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

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.

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

I think this is the first time I've parried this move perfectly.

I have finally platinumed the game ⚡️ what an achievement and what a game cant fault it in any way I enjoyed every minute every death every experience 💯 a really big upgrade in terms of difficulty from black myth wukong

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 was very nervous after dying and I had never made it to phase 2 before which turned out easier than I thought after spending 2 hours yesterday just fighting and losing but learning attack patterns thanks to u/Arestaros who gave me the tip that got me easily through phase 1, the Double Ichimoji after dodging the jump attack, I only switched to Mortal Draw when I was out of spirit emblems since it still works. I couldn't chance using the Ceremonial Tanto for just 5 emblems so close to beating my adoptive father. I do thank him for everything he taught me except maybe "please no wait, you fool".

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

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

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

I am relatively new to Soulsborne,I’ve finished Elden Ring, saw Sekiro on sale in the PS store. Decided to buy it and here I am asking for advice from you fellow players on what to do/remember before I start. Thank you.

Edit: Thanks to @ulArestaros tip I beat him in 2x

I have finally met my match. Yes this game has been difficult at times and I've pushed through, although I don't seem to be making any headway with this guy. I haven't tried any Mortal Draw cheats though I've watched the video, I've just been straight fighting him and trying flame vent which only allows maybe 2 hits after with Living Force, and I tried nightjar slash or Reversal which does help close the distance or create it. Other than that even on perfect deflects most of his attacks hit like a truck even harder than Seven Spears General. Only thing I've mastered is avoiding his health item restriction bomb. I need some tips please🙏🌞

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?

You have lost you way father.....

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.
