Fighting the mini boss general, getting whooped before I take off any health and accidentally hitting revive, then proceeded to perfectly block like 15 attacks and get the kill. This game is so loving good

btw, since the game never makes it clear: you dont get penalized for resurrecting. its when you fully die and go back to the lantern that dragonrot can happen

Can every move that doesn’t pop up the red danger sign be blocked? I’m trying to get a sense of what I should be dodging and what I should be parrying

Back in the Ashina outskirts, just past the old lady and her son is that gate with the cannon dude on it... from the top of the gate you can grapple over to a hill nearby and if you grapple to the top there's a merchant in a little tent who sells it

Thank you!

In my experience enemies rarely take advantage of the knockdown from a full posture bar. Unless you're fighting a group, then you're probably instasmoked. But in bosses, whatever, let it rip

The instant I figured this out I went from getting my rear end kicked to absolutely styling on genichiro

There are only 2 complaints I have about this game. 1) the ghost village part is kinda lame but its also really short so whatever. 2) you never get a shinobi tool that lets you spit lightning

They’re saving that for the dlc

The biggest thing that worked for me was using nightjar slash to close the gap after he dashes back, especially in the first phase

The BB style and dramatic reveal was still the best in the series, but if we’re evaluating strictly the product at launch Seikiro easily beats BB solely off the loading times

In Training posted:

I parried every boss I could as much as I could bc it was the most fun move in the game to me. But I also liked using umbrella tricks bc they did a fuckload of Damage and look cool

Parrying the full combo from genichiro and then slightly missing the timing on the last hit so it sends you skidding backwards using your sword for balance....ftmfw

Ludwig was definitely the most soul-crushing souls boss for me in that he actually made me put down the game for like a month before I was able to return and beat him, but highest bodycount was ook followed closely by owldad

Scrub-Niggurath
Nov 27, 2007

Owl 2 kicked my rear end so many times before beating his first phase I thought he was going to be the hardest souls boss of all time, but his second phase is basically the same so it ended up being just the hardest boss of this game

Have they announced it yet? It sold so well, I figured it would be announced. Maybe they're not going to do any

If we don’t fight tomoe I will eat my ds4 controller

is there any point in skills that aren't ichimoji/mortal draw. I used the fist flurry thing for a while but it seemed like more of a fun novelty than anything

I found the nightjar slash helped a lot with staying aggressive on owl 1


Thing I learned today: if you kill one of those weird slug nobles in the fountainhead palace after you’ve been drained, you do a unique animation where you eat them like a zombie and it restores your youth

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

the purples are cool with all the kicks but I feel like they become the peak of ‘bait out the thrust then mikiri counter’ routine that you kinda fall into

Also the fight is just insanely sick with him using all these shin obi weapons like the poison and the heal blocker and firecrackers

violently being humbled by his mikri counter after using it for the entire game ftw
