Comfy Sekiro thread

how do you fight owl there?

Who is your favorite miniboss?
Who is your least favorite?

I really like fighting the seven spear guys. They're moveset is cool, and I like big ass spears.
Headless can go stuff a dick down their exposed esophagus, though

>learned
>has to unlock mikiri counter

That's the final area but some previous areas got repopulated with assholes. Enjoy Fountainhead, it's gorgeous.

You're reaching the final stretch.

His posture bar is almost as small as the normal enemies

Just get the timing right and deflect his double slash

You don't really need to attack at all to beat him

He essentially kills himself if you can even decently parry.

If you're too much of a shitter though just cheese him with the shield combo attack, and get your ass stretched by what comes after him.

Right when you see the sheathe glint either 1-2 your LB to parry or dodge left. Another way is to run left when he does the flurry and whirlwind slash.

As soon as you see his blade emit a white glow, press deflect twice. You can literally stand still and beat him.

why does walking in one direction go super slow?

Something something time travel

Cheesing him isn't going to do you any good because if you can't beat him, you sure as fuck aren't beating what lies ahead.

Just double parry

I just beat the meme divine dragon, now shit's on fire yo.

Am I getting close to the end of the game? I really don't want it to be over.

Fucking O'rin, ran past her the first time and she fucked me up on the bridge and right when I almost killed her she threw herself off the bridge and I got nothing.

Like 5-6 hours, depending on if you fight the optional endgame boss

Reasking this

Lady Butterfly, she's the right amount of fast and deadly and she comes in early enough that you get gud with her. Really enjoyed her fight even when I died +10 times.

Shichimen and underwater headless can go eat a dick.

Shichimen teleport a fuckton if you use confetti on them and that lazer is cancer if there's not enough space. Or you can opt for not using confetti and dealing 1/5 of your normal damage.

And fuck headless because his attacks are so slow I misstime deflects a lot. And fuck underwater combat, everything's so clunky.

Don't worry you still have about 10 hours of dying to the final boss

What was the point of this webm?

git gud
Seriously though he’s intimidating at first but he’s a glass cannon. He’s actually one of the easiest bosses.

Unfortunately yes, but the last couple of bosses are some of the best, if not the hardest. Siege section is great too.

he lost his memory nigga ok shush

What the fuck was this guy's problem?

Favorite: Seven Spears
Least Favorite: I genuinely can't think of a single miniboss that I wasn't super hyped to fight

I hope you fought hirata owl first, also make sure you do the outskirts again before final boss.

There are no items/achievements you get for doing all the training, no. You get an endless Bite Down for killing him. It's up to you.

wooooooOOoooOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You can deflect the laser for 0 damage and terror buildup.
Also, the Headless ranged attack does way more damage than what I would expect it to do.

Actually I take that back, fuck the underwater headless, that shit was annoying

I missed the event to trigger that ending so I'm gonna have to deal with it on NG+

I'm going the Sekiro 2: Wild West Edition ending

Bosses you died the most against?
For me prob it was butterfly old lady or demon of rage. Hell, even isshin sword saint was easy af compared to them

where am i supposed to go after genichiro? there's like 4 smoke signals around the whole castle

>Shichimen
I'm pretty sure he was designed around the umbrella shield in mind, there is one that blocks phantom attacks and if you use it on him it becomes a very well designed mini-boss fight.

what the fuck was the exploding's guy problem? fuck him, he has killed me all three of my playthroughs

Shichimen can be outmemed by the purple shield

Snake Eyes was fun as fuck you pleb. Finally getting gud and parrying everything perfectly was one of the most satisfying moments of my playthrough.

What did everyone think of this boss? Piss easy, but I thought it was pretty fun.

The underwater headless is great for the surprise factor alone.

you can get return ending and still fight hirata owl, i did. I had like 4 options for endings when i finished.

I unironically died to this cunt the most out of all the real bosses and minibosses.

I think Shinobi Owl would be behind him though.

Attached: 814380_20190323113322_1.jpg (1920x1080, 1.15M)

His first phase is the most unfun boss in the game by a large margin IMO. 2nd phase is rad.

It's kino.

Attached: Divine Dragon.webm (960x540, 2.98M)

besides the final boss and the optional boss before him it was unironically Gyobu Oniwa

holy shit how will shittymen ever recover?

I missed the trigger to eavesdrop right after killing Owl, so nah. I'm fucked.

is that ng+ or can you trigger one to spawn there?

Just saying that the timing is generous is rly disingenuous. That isn't the only factor. A huge part of the difficulty is being able to read/predict movements and learning how to react to different situations, not to mention how many bosses and enemies use long flurries of attacks that you have to parry in rapid succession

The sound effects were just super comfy

Favorite: Seven Spears, once I got gud with Mikiri, or the Ashina Elite 2 fight near the end.

Most annoying: Headless/the other one.

Least favorite: Probably the Lone Shadows, but I actually learned their moveset on the regular enemy versions of them in my most recent playthrough, so I think I can actually fight them now instead of cheesing it.

Probably Owl (Father) or Lady Butterfly, but that was also my favorite boss fight of the game.

imagine getting fucked by a boss designed to be fought 2v1

That's not a mini-boss.

If you kill the double ape, when you come back to that place, he pops up.

Wasted like 6 divine confetti before I realized that doing the shield counter attack removes the buff for some fucking reason

Anyone want to explain to me how come you get to fight Owl in Ashina castle if you go back in time to kill him 3 years earlier. Is it just a plot hole or is it explained?

I'm pretty sure I died the most to final boss, but hirata owl and guardian ape would be a close second. the one boss/mini-boss I had the most trouble with that I think most people didn't was 0'rin.

There's another one in Hirata 2. Fucker has dogs with him

And yet he caused more dragonrot than the real bosses.

FUCK ALL PURPLE NIGGAS

Hell no, first phase is fun as fuck. Parrying all his giant ass unga-bunga swings is super satisfying

you can also just parry his laser, no need for the prosthetic use.

I was playing it the day it released at a friend's house and both (my friend and his roomate) were looking and I wasn't able to focus, I killed him as soon as they went to their rooms and left me alone in the living

Holy shit, what? Doesn't it still build terror though?

>cant fully upgrade your health because you didn't eaves drop kuro at some random interval so never got access to the second estate memory that has two mini bosses

actual bullshit

I'm still playing and just got up to the monk/rin of water but Genchiro has given me the most trouble so far.

Eh he's pretty nerfed in the 2v1. They both have way less health and aren't as aggressive, I did it right after and found it way easier.

snake eyes and giraffe are pushing my shit in. i had room to cheese the first longarm with fire but fuck this tiny room and fuck gunboys.

Attached: 1532404646737.gif (416x307, 2.58M)

Probably Lady Butterfly. She forced me to git gud.
Though I have yet to beat Isshin and the Demon of Hatred so we’ll see how many tries they take me.

If it's a perfect parry no I don't think so, even an imperfect one only give small amounts. That's how I've beaten all of them.

Nope. For some reason

Giraffe is rhythm heaven with parries. You just gotta combo in succession to his attacks

Attached: centipede giraffe.webm (960x540, 2.89M)

Isshin is small time.

Attached: Isshin NG+.webm (1152x648, 2.96M)

Don't try to cheese longarm. Literally just stand there and parry everything, then jump over his viscerals. If you run out of stamina, go to the ashina tree and get the improved parry stamina ability.

Not as long as you have the lilac shield. It also completely blocks GApes phase 2 roars

Any tips?
I really suck at this, died like 10 times at the guy who gives you the first gourd seed, and now the prosthetic guy is sick
How the fuck do i know if i'm supposed to parry, dodge or jump when the kanjis appear?

>Giraffe
How???
Literally just mash L1 and jump occassionally

is there any benefit whatsoever for playing without kuros charm?

Wait that's who stabbed me in the memory?

I got knocked out and went back but never saw anyone there.

why the fuck do you have the moonlight greatsword?

lmao, he's just a regular enemy later on, better prepare your ass

snake eyes johnson or whatever the fuck its name was. the first one in the poison pit. I went the wrong way and and just kept try and trying and I just couldnt do it. I had to give up and got the right way and get the mortal blade first.
I had no trouble with blazing bull, but these bosses have me fucked up. So as for bosses so far I died the most to the second time you fight the guy that cuts your arm off in the beginning.

you don't eveasdrop kuro you eaves drop the sculptor and emma after he tips you off by saying hEY iTS KiNd Of dRAFty IN HeRe?!?!

Whoops thought you replied to someone else

>Sword Saint
>uses a spear and a gun
Checks out

Yeah, it's definitely a gimmick fight, but I actually enjoyed it. Worth it to get to see that giant AOE deathblow against the small dragons in the first phase

rape ape got me the most also, but that just made beating 2ape on first try even better

>He didn't do the moonlight greatsword quest

>not just running perpendicular to the laser and dodging it
>not sprinting to his next spawn location the minute he disappears, and hitting him as soon as he spawns
I didn't even realize you could parry/block the laser, both of them died pretty quick for me.

>giraffe
He attacks 4 times, then 5, then 1 final attack, with the sweep mixed in. Block in that 4-5-1 order and you'll be fine. He's a parry boss, don't try to actually kill him, he'll posture break himself.

>That isn't the only factor.
It is when it's what the game is built AROUND. In almost all situations blocking is a safe option. The game even tells you when you can't block ffs. An actually hard game would have proper balance between all your options.

And come on, flurry attacks are a joke.

Genichiro by far. Mostly because he actually taught me how to play the game, so everything after him felt pretty manageable.

Favorite: O'rin
Least favorite: Headless. All 5 of them. Why, From.

what was that move you did right at the end? jumped the sweep into a flip attack

Demon of Hatred, but I died like 20 times before realizing I had the fucking bell demon on the whole time. Beat him in like 3 tries after that.

You gotta eavesdrop kuro before even getting her to go back and speak to him.

This. And the optional end game boss.

Genichiro is From's greatest achievement.

You should kill yourself for making the most time wasting pointless webm in history.

What is wrong with you?

>parry, dodge or jump when the kanjis appear?
telegraphs, you have to watch what the enemy is doing and learn the attacks, you'll get better if you stick with it

giraffe is a rhythm game mini boss
his combo is
4 swings
5 swings
1 swing
sweep follow up just jump towards him and stomp his head
do this two or three times and he breaks

Most kino bosses:
Genichiro
Owl 1/2
Isshin, Sword Saint

I hope the dlc does more with lightning, only four people used it

there's a second estate memory?
also when I got my 9th prayer necklace it was it was the max and i didn't get the two minibosses

Favorite: Glowing eyes Jinsule (idk his name)

Least favorite: Underwater 2 on 1 headless

It takes practice. In general, if they look like they're about to do something, that's what they're going to do. Example: if a guy is holding his weapon off to the side and low, like he's going to do a sweep, it's probably a sweep. If he's got it chest height and cocked back, like he's about to stab, it's a stab. It took me a while to get, but eventually I got it. You'll get there too user, just keep trying.

I didn't have much trouble with him on my first run through but in NG+ he felt ridiculous, doing so much damage even when I block, it pretty much required completely perfect deflecting.

So the rejuvenating waters at Fountainhead have basically become given the ayylmaos immortality? Then some centipede infection + water going down to the temple caused the centipede version of immortality?

Attached: 814380_20190403212625_1.jpg (2560x1440, 1.4M)

FWIW, it's just any time before the climax, not some random interval

Favorite miniboss so far is O'Rin. Learned a lot during that fight and I dig chicks who play the Shamisen.

Least favorite is probably a tie between those Loneshadow cunts and the Headless. Both of these fuckers have stressed me out to no end.

Dodge or jump are the two options (you caaan parry some but it's not worth worrying about)

As for picking between those two, you have to watch the enemy. Grab and sweep attacks are pretty well telegraphed and you need to jump them

Thrust attacks will generally still hit you if you jump or just sidedodge. You need to mikiri or have enough room to sprint way out of the way.

he didn't actually jump
High Monk is a attack that dodges the sweep with a flip

I had a lot of trouble with Snake Eyes too my first run through, this time i've learned to just hit her twice, wait for a counterattack, repeat. Dodge out of the way of the unblockable, then repeat. Sometimes you have to wait a couple seconds for the counterattack, but just wait, block, swing twice, etc.

Wolf... Wolf had a hard life.

Ng+5 and divine dragon killed me once but beat sword saint on first try. That super combo from divine towards the end can shred through your posture if you're not parrying perfectly

King Allant is hardly sentient when you fight him.

No info but theres definitely space in the game to plug into. They already have the memory bell system and with all the Tomoe hype I wouldn't be surprised if she made an appearance.

He eats rice without cooking it.

He talks to you and shit, as he slowly blobs around the room pathetically swinging at you.

>gywn and gehrman are absolutely kino, but Isshin is the better fight.

I'll have to go with Gehrman > Isshin > Gywn
Gherman wins bc design, atmosphere and soundtrack

Attack power upgrades are a trap, use those skill points on skills. When you hit NG+ enemies re-balance to whatever attack power you're at, so you're just flushing points down the drain.

If you've already unlocked all the skills I guess you could, but it's still a waste.

I really liked this one.

Overall, I was kind of disappointed in the OST, though. I was hoping for some memorable tracks like Gwyn or Ludwig.

a bit before the tree with the lighting guy there's a point where you go down the stairs and two mobs come out running, if you look back end up from the point where they run to you can see a grapple point

Go to the top near the palace grounds statue. When you're looking out the building to the right, go there past the waterfall and you can grapple up, and the path will lead you to him.

>1966053

How do I git this fucking gud

go through the palace where there's the red robed guys eating bodies
turn around and look for a grapple spot on the roof
splore round there

Mist Raven's Feathers is underrated. Anyone who is having trouble on Isshin should be using that one.
Firecrackers also help trivialize a lot of things.

There's a grapple point on the top of the temple behind the sakura idol
There'll be a tree on the cliffside and you'll see a small cave near that, grapple to it and just follow the path

>enemies re-balance to whatever attack power you're at
Do you have a source for that? I've seen a lot of conflicting reports

I can sort of see that, False King's even got that distinct Ichimonji slash. I wonder it there were some conscious callbacks to him in there.
youtube.com/watch?v=kgXN4_s85wo

Did they ever explain the ash on Wolf's face and hair? I think they said it wasn't a birthmark. Also anything about why some things that happened during the story seeming familiar to him?

On the first phase, using the firecracker works really well to stun his ass. The only really hard thing is avoiding his grabs. Supposedly the sweeping one can be countered with jumping, but I was always getting caught when I tried doing that so I would just do a well-timed dodge to prevent getting caught.

During the second phase, the only thing that really kept fucking me over was when he would do the scream. I kept trying to back away slowly instead of just outright running away from him. Once I got that down, the fight became a lot more manageable.

Also, pic related helps a lot during the first phase.

Firecrackers are too OP. You can stagger almost anything with them.

This is probably one of about three times when this "just spam block" meme is true.

You feed the Great Colored Carp with them
Feed him twice to get scales from the attendant
Three times and he'll reprimand you for overfeeding

Facing the doors you open after the underwater carp tunnel (where you killed a bunch of nobles, and that lady was stabbing that dead noble), looking at the stairs down towards the tree, go right. At the edge of that cliff, you should see a grapple point a littleways up the wall, on your right. Follow that cave and you'll get to the pot noble.

What? That's an even bigger plothole because you bring shit back from the memories. You gain 2 prosthetics, the item for one ending. Even Owl 2 comments on your prosthetic. How could that happen if it's literally just a memory?

Mibu Village and there are surrounding is really kino as well especially if you’re into Shinto folklore about water spirits and the spiritual meaning of fog/mist. They love ghosts and spirits in Shintoism so that whole area is a love song to that. Listening to Mist Noble’s flute playing or O’Rin’s enca music is so great. It’s actually exactly what I expected to hear in Sekino and I’m not disappointed. The fact that they use it sparsely in these moments are an attestment to how the spirit of the game itself is tied to its worlds that it’s creating. You really have to discover the beauty of Sekiro much like you have to discover the beauty of different lands and cultures.

This is From Soft’’s best game bar none,

They also have a mutual connection in Logarius who has some similar moves, uses a very similar sword to Allant and shares the sword+spear archetype with Isshin.

She kept trying to do her shadow clone attack but the clones never spawned, so I used the opportunity to home out.

I just beat divine dragon at 40 hours.

I'm enjoying it too much

Beat the game and feel no desire to keep playing now half way through NG+. Literally the same shit. No build variety or PvP was a mistake. Shame I'm going to have to shelf it with only 70~ hours.

I had a shitload of them by the time I reached this fight, but I'm pretty sure that's because I went through the Senpou Temple and the monks there dropped bscly nothing but sugar.

They aren't really necessary, desu. I don't think I even used it during the round that actually resulted in me beating him. It just makes the first phase go by quicker which may make increase your chances of surviving his second phase.

you got gud.

Truth. Also this: It's so fucking cool how the DNA from that 2009 game is still so strong ten years later.

spooky

>managing to use a combination of sugars and kunai shuriken to finally bring down its ape partner.

Bad news. Once you understand bosses and their movesets the game is a snore. My first playthrough took 40 hours, my next one (NG+) took like 10 hours. Not even shura ending either.

I keep it active almost all the time. Breath of life basically heals me back to full health most of the time.

>mini ITX
what meme case did you buy user?

its ok user. it took me 45 hours for my first run, and I still missed some optional bosses, which probably would've taken me another 5 or so hours. just enjoy it at your own pace.

The first one is the hardest one, once you know how to beat everyone the game goes by really fast.

I'm with you, i'm three bosses away from beating NG+ and I don't think i'm gonna do a third. I wanted to 100% it but it's just such a slog.

Same here user, that firecracker attack was absolutely FUCKING me, until I realized how perfect the flame umbrella was for him.

The first playthrough of a game is what really matters to me. Plus I don't really fuck too much with NG+ after beating the game the first time

How much harder does the Bell Demon make the game?

Leave the area and go do ashina castle instead. come back when you've got better attack/poise.

Saved my life against the demon of hatred by letting me use malcontent an extra time

I didn't really get the combat until I fought Genichiro. Hopefully the game is smooth sailing from here on out, I was just brute forcing it before.

Noticeably but not to an extreme. Things hitting harder is the biggest annoyance but you'll be swimming in upgrade mats. You can turn it off at literally any time.

I played my entire 1st paythrough with it and NG+ and it felt negligible. I heard it only effects aggro range too.

Wow this really did not age well

You seem to take like ~1.5x damage

You keep your vitality but all prayer beads get replaced by bags of coin, assuming you found them all.
You keep attack power too but it can continue to be upgraded.

I think Sekiro has unironically ruined the Souls games for me.

Either the past where you went to and killed Owl is an alternate timeline, or when you killed Owl it retroactively erased him in the future, but the invasion still happens with or without Owl helping the Ministry.

how exponential is your attack power compared to ng+ cycle? it probably gets stupid at ng+3.

One of my favorite things about these games is how that DNA manifests, and old themes and motifs inform your understanding of the new.

This game looks better in my memory.

easiest boss in the game but it was so fucking cool i didn't care, I like that the game actually threw in a semi-scripted fight like that cause it ends up standing out.

Do you just take out half the enemy's HP with 74 attack power or is there an actual damage cap for the damage you can do with each swing?

I'm at the first Snake Eyes and I feel like I'm out of money, even though I've been careful and invested in coin sacks and used mibu balloons. Should I be grinding for coins to get the expensive vendor stuff? I grinded to get Blackhat Badger's stuff.

juzou gave me so much trouble at the start of the game, the most satisfying moment in the entire game was when i fought juzou's rematch with a shinobi buddy in the alternate hirata estate and killed him first try.

Are they male or female?

how do you beat isshin? sometimes i can get to phase 3 without healing and sometimes i die with 0 flasks on phase 1. it feels like a completely random fight where my potential success is limited by what moves the AI chooses to do at whatever time, because some are completely unblockable and/or undodgeable.
sometimes phase 1 he's predictable, other times i feel like he's doing moves i've never seen before. same with the spear. against the spear, for example, how do i know after deflecting which attacks are safe to counter? sometimes he staggers, sometimes he doesn't. it feels really messy compared to the rest of the game. how can you tell whether he's going to sweep or not? sometimes i'll go 10 fights without him sweeping, and sometimes he'll do it twice in a row, and i can't tell when it's coming because you can't see shit.

White and black is male and the tabby is female

Uhhh how about..... run to the right when he shoots that? Holy shit you people are so bad at this game.

Sekiro forces you to be hyperaggressive whereas Souls games encourage a more passive, opportunistic approach.
I think the hardest thing to swallow when you go back to Souls is that the fights look even more ridiculous than they already used to, compared to the massive trading of blows and specific evasion techniques of Sekiro rolling around like an idiot against enemies that can't even track properly is pretty pathetic, doesn't help that your character's animation in Souls is horribly robotic, especially in DS2.

fromsoft are fucking horrible at continuity and basic universal canon, I'm sure vatti will fanfic the his own canon to make sense of it but fromsoft doesn't pay as much attention as people wish they would. they mostly only give a fuck about level design and gameplay mechanics.

Hes actually significantly harder in the 2nd encounter and does far more damage, thats the great part of this game, you actually just got better as you got farther

i'd say anywhere from 30-50 is the average for 1st playthru user, mine was 41

Same thing happened to me as well. I must have been fucking shit on my first playthrough, cuz I died to him like 30 times. Then NG+ got him first try.

Probably cause I fought him so goddamn much I memorized his entire moveset.

So I just filleted SNEK and got its heart, and I don't think I know an NPC that accepts this. Is the heart supposed to be given to a specific (new) NPC later?

Attached: 20190403213227_1.jpg (1920x1080, 248K)

he's just a regular shinobi enemy, but you are likely to have zero prayer necklaces when you first encounter him, and he does so much damage that even with perfect deflects he will still eat through your posture pretty quickly, meaning one missed deflect is likely to guard break. he can kill you in one or two shots to vitality and at this point you're unlikely to have more than 2 or 3 gourds.

I love that the game slipped in this boss fight as a secret, it completely fucked with what you were taught the whole game right down to how you really dont aim to take his posture out but his health, by far the most tense fight of the game for me even more so than ishin, cause at least ishin had his lightning parry move to wipe out his 3rd phase.

Divine child. You need 2 of them.

The heart along with another one deeper down the cave is used for one of the endings. The rice loli (which you may not have found yet) will take those later on. Just know that when you learn to dive, you'll need to go back to the temple and take a swim.

>fighting ghost spam warrior
>he teleports away at half health like usual

Has this happened to anyone else?

yes, it's needed for the best ending

It definitely does not seem to be time travel back and forth along a single timeline, and their characterization as "memories" suggests it's constructed from the mind and not an entire parallel universe you're gaining access to. My hypothesis is that it's a pocket-dimension like the dreamlands in Bloodborne. What happens there is real and not just imaginary, but what exists there is entirely defined by whatever force created it

>Snake eyes, just because their grab breaks the flow of the fight.

>Not baiting out and countering the charged double swipe like a true ninja

Did you also beat all the mini-bosses and optional bosses?

I FINALLY BEAT THAT FUCKING NIGGER DEMON OF HATRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far I haven't noticed a big difference in the damage I've done, bosses definitely seem to do a lot more to me though.
I imagine the ng++ runs will still manage to keep the damage you do fairly similar, by that point you should have all combat unlocked and be able to spend skill points to boost attack on top of already getting memories over again.

Owl is kicking my ass so hard I don't know what to do. First time I've died more than once to a boss so far and kinda losing interest rapidly because I know there's only like one area left after this cunt.

>there's only like one area left after this cunt.

Where do I get that Umbrella prosthetic?

I leave the game on idle too much, I probabky spent 10 hours idle.

Why the fuck is Old Man Isshin tougher than Sword Saint? I mean goddamn. That took me longer than SS did. Granted I was on NG+ and gave Kuro his charm back , but the way I stomped every other NG+ boss I expected it to not be too bad.

Do a couple of runs where you don't try to kill him, just concentrate on getting him to attack and learning the deflects and movements. Hit him and see how he responds, it's possible to bait him into chains of hits and parries to eat up his posture.
I had to turn up the brightness a hair and sit up in my chair to really keep an eye on Isshin, his swings are quick and brutal.
He's an amazing fight, remember you're doing this for fun and don't forget to call Genichiro a bitch every time you put him down again.

I thought it was a good touch. Having Geni be mandatory before SS Isshin shows how far the player has come from the early game. At the end he’s nothing more than a nuisance to the player

What is the Shura ending?

He's really overwhelming but once you understand that you can assrape his first phase and parry everything in his second phase he's a chump.

personally I played with the disposition of trying to glue myself to bosses and putting the pressure on them the whole game. this isn't a recommendation just letting you know where I was coming from as a player. what I ended up having to do was learn to perfect gennichiro and ISS first phase until I was getting ISS to two health bars without healing or resurrection. what I had to learn to do though in ISS phase 2 and 3 was to learn how to sprint away after getting tagged to find opportunity and space to heal and take advantage of heal gourdes you really can't chug in his face. second he gets into some pretty long combos sometimes and you have to know when to break away/sprint away from those. third he likes to do a sweeping back step that creates space which he follows up with a volley of gunfire because he's a weak shameful bitch and you have to learn to dodge into those and interrupt his pussy ass gunfire. fourth he does those stupid AOE sword gust attacks and I just used the raven feather prosthetic on that bullshit but it's easy enough to walk around or dodge during gennichiro and ISS stage 1. and the last thing is you have to not freak out when he does the lightning attack in phase 3, it's literally the exact same thing as the sword bitches from fountainhead, just be patient on the timing and jump counter it and you'll be rewarded with a lot of damage and follow up damage on him in phase 3. if there was an obvious way to bait that move out i'd recommend it because it's the easiest way to chunk his bitch ass in phase 3.

Genichiro should be a joke to you by now if you have learned how to play the game.

literally just run up and do a big move like ichimonji or your own mortal blade, it'll interrupt his
or just run straight behind him and mash attack

Yeah, he failed.

>purple ninja before Owl
Just run through the room and out the window. I don't think he even chases you outside.

Got in my way.

Really? I went there before finding the scroll at the bottom of the river but only came to the NPC with nothing there.

Not sure if I killed Genichiro when I got here though.

he kills the shota

being a jobber

the archer just stares at you for a solid 10 seconds before actually attacking too, i have no idea why he'd mention those

Underwater headless are a cakewalk, you just were playing wrong I bet. Not trying to insult you, just saying.

Yeah you get some dialogue with the head priest regarding the rice loli then he gives you the infested chapter and asks that you take it to her. I did it on accident since my autism wouldn't let me progress the story until I went down all other available paths

Instead of obsessing over getting easy mode immortality, he could've become a CHAD like his grandpa and single-handedly defend Ashina from the Ministry invaders.

That's part of his motivation though. No matter how much of a chad his grandpa is, he's still dying of old age

Why couldnt we get to see lady butterfly in her youth? I guarantee you she was a 10/10 babe. She better be in the dlc i swear to God miyazaki

>or just run straight behind him and mash attack
This. I just waltz up to him in every fight, strafe behind him, the slice his ass up while he does his mortal blade shit. If he goes for the double, slice his ass some more then sidestep it. I'll get sloppy and get hit but it's 100% reproducible.

It’s my second favourite fight behind Genichiro. Just because it was easy doesn’t mean it was bad as some people seem to insinuate.

It fucking unclicked for me and I don't know how that's possible.

He could've defended Ashina but instead he's frolicking in a flower field with an underage boy while his castle is burning to the ground.

There’s a cap. After your 14th attack power it goes up way slower. At this point every 1 point does basically nothing

Currently only have 40 hours on Steam. I left my computer running Sekiro for a few of those hours as well.

So how long until we get boss vs boss videos. They seem like they would be very entertaining to watch compared to Dark Souls.

Master must not grow fat!

I don't want them to make dlc, this was obviously made by B-team and I want them to commit to making a sequel with sekiro and the divine child returning the divine dragon to the west. if they aren't focused on dlc they could easily pump it out in a year and half.

firecrackers
you can also parry everything he does

Genichiro cared enough about Kuro to not lock him up or torture him in order to get the blood, and Isshin was on Kuro's side so they both had some sort of loyalty

You thought he was having fun? He was consumed by the fire, constantly suffering. You gave him a gift.

It's a good 20 seconds on PS4pro. Then 10 seconds to run to the fight, 30 seconds to whip Genichiro's ass, so a solid minute between attempts gets old.

Run, only slash him a little when he's turning around or right after he finishes attacking.

>Demon of hatred is literally just a bloodborne boss
The fuck is this bullshit?

>sequel in the west
but then they'd have to violate all of their licensing deals and admit sekiro is a prequel to the soul series

Isshin is pro-Kuro. He sends Emma to wake you up so you can save him, supports you in your quest, and checks in on him in Ashina Castle

Genichiro seems to have some level of respect for Kuro's status as a lord, but he's forsaken all honor and become completely self-serving (or Ashina serving, according to him)

It's made a little murky by the circumstances of Isshin's leadership though. He lead a bloody coup, but it's not clear if it was against Kuro's family or a purely military regime or whatever

So fight him like one.

I never thought about it that way user, thanks

its almost as though from software is business-minded and keeps making a continuous series with different titles to navigate the complex international IP law they're beholden to

Isshin only cared about one thing: kicking ass.

Does this game have any spooky parts? Got spooked by footage of the serpent boss.

this. i still have to go back and fuck him up to see if he even drops anything. i just ran past him to grab the feathers

The sculptor mentions that you “confronted” the memory when you finish up the hirata estates so it might be that sekiro is in some intense medidative state. I have no real answer for the prosthetics or the items that clearly carry through the memory but it might function like bloodborne’s dreams. It might actually be another meta physical plane of existence.

Bruh Gehrman very much wants to kill you. Granted, it's for your own good. But he does want to kill you.

To anyone thinking the centipedes are unique to the monastery : explain Corrupted Monk and Hanbei the Undying.

Dodge to the left, not even kidding. Dude only slashed from top left to bottom right facing him.

it just makes me mad because brainlets try to grasp onto the literal one-off lines and marketing materials that separate sekiro or demon's souls as proof positive that there's no an effort here to create a single continuity. they have no actual understanding of game publication / creative design beyond throwing their entire lives away on games and then post their dumbass opinion.

sekiro 2 would be dope and i hope we get it. if from could scale up a legal department to get the necessary rights in order to make a handoff from sekiro to oscar happen, that would be the dopest thing.

>you can use spear chunking to drag centipede out

h-how

How do you avoid the Demon of Hatred's sweep combo attack?

>favorite
O’Rin. Japanese ghosts and all that Jazz is right up my alley and I love how everything relating to her plays out like a traditional Japanese ghost story. Gameplay wise she’s tough as hell and I can appreciate the fact that her backstab cheese is not as obvious as other mini bosses.

>least favorite
Same as you. Headless. An absolute dildos to fight against when you don’t know what to do against them and when you do know what to do against them they are still a slog to go through because they remove half the mechanics you use to fight. Literal definition of anti-fun.

>he doesn’t know

Yeah he's raping my ass too.
I got to his second bar the first time I tried but haven't gotten that far since then. I die faster the more I try.

Why were these nobles feeding on the Okami warriors though ?

>I die faster the more I try.
Go to sleep. You'll beat his ass in the morning.

Treat owl like a dark souls boss. He has like 3 attacks that you can safely punish. Don't try to block or parry him until his hp is lower because your posture will get fucked.

maybe he just remembered where he stashed the items and anal beads he looted from their hmm?

Butterfly, I’m glad she was my first boss because I got a hang of the combat afterward

firecracker cheese, nigger

I want to mating press emma while kuro watches.

this happens to me with Owl 2, every attempt so far I go retard and I haven't been able to get more than 20% off of him

>first boss
quite literally impossible. your first boss was drunk juzou

>some previous jar noble who wanted to be master created the infested and helped fuck over Ashina by killing previous carp

Yeah, im gonna be stuck on this one for ages right? Any tips? I actually dont think i can make it through 3 phases of sheer pain and timing
I cant do it bros

walk up behind her and slap her ass with a ceramic, it lets you deathblow her and skip phase 1

Then how come the people of Mibu village who are directly below Fountainhead don't get infested with centipedes and turn into zombie midgets instead?

fountainhead palace
get to palace gate idol
get on roof and tether on trees to the left.
feed Master
but not too much, don't want him to get fat

It actually makes very little sense if you think about it for more than 2 seconds

Is there any lore behind these pot fucks?

Juzou is a miniboss. The bosses are the ones that you perform final deathblows on and give you memories. Gyoubu is the first mandatory boss.

eventually you'll get lucky, that's sword saint isshin

post a single first try confirmed video to prove me wrong. it's a moveset luck boss.

he didn't know it, but if he had gotten his way it likely would've led to another dragonrot plague

drank the corrupted water and ended up like the mibu villagers I guess

Good run user. I'm still stuck on him, seeing that gave me some ideas

I want to mating press owl while kuro watches while he is mating pressed by gennichiro with emma deepthroat brapping into his mouth while the divine child watches in terror.

yep dude, something something they said Japan, something something the names are different. All bullshit mandated by any sensible legal consult after a game engine deal like Bloodborne's or Dark Souls'. Your next line will be "I've never worked on a game in my life."

git gud at parrying his first phase, then pray to rnjesus for the rest

Should I send the samurai dude to the zombie rape dungeon or just let him go where he wants?

You're going to feel like an idiot for posting this after you beat him. He only has 1 attack (2, if you count the sweep he rarely does.) and no posture. He's one of the easiest mini-bosses in the game.

Deflect check. I beat him playing like Souls and dodging, but it took 20 tries. Then I learned how to deflect, and he killed himself in 1 try next playthrough.

>Desperately projecting an overarching solid connection on a group of thematically resonant objects

This is literally the same mental process that makes people believe in insane conspiracy theories and mash together different theologies until they believe in the black cube of saturn. Go to /x/ and educate yourself on how stupid you look.

his title in game is actually "Isshin, the Sword Saint" so he is right, sorry

You can do it.
Now go learn that fucking fight.

You can actually block or dodge everything he does with good timing. I watched a literal quadriplegic do it earlier after I beat the game.

>explain Corrupted Monk and Hanbei
Maybe they got the centipedes from the monastery

he get in your way and wanted to be an immortal boy

Witness the stagnation and decline of the idle rich

the reward for the surgeons quest aren't worth it, you can send either him or dumb fat monk to him and end their quests but their rewards are both better iirc

I couldn't do it. Nigger did nothing wrong to me and I was pretty sure the surgeon faggot was shady.

surgeon quest is stupid don't send anyone there and don't send anyone to the merchant.

they are ayy fish people like the nobles, I'm not sure why they live in pots though, maybe they are imperfect somehow or were transformed for being traitorous and trying to kill the carp.

I'm not sure I know what I'm doing with Demon of Hatred. I'm just running around avoiding his hitboxes and getting in small hits, occasionally staggering him.

With his 3 bars this seems more like attrition.

I enjoyed it quite a lot, seen it several times over the years. Personally I feel like it gets a bad rap for the violence and being "edgy", but it's the dialogue that I enjoyed the most.

Demon of Hatred is an obvious mechanical allusion to the Souls games, as indicated by his name. Treat him that way, with sprinting and staying in dead zones, and you'll beat him in just a few tries.

Are we going to get fight Tomoe in DLC?

deflectlet cope

Yes, the idea of raping fresh cunts gets me hard as fuck. Seeing the terrified look in girl's eyes is the best part of fucking, and if you don't think so, you're probably just incapable of experiencing it.

>press deflect twice
>1-2 your LB
what does pressing it twice do? ive just been deflecting by pressing it once, then using rb to follow up attack

This, he's pretty much Artorias with a few more tricks up his sleeve.

Seethe more games journalist, there isn’t going to be an easy mode for you. Go play yoshi.

Ah the achievement says "Sword Saint, Isshin Ashina-Defeat Sword Saint Isshin Ashina"

In this case, "The West" means China. As in "Journey to the West".

how do you even fight him?

hopefully, I also want to see dogen

You deflect both attacks and almost max out his posture.

maybe they have to breathe underwater like fish

ah, i thought it was some riposte shit ive been missing out on the whole game or something

i think what the game says wins out over what the achievements say

don't they specify korea?

I could never get the fucking thing to work, do you need to be a certain distance away from them?

>fundamentally chinese character going further west China is the allusion even in european translation of a Japanese game

the cope is approaching levels which should be impossible

Bell Demon doesn’t effect bosses, you had the power within you all along

Not that user, but how the fuck do you avoid some of his moves? Like the initial fire ball attack? And his stomp seems inconsistent, because sometimes dodging works, other times it doesn't.

post the video or shut up, pussy

>tfw i learned how to beat all the bosses by sprinting around to doge all the attacks instead of learning how to deflect
>got to isshin and now am fuckekdcdddd

How did you make it that far in the game with only single deflects, you can deflect EVERY swing and he swings twice very fast, double tap to deflect both

can you attempt this post again in english?

DoH, 13 tries.

lmao what an arbitrary definition. watch:

the first real boss is the guy who fog walls the area beyond him. Juzou is the first boss.

wow so hard to make up bullshit criteria.

Genirchiro is the first boss in either case.

I didn't quite understood your post but none of the characters are chinese. Except maybe Takeru but he's fucking dead.

stay on his ass. if he gets away from you immediately sprint to him and catch up, more often than not you'll go right under his fireball.
deflect the stomps.

That's retarded, you need multiple attempts to learn any bosses pattern unless you play it extremely safe and slow
there's no luck to it and you can easily handle anything that he throws at you
You might have a learning disability if you think it's luck

not my cleanest post but thanks for confirming you're a total brainlet

There's even European in the game and it doesn't use "The West" to describe his origin, it says "Across Southern Seas"

right except you fight multiple juzou clones and every miniboss gives prayer beads while actual bosses give memories
retarded zoomer can't make a basic distinction

>multiple attempts to learn ANY bosses pattern
the absolute state of copestry

I love it when a bosses' moveset finally clicks. Going from getting killed in the first few hits in Owl 2 to getting him to phase 2 without needing to heal is the best.

Then how do you explain buying from that not-patches dude, then killing him in the past and discover he dissapears like he never existed?

>use incomprehensibly bad grammar
>get called out
>buhhhhh ur dum

>deflect the stomps.
I'll try that, thanks.

if u jump towards him, u will magically recieve 0 damage from him.

first genichiro isn't a boss confirmed by this user, thanks dude

iirc some anons were asking about how to get to a certain place and he uploaded that webm to show them

which of the lazuli upgrades are worth it?
