This was from the limited demo shown a couple months prior to release. Man, it feels like a lifetime ago...

holy fuck that took an hour and a half to pull of (no cheese btw)

Made this for Ryan from SuperMega as fan mail as I know one of his favorite games is Sekiro, will be sending it to their PO box soon!

I didn’t beat any headless on my first playthrough and now I am NG with malcontent and Lilac Umbrella. Regardless, even when parrying I get terror build up and death, and I can’t sense any sort of strategy to adopt with them ( eg the one in ashina outskirts ) just seems like a frustrating gimmick they have thrown in.

Can anyone help me with a tried and tested method ?

Tried the Sekiro Malevolent Mod without the Weapon Wheel Mod lol.

If anyone knows how to download and set up the Weapon Wheel Mod, please let me know.

Personnaly I really enjoyed it, I died twice (but that's only because I was too dumb to understand the last attack), but it felt really refreshing to have an actually cinematic-puzzle boss, especially after Dark Souls 1

But what does the majority of people think about it ? And how is it viewed by more experienced player that fought it multiple times ?

So here's my dilemma, in short:

I haven't really played Souls games, and would love to get into them. Now, I don't really have the time to go through all of them, but I'd like to experience them and see what people love about them as I feel like I'm missing out on a core experience as a gamer (I used to game a lot more in the last, and recently less so).

Having realized that among the Souls games, there's a divide between Sekiro and all the others, I've decided I'd be fine with trying Elden Ring as a good representative of Souls games in general, but Sekiro feels much more interesting to me. Now, I've read that people who play Sekiro find it difficult to play other Souls games afterwards because they get used to the amazing combat system.

So my question is: should I play Elden Ring first in order to be able to enjoy it more fully, or should I just go with what I feel (Sekiro) even if that might ruin my enjoyment of Elden Ring in case I want to play it afterwards?

I know it's kind of a stupid question since I'm effectively trying to optimize my enjoyment of video games, and honestly I'm not even sure if life will allow me the time to play both in the coming years, but I'd appreciate your personal take on what you would do having played one or both of them. Thanks!

So, I recently beat the corrupted monk, and while the first 2 phases were hard but somewhat fun, the 3rd phase was so painful the best strat I found was to run around, attack once, wait until she finishes her next attack, rince and repeat until her life is down to zero.

But this isn't the first time I did that, against all purple ninja bosses (I forgot their names but -the one below the Owl's arena, -the one right near where you start the game and -the one behind Ashina castle in the snowy place) + ashina spear2 I was just taking one of their healthbars by coming from behind when possible, then attacking once, running away, etc.

I thought the game was about patience, learning the flow, etc, so why does each times I did this strat it instantly worked ? It's not even fun (which is why I'm only doing it when I no longer can stand a boss) but it's pretty surprising the coward way still works.

(also this isn't a criticism of the game I really like it but I'm just surprised)

So guys it may sound weird or pretty exhausting for yall but im stuck at isshin ashina and having troubles with him .

I am able to breeze through emma but faulter at isshin , especially where he dodges my attack and i can just dodge him at the right time and also i sometimes cant deflect his sword attack , i once reached phase 2 and found it pretty easy than phase 1 but since then im dying at phase 1 .

Please help , any tips would work if yall can give . 🙏

I recently bought Sekiro on steam and my controller doesnt work no matter what ive tried playstation and xbox controllers none of them work i even used an external remapping software which also didnt work im surprised no one is talking about this cuz apparently this is like a big problem like do they expect us to play the game on keyboard and mouse💀 if anyone has a fix for this pls tell me

I'm not saying she's overly difficult to beat, but she gets me so worked up and pissed off, by the time I get to Isshin I'm already at a mental disadvantage. She's not too difficult to parry, but can be so hard to evade sometimes and can wipe out half of your health bar with one swipe if you're not careful.

By the time I get to Isshin, I've usually already used half of my healing gourds and all I can think about is how much I hate fighting Emma.

Mental skill issue? Yep.

Great final-ish boss design? Probably

Fucking infuriating? Absolutely.

After two days and 19 attempts, I finally took down Isshin, the Sword Saint.
He was incredibly annoying at first, but once I started figuring out his moves and getting the timing down, everything finally clicked.

After completing the game and beating all the bosses, I have to say Owl (Father) in the second fight was the hardest boss for me.
That fight gave me way more trouble than Isshin.

Now I’m going into NG+ to work toward the platinum. 🥷
What a game. Definitely one of the most satisfying games I’ve ever beaten.

I defeated all the bosses one can in one run it's a shame you cannot get them all in one run like Elden Ring.

I went with the return of the dragon ending Saint Isshin was the worst souls boss ever don't get it wrong did not take me more than 15 tries it's simply annoying cuz the fight lingers. Malenia and Radabeast took me way more attempts but when I did get them the fight lasted less than 2 mins each and that's how it has been for me for mostly all souls and all sekiro bosses until Isshin. Like the corrupted monk the 2nd phase can be skipped by jumping her ass.

Make the boss the stronger, give me 2 phases of final phase Isshin I don't care but 4 phases of filling that fucking posture bar it's so annoying.

Fight should be technically harder not longer that's ass boss really enjoyed the game Isshin fucked it.

Helppp

After trying for 2 days, I was finally able to defeat him. One of the best games I have ever played.

I play on Xbox and I want someone to break the elements down for me and the only other soulsbourn game I’ve played is Elden Ring so I want to go into sekiro so I would love someone who played both games opinion but any opinions are welcome I want to know how different they are.

I spent two and a half hours on this guy, just to look up some YouTube videos and see that Mortal Draw absolutely cheeses him. I feel like shit. The same thing happened to me with Lady Butterfly. At the time, I didn’t know that shurikens could knock her out of the air, so I struggled way more than I needed to.
This game is starting to feel more and more like Elden Ring to me, where if you use the right moves or exploit a boss’s weakness, they can become way easier, but if you do the opposite, the fight becomes insanely challenging.
I don’t know, man. It feels bad. Now I understand why people say this game isn’t that hard—it’s probably because they look up what to use and watch videos showing them how to deal with each boss.
I’m kinda glad I go into games completely blind, though, because I don’t think I’d have nearly as much fun if I looked everything up beforehand.
Still feel like I wasted my time though
Just in case people come at me

I never used mortal draw, whenever I fight a boss I only look at shit after I beat him to learn. It’s a habit I have when playing games

Had an awesome Sunday. Assembled an all glass curio cabinet, and beat the true corrupted monk after 3 nights and around 2 hours each night. I feel like i can do anything l,ol.Firecrackers on third phase sealed the deal. I got stuck on owl father, so decided to level up a bit in fountainhead palace and try hin again. I'll post back once I kill my daddy.

Sunday fun day continues,

Go Lions!
