I got 6 of them on my lunch break and the final two will have to wait until I can revisit the estate in NG+ pretty sure the stairwell you're thinking of is the same one I used to get that achievement - where the chained ogre used to be, right? but that said, if you're going to play through ng+ anyway, just do it then. more exp than doing it in ng and you'll pick up a few spare skill points just playing through again

I’d just keep rushing bosses on subsequent NG+ runs. I got the platinum last week after Genichiro on NG+3. Once you’re on the last few XP you need 70-80k per level and the bosses give 20-30k themselves. The game only takes a few hours to go through if you skip past picking up all the ceramic shards and pellets.

Near the endgame and realized I'm missing one final prayer bead. Discovered it's the one in the attic above Tengu. Guess who's blocking my path with a fog gate to get it. Finally got him down to his last life but my foolproof bullshit strategy of simply mortal drawing my way through isn't working as well as it has the rest of the game. Gets his first life bar down to 50% immediately though. Main life drainer seems to be not being able to run away fast enough when he jumps up for the stomp; guessing I'll have to unlock the camera for it.

Run away and jump just before he lands to avoid the shockwave. Then immediately use the grapple point that appears on him to zip back and punish.

I recorded a DoH phase 1 a week ago cause I was bored. The jump is 13 seconds in, you just need to recognize all the fire and run straight at the camera. No unlocking required. https://streamable.com/utvs4m (I was rusty please excuse all the missed parries)

i think i’ve got phase one down with being in his face and getting perfect deflects + double ichi. i ..think.. i’ve got phase two figured out with mortal draw as long as i can time his overhead jump correctly. still haven’t beaten phase two yet tho. almost did this morning

I just used the flame umbrella for Demon of Hatred's belly flop attack. I had a way harder time with his charge because I could not stop trying to dodge it instead of just jumping clear.

So, uh... the new Sakura Dance Combat Skill is... um... well... it's really good. Holy poo poo. It's really, really good. I can definitely see why it was locked behind Gauntlet of Strength because, yeah, obviously. loving just... *gesturing incredulously* That's a 1 SP skill, is it? Okay. On an unrelated note, I'm making my way through NG+ because I never got the total bastard ending the first time around and I'm trying to play the game differently from how I did the first time through. One thing I've been wondering is what Prosthetics everyone carries around as their general-purpose loadout. I always defaulted to Shuriken, Spring-loaded Firecracker, and Magnetic Umbrella, but that is getting pretty boring and stale on a second playthrough, but I barely experimented with Prosthetics. I'm really not sure what's even good or generally useful outside of those three.

i’m gonna be honest i think variations of shuriken, long spark, and umbrella are all that i’ve ever touched. i hear the lazulite poison dagger is alright. i haven’t even tried the whistle or the leaf, etc and i don’t know what they’re good for lol on an unrelated note, i spent 40-50 hours beating the game for the first time and immediately dove into NG+ and i’ve almost completed the game again already for the purification ending. wild how that works

Divine abduction is really strong once you get the knack of it, it lets you backstab loads of stuff immediately. It also instantly deletes monks. This isn’t an exaggeration it just one shots them

Mist raven is just ultra dodge. You have to get the timing right. Use it when about to get hit and you’ll scoot through the enemy to hit them from the flank (also works for lightning reversal). When fully upgraded it does fire damage as well.

You can also use contact poison with it, the weak rear end poison item 'hits' for minimal damage but let's you trigger mist raven whenever you want.

I think I spent about 2 hours on Jinsuke and finally beat him, I understood the strategy and watched videos of the fight and of course they make the deflections look really easy and simply but it really isn't.

It's been about a year since I platinum'd this. Thinking it's time to play again~ I wasn't here for updates, I remember they added some boss rushes and player messages/death ghosts - anything else?

Last night I got Isshin to his final deathblow, and I hit the capture button forgetting how many deathblows he had and nearly died as he recovered. Luckily I had a revive left so one lighting reversal and he was dead again. It was pretty funny.

Sakura Dance is great and makes sweeps a joke. Also it combos with axe prosthetic in midair.
