it fucking incredible. i usually hate the shinobi ninja samurai bullshit in games, but i am down with this shit. its hard. hard as fuck. but so satisfying.
A couple of questions
1. How do you loot bodies?! I swear its square but the game doesn't seem to allow it? is it something to do with being resurrected?
2. Is the Pause menu a 'real' pause menu? or the same old souls ones
also once you die can you retrieve your lost items? or is that it?

Hold Square down and you should loot the surrounding area
Yes, proper pause menu. Pauses everything.
You can train that specific move with the NPC at the hub btw. It's not the art, he's jumping over the attack and then kicking off with another jump which inflicted posture damage and put him into a deathblow state.
Both were on my ass constantly while I was trying to get rid of the adds. Got him now, but I sincerely hope this isn't gonna be the standard.
the game is fundamentally really fun but the enemy placement is a bit bad taking in consideration the enemies by themselves are already pretty hard (not the normal ones but minibosses). Add to that the punishment for dying is both on money and on levels makes the game a bit frustating.
Still, the combat, movement, animations and sound is so good it is a bit easier to forgive but it gets quite frustrating from time to time.

OK, I didn't even realise you could hold down circle and run. Doing that and not locking onto enemies actually helps quite a bit so that's could.
Feels a bit cheap doing it but whatever it takes lol.

I have a question about remapping controls:
So I think I want to remap. I like some elements of the controls but I feel like I could find something better for me. The problem is I'm so early that I don't know the ways I'll use the other buttons yet, and I don't want to commit a new control scheme to muscle memory that ends up being a bad idea after I get some new abilities.
I also have two paddles because I bought an attachment, so I have those to double up with two other buttons. Now the thing about the paddles is, they facilitate more right stick control because you can put face buttons on the paddles, but holding the controller that way means R2+L2 are your index fingers natural resting point and R1+L1 are kind of a pain to reach.
In Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3 I liked putting run/evade on one of them and attack on the other. That way I could move the camera when I run and run more comfortably while using other buttons. I should do that again here I think, but I don't know if I should put jump on the other or attack or grapple (when I get it) and I don't know what else I switch up. I feel so lost in that regard.
Any ideas?

I haven't spent any yet because I'm worried I'll cure someone, not be able to figure out what they want, then they just get diseased again. So I'm holding off until either the end of the game or I just start reading guides or something. I'm not really willing to test it out myself since healing them seems to be a finite resource
Yeah I think what makes it work for me is how unrelentingly brutal the combat is. Extremely fast and visceral, and playing well looks and feels cool.
Lol!!! I'm sorry. That's the equivalent of losing loads of souls . At least you'll earn it back eventually.
You've missed two vendors.
One is behind the sculptor idol that's at Ogre, and the other should now be in the area up the large staircase opposite from the horse boss Idol.
I'm actually really curious. I missed this area in the game and have no idea where it even is despite being deep into numerous other areas. What's the reward if not just beads? I'm betting it's a tool I missed.
Two things, try to get the grapple hook attack skill and get buy the firecracker tool from the vendor, it works great on this boss.
Buy the Firecracker Prosthetic from a vendor and use it, it'll scare the horse allowing a lot of free hits
Let's just say your not beating that guy without the proper items.
Need some early help regarding a boss.
So the boss in the cave, do I come back to it later? I can't seem to do any damage to it.[/SPOILER
You can bounce and come back when you're stronger. I strongly suggest you do.
Amazing game but holy crap I'm struggling lol
Stuck between a rock and a hard place

Got stuck on the Shinobe Hunter Enshin. Found a path I thought would avoid him which led me the drunkard. So now I'm back at the hunter. Any tips? I can backstab him once, but I just cannot get the timing down on the Miriki counter. I'm guessing that's the key for him, since it really melts away his posture.
Also, is Supress Presence a worthwhile upgrade?

the game is trying to teach you something. this is where you learn it. don't focus on what you think the game is doing wrong, focus on what does and doesn't work. raging because you're getting beat is not going to help you understand the fight
you've missed them. Check my earlier post on where to find them.
I'm pretty sure I found and fought the second version of that boss. But I somehow missed that original one. What did you get for beating it? I know what to use against it if it's, what I'm assuming, is the same enemy type.
Keep at it. Tips:
- Stay on top of her, it should be 2-3 slashes that she'll block and then she'll deflect. After she deflects, get ready to block a kick. If you deflect the kick, repeat your slashes and she'll kick again. If you deflect this second kick, she often goes into her sweep right after, so jump on top of her when it comes out.
- best openings to reduce her health are avoiding her jumping grab (or knocking her out of it with a shuriken), after her falling heel kick, and when she tries to jump away from you after you pressure her too much.
- for her second phase, she always shows up on the same side of the room. You can attack her while she's standing up and you'll prevent her from summoning illusions for a while

when did you fight him?
i just tried him post-genichiro, and his patterns seemed straightforward enough but the terror through deflect was pretty rough and made me feel like i'm supposed to have something that i don't yet. i've gotten a bunch of pacifying agent since then, not sure i had any before—is that all i need?
I understand the fight. It is just cheap mechanics. Having tracking flying grab attacks IS cheap and dump fucking game mechanics especially when they take 90% of the HP.
I'm so old it wasn't until I read the 'playing Sekiro upside-down' thread that I remembered I could buy a physical copy (which can partially mitigate any risk I bounce off the game as I can trade it in)
I've been indoctrinated into digital
