Name a better looking level.
You literally can’t.
Name a better looking level
Jason Harris
Elijah Peterson
Yeah this whole area was pretty breathtaking
Hunter Bell
this nigga took a picture of his TV
Leo Myers
Ryan Powell
Kayden Cooper
And you can go underwater!!
Owen Hill
>pictures of your screen
Jose Rodriguez
>not taking pics of your screen
Alexander Robinson
I think Dark Souls 3 looks better than this.
But they're both pretty forgettable, average games.
Lincoln Scott
>taking pics of your screen
pretty chad move desu. no messing around with software. just bring out the phone
Michael Foster
Nothing in any Soulsborne has ever come close to the pristine beauty of Sekiro
James Thompson
I love that you can see the rope giant dabbing in the background
Andrew Roberts
Jacob Sanders
Even the underwater areas are beautiful
Julian Perry
Dylan Harris
>tfw you are one with the lightning
Lincoln Richardson
It’s so god damn pretty. Only prettier scene is the Sakura Dragon fight
Ryder Parker
Michael Brooks
Let us pray for the games that could not compete
Owen Harris
The one that came before it, the hillside monk area.
Daniel Adams
SEKINO
David Jackson
on a PC to boot. now that's what I call chad
Isaiah Martinez
how are they average games
Joshua Ortiz
Mibu village? It’s nice but it’s no Fountainhead
Kayden Russell
What the fuck are this colors???
David Adams
this is the shitposting I crave
Kayden Taylor
Although the spooky nipponese atmosphere is top notch
Brody Cox
I really need to go back to play and beat the Guardian Ape
Lucas Anderson
Hahaha. He's taking pics of his television.
Tyler Cook
He’s easier than you think. Don’t let his size sike you out. He’s just a dumb ape and you can deflect him and punish him easily with flame vent+living force
David Jenkins
Honourable mentions to Hirata Estate of course
William Peterson
This game absolutely has some of the most beautiful video game landscapes created. The verticality and nonlinearity of the world is also very impressive.
Levi Gray
i wish they hadn't made this boss so painfully easy, because it was one of the sickest parts of the game, but it was just over so fast.
Ethan Cruz
Probably my favorite looking area in a From game.
Jace Torres
>pictures of screen while playing on PC.
Luke Nguyen
I was surprised how good it looked on XboneX
Made me kinda pissed off how DS3 isnt enhanced on the OneX and looks/run like ass
Robert Richardson
Is that Kuros mom?
Justin Jones
Learn to take screenshots retard.
Josiah Rogers
Not Mibu, the monk area with fall leavrs everywhere way up high. Its gorgeous
William Hernandez
Senpou Temple
Gabriel Foster
It could potentially be Tomoe
Joshua Perry
Yes thank you. That shit was hands down my favorite area. Lots of bright colors and fall leaves, challenging stealth sections, and really started some of the bigger mysteries in the story for me upon discovering one of those worm filled corpses that wouldnt die.
Christian Miller
Senpou was nice as well but I still think Fountainhead beats it
Jeremiah Carter
True. The monks chanting quietly were great ambience
Nolan Gray
No, Tomoe is definitely an okami. That girl is a human, most likely a bride for the dragon than the rope giant is supposed to be transporting. I assume that's how divine heirs are made.
Jason Sanders
Okami warriors weren’t always fish people
Jordan Bell
Can someone explain the rope giant to me? Like is there some weird jap or buddhist lore behind it like the headless who rip out your ass soul? Or is it just a weird visual choice?
Also the fountainhead, when the rope giant takes you there, it looks like he just lifts you to an otherwise accessible area within the real world. Does the palace exist in the real world, or did you shift between the heavens somewhere?
Aaron Anderson
The ropes bundles are called “shimenawa”. They are often found hung up in front of shrines or wrapped around sacred stones as a way to ward off evil spirits and protect the enclosure. You can find examples in many places in Sekiro as well as in the real world.
The anus thing comes from the myth of the Kappa who would remove your “shirikodama” which was a mythical organ inside your anus that contained your soul.
As for whether the Palace is real or not, that’s up to interpretation. It could be Sekiro meditating and hallucinating or it could be a real place. After all the dragon spring must have a source and Emma has mentioned the spiral clouds above mountains where Genichiro used to train.
Aiden Lewis
Example of Shimenawa. The rope guy is obviously some legendary version of it, protecting the most worthy temple of all.
Daniel Harris
The Fountainhead Palace is also a reference to the Dragon Palace found at the bottom of the ocean in the Urashima Taro folktale
Evan Gutierrez
I'm mostly just conjecturing this: The fountainhead palace is a real place where the sakura dragon took root. The dragon made the fountain waters somehow magical (rejuvenating waters), it turns the people who keep drinking it into immortal fishman. The palace was built around the tree where the dragon took root by the initial dragon worshipers who were driven out from the rest of Ashina in ancient times. The Mibu villagers made a pack with the okami, occasionally sacrificing a girl to the dragon.
Logan Martin
He cute
Levi Diaz
Sunken Valley after beating Genichiro is the best looking level in Sekiro. Senpou Temple also looks better than Fountain Head Palace
Josiah Sullivan
It’s nice but I dunno. The Fountainhead’s music, colours, and ambience just have such a heavenly and perfect feeling to them. I think Sunken Valley and Senpou are also beautiful but more in an “earthier” way.
Christopher Garcia
Divine Child is qt tho
Jace Johnson
so what's the deal with the nobles that suck out your soul? They're stealing my youth or what?
Cameron Wright
Yes. They’re addicted to youth and everlasting life. It’s a reference to how in Urashima Taro the fisherman turns into an old guy when he opens a magic box given to him by a princess (kinda like a Pandora’s box but with relativity)
Grayson Barnes
I have a great memory of fighting the Snake Eyes mini boss on that cliff while snow particle were blowing away. There's also that set piece with the serpent and i love the background music. Favourite area in the game.
I found fountainhead pretty dull to be honest although there are some highlights. Fighting true corrupted monk on that bridge with all those bright red leaves was pretty kino and as was climbing up the mountain peak to reach the divine realm while lightning struck the ground around you.
Christopher Davis
I actually stopped when I got to that place.
Not because of difficulty or anything, just because I got kinda tired of the game.
I didnt even dislike it.
I should finish it.
Jackson Jenkins
a punishing boss that BIG would probably be too traumatizing for players
Logan Sanchez
not that late in the game. come on now we aren't toddlers.
Carson Gonzalez
>the virgin print screen
I was pretty impressed at the top of the hill, but it feeling so video game linear pretty much as soon as you make it to the bottom kind of took away from it. Still probably the best area in the game, some obnoxious enemies aside.
Alexander Hernandez
Now this is autism posting.
Asher Gonzalez
The part with the bridge and the snake is pretty spooky and also a bitch at times.
John Scott
Divine Dragon can be tough because of how RNG it is. The lightning can not only instakill you randomly, but you could also get swiped in midair by the Dragons sword and it’s extra annoying if you’re electrified because you won’t be able to recover from the hit until you touch the ground which means you’re fucked. I think From made the dragon a lot harder in v1.04 because it always frustrates me and finds a way to get cheap kills on me in subsequent playthroughs
Justin Jackson
Weird. I played through the game twice and I first tried the dragon both times, I thought it was super easy. I guess everyone else just sucks and I'm a god at videogames.
Angel Flores
sure but now imagine owl (father) grew to the size of the divine dragon and just pinned you against a fucking wall and did a firecracker sweep. I'd have nightmares for a month and never play the game again
