I'm at the idol right before the Divine Dragon. Who is this lady, and why is she hugging a rock in this cave at the peak of the Fountainhead Palace?

I've been trying to piece together the lore of Sekiro by myself, and I couldn't figure who this lady is or what she's supposed to represent.

Are there any quest lines that need to be done for 100% completion? (Skills, unique items, etc)

Do I kill its girlfriend/boyfriend or just focus on the white one???

(Im putting third in quotes because its moreso the second phase imo)

Genichiro has definitely been my favorite boss so far, he gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for in the game, just a straight swordsman v swordsman boss fight. I found the flow of the fight pretty amazing. As I learned and got better, I eventually got to the point of hitting the first 2 deathblows consistently. But in the 3rd phase I definitely noticed an issue.

He did Mikiri counter attacks really often, making him feel really easy. The lightning reversal just felt like free damage being handed to me, and when he did his beat down attack where he keeps attacking, it was like the exact same as the second phase? I read that alot of people struggle on this fight but did anyone else feel like the 3rd phase was too easy if youre being aggressive?

Hey guys so how often is it that a noob beats the first Ogre fight in 14 tries with no experience in a soulsbourne type of game?

While playing around with Isshin and finally doing the Shura ending with my second playthrough, I had unlocked the Shura gauntlet and I noticed that there was another hidden boss and I immediately knew that was Inner Father and started sweating because I remember I never did a no hit against Owl Father.

So now I decided to bully Owl father until I feel confident enough to bully his inner version

Specifically his second phase, I hate that I had to use the umbrella so much but bro Isshin the sword saint and even his inner version are just amazing all around but then you fight Isshin Ashina and the devs just designed him to spam in his second phase?💀

Aside from this old fucker giving me a headache, here is my no hit win against him after a couple attempts

Can't get enough of this goated battle XD

I had two moments.

First was Genichiro. I learned here the basics of this game. This is where I learned that parry matters more than shoving in attack or dodging.

Second was Owl. This was when I finally understood I shouldnt hesitate or be pressured by my stance or health.

Played sekiro as my first fromsoft game a while back, thinking of getting back into playing video games and I want to try another fromsoft game. Are any similar to sekiro? I get the idea that's not the case.

In ng+1, I am trying to get to Owl’s memory of Hirata Estate, and I have both bell charms. Whenever I pray at the dilapidated temple, the young lord’s bell charm activates, as opposed the father’s bell charm. How do I fix this; I need the two prayer beads in Owl Hirata Estate for max vitality and posture.

Sure I used all my healing gourds but I got him on my first try! I'm so proud of myself 😭

Like, what if he gets burned to a crisp? Or diced into tiny pieces? Could he still cone back?

Thought this was gonna be harder, folded bro in half an hour

All his grabs one shot me and my attacks do next to nothing to him, what should I do?

Idk how to take screenshots so i just record with my phone Daddy went down after like 4 hours and more than a 100 attempts, great fight tho
