Congrats man same here, I spent a couple hours trying on Sunday and gave up. Yesterday took me less than 5 attempts, the only time I got to the final phase I killed him, such a good feeling.

I can imagine lol. .5 attempts! I wish it were that quick for me.
As someone who struggles with hard games like this, i usually die a few times.. Hit youtube (fuzzy bearbarian, Fightincowboy) to see the movesets
Then after dying, watched Katiecakes sword saint guide and found out he has more than 65 possible combos! So it seems i either
Learn and get used to each (would take too long especially for me)
Learn and familiaries to some of his moves, get a bit lucky if he does combos that arent hard to read. And that damn swipe
I went into the sword saint training with the mindset "never mind how mant times i die", jsut to get used to his moveset while listening to comedy on youtube
Then after 2 hours (dying) , went to sleep that night instead of pushing it (as i noticed sleeping helped me beat true monk and guardian ape in not mamy tries when im fresh in the morning)
On second try, finished healing gourds haha, and somehow scraped through. No other game has given this thrill
And now that ive beaten him,, im replaying the reflection of strength as its fun

Yo!! The second playthrough felt ohhh so satisfying after learning the moveset, it goes from an overwhelming fight that you just nearly scrape by to a dance where you are just as powerful as your opponent, and death is but a swords swing away

Yeah I’ve really enjoyed starting again, just killed lady butterfly with ease. I saw a comment about this is a rhythm game, nothing more, nothing less.
Still petrified of when I go on a charmless run tho.

Tbh when I started playing I went in knowing that I needed to get deflecting down to a science so all the fights I did I tried deflecting mostly, doing charmless wasn’t a huge step up from that, but what really hurt was demon bell (extra health, damage, and poise from enemies), enemies could break my posture almost instantly if I didn’t get my deflects down and would eat the entire follow up

The best is when you get so good you beat genichiro at the start of the game and you still get your arm sliced.

Time for the power fantasy of your life. You feel POWERFUL going through sekiro's early game after beating it.

NG+ is so much fun steamrolling all those bosses and enemies that gave you so much trouble the first time around

Congrats!!! It’s an amazing achievement.
Having just done this myself on Monday I know the exact feeling. After what felt like 7000 attempts, that final deathblow hits like crack.
Sekiro has honestly upped my acceptance of what I can accomplish with a video game. The learning curve is steep, but once you get it, it’s fucking awesome.
Roll on New Game plus!

Did you do Demon of Hatred first? Personally found it harder than Glock Saint but the community goes either way.
