Monkey

He's easy desu, compared to some end game bosses he's a piece of cake

The farts were easy. In fact apart from his broken grabs the first stage was very easy. Basically a typical soulsborne boss. The second stage fucked me repeatedly though until I found out the umbrella blocks his terror spam.

Just completed the double ape fight as well.

If you don't do that does he get back up again?

i beat both of the ape fights first try, u dumb niggers

The tag team is fun. You will get killed first time as the second ape always jumps in during the typical attack windows on the headless ape but eventually it's better than the first fight.

I accidentally did a no death playthrough of the entire soulsbornekiro franchise first time.

That pissed me off at the start and it looked impossible but the brown ape has really low hp, if you wait for a right opportunity to attack him it's a piece of cake

I'm only missing the final boss and the demon of hatred. Can a lore sage answer me some questions

That fight is easier though, phase 2 ape is a joke compared to 1, and the second ape gets posture broken in seconds.

Deflecting leaves you closer to him so you can get more hits in when he recovers.

Deflecting changes his entire moveset actually. He does different combos if you deflect him and it causes him to be briefly stunned.

>the umbrella blocks his terror spam
Well that would have definitely helped knowing when I did fight him, that fucking scream drove me up the wall with how frequent he was using it against me.

I really don't understand how people can miss the glowing monkey footprints that follow you.

>mibu village
their water is supplied from the corrupted lake in the Fountain head.
thats all I know so far

>having problems with farts
if you really have so many problems throw some firecrackers and eat an antidote man it's not like the guy that blocks your recovery items or something

but hey you can parry now
RUN NIGGA RUN

There's three other sets of footprints and terror ghost monkeys, the footsteps are probably white in a place where there's snow. Nobody fucking noticed those shitty footprints. I only saw him because I bumped into him, he was standing right in the middle of the path when I had gone to check the panels, tried attacking the fourth one, and then left to go search those rooms I never searched.

Weird, I never had a problem with it. It's annoying and chip damage adds up but he has a very long animation, so you can run the fuck away.

Disagree. First phase is very easy, headless stage is a pain.

If you are in getting hits you can't get away without accruing some terror and damage.

He'll then spam it several times before the guages have gone back down and kill you.

He did me in about 8 times like that before I learnt about the umbrella.

It's when the terror popped that would instantly kill me, and he would literally do it after every other attack. Had to play like a complete bitch just to clear him.

I thought i was a monkey too. Before i even killed the others i saw the footprints and figured everyone had a monkey avatar here. I just thought the delay was due to from's often poor programming.

the only bullshit hitbox there is the jumping grab
and it's still easy to avoid

The key to him is to parry the overhead slam. You won't beat him without the window that the stagger gives you from that. I spent ages dodging it and then you get the terror attack if you try and close in on him.

imagine my shock meeting him in the caves again... and they he summons another ape

Headless stage takes longer, but it's somewhat easier because he has less combos.

>Block his slithering close-up (or even better run around him)
>Parry his combo until he raises his sword high, parry that shit and enjoy 5 free hits
>If you see the danger sign jump and run the fuck away, no question asked
>If he's close to you and hasn't started waving his sword around it means he's going to scream, fuck off as far as possible

Only the one in the poison pools does

>Enter poison village right before O'Rin
>Some guy tells me there's an hunter in the outskirts and a priest at the river's source
>Try to find the hunter
>His house is assieged by a dozen zombies
>Only find Fire Resin

Was there a NPC I was supposed to meet or was the rare upgrade material the only thing to look out for.

Has anyone fought the slug man in the forest? I jumped down on him and staggered him to the point that he died without doing a single attack and it feels like a bit of a shame. Is he a fun fight?

Not really, and you'll find a shitload of them on the area

The Mist Noble ? You missed nothing. I was wary of him and kept my distance after my first deathblows but he basically just scrambled on the floor, so I just destroyed his posture in four hits and that was that

Practice on the 2ape fight then, since he already starts in phase 2. Literally all you have to do is:
>stay at some distance so you have time to run from the scream
>jump over leg swipes
>parry the slow as fuck sword swings
>parry the following overhead slam
>hit him after he falls down
You can also use the spear to pull out the centipede for massive health and posture damage, but I didn't know about that until I already beat him.

You can just ignore him and go grab the chest he's guarding, there's an anal bead in there so well worth.

Beat them first try, second try for the fight overall.

Gitting gud on Guardian Ape and firecrackers helped

>even if you fight, you can't win
That sounds like a challenge to me.

Yeah him, okay then.

Monkey actually wasn't that bad. Second phase is actually easier than the first because he stops flipping out. Hardest part is running from his scream, and that's easy.

Hardest bosses in the game are Headless / Channelers. Seriously. Fuck them.

Is there any trick to them? I used up so many divine confettis on the one in the outskirts and got nowhere due to the terror insta-kills that I've avoided all others.

this fight is not that hard. You guys are whiners

>Fountainhead Palace
>diving for beads

Lmao seriously fuck this miniboss tho.

Attached: 1493745899086.png (345x429, 246K)

can confirm, i killed him with dodging and i watched a friend parry his attacks

You just pop divine confetti and go apeshit, watch out for the terror tho
With the underwater one you just have to chip away at him while avoiding his dumbass projectiles

Almost like different playstyles have different weaknesses. I found guardian ape second stage much harder than genchiro. Until some user said use the umbrella. I had also been avoiding parrying a lot of his hits due to his size

underwater headless is piss easy just swim around in circles until the closest one whiffs a swing, then do a thrust attack and fuck off
you only have to kill one of them, the other disappears

>underwater sections
>No kappas
Shame

Attached: 300px-Kappa_water_imp_1836.jpg (300x193, 18K)

I've tried that but the terror builds up so quickly and then he whips you, you try get away to heal but can only walk and then you're just being fisted by him.

For underwater one just circle around him, dash in for a few hits and gtfo. You move so fast underwater he shouldn't hit you at all.
For normal ones - lilac umbrella and Projected Force skill helps a ton.

I loved the puzzle aspect to the fight and that you can pretty much do it at your leisure and take in the whole area. It was a bit disconcerting hearing the monk say that others had come in to chase the monkeys but things eventually turned silent. I thought that implied an invisible time limit, or that you’d also be hunted while tracking the monkeys.

Try to cure terror after he's finished some attack that leaves him open, when he teleports run the fuck away and remember that he ALWAYS teleports behind you since he wants to steal your soul from your ass, the animation for it is tricky since he keeps walking even when you'd expect him to be done

I want to modify his outfit / face textures in PS but can't figure out how the fuck to extract the files, and nobody seems interested in digging them out to provide for me, so fuck it all.

Water from thr fountainhead palace is filled with parasitic centipedes. Once they find a host, they refuse to let it die. In some cases it turns them into incredibly hostile zombies in others the person gets to retain their will but we dont really know why.

Channelers are easy, with Divine Confetti you can run uo to them and UNGABUNGA them. Just be mindful of the kamehame

Headless is a oain but manageable when you getbused to his tempo

>no nine tailed fox boss
FUCK

Has anyone swapped the character model?
Playing as Ornstein wielding a katana would be pretty funny desu

This might help

You are 100% supposed to deflect first phase monkey and you absolutely can posture break him
get fucking good

You are kind of hunted by ghost monkeys. I actually died once because I didnr know they did terror buildup.thank god for ressurection

He gives the best buff in the game though its not worth skipping him

Was trying to beat this guy and the corrupted priest ghost, and completely forgot that I had the bell demon buff on, I went farming pellets then came back and then realised I had the de/buff on. Took it off and then beat both headache Donky Kong and the corrupted priest no hits. Felt good

I've seen mods that retexture the outfit, but no character model swaps yet.

People think a lot of bosses can't be posture broken because they're bad or don't understand that posture breaking is the easy way to winning a fight.

Have sex

That's pretty hardcore, you should sign up in one of those sekiro tournam- oh right...

Thank you, user.

Time to make an actual good white outfit, along with several other variations.

I patiently waited for some decent white / black outfits, and knew that whoever did them would just wash everything in black or white without even bothering to add other colors or keep a consistent pallet variety intact.

I really don't understand how when that shit fills up 3x as fast as health drops, most movesets are built to throw out a bunch of moves in quick succession if you don't deflect one, and consecutive dodging has a massive delay.

The hunter is the purple monk in the pool by the vendor. He was outcast from the village for not drinking the water

This is one of my favorite souls bosses. He's just in the wrong game
I expected another phase but
>the ape stands up
Was genuinely terrifying after the execution
His second phase is super easy once you realize deflecting everything puts him in a state of rape
First phase isn't that bad. Stay just inside of his arms length and you won't get grabbed if you jump for every symbol. Firecrackers are extremely strong against him

It's not that they think posture can't be broken, it's just that staying at a distance and slowly hacking away at an enemy's health is the safe option for most people.
Parrying every attack is satisfying, but if you fuck up your timing on a couple of attacks your posture is going to be broken before theirs.

you're mom

Literally just parry you retards. You can parry literally every one of his attacks. Phase one should take like 1 to 2 minutes if YOU actualky parry and dont treat it as a das boss.

This is how you spot someone who's shit at the game.

What's the point of having a fucking poison sword if it can't poison anything except enemies that die in 2 normal hits with trash that ticks 0.5% hp per 4 seconds? The vast majority of these super sekkrit awzum shinöbi toolz are fucking useless and it sucks. Let's not even get started on the Combat Arts. At first I was kinda pissed because there's only 1 slot for attacks and I thought that was bullshit but then you realize there's maybe 1 skill worth using. Maybe.

Well done, sekiro.

mini-bosses

This.if you deflect him he will do retarded jump attack that leaves him open.

If you read item descriptions, maybe you'd be somewhat clued in as to what uses they may actually have, and against what, retard.

Bet half u fukkers didn't even try.

>good against enemies you never meet and even if you do you won't know it and even if you look it up you won't be using the dogshit sword anyway because it's trash
Good stuff.
I'm at Isshin now, running around the world cleaning stuff up I might have missed, trying out different tools and skills and fuck me if most of them aren't useless. Actually worse than useless because alot of the stuff just puts you at risk instead of helping you.

Headless are kappas, they even rip your anus soul

Yeah prosthetics are kinda lackluster as a whole, only your parry and dodge skills will push you forward in the end

Ended mine with a lightning reversal into shadow rush overlooking the cliff, fucking kino. I expected more out of his last phase though.

I found the invisible monkey before I ever saw the purple seeing monkey.

Sabimaru poisons nearly everything including the bosses, retard.
It also adds two new strong combo strings that can pierce guard. Together with poison this means a good chip damage to bosses which slows down their posture regen and builds up their posture.
Ignoring prosthetics is a literal brainlet choice given how much universal utility they add to the game

Holy FUCK. The Genichiro fight was amazing. Nothing in any of the souls games can stand up to a one on one humanoid boss fight in Sekiro, holy fuck, going back and forth dodging and deflecting and mikiri countering was the most fun I've had the entire game. Every death was a fuckup and a learning experience and not some dumb hitbox/ rng shit (lightning not included).
The worst part of the combat is when you're fighting a beast or a non humanoid enemy, barring the big horseman.

I dunno user, if you're talking about Guardian Ape I only just got up to him and died once and now I'm here. I keep backing up because he's a big fuck ape and it doesn't make sense to toe to toe with that.

One of the easiest bosses in the game

Daily reminder that using firecrackers invalidates your victories and permanently marks you as a cheesing faggot

I hate how when you stun him with firecrackers he always turns to specifically fall towards you. Cmon man at least stop tracking me when you’re stunned.

You can poison and chip Isshin for 3 talisman emblems.
Okami warriors can be poisoned with literally 1 sabimaru swing.
No mini-boss in the game is posoned with more than 3-4 talisman uses and it's incredibly good for the ones that guard well.
Actually try this shit by yourself to not look like an absolute moron. The game explicitly states which enemies are poison-immune. The rest are not.

Headless Ape is pretty shit-tier in terms of difficulty, which is exactly why they felt the need to just Ornstein & Smough that second fight.
He's slow as fuck and easy to deflect and as soon as you learn the tell for the scream attack he's ez pz.

Just kite them around and firecracker/upgraded shuriken Diddy kong until he dead and then dip your nuts in Headless' neck stump

Why do you need to firecracker lightning Genichiro? It's literally first 2 phases plus some easily dodgeable/ reversible loghtnings

The first phase of the monkey is easy as fuck and doesn’t even require me to pop a potion. Second phase was awful until I figured out to just start dodging behind him.

Finished the game twice now. I can slap the bosses now except for demon which still gives me a little trouble. Why are the minibosses harder than the bosses though? They are given some crazy combos that deplete your posture

this, you can avoid it consistently without issue, they just wanted the player to utilize running for at least something in that fight.

Owl 2 is such a fucking long fight. My fight was like 6 minutes long. And it took me 2 and half hours to actually beat him. Such a good fight.

You beaten Owl 2 yet?

I wish they’d had the same ape whose head you cut off appear later in the game, rather than have a second fight with its head already off.

You're so full of shit it's not even funny. If I had the means I would upload a video and disprove your faggotry in 15 seconds.
In the tens of thousands of Sekiro posts that have been written in the last week "Just use poison bro, it's great" has never been written sincerely because it's an outright lie and using poison in this game is waste of time. You did not use poison, I did not use poison, no one did. It's not a valid tactic for anything.

yep, poison is useless against anything but the Okami Warrior Women (who it fucking wrecks)
Everything else cannot justify the damage vs. spirit emblem cost

The best fight in the game until now for me, learning how to beat it felt really great.

Imagine being retarded enough to not use every tool to your advantage. It literally how the game was supposed to be played.

Poison it factually easy to land and it wrecks a ton of minibosses with hilarious ease, from the iai master in dojo to O'Rin is absolutely murders.

Yeah you can it just does quite a lot of damage and it crawls back in

The prosthetic tools are the only disappointing thing in this game.
Thought they would actually be somewhat cool but you'll only end up using the firecrackers every now and then, the other tools are just too weak or take too long to use for them to actually be usefull in any fights except for a couple of gimmicks.

He's kind of right desu. Firecrackers were made for shitters for instance.

>iai master
Or you could just, y'know, parry him. He takes ridiculous posture damage from perfects.

>You don't world a greatsword like that
It's a video game.

You also don't stab or block 15 foot long polearms with a tiny katana. A larger sword feels much better.

Ashy Larry.

t. retard

I assume you also walk everywhere you have to go.
Since, you know, a car/bicycle would be too easy.

What the fuck point is the use of unseen aid. I got it once at the start which I think is scripted. And the i never got it again until a little after beating Genichiro. I haven't been cleaning the dragonrot because there didn't seen to be a reason, could that be why?

Anyone else feel like the status effects and -items felt a little tacked on?
There were like 4 enemies in the game that use poison and it's pretty easy to avoid, and to get rid of/get resistance to poison you just use the gourd or one of the billion anti-poison items that have dropped, which pretty much equates to going into your inventory and eating the antidote.
Also all the status items feel like they last for a really short time and unless you're keeping your eye on the bottom left of the screen the entire time you'll probably end up taking hits you thought would deal way less damage than they do.
I dunno, I just felt more annoyed when finding status items and getting hit by status attacks since I just knew I'd have to run away from the fight and go into pausemode and heal that shit up. It's pretty much the antithesis of this game's gameplay.

>play as a shinobi
>expected to pretend you're some "muh honor!" samurai idiot

It's moments like the Guardian Ape that prove you should go into a game as blind as possible.
I'm always gonna remember it because it happened naturally and was cool as fuck.

Don't be that fag. It's fine to use them but firecrackers and the whistle are purely aids for shitters. The other ones have much more limited usage

Unseen aid is one of the dumbest mechanics in any game ever.
It won't help you at all in the long run, even if you keep cleansing the dragonrot frequently.

oh fuck me why did I not think of that
The whistle is so fucking useless 90% of the time I guess I forgot it existed

The game litterally gives you a tutorial on both

why the fuck would you waste time and poison the iai master? The umbrella absolutely bumfucks him to the point of the fight being a joke

Yeah I haven’t even tried like 70% of the upgrades because they seem useless. You have the crack which is good for a couple of mooks with shields, the whistle to make wolves and apes fight each other, the spear to pull armor of a single enemy I’ve seen, the continously firethrower which is a huge waste of emblems, the phantom kunai which has a few low damage homing projectiles that always theem to miss

>30% base chance to not lose anything on death
>that percentage gets lower and lower the more dragonrot you have
there

It's like a 10-30% chance of not losing your money and XP upon death. The chance drops with the amount of people who have dragonrot

Everything about dragonrot is pretty pointless mechanically. It seemed like it was going to be so punishing originally.

Why would I risk parrying when I can go into umbrella and parry him 100% safely from the cover of invincibility?
I know you're trying to sound like a real pro right now but I know parrying him isn't that hard. I did it on my first playthrough.
He's such a boring fight though and I'd rather get it over with in less than 20 seconds with the umbrella

i cleansed it immediately because i thought npcs would eventually get stage 2 dragonrot or something and die
also the fact that the mom died in outskirts reinforced this theory to me

I was expecting npcs to die, but it doesn't do shit but halt their sidequests (that are all pointless)

>also the fact that the mom died in outskirts reinforced this theory to me
That's FROM trying to scare you into thinking it's way more serious than it is. Sure worked for me for the first 5 or so hours of the game.
It's completely scripted as well that they get the dragonrot first along with sculptor so you have 0% chance of saving them lol

Looks a lot nicer in this weather. That's a cool webm though.

Spear is pretty good to close distance, even better with the pierce guard upgrade, it's basically free damage if the enemy doesn't hyperarmor through your attack. Axe on the other hand is absolutely trash, what the fuck were they thinking

They die no matter what, even without dragonrot. It happens when you finish Hirata Estate afaik

This game would be so much better if the axe, spear and shield had unlimited usage.

It ends in 20 seconds without umbrella too

I only used the axe for a few shield enemies and the whirl upgrade at the group of monkeys in sunken valley. Literally never touched it again.

I didn't notice that it's throwing its shit at you. I thought it was just some rock.

Everyone saying firecrackers are useful - should i upgrade them? Really I've only been using the umbrella tool, i sometimes use the subumaru but let's be honest it's shit and i only use it to feel like im using all the mechanics.

I had to use the anti-poison item twice against Owl in the fight I beat him. I think the status effects and the attacks they come from serve as a reminder to keep your distance in certain cases and, I dunno, give some extra flair to the fight

Firecrackers are pretty good even without upgrades, your choice I guess since most upgrades seem pretty meh.

>literally shoved his hand into his anus
>covers it in pain afterwards

>should i upgrade them?
If you are a bitch

Axe saved my ass on the castle rooftops, it's really good at breaking the ninja's posture.

Im contemplating upgrading the umbrella for ghost protection or the crackers. I spent a fair amount on the subumaru and its still terrible.

I’ve only been using the regular firecrackers anyway, don’t even remember what the upgrades do

Not really, base is fine. They are good against a certain giant ape though

yeah honestly this is one of the greatest video game boss experiences ever. I actually felt disturbed at the way it was moving and felt thrilled as fuck.

AMAZING fucking design. really it was completely fucking masterful. the player bashes their head against this king kong mother fucker and when they finally get him down, DECAPITATE him, he's still fucking coming. 2000% kino.

Upgrade the umbrella instead, the firecrackers upgrades are useless shit.

The second stage is easy once you figure out that you can just play it safe and parry all his sword stabs, parry the final delayed overhead chop, and then use the spear R2 R2 attack to pull the centipede out his neck for like 1/5th his life bar

His animation was surprisingly great when fromsoft is usually so-so on that front. It's a clear result of their bloodborne beast work.

this could only possibly be a problem for console players.

with headphones on you should hear the pitter patter of the monkey mirroring your every step.

>upgrading the umbrella for ghost protection
The best investment in the game by far.

Brehs, is sekiro just too much?

>Shuriken
ONLY useful against jumpy enemies OR if you have 20 emblems and azurite shurikens
>Flame Vent
Fairly useful against several enemies when upgraded. Another tool that's rarely useful. The cost outweighs the damage.
>Firecrackers
God-tier. Free hits, free sippy, free posture damage, pretty cheap to use
>Axe
the forgotten tool. You'll probably never use this slow piece of shit unless a shield enemy come along, at which point you will reluctantly go into the menu to equip it.

ok-tier. can be used for semi-safe damage dealing when upgraded. Personally I forgot it existed
>Mist raven
God-tier, especially when upgraded. Ghost right through your enemies or get yourself out of combos and punish them for that good dick damage.
>Umbrella
Demigod tier. Basically babymode 1-second deflect window with invulnerability. costs fuck-all to spam. Bring the flame upgraded one to DoH and laugh in his stupid face.
>Sabimaru
shit-tier against anything but Okami warriors. Don't waste your spirit emblems on this piece of shit
>Divine abduction
Useless in boss fights, really expensive and takes a long time to use. Useful if fighting several trash mobs.

Okay against the two or three beast enemies in the game if you remember it exists.

Or seething tranny who wants us to ignore things that make him look bad?

I assumed it was just ambient noises designed to fuck with the player til I started walking around slower and when I fell down off the roof into one of the rooms and it followed me after I started swinging at the air to find it. I actually almost gave up and thought it was just a trick til I bumped into its invisible collision box. Really neat little design.

Deaf players BTFO though.

I completed the "fight" but I've never even noticed this monkey.

>don't have an end tier skill for Tenga mans smwsoteric shit
FUCK now I gotta farm

Is mist raven actually good? I couldn't get it to do anything.

Guys, the sculptor is not in the shrine anymore wtf

Forgot the mist raven existed, perhaps I should try using it. How does it work exactly?

>. A stealth tool for a game with a shit stealth mechanic

uh it's useful for making beasts go wild though. at least thats what i've used it for mostly. if you use it as a stealth tool it's just a ceramic jar piece that costs spirit emblems.

Divine Abduction is actually really useful if you need to farm up some sen or specific items too because the guaranteed backstabs can be used for any number of things, like extending your sword to easily clear trash, or to make a blood smoke bomb to backstab the other nearby harder dudes.

I made good use of it when I needed some divine confettis in the castles antechamber or whatever the fuck it's called on those blue samurai dudes.

The whistle is great for drawing enemies when you're hugging a wall. They come right to you and it's a free deathblow.

It's really fucking good.
You have to use it like a deflect, so use it just before an attack hits. When it does, you can use your L-stick to choose which way you ghost and punish the enemy.
It's ez cheese for most bosses as you can use it a ton for free damage while safely avoiding damage.
With the flame upgrade it deals a respectable amount of damage to the enemy too.

I honestly don't understand people's issue with him. Grandma was harder.

it's a parry that prevents 100% of the damage of the attack that hit you no matter what it is and lets you reposition/counter attack. once it's upgraded it can even do so retroactively timed after you actually got "hit" to do the same thing. it's pretty ez mode but thankfully can't be THAT spammed.

he hated to work on any more idols and left to blow off some steam

I have a question about endings.
Which should I choose for first playthrough? I beat Monk and exploring dragon people level. I gave The Child two serpent hearts and she's telling there's other way of dealing with Ryuuin.
But I want to beat all bosses.

>Shuriken
You're fucking dumb. The shuriken into slash works against literally everything in the game and it gives you massive amounts of speed and mobility.
>Flame Vent
Massive damage when charged and you can buff your sword.

Not reading the rest you have made me angry.

Anons am I retarded or are the monk double glaive dudes like a miniboss of their own? It's tedious as fuck for one and the game just threw three at me.

I cheated in infinite money. Am I a casual?

>Grandma was harder

no you just sucked more at the game. monkey is objectively harder.

Probably just out buying cigarettes.

With the serpent heart endings you can beat all bosses. It's one of two where you can.
apart from Owl 2 that is

So? It's not like that means death for you. You just roll out of it

When would it even be useful to make beasts go crazy? The group of monkey in Sunken Valley?
Couldn’t get it to work at the two apes fight

From and their fucking decoys. They always do that shit, and in a million different ways. I remember this one bonus room in the chalice dungeons in Bloodborne that has so many fucking spiders in it, but the host always wants to go inside and clear it out because he assumes they are there because they are guarding something. Turns out there are only some cheap bullets at the end. It's like From is playing a joke on the player

yeah they're gay fags just try and sneak up between the two and backstab one of them before they react.

also use shurikens any time they jump in the air.

one of the top 10 most faggy enemies for sure

Money means fuck-all in this game. I'm in NG+1 and I have over 100k
You just saved yourself like an hour of clicking backstab

You get stunned for a second when your posture gets broken, so if it happens during the combo you're fucked.
Maybe you just got lucky when it happened at the end of a combo so you had time to recover.

>>Axe
>the forgotten tool. You'll probably never use this slow piece of shit unless a shield enemy come along, at which point you will reluctantly go into the menu to equip it.
Use it in the air after a jump kick counter. It's much faster than on the ground and does a ton of posture damage in addition to the jump, and you can follow it up on the ground with R1 for even more posture damage.
>>Mist raven
>God-tier
Only if you fail to deflect and dodge normally.
>>Finger whistle
It actually can be used to stun DoH for a few seconds.
Haven't used it against the Headless, but apparently works too.

uh I used it on a pack of dogs when I was exploring the misty areas, and yeah the monkey swarm. you could use it on the shinobis ninja dogs too to get their dog to fuck them up.

I admit it's not THAT useful.... but it is a neat effect. any time there's any beasts around you can use it to call in some blackup.

because he's actually you who killed Kuro and lived a life full of regrets and hatred.

this second Seven Spear fight is pure cancer and the hardest fight in the game by far, although I haven't found where Demon of Hatred is yet. I wanna see footage of someone doing this legit.

>shuriken into slash
Suicide because the recovery on it is retarded and later enemies and minibosses will just block it and make you eat an 80% hit. Doing it when fighting more than 1 of anything is double suicide.

I assume you're at the temple then.
Just cheese this part and stealthkill 1 of them, run away and hide, repeat.

>Bringing guns into a swordfight

>the guaranteed backstabs can be used for any number of things, like extending your sword to easily clear trash, or to make a blood smoke bomb to backstab the other nearby harder dudes
You can do that for free if you've learn the combat backstab skill that lets you jump over posture broken enemies and do a backstab in the middle of a fight.

That was a pretty fun fight.
I know you can cheese him into corner, but still.

you mean the fight with 2 dudes? Bite a stealth candy and turn the 1 health bar dude into your slave

I actually used it on some of the shinobi with dogs too, they got killed in a matter of seconds though. It’s just annoying you can’t use it for the double monkey fight considering you get it right before them

Did you guys kill the training guy at the main hub with the mortal blade? Does anything change if you don't kill him?

Bloke: using firecrackers on bosses and saying that prosthetics are useless
Woke: mixing up spiral spear & Great Aged feather for a proverbial SSS rank

Which ending did you get?

>Does anything change if you don't kill him?
afaik, no. You just keep your sparring partner. I forgot to kill him on NG+ and he didn't have any new dialogue or anything.

No, its's someone else, but he did live a life of regrets and had hatred boiling inside him that turned him into a demon showing what's going to happen to Sekiro in the Immortal Severance ending.

Immortal Severance on my first playthrough. Currently going for the other two "good" ones on NG+.

Can anyone oost that video of a headless giving Wolf an enema? It was called "the ass man"

Why is the Sculptor literally a monkey?

Chad: Using the blade only.

no. for starters you are Wolf and he's Orangutan.
he's a failed Shura who had his hand cut off by Isshin and tries to atone by carving buddhas but eventually gets possessed by hatred

Supreme Enlightened Godmode: mashing r1 until you have to mash l1 so you can go back to mashing r1

He tells you if you give him Monkey Booze. It also explains why the whistle stuns him.

No, spamming R1 is the most virgin thing you can do in this game. Viable and acceptable, but virgin

>t. guardian monkey

yeah that's what I ended up doing. What a fucking nightmare of a fight.

He just is, his moniker is Ape or Orangutan IIRC

all of them you fucking casual

he trained in the hyperbolic monkey forest to become a ninja

Why am I a casual, user?

>It also explains why the whistle stuns him
It does so because he becomes an apparition (demon), user. Unless the base whistle can stun him too

Also Emma says she was found by a rice eating monkey as a child, Sculptor says he found Emma.

Why are the bossses designs so well made? The snake is unironically scary

>he becomes an apparition (demon)
No you dumdum.
Because the whistle tool was made by, and plays the melody of, his former shinobi partner/friend/brother. It stuns him for the same reason the music box stuns Gascoigne, not because he's an apparition.

No, only the fully upgraded one does, I don't think it's like Father Gascoigne and the music box lore.

Dunno about designs but bosses animation are fucking GREAT.
Every movement, attacks, and fake outs are so well animated.

Please don't tell me that I just killed mr. sculptor

Attached: C.jpg (225x225, 6K)

Base whistle doesn't stun him so you're wrong, user

He is literally, unequivocally, a yokai / appartition when Demon of Hatred. How you could even argue against this is baffling. Its the entire fucking reason he lost his arm

There's an easy pattern to follow for their attacks depending on which one they use.
One is attack-defend, another you can go attack-attack-defend and the big sword sweep gives you a window for 3 attack before you need to defend.
When he teleports behind you, you can get free hits as long as you turn to face it right away (they won't do the grab animation if your back isn't turned against them).
Just be sure to use confetti and the attack buff beforehand so you can go unga on them after you deflect their attack.

And I thought Wolf was a brainlet for not instantly getting it...

And the Malcontent Ring Whistle does.
Meanwhile confetti and other anti-apparaition stuff have no effect.
He's corporeal, not a ghost or an apparition.

did they ever reuse giraffe and I missed it? the backend of the game has you fighting a bunch of stuff again and I always figured I would run into his brother or something.

If you eavesdrop on a conversation where the sculptor mentions why he lost his arm Wolf responds yes to the lady who asks him if he knows who he is

There's second giraffe in senpout temple. But you can sneak attack him.

They did, in the Senpou Temple

Headless are physical as well but still classified as apparition. Im not saying there isnt a thematic reason for malcontent working he is just 100% a demon obviously

I don't remember doing that. what does he say?

It's literally just Manus with less moves. Holy shit. Even Demon of Hatred wasn't that bad. Learn to not just blindly rush at every enemy maybe and not just spam L1 when something is going to attack you. Maybe learn how to hit a button in rhythm.

I'm still not sure if charging the firecrackers makes the stun longer or if it's only useful for when you get surrounded by enemies.
You don't even get enough window to charge them during most boss fights and throwing them down right away still does the job.

>Headless are physical as well
They can disappear into thin air and teleport behind you nothing personal. They're not just headless zombies, they're ghosts.

who did you guys have a harder time with, Sword Saint or Hate Demon?
Hate Demon for me, I actually had to use my tools a lot for the fight.

So? Schichimen Warriors do too. You can vanish in thin air with an aged feather

How the fuck do I get into this temple in the hidden forest? The guy said there’s a hole on the second floor but there’s no way to get to the second floor, no grapples or anything

So can Lady Butterfly, but she's both real and not an apparition

this is such a good doujin

you could parry anyway

Great name.

The malcontent ring is literally the former ring of his friend though

I remember jumping on the roof. try looking for a nearby tree or platform that you can jump from.

If you get the Sculptor drunk you find out his friend and master used the finger whistle and the Malcontent Ring was what made the sound that he missed.

From the idol go to directly in front of the npc slumped on the floor you can go jump on the trees and follow a path, you'll see a fat sumo mini boss with monkeys, keep following that path and you'll reach a grapple point for the roof.

There’s a path behind that lead to it

That's just a ninjutsu meme. You don't seriously suggest that the Headless aren't apparitions, do you? You're just arguing for the sake of the argument now.

AHAHAHHAHA

>not farming 1 shot kill Mibu Nobles in a efficient route that also requires 0 thought.

Got it, thanks chiefs

He became a canister for all the wars hatred, Which leaked unto his carvings and eventually into transforming him once the war triggered his transformation.
Probably anyone who submits to the Ashira lifestyle becomes a possible canister for the Demon of Hatred.

Shichimen Warriors are 100000000000% physical beings you retard. Just like you are, just like Lady Butterfly is, just like Owl is. Being able to vanish doesnt prove shit in this setting

>You don't seriously suggest that the Headless aren't apparitions, do you?
I'm not saying they aren't apparitions, I'm saying they're not clearly not simply ghosts

>farming them for anything other than cash and fulminating mercury
I didn't get to them and grinded on the lightning guys because I hadn't fought or even knew about the dragon fight yet and wanted the most expensive technique. I'm working toward enhanced mortal draw now.

It helps to deny his posture regen when he spreads poison shit all around the arena and you can't get close to him without getting poisoned. Not so much otherwise. Honestly, there are no humanoid bosses (except for Butterfly) who have a weakness against any specific prosthetic tool. You can kinda sorta use them against those bosses, but you very well might just R1/L1 the entire fight and do nothing else, and be just as effective.

you ask this question when king kong-sized apes, kilometer long snakes and truck-sized bulls exist?

>not farming ng+ where anything give you more exp and cash than last enemies

They're not big, Japs are just tiny.

>not wanting to use Tomoe's techniques to kill Ishinn

They are not

The ring specifically states that "Wearing this ring as you blow the finger whistle will create a somber tune. The weeping voice is full of solitude and beauty. Possible somber enough to temporarily quell a voice of rage."
There's a reason he specifically responds the way he does to it.

>enhanced mortal draw
It's fucking garbage

You clearly dont understand the japanese terminology that would lead to a translation like apparition. Yokai when translated to english is a spectre or spirit but in folklore they're physical beings all the time. It doesnt follow real life logic, and Demon of Hatred is clearly a yokai

Run strat is perfect on this guy, he has his openings so it doesnt even prolong the fight.
Also doesnt feel cheese because who the fuck wants to square off with this Bushido Bonzi Buddy?

What about the other technique based on shadowrush?

his first form was harder anyways

Dude how.. HOW!?!? Do I beat genichiro ashina?!?!? I have watched other's do it but I just can't fucking get the rhythm down. My posture bar gets molested by him. If I put space in between us he rushes or lights me up with an arrow. When I watch other it's like he never manages to molest their posture bar like mine. What am I doing wrong?

And then if I get him into his lightning phase he'll eventually 1 hit me at some point. Fucking fuck fuck!

Yeah you enjoy killing at a significantly lower speed and actually needing to pay attention to the game. Meanwhile I will stay here with my literally maxed all skill trees within 3 hours.

>ONLY WEAPONS

That’s just not true. You don’t know what you’re talking about

Ok. Has nothing to do with Demon of Hatred being a yokai

How many carp scales can you get in a single playthrough? I’m considering buying the lapiz materials instead of the last mask fragment

The Demon of Hatred is the sculptor as the failed vessel of Shura. Sekiro is also a potential vessel for Shura, based on the ending, and the fact that getting the sculptor drunk he call's you Shura's shadow. Shura being based on Asura who is all about war. The flames of war draw Shura out and the sculptor was drawn to it.

Without spoilers where do i find this bloody stone? They keep saying the bottomless hole but that just chucks me out in the ashina depths where I've done everything barr some ghost where the ape duo were.

>double ninja
you can stealth kill the first one at the start. and make him your puppet

the samurai fear the big cock

The wiki entry is a lie the Lapis is 6 per playthrough and does NOT drop off the mobs. The mask is literally useless unless you already know all skills and are playing on ng+5 or some shit.

>Meanwhile I will stay here with my literally maxed all skill trees within 3 hours.
your skill trees give you NOTHING good

You get enough to do both.

You may want to level up to have more posture desu. Their are skills you can get from Tengu to increase posture health and you can also collect prayer beads.

dunno, I wanted the charged mortal blade draw first since it sounded cool as fuck.
But the charge is way too fucking slow and while it does do a lot of damage, it's not enough to offset the risk

Play aggressive, you want to posture kill him at 75% HP. Take turns deflecting and attacking and countering non stop.
When he throws lighting you have to jump in the air before you get hit and throw it back at him with R1.

Dance around him while deflecting and trading blows. One of the most balanced and fun fights in the game imo

There are exactly enough scales in the game to acquire every item the scale vendors sell. I know because I got them all.

When he does his lightning attack, jump into it in the air and block it to do lightning reversal.

>I have watched other's do it but I just can't fucking get the rhythm down.
assuming this isn't bait that's literally all you have to learn to beat him. I died to him like a dozen time until I can deflect literally every attack he does and beat him without chugging. Also he has fuck all posture and hp in lightning form, jump and eat the lightning and wack his face

>dodging
you just walk run away from every single attack he does and he still leaves himself open long enough to run back in a get a few hits

If he's an apparition why doesnt he use terror of some form, hm?
Like literally every other apparition does?
How come he doesnt take extra posture or damage from the confetti?
He isnt a Youkai or an Apparition, he's just transformed into a Demon from the collective hatred from the war.
The sculptor himself is nothing but a vessel that reacts to the Malcontent Whistle.

If you only take skills that are actually useful and spend rest on attack power, late game bosses become joke. Difference between fighting ishinigger with 11-12 and 18-20 attack power is from hardest fight in the game to tutorial boss.

Clearly, you're the one who doesn't.
The Divine Confetti says it's effective specifically against 怨霊 (Onryou) - vengeful ghosts. Not just any youkai or a supernatural being.
And Demon of Hatred is an 鬼 (Oni). Not an Onryou.

How do people keep misunderstanding this mechanic when it outright fucking tells you how to do it in text?

FUCKING WHAT AHAHAHAHA

DoH does not have purple aura so he's not an apparition

Learn to play aggressive
can't regen posture if you don't give her a chance

I know. If you go from the normal route.
If you jump into the window they just ambush you together. That's what happened to me on NG.

genichiro was easy as well

>watch stream
>guy uses spear to yank out the centipede of the headless monkey
this game is fucking neat

go play Ghost of Tsushima this is game about a dick ass shinobi
cheesing bosses is the canon way to finish them

Is that an instant kill?

Yeah but, for one, you don't even know there's a centipede prior to beating it, and two why the fuck would anyone assume the spear would do that? To make it even worse, on the headless ape fight the fucking whistle does nothing to the 2nd guardian ape.

How long before someone do a no hit run while using the remote play phone app?

post a clip i cant find a video of it anywhere
very curious

That means the whistle works on him not because he's an apparition.
The apparition/non-apparition enemy type division in the game is binary. Confetti, whistle, lazulite flame work on apparitions specifically.
If one of the above works on the demon it's not because he's an apparition. Ergo it works on him because of the lore implications.

Man she looks like a cakewalk on NG, I only fought her in NG+ and every parry you make takes off like 30% off your posture bar and it regenerates slow as shit

>I wish they’d had the same ape whose head you cut off appear later in the game
????????

What's with centipedes with some of the immortals

The fuck u faggots mean

That is NG+, but without the Kuro charm thing.

>use it
>does nothing
Do I have to use fucking Malcontent

Fuck honor, there’s an enemy in the game that kicks dirt in your face. If they won’t play fair then I won’t.

go explore Ashina outskirts to find out

why does the standard whistle not work on 2ape

Shit really? Maybe I'm still bad at the game but she gave me more trouble than Genichiro in the other ending

Can someone explain why centipedes can control host body? They're string puppet his nerv system or something?

>stealth deathblow first health bar

HOW
The game LITERALLY tells you in the Bell's description that you are a wolf

Corruption made manifest.
Now what the fuck are those green glowing larvaes on the huge fish skeleton on the bottom of the Fountainhead Palace lake?

I'm not sure yet. The centipedes are connected with "immortality" in every case, but they're either the cause of or contributing to the immortality of whatever they're infesting, like the apes, or something that gains immortality becomes infested with centipedes. DS3 and some of bloodborne associated insect infestation with being immortal but it's not clear if they're parasites, puppetting whatever they're infesting or granting immortality to whatever they're infesting.

Baste

No, it just does a big chunk of health and posture damage.

Tips for this faggot?

Step up your game senpai

am i the only one who thought that item description meant there would be another section like that with wolves that would attack you instead of running

L1

(flame) umbrella and laugh

Either a Senpou Temle monk experiment gone wrong or centipede-infested rejuvenating waters

>orange monkey jump right in front of me
>green monkey sat in the middle tree and did nothing
>white monkey was easy to figure out
>killed them all so fast and easy i didn't realise it was a puzzle boss and spend 10 minute trying to race purple monkey to catch up to him

deflect
or spam double ichimonji

Just press deflect when you see his blade shimmer.

Those draw style faggots die in literal seconds.

How have you gotten this far in the game without learning how to deflect?

Who the fuck is that, I ran through that hallway like 10 times and he wasn't there

I think if you use sugar you can backstab him, otherwise just use L1.

I thought wolves would appear as part of the hunting gimmick of the boss fight, didn't quite put together that Sekrio is the wolf until I rang it and reset. Looking at some footage of other people doing it, does the Do No Evil monkey appear right behind you at the beginning every time?

stand still
deflect until you break his posture
jump when he does the sweep

Wait a minute that lake..

Just fucking parry him, it's one of simplest bosses.

No joke NG+ using the bell and Kuro's charm I bought 100 ungo sugars and put it on quick select because even at max health possible I can get one-shotted. I cant imagine the kind of damage later bossed will do

My reaction times are too slow and when I do fuck up I panic

You DID give Vilehand a taste of his own medicine, right user?

Attached: GITFUKDlmao.webm (640x360, 2.39M)

then just spam double ichimonji and he wont be able to attack at all

Puppeteer makes any miniboss with shit near them so easy. Its like being a summoning faggot in a single player game.

>reaction time

I did a similar thing with snake eyes in the swamps, puppeteer all the gunners and watch them mortar that cunt to death

>underwater Headless

Are you fucking kidding me

Same happened to me except I knew it was going to be a puzzle boss. All the weird environment shit does fuck all when I just randomly ran around and find a monkey that doesn't run away

would you have preferred more monster/yokai bosses?

They're easy as fuck compared to the ones on land

At what point in the game do these guys appear here?

It’s much easier than the regular headless. Pop a divine confetti before you jump in.
Later you’ll encounter two headless underwater at once

>Pop a divine confetti before you jump in
you don't need it for the underwater fights

I feel like we miss some yeah, especially a huge scary apparition boss.

They're just some carrion feeders, no deep lore implications or anything.
What's bugging me is how are the Waters of Rejuvenation are different from the Fountainhead Waters?
The Mist Nobles get turn into some fishmen, while the Ape and other immortals down below get centipedes in them.

you'll know when all the shrines in that area are inaccessible

Felt so good puppeteering a canoneer to use him against Snake Eyes on the Ashina Depths.

Though I almost died because apparently puppets have friendly fire, so I actually had to dodge his shots while fighting Snake Eyes, but he managed to posture break her first bar before dying

no, demon of hate was one of the worst fights in the game.

Only if they didn't make confetti so rare/expensive or by giving you a reusable version that uses emblems instead.

Anyone try this with a steam controller? Ive been using a switch pro controller lately (thanks Valve for amazing non standard controller support) but i ordered a steam controller because it looks neat for something like Dark Souls 3

>not popping a red clump together with the sugar for maximum unga

final boss wasnt that hard the only "hard" phase is the 3rd one. First two at a joke and last one you can just use lightning

I’m exactly fighting this motherfucker at the Foutainhead Palace with his ghost Headless friend.

>or by giving you a reusable version that uses emblems instead.
They do, user
azurite flamrthrower + that one skill that allows you to buff your weapon when using prosthetics

It works great. Personally after playing MHW and this with one I wouldn't go back to any other controller.

Just ignore the ghost version, it will disappear when you kill the other one

Yeah, I expected the game to expand on Yokai like Nioh did. But nope, there’s only Demon of Hatred and Headless I guess.

spear phase is much easier than sword phase though

.
>watch the part of his slightly drawn blade
>when it shines it's time to double tap L1
>victory

I think the trigger is when you have collected all the ingredients for the incence .

Seems like you could map every relevant function to the shoulder buttons & extras on the back of the controller and never have to touch face buttons. Maybe the touch dpad for items

Fuck this cunt. Worst boss in the entire game.

how much is the farm for all skills?

no

Attached: Sekiro™_ Shadows Die Twice_20190326134048.png (1920x1080, 2.35M)

Lol no Donkey Kong is easy compared to Owl 2

shit tase, he's one of the best

A lot, don’t even attempt it while on ng

Substantially. You're unlikely to get them all playing normally, at least until NG+2 or +3.
Can probably farm relatively quickly on NG+, but farming for exp is boring.

Nioh is much more focused on Zipangu folklore, Sekiro is just angry samurai and shinobi fighting for immortality, I didn't expect to see any youkai at all. Hell mujina in sekiro are just deformed people

do you get more xp in ng+? how much?

Someone in ng+ or ng++ got like 5000 from a single mob in a video I saw

Turns out he really was the fourth monkey

I'm pretty sure the corrupted priest infected the water with something.

A bit more boss variety would have been nice. It's good that they got away from >Big Guy With Sword but they do reuse a number of bosses and minibosses.

Is the Guardian Ape pretty much the Blazing Bull 2.0?
I don't really mean that in a bad way in any way, but the Guardian Ape kind of feels similar to the Blazing Bull to me, but made into a real deal battle comparably speaking.

Can you send Jinzaemon somewhere else?
