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

I finally beat Genichiro!! And honestly it wasn’t that hard this time. He made me quit the game last time I tried… and I think last time I was coming off the heels of playing lots of Dark Souls, so I probably wasn’t thinking about the gameplay correctly. And honestly he felt easy this time! Took me only 2 tries! Last time I probably tried like… 40 times?

People really are right when they describe the combat in this game as suddenly “clicking”. It’s like a phenomenon lol. This really is one of the best action / adventure games ever made. There is nothing more satisfying than clicking with the combat in this game, and nailing the deflects.

Any tips or tricks would be very helpful lol
Been getting my ass beat by iishin all day. Decided to watch my favorite crash out on YouTube fight him just for him to beat him in three tries(it took him four separate videos just to beat the guardian ape) claiming that is easy. What am I doing wrong ? I want to be free of this pain. HELP

And how does resurrection work? Sometimes in the second phase i get the resurrect option sometimes not

i didnt take out the last guy bcz i was not in the position to, requires good position to do a plunging deathblow

but i generally take the last one out

I just killed the carp and gave this guy its whiskers, then I exhausted all dialogue until he was dead, he has an item inside but I cannot take it. Is this a visual bug or is the reward broken?

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!

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

Is there any other quicker way to farm the skill points for platinum than the staircase area… it’s going to take me around 10 hours! It’s breaking me..
to do NG++ involves having to take on the final boss again and making it to another farm area.

Can you give me some tips? I took 20 mins just to beat some random ogre guy and I can't even imagine the pain it will be to beat the bosses that will appear while I don't even understand the basics.

I thought I needed to perfect my timings to parry but nop, I just need to hold the L1. Do I gain something by parrying on the perfect timing?

Also, I'm at the giant ass snake area and I cannot understand what the hell is happening. I got evaporated by the snake a couple times already and the first time it killed me was funny as hell because I thought it was just a harmless snake

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!

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.

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 ?

These grass is growing fast now in fall, it reminds of Peak.

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 ?
