Is there any details on how Dragonrot works yet? I got two sick dudes and am currently debating on using the one tear I have or not. Does anyone die after so long? Or is it just side quests that get impacted?
I held the run button the whole time and kept trying to get to its side and backed out frequently.
Lock on, sprint around him constantly and get hits in when you can. Firecracker prosthetic will also net you some free hits on him. I beat him 3rd try, no damage this way.
Apparently any death counts towards it, so resurrection is pretty much always preferable.. I personally waited until I got like 5 Essences before using a tear
1. probably not
2. no
3. yes
there is basically no point to healing people, imo, unless you KNOW what you have to do for a quest and you know when you need people to be healthy for it

My heart is pounding during and after every tough fight. I love it.
That's what I was wondering. Thanks, looks like I'll hold onto it for now. Now just to see how to NOT get the bad ending with less gameplay parts.
Area I just entered is so insanely reminiscent of Demon's Souls. Soooo good.
Jump into it as it charges you and slash. Get big damage with the firecracker.
Bloodborne took twenty hours for me to fall in love with it, but I've played Sekiro all day and I don't feel like I've made any progress. I'm like, three quarters through two areas and I've died 70 times on both (mini?) bosses. I've got no desire to turn the console back on.
Loving this game, but I'm having enough trouble with bad guys fucking me. I don't need the camera fuckin' me too. Dodging around quickly + close to walled in areas = frantic death.
Lady Butterfly is really no big thing. At this point the hardest enemy for me i've fought was the well ninja.
For anyone that is having a hard time once you come across a vendor selling prayer beads and gourd seeds prioritize getting them do a few farming circles and get used to the mechanics and eventually you will not only gain skill but extra health and heals for it.

I thought that was bit of an bullshit fight because afaik you can't parry second fast sweep, so you are kind of supposed to lose health in this fight.
Well, thank for the help. By skipping that general I reached the horse boss and surprisingly enough beat him on the third try.
I had this experience as well but it actually becomes much more manageable after you get past the first boss or two. Bosses drop attack upgrades, healing items heal more and you have more of them, and you'll have some health/posture upgrades too, plus skills. It also helps that by then you'll have a better handle on the combat system.
You can parry it.
He takes massive posture damage too. Block it twice and you get a killing blow.
Super easy.
Get to the other side of the arena, there's another idol to rest at, and you'll be able to sneak behind and get a free deathblow.
Thanks!
Got him, a little bit of cheese, a little bit of every fucking pyro I had.
I ran around a bit and met Snake Eyes Whatshisname. Time to for bed. Another wall!
So I just beat G.A. absolutely awesome fight to learn. This game is something else. I still have like 2-3 different ways to still go..and i'm only half way throug? What is this game.
yeah they're tough, I did manage to kill one, about to try to get the other one. Learn how to counter both their danger attacks, the sweep especially.
First fight vs the "nameless king of Sekiro", 13 minutes long lmao. (DofH)

- Had enough practice with phase 1, that I got to 2 using no heals/revives.
- Things went immediately south in phase 2, which id seen very little of.
- Made it to phase 3 with 1 healing item left, never even see it before!
- Pulled through by the fuckin skin of my teeth, was terrifying.
I mean how far are you in? The first 1/4 is like some bayonetta 2 take on souls, non stop action to the top of the castle. After that you start exploring very large areas tenchu style, atmosphere is excellent.
If you can't hit parry the moment his katana flashes then yeah, you're dealing with a monumental amount of lag in your setup.
Snake Eyes is a jerk. I've encountered (her? the voice is hard to make out, but it's softer than most enemies) in two different locations so far and both times...woof.
No. Souls is much easier cause you can overcome a challenge through many different ways, while in Sekiro you are basically forced to parry.
If you have bad reflexes you suck at Sekiro, there's no way around it. Souls gives you many ways to fight, you can use fast/slow weapons, ranged, shield, etc. Sekiro is you trying to parry all day long.
And honestly beating a boss in Sekiro feels more like "fucking finally I got lucky with those counterattacks" than "yeah I finally got this figured out".
Figured I would ask once more. Still hasn't been explained.
Stay in his face all the time and keep hitting once or twice to bait his melee attacks - and parry all of those, he doesn't have much poise.
There are only two attacks to look out, the swing from your right side, which is faster but has an easy window, and a slower one from your left.
If you muss the latter, he'll follow up with a kick which you can parry and a gun shot, which you will either need to dodge or parry, but thats mostly it. His grab can be evaded last minute with a dodge to the back. [\SPOILER]

it's not possible, yeah. his red marks are also undodgeable. I think I have to get it on pc or stop playing
also not sure how to punish, because if I guess and start a parry before his flash comes out, he always steps back before I can punish. so even if I parry every attack, he ends up breaking my posture.
Dunno the first one. The second one indicates you can resurrect after dying. When you die you can resurrect once per respawn, more if you kill enough enemies after resurrecting yourself.
I just beat..
The purple guy in the Hirata Estate and I don't think I have felt happier. Had so many headaches.
Yeah, the Snake Eyes are female. They're descendants of ancient warrior women.
I mean are you saying the game simply can't be beat on base PS4?
Seems easily disproven.
how hard is this guy compared to other game bosses? not gonna watch the video
Firecrackers, don't lock on, run around and hit it's back legs. It will take a little bit but that's the strat I used.
I beat the Elite on base PS4, but I will say it is VERY hard to get the timing down for him. If you aren't literally perfect, the frame pacing can fuck you over.
