When looking for tips on how to handle Inner Genchiro I found a video of someone absolutely wrecking him in under 1:30 with a prosthetic I've never touched, the money throw, so I know there's a lot more ways to play this I haven't tried or thought of

Wamsutta posted:I don't have any spirit emblems at all, lol, and it's all I can do to keep trying the boss, I absolutely will not farm. If I manage to win it's going to be without emblems Mortal draw still works without emblems and the ichimonji is free. If you can't handle this diminished old man can you imagine having to fight him in his prime? I bet you wish you would have just betrayed kuro. No way that would have had a different and worse outcome.

The devs are acutely aware of what they just put you through so the next two bosses are much easier (second is mostly a gimmick/freebie, like the monkeys)

Wamsutta posted:No I mean corrupted monk who is now beating the poo poo out of me oh. best advice i have for her is not to stay right up in her face, because one of her attacks (the ground-to-air upward cut) is made to punish wolf at point-blank range - she insta-breaks your guard with the pommel of her spear so that you eat poo poo on the actual cut. if you stay two or three steps away from her instead then you only have the slash to deal with also you can instantly end her second phase with a well-timed jump stealth attack from the upper branches, and when she does her spinning multi-hit cut you're best off just running away and slicing her up when she gets winded

I kinda can’t believe that after two days of Owl I’m immediately shoved into another boss fight, I don’t get to explore a new area or anything? Right back into slamming my head against the wall? gently caress Edit: thank gently caress, I beat her. About a dozen tries Wamsutta fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Dec 18, 2023 |

Oscar Wild posted:Congrats! For Owl, what was the thing that pushed you over into victory? What did you do differently? Mainly just really locking in on what I could and couldn’t deflect, getting used to sidestepping and Ichimonji’ing him after the overhead spin slash, and a few timely uses of ravens mist (I gave in and farmed a little) plus tying all of that together in a run where I made basically zero mistakes.

Zwingley posted:wow corrupted monk took me way more than a dozen tries my first kill I think it took a dozen tries for me, but that’s only because I got loving pissed off at the game introducing a new boss after two health bars combined with phase 2 not being especially difficult but time consuming with the shadow clone jutsu and just pocket sand/shinobi fireworksed my way throug phase 3. OP definitely deserves props even if he has the memory boost from Owl. Also, really wish I could use Ichimonji, but there’s no way afaik to make it a dedicated button press and I usually do the button combo without meaning to on an attack after deflecting (not great) or deflecting after attacking (gently caress gently caress fuuuuck).

I just beat owl first try on this run. The minibosses at the serpent shrine and the dojo both killed me like twice each. You get used to bosses in this game while I never engage the purple guys unless I have to. I'm excited to go back to hirata

Zwingley posted:wow corrupted monk took me way more than a dozen tries my first kill the tip about hitting a death blow from the tree for the 2nd lifebar was really useful for me, and you probably didn't have that info i liked the corrupted monk fight, once i got used to her moves it was fun to deflect/mikiri/stomp her, and i figured out that her terror spit was an easy chance to get a couple punish slashes in owl, though, was like someone combined my bloodborne experiences of father gascoigne, martyr logarius (he's easy for me now but walled me insanely hard the first playthrough), and orphan of kos (i have one dub over orphan and am scared to fight him again lol). the idea of a second owl fight is yikes but i'll deal with it when i get there

Yeah that one was easy after the first attempt where I was just like “wait, what?” I picked up a gourd seed for killing ghostly raging bull but Emma’s dialogue doesn’t give me the option to give it to her so I’m hoping that’s just temporary until I move the story on somehow.

I haven’t done any of that stuff really. I’m almost certain I can’t get that whole segment of game because I didn’t take some absurdly random unknowable action at the right time. That’s fun.

It's inscrutable for sure. I don't think you're locked out of it though, just have some tedious back and forth to trigger dialogues. NG+ is very quick since you'll have just about all the prayer necklaces and gourds so it turns into a boss rush.

Nah I think I’m hosed Emma is at the top of the stairs at the tower lookout and won’t do anything except ask me to consider saving Kuro Kuro talking about divine dragon Used up eavesdrop option on Kuro at this spot Eavesdropped on Isshin and spoke to him Nothing happening at the dilapidated temple Looks like I didn’t guess Miyazaki’s magic words

i'm pretty sure there are only two points of no return in the game: one for the bad ending (incredibly obvious dialogue choice, you either side with Kuro and get one of the three good endings or side with Owl and get the bad one) and one for locking in which of the good endings will be available (killing the divine dragon) if you're not able to do the kuro and emma eavesdrops it's more likely that you haven't progressed the game enough than that you've progressed it too much and missed them Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Dec 19, 2023 |

Oh my god, really? Like all these poo poo I did with the serpents was for no loving reason, since I missed an eavesdrop conversation earlier? ffs. Do I at least keep most of the items in NG+? I'm sure I'm gonna run through the game again, maybe just once though. Also apparently that early game vendor I accidentally killed is still blocking off a ton of my upgrades, 20 hours later. Sigh.

Like all these poo poo I did with the serpents was for no loving reason, since I missed an eavesdrop conversation earlier? ffs. you keep everything except plot-related key items. that includes prosthetics and their upgrades, gourd charges, attack and vitality upgrades, skills, etc. so far as I know the only things you lose that might matter are the mortal blade and associated skills (but those come back when you get the mortal blade again) and the ability to dive

NG+ is the real Sekiro. The game doesn’t stop being hard exactly but your money/item worries will vanish. Your health will probably max out if you didn’t do that in NG, but your attack power just keeps increasing for a while.

Wamsutta posted:Nah I think I’m hosed Rest a few times in kuros room, watch and see characters will move around. You want the one with Emma and Into both standing in the main room Edit: you don't need to stand up between rests, just rotate the camera and keep cycling it. If that doesn't work then I think the very first trigger was missed before you collected both the guardian ape or ghost monk items, either one text editor fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Dec 19, 2023 |

I’ve had deaths against him where I don’t even damage him lol. Can’t at all figure out how to avoid being firecrackered at the end of his five hit hipcheck combo, and 90% of the time this combo ends in up against the wall of the arena anyway Wamsutta fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Dec 20, 2023 |

Just dodge directly at him and very slightly to the side when he throws the firecrackers out and you'll wind up safe
