Had too much sake and kept whiffing every deflection in the second Owl fight dying within seconds and lmaoing at how ridiculous it all is

Sekiro is without a doubt one of the greatest video games ever made. If you think sekiro is anything less than S+ tier, don't talk to me, in fact, gently caress off!

Beat Owl (Father) yesterday, easily the most satisfying fight in the game. Skipped the Demon of Hatred on this playthrough, I'm in it for the sword fights more than the giant creature fights and this one wasn't any fun. Probably go for it for real in another playthrough when I've got more attack power, plus apparently if you give the sculptor each type of sake to get all of his lore dialogue you get extra dialogue before and after the demon fight and I didn't manage to do that this time around.

All that's left is the final boss fight!

i guess theyre probably just looking to wring some extra sekiro sales out of elden ring’s massive success. but still. what if.

Yeah it's a great feeling when you have him figured out. My successful attempt I burned through his first deathblow marker without taking a hit, felt incredible.

gently caress yeah dude. The way I approached it is if Genichiro damaged me more than the heal-on-deathblow would cover I'd just start over. Silver spoon chewing shithead is unworthy of my gourd :hai:

Fell to Isshin's first phase a whole lot because I kept trying to aggressively combo instead of letting him do his patterns, countering him and then hacking away

Owl (Father) fight is my fav in this game by far, it's the peak of the sword fighting. Isshin's second phase with the bullshit spear and repeating pistol soured the final fight for me, I was straight up not having a good time

The progression with Genichiro is so good. The first fight he wrecks you, the second fight is likely to be a serious wall, and the last fight you're expected to obliterate him without taking any damage and most of the time you're able to do it. I really hope FromSoft keeps going with Vergil-style rival bosses because it rules.

If you haven’t played them yet I highly recommend the harder versions of genichiro, owl and isshin in the boss gauntlets. They added some fantastic new tricks, especially to owl

On NG+ now without giving up Kuro's Charm and lol this is fun, just blasting through everything like a cannon. Even beat the intro Genichiro boss but obviously you get your arm chopped off no matter what but you appear to not get anything for beating him other than different dialogue where Genichiro calls you a bastard

Sword saint is perfection, owl father is good though. Demon of Hatred is probably as enjoyable as Isshin for me

Most of what held me up on my first playthrough was not even attempting to parry certain things because I assumed they couldn't be but drat near everything that isn't an outright death attack can be deflected if not necessarily blocked

I spent a lot of time jumping over her, I don't remember if it was because of that grab move though. It seemed to lead to victory for me :shrug:
