I think I'm going to get filtered bros, I can't beat this guy for the life of me
His multi hit attack always kills me and I can't get openings to deal dmg to him and all his other attacks are too fast to react to
All other bosses were easy and fair but this is just too much

beat it pussy
Genichiro is the git gud boss
therefore
you must
git gud
Did you go to Senpou Temple/Ashina Reservoir and first? The upgrades from there can help a lot.
Beat him last night you just got to stay close and keep hitting him. I also did the Temple before I got to him (didn't know that was supposed to be til later) so you can always go explore around if you want something else to do.
The Samurai in the room before him was harder, so you can do this.
I don't understand this new combat mechanic, I try attacking him but I only deal a little bit of dmg to him, and then he hits me for 50% of my hp
Can I make my attack power go up with something or what?
Did I miss something?
Boss battles are never about depleting their health bar, lower hp just means they recover posture slower.
As you chip away at their health and parry their shit it becomes easier to posture break them as each phase of the fight goes on
What new combat mechanic?
You realize all enemies have a stamina meter, right?
you're going to need to beat his ass with your eyes closed if you want to have a chance of beating the game. Be aggressive
His attacks are too fast I can't dodge them and punish him properly
>dodge
what the fuck are you doing
parry you fucking retard
Parry everything. It's a rhythm game. Learn the pattern of his attacks. Get in swipes while you can to lower his health so his posture recovers more slowly and eventually you can stagger him.
He is absolutely the hardest boss you have faced up until that point but you've got a save point right in front of him and he basically teaches you how to play the game right.
>It's a rhythm game.
So are all Souls games, they’re just a slow as fuck jam.
Get funky, block his attacks like you're playing a rhythm game.
There's no stamina in sekiro
whatever the fuck its called, stagger meter or whatever, it's functionally the same as poise or stamina.
Come Sekiro, hesitation is gay!
>stop hesistating
>he kills me anyway
remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
some attacks if dodged leave the enemy wide open instead of triggering a follow up attack
for genichiro, this happens everytime with his jumping downward slash, if you parry, he does a perilous attack most of the time which can be hard to counter since for some fucking reason from decided it's fair to have a slow ass recovery on PARRIED attacks, if you dodge, he does nothing and just stands there like a retard
false. beat like half the bosses by depleting their lifebar.
reminder that dsp beat this guy and the final boss in like three tries.
these guys are wrong, you should dodge bosses. Not Genichiro though, just parry him and keep attacking
almost every boss is best fought by being aggressive and parry dueling.
Exceptions include DoH and the ogres.
we don't give a fucking about a literal who eceleb
dodging is actually op if done right because fromsoftware can't program AI for shit
Just beat Owl Father bros.
Took me 7 attempts after great shinobi Owl made me sweat for 20+.
Man he is my favorite boss. The stage is so kino, no wonder they reuse it for two more fights. I remember being in your position OP. I had died probably about 30+ times to ol Genichiro. Then one night I was coming up on an acid trip and decided to try it. Right on the peak I was doing this fight again and my hands were fucking shaking and sweating but I had become so hyper focused on the game, it became like rhythm. Block block parry mikiri block block jump etc. It was trancelike. Then the last stage came and I had no idea what the fuck to do during his lighting attacks, I was flailing wildly. Luckily a jizo statue saved me and I beat the guy by the skin of my teeth. From that moment on the game "clicked" for me, I went back and beat the spear guy first try, the game stopped being so difficult. Became my favorite fromsoft game that night. You either learn the mechanics and the ebb and flow of the game at this point or you'll keep failing, Genichiro is the boss that forces you to understand the game. Now almost a year later I dont even find him that hard.
Parrying and then countering his sweep or thrust is much more rewarding since it deals much more posture dmg.
But hitting him might also be good because loss of health equals less posture regen
this also applies to Sekiro
most bosses can't touch you if you use hit and run tactics. seems like most of the people that complain about dying over and over to a boss took the "no dodging" advice too seriously.
dodging is safer but a fuck of a lot slower
Owl father is such an amazing fight. Pity you have to basically look up a guide how to do it. It's easily top 3 fights in the whole game beneath isshin and genichi
Dude getting to Owl father is like discovering Ash lake blind.
It's almost impossible
That's no fun. Running around and whittling away at his health can take a lot of time. Fight takes less than 3 minutes if you can perfect block everything
the fight itself is slower, but it takes longer to die many times doing the fight "the right way".
>Fight takes less than 3 minutes if you can perfect block everything
but developing the muscle memory to do it takes a lot more
had a lot of fun outsmarting the shitty ai. my reflexes and sense of timing are shit so it's not like I had an option anyway.
Mash block when attacked.
Don't stop attacking otherwise.
A lot of Souls pussies get filtered by Chadkiro for not being aggressive enough and trying to fight bosses by circling and dodging and attacking only during recovery.
These pussies don't understand that Chadkiro doesn't have a stamina bar, you must become a human blender, don't let the fuckers breathe, you have a response in your arsenal for every single reaction they can have to your relentless aggression, this is a constant back-and-forth dance of parries and counters, not some faggy circling game from afar.
Are you the guy who gave up on the final boss?
>Genichiro has a 28% completion rate on Xbox
probably beat him faster than you, bucko.
>dodge through attack
>get one strong attack off
It's the most efficient way to beat your dad
*fweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
If the guy from Prepare to Try/RKG could beat this guy, a retarded user like you can.
>dodging ever
Sekiro's dodge is a trap, don't fucking use it and there, game is easy again.
Dodge is actually a viable move if you get the timing right, for the right attacks. It's got i-frames at the very start.
Yeah and you spent 20 minutes on them instead of 5 minutes. Your point?
Unlocked dodging is fun as fuck.
Getting good at that and deflecting turns Demon of Hatred into a fun boss.
>reflexes and muscle memory suck dick
Damn does that limit the amount of vidya you can enjoy, terrified of when this will happen to me.
Dodging has its uses, but for Souls veterans who are used to respond to everything with dodging, yeah it's pretty much a trap. Enemies in Sekiro have a shitload more tracking than in any Souls game, and they have shittons of chaser attacks that will catch you when you're trying to back away. Sekiro doesn't want you to back away, it wants you to stay close and accurately respond to every enemy move with the proper counter, be it parry (most common), mikiri (semi common), jump (semi rare) or dodge (rarest).
weeks from now you'll be calling him a jobber like everybody else on here that absolutely had their asses handed to them lol.
Mibu village is the only good level in this game
Genichiro literally becomes a routine minor annoyance to dispose of at the beginning of the Sword Saint fight.
if a murderer came into your house, put a gun to your head and said "you must beat any boss or miniboss from sekiro (except mist noble) without taking damage or I will shoot" which boss would you pick?
and OP doesn't know that yet, is my point.
It's pretty crazy how he goes from a super hard endgame tier boss to someone you kill in like 20 seconds at most.
He's a fucking tutorial boss, dude. He only exists to teach you the lightning counter.
Snake eyes Shirahagi, cause I can just cheese her with the poison pool
Okami Leader Shizu lol
get dabbed on murderer
Sakura Bull
>one shots you with lightning
>can't lightning counter
Creepy fucker
why would the okami make this creature?
i literally one shot geniricho lol. i have no idea why anyone thinks he's hard. the fucking purple samurai guy guarding the ravel idol is 10x harder and that's a regular mob.
i also 3 shot guardian ape so maybe im just better then 95% of players cause everyone talks about how they're stuck on that monkey for a day
After beating him you will understand a lot of mechanics and everything will start to make sense to you. Also when attacks with lighting just jump and press R1 a lot of times before landing, you will end up deflecting his lighting
Just deflect the lightning yah damn fag.
>stuck on monkey
it's much worse than that arch.b4k.co
Use the spear on his neck in the second phase dude
throw firecrackers at him, he gets spooked
It's probably a side effect of the water.
Same thing with the okamis, nobles and animals living there, they all look extremely fish like (and the lizards turn from green to pure white)
TFW when nigger Afro Senju defeated Isshin at his second try and defeated his second and third phase in one try. Meanwhile I got fucked 39 times
>all the sexy women warriors either became fish people or are wrapped in bandages
fuck this game
he was stuck on am easy mini-boss?? i honestly don't get it. it might have to do with the fact that most people don't autistcally look every single place to get all the items like I do (meaning gourd seed and prayer beads). I am always the absolute max i can be before any boss fight and I just know that
you want to feel even fucking worse?
DSP beat him in 5 fucking tries
If you play all the Soulsgames without long breaks in between them, they all seem easier than what online people say.
this is why we need a dlc prequel with Isshin
Final boss is Tomoe
so happy sekiro doesn't pander to coomers
not all
I died to his first 2 phases twice and then beat his edgelord mode the first time I saw it
Me too, I died probably 50+ times to him.
I think I'll do everything else until I can't progress and come back to him
Thats how you beat Lady Butterfly though.
right this way to the VIP section, sir.
>t. scrub who takes half an hour to beat her when it should take one minute
you beat lady butterfly by bullying the fuck out of her with shurikens
if you want a good laugh at someone plaiyng this game watch forsens playthrough
yeah when shes in the air. but when shes on thr ground, dodging works well on her, and on purple samurai.
>one billion zombies you can't kill permanently
eh at least it has good aesthetics
swear, that's some gay shit. thought the Mortal Blade would be of use in Mibu, but nope, they just keep coming back, the fuckers.
FUCK OFFFF, NO WAY
>check out how he did against Isshin
>Literally just kites him for 20 whole minutes without ever deflecting
i didnt like the grappling hook. feel like they got lazy with level design because of it
General Tenzen Yamauchi
>Checks Tyrone magnus gameplay
>He almost never deflects
>He tanks and receives every attack
>SpamAxe.exe
>Wins everytime
fuck your shit wife
As expected of a nigger
Mist Noble
You just have to learn his movesets and patterns and also not be afraid in your abilities. Deflection is key and you can do it. You don’t have to be a master.
>except mist noble
Now you can dilate in peace.
genichiro was hard until I figured out how easy it is to interrupt him
it's like the naginata guys in the straw uniform. lots of spinning around and slashing but if you deliberately wait 1 second, swing, wait one second, swing again, you will randomly interrupt them (you need to parry when they attack as well ofc)
also sabimaru helps get that first chunk of health down but you really don't even need it
Since she taught Genichiro didn't they just make up afterwards anyway
instead of dodging it's better to sprint or jump
you might get hit still but it will only be one hit and you have the opportunity to get enough distance for a quicky sippy
dodge doesn't move you far enough away in most cases and it seems to have very bad iframes compared to souls rolls
I doubt they hated each others, Isshin mentions how beautiful Tomoe was, so it's more likely that he just wanted to fight her, not as an enemy but as an equal.
She did manage to give him a scar tho
>first actual boss I went against
>spent three hours against her
>four elixers, already used the one snapweed illusion break thing, no emblems
>then it clicked
She was the one who showed me how good and fun deflecting is and that you can beat any boss with just your sword.
I don’t get why they didn’t enable you to steer it while locked on. Unlocked it’s my favorite dodge they’ve done so far, even above how neatly balanced it was in Bloodborne.
Ds3 roll was awful
You can kill them permanently. There are just a lot of them. If you spend enough time Mibu will stay empty.
Based
Just stop panicking and input deliberately instead of mashing: The game
>bro just stop rolling
