I had to tap out when it first came out because i was so fucking bad at it. But it's been on the back of my mind every day since. Now that i have my PS5 i downloaded it and am excited to come in with a fresh mind, fresh controller, fresh year.
I've noticed it's always the people who "cheese it" who are quick to point out that there's no shame in it, even before someone accuses them of it.
Gotta shut that shit down post haste šI've noticed it's always the people who "cheese it" who are quick to point out that there's no shame in it, even before someone accuses them of it.
I'm not sure I've even seen someone who doesn't use such tactics use the word shameful to describe them.
Good that you eventually found the fun for you.
Be glad, the last boss is the absolute best boss of the game for me and maybe even the best From Soft boss ever.
Even easy encounters feel greatI love the aggressive play style in Sekiro, where every move can either be an attack, parry, or counter that damages enemy posture. Makes most of the encounters feel really intense and exciting.
Sekiro is not Souls. Sekiro has well placed checkpoints, doesn't ask you to repeat large sections for no reason and doesnt have dick move gotcha moments.
Tbh early game those mini-bosses with tons of enemies surrounding them are incredibly annoying especially since you're still learning all the intricacies of the gameSekiro is not Souls.

That's cheating the game, and also yourself

For real though it's a fun fight and I don't get the hate (pun intended) that it gets

Oh lol, I thought "kiss my ass" meant you beat them, was about to congratulate you... xDIt doesn't seem like that bad of a fight
I only tried it twice
I'm just intimidated bc I have no idea what to do and 3 health bar fights disgust me (also why I'm SO excited for the final boss)
Oh I willOh lol, I thought "kiss my ass" meant you beat them, was about to congratulate you... xD
DoH's attack patterns can be very intimidating, yeah. Even knowing them really well, I still often mess up and die. It's also a fairly long fight, probably the longest, so it's daunting. If you're interested in some tips about his moves, check out this threadmarked post from the OT, it can be really helpful.
lolOh I will
after I grind excessively only to shave off about 10 seconds of the fight
lol
How about grinding for money to buy tons of divine confetti instead? I'm reasonably sure the buff to your power is going to be stronger than the time spent on gaining a single attack point. Divine confetti boosts your attack power on regular enemies, and makes fights go down faster. It also stacks with Ako's Sugar/Spiritfall.
Don't give me hopeDemon of Hatred isn't too bad, just have to play it like a Souls boss rather than a Sekiro boss.
Keep your distance, dodge attacks, and get 1-2 quick hits in when he leaves himself open before backing away again.
Owl 2 is the one I died against the most, easy 50+ deaths. Once I beat him I actually didn't find the final boss as bad. I'm actually puzzled how I see so many people here found him to be an impossible wall preventing them from finishing the game. He doesn't do anything Genichiro and Owl don't do, you just parry his posture gauge and then deathblow him, then in phase 3do the lightning reversal just like in the Genichiro fight, which straight up kills him in 2-3 hits making it the quickest phase.
Yeah, the game isn't super clear on that, but while it's primarily used against apparition types, it was confirmed by Reddit and various Wikis that it also does a moderate damage boost against regular enemies too...... I already have like 40 Divine Confettis saved up :p
They help in general too? I feel stupid for missing that. I thought they only helped for apparition type enemies
Phase 1 is just a short rematch fight so I didn't really count that. The final boss itself is 3 phases.Don't give me hope
U also CONVENIENTLY left out your experience with Phase 4 which I'm sure is brutal
"Sekiro EASY CHEESE method:
WtfI started Sekiro on Friday, currently on last Fountainhead palace, pretty sure i'm close to the end.
Beating Genichiro on first try thanks to perfect deflects was when i realized this game was really clicking with me.
Screw the Guardian Ape though. I didn't die that many times (to him or to anyone, really) but i hated his second phase. Then i did the twin ape fight on first try, though i went into it super scared.
It's a great game.
Shield prosthetic really helped me with DoHatred and last final boss. I finished them 1 week ago and while my first impression was wtf were they thinking with this, it's doable, I just had a few problems with some kanji attacks that I ended up shielding.Wtf
I feel like people are a lot faster than me at this game
I'm baffled by how many people complain that it's "short" for one
I have 63 hours now
I'll be stuck on these last 3 bosses for a while
