It's one of the best action games ever made as far as I'm concerned. A game of the generation contender. I actually don't think I've ever played a game this intense.
Was fighting a mini boss and they ran off a cliff, which killed them. Hopefully that's not a common occurrence.
so far I only have one of the end-of-skill-tree abilities (not shadowrush) and it also looks nuts and seems very strong. a lot of these skills seem very cool—i struggle working most of them into my rotation, though. especially the ones that cost spirit emblems
like, for most of them, I'd rather just be deflecting/slashing. hoping I find the right niche for more of them

lol its not my video, even said I need to grind to buy that skill.
Any strategies for the Ashina Castle boss? I can regularly get him down to the end of his first gauge but I just can't really seem to outlast him. Any moves or tricks that help make it a little less daunting?
First of all, it's not a Soulsborne game. Cant grind your way through it, can't cheese bosses with broken builds, none of that. When you fail, you just have to learn to do better yourself, Wolf himself can only improve so much (and yeah, there are some very useful skills you can buy, but nothing that will drastically change his basic combat performance). So it's much closer in spirit to Ninja Gaiden than Dark Souls. And yeah it's pretty tough. Definitely NOT easier than BB or DS3. It's a fantastic game, but you've got to be willing to fail A LOT and learn from it.
Yeah but this game hasn't been made to be balanced for any player on player action, you have far too many options to account for, it's like asking for VS mode for a dmc game that somehow has to work with reviving and players would just fuck that mechanic over and make it completely useless since they won't walk away.
That part is probably the most ''cinematic'' part of the game, it's kinda on-rail to be honest, feels like one huge set piece. You'll know what I mean.
Let's just assume I'm talking to the future you.
I still haven't defeated Lady Butterfly but I've killed the Chained Ogre, then some Genral. I've gone past the giant snake and met the horseback-riding boss. Got my ass kicked
I guess I'll call it a day

As a Souls veteran, I feel as lost with this game as I first did when playing Demon's Souls. There are mechanics and enemies that I do not understand yet. I might need to look up a guide or something, but so far I am a bit frustrated albeit enjoying my time.
Stroooong disagree.
Butterfly is Pinwheel.
You can literal stun lock her for the whole fight.
The experience won't change (if anything itll get better due to patches). So waiting is fine.
This plays nothing souls btw.
Nah. The generous amount invincibility during the execution animations, and your ample ability to maneuver around individuals in a mob, make group combat perfectly manageable. Especially when you add in the abilities that are specifically tailored to helping you deal with groups. Hell, it is downright enjoyable.
Gonna finally get a chance to play this game for real after work today, but I've been reading through this thread and have a question about groups of enemies: is it totally viable to just jump in an utilize the tools the game gives you to take out large groups, or do you have to stealth cheese?
Whats the name of item you received? I need more info to look this up.
The invicinlity doesn't matter when you have a moment without invincibility after where you can't move
Play it now, it'll get easier in the future and the experience won't be the same, right now everyone is going in blind and it's awesome sharing experiences online.
Also it's very different than Souls, VERY different. If you play this like you play Souls you'll literally never beat it. It does not work like Souls, at all.
Lady Butterfly is what happens when Lady Maria gets old, a killing machine with over 50 years of experience.
For anyone having trouble, you absolutely cannot play this like Bloodborne or Dark Souls. Learning to deflect and mikiru is pretty much required. Once you get that down you WILL start feeling like a badass.
Oh my god... now I have to go back through the whole game and hug every wall, don't I?!
Okay. I think I just still need to get used to what indicates a deflect vs a regular guard and the animation cues for when enemies are open for a counter attack. I'm used to the Souls formula of a big noise happening and a big window after successful parries, and that's what happens after posture KOs now instead so I just need to learn the new system.
It was the second one. Barely squeaked by, managed to throw some ash in his face right before he KO'd me and I got him first. But that was after a stealth attack getting rid of the first HP bar. Not sure how I'm gonna far when I don't get to stealth attack first.
Hirata Estate is Firelink Graveyard all over again, going by some of the reactions, including my own.
You'd think 10 years of Souls would prepare us for this, but nope, we're idiots. :D
Died more in Hirata Estate than in my entire first playthrough of Bloodborne, for sure.

Wait, what? That works? In the exact same way?
Don't know if that's the place your talking about,
but right after Drunkard there's one on the left side of the house
From Software won't ever do this...once they go down that road there's no going back and people will want that in every game developed by them
Dudes don't stop respawning in Souls games. The only exception would be Dark Souls 2.
So, no.
Arrow guys can be easily killed by shurikens in long range. Also sekiro runs so fast that's very easy to bait out enemies from the group to clash one on one. Amazing gif as always!Jeez this game is hard, so much harder than BB XD, but I'm having fun with the combat so it's not too frustrating right now. Fighting multiple enemies though is where the difficulty feels a little cheap, combat system just doesn't feel like it does well in those situations with the camera and lock on becoming a pain. Most my deaths during the Drunkard fight were because of trying to get rid of the mob first, once I got into a nice one on one it was cool but having to get rid of those around especially with the arrows shooting at you was difficult. Still though, a few hours in now and it's pretty damn good so far.
Dodge left, attack then dodge right and attack. Stun locks her.
Stuck on Genichiro Ashina. Can't deal enough posture on this super a-hole of a boss so have no idea what to do here. Every guide tells me to use axe and counter him to build up posture. But his posture is regained insanely fast anyway. ....??? So wtf am i supposed to do here...???
Gyoubou was the easiest fight in the game so far, easily
Yeah this guy knows how to fight. Good video; hopefully it will help people who are trying to play a little too passively.
Ichimonji, youll find him if you explore the opposite direction from the bosses idol and next zone
Gotta say the meltdowns in here have been giving me life.
Which is why I cant help but laugh when people compare the amount of enemies to DS2 spam. The dynamics are nowhere near the same.
Its very doable but you have to be skilled and quick on your feet or else youll get smacked in 2-3 hits. Using stealth to take out a few isnt cheese so much as its a built in way to lower the game's difficulty in combat.
I did notice this a few times. Sometimes I can block incoming attacks sometimes I cant.
ds3 and BB are the easiest of the soulsbourne series...this is way harder.
