Game is shit. Imagine having Defiled Watchdog as the second boss of the game (or a mini-boss, who knows since it's impossible to beat) - a game that has shit fucking mechanics. I don't even know how to approach this. Just run and slash for 10 minutes? Fireworks and fire? Dodge attack dodge attack for 10 minutes?

I've platinumed every game in the series and just S ranked DMD in DMC5 before coming to this. This game isn't finely tuned diffculty, it's just a shitty Activision game that people only like because From's name is in front.
Guy who’s never played a souls game before, I beat him in 5~ minutes high out of my mind one night and chanted “the bull isn’t chasing you; you’re chasing the bull” over and over
What works for me is to sprint in circle to get to chase him until he plants his horn in the ground to do a sharp turn. You get an opportunity to do a charged attack then. Dash away and keep sprinting until you get another opportunity. Rince and repeat.
I have to admit I don't understand why ogre and this are met so early in the game. They really are not fitting well the actual gameplay of sekiro. Even the guy on the horse isn't so great compared to the other bosses.

>I'm good at Souls, why am I bad at Sekiro? It must be the game's fault wahh
You just haven't adapted to the game, you're stuck in the Souls mindset, gotta relearn the game
Cooper Howard
>I dont know how to approach this >but I know how to approach this
It's not fun to approach it that way, are you retarded?
Jace Rodriguez
Writting "get gud" when you probably cant even beat the game either...
Nathaniel Long
>are you retarded Says the braindead troglodyte who doesn't understand this is a two minute fight and the bull pivots hard if you run behind him.
Daniel Evans
Please don't post if you can't read the OP, thank you

Only serious reply in this whole thread incoming.
For the first few hours, I thought the game was too hard, but by a small margin. Usually, when a new enemy or mechanic is introduced in Souls games, you get some alone time with it. You get to figure out what the game wants you to do. Sekiro isn't like that, that's why Souls vets are having a hard time: you don't know what the game is expecting and since you almost can't heal, you get very little time to figure it out.
The bull is easy, deflect his head charge attack, he'll be dead in no time. Actually, deflect everything, all the time. You'll be on top of things in no time.
I gave you the beat advice on beating him. Christ you are a whiney little bitch. Uninstall the game and your life.
Parker Kelly
get him into the corner and stab his ass. ez
Jaxson Powell
>Defiled Watchdog Haha are you serious nigger? You run faster than the bull and you can turn sharper than the bull. Hit it in the ass you fucking retard.
Elijah Jackson
>Usually, when a new enemy or mechanic is introduced in Souls games, you get some alone time with it. You get to figure out what the game wants you to do. Oh please, Sekiro's fine don't make excuses It expects us to git gud and so we do
>I platinumed BB So? You could have Platinumed Simcity, they are completely different games. Most likely you get fucked up because you keep thinking you are playing a soulsborne game. You need to get good at Sekiro.
Isaac Russell
The game let's you: Deflect Block Dodge Sprint unlimited And yet you still manage to find ways to die?
Zachary Butler
Block and deflect his attacks. It will have you being straight up in his face where you will be doing heaps of posture damage. When he seems to overwhelm you, throw firecrackers to gain control of the situation. Shittiest boss for sure.
Juan Ramirez
>merchant says sculptor wandered towards the battlefield muttering about flames >grapple point outside the shrine burnt off >demon has one arm, the other a fiery phantom arm >thanks you as you kill him And that's not even counting all the foreshadowing leading up to that point LOOK AT THE SEALS You do know who the Tengu of Ashina is at least, right?
Justin King
>S ranked DMD in DMC5 DMD in 5 is significantly more unfun than Sekiro at any point in the game aside from maybe Snake Eyes before you learn your way around them.
Nicholas Lopez
It's very hard to miss.
Benjamin Ramirez
lets not forget orangutan looking
Lucas Martin
Granted, the blazing bull is pretty bullshit. But it's easy. Just dodge to the side, whack, fire cracker, whack repeat. It's a boring fight in an otherwise great game.
let's not forget lady near the castle gate talks about him whole game
Isaiah Sanchez
If you're playing Sekiro like you'd play Souls, you're playing the game wrong.
Like, you're literally playing it incorrectly.
Gavin Taylor
this soulfags gotta re-adjust their casual reaction and tune it to the master form
Ryan Ross
It's not a good game after you get good tho
Sebastian Parker
Sculptor's entire character is literally "FFFFFUUUUCK I'M POSSESSED BY A DEMON OF WRATH OH FUCK, I'M SO FUCKED I AM THE PERSONIFICATION OF HATRED AAAAAAH" >"hmmm gosh that demon of hatred seemed awfully familiar, what was the deal with that?"
Jaxson Williams
in shura ending you become that demon
Aiden Fisher
ring the bell and charm run
Benjamin Cooper
why does he look like he is about to cry?
Xavier Martinez
Stop playing it like a Souls game, you autistic cunt.
Deflect that fucking bull.
Christopher Moore
But anyone with any skill deflected and parried in all souls games you retard
Oliver Jones
>you don't know what the game is expecting The game has an NPC dedicated to explaining mechanics.
>you almost can't heal Healing was even worse in DS1. Souls vet my ass.
Nicholas Bennett
i just beat owl in hirata. feels fucking good
Isaiah Torres
It takes five minutes. You don't have five minutes to fight a boss?
Jaxson King
Thinkan bout stalkers
Benjamin Morris
The bull is fucking easy I swear people are just meming by saying it’s bullshit. Even the one at the Fountainhead is no problem and only took me two attempts, which was only because I got caught by surprise and didn’t deal with the archers beforehand on my first try.
Anthony Lee
I love seeing seething soulscucks. btw kys OP
Andrew Kelly
FILTERED
Owen Thompson
>Game is shit. no, you are shit >I've platinumed every game in the series and just S ranked DMD in DMC5 before coming to this. this means nothing >hurr muh le stylish game with brainlet enemies!!!
Ethan Ortiz
>filtered by faggot bull nothing to see here lads
Ian Wright
Sekiro is the only From game with a fucking tutorial, what are you going on about
Carter Gray
The bulls probably were was my least favorite fights in the game imo
Not because he's difficult, but he's just kind of boring and tedious compared to every other miniboss/boss.
I love seeing Yea Forums söys get destroyed by this piss easy game. Eat shit.
Cameron Howard
I love the game but I agree, the bull is lazily designed. It's just not fun to fight. The first time I fought him I was looking for a gimmick or waiting for something cool to happen. Nothing. You just chase his ass until he falls over.
Noah Hill
2ape was really damn easy, don't get all the asshurt it causes.
Connor Ortiz
I have savestates prepared for getting all endings. Which one should I see first? What's the most vanilla?
Landon Miller
You can get a stealth attack on the fountainhead bull. Don't think it actually kills him though.
Dylan Flores
I didn’t know that actually. I even tried to do that too but only ended up slapping its ass with my sword.
Dominic Robinson
>filtered ny the fucking BVLL OH NO NO NO
Andrew Perry
It only takes a quarter of his health bar for some reason.
Kind of weird that's the only instance in the game where it works that way, but I suppose it would have been really easy otherwise.
Alexander Gomez
Point is to make you drop your guard for an easy kill, then surprise you that its not actually dead
William Murphy
Just deflect the attacks. You'll have to learn at some point.
Easton Peterson
Those goddamn trailing hitboxes.
Nicholas Torres
You can parry, run circles around him, or jump on his head. You can build posture damage pretty quickly once you realize you can parry.
Julian Cox
Am I the only one who dropped dit after getting the ogre down to one more hit to die then getting teleport grabbed and dying about 10x? Literally dropped the game, it's shit and das2 tier ai amplified by 100x doesn't make it good
Run circles around him until he does his charge. Once he charges he'll recover with a toykyo drift type move. When he's tokyo drifting thats your time to go up on his side and hit his head from the side behind the horns but dont hit his butt.
Adam Russell
Just fucking deflect. That dumb bull cannot compete with glorious Nippon steel. Pretend your dodge key doesn't work, unlearn souls habits.
Logan Taylor
or you can abuse firecrackers and use no skill or timing at all
I'm dogshit at videogames, but i've beaten Bloodborne and I beat it by just grinding and spamming blood vials. Sekiro relies on pattern memorisation as well as knowing what prosthetic tools certain bosses are weak to. It's not "shit difficulty". Just use the fireworks on the bull.
Matthew Thompson
i bet you didnt even realize you can stealth attack him LMAO
Cooper Watson
That's true for every other encounter, but the bulls and demon are honestly easier if treated more like a souls boss.
How do you deal with the burn debuff and the heavy posture damaage?
I had to cheese him by running behind him.
Cameron Lopez
That's probably how they intended you to fight him.
It's just a shitty fight.
Angel Nguyen
you have the DEFLECT, not parry, the charge attack.
DEFLECT is parry at the last second.
this way you gain insignificant posture damage, and he gets a lot PLUS he gets stunned. ( for 3-4 more hits). than you run away from him and wait for next charge attack.
do it 4-5 times and he is open for finisher.
Andrew Martin
with the fucking burn debuff gourd you can get in the same place you get the firecrackers and the ichimonji skill (reduces posture) that you get right after the boss that's just before the bull
try use brain amigo
Brody Diaz
I had the red gourd by then, which heals all burn status progress and instantly heals the status effect if you got it activated, also buffs your fire resistance.
Jason Stewart
>BB easiest souls like game git gud
Liam Jenkins
I know this is bait but the best way to beat this fag is to man the fuck up and start chasing him instead of him chasing you.
Brody Wood
Sekiro himself confirms it after killing the Demon if you manage to eavesdrop one of Sculptor's talks with Emma then confront Sculptor about it.
Jackson Rivera
when the bull moves move with him, stay on his ass 24/7 and just get small 1-2 hits on him every time he pauses. it is unironically one of the easiest minibosses
Thomas Sanchez
>Fireworks and fire? If you have firecrackers and still get killed by the bull, you're either baiting or a polygon journalist.
Landon Gomez
The thing I love about this thread and fromsoft drones is that they take this as "I had trouble with the bull" not "this game is boring and the mechanics are shallow' which is what the OP is saying. Fromdrones are the biggest brainlets on the planet.
