Every game has it flaws. For example, what I hate the most about Sekiro is that their isnt enough DLC content and that we will never get a Sekiro 2. What the actual fuck is wrong with FromSoftWare?

Killed him yesterday morning, the annoying part is when I try to do mikiri counter on his kick yet for some reason sekiro keep getting stuck in some dodge animation even though I removed my thumb from joystick completely.

That aside, my favourite part was blasting full force of okinawa flame at his face. It was really fun.

So I don't wanna cheese him and decided to git gud. Took a mild stimulant last night and spent the hours just going at him, die, repeat.

After an hour or something I was able to finish his first phase WITHOUT using any resurrection and with 6 health flasks to spare.

I learnt the trick in phase one is to stay close to his feet/behind him constantly applying pressure.

So please tell me why I can barely touch him in phase 2?

What was your strategy with him there coz lawd have mercy... 2 resurrection and 6 flasks and I still can't get him there.

Plus he made me use my Jizo Statues 😢

So I did some exploring in the Hirara Estate and came across this fella. I feel like I’ve come hear to early since this is my first boss since after the Shinobi Hunter.

I’ve got the flame prosthetic but I’m wondering if it’s time to take him out

Edit: I just beat him!!

Took out his minions one by one then death blowed him THEN I spoke with the samurai dude who pretty much had him distracted. Used the flame with oil and took most of his health. Then a few cheeky hits and it was over

Help Should I get this game if I enjoyed Bloodborne?

13 Upvotes

bloodborne has been the only fromsoft game ive actually enjoyed. dark souls is way too sluggish and elden ring is too empty and sparse. i know this game is vastly different in terms of gameplay but i think i enjoy a more fast paced combat system that dark souls/elden ring cant provide

I can't believe I did it first try... Inner Isshin took like 15 minutes alone, this challenge was by far the most unfair, ridiculous, and frustrating thing I have ever done in this game, and my friends, I'm really glad I did it. Don't try this at home kids...

Discussion Thoughts about Duo Guardian Ape

7 Upvotes

Beat the game an year ago with Gauntlets and thought of doing a NG+ now aiming for the Shura ending. I just reached the Duo Guardian Apes and had some thoughts regarding this boss encounter.

The design decisions regarding this boss really puzzle me. So the entrance is guarded by Snake Eyes Shirafuji and the boss is directly encountered after this fight. Now if you used some resources to fight Snake Eyes, its important to track back and rest at an idol before this fight lest you lose sen and experience in case you die. For a new player, it’s difficult to realise that.

The first phase of the boss fight is not difficult for an experienced player and can be finished without using any emblem or consumable. The second phase however where the brown ape appears is interesting. Last time I played I spammed the fireworks constantly and killed the white ape quickly first before 1v1 the brown one. It took me a few tries but it was doable. This time however I decided not to use any emblem thus no prosthetic items. I use Sakura dance for the first few tries but couldn’t get the job done. Now after dying a couple of times I realised that I have no emblems left because I used them all up and all my sen is gone as well. I think you lose 50% sen every death and by 3-4th attempt everything is gone. I do not wish to use the coin purses yet but that got me thinking that for a first time player even coin purses are finite because you need to use sen for upgrades and consumables.

It just doesn't feel like good game design where the game becomes harder the more you die. I remember in my first playthrough fighting Lady Butterfly and using up all my stock of snap seeds but still being unable to kill her. Ultimately I learnt to just run around the arena dodging the kunais, alleviating the need for seeds. This feels like a similar situation. Now I am not a fan of the game being made easier for you if you are dying a lot but its another thing to make it more difficult locking you out of your skills unless you go farm respawned enemies and come back to have another go at the boss.

I don’t think its a very easy boss and that everyone here just killed the two apes on their first few tries without depleting their emblems. How did you guys deal the apes without using any prosthetic items?

Discussion Snake eyes Shirahagi destroyed my confidence. Lol. Even Genichiro didn't make me feel this way. After geni, I was cruising. Beating every boss in around 3 tries at max. But this lady kicked my ass so hard. Only after an hour I realised what the pool can do to her , and I let her rot. I have no shame Spoiler

I know we can use certain prosthetics to make the fight easier but I was like, how hard can this be. Then I realised there must be a reason why there are so many grapple points in the area. It's so you can move around faster and rot her in the pool. It's the first boss in the game who I've cheesed like this. But somehow i do not feel any shame 😂 she was a badass. Even in her dying breath.

Hi, just killed the Great Serpent, and I landed in the other side of the broken bridge. The thing is... I slipped T. T for like 40 minutes or so I tried to jump to the tree branch next to it, but there's nothing left to climb to. So, is that other side of the bridge still reachable? 😭😭😭

After multiple playthroughs, I finally feel like I’ve reached the endgame of Sekiro, completed all four endings, unlocked the Shura outfit, and beaten all three Inner bosses.

The funniest part? Genichiro had literally never killed me before (except when I started the game till ng+2), but he somehow killed me in the Severance Gauntlet. I felt more ashamed about that than dying to the Inner bosses.

What an incredible game.
