Is having a gank squad with him really necessary?

Is having a gank squad with him really necessary?

you can literally kill his squad with your seppuku partner before he even starts swinging his dick around

That fight is literally small potatoes, it’s good the game is teaching you now, it only gets worse

It seems bullshit at first, but you can just sprint around and kill 4 out of 5 of them before he even moves.
Then kill the last one, then trigger the Samurai bro and whack him to death

literally harder than the final boss for me

Okay I'm gonna try this.

As a gameplay mechanic, no, of course not, but as a thematic choice it really fucking fits. Bosses being all alone while the areas having tons of dudes is kind of stupid.
He's a bandit leader and has mooks with him like a real bandit leader would have so I can forgive them in this regard.

It’s almost like the game is trying to teach you to fight like a ninja and use stealth/speed to take them out one by one

thats how I did it
was defensive when big man was on me and offensive when big man was on asian guy

Fucking this. Plebs insist in going straight on like in souls and rolling their way out. Once I started treating the game like a stealth game first, melee combat second it instantly got 90% better.

why? sekiro is a samurai not a ninja

If you take the left path instead of approaching them, you can assassinate a shield fat and then kill a bowman before the group even completely activates.

After that just fuckin' run around man. Juzou is slow as shit and pauses to drink or spit on his sword a lot, giving you ample time to fuck the mooks up.

>An anime shitposter doesn't even know what a Shinobi is
God damn dude, you're a disgrace even to weebs.

they LITERALLY say he's a shinobi, which means "ninja". are you slow?
but yeah it's more fun to play like a samurai anyways

I just ran in with my bushido bro and everything worked out great

>seppuku partner

Wait, what? You can use that one guy to help you in fights? What the fuck?

*throws ash in ur face and stabs u

any reason why there are two words for ninja?

yes, because you can fight alongside some dude there and it's fun as fuck

Ninja is English shinobi is Japanese

Nothing about the jap's "language" makes sense.

because saying "ninja", depending on your accent, can kinda sound like "nigga".
So you basically want to use "shinobi" instead of "ninja" when in a black neighbourhood.

wrong
shinobi is a more historical word, while ninja is a modern term due to pop culture
that's what google told me anyways, but it's the exact same

How? what? When? Where? I completely missed him and took him out by myself. Can I use him to help me in any other boss fights?

he's hiding in the bushes by the pond and will engage the enemy after you speak to him. he'll most certainly die during the fight but you can easily kill all dudes except the drunkard before that happens

ninja is based on the Chinese interpretation of the kanji, shinobi is the Japanese. Ninja was not a common term used in Japan, but became popular with westerners for some reason

I missed him as well the first couple of times.
He's right next to the tall grass in the water.
Don't think you get any other companions during any other fights.

He's wearing blue robes, standing just by the water and the large rock in front of the arena. He was apparently a Hirata retainer. He helps out quite a bit as a meat shield. I liked killing off the adds, resetting Juzou, the talking to him to start the fight. I was actually able to keep him alive but didn't get anything for it.

Wait, there were black neighborhoods in feudal Japan?

>Can I use him to help me in any other boss fights?
no, it's not like dark souls, only this fight

Blind faggots.

If he dies in the fight can you call him again?
We both died first time and the second I didn't find him but I could have looked in the wrong place.

Where do you think the term ghetto comes from? I tell ya, what are they teaching you kids?

Well the fight itself wasn't too hard, he was actually one of the easier boss fights ironically enough.

Right now I'm stuck on a couple bosses. Lady Butterfly, first Isshin encounter, and that Snake Eye cunt.

sengoku japan was black, stop reading racist history books

you probably already know this but the key is to be agressive as fuck, don't give them a second to breathe and focus on their posture instead of HP
good luck buddy

You did save your seppuku partner right?

This.
Sekiro whitewashes all of it.
Isshin's original name was "isshaniqua" and she was a proud black woman.

Or I guess yellowwashes in this case.

>didn't save him
wew lad

I cheesed this guy and wish i could go back and enjoy his fight

there are two more of him

When you come up from the pond head left into the small building and kill those two guys. Follow the path to the end to backstab that shield guy. Go back from where you came and around the corner. From some reason that little nook on the far side immediately causes everyone to give up the chase. Then backstab another and repeat.

Looking at the Japanese wikipedia, apparently during the sengoku era itself there were various local names for ninja (Suppa, Ukagami, Dakkou, etc), with "shinobi" being the most widespread one (it even made it to a 1600s Japanese dictionary made by the Jesuits) alongside "ninjutsu tsukai" (concealing/enduring arts user). Afterwards, during the Edo period, writing about them and fiction standardized the names down to "Shinobi" and "Ninja", which was derived from "Ninjutsu tsukai".

Okay that was pretty simple, thanks.

Are any subweapons useful for fighting the headless in the cave in Ashina Outskirts? His *teleports behind u* keeps fucking me

Just sprint when he dissapears.
