This game is real fun. The first giant rooster I ran into I just was so happy and excited to see it. Then later I found another animal that was just a little bit larger than they usually are. One thing, as a big Dark Souls player, is I'm loving how loving easy it is to kill DOGS. One shuriken!!! blap

areyoucontagious posted:I can’t beat general tenzen yamauchi. Cannot do it. Guess this is where I’m done. What a silly, easy boss to eat poo poo on. 9 tries at this point. Every time he sweeps I roll, every time he thrusts I just take it. gently caress Is that the Samurai guy in the courtyard after the chained ogre guy? Honestly I didn't mess around with fancy tactics for that guy and the one before him, I just kind of kept my distance and got in attacks. Also it helps a lot to sneak attack him before you start the fight, then you only have to get one deathblow.

Cowcaster posted:i just want to add some more wild guesses to the pile about the demon bell, having fought the snakeeyes sisters and mister giraffe with it on: i think it might both tighten the perfect deflect window and also greatly increase posture damage when it's on. i took care of giraffe's identical twin brother without even batting an eye earlier on, but on the rematch he kept poise breaking me and i kept flubbing my deflects despite knowing his attack pattern by heart. Is there a giraffe in this game? That would be sick.

I just beat Lady Butterflyand dang that was tough. I kind of figured out a sort of cheesy method to beat her, though. I found that if you just spam the Nightjar combat art, the one where you flip into the air, closing the distance with an attack, she can't get any moves in. You can get through the entire first phase without her doing anything. It did fail a few times when she would get backed into a wall or pillar, but you could easily start again. The second phase it didn't work as well because she has a move where she summons two projectiles that is fast enough that you can't stop. Also the apparition summon you can't interrupt. Also she seemed just a bit faster in general. But the Nightjar assault spam still works ok, you just need to run around. Which was perfectly fine with me cause it meant it was still a legit boss fight. I died a lot. I feel good about the Burning Bull, it took me like two tries. Be a matador.

I just killed mr Giraffe, what a great boss. You walk in there and he just annihilates you and it's terrifying. Then I realize he's got basically two attacks. The flurry and the sweepy swipe. If you just tap the deflect button in the right rhythm you will bounce him away, then he swipes at you and you jump on his head. You do that two times and his posture breaks, and repeat again! He went from an absolutely monstrous boss that I ran away from for a while into something I can kill easy! That's a great feeling.

I really like how generous this game is about falling off cliffs. I noticed it first with the trees you'd jump on, but the game doesn't let you walk off cliffs to your death. At any point, in combat or otherwise.

morallyobjected posted:am I crazy or can you deflect the grab attack from Snake Eyes? felt like I got out of it a couple times but maybe there's just an attack that looks the same I noticed that if you're far enough away when they start it, and you're blocking, then the tip of their spear thing will bounce off your sword. Usually I was like backstepping away and put up my sword at the end of it.

I'm having a good time trying to kill Genichiro but my tv screen is doing this thing where it turns itself off for a moment. Only happens with some Xbox games, and seems to happen randomly. Like I can go for hours with it not happening and then it'll start happening constantly. Insanely aggravating!!! I'm 99% positive it's not the wires. I guess it's just my lovely discount Xbox.

CJacobs posted:So, when you folks speak of eavesdropping on NPCs (friendly NPCs, I mean), do you get a prompt to do that? Are there specific points at which you can do it? Or can you just hit the down button to eavesdrop whenever and I've just never tried it? Unrelated, but you were talking about the poison prosthetic attack and it turns out it takes 3 hits to poison the dojo master near the top of ashina castle. I'm not sure it was super helpful overall because he already kind of took a lot of posture damage, but it was nice to have him at like half health or so while fighting him.

Hanbei, the training dummy guy, is also called "the infested", so he's probably related to them in some way.rio posted:Is there any reason to go back to the main storyline where I am now? Last boss I beat was the bull, well lady butterfly but I’m not sure if that is main story or optional. I’ve just been totally sidetracked and am currently in the temple, just saved for the night at an idol inside a door guarded by three of those harder temple enemies, two back to back and one patrolling. Not sure of their names, they have straw hats, are fairly tall and double sided weapons. Inside is a monk to talk to but he has centipedes crawling on him like the enemy ones do . I’m mainly wondering if for either concrete reasons like getting items through the main story or other reasons like continuity if I should head back to the story tomorrow night or just keep doing random poo poo. How did you get there?

CRAYON posted:The elite samurai near the top of the castle was awesome and I wish I had a combat art like his Himura Kenshin draw technique. The first time I fought him I thought it was really difficult and was going to take me awhile to figure out. Then the second time I noticed the glint of light which gives away the deflect timing and he was dead in like 20 seconds. Genichiro is great, you just gotta keep attacking! Vengeance for your arm!

The Skeleton King posted:Not sure how far in I’ve gotten, but right now I’ve finally gotten my 8th prayer bead and have 4 gourd uses. Haven’t beaten lady butterfly. The first phase seems to take up to 3 or 4 minutes before I can finally land the death blow, by which point I’ve hosed up too many times and run out of healing items. Is there a better way to build posture damage than just basic sword moves? It seems to take ages and I only have so long until I gently caress up and take huge damage. The arm tools seem far too slow other than the shuriken which seems far superior to the other tools since it can stun bosses out of attacks and doesn’t make you easy to kill while using it. Do you have Nightjar slash? Just spam that at her.

Augus posted:Depends entirely on the person. Learning the mechanics can be a big uphill battle, especially if you’re stuck in the mindset that you should be playing this game the same way you play Dark Souls. Once everything really clicks though, the game can feel a bit more on the easy side yeah. Which is probably why there’s not one but two different Champion’s Covenant type difficulty modifiers you can add onto the game. Yeah I keep reactively spamming B for dodge and it really is not effective. The mikuri counter needs better timing than just button mashing when you see the icon.

JBP posted:Which part of the game are you up to? There are basically easy little circuits you can do from an idol at every stage of the game. Especially ones that start you behind the enemy so you can run out and just get a heap of stealth kills then reset. A good one I've found, and I haven't killed G yet, is the gun fort idol, the guys with big guns give 297 each and the guys with little guns give like 160 something. Three guys with big guns and like four little ones is like 1500ish XP which is pretty good for a pretty quick run. They don't really drop anything good though, mostly antidotes and rarely a pellet. With the gold balloon it gave me like 500 sen which is ok.

Stick near his feet and use dodge to move away from his attacks.

I'm just having a real difficult time successfully beating genichiro, I think it has to do with a lot of things but most importantly I just often don't do the right thing in response to what he's doing. Like I get the mikiri counter on him a third of the time even though I know exactly what I'm doing wrong. Then I get nervous and gently caress up. I can get him into the last phase a third of the time but then I just gently caress up. I know I'll beat him but I don't know about the rest of the game lol. At least I've explored a decent bit of the game so far. I think I got as far as I can go in Senpou temple before beating genichiro, since I found some skeletal NPC guy in a temple but can't seem to find a way forward from there. Also those crawling mini-giraffe guys are shockingly easy to kill, just jump and more than half the time you get the option to deathblow them.

SubponticatePoster posted:Can somebody give me some tips for that gun bitch on the mountain? If I try to jump out of the grab, she snags me in midair. If I dodge it she's too far away to attack and then she shoots me in the face. She blocks everything I throw at her. Firecrackers only work for 1 hit. She does such ridiculous posture damage if I block a combo I'm screwed. The "I can turn 180 degrees instantly and shoot you out of the air" doesn't loving help either. If you run past her onto the bridge she'll half drop aggro and you can get a stealth deathblow. I used the poison knife prosthetic, takes two full combos to poison her but it does a decent amount of posture and then vitality. I really disliked fighting that miniboss.

The most important thing to me in Sekiro is that in all directions there are impassable mountains. That's one of my favorite things from the Souls games. Unfortunately there is not also a giant body of water nearby. I don't like to spoil myself on things, but I noticed a giant mountain off in the distance that has its top covered in clouds. Will I ever go there?
