Hmm.
Did you ever use the sakura droplet or whatever it was to get an extra res?
Ressing during the first phase is fine, there's always a deathblow to get to the next which refills an orb and means you can still die and res again.

It's fine to come back there later. There's another path of progression to take, if you only have two beads I assume you went straight into the area you're in after getting the bell - you can go back there and keep going.
I worked on Genichiro for about an hour before getting frustrated and deciding to go back and try Lady Butterfly again. Ended up beating her in 3 tries.
Genichiro is one of the hardest From bosses I've ever fought. I will beat him eventually.
Holy shit.
NG+++?
Since I assume you need all the Bosses at least up until the end of NG++?
oh phew that scared me for a bit. But actually good thing you told me, I gotta check that out somehow so I don't make that choice later.
Ah right... I went straight into the
flashback
I only found out about that in my later tries and while I agree I wasn't hit very often, it still happened and quite often I just hadn't dragged his health enough.
Okay, I'll try to throw sharper angles like a rabbit. We'll see.
At least two people who feel like me yay, because I certainly feel stupid because I have played all previous From games, even manged the butterfly and not the bull and have nowhere left to go... :/
You'd be the ideal candidate for 'hand over the controller to a friend, can you clear this hurdle for me' at this particular spot then ;)
I got so many different replies though that I'm fairly certain there's no 'good way' to defeat this boss. It's just not representative for the game IMO, outside of firecrackers maybe.
Def the boss I'm struggling with as well. Lady butterfly seems easy by comparison
Yeeeaaah fuck you bitch you weren't hard I don't know why I keep hearing people struggling on this Lady Butterfly boss.
Wait theres a second phase? Shit.

You actually WANT to get hit by it, but only in the air. You can press R1 to throw it back before you hit the ground.
Anyone know how to get the items on top of the Buddha statue to the left of the idol in the Ashina Depths pool where Snake Eyes used to hang out? I just for the life of me can't get up there.
A lot of the bosses are there to teach you something, a kind of in game check to make sure you're progressing, depends on your definition of fun, some bosses I felt like I earn my win, others felt more like dumb luck.
Its right before the spear guy,
jump down in the water and go round till you can grapple up and then go up the walljump area then beat all the enemies in the fire area ]
I fought him so much later than that. I fought Lady Butterfly about 5 hours in and Genichiro close to 20.
I can confirm that 'matador style' worked great for me. I'd back up, let him charge, then simply parry and hit back. If he staggered I'd do a few more hits. It was like night and day from all the shit I'd tried before.
Yeah same. I killed the 2nd boss first try and I was in party chat with my friend who was like 'You just killed him first try? wtf I've been stuck for 2hours'
Haha.
Just watch and see what they do. Also, remember that you can parry EVERYTHING (aside from grabs I guess). Often if you don't know how to evade an attack (block, jump, or dodge) a perfect parry gets you out of that rockpaper scissors system.
On the way to the boss (beyond Snake Eyes), there's a point where you can grapple up to the left. Look for another path to the left after you get up there.
Easiest boss of the game for me so far only died a couple of times, using the
Jump slash
HOLY SHIT, after spending HOURS dying to Lady Butterfly yesterday - my skills (& added attack power) have gone up considerably. I just beat Blazing Bull on my 2nd try like it was nothing - that was seriously the easiest fight that's been in this game so far.
Like a third of the way through I'd say. Unless you already did some of the other areas near the castle.
I already wrote a long post detailing how I throw in the towel, the game "isn't for me" and I'm selling it on Friday night.
15 hours over two days later...
This is the OG Souls cycle. In my fucking face.
Went for x2 NG cause I wanted to see how fast I could finish it on the second playtrough. Took me around 6h 30min for one of the endings. Just finished NG+ true ending. I hope NG++ is enough to complete everything. Been playing non-stop.
Lol yeah this was my same experience too. I got to butterfly before even fighting the ogre, so after fighting her about ten times and finally winning, that whole trek up to the bull was eaaaasy
I have 3 people I can give booze to and several types of sake to give. Does it matter who I give it to? I don't know if these types of sake are limited or not.
Wondering if maybe someone could help me out with a side quest in the Abandoned Dungeon.
So the NPC down there covered in white bloody clothes - he handed me a note and it sounded like he wanted to kidnap me so I killed him. Did I goof up hard lol
Does making an enemy to 0 health fill up its posture bar even from 0 to 100? Or was it by coincidence because it fills a good amount of posture ?
So far its just lore. Lady Emma's conversations seem the most interesting so far.
Thanks! Time to grind some Sen to buy that Umbrella!
Also (hope no one has posted this yet)
I feel personally attacked.
I have tried owl for like thirty times, he just has so much of hp and can oneshot me with quick slash, second phase which i have reached only couple of times kills me every time to poison or oneshot me if I am not at full health. On the positive note fight isn't annoying like guardian ape
The combat is brillant. I can see a lot of games copying the posture, sword clashing mechanics. Feels and looks so good!
every boss is extremely fun if you play the game in something resembling the intended way (parrying more than none, going for posture kills when possible)
I've gotten him to phase 3 once and got him down to about half health through sheer luck before he owned me. I hate being at work. Just wanna slice n dice samurai boys.
Still at it? The strikes are a bit weird, concentrate on the blade instead of the body's movements to parry. His jump attack is super useless if you sidestep right. The sweep is also kinda predictable. Since the umbrella takes care of the most obnoxious thing about the boss I found the second phase to be easier than the first tbh. It's just getting there that is annoying. But man, if you hate it so much, you won't like what comes next tbh lol.
God I am absolutely shit at fighting bosses in this game. I play waaayyy too hyper aggressively and get my teeth kicked in repeatedly, I'm trying to parry blows but it seems like I'm always a nano-second off and either just get a regular guard or get stumbled by a heavy attack.
Haven't conquered Genichiro yet, but the game having opened up after getting to the Castle has made it more fun. It's also cooled it on the absolute bullshit unbalanced mini-boss encounters, which having a cursory look at guides, I was butting my head against the games hardest ones way too soon before getting necessary attack upgrades.
The start of this game seems like it needed a lot more tweaking to construct a difficulty curve and not a hexagon of 50 metre walls surrounding you.
