I probably would have never gone back lol but I remember going through that cave and being certain a boss was gonna attack me lol. After I beat ape my friend mentioned I should go back to it at some point for a treat lol

Finding out in the memory I probably killed his wife :negative:

(ape refight) if you ignore the brown ape and kill the other first the brown ape gets incredibly sad and just collapses, fading away :negative:

the double ape fight is intimidating and throws a lot at you but it's not really that bad when you realise the second ape doesn't have much health and only really jumps in to do an easy combo now and again, it's more of a distraction than anything. I just chucked firecrackers around and blitzed it with mortal draw

Ya I got owned the first time because I was in a corner before I even saw there was a second ape after an easy enough first round. Then was kind of pinned in and got hit with a scream. Second time I used Mortal Draw as soon as the brown one appeared (which has absurd range apparently) and then realised she'd come after me a lot when the white one scremed so ended up an easy enough fight. Heard it's difficult on NG+ though

Gonna head to the devine realm after work

The true monk fight was so much more fun than the ghosty one. Also managed to get two snake fruits to give to the divine child of rejuvenation so he gave me some tears which sound good. Emma or Kuro could not give less of a gently caress about them though lol I thought they'd be a big deal.

Nah the guy in the return to Hirata who whistles and summons three dogs. Stayed super aggressive to interrupt his whistle for them and then realised shurikens also worked! So not too bad in the end.

Gonna come back here later though because the next area has double purple ninjas and a pack of bandits and they don't fight each other like I thought they would lol. Assuming Hirata doesn't get locked off ever?

The final boss is every purple ninja in the game merge together to form a giant purple ninja and unleash real ultimate power

I know half the bosses in the game are "duels" and he doesn't have exactly the same equipment as the player but Owl should be held up with Vergil as one of the greatest mirror match bosses of all time imo

they just end up as the asylum demon equivalent with more lovely attacks thrown in each iteration

It's cool! Definitely intended as a final area I feel like. My pal is a god of dark souls so tips me off on obscure quest lines because she's platted each from game lol. I had a really finicky issue with it that no guides mentioned so lmk if you ever try again and I can explain what I had to do!

Getting owned and this is the first fight since poison pit snake eyes I just feel sapping my enthusiasm totally. Like a worse version of GA where it just feels like a total mess and nothing like you've been practicing for with all the other cool fights. Also a status boss sucks imo

divine confetti helps a ton with damage but it’s gonna be a shitshow while you learn the moves. its epic once the tides start turning and you start whipping his rear end

got phase 1 down now reliably get through it last 2 or 3 times with good gourds left but 2 is pifnul again and there are three but I will end his suffering

Aug 11, 2013

maybe 30 tries in and got ti his second phase about 10 and nearly his 3rd once. Feels so impossible. Def improving a lot but lose a lot of gourds still on phase one or get through using two. his combo and chip damage with fire really sucks rear end as does his constant leap back to the walls. It's a good boss fight but not a good sekiro fight imo, you only learn to be better at him not the game which kind of sucks rear end for a final boss

ya I know. I have to go to the field. But I mean he's like the final set of bosses there's him, Hirata 2 boss, and whoever the final boss is. So to have a totally diff boss be potentially the last thing you face is kind of lame imo especially with so much hp
