This game is sort of easy for a From game! AND THEN I met Armored swordsman and then Voldo. Armored swordsman killed me like 10 times because I'm a scrub. Voldo (centipede man) killed me at least 3 times and I've got nowhere against him so far. I thought I had purple swordsman (estate or starting pit) sorted out too because I almost got him staggered a couple of nights ago, but I tried again last night about 3 more times and wasn't able to kill him. I also died like a loving idiot to the tougher nightjar people in the temple area if you haven't yet confronted the boss at the top of ashina castle, then yeah, once you get the esoteric text and speak to the meditating monk in the main hall then you're finished for now. you'll come back later to wrap up the zone

Its funny that this game is called Sekiro and in real life people call the main character Sekiro but in the game nobody calls him that except one dude who just makes it up as a joke.

I'm one of the posters who was posting very anxiously about the fact that I wouldn't be able to co-op summon in this game and so wouldn't be able to handle the bosses. Well, it's been quite an experience so far, because every new boss encounter has this ominous "this is it, this is as far as I go in this game" feeling to it at first. Well I'm still in the early game but I'm no longer as sure that the game is going to be as impossible to finish as I thought. The rhythm of the game has begun to really click for me, the back and forth exchanges no longer feel chaotic, I feel in control. Took down Lady Butterfly last night and that's a fight that felt impossible when I first attempted it a few days ago(so impossible that I just moved on to other areas). Genichiro beat me pretty good last night but already after only 3 attempts I feel like I have a pretty good handle on his moveset. I feel confident I can take him down. The crazy thing is that I think the Longarm Centipede miniboss is the encounter that really did it for me, as dumb as that sounds. The game presents you this extreme simplification of the parry system(basically just parry like 10 blows in a row rapid fire), but it was a really effective way of hammering this idea into my stubborn brain that wait a second, yea I can literally just hit the parry button 10 times in a row and parry an entire combo right back into the bosses face. Once that clicked, I became comfortable with that and moved onto learning how to mix a dodge or mikri counter in when necessary(which the same very easy mini-boss also teaches you) and I was off to the races. After having that "breakthrough" I then went off and beat the purple ninja and Lady Butterfly back to back in only a few attempts. And I know I"m not very far into the game yet but at this point I already feel like I've got my money's worth out of it. Much like how I played Dark Souls for like 2 months before ever touching Anor Londo.

Take advantage of that by realizing that his main claw flurry attack always has the same rhythm: 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4-5, 1. Deflect those, jump over his sweep, disembowel him in two minutes tops.

He stood with the Ashina when they claimed this land. I just did that fight in NG+ and forgot about him and after the fight he comes running out screaming his battle cry and then he like slowly looks around and is like "hmm I guess there's nobody here." I laughed.

I came very close but he got hit one last time just before I deathblowed the drunkard - makes me wonder if he definitely must die during the battle or if there's some reward for keeping him standing.

Can you get the Senpou Arts skills before fighting Genichro Ashina? It's crazy how many places you can go to before fighting that boss. Seems I've covered a large majority of the map.

Look Sir Droids posted:Uh, where is purple guy? Did I miss him? I forget the name of the checkpoint but there's one in the first memory right before the burning Hirata Estate -- there's a river you can dive into after grappling from the idol. Swimming up past the bridge onto a small alcove reveals a passage blocked off with bamboo you can cut down (or just walk through, it's just bamboo). Past that point is Purple Guy.
