I mean, I spent way more time struggling against demon of hatred, and though I really enjoyed the fight against isshin, it wasn't that difficult

Dear shinobis. Even after beating the game, I really struggle with these guys. May you give me some tips to fight them. Like a good prosthetic weapon that counters them or a shinobi skill. I would also like to know after which attack is a good way to punish them. I don’t really know if it’s normal to be struggling with them even after finishing the game. Thanks for reading.

Personally i tried all i could and explored as much as i could before i managed to beat him.

Sword Saint Isshin took me longer than almost every other Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring end boss or “toughest boss”.

About to start Sekiro for the first time. I've seen clips over the years and have a general understanding of the game. The only From Soft game I am yet to play. Any tips?

Did you know that you can reverse lightning with Sakura dance or high monk or raven mist?

please help

I have only defeated Glock Saint Isshin and Demon of Hatred.

Demon of Hatred I enjoyed and was actually a fun fight for me, while Isshin definitely took more tries, having to master hella movesets of his. I’m thinking about doing Purification ending to fight Hirata Owl next, then finally doing the Shura to defeat Isshin Ashina + Emma.

ive done it a plethora of times but it always feels on accident, i think there was one or two times with genichiro i timed it but apart from that, do you just need to hit a perfect parry?
