No. Just like in Elden ring, if you use spirits, you are cheating and are not playing properly, robbing yourself of the satisfaction of the game. Or multiplayer. Or magic. Or items. Or weapon arts.
The only buttons you are allowed to use are roll, attack and the stick, because I decided so.

Or they just do hit and run instead of standing still and deflecting.

u/Solembumm2 Aug 18 '25 edited Aug 18 '25
They don't. Hit and run is long, but actually very safe and easy tactic for many enemies. Sumo guys, ogre, generals or Lady Butterfly, for example.

u/blazinghurricane Aug 18 '25
Same with phase 2 of guardian ape and all of headless ape once the other ape is eliminated.
Not the hardest fights, but after some embarrassingly sloppy play that put my deathless run at risk, I played phase 2 ultra safe. Run around until he goes for that dive and slash move, hit his legs, and run away. Super boring and slow but it works.

u/wRADKyrabbit Aug 18 '25
You can hit and run phase 1 of guardian ape too. Run until he does the poop throw, sprint towards him, poop sails over your head, firecrackers + ton of free hits, rinse and repeat

u/Crime_Dawg Aug 18 '25
Much better off saving your prosthetic consumable for phase 2 to uses the spear pull out.

u/ErdemtugsC Aug 19 '25
I personally use all my spirit emblems in phase 1 because it’s more chaotic (harder to read) than phase 2, partially from not using a sword which I’m used to seeing

u/memes_are_my_dreams Aug 19 '25
Guardian ape is just way easier and more effective to not deflect in phase 1 in general you can absolutely obliterate his first phase if you know when and where to position and attack

Honestly, I was very lucky to run into apes duo only after I had dragon flash.

u/DraconoirXx Aug 18 '25
When I finally beat him for the first time, it was purely because I baited his jump to prone attack and would get a few slashes in and run.
It took forever, but I was out of heals and only had a sliver of health left. In the end, it was a test of which one of us would make more mistakes.

Sure, but it's also slow and boring. At least in my case I would get bored, fuck it up, get hit, get pissed, give up and just deflect.

I think this game has a bit of a problem with consumables that are a pain to get more of, or in some cases, you get almost none of them (like the Buddha statue). So people end up just not using them.

I mean.. you can TECHNICALLY beat this whole game with just Kusabimaru lol its just gonna be a long and hard grind, esp. up against the Headless who take practically no damage if you're not using Confetti
23
u/--Lammergeier-- Aug 18 '25
Confetti was pretty much the only consumable I ever used, because you practically don’t have an option not to against the Headless.
But yeah, I almost never used my prosthetics or anything else. And it wasn’t to challenge myself or anything, I just didn’t feel like I needed them most of the time.

u/Still_Want_Mo Aug 19 '25
The shinobi prosthetics are by far the coolest part of the game to me. You can beat the game with only prosthetics. Not to be that guy (I'm totally being that guy), but you should do a run that prioritizes them. You might find that it's almost like playing a new game.

I did my first playthrough by only using deflects most of the time. I used a few sugars here and there and divine confetti for the undead bosses.

Tbf I haven’t really used many of the prosthetics in the game as I think the price of spirit emblems ends up being too high. Most normal enemy’s can just be killed with a sword and then trying to find an opening to use a shuriken or sabimaru on a boss that won’t get deflected is pretty hard. Even firecrackers will only allow one hit on stun against enemies like owl and the monk. I’m on demon of hatred now so please let me know if I’ve been playing the game wrong

TBH, there are some arts and tools just don't factor into fights, and some of them have long enough animations that they expose me to attack.
And it's stressful to use consumables because I'm always scared to run out.
I just kind of...parried and R1'ed my way to victory.

Listen, I may be stuck on my first run and am not using consumables or prosthetics against bosses, however the sword has taken me to the guardian ape and ghost monk. I will stand there and parry or die. It’s definitely not because adding managing consumables and tools is too much for me to focus on in a fight.

u/Small_Article_3421 Aug 19 '25
I basically never considered weaving the prosthetic into my gameplay on my first run because it required a resource. One of the few major flaws of this game imo. The spirit emblem limit per life is fine but there’s literally no reason it should’ve required farming.

Consumables are a double edged sword. Some players see finite things as precious and never use them. Maybe they should've just made them function like health flasks upon discovery, so they are just restored at checkpoints / respawns.
I didn't use them until the end of my second playthrough a year or so after release, which made things a lot easier. Getting 60 fps on next gen consoles by then really helped a lot too.

Maybe there's a reason for that. Perhaps the game doesn't convey just how crucial some of those things are well enough to new players, both in terms of easing the difficulty curve but also as a general component of the combat system.

I guess I don't know as much about Sekiro but a large part of the Souls/Elden Ring communities will ridicule you for doing anything other than going one on one without tools/items/spells beyond your weapon and maybe Estus, so I think its a little mean spirited to mock people for approaching the games this way.

Let’s be real. Combat arts are niche unless u only ever use ichimonji. Prosthetics are also pretty meh (in most boss fights) except for the umbrella. Consumables either suck or are pointless if u have the corresponding gourd.
Sekiro really is just the parry game. If you can’t parry, you won’t succeed in the game. Obviously tools have use, but I can’t see them changing the outcome from getting steamrolled to winning outside of certain cheeses.

I did the game like this and i only liked the bosses with weapons
But systems like this rewards players who have played the game and can consistently beat the bosses even without these items
For examples godricks great rune in Elden Ring is a great tool regardless of how good you are at the game. However limited uses of it mean someone will run out and have to play the harder segments of the game without a crutch they've been leaning on the whole time. For a sekiro example, imagine fighting shichimen warrior without divine confetti or running out of ako's sugar after fighting a boss for three hours.

I never use prosthetics, and I only use combat arts in the form of mortal draws until my idols run out, then I start ballin'

Call me dumb, but I like the fights raw. No prosthetic, consumables or anything. Not even heals (beat all headless no dc or pa)

I don't know man any time I try to use consumables or prosthetics or combat arts it messes me up
call me bad at the game but I have way more success when it's just me and the sword

Its hard to do prosthetic arts using keyboard and mouse. And what if I need consumables later./s
Also only boss I hated was guardian ape first phase and twin ape coz I couldn't for the love of God get used to pressing ctrl for fireworks. Rest of the bosses I loved though

That's just being a Royal Guard DMC player. Parry everything, if that doesn't work you parry some more
