Long Spark is my favorite prosthetic and it does kick rear end but it doesn't automatically win the game for you. Like at most you'll get a single hit on a non beast enemy. Later in the game I barely use it in favor of others, but for like 75% if the game it's the GOAT.

a lot of the time i'd forget to use anything but attack and block and that probably helped me learn the fights a lot better and more quickly

i’ve never enjoyed being stuck on bosses until this game. it’s a joy to get better and better and better at the fight.

the biggest thing with the apes second phase is he does the big juicy overhead attack EVERY second deflect. if you deflect this overhead attack he gets super staggered for 2-3 hits

the ape doing a massive turd and throwing it at you is a funny as gently caress response to the ol butt hug strategy. double checking my post due to my racist phone

the bull felt kind of lovely though idk. even deflecting it it dealt a ton of fire dmg, you basically need the spark or need to run around very slowly chipping away at it. theres probably another trick i dont know about

i just did the basic whirlwind slash around him in circles because it seemed like the logical thing to do, and it was.

lol. probably a good fight to break lockon for too. (lategame stuff) I had a super easy time against his cousin. but its very different..i don't think it dealt any kind of status/elemental dmg through block and you had a huge arena to fight it in, plus i had 200 healing potions instead of 2

That seems legitimately broken so they might've patched it out. I know for sure they patched out the first round deathblow on Corrupted Monk. You can still deathblow the 2nd phase but it's tricky to position so it doesn't feel cheesed

funnily enough he starts deflecting and blocking if you get him close to the stairs leading up to the chest. you have to turn around and push him into the corridor for it to work

u could probably instantly posture break him by spinning an umbrella around a bunch too for the 2nd phase. as well as the first come to think of it though u may need the tanto for both dots.

i beat him first playthrough with living force fire blade, which stunlovks him to death.....second playthrough with umbrella, which feels really unfair since if u dont spin it its free and u take no damage

jjust realised i forgot to update my internet before i played sekiro so ive been playing an unpatched version ... idk how much dfferent stuff is but im dling like 4gb of stuff for it atm. i wanted to upload some miniboss cheese i found that isnt on youtube yet (red eye ashina elite with the mortal blade) but its robably already been patched out

I think the changes are mostly some of the prosthetic tools costing less emblems

was trying to cheese the sakura bull and every time i firecracker it from behind instead of ramming into the wall and knocking itself out, it just freezes in place until i hit it. was also doing this while i was throwing ceramics at it, anyone else on 1.04 have this happen???

I'm on Great Shinobi Owl and even whittling his first health bar down halfway feels like a big accomplishment. Ichimonji Double has been one of my favorite combat arts and it works so well against him when you have an opening. I think Lady Butterfly, Owl, and especially Genichiro are some of the best bosses From has ever done.

Just beat him. Definitely one of the best fights in the game.

The Corrupted Monk fight was an awesome way of showing how good you've gotten at the combat. You can wreck her first phase with nothing but posture damage. I really hope they make DLC for this.

I feel like this game hasn't really stuck in my mind the way other From games have... I don't mean that as a criticism, I dunno. I'll definitely replay it, it's a fantastic game, I just don't think about it as much?

i took a long time to beat the ape and it was mostly about just learning to read his unusual animations. i think he was a fine boss but i didnt do any lame kiting strats cuz i just figured that would make the game boring. basically i approached it like mgr where parry > all

yeah this is the kind of thing I mean. It's one of the best games they've made and is 1000x better than DS2/3 but there's something a bit forgettable about it. I am very mentally ill though.

i dont think its as good as bloodborne. but like owl 2 is one of the best fights theyve ever done easy. lets wait for the dlc though cos bloodborne went to a completely different lvl with the dlc.

its probably much harder at bloodborne to get properly top tier at too .. well it is for me anyway.
