I keep dying on Lady Butterfly and I can't believe this is the first boss I've encountered. Christ. She's a bonus boss. Do the usual Fromsoft business and come back to her when you've powered up a bit.

What sort of stuff does the spear work on? Any heavily-armoured enemy, or just certain particular ones?

Any tips on the big shotgun dudes you encounter every so often? They're challenging enough to fight directly that I feel there must be a weakness they've got that I'm missing.

Yeah, I know 'just backstab them' is the standard protocol for tough enemies in Sekiro, but hanging out waiting for dudes to get bored and wander off is tedious, and most of them have some way for you to eliminate them fairly quickly and easily in a straight fight (the blue samurai have firecrackers and the Mikiri counter, the little hat guys have the Loaded Axe, and so on). Was just wondering about the shotgun folks.

Motherfucker posted:The gently caress do you do about the weird centipede monk guys, the dead ones that don't... die? You can save those immortal monks for later. You'll get a tool at the end of the area that helps you with them. If you want to temporarily bring them down so you can grab the items they're guarding, fire is useful. Also, I got the Fresh Serpent Viscera. Christ, that was wild.

I must say, annihilating big groups of fragile enemies like the temple monks and Hirata Estate bandits with the shuriken dash never stops being satisfying.

I don't see why I'd ever throw a shuriken at anything that wasn't a dog because that wastes a perfectly good .5 of a firecracker Because shuriken-R1 is a very powerful, long-ranged dash attack that lets you carve your way through hordes of enemies ridiculously fast.

Yeah, the red-eyed samurai gets completely wrecked if you have the flame vent and Living Force. It's actually kind of hilarious - all that perfect martial discipline goes straight out the window and you're locked in a room with a scrawny little dude wearing very flammable clothes.

Paramemetic posted:Okay just got to Corrupted Monk, have done it 4 times now. Gonna give my hot takes: I'm sure there's a second phase because I only see one healthbar on her and I doubt they're gonna be that merciful. The fight itself is pretty cool, she has good moves and they're learnable and there's good back and forth and punishes for being too aggressive which is a neat thing. But you do an absolutely stupid small amount of damage without confetti and that's dumb, endurance matches are dumb. It is absolutely tedious that I'm gonna spend 40 minutes chipping this health until her posture regen slows down so I can see phase 2 and probably get clowned. She's tough because there is no Phase 2. Also, use shuriken - she's really bad at defending herself from ranged attacks. The purple umbrella may help too.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:are any of the prosthetic upgrades worth it? i've been upgrading them but I never seem to mess with anything except their basic ability. Absolutely. Many of them, like the axe and shuriken, get useful health/posture damage bonuses, and some get really powerful extra abilities - the purple umbrella, for instance, trivialises apparition-type enemies (and the red umbrella is very useful against a late-game superboss).

Stay close to his less mutated leg (your left, his right), block his stomps, jump away from his perilous attacks, run away from his leaping explosion (and then grapple him when he comes back down), sprint up when he leaps away, use the Suzaku umbrella to block flame attacks, and use the Malcontent to paralyse him (only works three times, but useful for burning down his third phase when you're out of resources).

An umbrella is the best option for the scream, though, because then you can immediately counterattack once he stops screaming. He's also an Apparition when headless, so the purple umbrella's ambush strike fucks him up real good.

The Sean posted:gently caress, man. I've gotten better since the last I posted. I did the same area for like an hour and gave up. Came back the next day and cleared it no problem. For that, you want the Shinobi Axe. It's in the Hirata Estate, in one of the side-areas at the opposite end of the path the first shielded enemies appear on.

Maybe he's really bad with a spear and it's an ironic nickname like calling a really fat guy slim. It means he carries someone else's spear. Presumably, he was an attendant of one of the Ashina Seven Spears.

It sure would help a lot with Geni since I often eat poo poo once in his first phase, but in the lightning phase it never gives me that second res. She gives you an item that you need to give to either Kuro or a certain NPC in Senpou Temple (it doesn't matter which you choose, the effect is the same).
