set him on fire. He hates that.

oh, this fucking jokester

he is though

Wait till you fight him again with one of the sword generals to help him

Also for Snake Eyes you can just kil LA couple of her moons then lure her into the poison near the statue and then just play the waiting game. Leaping down to finish her bars off when they get low.
I don't feel bad because I'm Shinobi.

You are a fucking shinobi.

Oil him up

Mikiri counter and chain parry, he will run out of posture before you. That's the weakness of most of the enemies, chain parry until they open for a finisher.

Is it worth spending the skills points to improve posture damage on mikiri? This guy takes so little posture damage from it, are later spear fags gonna be that way?

Not sure if I had the skill points when I killed him, they're probably worth it because at least I use the mikiri counter all the time.

The ps4 had a built in record fucking you stupid motherfucker.

When do I have to worry about doing shit to get the good ending?

What about the asshole in the beginning well? He caused me way more asspain.

you're gonna love the "snake eyes" mini bosses, they are truly outrageous.

Mmm

This one is by far the hardest mini boss I've encountered so far, he's damn aggressive. Wouldn't manage to beat him without the first free deathblow.

Just killed Genichiro on Ashina's Castle and that fucking whore Emma doesn't make me any more healing gourds. What do?

She has a moveset that half of which instantaneously rapes you in close range and the other half instantaneously rapes you long range, with no in between. She also uses them interchangeably in both ranges.
>Lmao laser-guided musket shots
>Lmao git gud RNG

you can do that? i just lured him to the corner and kept jumping and slashing him, took like 10 minutes.

That would be "you stupid fucking motherfucker".

I cheesed the shit out of that fight and it made me feel bad

i ran into one of the snake eyes minibosses last night, easy as fuck compared to seven spears.

Dumb question: There is more 6 of this guy?

long term, Mikiri is worth upgrading, might as well do it now

Just mikiri counter it bro

>unknown to grabs, nor known to swipes
lmao

no

I two shot the seven spears because I knew how to mikiri counter. Their is no such easy gib for snake eyes.

exactly this

KINO

Dash in to him when his stick gleams, and parry his follow up
The other nip rune where he swipes, jump in to him and pull the stick back and jump off him

Wait, this is the Seven Ashina Spears everyone had trouble with? I thought I was a shitter but I beat him on my first try. I thought there was another boss with the same title, but a different name because of how easy he was.

The snake eyes in the cave there is.
Just aggro her and then lure her to the poison water near the checkpoint. Then all you do it get to high ground behind the big statue with the grappling hook and wait for the poison to take hold on her. Wait a few times for this to happen then swoop down and take her lifebar. Then do it again for the second one. If it looks like she's going to kite around back to land just jump down quick and lure her back into the poison then go back up again like a shitter and hide and wait.
She will rather kill herself from poison than give up like most minibosses eventually do.

But all my japanese animes have taught me that every single japanese person throughout history has been 100% honorable and noble, unlike us western pigs.

>couldn't even approach the snake eyes boss had to cheese it
>it was so much easier than the spear guy I actually had to fight
well duh user thats what we mean, actually fighting the snake eyes bosses is way harder

>quote by user, right before having firecrackers thrown into his eyes

the ONLY dangerous snake eyes move is her grab attack, and it has insane wind-up time so you can literally just hold the backwards button as soon as the red kanji appears and avoid it. none of the other attacks are any special or dangerous
seriously, snake eyes is the easiest mini boss type in the game. how can you faggots be so bad at fighting her?

There's a fucking shinobi code you dishonorable cunt.

Perhaps youre thinking of samurai. Shinobi's job was to literally do things too dishonorable for samurai. "Their covert methods of waging irregular warfare were deemed dishonorable and beneath the honor of the samurai." Assassination, espionage, sabotage, etc.

>fighting him legit when you can just cheese him like a true shinobi

that's a yikes from me chief.

They all have their own codes. Even through subterfuge, shinobi have to be honorable. It's Japan's way of life. Being cheesy cunts and abusing game mechanics is a western way of thinking.

You really cannot rely on anime and jrpgs for your japanese history.

Anime was a mistake.

Fuck both Snake Eyes. I just ran past both of them to the nearest idol to set up a backstab, then did the cheesiest combo of firecrackers and sabimaru.
I do not appreciate how they balanced part of this game. Most bosses take 5 or 6 hits to kill you. Why would a lady holding a huge cannon 2 hit you ffs.

went from sunken valley through ashina depths, killed the second snake eyes and headless ape +´wifey without dying once. am i gitting gud?

Low b8. Im terrible at the souls series and it only took me 2 times to kill him

that horse guy.. is that the jpn voice of akuma?

He is not even being damaged.

Lone Swordsman is peak artificial difficulty
