Inner Genichiro rules. Got my rear end kicked by Fire Isshin from lack of practice and havent found who the second new(?) boss on the second gauntlet might be (Emma is sadly still a mere speed bump despite being cool as poo poo) Do the boss gauntlets scale with your NG+ count? My only save file is at like NG+4 and I'd rather play them with a balanced level first. Also wish I could get the Kuro Charm only for certain bosses.

lmao Inner Genichiro reflecting my reflected lightning back at me like Ganondorf rules gently caress his stupid spiral cloud passage combo though and how he won't let me just walk backwards out of its range anymore e: i wish i could try and beat the gauntlets with the charm and then give the charm back to try without it Shear Modulus fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Nov 10, 2020 |

In Inner Genichiro phase 3 are you unable to dodge forward to get under the third attack in the big cyclone move? I've died a few times to it now but I'm not sure if I'm just screwing up the timing. e: agree that charmless rules. Parrying in sekiro is fair unlike in dark souls because you have to time your button presses to the enemy's attacks instead of their attacks plus some mysterious number of lag frames.

yergacheffe posted:That attack tracks much better than in his other phases. Before, you could dash under and he would straight up miss you, but in phase 3 it seems like he's gonna hit no matter what so your timing has to be good enough to either iframe it or deflect. I switched to parrying the third hit and then figured out that if you do so then after parrying it you have enough time during his recovery animation to bonk him twice with the Ichimonji Double. This was the last trick I needed to figure out to be able to beat him. Its a good boss fight.

The infected people don't ever die. The only mechanical downsides are losing the unseen aid chance and if a quest npc is infected you won't be able to advance their quest until you cure them. I only ignored it when I was grinding at a boss because I really wanted the unseen aid. The doodads you use to cure everyone are sold by merchants for like 200 money so they're not expensive.

I've got like 3500 and want to spend it before taking on Juzou or Gyobu. the money sacks exist so that you can save your money before a boss battle in exchange for a 10% fee did you get the expensive knife thing from the ex-bandit peddler?

i killed the stair general by doing a plunging deathblow to take out his first lifebar then ran around and wailed on the musket guys since you can break their posture after maybe three hits combined with a bunch of dashing around to try and evade the occasional musket shot and also when the general got too close

Yeah Genichiro's signature multi-hit combo is the same combo the fountainhead palace enemies use and also one of the hidden skills you get (I think you get it from one of the pot guys) whose flavor text says it was a move tomoe used. Emma's Ashina Cross having crazy range and being at a perfect 90 degree angle compared to Isshin's and Wolf's both having shorter range and looking much sloppier (especially wolf's) is pretty cool. Isshin's signature move though is clearly shooting you with a gun

Oscar Wild posted:Final Gen you should be able to beat untouched. He's so aggressive he just about posture breaks himself. You just have to stay calm and watch out you don't mess up a perilous attack. The scary parts are that you might flub a parry in his long combo and take damage if you don't have the charm and also after you parry his jump stab he sometimes does a sweep when you expect a thrust

bike tory posted:Ape feels very different to other bosses I think mostly because he doesn't really react to your attacks. Most Sekiro bosses are forced into a defense->counter attack moveset but ape launches into the same attack patterns regardless of what you're doing. It makes him easier to predict but also more frustrating to land hits on imo. Inner Genichiro discovers the ability to tank your attacks during the windup to his super move and that was the reason i got hit by him like 90% of the time

what i don't get is what happened to the previous divine heir whose notes kuro finds because aren't the divine heirs supposed to be immortal? and why wasn't tomoe able to get the mortal blade when sekiro shows up and asks for it and the false divine child just hands it over without asking any questions

Oscar Wild posted:So if I'm understanding correctly, Isshin is the dead end of his clan dynasty and Kurt is a magical boy who can extend the Ashina clan dynasty forever, and Genichiro is trying to make that happen. the setting is that isshin's samurai clan (in this context basically a group of feudal warlords) staged a rebellion against the "central ministry" which i guess is supposed to be shogunate and broke their territory free from the central ministry's control. but since he's old and infirm now the central ministry feels confident enough to try and retake the area. you can find central ministry spies scouting out the region in advance of a military assault throughout the game genichiro is functionally the clan head now since isshin is ill but he thinks he and the clan can't fend off the central ministry without using kuro's blood and is trying to convince kuro to give him the immortality that sekiro has, which he thinks will let him beat back the central ministry

World War Mammories posted:we do know the red one's status back then: the senpou monks still had it hidden, based on tomoe's note. if you get to the senpou main temple before beating genichiro then the head monk is there (he's clearly infested, he has centipedes crawling into and out of his body) and he says he's very ashamed of having to seal the false divine child away in the inner sanctum. i assume she's upset about that. i think the head monk had decided he didn't want to keep doing the "corrupted in search of immortality" that the rest of the monks are seemingly still committed to
