I was too busy dodging to try it You just automatically do a similar attack to what he pulls out, stuns him for a few seconds so you can get some hits in on his vitality and does about half his bar in posture damage. It kinda decides the fight if you manage to do it.

Frog Act posted:So I've just gotten to the castle and I have 8 skill points to spend. I haven't gotten anything from the sword skills book from the Samurai [spoiler] and I've mostly stopped in the other trees after getting basic stuff and the deathblow health. Right now, skill wise, I have: The skill that heals you ten percent on death blow is really fun. It’s on the shinobi skill tree. The samurai tree has good skills (the carp skills) that increases poise damage on and after a successful deflect.

CJacobs posted:You have to jump at the enemy and hit jump again when you collide in the air, it'll make Sekiro do the "pop up in the air" double jump move and then you can do the takedown. You don’t have to face kick the enemy. It might make it a bit easier with certain enemies but you just have to jump while right next to the enemy and the red dot will appear. I think being a bit below the enemy might help? Sakurazuka posted:That reminds me how does the lightning reversal thing it wanted you to use in the third Genishiro phase actually work?

It was insanely awesome and I was freaking out when I finished him off.

JBP posted:On the topic of xp and skill points I've got to say that I've not once regretted investing in nearly all the temple arts. When you kick some loving moron out of the sky and then give them the old m m m monster combo it's amazing. It's also excellent against non monster bosses because your clean hits do enormous amounts of posture damage. I wish I loved the skill more, but it's so situational. Or maybe I'm just using it wrong? Prayer Strike: Exorcism is 100% my jam though.

You just attack after it hits you mid-air and you send out a thundershock that stuns him for a while. It's really good.

When people say “first/second/third Genishiro, are you referring to the first second and third deathblows necessary, or does he have a third phase (four+ necessary death blows total) that I havn’t seen yet? I’m asking because I don’t think I’ve ever been hurt by his lightning after he takes off his armor, and I’m wondering if he uses it more in a later phase.

Are there any skills or upgrades you don't recommend getting, things that feel like kind of a waste of skill points? I've seen a lot of stuff that people do recommend but I'm curious if there are any skills that are less useful than they sound.

if the first stealth boosting passive had any effect on my overall stealth detection rate, it's unnoticeable. but, i think it's only 1 point to pick up, so not a lot of savings there.

It doesn't seem worth it to me over just, you know, dodging away. That one is just me, though, it's up to how effectively you can use it, though. Some people really like it.

The Walrus posted:I'm at work, can you describe? is it just 'use money balloons'? because yeah those things are crazy good just like every other item in the game the money buff applies when you vaccuum up the gold, not when you kill the enemy, so you can clear an entire map of enemies, pop the money balloon, and then run through the entire world and hoover up the bonus gold while the bonus is on. note that this doesn't work with the item drop balloon since that's determined on enemy death.

Just a little bit of time of ringing the demon bell while I was exploring for side areas made upgrading the first few tiers of prosthetic attachments very easy. Definitely recommended to ring that bad boy when you're not trying to fight a boss.

Cardiovorax posted:CharlestonJew said it works differently when you don't resurrect at all and takes 14-15 respawns, so now I'm confused and don't entirely know what to think. it's entirely possible that dragonrot is mandated after you reach a certain part in the story? I only had about 4-5 "true" deaths in my 2nd playthrough before I got dragonrot, but maybe once you reach past a certain point any death triggers it if you don't already have it yet

The first dragonrot might be scripted to trigger more quickly after a certain point since it’s a plot point and the game wants you to learn about it

That point must be incredibly late then because again, I played through the whole first half of the game without a 'real' death and it still took the same number to trigger for the first time. I promise you are all overcomplicating it for no reason. edit: Emma even has a specific Talk prompt dialogue that I got on my stream wherein she describes what the Dragonrot is because you haven't gotten it yet if you manage to get far enough.

My anecdotal evidence about dragonrot is that theres a counter that increases every time you die and when it hits a certain number it activates dragonrot. Its maybe 10 deaths? Killing a boss seems to reset the counter.

Elman posted:Wait are you saying you can ring it then turn it off again, over and over? I thought it was a one time thing. nope, it's at will. it puts an item in your inventory that you can use to turn it off at any time too, so no need to backtrack to the bell except to turn it back on.

The Walrus posted:you missed it Oh ok, I just found that guy last night while re-exploring old areas. Do I have to actually kill that thing (it turbo-murdered me and I have no idea how to deal with it) or is the bell just nearby? I'm usually super thorough in these games but the addition of verticality has really hosed my usual exploration methods, I missed all sorts of things just in the first couple areas.
