I tried to run away and bait the jump attack of the final boss to cheese him but I hosed up the timing often enough that it just didn't seem worth it for how long it would have taken.

Just beat the last boss. It's a relief to fight a posture-based fight after downing the optional boss, but I have to say i don't think the mechanics of combat really, really clicked until the last boss. This game is awesome. The surge is free on ps4 and i've been tinkering with it but it's laughably archaic compared to this.

If you won the fight, it was valid.

Yeah I was just getting impatient on NG+ but finally buckled down and played him straight up, deflected his poo poo, and won. He didn't give me much trouble in my first playthrough but in NG+ I let myself get sloppy. Fwiw shadow rush and its upgraded version are both very good for phase two. Keeping just out of range of his attacks and then a quick shadow rush while he's recovering does a lot of vitality damage.

I got the green monkey with the bell but yeah it seemed too easy to just murder all the others on the roof tops. The presence of the invis monkey confused the heck out of me until I read the thing about the boss name in Japanese having a mysterious comma at the end that hints at him.

Ixjuvin posted:The resurrection strike clears as soon as you pick up any amount of resurrective power - the little pink glowies you hoover up from dead guys or from deathblowing bosses. It's not strictly from deathblows. In which case eating a Dragon Blood Droplet would also clear the cooldown, wouldn't it? That's a use for the excess ones right there.

I didn't even think about there being a fourth until I accidentally bumped into something invisible while creeping around. I thought "it's not like this game to have random impassible space" so I attacked it.

My monkeys: Invis? No idea. Must have been when fighting terror droids. Got one near the bell when I rung it and saw him up on the ledge. Jumped down on one when I was chasing him and he went into some room. And the last one landed right in front of me when I was standing on a roof looking for the one I had been chasing. Pretty sure that's not the intended way of taking these guys out.

It's glaringly obvious that the greatest failson of all is the fourth monkey. Killed by hundreds, possibly thousands, with them not even trying.

Yeah I tried the cheese tactic for a while but couldn't make it stick like the videos, so I went all in on parry and deflect and just toughed it out until I got it. It also felt really good to trounce the very first boss in NG+ now that I knew what I was doing.

it's hard to be genichiro you pour your entire life and fortune into defending this hardscrabble little estate from the grasping hands of the larger government, knowing all the while that they only see you as a threat because your crazy granddad keeps sneaking out of his bedroom in a silly mask and cloak to murder people by the score

Any time I tried a "cheese" tactic (like the ones for Butterfly), I just got unceremoniously dunked on. So I more or less just had to learn all the boss patterns and when to be aggressive, when to parry, and when to dodge for some Vitality damage Oxxidation posted:it's hard to be genichiro And all your defensive establishments are wiped out by a single shinobi because you wouldn't stop picking on his little buddy

So, IDK these games are kinda built assuming you will be ruthless and the bosses will every so often just gently caress you in return. Reminds me of: There was a famous Judoka who was notorious for throwing everyone with one throw. One day a guy asked if he could please do something else, as they felt him just doing that one throw over and over was unfair. He responded: "when you stop it I will do something different".

Whatever kills the boss in the least amount of time played is the best strategy imo

Like half its health gone in two hits on Playthrough 6.  With that kind of opening it makes a parry heavy strategy take absolutely no time.

The last two bosses felt like some bullshit, but beating them is a tale of opposite reactions for me. When I beat Demon of Hatred I just felt mostly relieved that it was done with - I did not enjoy that fight. That said, realising who the one-armed demon was when he asked me to finish it was genuinely emotional so that pretty much made that fight a wash for me. Finally beating the Isshin felt amazing. I didn't think it would, because I felt kind of cheesy how I beat him running around and getting in to hit him once - I took down his vitality without ever threatening his posture. I did take Genichiro down with a posture deathblow to start it, at least. I think part of it was that by the end of the fight I had used every item I had - the two Jhinzo statues (didn't end up needing the second one but I didn't want to risk it), my last divine healing item, all my pellets and the precious rice ball. And he was on a sliver of health and I was down to one hit and just, ugh it feels so good. That said, I felt bad about not using the lightning in phase 3 or even really anything except running...but that's actually okay I think, after all, they intentionally left out the stamina bar after all, so I could run forever.

I had the ideal run: snuck the speak monkey first, chased the see monkey to the black room, ruined the eardrums of the listen monkey, then ran around aimlessly killing monkey spectres on the rooftops and getting frustrated until I saw a stray footfprint, had an aha moment, and turned around with deliberate and murderous intent to strike a single and precise blow into the monkeybrain of my diffuse foe.

Need to get a little direction on where to go. I re-met my friend the giant snake and found some bloody chunks that look like fruit. Then I killed the SON OF A BITCH ZOMBIE APE, seriously gently caress that fight expecting to find the path to the next area, but all there was past the fog gate was a flower. Where do I go from here?
