Sekiro help thread

The only one I've found in the game so far.
My only available fights are either him or Lady Butterfly at this point.

oil --> fistful of ash/firecracker --> charged flame vent. Really good combo for vitality damage

so who the hell is this guy?

no one knows where the fuck you are in the game, describe him

I heard you can fight him jsut before the final boss

Fuck off with your dumb headcanon, people ripped it apart in the last thread. Infested do not have dragons blood, Divine Child drops dragon tears.

Get the bell to go to the past zone and you can get the prosthetic there. You're also able to get 2 prayer beads there that can help you get some extra life for the Ogre

Where do i fucking farm

Stop posting this faggot shit, this is a help thread, not a homo headcanon thread

If I had to guess, when the Dragon drifted over from China it has these retainers just follow it and that's what they do, they just serve the dragon.

> i have no concrete proof
So you basicly admitted that you're full of shit
Okay.
>i can prove is that she isn't as innocent as she seems she is
You didnt prove shit cause your headcanon is based on that the Divine Child is a centipede and that already got blown the fuck out. Goodbye.

The first chained guy with red eyes you find, in the Ashino stairway area. Right after the merchant who was is also in the flashback.

I think these threads have attracted extremely autistic mongos that usually infest generals. It might be time to stop.

I just beat Emma and Isshin finishing my first playthrough. Is the game a lot different in New Game+? The only other From Soft game where I did NG+ was Dark Souls 2 and it added a bunch of new enemies and some new items. Is Sekiro similar or is NG+ more or less the same as NG?

the dragon came from korea, he uses the seven-branched sword which was gifted to japs by koreans

What the hell are iai counters?

I've gotten behind him before, like I said, but there is no deathblow option while he's chained. Do I need to trigger him releasing himself, then run away, eat stealth sugar, and get behind him again?

keep playing

I love how mad you guys get. I'm going to be here for a while get used to it.

Keep playing the game

All shield upgrades, they hard counter some bosses.

you know the big open cave area between poison pool and the hidden forest? Spawn poison pool and start walking towards that, look up and to the left

Play the game.

>I've gotten behind him before, like I said, but there is no deathblow option while he's chained. Do I need to trigger him releasing himself, then run away, eat stealth sugar, and get behind him again?
there is a deathblow option behind him. I've done it myself twice. No you don't need to trigger him releasing himself. Literally stealth behind him while he's enchained and stab that nigga in the butt when the recticle turns red.

Does giving the cute temple girl the special permisson you get from kotaro do anything.

Approach him from the Dojo side not from Isshin's room. You should have or could easily obtain some oil. Throw Oil, wait, Deflect his Ashina Cross, if he ever sweeps Jump charged R2 with the big fire, he's on fire now. Go back to deflecting

If you instead mean the Ogre, same advice applies, literally just set him on fire

>nobody has advice to give because they’re too busy arguing with faggot nigger lorefags to play the game
Let’s hope you’re right, I want to do other stuff before I bother letting him fuck my ass more

whta the fuck is this screenshot

Ill love posting this retarded headcanon once DLC disproves it

anything firecrackers, only useful prosthetic in the game.

Beating Diving Dragon only locks out the Return ending if you haven't gotten the Frozen tear yet, since Kuro will be missing you can't ever give him the riceloli rice to progress her side of the quest

When I did it he didn't turn red at all, even when I was right up against him. I just got the chance to wail on him for a bit before he broke free.
Well, guess I'll just try the same thing again and see if it works this time, thanks.

I know about the fire barrel, been using that and Oil on every attempt, but thanks anyway user.

Motherfucker. I know I'm far enough for it not to matter but I really wanted to do the entire first playthrough with no googling or guides for some reason. I forgot while typing this, but I also missed white pinwheel and had to google that. Anyone else feel bad when they google stuff but not bad at all when they ask for tips in the thread?

Why are you trying to make bait about game you didn't play?

Advice for rape ape?
Should I just take phase 2 super slow and only attack after his big lunging single slash?

Yes. There is a ledge on the left side of the arena. Get ready to run once you get up there and past the wall hug because the rest of the sniper will shoot you. Go and kill them then go back to snake eyes and sneak up on her.

I cheesed him with a ledge. He gets stuck on it and you can just jump and slash.

I just played the game and did not care about what ending. Looked up bosses after I beat it and saw I missed owl so I just replayed the game, its more fun the 2nd time.

question
what exactly is unseen aid
and also eating a sweep because i dodged instead of jump feels terrible

The seven branched sword was made in China, dumb ass.

You can stun him with ash and firecrackers.

the fat retard in senpou temple works

The snipers won't hit you on that platform so just learn the patterns. If you see her kick she's going to shoot after and if you dodge the grab you can punish easily. Outside of that just parry her swings because they are slow as shit

Basically, as long as you don't cheese, the fight will actually force you to learn all of the mechanics of the game and you will have a lot better of a time on all the other bosses

Find the big lad in the Buddhist temple.

Keep in mind he has all sorts of questline outcomes so think carefully.

Are you fucking dumb? She was among the children who didn't survive the water boarding. She didn't steal their life force.

>Same image from other thread

Anyone had random BSOD playing this game, or is my PC going to the shitter?

>20+ Tries on lady butterfly and genichiro
>single run on ape and owl
Ummmm yikes... game suppose to be easier on the long run?

If you mean the baby face I already made him appear in the hall of illusions. I guess the other quest is over now then?

Thief? You mean the surgeon? You got two choices:
The moat defender (the really dark skin guy that hangs around the well where you first started the game). He'll eventually move further into the well and inside the Abandoned Dungeon next to the idol past the blue ghost nigger. There you'll have a chance to redirect him to the surgeon

The next would be the big fatass at the beginning of Senpou Temple crying about a pinwheel. Give him a red and white one and you'll be able to redirect him anywhere from shopkeepers to the surgeon.

That is actually my image. Why wouldn't i post it?

So you're just retarded?
She gets weak from making rice. It has nothing to do with killing the monks. An is only related to how many times you visit.
Persimon description implies she's making the rice from her own blood.

The game should have more ninjutsu. They are all fun to use, but having only three sucks.

that probably means you were detected then
make sure you use the stealth sugar before attempting to sneak up on him

How does the hidden tooth actually work?

I had the game crash earlier today and when it did my GPU or CPU fan span up for a second. Thought it shut off my PC at first

I never said she killed the monks. I think she may have been killing the children.

Nah, but it locked up on me last night.

Yeah, I've used ash in my previous attempts. Starting to run out though.

Alright, will do.

You bite it you die, its that simple.

Where’s cheat engine??? Finna play like gta

>durr i got better at a game the more i played

He's mostly the same except for the firecrackers and shuriken mixups. With the firecrackers, either dodge back and use a shuriken+follow up attack, dodge towards him and attack if you're close enough, or make sure you're all the way behind him. Everything else is just memorizing his attacks and deflecting everything.
For his last phase, just run when he disappears unless you're very confident you can deflect his attack when he shows back up, and same for his big fire attack. He almost always follows up that fire attack with a very long reaching thrust attack so beready to mikiri counter that or run and get behind him

Thief is the merchant npc before the chained ogre. He is the guy stealing shit in the memory area. If you kill him in the memory he disappears in the current timeline

He's already dead too

??? It works exactly like you think it would

Just got done with Isshin lads! Took me 1 hour, thought it would be more difficult but he was very generous with giving me mikiri counters.

would be cool if some cool samurai you fought would literally onigiri himself while saying something like "im a disgrace to my mentor/clan, youre a better warrior" if you deflected him multiple times in a row into stance break.
missed opportunity desu.

I heard shura ending unlock a special judgement cut skill.
What does other ending give you?

The game has terrible bugs that lock you out of quest completions, it's mindboggling.

>I think she may have been killing the children.
You're a fucking idiot. The people at the temple who are older than her even say she s the only survivor of the rejuvenating waters. she isn't killing anybody you blind fucker.

the vertical shockwave thing

As I’ve said before, people are preemptively calling the game hard, it’s actually pretty easy. I only ever played dark souls 1 way back when, so i never had to unlearn anything. If you just take the info the game provides and go along with it without applying knowledge from other from games I feel it’s very straightforward and not meant to be super difficult.

Who cares. Non of the quests actually give you anything good

THATS how you get the judgement cut?! Aw man. Guess I’m doin shura for my second playthrough. You can still NG++ after it right?

Run around him.

His ass.

Yeah you're actually supposed to avoid attacks instead of phasing through them

There are so many combat arts (even though you can only pick one...) but most of them suck right?
Which are useful?

Got no eavesdrop on kuro and the kid in the inner sanctum only progressed after killing the divine dragon, after which she gave me rice I can't use anymore.

So I got all the ingredients, did the whole quest lines but I can't finish them. They basically spoiled their own secret endings to me.

The exact same thing happens to her even if she never gets any rice.

Only bosses left are

>Seven Spears & Friend

And the little bitch still wont let me feed her serpent fruit

Good to know demon/seven spears 2 is optional at least, but this shit ain't fun

uh i enter a very spooky dark cave and came out near a bell. is it a dead end or something?
i'm scared to go back into that fucking cave with the spooky headless guy

Yeah, no shit, but there are barely any opportunities to get a hit in and he has three fucking dots. How long is this fight supposed to take?

Yes and she also warns you not to go to the temple when you first show up. Do you realize how powerful this kid is? She literally created the illusory halls for the souls kids that died(if that is actually what is happening with her and kotaro). Why would you take this kid at her word with all of that power?

In not sayin that, as it seems most people reach a point where it ‘clicks’ for them and then they say they one shot various bosses afterward. That just happened pretty early for me, I assume because I was never big into the souls games.
I’m confident everyone in this thread can one shot Oniwa and Bull like I did provided the click happens beforehand.

Don't use any of the combat arts that require spirit emblems, they aren't that good and the free combat arts are far superior. The spirit emblem ones just look flashier.

Armchair designers like you always have the worst fucking ideas. None of those changes would make this a better game.

She warns Wolf not to go to the temple because she thinks he might get captured and experimented on if he goes there, dumb ass. She doesn't say "don't come here because I will murder you". Why is your headcanon so fucking retarded?

Use invisibility sugar, sneak around the left side and kill the friend for free.

You're either eating massive attacks that do a lot of damage and will do high posture damage if parried or you aren't parrying properly.

Better game then what we got. You just have a small brain.

You are taking a character at face value. In fucking Fromsoftware game. I'm the retarded one though right?

Isshin

I told my buddy some days ago that the game has one of the biggest ETF moments in a from game.

He's Ape P1 right now, writing me about how hard it is. I'm giddy with anticipation about his reaction when it happens, any minute now.

>HP on deathblow by default
>skill to recharge spirit emblems
>remove posture health link
You're just a casual who wants to make the game easier.

I played Dark Souls 1 and really enjoyed it (but never finished it) should I play Dark Souls 1 remastered edition again to finish it, and then Dark Souls 2 & 3 in order before Sekiro?

I don't know why I've skipped the games, I really liked Dark Souls 1 and I love other games like Monster Hunter

Then you did not deflect. There are attacks that knock you back even if you deflect but they won't break your posture.

I highly doubt she coudl do anything if Sekiro just said "fuck it" and stabbed her with Mortal Blade
Also she didin't create the illusory temple

omg what the fuck how do i get rid of this demon bell buff.

>every single character in a fromsoft game is eveil and has hidden motives!!!
I bet you're one of the retards who thought Wolf and Sculptor were the same person.

ring it again

>everyone say sword saint is hardest boss
>beat it under 10 deaths

Sekiro isn't a Souls game.

Most attacks still build up posture damage when deflected, especially if they are heavy attacks or attacks the game expects you to dodge rather than deflect (such as thrust attacks). There's a reason why Mikiri is a dodge move rather than a deflection move.

did any boss take more?

>that moment when you can finally fuck over those spirit bomb throwing ennemies
God bless the confettis

Deflecting doesn't prevent posture build-up. But deflecting will never break posture. So you might be deflecting wrong.
How far in the game?

2-4 spirit emblems for boss deathblows would be nice though, even if all his other ideas are just awful

Why do you think she wants Sekiro to take the rice? Look at what happens to the old lady afterwards when you give it to her. I get it, she was crazy, but she goes off the rails after she eats the rice.

use it from your inventory

how do i progress from the bell?
do i have to kill lady butterfly now or some shit?

Jesus christ shut the fuck up, you remind me of that dark souls lorefag who thought every single thing in the games happened because it was orchestrated by Velka

You just don't understand variety. Non of that would make the game easy you retard. It would allow for more complex gameplay then "lel block and attack with sword for every boss." Game basically has no replay cause the 2 strats are fight the boss and do everything or cheese the boss. There is literally no other strategy in the game. Every video of people fighting bosses is the same

Does the demon bell have any use? i came across it but didn't ring it

Last place i completed is ashina castle, starting depths and senpo now

Sekiro has coherrent and working plot unlike Soulsborne games.

do carp scales respawn in NG+ fuck this fucking mask I don't feel like revisiting every body of water in the game desperately searching for carp.

LMAO the Divine Child even warned Wolf when he first stepped foot onto the moutain. You would think that being evil like you made her out to be she should be actively luring people in.
She didnt create the folding monkeys, the monkeys and the children are the ones protecting her and she, along with Kotaro and the monk there are the only person who can see them.

There's plenty of opportunities, he takes ages after every attack. When you're close, circle and jump to his left (your right) side. When he's at range, don't just run headlong at him because he'll most likely just catch you with fireballs, so bait an attack and then close back in.

The loli in the Inner Sanctum opens the door after you get the Fountainhead aroma, or you actually go there through Mibu. You don't want to advance too much.
You can eavesdrop on Kuro after Owl (Ashina). Someone pointed out exactly which wall I should hug and it worked.

Honestly, It took me a few tries but you have no excuse to not beat him. After a while you'll realize how predicable his patterns are. Also, whenever he does his unblockable, just jump, it negates it completely.

The only way to not fight Owl is going with the shura ending.

Yeah stop making retarded headcanons with no actual proof

So the rice does make the old lady go into a catatonic state like i said? Wow, thanks for backing me up dude. Very cool.

There aren't very many good farming areas at that point. I've heard that mibu village can be a good place to farm with numerous easy to kill enemies. The senpou monks are good to farm though, they give plenty of candies and about 100 sp's each. I'd recommend creating a route yourself and try to assasinate as many of the monks as you can at the starting temple area. Honestly though, monks lose posture fairly quickly so stealth isn't necessary, but if you want to reestablish it you can use bloodsmoke ninjitsu.

I don't remember probably second owl fight and demon of hatred did early on I don't remember as much

Even if you ignore her she is just gonna make you fight her like the ogre miniboos i think she says something along the lines of

Ring it to get SHAMEFUR BURDEN
it makes you take 1.5 times vitality damage, 2 times posture damage, and gives enemies some more health, but also drastically increases drop chance and sen from enemies. Keep it on between bosses for loot, keep it on during bosses for some extra challenge.

COPE

Give precious bait to giant carp for easy scales. That being said though, most bait can only be found underwater though. More bait you give, gives more scales. Fountainhead lake has tons of pick-up scales, carps, and bait anyways.

>open ended
No, this is the first game with an actual plot instead of an unfinished mess made for reddittors like you to masturbate over with their retarded headcanon

I'm not looking for excuses, it just seems like a ridiculously long fight. I was wondering if there's some approach I wasn't aware of.

Unless you're lacking attack power from other bosses, it shouldn't be ridiculously long, maybe 15 minutes?

I guess I’ve heard mixed opinions. I think it makes you take more damage from all sources- arguably this doesn’t matter much against bosses since they always kill you in about two hits if you dont heal between them.

You proved yourself wrong when you even admitted that you're talking out of your ass for shits and giggles.

Whatever manbaby. Just cause you passed high school doesn't mean you have any critical thinking skills which are useful for the real world

What in the erloving fuck did propel the giant carp to swim down to Guardian Apes hole? Did he try to kill himself from the potential pain the Truly Precious Bait caused?

Can you feed the carp like 20-30 times the regular bait before killing it with the poison? Or is there a limit to the amount of bait?

I collected every other carp scale outside of Fountainhead, and have waited to get some from the weird monk in Mibu, so I really hope I can buy all the stock from both merchants.

why do people keep replying to this drooling retard and his headcanon?

AP is 12

Are you serious? I kept it on because some anons were saying it just makes stealth harder by increasing enemies' aggro range. I just killed Guardian Ape/O'Rin/Corrupted Monk with it on. I feel accomplished if you're right.

Can you even get that much bait?

so besides a bead and a snake shooter nothing else is here, is this just a hidden thing or do I get zora armor to dive down the pond

Sorry, buddy. Bait is only found underwater. There's two in the sunken valley, one in the river where snake was. The other is in the pool in the same area as guardian ape. There is another in the Fountainhead waters in one of the sunken houses. I picked up more but I do not remember where from. i vaguely remember either bait or bead in mibu village. None of the early game water has bait in it though.

When exactly did i do that? I'm speculating on where the plot is going for the next part of this game, if that is ever coming out but apparently Yea Forums loves lolis too much to get that through their fucking heads.

Keep seething cuck

If you have access to the Gun Fort or Senpou's Main Hall you can farm XP/money really easily. You can do both before Genichiro. For the Gun Fort just go back from the Idol and assassinate the shotgun enemy with his back towards you, a second shotgun enemy will spot you but you can run away to the Idol, enter stealth, and he will deaggro. Go back and kill him then simply go around the Fort assassinating every enemy, they give pretty good XP. In Senpou's main hall there's two twinblade monks right outside the door, they have their backs to each other and they'll instantly spot you but if you sprint towards the one with his back towards you, you can assassinate him before he moves. This gives good XP and loot (they'll drop good upgrade materials if you have Demon Bell on, though be aware that drops are gated by progression so you'll start getting better and better drops from them as the game progresses). Once you fight Genichiro you can use the Bloodsmoke ninjutsu to kill both in one run instead of resetting after killing that one, making this route twice as good. But yes, you kind of have to go out of your way to find the best farming spots early on.

Fuck this bitch. I lost count of how many times I died to her, but I'm pretty sure she's the miniboss that killed me the most. Her whole move set is just bullshit.

>i'm speculating
Right here, you even said you had no proof for anything. dumb ass.

The gun is a non-factor. since you can easily dodge it and even if you get hit it does like 1/3 with all volleys hitting.

What the fuck is the point of posture if you can't kill any boss by using this mechanic?

>durr I want this game to be easier because I suck and anyone who disagrees is stupid

I think you may be slightly retarded user. Maybe something like KH3 is more your speed.

The only bosses where this is true are the guardian ape and the Demon of Hatred. Every other boss can be killed early with proper posture breaking.

thanks!

you can kill almost every boss with it though
you're playing too passive and letting them regen

The fire umbrella can be pretty useful since you can use it to parry some of his smashes and stun him for a moment. You can also get 3 stuns on him with Malcontent, although with some practice you shouldn't really even need it. It took me a lot of tries but eventually he got so predictable that I beat him the first time I got to the third phase.

No, you literally cannot build posture fast enough on any boss. It is fucking stupid

can you farm lapis lazuli somehow? I've gotten all of them but need 1 more.

You're just bad at the game, then.

If you can't kill a single boss by depleting their posture, you are bad at deflecting.

the carp is deeeeeaaaaaaad and I need like 10 more scales. I'll keep fishing I guess. Fuck I hate this.

The best run I found is: from the idol, backstab the guy with the shotgun, grapple to the elevated position, kill the guy. Drop, grapple twice to the left, jumpkill the guy. Drop on the other enemy a level below. Return to the cave, dropkill the other guy with the shotgun, kill grannie, backstab the shotgun outside the cave looking at a wall. Return to where you killed the guy after grappling twice and there are two more rifle guys to the left. Return to idol. Rinse and repeat.

>Hear about how hard Owl 2 is.
>Finally encounter him in NG++
>Beat him in under five tries
A lot of his attacks can be predictable in phase 2. Lil' owl really only prevents some punishes. I'll give a few tips though. Anytime you get stuck and are too close to one of his powder combos, you can jump left and deflect simultaneously, the damage is small but managable. Anytime he throws a single shuriken, he will usually followup with a strong slash. Two shurikens are followed up with a smash attack. Dodge and attack. After some of his sweep attacks, he will hold his blade up and smash down. He doesn't do it nearly as often in phase 2, instead he will feint into a stronger slash. After owl flame sweep, he will either do nothing if you're too close, or do his signature shadowrush attack if you're too far. Be sure to look out for danger symbol.

Can a PS4 player get several endings on a single playthrough? Is there a way to back up your save file before the final boss or something?

Please respond, I want to finish the game but I’m considering going for platinum.

>Lady butterfly is just Hino-enma.

The only way to make this comparison is not to play one or both of the games. Hino-enma is defeated by baiting and punishing, like most bloody yokai in Nioh. LB is defeated by controlling her moves through constant aggression.

no

how should i fight against multiple enemies? in the early game it's not too hard since i can rush them down but stronger enemies take too long and i get overwhelmed. Even the combat arts do not help that much

you can stop samefagging now i think

You are fucking retarded

They give you a bait to feed it to the big carp, which kills it and depending on who's bait you use they become a carp

I wanted to ask about that, is there any difference between the two? I mean, I killed the carp with the bait from the pot Noble in Hirata, but what happens if you give the bait from the other noble? Beside killing the carp and the noble ecoming a carp obviously.

One doesn’t drop from demon. And yes, 20 bit is max. I recommend looking up a list of them.

Stay mad, shitter.

I've heard they drop from the feebling wizards guys. Other than that, the second pot noble sells two for 6 scales each. When you help out either noble, they leave behind a lazulite. One more can be gotten off the ghost warrior at the base of the waterfall in fountainhead. Another one or two can be gotten off the demon of hatred.

Yes, finish the game and start a NG+

Ah fuck. Not sure i can be bothered going through an entire list to see which one i missed.

did you get the hidden one from castle Ashina? Or the one from the spear general rematch?

Achievements are just casual shit for kiddos to collect. Real shit would have been "take no damage on final boss," or "beat game without dying." But people would just mad that they cannot get their achievements and cry about it

Why did you cut the webm user? Don't tell me he was able to regen all that posture damage, didn't he?

I wanted to feed it the other baits to see what I'd get, but I fed it the truly precious bait first thinking it'd be sweet loot but it just killed it

Even though I used to shit on Ichimonji, I found out it's quite useful to speed up that fight, esp. phase 1. You can jump out of the Perilous swipe and Ichimonji midair to where he ends his slash and it's a lot more fluid than starting Ichimonji from neutral. It flinches his big overhead, but sometimes he immediately chains up another combo into swipe or big combo.

Wait for dlc

I think he is. Also i am

Most important things from merchants are lazulite, masks, (These alone can cost you 24ish scales),and the flame gourds and combat arts are optional. The former because you get so many dousing powders, it's pretty much negligible the latter depends on who you ask. I've used it a few times, but I prefer the Icchimonji.

I think nothing changes and the inventory from the dead noble transfers into the carp, maybe some different dialog but that's it

It just the problem with achievements in general, most of them you just get by playing the game and doing shit that you are supposed to do.

you can grapple to him every time he runs away

I'd rather drink sake with Isshin

Only thing that is wonky to work out is grab attacks imo, but you could just make hits of whatever attacks said grab follows up with raise posture and wounding.

You mean the bridge with the snake?

One is from demon, the other one might be one of the pick-up able ones. I was missing one bead at the gun fort shrine that can be found from the hole near the statue to the hidden paths. One is above the statue on poison pool.

Deflect stomps, dodge armsweeps and headbutt, run away when he leaps into the air the use grapple to get back to him.
Or just run around him with sanic speed and slowly poke him down

She is one of the easiest fights tho.
You can easily pressure her with R1, deflects and dodge attacks.
Just put her in a corner.

It just gives you scales for normal bait, the attendant gives them to you.

The original argument was that it's impossible to build posture on bosses, now your argument is that they recover too fast (which is mitigated by just pressuring them with attacks)
What will be your next argument?

You mean Floating Passage?
It's great in theory but Sekiro weighs like 90 pounds so the great "fluid combo" is useless because he doesn't ever interrupt shit.

Yes, I was panicing because the vietcongs were shooting from all directions. Luckily I noticed grapple point before dying.

To kill the armored warrior you have to use the deathblow to make him stagger and fall off the bridge correct?

That the posture build-up he showed did not kill the boss so it doesn't mean shit, i can do that shit all day and there will always be a moment where the boss will just regenerate it back unless i deplete his health

yes, just position him with back towards edge

Yes. Probably my favorite fight in the game.

It's shit

If it helps boosts your morale, I appreciate the comedic value of your screenshot. The easiest way to fight Genchiro is to close distance and hit him between combos, it still lowers his posture and can interrupt his bow attacks. The best thing to do for most bosses is to continue guarding to lower your posture bar as well as block against something you didn't see coming.

Wtf am I even supposed to be seeing here you autistic retard.

It's his easiest phase, real problem is getting there so you can learn how to do it. Keep at it user

Obviously that wouldn't count

Going by some meme streamers that do "no hit" runs, they don't seem to count fall damage.

Fucking hell, you do like making things harder for yourself, don't you?

My theory is that rice loli doesn't have the best intentions and may have actually been controlling the monks. No proof to back this up other then her crazy powers that are not explained. Considering Kuro can't speak to people telepathically like rice loli did at the beginning of the temple or talk to dead children and he has legit dragon blood i would say backs up my argument and it at least holds some merit.

The whistle's owner was a guy.

where the fuck

Still probably didn't bring him much peace of mind having that being flashed in his face, considering he still turned into the Demon of Hatred.

>FORCES you to take a hit when going through the depths
What are you even talking about.

I'm playing on the pro, it's really not that bad. I usually notice it when there is a lot of fire, which is only at a few stages in the game.

yes, it does.
when you drop down the bottomless hole and grapple to the ledge, you have to drop down another small hole in a cave you enter. when you go down that hole its just far neough to force you to take damage and there is no other way down there at that point in the game.

His transformation was inevitable, he just delayed it

Attached: file.png (682x821, 103K)

you take fall damage when you drop down before the poison pool, same as nito's place

You dont have to drop down the bottomless hole to get to the depths, you can enter through the place in the sunken valley where you find the dried serpent viscera. Also fall damage isnt counted in a no hit run, its not a hit.

The flying kick sword attack thing has iframes on the launch and the punch combo is a really fast combo extender, the third hit just leaves an opening. They both do great posture damage. I hated the flying kick at first but after getting used to it I found it to be good against basically every non-boss in the game.

How much does the dragon mask increase your attack power? Can you grind enough to make the final bosses super easy?

Then its a good thing fall damage have never counted in no hit runs.

The fuck am I doing it wrong? Should I explore other areas first and increase my vitality and attack power?

Combat arts exist for style only.

The Centipedes were sent by the Date clan to destroy Ashina, they're under Shiggy(Boss Centipede)'s command.

How about fucking attacking him you pussy.

Thanks to the user that brought up ceramic shards, forgot all about them since the beginning of the game

triangle

>It does nothing by hurt my fingers
That's weird. Did you change to square? I don't see much of a difference.
DMC did in fact conditioned me to use triangle to attack, and it feels more satisfying for whatever reason.

Why? It is objectively better for controling the camera, plus parrying with my right finger feels more intuitive.

>Malcontent's ring - an old ring well-suited for slender fingers.
>"Kingfisher" is etched onto the ring.
>Slender finger - The slender finger of a young woman.
>Malcontent's ring is used to upgrade the slender finger into Malcontent.
>Malcontent - "Kingfisher" is etched onto the ring. The Kingfisher's cry could be heard along the waterfront of Sunken Valley. Now, she cries no more.

keep attacking
the fight shouldnt take more than a few minutes

DLC is coming bros

The problem with the final boss isnt damage.

>DLC or Sequel without Miyazaki at the helm
no please
game doesnt even need a sequel.

I fucking am. The lightning attacks always get me. I was supposed to counter his lightning attack in mid-air, but I couldn't tell when to move.

Your theory gets destroyed be evidence in game.

>play passively against Genichiro
Found your problem.

1 per 5 skill points. No idea if there's a limit to it other than the fact that each skill point requires more exp than the previous.

Where the did you hear this? That is news to me. What is a date clan? Who the fuck is shiggy?

I doubt he wouldn't be part of it

you get one attack power for five skill points
sure you can grind, but it's going to take a long time

Nice. Suck it, Division 2!
Also this for fuck's sake you'd think even the shithole countries would have got it years ago.

The fights takes 2-3 min if you are attacking not 15.

problem is that you have to do senpou temple first to do that

Again, more of this bullshit. You just dont give up even when people call you out do you.
>her crazy powers that are not explained
She got experimented on by the monks
>Considering Kuro can't speak to people telepathically like rice loli did
He literally spoke to you telepathically on your very first death
You dont even know the game well enough to shitpost about it. Also despite calling other people lolicons you're the one who keeps calling her a loli.

Other than his very obvious lightning attacks and maybe two new sword combos, he doesn't change that much.

been selling mine, do they work in the same way as pocket sand?

I'm trying to get back to the beginning area to get the spear prosthetic tool, but I have triggered the last phase of the game and the gate next to the Ashina Resevoir idol on fire. How do I get past it to get the spear now? I know its possible because the key to get to the spear moved locations to make it accessible after this phase

No-hit runs have always excluded those sorts of things. Like when they no-hit Dark Souls 1 they don't count the fall into Pinwheel's arena.

>sword does not even touch her

Which evidence specifically?

>doesnt know fucking Date Masamune

and? If anything it is intended to be done before the other areas.

How is that a problem

You can always explore before fighting Genchiro, you can head to the sunken valley from the great serpent shrine behind ashina castle (2 minibosses). You can also head into the dungeon and head to the temple (2 minibosses) or even try heading to Ashina depths instead of the temple from the dungeon. The last option requires you beat a ghost warrior which is going to be difficult without 2 to 3 confetti. If you do decide to do that last option, there are 4 minibosses and one boss in the depths.

Hackers.

if you suck too bad to counter his lightning you can always just run underneath him to go behind him and totally avoid the attack period

The Date clan is who crushed Ashina irl and shiggy is a centipede infested Nioh boss. I just made it up.

Attached: date-shigezane.jpg (1920x1080, 254K)

The spear prosthetic goes to the shrine next to the undying samurai dude, every item that you could've possibly missed goes there.

No hit runs if you wasnt allowed to use hypermode would be terribly boring as well.

Man I really need to be more aggresive with this boss. He gets the first 3 phases down so quick. Posture really is the way to go.

So calling her her meme name is somehow making me a lolicon? What the fuck?
>He literally spoke to you telepathically on your very first death
The first good explanation i've heard from you fags

Yeah except the fact that Sculptor literally told you the person he trained with was a dude when you give him unrefined sake. Im not gonna start up another playthrough just to argue with retards like you.

Literally the only use I've ever had for them and I didn't even use them during the fight

Best way to defeat him is to keep hitting him and parrying and deflecting, and when he does swipe attack counter by jumping and Mikiri counter for thrust attack to do more posture damage.

I am having some very bad fps drops on pc. Other than just reducing graphic settings is there a way to fix this?

what do you use to record stuff?

The centipede guy wasn't Masamune though, and there are like 3 or 4 shiggies in Nioh.

Everything except for the Purification end loot no?

it's FAR more efficient time wise to get to senpou via the shinobi shortcut to the demon bell
inb4 theres no way back from demon bell area
there is its just a pain in the dick to do because you have to blind jump

It's bugged.

Why would she give me an item I can't do anything with? I talked to everyone a million times but nothing happened, it's quite severe really.

And even if it's not a bug it's brainlet game design, why cut off quests at the end and spoil your whole different endings. Then do that at the start so there's actual replay value.

what combat arts i have currently the best?
whirlwind slash, nightjar slash, and floating passage.
does anyone actually use combat arts regularly?

I'm not sure actually

do you happen to have two monitors?

That's PS4 footage so I just used the share button, for PC you'd want to use OBS

lobos is getting destroyed on his level 1 run haha

She just comments about how good it is.

>muh centipede loli controlling the monks
Except that the infestation is confirmed to predate her immortality and the Head Priest even talks about how he forced her, and a bunch of other kids, to attempt immortality with the rejuvinating watares
>muh centipede queen
She doesn't have a centipede because she has false dragon's blood which actually made her immortal. Centipedes and dragon's blood have no connection
>s-she's actually evil and is controlling everybody!
She despises the Senpou temple monks and wants nothing to do with them anymore. She was even locked away int he inner Sanctum by them
>then why didn't she just leave? Because she was locked in, and she's a frail little girl who coughs when she's too hungry.
>no she's actually evil she warned wolf when he was going to senpou temple!
She warned him not to go in, dumb ass. By your logic she should have tried coercing him in to save her if she was actually evil and had hidden motives like you think she does
>b-but
Dragon Tears.

Fuck off already

Nightjar slash is great, it helped me a lot with the Hatred Demon

I only use whirlwind to take out low health mobs.
Some of the high combo kung-fu shit was decent for posture break earlier but it's become useless now.

whirlwind slash theoretically does the most hp damage (most of its on the second hit) but itll almost never land.

in practice i find shadowrush to be the most useful because it launches you in the air for really strong airborn tool combos.

I meant how he's asking who the Date Clan is. I'm under the illusion that people who get dragged into games with these settings know some famous names from japanese myth and history.

its pretty terrible. bloodborne could get away with it because of its speed compared to this.
i feel like theres delay on top of frames makes having to deflect shit feel more as a preemptive than a reaction

If you killed the divine dragon, then no it isn't bugged. You just fucked up.

Shadowrush was so fucking good against saint Isshin

I mostly double ichimonji or whatever the fuck it's called to regain posture and cause decent posture damage to some bosses.

>floating passage
What good is this for?

Whirlwind slash can land reliably if you do it mid air after a jump kick

if its not oda nobunaga hattori hanzo or tokugawa ieyasu, dont assume the west will know who they are

>Three pieces of evidence all stemming directly from the character in question.
>One piece of evidence from someone who knew Kingfisher that would have a motivation to obscure identifying characteristics of someone who got ape ate.
Japanese also has gender neutral pronouns that are often used as a narrative trick to make a character's gender obscure or a surprise. Could be that, and the English used "he" which is sometimes used as a default pronoun. Or it could be that the single male pronoun used by a possibly unreliable narrator that conflicts with several items all calling Kingfisher a she is the correct answer.

An interesting theory however there's not much to support this and there's a lot to counter it. The monks gained immortality by rejuvinating sediment which is different than rejuvinating waters which is what they used to experiment on the kids. The fact that she's also pregnant in the cutscene reinforces this since she wanted to become a cradle for the Divine Heir.
I can concede that she has more motives than just severing the immortality as it doesn't serve her much to do it for free, but I don't see how it has to do with centipedes

i have no fucking clue i was using it for awhile since it was the first one i got. even on weak enemies the posture damage felt underwhelming say compared to whirlwind slash

You know what? You're probably right. My bad.

Attached: IT_ALL_MAKES_SENSE_NOW.jpg (474x355, 28K)

Looking cool. Even if you hit the first attacks they get blocked and then counterattacked mid-animation by anyone with super armor. Using Floating Passage on Okami Warriors is suicide.

So defending her is somehow making me a lolicon?
>first good explanation i've heard from you fags
This isnt the first time people have blown you the fuck out, your arguement holds no water and at the end of the day its purely headcannon with 0 convincing evidence. Stop posting and samefagging.

How does nightjar help against demon?

i keep fucking jumping and then thinkin i can block mid air AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

kino movie

Gotta upgrade that skill user. Its worth it.

If you know about Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu you also know about Takeda Shingen, Date Masamune, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide.

It's not necessary, but any gap closer will help, most of his moves push you back once you deflect, so using it allowed me to get a lot of hits in.

you can?

Air block is one of the first skill you can get so don’t worry

I learned about all these guys playing Sengoku Rance. Feels good.

i die too much and i'm just on the horse boss. i could really use that shit here.

oh my fuck i just realized i could have gotten it so long ago FUCKIN AAAAAAAAAAH

So at what stage is everyone now? I've finished the game today mostly blind, now I'm watching uhtrance testing sppedrun strats, and I'm learning a few new things too. Apparently the confetti does more damage to every enemy not just apparitions like the description seemed to imply.
I'm planning to do another fresh run and just ignore NG+ altogether. I find the game to be quite empty once you have everything from the start. Routing is half the fun.

how can i get to the ashina reservoir when the castle is burning?

Why the fuck are you jumping in the first place. Time to unbind it till you stop.

things the game doesn't tell you:
A. ANY loud noise will dispel illusions, not just snap seeds. like firecrackers.
B. the spear has a super special interaction with infested enemies that don't have heads (not the headless though). try it while airbourne on the headless ape or when the headless ape falls down
C. sen throw lies to you. it only uses 20 sen and does fuck all damage.
D. umbrella has an attack that gains strength the more it blocks
E. sacred flame tool combined with living force gives you divine confetti effect without using one
F. contact medicine actually does the same poison damage as other sources of poison, making it pointless
G. if you dont move after activating mist raven tool, you appear up in the air and drop down

add your own

I think some areas are just locked for good after a certain point.

Follow the smoke signals on the roof, when they end drop down and go through the building

thats not true.
i know who nobugana and ieyasu are (mostly from nioh) and while i know date masamune was in nioh, i have no clue who he is or what he really did. nor do i know of the others, but mitsuhide and hideyoshi sounds familiar.

wasnt hideyoshi the architect guy who built a fort in 3 days or something?

>every enemy
Thought it was just against undeads. Like the ape.

Same way you did the first time you went back there.

Never samefagged.
but read

Or the translation could just be faulty.

Do i have to kill the demon before Isshin?

no you can fight it post game

no, hes optional
hes also really hard.

It's never worth it to try a thrust attack on him. His mikiri counter is an instant kill.

Shadowrush is amazing. I don't know what's up with that skill but I find that enemies rarely guard/deflect it, while others get blocked or deflected instantly. I didn't think to use it with airborne tools, I should give it a shot. What is the best one to use while airborne, the spear?

its a thrust attack so it can't be normally guarded and NPCs aren't programmed to deflect it.

and for 'best' to use while airborne, depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
hp damage? whirlwind slash since the 2nd hit lands easy when airborne
posture? axe on the way down
are you above the headless ape? spear his ass then pull while midair and watch what happens.
or you can just fire for super style points

Just one. Would a second help?

>ANY loud noise will dispel illusions, not just snap seeds. like firecrackers.
That's really cool to know.

I followed the smoke until I get to an impossible jump where I always fall down before reching the next smoke point.

I used to just be able to use that one grapplingpoint spot from the ashina castle entrance but it is burning now.

Also what about that demon of hatred fight? Is that the last boss or is there a seperate boss once I get to the reservoir? I am kinda confused. I am going for the purification ending and got the branch from the second owl fight.

High Monk/ Flying Kick completely decimate their posture if you use it when they use a sweeping attack. It doesnt say in the tooltip but you can test it out agaisnt purple dudes in Ashina castle.

Go inside the building and drop down. How do people not know the NORMAL entrance to the reservoir by the endgame?

>I followed the smoke until I get to an impossible jump where I always fall down before reching the next smoke point.
Thats where you have to drop down and go into the building

sekiro tends to encourage you to stay on the rooftops for height advantage and you can miss the gatehouse easily in tha tcase.
