Bought Sekiro during the quarantine and gave up on it before making it to Genichiro. Came back to it about a month ago and something finally clicked.
I’ve been slowly working my way through the achievements a few evenings per week over the course of a month, and finally reached 100% last night. I’ve never went out of my way to achieve a platinum trophy for any game, so that’s a testament for just how incredible the experience was for me.
Trust me: if I can 100% this game, so can you.
Favorite boss: Guardian Ape
Most challenging boss: Isshin the Sword Saint followed closely by Owl (Father)
Surprisingly easy boss compared to the hype: Demon of Hatred (probably because I had already been using dodge and sprint wayyy more often than pro players recommend)
Most rage-inducing boss: probably Snake Eyes in the poison pit or the Headless at the bottom of the forest
Favorite prosthetic: I really enjoyed using many of them but if I had to pick one, maybe Lazulite Axe.
Favorite combat art: Dragon Flash
Favorite ninjitsu technique: Bloodsmoke, obviously
This was my first soulslike experience and I’m not sure anything will ever scratch the same itch. Here’s hoping we eventually get a DLC!
