Finally O'Rin can easily be beaten via posture damage without confetti, she does drop a bead.
I've given up on lord Genichiro. My leet skills may have taken me through Friede and Gael, but this is just too much.
I gave both Friede and Gael 30+ attempts, never could beat them. I beat Genichiro in 10, with 3 gourds left. Unlike Friede and Gael, who are all about fast reflexes and generally being gud, Genichiro is all about staying aggressive, beat his ass constantly and only side step away when he does his jumping attack.
The spectral monk is THE STUPIDEST FUCKING FIGHT in all videogame history. It fucking takes like 20 minutes because you can only do damage when she turns her back towards you, so only after certain rare-ish moves. OR you can farm the confetti for 2 hours for a single boss run. What a gigantically idiotic fight. Fuck you From.
what boss?The boss that awaits you after you beat Monk and Ape keeps raeping me so hard. Gotta say, towards the end the game is tiresome more than anything else. Huge, extremely long and difficult fights one after another. It's like someone constantly pummeling you in the head while you play.
Purple fags seem to be made with the only purpose of making the player rage. They are not even hard, but the map where they make you fight them... Jeez. The one hidden in hirata state and the one in the reservoir, tight spaces, shitty camera angles, corners to get stuck... Cheap and annoying af.
Judging people's habit and labeling them as no-lifer based on a post in which they don't praise the so damn praised From Software because of some dumb (in my opinion) decisions is rather stupid.
Just to be clear, since I got lumped into this post, I didn't call you a no-lifer. I think you can play a lot of videogames, be passionate about them, and still have a life beyond them. I was just curious what compelled you to play so much while saying you hate the game. Thank you for the explanation! I think you have some good points, but I would say that one thing I disagree with is the comment stating progression with a boss is based on luck. I think Genichiro is the perfect example of this for me, because you actually have to learn the mechanics and his particular moveset intimately to beat that fight. I really don't think luck could get you through it. Maybe there are bosses beyond that where luck factors in, but when I see comments like this, I feel like it's because the player is stubbornly beating their head against what they think they've learned from the game, instead of trying to find if something new needs learning.
Anyway, I'm sorry that you and others didn't get the From game you were looking forward too. That legitimately makes me sad, cause I know how much people were anticipating it. Hope the next one does better for you.
While I do think it's very hard it's still a very long distance from those top of the line bullet hell shmups and arcade games in general which, in modern times, tend to be fair, but tuned to the difficulty of Japanese autistic supermen that can practice the same stage for weeks at a time.
Sadly I don't quite have the reflexes I used to have and sometimes Sekiro really does demand you deduce the coming attack in 0.2 seconds and react correctly. My neurons don't fire that fast!
I beat Butterfly but every time she used slash, I rolled and got hit. By the time I told my brain, dude this isn't DS, jump! I was already hit. And that attack doesn't come out that fast.
Still having a lot of fun. I'm now struggling with stairs spear lord and well ninja camera.

Which Owl boss are you fighting (name at top left)? (There's two versions depending on choices - and there's 2 unique bosses in one of the paths)I don't want to fight Owl anymore, pleeease game don't make me. The usual trick - staying aggressive - doesn't work coz he does such a shitton of posture damage. You block four, five of his strikes and you're done.
So the fight amounts to rock-paper-scissors kindda thing - countering precisely his bag of tricks. With a pinpoint precision. For half an hour. I'm sick of this HP bloat bullshit. It's a huge stain on my incredible experience in the game. It's like you fight a boss like Owl and then you need a holiday. This is taking the souls philosophy too far.
The Centipede, the horror. I've spent 2 hours on this bullshit running around him.
I wasted all my spirit emblem but I could not do enough damage to take him down. And one combo = dead. Fuck my life.
I get stuck on bosses because it seems that I'm old. I know what I have to do but I cannot press the keys fast enough. Sad realization.
Edit: I'm retarded
You can win the fight by spamming parry :/ Wtf.
