I couldn't tell you when the tutorial is triggered mind, but it's definitely there.
OP
OP
Can someone who beat the game tell me how far I am?
I just want to know how many more major boss fights there are. (ones that require shinobi execution)
I don't remember area names so I'll just say major bosses I've done:
- Lady butterfly
- Horse guy
- Gen-lighting sword
- Guardian Ape
- Monkeys
- I'm currently on corrupted Monk fight
yeah i noped out of there pretty quick. might be worth running in and out for the item though but I just left it lol
This is literally the only thing I did for the bull and it worked beautifully:
Then just attack the butt and blow some firecrackers whenever you can.
Hahaha this is the perfect way to explain it.
Me too, and I don't even like the poison, I just like the knife.
I'm still going to upgrade it to max, hopefully it will be a beast.
You're getting close to the end. There's one major area left and then you'll be at the endgame.
Yes.
Yes he did.
What the fuck you gonna do about it?
[/QUOTE]
I also want to know this! Someone, please. Can't find a video.
Hahaha I was exactly like Rob for so long. Didn't understand why holding R2 was doing nothing.
So watching some streamers play, I realized I fought
incorrectly.
Most people went after her poise, but I whitled down her health by constantly waiting for counter moments. I really don't think I like the poise mechanic, because it constantly feels like I am hitting nothing, and the actual damage I do inflict feels miniscule.
Lady Butterfly

Lol yeah I had that shit happen. I was having a great time exploring that area, ripping those nightjar guys up, then out of nowhere I hear this funny sound and got smashed, ha ha. I just had to chuckle after that.
Err, that's how you are supposed to fight her. There's a tutorial popup about high poise enemies. You need to whittle her down like halfway before she can really be posture broken.
Yeah it took me like 2-3 hours to get down. I think it will be too much for a lot of people. I think it's the hardest boss I've fought across From's Souls games and BB.
Mt. Kenpo(?) or whatever is called has enemies that gives quite the amount of exp, but it was more of a mention farming xp that early in the game is not really needed, but if you really needed them that much, go for it.
To those who finished the game, how would you compare it to other Soulsborne games content-wise? I made it to a part where the game really opened up and I can explore like 4-5 new areas.
Are you referring to...
The monk type enemies on the grassy path towards the temple?
So I have a question about a boss,sorry if already asked and answered, im trying not to read the thread too much before i finish the game.
I'm like 20 hours in but died A LOT during that time for reference. I m talking about
I have a hard time with this one. Is the only way to win
On a more general note, I really love this game. The feeling of progressing and getting better keeps happening constantly. I find the game really hard, plenty of bosses and sub bosses gave me a hard time, but everytime you get better, the feeling is really well done here.
Even with that boss thats beating me up, Im doing much better today than i was yesterday with the exact same stuff on my character, I actually got better overnight after getting destroyed around 20 times yesterday, and thats what I really enjoy about the game.
Edit : lol I press post and see a post containing "Sekiro OT 2 : parry on my wayward son" and this is gold, thanks for the laugh :) and obviously perfect title

the second encounter with the guardian ape
I have a hard time with this one. Is the only way to win
bursting through the add when he pops? Cause I tried that even with a red candy, but it didnt turned out well, and Im scared of spending all my hard earned red candies in too much tries on this boss,so if theres another way I havent figured out I'm all hears

In terms of boss fights, there are 6 more for the typical path (but some are optional).
I think you've hit the nail on the head there as to why i think some folks are having trouble getting in the swing of things. In the opening segments the game through your interaction with the cannon fodder guys, you are lead to think, or at least i was lead to think - perfect parry for the win. So people, myself included will get hung up on getting the perfect parry aspect. The problem comes because your health is so thin, you miss a parry and you are ground meat. And that loading screen gets longer and longer.
I turned around off my need to perfect parry everyone, and swichted on survivability which includes healthy doses of only blocking to learn the parry windows, and dashing about with infinite speed.
PlanetSmasher Something that just came to me regarding the similarities...
Yeah...
Remember this guy from the chalice dungeons? Was only that way after it didn't have a head anymore...
Vaati explained that the english name is misleading, and the japanese name was "host of the beastblood"

So if I've used a coin purse, but I die without having used the sen from it, do I lose it or not?
Just stay close and wail on him. He's easier in that phase. And jump whenever he does the lightning stuff, even if you don't get the counter you can still dodge.
It's not as long as the others. It took me around 26 hours but I left some optional stuff.
I don't think that's bad at all though, there were never any points I disliked or felt dragged on. It was extremely well paced and each area was fun to explore.
you'll lose half of your total sen on death, doesn't matter if it was from a pouch or not.
They're basically the clumps of souls from the other games, you can pay merchants to basically move your money into pouches so that they're safe on death, but anything actively on you can be lost.
I mean the third(?) idol of that area. There's a small pond of water and you can easily sneak on near that area to get several monk enemies killed quite fast. I think each monk is 80+ exp
I think it'll be too much for a lot of people as well. And to them I'd suggest going for one of the earlier and easier endings haha! Prior to this guy, I think the final boss on Shinobi for PlayStation 2(on whatever the harder difficulty was called) was my most difficult and time consuming final boss of all time. There's a new King in town after this game. I love these ninja games but goddamn their end battles!!! Haha
Well yeah, as soon you take it out the purse it gets halved.
I'm really not sure what I feel about this game. When things get going, the game is really intense and fun. The stealth is a bit primitive but fun. On the other hand, I really don't find it fun to grind on a boss for a few hours, especially when some of them have questionable hitboxes/tracking. For example (late game boss spoilers)
. It basically just gets exhausting grinding bosses and the game is just a bit too punishing. Having to deal with loading screens and cutscenes for some of them get tiring too.
I'm also not a fan of some items in this game, especially confetti and ammo for tools. Some items just don't last long enough and the confetti being practically needed for some bosses despite being limited in quantity is just dumb design imo. It can be mitigated in later playthroughs when you know the bosses more but for new players, needing to grind confetti is too punishing and you can't buy it until later when it becomes pointless.
I'm also not a fan of ammo having to be a farmable item. It's not hard at all to grind for but it's a step I'd wish they got rid of. Make your ammo just refill when you rest, it can be kinda discouraging testing out all your tools on enemies and bosses when you realize you'll need to farm for ammo soon.
The game is still great though. I prefer the RPGness in souls games but these games are completely different. I just prefer different action games since I find sekiro too punishing at times. I'm still glad Fromsoft did something new at least. I'll go practice the final boss soon, I'm a bit into his second phase so I'm getting it down at least.
The giant ape grab when he jumps in the air, lady butterfly grab, the bull miniboss is just dumb and boring and they use him twice, the final boss has a vertical attack where it's kind of just a big wave still hits sometimes when I clearly dodged it

I learned that fairly early on: There are two types of enemies (as far as I am understand) those who regain posture quickly which you should focus on their health, and those who recover it slowly, to those you should focus on posture instead of health.

Looking at the story of the game....it might not be a coincidence
I killed the add first but I took my time and waited for clear openings. Once the add was down, the other guy was easy. I didn't use any candy's at all just take your time and attack when it's clear you wont get hit by either of them
Guardian Ape down on my fifth try. Phase one is really easy, just block constantly and hit him a couple of times when it's obvious. Using firecrackers makes it even easier. Phase two? Just cheese him (will take you 5 - 10 minutes). Sprint around in circles around him and attack him only when he does the plunging attack, jump over him (and his slash attack simultaneously) then whack him a couple of times before you bail. Repeat. He didn't even touch me in the second phase.
You gotta completely redo Ashina Castle. You should be able to warp to the abandoned dungeon entrance.
