Try to deflect the blows, then immediately use firecrackers so that you can either heal or gain posture back.
Yes, I agree. I'm right at the end of the game and nothing of the sort of come up that would make him say that at that point of the game.
I mean the only grinding I did was for Mats, mini bosses give like a whole skill point, so if you just kill them its fine ^_^. I did full playthroughs and not restarting bs tho
That said....I didnt wanna grind for my last skill point, so I just switched to the PC version already. So smooth....can actually cancel my attacks so much better now
I dont like this game enough to play through it again atm a clash lock is basically just attack attack you get parried you parry back attack attack this works on them yes
Only increases by the number of skill points you earned. Each skill point increases the required exp about 14 - 16
Genichiro you can get away with mashing at his face but you'll eventually get deflected and fucked up if you don't block or deflect back after they do. Ape can be stunlocked forever if you hit him with a certain rhythm. It's weird.
ape is easy

Like I have zero reasons to lie about shit, I already did a full playthrough with the bell demon rung asap as my blind playthrough, most of the fights I strugged with until i just said fuck it and went full agro and noticed a lot of bosses put themselves in loops like idiots
I know this will anger some people here, but: fuck From Soft and their skill checks.
It was fun, but when I see you guys talking about all these bosses and having trouble with their third phases and whatnot - and I died for the 20th time today from a simple general miniboss (the one after the bull) - I see that there really is no point in me continuing. I mean, no way I am going to beat the more difficult bosses.
boy I'm on NG+ and mini bosses aren't giving anywhere close to a whole skill point
but yeah, that's what we were saying. i think it's pretty common to not bother with midbosses on subsequent playthroughs
THANK YOU!!!
To the person that posted here that the mortal blade techniques still work even if you don't have spirit emblems, just not as powerful.
It meant that I could actually kill the Corrupted Monk, my least favourite boss fight, what a chore, but I killed that motherfucker, didn't even cheese him with snap seeds.
It always does damage if you hit him, and it staggers him on the 2nd hit, *chefs kiss*

Add me to the group of people getting their ass handed to them by
. Anyone got tips for this guy? Can I beat
Father Owl
Corrupted Monk first and then come back to this to get the Purification Ending?
Yeah i can't pull even this cheese tactic off. I can maybe do this hit and run cheese tactic once or twice but all other times i am getting hit. Nah it is it for me, throwing in the towel now. I just can't beat the game. It is what it is i guess..? fuck it.
If anyone plays this on Xbox PM me if you wanna do the last boss on my account lol. I just dont want to anymore, like at all.
I liked the game very much until
Great Shinobi Owl
Killed the
Seven Ashina Spear guy... I used most of my health flask and all my pills but dang it, I did it!
First did a stealth kill then used blue ungo sugar + loaded axe to do it. Might be my favourite prosthetic so far. I tried to deflect but he does so much ridiculous posture damage.... I did one mikiri counter at least. Firecrackers seem good too.

That's how you get that dialogue, and Sekiro asks her how shs learned then talks as if she's good. It doesn't make sense because he's never seen her use a sword, again unless I'm missing something.
You can beat COrrupted Monk, you just can;t beat the boss after her. As for Owl, the challenge is just throwing away what you learned in the first fight against him. Almost all of his moves are the same, it's the patterns that are different. Phase 2 is much easier since he loves to spam and attack you can easily Mikiri.
Will have to do for something else. Will have to finish that fight at a other time with cheats and mods on PC.
I had a lot less trouble with Genichiro lol. His attacks didn't take away half the health bar.
There's multiple conversations to be had. I believe the type of sake matters to some extent but I'm not sure of the specifics.
Honestly, I found some mini-bosses tougher than regular full bosses, since some require fighting in super specific arenas requiring specific moves to win. But, in general, you just need to git gud. I feel like a GOD with the game now on NG+.
I had this same issue. I was like, "wait, what?"
I took it as one of those things where a skilled swordsman can basically eye someone up and tell they're skilled with a blade just by how they present themselves.
Seems like a common trope in this type of thing anyway. Especially with how reluctant she seemed to talk about it.
I did enough playthroughs to get all the endings and I still had to spend like bit a an hour of grinding to get all the skills. Granted, I ran past most of the enemies since it's really easy lol but it was just easier grinding xp on one enemy than killing everything again in a new playthrough. I think you need like 70k xp near the end just for one skill point. There's an easy grinding spot but it's boring.
Just now fighting Genichiro
This is gonna take a while :(
What really sucks is I wasn't paying attention and I was only 70XP away from a new skill point when I first fought him. I don't know why I wasn't looking at that before I fought him cause I knew it would take a while

Ebrietas is yet another example of my main problem with BB: lots of big bosses, awful camera and awul hitboxes. The boss does LOTS of charge attacks that are kind of cheap and do a ton of damage, when she is close it's hard to see what the hell she is doing, and has a ton of HP. It's not a beautiful fight, it's not interesting, it's basically long and cheap.
got final boss down to max stance meter in the last phase on my first try in ng+ and died... feels bad
Hello, can anyone tell me at which bonfire I should look for the way to continue the story? Last boss I beat is
(what a dick!). Just the general area and no spoilers please.
Some questions:
Genichro
My guess is Main Hall from the temple, but I cannot do anything there, or can I? It is a dead end
Was the hidden door to Kuros room always accessible from the beginning? That shortcut blew my mind. And was the shop guy always at the first bonfire near Emma? I just saw him the first time after coming from Kuros room haha!
why not save them for end game beat CM get that item to be able to buy infinite of them and then do it.. ?
Isn't this spoiler for some people?
Thanks
So I have an issue with a boss i think towards the end
Is there a specific coutner to
I tried jump twice which works but the timing is weird so I get hit most of the time. Is there something im missing? I got him to the last bit of his posture and he killed me :(
transformed genichiro in the silver field, way of the omoe or smthg
his mortzl blade attack?
he probably has a second phase with 2 lives i bet
I'm confused about the prosthetic upgrades and I'm not sure if I'm running up against a glitch or just a poorly explained system. So, here's my issue (this will make more sense if you follow along on the Prosthetic Tool Upgrades tree):
I'm trying to unlock the Phantom Kunai upgrade. I have the Phantom Kunai item and the required upgrade materials. I have the required amount of Sen. I have the upgrades on the way to it (Spinning Shuriken > Spring-load Axe > Aged Feather Mist Raven). Yet it still lists Phantom Kunai as unavailable.
The only possible thing I can think of is if I also need the other upgrades that branch to it (Loaded Spear Thrust Type > Gouging Top) but that would be unlike the way the trees work anywhere else in the upgrade systems of the game (which I guess is just the Skill Trees) and there's nothing in any of the language that says this. And I'm certainly not gonna get the materials and sen for two upgrades I'm not interested in just to find out.

So I beat the game, and have come to grips with the combat just fine.
The one thing I continuously SUCK at is kinda funny - I can't ledge-grab consistently to save my life. I see the prompt on the screen, I hit the button, I sometimes hold the button early. It never works all the time! What am I missing? Anyone else feel this is a little wonky? Am I crazy?

This boss has crazy posture regeneration until he is at less than half HP. So be patient, hit him on the HP when he shows opportunities (two shurikens+jump strike if you dodge the strike, for example) or BEFORE he starts some attack string (risky but it pays off).
Then you start being more aggressive to destroy his posture.

You've been given 3 objectives and you can tackle them in any order. Each path from the castle leads to one of the objectives.
That door was always there yes, but it was locked from the other side.
That merchant was one of the guys you met at the castle. Once you take out the enemies surrounding him he'll relocate to the temple and open up shop.

If you mean pressing X to grab on white ledges, you can hold the button all the time since you jump no problem.
The worst is when she starts spamming lasers AND swinging around AND doing charging attacks across the whole arena T__T
Makes me appreciate that in Sekiro all the bosses with projectiles are done fairly ok. None (LB, DoH, Schichimen warriors... That's it, I think?) are Ebrietas-level BS and are very manageable. Plus the umbrella helps a lot.
Ledge grab is perfectly fine and super responsive for me, if you aren't sure about the timing, tap it repeatedly. Do not hold it.
Also if you are doing wall jump, please don't spam the jump button, it's gonna do an air kick for you which interrupts the ledge grab.
I guess I could maybe accept that. And yeah, she seemed very surprised he was e even asking.
Endgame sidequest talk ahead.
Giving the Fountainhead Water to the priest in the locked temple and watching him turn into a Mist Noble was pretty fucked up. Lots of treasure carp scales for a reward, though. Also, poor Basket Man turned into a zombie and called me a "monster" even though HE was the one attacking me. :|
And then killing the Great Carp with the Truly Precious Bait. Now I have the full Dragon Mask! If I wanted, I guess I could grind myself up to a ridiculous level of attack power and just cheese the final boss with it. Not sure if it's worth the energy, but hey.
NEVER used the umbreall tbh (or the spear, or the axe aside from against some shield guys, or the fans, or the fire cannon), but I agree that the bossfights in general in Sekiro feel more fair but at the same time more intense than in any previous Miyazaki game, and as you said the projectiles are done in a more fair way (and are not that common). My main problem with projectiles in the game is how Gen-chan can mix-up some bow attacks midcombo, but even so it's a good opportunity to hit him in the face.
I just run away from it, out of range, then run straight back to him. Sometimes can get a hit in.
