i almost kinda wanna youtube this boss fight. i heard he throws shit at you or something lmao.

Single worst boss fight in the game so far. Nothing makes sense. He's a zoning ranged character with massive damage unblockable attacks and also poison and curse? FFS how is that supposed to be fun to beat?

Unless you cheese him with the firecracker he's such a stupid, annoying bitch to fight, it's so much luck, it's so tedious, I hate it.

>can't beat le monkee

Wait until lmao2ape

Speaking of shitty game design, the spear really pissed me off when I played through. They make this huge deal about it being able to strip off armor, so when you get to the armored warrior you think "oh I'll use the spear". Well it doesn't do shit, and the fucking axe does more posture damage than it, and you're forced to just kick him off the ledge instead of ripping his armor off which would've been more interesting. But then the spear has the completely unmentioned, hidden ability to pull the centipede out of the ape after deflecting his cleave in phase 2. I don't get it.

It's like they tried to make Midir 2.0 but forgot about the fact you can't abuse iframes. Drawing the fight out so long is just boring and tedious, not fun.

He farts in your face causing poison and throws boulders of shit at you which also cause poison.

he has 1 unblockable
just stand in his face and parry like every other enemy in the game

>hidden ability to pull the centipede out of the ape after deflecting his cleave in phase 2. I don't get it.
what?

The fight is as quick as every other, you're just fucking shit and scared of parrying his attacks.
Use the spear to pull his centipede out when he falls over

This was the 2nd most memorable fight in the game.

Only topped by Isshin going all John Carpenter at the end.

Imagine getting your ass beat by the ape. Lmao. Reminder that Miyazaki has gone on record to say this is his favourite boss fight ever.

When he does one of the sword combos at the end of it he'll stand up and slam it down on you, if you deflect that you can use the spear and it pulls the centipede out of his neck and fills like 1/3 his posture bar.

If you parry the headless ape's big swing that leaves him stunned, you can thrust the spear through the neckhole for big damage

itt: git gud casuls

Boy are you in for a surprise when you get to the cave

I got walled by him for 2 hours until I beat him without dying, what a rush

Shut the fuck up tripfag

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BEAT BY AN APE

I already beat him. My point is that
>run away
>wait for shit attack
>hit a couple times
>firecracker
>hit a few more times
>run away
>repeat x20
is just boring. Phase 2 isn't bad because you can abuse the centipede but 1 is much more annoying than fun. I didn't feel any sense of accomplishment after killing it.

seething

Why do idiots like you with no reading comprehension complain about this shit? Did it look like Robert's dad had poorly fitted armor?

>run away

You’re doing it wrong

You're worse than I thought. You have 0 reason to run away from him whenever he's not screaming. Firecrackers are useful but completely unnecessary if you just hit that L1 button.

So party him instead of Naruto running in circles you stupid pussy.

The best way to play Sekiro is to just go madlad and try to posture kill everything through parrying.

LMAO
You'll fight two of them later in the game

B-Team: wow, bloodborne so cool, how can we poorly imitate it while missing the point and not understanding what made bloodborne good?

This. the optimal way to play is to rush and spam attack to force the opponent to deflect so you can parry their counter.

You can block/deflect like 3 of his attacks and then you get posture broken. I really didn't give a fuck about killing it the "right" way, I just did it the easy way because it wasn't fun.

Hang yourself

>You can block/deflect like 3 of his attacks and then you get posture broken.
how fucking bad is your timing dude
>I really didn't give a fuck about killing it the "right" way, I just did it the easy way because it wasn't fun.
THE RIGHT WAY IS THE EASY WAY LOL

You can't get posture broken through a perfect deflect scrub. Learn to play the game.

Deflecting doesn't do shit against it. I'm not retarded, I beat the game months ago. You're not gonna posture break it in phase 1 because deflects don't do anything and even if you consistently land hits, by the time you'd even be able to posture break it its healthbar is gone anyway.

>he got filtered

Literally one of the funnest boss fights in recent memory.

>cheese him with the firecracker
The game literally tells you to use firecrackers against beasts. How is that cheesing? Prosthetic tools are part of the game.

>FromSoftware reuse everything in their games
BREAKING NEWS!!

Stay eternally butthurt my anglocuck friend

>Deflecting doesn't do shit against it.

it becomes very satisfying too imo, specially when you start throwing the other skills/items along
just parry dude, plus he has an attack that when you parry he just falls on the ground and you can hit him like 4-5 times before he can get up, the only time you run away is when he screams, also use pacifying agent so you take less damage from the scream

>filtered user is getting btfo by some newfag trip user
OH NO NO NO NO NO

That's why you toss some Ichimonjis into the mix.

This game relies more on memorizing attack timings as a sort of blind QTE than actually responding to tells.

monk was way harder, beat the monkey on my 3 try

Cope tripnigger

>bro you have to press buttons at a certain time thats QTE

It's a fun boss. Bunch of casuls on Yea Forums

No need. I’m not an anglo so I’m all set.

You can parry almost everything, then clear with ichimonji when he does big attacks.

Going full evasion in this game is the worst thing you can do.

>game puts a huge cooldown and hardly any i-frames on your dodge
>DUHHH SOULS I GOTTA DODGE WTF THIS GAME IS TRASH
every time

The way that enemies attacks are animated is like, it halts on the windup frame for a really long time, and then the follow through is really fast. In most other action games, the windup is fast but the follow through happens right after, so you're punished for being slow on your reflexes. The ape and the giants are really bad for this because htye have cartoonishly long windups but other enemies do this shit too, especially on grab attacks. You can't even hard read and dodge preemptively because the game just says "no you did the wrong thing" and grabs you even though you weren't anywhere near the enemy's attack animation. Lots of enemies just have a stupid amount of health for what they are.
>perfect deflect 8 times in a row to kill me
Like, doing it 3 times in a row is a challenge, asking me to do it 5 more times is just padding. Speaking of padding, lmao at the fact health upgrades exist. Its honestly funny how your healthbar can get almost 10x bigger and you still die in one hit to most of the enemies in the game. yeah yeah "git gud" but my point is the health upgrades are functionally pointless and might as well just be mario coins for all the good they do. Its just completion fodder.

God I wish I could be a fly on the wall for every seething Soulsbrony trying to play this game and failing.

Just imagine seeing them thrash around the room impotently with tears and gritted teeth, throw their controllers into walls, hearing their moms screen from the other room. I’m joyous just thinking about it.

lol

Should shop GRRM's face into Eldin Ring

Too bad you’ll always be known as a third-world subhuman faggot lmao

But I’m not an anglo.

Reused asset fags are some of the dumbest people that show up in Souls threads. Fact.

This isn’t a Souls thread. It’s a Sekiro thread. Souls and BB have no relevance here.

>they don’t have the purple umbrella
I too got pummeled on ng, but I wised by the third playthrough

The only issue I have woth this guy's fight design is that the first phase is a Souls/BB boss, and the second is a Sekiro boss. The game teaches you to play a certain way and this big lummox throws a wrench into that process

No he doesn't. You parry his first phase just like any other fight.

Use your fucking tools, this guy more than any other boss is super weak to players with actual resourcefulness.
Umbrella, fire, crackers they all fuck him up.

>Miyazaki’s favorite boss
Kek, the man’s an absolute troll.

It was so much fun. The second phase scared the shit out of me though.

Am I the only one who didn’t use tools or deflects in either phase? I just chugged the purple gourd and powder. Shit was brutal.

You only think that because you’re getting psyched out by the fact he doesn’t have a sword. You can still deflect all his attacks other than the grabs and his posture goes down very quickly.

Combine your deflects with a little flame vent and living force follow up and you can get through the first phase in less than 2 minutes
