The general consensus seems to be that the game becomes easier as you progress, it's the opening few hours that are a motherfucker (which I'm currently stuck on :/)

How much attack do you have and vitality do you have? I beat him after 10 tries or something, he can be really damn annoying for sure. The poison isn't really an issue imo, just backstep one or two times. The dumb anti healing thing is annoying because you sometimes step into it when counterhitting.
Too realThanks! Time to grind some Sen to buy that Umbrella!
Also (hope no one has posted this yet)
Wow, that's great news. Good to know, too! I'm happy for you, it would have sucked to miss out on a shinobi tool.
That fight gave me the most trouble out of any boss fight. Taking down his HP works best to break that posture. The fight is very fair and once you figure out what pace to use in that fight, you got it. Good luck
If you want a safe way for his 2nd phase
His weird multi sword swing attack is 4 attacks, count them then go in for a few attacks make sure to quickly get away afterwards though as he will do his terror build up scream. Stay away otherwise and just look for that attack.
Friendly PSA/reminder in case people were unaware:
You don't die from falling into holes unless you are at low health, you just lose a bit of HP (about 1/3rd of your bar).
I repeat: FALLS ARE NOT FATAL
So if you aren't sure you can make that jump but think there's something there... jump away! YOLO!

No but I know which one I missed.
The boss is tied to the specific ending I have left.
First time I went for a secret via jump, I stood there Souls style debating for fucking 20 seconds and watching my XP and currency flash before my eyes and decided to go for it. I didn't make it...and this happened.
I've been playing like a lunatic bouncing around everywhere since, feels great.
Just fought the last boss (at least I think it is) for the first time. Oh god, this looks challenging
I don't feel that's true.
You get better at the game and bosses repeat too so your skill transfers over into that but there are a few last couple of bosses that are probably among the hardest fromsoft content ever.
I got stuck on lady butterfly, so I moved on to geni, ended up stuck for 2.5 hours but finally beat him. Went back to lady butterfly and beat her first try lol.
The first time I fell, I was pushed back by some enemy attack (or panic-jumped away and fell, I don't recall exactly) and I died because I was at low health.
So naturally I just assumed that all those falls were fatal for a while. Only when I missed one hookshot... I think in Gun Valley? and didn't die, did I realize. I was all :O :O :O WHAT IS THIS SORCERY
Also #proofthatitsnotasoulsgamedammit
I just think bosses are phenomenal, even mini bosses feel like bosses most of the time.
It's true that a lot of them don't feel special in the same vein as in Bloodborne or Dark Souls but the main ones mostly do, Lady B, the Ape, and Genichiro are phenomenal fights and I still have a lot of game ahead.
Alright.
About how much game do I have left? Anything I should definitely do now before progressing the plot?
I've finished Genichiro, Guardian Ape, Corrupted Monk and the Screen Monkeys.

I did Lady Butterfly first, but the horseman is far easier imo.
I don't get the criticisms about King Kong. The first phase is a standard Souls boss except you're jumping around instead of rolling or dodging, and the second phase is all about that posture maintenance. Plus he
I can't hate him just because of that.
throws his stinkies at you and does a fart;
Gyoubu for sure it's easier, I did it in my third try. Lady B was a tough one.
So I got a question.
I think I'm fairly late in the game, but I have never encountered that twirling and jumping Monk boss From showed off in demos. Did I skip an area in the game somehow?
HOWEVER
I ended up using shurikens on the thing, I got down more than half its health with them, that helped a lot. It was a bitch tho.

HOWEVER
I just encountered a ghostly "corrupted monk" version of that boss, with the same attacks I remember from the demos. The fuck? This normal or did I skip over an area in the game?

I got another (thanks Rex_DX for the inspiration)
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice | OT2 | Praise the Rising Sun
looking it up online I guess I'm missing something from Senpou temple, but I don't think I've even seen senpou temple.
I loved that fight even if I mostly ran in his second form.
maybe 1/4-1/3rd left. The world state progresses but unless youre trying to 1000% just go for it.
Hell yeah it's fun. I haven't experienced an adrenaline rush like this fighting From bosses since the first Dark Souls. The combat is so fast and fluid and exhilarating. It's just also goddamn frustrating, too.
Dark Souls games/ Bloodborne in a nutshell. Atleast until Sekiro's DLC (oh god...)
Oh sorry, I already got Gyoubu. I meant between
Lady Butterfly and Ginshiro
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice | OT2 | I Have No Arm and I Must Scream
you get a prompt you can decline, and do it later from an idol.
Don't give up.Spent the last ~70 deaths trying to beat Genichiro V2, finally get him down andhis 2nd form pops up as a big fuck you to the last five hours of struggling and dealing with one of the most grueling tests of stamina and timing yet.
Did you beat Lady Butterfly yet? The boss attack boff from her made it more manageable for me.
Be aggressive, llet himpull out his bow as few times as possible.
When he transforms into his second form you can immediately mikiri his lunging attack that always comes out first. He's way more prone to posture damage since he doesn't have his armor anymore, the fight won't go that much l
It really is a bitch lol. Also to your other question, no you didn't miss it.
You can skip it however, depending on a decision you have to make. I also find it wird they put the illusion first, doesn't make much sense to me.
So late game area/ability
This is the best game
Using the puppet ninjitsu to turn enemies into allies and making an army of palace gaurds fighting with you is fucking incredible. If you have the shinobi skill where you can leap over an enemy whose posture is broken to stealth kill them this allows you to make more than one enemy into an ally. Very useful against the groups in this area. Plus its so incredibly bad ass
This is the best game
Oh,
Lady B for sure! she gave me hell but Genichiro was even harder lol
I just killed
second try?! WTF. No way, that was too easy to be the last boss. I don't trust this one second
Divine Dragon
Butterfly should be the easier one there to get an attack boost.
Though the game actually has a lot more paths open to you post-bull, so you could try some of those out.
Yep.
One of them is a mini-boss, the others are a bit easier down the line.
Damn I want to play this again so bad, I'm wishing it was on Switch so I could play it during my commute and my lunch break.
Not a port beg, more "I want to play this game right now and can't wait till I get home" beg. I'm hooked.
For anyone playing in English, are we all agreement the dub is completely mediocre? I expected more from Activision tbh. I haven't played their games in years but I swear the COD games on PS3 had quality VO

The only person that I've seen earn it said it was after beating NG+4, but people aren't sure if rematch fights count yet.
I thought that was just fish...some kind of offering stuff.
So I've spent a ridiculous amount of time at the Hirata estate.. Is this meant to be played later when I've gotten more skills or what? Also the carp in the area.. Is there more than 4 scales to get? Also why can i kill certain carp and not the other i can see/lock on to?
