I think this is the any% speedrun strat now, I saw Distortion2 do it a bunch the other night. Someone also found a really hard skip on Ape that requires a prosthetic and some insane oob jumps but I don't know if anyone has incorporated it into an actual run now. It'll be sick if eventually you can beat the game without having to fight any of the bosses for real.

these pure skill no glitch runs have been really fun to watch and im glad by the time it gets to gdq itll be a guy running through a black void for 20 minutes to the final cutscene trigger

sekiro. don't have the platinum yet but the only trophy i'm missing is all skills and i have 27 levels (!) to grind out...i'll get it eventually but i don't really feel like sitting down and doing it for 2-3 hours. i'll get it eventually, though, 10/10 game

finally found the guts to put on bell demon for second NG playthrough and it's tight. fights that were easy as hell on ng+2 like butterfly are pushing my posture the the max in one or two combos, punishing mashing at all.

distortion2 gets the ape skip in this run, my favorite is the ghost monk kill though

I don't understand whether I'm good at this game or not. I kicked my dad's rear end on the third attempt and now I can't get past the corrupted monk rematch

As soon as you do the first deathblow, get to the highest branch asap and you can do an aerial deathbow for the second phase.

is the headless through the underwater passage after serpent shrine inexplicably hard or have I just hit a mental block? I've killed all the others fairly easily and it's wrecking me

what am I missing with the owl, perfectly deflecting still stacks my posture. Trying to sprint doesn't really work. I just wait for him to jump and then hit then.

If you have demon bell on I think mistimed parries add to your posture damage. Otherwise I'm not sure how to help

It's pretty much that. You just have to wait to strike till he jumps and throws lloyd's talisman. Then once his health is about halfway his posture will start to stack.

the first try at the fight after I complained I won lol. I basically just took every chance to hit him- namely not worrying about getting hit with the loyd's did the trick

I'd suggest "besting me in a game of Chess" but I'm afraid that's very, very unlikely.
