Parry him, find openings to attack (keep in mind that the goal isn;t to drain his health, but rather just deal enough damage to stop his posture regen), and Mikiri counter his thrusts.

Don't be discouraged. I was stuck on her for maybe two hours and I thought the same thing but it felt amazing to finally beat her. Not everyone is stomping through the game. You die really fast in this game so sometimes it can be hard to tell wtf even happened. The fight isn't AS crazy as it seems, you'll get there!! And you definitely don't need to do it now. You're playing on hard mode if you try to beat her this early really. There's other easier things for you to kill elsewhere.
Mikiri counter ability is your friend, here - note you have to purchase this ability with skill points (tap circle without moving when he does a thrust attack; that was the only "red kanji" attack that I saw from him when I fought him).
You can also easily stealth him to take one bar off if you clear out the surrounding enemies, first.
I can't stop thinking about this game. Only From Soft games and a few others do this to me. It's so good
Nothing personal but putting spoilery area and boss names as a spoiler name is not ideal. I now know several things I would've rather found on my own.
Thanks for the replies. Really having trouble deciding whether to open my copy or return it though. Ugh, I wish I had more than like 3 days of break between terms at my college, so I could give this a shot without feeling like I might be wasting my time.
Don't sweat it man. She felt overwhelming to me at first too. It just takes training yourself how to read her. She only has a handful of basic patterns.
Best thing you can do is just hold down the block button and watch her patterns. You can usually get a quick hit in easily right after she finishes a combo/attack.
I still haven't beaten her yet (came within 2-3 hits about 5 times in a row yesterday!), but that was after dying to her like 30 times. And I can feel myself getting better even while I had the same fear that it was too overwhelming at first. In short, stick with it, hold down the block button and dodge the unblockables and you'll find it more manageable than you first think.
Did you dodge around him or under him? Every time I tried going under it seemed like I ran into an invisible wall.
I did the same thing. Returned after a little while and completely wrecked her.
She barely got any breaks to create illusions.
Some of the mechanics are legitimately broken... up on my d-pad should not cause me to forward step, and yet...
Dive thing? You mean when it slithers on the ground? Just parry it? No need for running.
These following hits really need to go from these games. It is honeatly kinda cheap. Im fighting against the eyeless dude in the middle of the snow pit and her bullets actually follow you after she shoots them. It is pretty shitty design. The only rrason she was able to kill me two times was that.
Agreed.
Uhhh, it definitely DOES work on spears. I used it plenty against the Shinobi Hunter?
DF's PC analysis of this game has made an easy decision to skip the console versions and invest in a beefy gaming PC to play it instead! The game looks and sounds totally worth it. I'm excited :)
Thanks I actually found it.
You actually have to find the old grave idol somewhere near Ashina Castle and go all the way back from there.
Hehe and if you reach the start of the outskirts there is a surprise xD
Nah Celeste is still harder for me, the things I have to do perfectly in that game make me too nervous to execute properly after like the third world lol
They said doesn't just work on spears. As in, it works on other things too.
Just cheese her with Nightjar Slash. Don't feel bad about it either, I didn't lol. But be sure to have shurikens ready to hit her when she moves away, and phase 2 you need to interrupt her before the butterfly attacks go off.
Yep
Assuming you found Anayama who's on the ground before the Ogre area, there's another guy high up in the area before, near the old woman and her son. You'll see him in the Gyoubu area after the fight, too.
Yeah this has been a real pain my ass. Only real issue with the controls in the game, but it can really screw you over.
Afaik you cannot do two stealth attacks. It will restore the deathblows if you lose the aggro. At least that happened to me against that one general.
Explore the area in front of the house..look at the far walls and eventually you'll see a branch you can climb up (and a returning mini-boss). That leads to the right path.
Dragonrot so far is irrelevant to point that it feels like a weird vestigial tail of a mechanic.
Otherwise fantastic game though. It's outpacing Bloodborne as my favorite Fromsoft game of this generation.

opposite of the house on the other side into the far left there is marker to climb onto.
That was caught me up too, had to look it up. You have to go to the area right before the house and go to a raised spot on the left side of the map and look for a grapple point off in the mist and jump and grapple over in order to get to the roof of the house.
Yeah it's crazy. This and the final boss are going to have me occupied for a while.
You need to get to the roof.
Jump in through the ceiling and aerial deathblow him and he'll go down in like six hits.
If Dragonrot was more important, you'd have myriads of people crying about it like this thread had before knowing how it worked. I'm sure Miyazaki just didn't want the headache of having to take all the absurd criticism and made it that way.
question
Where does the little guy go after you possess the one by the kite and make him to the rope thing?
Go up and grapple onto the kite. You'll find him as you progress through the area on the other side of the valley.
Indeed. It's crazy that I've seen people trashing the game and/or going out of their way to backup saves to avoid what amounts to a very slight inconvenience in the game. I'm at the end now and I had to cure dragonrot maybe twice during my playthrough in order to do sidequests. It's almost not even there.
You can parry everything but the sweep attack. If you have Mikiri counter you can dodge INTO his unblockable thrust attack. It's pretty easy to get Mikiri at this point in the game btw. His moves are just difficult to read since they have similar start up animations - though they are subtly different.
Rebound Use Item to Select, feels a lot better. On a 360 pad at least I was constantly accidently hitting the pad so it thought I was hitting Right as well so I'd be changing items and using them. Not so good when it's the ceremonial tanto.
It depends on
On the ending your going for. But for most yes a bit more than 50%
I love the way the prosthetics work into boss fights. Somewhere in that upgrade tree is usually something that will help against some of the tougher bosses. My personal favorite example, because it worked so well for me, is (later game miniboss spoiler) the malcontent finger whistle on O'Rin of the Water. It stuns her really well.
I am looking forward to replaying the game and discovering even more cool stuff.
