I don't know what I did but the NPC started attacking the drunkard after I got him close enough

Wait so you mean if you are a couple points away from getting a skill point then you get enough points and to get it and die you keep the point?
Finally beat the Ogre
Use your items! They're all useful, especially attack+ sugar and ash. Ash gives you a lot of openings against the ogre, even interrupt perilous attacks

i only meant that i think the game plays pretty differently. There's some FROM staples there for sure, the difficulty for example. But your rolls/dodges won't help you here. There's a different mind set to engaging with enemies in this game. And to be fair, they do a pretty good job tutorializing what to expect in this game.
100 in the little, 500 in the bigger. I haven't popped the even bigger one yet but I'm assuming 1000. If you're carrying a lot of money you can buy those from the vendor but you're losing just a little bit each time you do. However, that might be better for you to lose 10% in safe keepings as an item than 50% of your earnings from death
Really unsure about the restocking of things.
Yes. You only lose progress on the bar, not earned skill points
How useful is the slide? In the trailer, he dodges an arrow but it seems like a pretty situational move
Mid-air Deflection seems a better all-around skill

How does the coin purse banking work? I use them once, and then I get to keep the money once when I die? Next time I would need to use more coin purses again?
I don't understand what people see in this game :|
Huge Bloodborne fan I feel like so far this is a step back in everything.
I'm fairly early just beat the ogre but it just feels very unsatisfying to me.

Just put all your money in coin purses and if there's ever something you need to buy pop only the amount you need. That's the strategy.
Coin purses are basically safe money. Only take out what you need.
I'm not feeling this game at all. It is certainly becoming very difficult about 3-4 hours in but man, the hand-holding is REALLY ruining the experience for me. The reason I play these games is literally to have no idea what to expect (I went into Sekiro 100% blind, haven't even seen a trailer or more than two screenshots) and on that front this game is pure ass. Boo. Will see how it all shapes up further into it, but first impressions are very poor indeed especially in contrast to the recent perfection of DMC5.
Edit: Oh right. I should probably remap the controls because shoulder buttons for these sorts of inputs is probably not helping my enjoyment. Jumping on Square and parry on Cross here I come!
Steam Controller or any other gamepad with paddles is amazing for these games for that exact reason.

This combat system. It's technical, precise, with tons of room for improvisation and creativity like Ninja Gaiden Black. Impactful and brutal like Bloodborne. All while retaining that high-stakes-high-tension feel of the Souls games. I can't get over it. Wow. Just wow.
It's so weird but I know we all look for things in games differently than one another. Dmc5 to me was a gigantic let down and Sekiro is mind blowingly awesome. I WISH dmc5 could have the world and level design Sekiro offers. That would be the perfect game.
That is really high praise, wow. I cannot wait to finally get into this.
Haven't purchased it myself so I don't have experience with it, but it's only like 1 skill point so give it a shot.
(Early game like 2-4 hours in)
I was under the assumption that the area i'm in is just the next place I was supposed to go but from seeing some other posts I'm thinking it's optional or a place I should go back later?

should I come back to Hirada Estates later? I went there right after getting the bell when multiple NPCs told me to bring it to the sculptor/buddah. The only prosthetics I have are the axe and shurikens. Getting whopped by the Drunkard lol
To the Nth degree. Every item I pick up gives me a huge popup explaining what it does, every story beat gets a huge popup explaining exactly what it does mechanically, ugh. One of the biggest parts of me liking the From games was the lack of any of that. This game goes the complete opposite direction and I hate it.
I'm honestly not even liking the world all that much. To me, From peaked with Dark Souls when it comes to world building and nothing I have seen in Sekiro so far (early, to be fair) has been anywhere near that in terms of level design. But yeah, DMC5 to me is all about Bloody Palace so the levels in that game having nothing else going for them was a complete non-issue for me, heh.
So conceivably, there could be around 40 unique, named mini-bosses in the game. That's like, a lot!!
Grats!!!! That should really be the first major boss everyone goes after. And not butterfly.
Clear your mind.
Make sure your topped off on health that way if he catches you and smashes you, you will live. That will give you time to run away and reassess and heal. Instead of dying. Then it's just dodge, chop chop. or dodge dodge chop chop. Plink away be patient. Stay topped off on health. I hear he's weak to something particular. I belivie i had two swigs of the gourd by then.
With the other fromsoft games you are on the ground trudging along in melee. There is no flying about like tarzan. This scheme allows me to use the infinite stamina, and sprint to boot scoot out of trouble while being able to turn the camera, to see where safety is, or whos behind me. It's not just utilitarian either, it genuinely makes the entire traversal system more pleasureable.
It lets you learn the game, so in few, when you gotten good you can show everybody whos boss. Several times i waltz into a room, saying to myself - i got dis - only to scamper out a few seconds later, bloodied, the whole world going to shit, and looking for a place to hide and lick my wounds.
Anybody attempting to play with the HUD off yet by the way? I feel like grappling would be a total bitch seeing how distances are hard to tell and sometimes what you can, and cannot, grapple onto?
Really enjoying the game so far. Haven't played much (beat the first real sub-boss I think) but I like that stealth is actually a smart option. Combat is super fun but tough. My only complain is the frame pacing on the base PS4 version, especially coming from DMC5, which ran with smooth 60 fps. My god. I really have to get used to this and hope that From Software improves a bit on it. Game is gorgeous looking, but I'm really dreading faster encounters with multiple enemies with that choppy framerate.
I'm 25 hours in, died hundreds of times probably, no npc fully died. Unless I took my sword to them that is..........
I agree with you but banging my head against butterfly did hone my parrying techniques a lot lol.
Ah shit, That's actually what it says she did.
Do it now.
The NPC is a huge help for the drunkard. Try and take out all the regular enemies (granted it will be tough with the drunkard breathign down your neck), then go talk to the NPC when only the drunkard is left. The NPC draws aggro and can stagger him quite easily.
Thx. I have that item. Gonna try the prior linked cheese method too and try using the item. This game gonna be a grind, so far in a mostly good way. Thankful for all the early help and thank god for YT tips already. Miss summoning. Japan gonna full dragonrot by the time I am done.
Yeah, I made a mistake by challenging Lady Butterfly first before Gyobu lol. Got my ass kicked fucking hard.
I died (the actual one) 4 times to her then gave up. I'm gonna try finding the horseman too then coming back. I can do the first segment of lady butterfly but the second segment is tricky.
