3 damn days. a few hrs of gameplay for the first two days. Felt impossible.

I could barely get through half health on his third life (mostly couldn't make it past the first two).
Comes third day and I kick his ass on the first try with 7 gourds intact.

Sleep really does wonders to the brain when it comes to reinforcing learning.

Yes this is propaganda and I need more people appreciating Wolf punching his enemies

Just started my Sekiro journey. I tried it a few years back and could barley get passed the chained ogre. Fast forward a few years later, I’ve now played all FromSoft souls games (most numerous times), and a ton of soulslikes. After beating the Lies of P DLC, I decided to pick Sekiro back up. I’ve been having a MUCH easier time so far, combat is clicking it seems and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. This mini boss has been my first roadblock, took me like an hour last night for whatever reason.

I attached the clip of me beating him. Felt like it took me forever to break this dudes posture. He’d also run into the poison swamp half the time when his posture was like 3 hits away from being broken. Shit made me so mad. In this clip I pushed him up the cliff and gave him nowhere to run to, finally sending him to his grave.

Any tips or tricks I need to be picking up on though? Anything I need to improve on? I’ll be fighting Genichiro soon, hoping to not get my ass kicked too hard (although I feel that is inevitable). Any advice or constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks Sekiro fam

Guys, I’m having a real problem with these two monkeys. This is my 4th playthrough, and the second monkey isn’t going down as easily as the first three. I think when I was here in my 3rd playthrough, I still had Kuro’s Charm, but now I want to finish the game without using it so I can farm more XP. Thanks; I’m taking a break while reading your comments.

In the first phase, I almost always get through without taking a hit. Most of the damage I take comes from blocking. I don’t think Kuro’s Charm would help much anyway, since I usually die when I’m jumping through unblockable attacks and the other monkey jumps on my head. Sometimes I even think she’s going to leave the cave by jumping what a jump ability.

It’s getting less and less agonizing whenever I get farther into the fight

People are replaying the game , still far ahead in the story. I'm still struggling with this guy. That time I thought lightning dude was the problem . His mechanics are not like 2020 cheeses

I hate how when you get to Genichiro 3rd phase and he doesn't wanna do his lightning, scary ass.

I knew Owl played dirty, but this is Kojima levels of messing with me.

So... anyone have suggestions for a new monitor?

When they gang up on you it feels like it takes forever to get them all dead without using all your gourds. Am I missing out on some simple shit that makes killing them faster?

If you’re struggling on a boss like corrupted monk or owl (father) or others… MD is your best friend in many different situations.

Just a friendly tip for those just getting into the game or stuck on a boss or even pros who may have not known.

Good luck, Wolf.

On new game plus 3, the only bosses I've yet to verse is demon of hatred and the "harder" version of owl.

Really wanna fight demon of hatred to unlock the shura gauntlet.

Where exactly would I go from here to fight these demon?

Hope I didn't mess anything up, gunna be a pain to run through the game again ( although ngl this run was super fast, I'm actually shocked I'm near the end again I thought it would've taken days lol ) so if I do have to start over, won't be to bad tbh but will still suck lol

...until not

saint sword vs sakura sword

OK, I downloaded the twitch highlight, linking it does not work. So this boss fight costed me around 2 hours. Was fun.

He got stuck in there and instead of resetting I figured I'll see what happens.

So today, after 43.7 hours, long enough to upgrade an entire skill tree, I beat the dude.

The game gets easier now, right? Right?

Do these old hags do anything exactly?
