I love how this game is ultimate casual filter, Everyone got exposed hard for overlevelling stats...

You can deflect every attack that doesn't give you a perilous warning.

How hard is it, really, to recognize patterns after a while? The game is as hard as doing a low soul level run. Acting like this game is a gauge for a overall skill is retarded and a reason why the Souls community is garbage.

Parrying was the worst gameplay element of the Souls games. Sekiro is boring.

if any fight in this game takes you more than 5 minutes you are doing something wrong, with the exception of the demon of hatred if you don't use the whistle

I loved how easy yet enjoyable Genichiro was lads

Same man, so nice to still have punishing but fun and rewarding games

Imagine being so low on confidence that you have to ego crutch off being good at Japanese indie games on an anonymous taiwanese basket weaving forum to feel good about yourself

Deflecting sounds horrifying.

>Mfw I struggled with his last phase for ages then in one run he decides to just throw lightning three times in a row allowing me to reflect all that damage back at him.

Stats make no difference in souls games
But you're right about the rest
Yea Forums is full of casuals stuck in this hivemind of HAHA GIT GUD I LOVE SOULS but then you realize they're all shitters who couldn't find their way out of a paperbag without soapstones everywhere and phantoms aggroing bosses

Is she supposed to do that ? Aren't you supposed to eavesrop her and Kuro, then her and the Sculptor ?

Why would you do that?

What? I cheesed every encounter in this game. It's probably From's most cheeseable game yet.

I feel like Genichiro is the boss that makes you learn how to play. After that all the human bosses except Isshin seemed pretty easy to me.

But most people on Yea Forums are engaging in the Sekiro Help threads and aren’t giving up. False narratives are fun and all but the people here are actually pretty determined and do manage to git gud eventually.

>you can't use in-game mechanics because I say so
>no, you're not ACTUALLY enjoying it!
What the fuck is wrong with (you)?

i'm not even sure anymore. everywhere said to do it right after the first owl fight but now i'm reading stuff that says it has to be right before owl. i hate this, i just wanted to see all the bosses in ng+. i wish from left this kind of stuff in dark souls.

>Can finally beat ape phase one without taking a single bit of damage
>Cant even get 4 hits on the headless ape

I had to put the game down for a little because Im not having fun anymore

Feel the same. For some reason this game doesn't feel worth it to best.

This is what fucked me up, it's just not intuitive that with your flimsy katana you can block even God's anal fistisng as long as it doesn't show icon (and even then you actually can if it's thrust so go figure). Attacks from giant enemies it's something i was conditioned to dodge, maybe block with shield, not parry.

Headless Ape is less complicated than what you're making it out to be.

Use the spear on its stump

Guardian plays like a souls boss (emphasis on dodging)
Headless plays like a sekiro boss (emphasis on parrying)

Who was talking about Yea Forums though?

I drop the game after beating the centipede boss. I hated the mechanics, it became really boring, really fast.

>pve
>ideal strategy versus every enemy is to walk up close to them, wait, and depending on which obvious tell for which attack either dodge and counter with three hits, or press parry button.
>game quite simply funnels down to a spreadsheet
>not even 0.02 years after release, entire 'boss' encounters have been solved to specific combos to 100-0 them
>'hard'

This is why Genichiro is the best boss in the game. He forces you to play well but it never becomes frustrating and in the end, you just find it really enjoyable to duel him.

And this is also why boss fights like Guardian Ape and Hatred Demon are terrible.

>They're having trouble with the boss that you literally just have to run away from. Epic.

Ideally, you'd dodge or deflect his little leg stompys but I doubt they can do that or even understand his Swing, Swing, Legstomp attack. Too low IQ.

Any high level Nioh players here having any trouble?

Does Yea Forums like or dislike Sekiro? I can barely even tell.
I am not sure I have ever seen Yea Forums be this tsundere, not even with Bloodborne.

Double ape is easier the headless ape.
I literally beat them in sub 3 minutes now.

Not having trouble even when I win I feel no joy. It's the most not fun game they have made that's all.

That's only because you spend a long time on the Headless Ape before fighting them.

No.
Nioh is far more difficult than sekiro.

Nioh post alpha was the easiest game Ive ever played.
Shame because the alpha was legitimately hard

i doubt even you believe this

Genichiro is a great boss not only because of how varied his toolkit is, but because he's the most honest boss in the game, no bullshit hidden shields, magnetic grabs or dishonest hyper armor on weird moves.

Genichiro is a check. It´s easy af once you control Sekiro's combat style but if you havent bothered till him...wellp

This is exactly what the board was like when Dark Souls released. People cry when they're not immediately good at something.

Is probably best boss ingame for how rewarding he is

>relying on big shields and armor
And weapons, yes.

That was my draw to dark souls. Fatrolling made the game harder. So did moving slower. Magic and dex builds were fun, but being a behemoth is more fun, to me. And therein lies the problem. Sekiro and bloodborne only really caters to one playstyle, dex.

I'm a 30y old boomer with shit reflexes just missing sword saint after one weekend spent on this
It's just a test of patience

OKAY SERIOUS TALK

FAVORITE AREA , FAVORITE BOSSFIGHT AND FAVORITE PROSTHETIC?

personnaly, I loved the mt kongou area and my favorite boss is by far Owl 2. Spear is my prostheticfu

I'm here too, you're afraid of the terroar. Don't worry, you'll get over it once you learn its tell (head hand will start squirming towards the neck stump, otherwise it doesn't move), after that just try to parry/jump his shit until you block his big vertical chop, after that he's open. I got him down to 30% last night I was just too drunk to deal with his sweeps
Also would anyone reccomend Midair Arts? I feel like Whirlwind would be good in the air

imagine posting before knowing how to greentext

You know this is objectively false. Did you play the DLC? That is when shit got harder I think. Also if you don't play a meme living weapon build it makes the game harder. Hope they remove that shit.

Also alpha was just as "easy" as the game on release.

Don’t forget to ring the bell and make the game even harder user!

>my favorite boss is by far Owl 2. Spear is my prostheticfu
good taste user, shame that those two don't go well together though

Ashina Castle. All those roofs.
Sword Saint. Pulls almost every trick all the bosses have tried to pull on you
Can't go wrong with Firecracker, but I never used prosthetics that much

>Also would anyone reccomend Midair Arts?
Senpou Leaping Kick/High Monk are probably the best since you skip the jump startup and go directly into the falling animation.
Midair Ichimonji gives you more mobility for setting up your pressure while also making the slow startup safer since on ground it would keep you stationary.
Other than those there's not really a lot that benefits from midair execution, especially the arts that can charge since Midair Art doesn't allow the charge phase, it's much better to combo those with Mist Raven for safe repositioning.

Sekiro is the game that seperates true dark soul fans from fake normie ones.

>lmao did you play the DLC xdd
Hit me up when you beat the game skill less with wooden sword m8.
Alpha had more damage recieved
Enemies had more aggro radius
Enemies didnt have an aggro leash
KI was extremely important, they nerfed the stun duration from improper ki use

The alpha was harder and thats why it had such an appeal.

the mountain/temple area
rape ape
dunno, firecracker is the most useful
the axe is fun though i havent used it much

they should have made the skill that lets you use flame vent to buff your weapon a much lower level skill
the buff lasts like 10 seconds and you get it late into the game so it's pretty much pointless

Why would I buy dlc for a game I found boring? also a dlc that was so creatively bankrupt that they just copied bloodborne for maria and chalices

finally beat this piece of shit, the biggest hurdle was the retarded ass movement and controls, update your shitty engine FromShit

double ape is way easier that normal ape

Summoned in Soulsborne games but I like the fact that the feature is missing in Sekiro. It forced me to learn the bosses and I've had a good time doing so in a more focussed game.

Fighting all the way back through flaming Ashina Castle was probably my favourite part.
Favourite boss was definitely Owl 2 because I liked the mirror match sort of feel to it.
Firecrackers were my most used prostetic but I wish the spear felt like it was more effective, I love a good spear in vidya.

Give me hints on how to beat the flaming bull, pls 4chink, i work at Kotaku and i'm stuck there

Attached: 275098725927.png (640x360, 246K)

final boss seems hard until you realize the last two phases are actually easy as fuck if you just bait jump attacks

Use firecrackers

Yikes, I think the general idea is that you're wrong purely based on the fact that the majority of players (people that haven't played BB) agree that this is From's best game, by far.

You're opinion is invalidated and if you're not having fun because you can't beat a fairly simple boss, you need to look at personal issues rather than blaming the game.

I see people will tend to dislike things they can't get instant gratification from more the more sad with themselves they are, league of legends is a good way of finding people like that. Without a doubt, I simply think you're jaded and generally upset with yourself rather than the game.

Attached: 1553908642159.png (674x1000, 1.02M)

The bull is a check on whether you know how to run or not. The bull can never catch you if you run and it requires turning to even charge at you. Run around him, get him to face the walls, hit him once or twice and run again. It's really easy. You're not supposed to parry or dodge him, just run.

have fun with that, ill see you in an hour when you finally manage to clear that room of 5 enemies

Yeah if I'm gonna be posturing headless Ape I might need Ichimonji to help keep the pressure on, that spear yank is neat but you can't hit it consistently between the sweeps and roar so I need a better way to wreck his posture

Don't use lock on, attack his ass, Firecracker every so often.

I played and completed all the alphas and it was not any harder than then the actual game.

I've cheesed this game more than I ever did souls games, honestly. I never really needed to. Only time I kinda felt bad about cheesing sekiro was when I killed corrupted monk with 2 stealth killing blows and last phase with firecrackers and dust. Just hate that fucking boss. I did guardian ape without abusing anything tho and it's my favorite boss. still yet to try 2 apes

>SS
>jobber
He's harder than old man Isshin

Three hours later I finally managed to defeat SS Isshin.
I almost tempted to cheese him by the run and bait for jump attack cheese but then I glad I didn't.
It is a lot more satisfying to beat him the correct way,.

To those who having trouble with him,
try using confetti between the fight
I don't know if it was placebo effect but I feel like it helps a lot

Did you parry Ape? If so how'd you do it? He keeps fucking up my posture and he's one of the few bosses that's so frantic he'll actually hit you while staggered

I think Genichiro is the best boss in the whole game.
He’s not too hard or too easy, and the fight really feels like a duel between two equals. No bullshit in between, just swords clashing.

You have no way of knowing what the majority of players think stfu. I beat the game too retard and it's objectively the worst from game "I" have played.

I didn't parry him. just ran a lot and took barely any damage from the first phase

you're mad cuz bad. he's right, you're just pitiful.

>Senpou Monks can get spirited away
?!?

Where the fuck do they land?

You can perfect deflect perilous thrusts actually.

>game is practically shouting at me USE LIGHTNING REVERSAL DIPSHIT
>my bad Miyazaki, I'll follow your instru-oh he's dead
>shit Miyazaki, that was almost scripted but thanks for the break

Dark Souls 2 did that already. It was just Dark Souls but better, but normies couldn't handle the slight difficulty increase and cried rivers over it despite it being objectively a better game than 1.

When i defeated the Bull i didn't know you have a sprint button on the game
It was really hard to avoid the attacks walking and jumping, but i managed to kill on my 5° try
I only figured out you can run on the game hours later

Ya I only platinumed dark souls 1 and 2. Everyone agrees that there is only 1 way to play this one. It rubs a lot of from fans the wrong way so get over it.

>t. beat Isshin.

Attached: 1535954269412.jpg (540x309, 33K)

Nut the fuck up and deflect. The easiest move to to so are the 2-2 thrusts he does.You can jump over the lunging side swipe where he lays on the ground after.

it's not casual filter, I've seen twitch streamer who's a terrible gamer beat isshin in just 2 hours

Yeah I'm doing the same I just keep slipping into his wonky hitboxes, it's like trying to approach a ballet dancer who's wielding a chainsaw

It's just memorizing enemy movesets and reacting to them like every Souls game. Same garbage as always.

Keep close and circle him anticlockwise
Jump rather than dodge
Use Malcontent to cheese some free hits, otherwise use the fire umbrella to deflect his big swings for free stuns
Get some basic pattern recognition skills so you don't just fucking run straight at his firebombs when he's at range

Have you beaten Owl yet? Just before that fight you can find Emma with Isshin, hug the wall and can eavesdrop. It has to be after you get the all the stuff for Kuro. If you beaten Owl, pretty sure you can’t do that anymore and won’t get the more difficult Estate for the harder Owl 2 fight.

How accurate is this regarding skill and execution requirements for this game:

Sekiro: Classicvania
Dark Souls: Metroidvania

SS can be lightning parried. Argument invalidated

Not him but am I locked from fighting Owl 2 if I'm at Saint Sword Isshin? Never had a eavesdrop prompt feelsbadman

>Where the fuck do they land?
They get Isekai'd in other FROM games.

>people finding Ape hard
I assume you did what I did in the first try and try and dodge his moves and use the trees. Don't. Second try I beat him after I realised you can just deflect his everything. I almost died in the second phase due to the terror attack kek, but I got him in two tries. I hate the "second phase is hidden" meme but it scared the shit out of me.

eavesdropping on emma/isshin is completely irrelevant to any ending
you only need to do it on kuro/emma after owl and then on sculptor/emma

those aren't hard games, and you don't need to be good at them to "platinum" them. if by only one way to play you mean playing well, then yeah you either play well or you lose. guess that's too harsh for a casual soulsbaby like you.

Divine Realm, for the looks
Gun Saint
Shuriken, for picking off weaker and otherwise annoying enemies like dogs and nightjars, and for the chase attack

I'm sure there's some way to cheese this game and I'm going to find it.

Lol I killed Demon of Hatred in like 5 tries. Git gud

Why did they fuck up the Guardian Monk fight? Mechanically its most satisfying when you fight the fake one but visually the true one is superior. However the phases end far too quickly for the fight to feel really satisfying whereas the fake one made you spend a while learning a full moveset. I swear this is almost the best fight in the game if only they didn't split it up like this.

Fighting other shinobi type enemies gave me the most trouble and also honed my ability the best in the game that made me git gud. Also found fighting them the most fun once you get into the rhythm. Father gave me the most trouble out of the end bosses.

If you can beat the game after looking up guides, its easy. If you can beat the game *before* you look up guides, its babymode.

This game is built around the idea of cheese. Being a shinobi means cheesing your opponent.

umbrella and its variants is the ultimate cheese for most shit

>whereas the fake one made you spend a while learning a full moveset.
Maybe if you didn't stack ashes with snapseeds and firecrackers, and add confetti for a good measure

>Dark Souls 2
>difficult
Maybe for you, but the general consensus was that it was easy.

Firecracker into double ichimonji.

>They've all been cheesing these games

You can cheese almost every boss in Sekiro.

Didn't DS2 have infinite heals?

Playing with Kuro's charm is essentially the same thing as being a shieldfag desu. You can fully block every attack except perilous ones.

>could either play a game I know I'll make progress in
>or play sekiro and bash my head against sword saint
>boot up sekiro anyway
why do I do this to myself

Phase 1 ape is more difficult than headless ape.

yeah, but that didn't stop shitters from getting wrecked and crying.

Deflect his charge like a bullfighter, slash at his head for increased posture damage and stuns

If you're getting squamish you can just double jump over him pretty safely

CoC SL1 is still the hardest game to SL1/BL4.

Tbh, I’m just better at Sekiro, BB and DaS3 than the Souls before that. Fuck that shitty ass movement that feels like you’re moving through a river of shit all the time.

If you parry his overhead slash he falls down and you can use the spear on his neckhole to yank out the centipede for massive damage.

>playing like shit is shit
whoah!

L1L1L1L1L1L1L1L1L1L1L1L1
R1

just parry all his swings. he swings so fast you can practically just mash parry and get them all. he'll kill his own posture after like two combos.

long arms are piss easy, just parry his tard rage attack

Spam L1, otherwise jump on him during his highly predictable sweep attack

You pretty much don't even need to bother to attack

>parry parry parry
>jump over sweep
>parry parry parry parry

You need to add a slight pause before the last L1.

Just block everything in time and make sure to jump over his sweep attacks. He's a lot easier than most of the bosses if you use a defensive strategy rather than an aggressive one.

Also, Ichimonji helps

it had the slowest estus in the series

I think Owl 2 fits this as well, and Sword Saint would’ve fit the bill if he didn’t decide to be a spearnigger

I guess half the pretentious faggots who already beat the game were using a fucking trainer on the pc version.

Fags

No you just cheesed the game and done mental gymnastics, fat rolling was the sign of a coward

Cheers

Long arms literally kill themselves like the guy in the Ashina Dojo if you parry them. The second phase has a mix-up that you need to jump over, beside that it's the same.

dark souls 2 would like to speak to you

People who are good at games like Sekiro. Shitters who can barely function will cry, complain, blame the game, call the game bad, and pretend it isn't their fault. Sekiro discussion so far has been pretty identical to God Hand discussion.

How do you kill those centipede infested monks in Senpou Temple?

don't, they're not worth it. there's a reason they're optional and drop nothing. that moveset was not meant to be fought honestly.

you need the red sword, it's story related so you can't miss it

Im probably blind, but where the fuck do you go after the Centipede giraffe boss? The door behind him is locked, and the hole in the ground just leads back to the "bonfire"

>Sekiro discussion so far has been pretty identical to God Hand discussion.
To be fair, Sekiro and God Hand do share a lot of core aspects when it comes to combat, which might be the reason why certain people like it so much, me included.
Sekiro is pretty much God Hand but with no roulette, parries instead of dodges, fixed DIE and all the enemies are Tiger Joe.

I think you're right, but there seems to be quite a lot of people here saying the game is too easy also. Not sure if theyre all trolls or not.

the key is in kuro's room

Can't kill those who reached true immortality and enlightment.

You get the key after beating a certain boss. So go somewhere else and do something else for now

I am one of those people though it's not horribly easy, I definitely think it's much easier than Souls. Maybe I've just gotten better at action games but I used to get stuck on bosses in Souls and Bloodborne all the time, I didn't get stuck on a single boss in Sekiro. I beat them all within 5 tries and it's the first from game that I beat multiple bosses on my first attempt, sometimes without even having full gourds. That said it's still plenty challenging and if you play NG+ with the bell demon and without kuro's charm it's VERY challenging so I have no complaints about the difficulty.

Yeah, in one phase

Does NG+ increase the difficulty much in this? If so is it just more enemy HP/damage like the other From games?

nah, for many once you figure it out it is legitimately too easy. only one or two enemies are really challenging still. hopefully dlc brings more challenge.

>Does NG+ increase the difficulty much in this?
Not him, but having both bell demon and Kuro's charm makes the game pretty brutal on NG+2 already since enemies are stronger and your posture regen is much slower.
Much harder than Souls games as there's absolutely little to no space for mistakes and Kuro's charm also nerfs the Umbrella to the ground.

Lots of attacks oneshot you and most attacks two-three shot you. You also take chip damage from any attack that isn't a perfect deflect if you give Kuro his charm back. It's a lot of fun, because you know if you're beating the bosses this way that you learned how to do it correctly and it wasn't a fluke or luck.

Alright, only other two places I remember was falling down into a pit with some headless monster, and returning to the starting place where a ninja waited on you to fight.

ng+ becomes easier and more or less a boss rush mode since a lot of shit can just be ignored or skipped if you got all the beads/seeds/prosthetics

Did you fight Genichiro? If you beat him you just need to go grab the key from Kuro's room. If not then you didn't finish Ashina Castle.

Just beat chained ogre and I can now reliably beat any General I find out in the world. Still feel really shakey on alot of the game mechanics, I marathoned souls pre-sekiro and it was a big mistake.

Oh, I still have shit to do at Ashina castle? Great, I'll go back and explore then.

>Sword Saint
Goddamn that phase 2. Took me about 10 tries for the whole thing. The worst thing about it is the area you're fighting, makes it hard to see his movements clearly. Funny thing is that the first time I got to phase 3 I beat him in one shot. Fun game, looking forward to NG+.

Mortal Draw is a guaranteed hard stagger on Guardian Ape.
You can also set him of fire real quick for high damage, even more damage if you have living force.

Never forget that the first week of Sekiro was literally nothing but Yea Forums crying about how cheap and bullshit it was

use the spear on the guardian ape it's super effective in giving massive posture damage by dragging out the centipede.

Is Isshin the sword saint the best final boss in all of From's souls games

Which phase? Phase two is a parry fest and let him get his combo off until he raises his hand all the way high in the air, then parry the final blow as he lies on the ground like a dummy. When he's on the ground, use the spear to attack the centipede inside him for huge posture damage.

It's always like this.

What did they mean by this?

First one

i got past the part with the white snake, was killing it an option?

People have been asking for easy modes for Souls games since fucking forever. Sekiro didn't expose casuals, casuals have been getting fucking exposed by From by a decade now, stop acting as if some big revelation is happening every time they release a new game.

Stick with bing bing rehash

How can anyone say a crap about Shields in Souls when you can just instantly block in Sekiro, with a change (if you're bad) to deflect at 100% damage reduction?
You even regenerate Posture if you're blocking, the only downside is movement speed but you can block pretty much any attack. That coupled with not losing damage (by not two-handing) and not shit. It's basically if weapon block from Souls had 100% physical reduction and a shitload of stability.

I honestly feel like I'm playing Souls with a greatshield in Sekiro. A parry greatshield.

>People have been asking for easy modes for Souls games since fucking forever.
And they've had it, its called summoning

Nah, even the Soulsbourne casuals have revealed themselves since Sekiro has none of the shit those shitters used to cheese the game

Perhaps not the most hardcore style of play, but if you're able to run around without ever getting hit then you should be able to win by just attacking whenever it's safe and then quickly getting the fuck out of there.

I mean it might take a while, but consider how long a dozen of failed attempt takes.

should Ape be this hard or do I need to level up more? If so where should I go?

Headless ape is probably my favorite fight in the game now. Once you're able to it's so satisfying to bully him.

Dark Souls is still king.

Where the fuck are you bitches getting all these gourd seeds? I've got four and I definitely feel like I'm more than halfway through this game.

yes and yes, but requires save scumming/reloading to get all in one go

You can buy a couple for 2000 apiece

Where the lady butterfly l00ds at

once you have all seeds you in end up with 10 drinks

Is that how you count in your head?

I have 6 AP and still do low damage on the Ape

Makes you sound like a tosser to be honest.

I don't understand how to use the umbrella, what's the point instead of pressing l1?

>for 2000 apiece
The only mechanic I hate is when you die you lose half of your money. In a fucking game about constantly dying.

Why is the sacred flame the only prosthetic way to deal with fucking apparitions and it requires THE hardest to get material in the fucking game.

Also is living force worth it?

>easy as shit phase 1 and 3
No

Spend them on money bags.

>Everyone got exposed hard for overlevelling stats, relying on big shields and armor
What else is there to do? A souls character has 5 attacks at best, outskilling an opponent is just about timing r1 and circle

>Also is living force worth it?
It pretty much makes the flame prosthetic twice as good

I finally beat him but fuck that was an ordeal, my hands are twitching like crazy.

No? Deflecting those almost always leads to posture breaks on the enemy for me.

What? The fight becomes a fucking joke if you just stick to his right foot the entire time and force him to spam only one easily dodged attack. Don't ever give him breathing room and it's a walk in the park.

I found both Jap and Eng dubs to be pretty lackluster. Also the other games had such good Eng dub since actual theater actors do the voices.

You're unironically just as bad as the casuls who cry about difficulty. You're just the same "soulsborne veteran" but with Sekiro instead.

I'm replaying the game and I didn't die even once so far
I love this game. Even it is harder than any Souls, it's also much fair.

Imagine being hit by the lightning in Isshin's last phase.

The one falling from the sky that is.

Owl 2 was such a step up from 1 , I really enjoyed it way better

Idk if you’re still lurking but you don’t need to eavesdrop on Isshin for purification ending. I beat Owl first and freaked out because I thought I missed the required steps. You need to eavesdrop on Kuro until he says a line about “Doing what must be done”, then you talk to Emma, proceed with the rest of the steps yada yada. The Isshin step is misinfo

>he comes back with his wife
>then their fucking kid shows up afterwards mad about funeral fees

Devil May Cry 3/4 on DMD and Monster Hunter have tempered me into a boss-slaying machine. Sekiro was difficult, and I struggled a few times, but I'm used to bashing my head against a wall until I succeed. Hell, by the time I beat the game, I did phase 1 and 2 of the last boss with no damage.

All the human bosses are good. Owl 2 was fucking fantastic and a joy to fight and sword saint is amazing as well. Genichiro is the best fight in the game though.

My japanese audio was fucked and wouldn't work. You have no idea how angry I was

All I have left is Owl 2, Demon of Hatred, and the final boss, but I'm burning out really hard.

So I just beat Genichiro, the second encounter at the castle, and he is piss easy! I fought his first phase 6-7 times, and most of them were deliberate deaths because I wanted to reach second phase with as many gourds as possible.
I reached his second phase twise, the second time I beat him, AND I played reeeeeally bad. I have no idea why people are so frustrated with him AT ALL.

Is the Shura Ending the only one that adds new bosses?

One of the other endings has 2 minis and a boss, but they aren't exclusive as long as you do the thing that unlocks them.

Fuck Mibu people and fuck Orin of the water

By then he'll be easy because I'll be buffer by then, with most bosses so far after a few tries I figured out I wasn't ultilizing something and fixed it, for example mada mada was ez after grabbing those Ashina style posture buffs, I only lost to MY NAME IS once because I didn't know his horse is allergic to firecracker
This was just 'its a Rajang, figure it out shitter'.

they removed summoning because it was a cheesefest

Nerf Bestowal cost and increase duration damnit. No combat art should cost emblems.

It's purification with the return to Hirata.

It's weird that 2 prayer beads are locked behind a middling ending.

How can you be so bad at video games?

>anime posting incel looking down on other people's lives

This is no harder than any other FromSoft game. If you have any difficulty with it, you're literally too retarded to memorize three buttons.

>Nerf Bestowal cost
Bestowal is busted, so no, nerfing Bloodsmoke cost though, I can get behind.
>No combat art should cost emblems.
No way fag, if things like Shadowfall didn't cost emblems the game would be pathetically easy.

They removed it because the whole game is built for 1v1 encounters.

If you kill them enough times they stop coming out of the ground. I made it a point to genocide that village so I could explore without zombies on my ass at every turn.

He is right, you didn't play shit you fanboy retard

After you have memorized how enemies attack and can deflect in your sleep you just want to show off. I need my anime attacks.

I love how hard DSP is currently getting destroyed by the ninja dude

Based

How the fuck do you dodge the Old Demon King's sweep attack? Also, how can I use the fire umbrella effectively?

I feel the same way. I beat Dark Souls and Bloodborne enough times that I'm sure I can beat this (haven't finished yet) but I'm just not sure whether its worth it.
In Dark Souls, bosses usually opened up a vastly different area. it was like stepping into a different world with its own creatures, enemies. The environments and the atmosphere was so diverse throughout the game.
Bloodborne had that horrifying atmosphere going though the whole game and the moon phases really added to it.

This game so far seems more like Nioh. Beat a boss eventually, go to a different area that looks exactly the same, same enemies, similar environments. Boring OST, boring NPCs, nothing weird that would stand out and make the game memorable.
It's a good game but it does not have an identity on its own like the previous titles

Just get a trainer and activate infinite Spirit Emblems. I did that for NG+2.

Bloodsmoke pays for itself, I wouldn't mind if they did nerf the cost but it's not necessary, in fat, that's the real busted move
>fighting group of enemies
>lol pretty could makes the forget what they were doing and you can chain backstab

Lone Shadow?

I play on console and dam a dum dum and don't know about things like that.

> No combat art should cost emblems.
user, late combat arts bypass enemy and boss posture plus a guarantee stun.

You mean "" "" "" "" Lone"" "" "" "" Shadow

>Bloodsmoke pays for itself
It "pays for itself" too late in the game to be of any use and there's barely any group of enemies you can use it to and justify the cost especially when both Bestowal and Marionette far outweight Bloodsmoke in terms of both cost and utility.
If it did cost less it would be another matter entirely though.

I don't know. I played Sekiro and Bloodborne side-by-side, and I realized they're pretty much polar opposite in terms of muscle memory. For instance, Bloodborne is largely about spacing and movement and range, a lot of times the camera will need to be unlocked, and you'll have to tap the defensive button the moment it reaches you. In Sekiro you're always in the enemy's face, always locked on, and you're instead holding the button the moment before, which is probably the most difficult adjustment of them all. But they're both easy once you get used to it.

I'm just tired of all these tryhard stupid 11 year olds who only recently discovered that difficult games exist and feel like they're impressing anyone by simply learning how to play a videogame. "Git gud" is an old and exhausted meme that even Reddit and GameFAQs and Youtube commenter retards have latched onto, so why the fuck do you still think it's cool?

>And now that they can't cheese
This is the cheesiest fromsoft game yet though. You can posture spam/deathblow every single boss except for demon of hatred.

It is my personal headcanon that the game was supposed to have a greater emphasis on co-op fight.

I think that because one of the first mini-bosses you fight has the only NPC in the game willing to fight with you right next to him. I think it was supposed to be a tutorial kind of fight to teach you to work with someone.

The fact that Emma specifically tells you when asked that she'd like to kill a demon, when Demon of Hatred is a thing, makes me think they planned to have her tag along that fight.

Luckily they realised that idea was shit and dropped it.

That's not a cheese at all

Marrionette is fucking uselsess, the ai is shit and they stick to you like glue instead of going ham on your enemies. Oh, and they can hit you too, so there's no point in trying to jump in the fight. That's how I came to use bloodsmoke.

is right, that's like saying Daigo 'cheesed' Chun Li when he did his infamous parry.

Thats how the game is intended. The regular healthbar is just bait.

I never really found any uses for it aside for the Seven Spears and double Lone Shadows at the Dojo. Never used that skill ever again after those.

Not him but take it from a guy who fell for the '6 hours on mada mada' meme, after a while you stop spamming and start reading because reckless parrying takes a toll on your posture bar since half of them will input as block

Is Sekiro the Dark Souls of video games ?

It holds 60FPS on High settings with a 970M senpai, how old is your GPU

You can do it user, I just did and this is my first FromSoft game, just focus on parrying the sword and running away the split second his head hand starts twisting cause he's about to roar.

You're doing it wrong if you're blocking, I'm talking non-stop attack. Using axe prosthetic inbetween attacks which most boss attacks don't interrupt. I did this for every boss except demon and even SS Isshin was just attack spammed through.

It's almost as if people play video games for the GAMEPLAY. God this board fucking sucks lol

Demon of Hatred is more similar to a Dark Souls boss than any other boss in the game. It shouldn't give you that much trouble.

Honestly OP I think a lot of people don't even realize they were doing this. For example I was late to the Souls party and only just finished Dark Souls 1 a week before 2 released. I played DS2 on release and was just completely blown away by how active (and functional) the multiplayer was. The ground everywhere was littered in summon signs so I didn't fight a single boss alone but was just having a blast with coop and pvp throughout. Pretty much steam rolling everything. In DS3 I specifically made it a point to fight every boss alone because I didn't want the same steam rolling experience. If that DS2 experience had been my first one I might not even think there was much of a challenge to these games and mostly jolly cooperation.

No, fuck you and everyone like you that can't provide a simple answer when asked something and just wants to flex at people.

The sculptor. His woman got eaten by the ape and he killed it. Probably left his sword in there and stopped his Shinobi ways because the demon of wrath was about to take him over and if he kept killing the ape for eternity he would turn too quickly.

Don't worry, you'll get more

That meant she made him go kill other people.

Fuck off Jerome.

Does dragon rot do anything to the memorial merchants when they get it? It seems like the only significant thing it does is prevent you from doing NPC sidequests until it's cured.

funny as someone who hated the souls games i enjoyed the little ive played so far of sekrio

And you think she never made him square off against her? More than sending him out to kill people I picture her throwing him into a pit of rabid dogs with just a knife and an arm tied behind his back. WHILE BLINDFOLDED.

no

During 2nd phase when he leaps in the air; that's a sweep. Just back up a little and jump over it

Dragonrot is barely a nuisance, only cure it if you're doing a questline. FROM pulled its punch on that, shit should have killed your NPCs, even the sculptor, or turned them against you. Maybe make it plague like and making enemies more aggressive and they don't forget about you once they've seen you.

Are you retarded? You must have not played Sekiro, considering parrying works nothing like in Souls games.

No post more I'm jusk kidding

LMFAO
No it isn't, not even close to as hard

In a world where magic youth preserving water exists this is no excuse. She can do illusions too, no reason she couldn't glamour herself young.

she's not vain like you nigga

making enemies more aggressive or even stronger wouldve been cool but I don't think it killing your npca would add much

>hey guys look at my one shot build!
No.

There’s not much that I can find and I can’t into pixiv

Can you name some other games where people on Yea Forums complained it's too difficult? None really come to mind for me.

MY DICK WILL NOT BE DENIED user!!!

QUICK QUESTION Yea Forums
I just beat headless ape and the female ape and wondered if the headless ape would recover if you dont finish it with the mortal blade while its lying on the ground after you kill it with the shinobi execution?!

Beat the battle on my first try to and can safely break down the fight.

Headless ape is a pussy fight and the only challeneg he poses is before you cut his head off.
The second ape is also weak as shit posture wise and easily dealt with from simple firecracker spam when headless is far away enough for you to get some good damage in

Then again he died nearly 50 times to the one on the well so he said it contributes to prepping him for the one at castle

There, dragonrot is now meaningful

Not the same animal.

True corrupted monk,love the flow of the fight and the music, fountainhead palace is my favorite zone,the loaded umbrella, specially the purple upgrade, allows you to destroy apparitions, so it is my favorite tool

Man you people need to learn to read subtitles better. Sculptors training partner was a male. Every instance refers to them as "he" and "him" and so on. There are zero indications of it being a woman. The female finger inside Guardian Ape has nothing to do with that.

I.... love this

>tfw fight actually became easier when i attacked as much as i realistically could
it's good advice

Only in his third phase, meanwhile Old isshin only has two phases

>giving the player a huge penalty which affect the rest of the game if you die
>in a game where you're supposed to tackle a boss, die a few times to learn its pattern and then kill him
Thank god you don't design games.

In pretty much every fight against a human you can attack 3 times before you're forced back into defense. Then repeat.

>meant to die
>have seen dozens of niggas first go anny number of bosses
go back to souls.

All the grunts in game are from the japanese voice actors even on the dub, if you use dub you are a subhuman, no exception except for Aris.

I'm going to get lynched for this but if you ask me Dragonrot and the loss of XP and money upon death are just pointless in Sekiro. In the Souls games it added a sense of tension for making it back and retrieving your gained souls. Over here I simply resigned myself to losing everything at a boss since I'm going to die over and over no matter what I do as it's the only way of learning the fight. So while I'm getting more experienced with every fight, Sekiro is losing it. All it ended up doing was make me go out to farm XP and coins whenever I wanted them which was as boring as farming always is.

This game makes me wanna travel to Japan.

WHAT?!
Pretty sure the sculptor talks about how his partner in training used a whistle to fill the valley with a malancholic sound, when you get the whistle he asks you in a very exicited tone where you found it, and during the demon of hatred fight you can use the whistle to stun him 3 times, it is fucking obvious his partner was a female and the owner of the finger whistle, and also died fighting the guardian ape
