How to Git Gud at Sekiro

Extra advice for boss fights: keep holding block unless you're trying to move somewhere or you're attacking. Your posture recovers way more quickly while you're blocking and you can still parry from a blocking stance. Simply release the button and quickly press it again. That way there's a only a very small window where your block isn't up so you probably won't get hit even if you're late to react.

Why play a game made by a studio known for difficult games if you are going to complain that it is hard ? Your tears fuel me!

Man i really needed to hear this, been playing the game for a few days and dear god it can be unkind to old darksouls/bloodborn players but after listening to this i will start again from the beginning with what i now know, cheers for this more then helpful video :)

Thank you for dropping this.

Another tip for boss fights. Get some health damage in on the boss first before focusing on trying to take down their posture. Every boss has an absurd amount of posture recovery at full health so it helps to get their health down first so that the posture damage you've worked so hard on for the last minute doesn't go back to 0 after a few seconds of no fighting. Also, using shurikens can help you to interrupt an enemy trying to recover posture at range. If you see an enemy/boss trying to recover, hit them with a shuriken if you cant make it to them in time.

Decent tip:In regards to money(sen), always buy the pouches from merchants whenever possible. You will lose a lot of money from dying a bunch, so spend money to save money.

Still stuck on Lady Butterfly. Sad day. Big ooof

This game has been a jarring transition from Soulsborne for me so this video is just what the doctor ordered. Hopefully I can turn some of what I didn’t know until seeing this into progress

I cannot emphasize the countering in this game. Nothing makes you panic faster than seeing the symbol for an incoming devastating attack. Mikiri Counter is a MUST just for this reason. You can jump on an enemy's head when they perform a sweeping devastating attack to do posture damage equal to the Mikiri counter. Also, you can deflect these attacks! The only one I haven't been able to figure out are the devastating grabs, but most time you can just run out of grabbing distance. I've beaten Sekiro three times, with the 3rd time being the MUCH shorter version. The "Shura" ending that is. Then I accidentally deleted my save files and had to start over from scratch because I want the achievements

Sekiro is easier than darksouls, because of the generous counter system learning character patterns of attacks is key plus stealth/cheese in situations but mostly learning that taking a break and trying again later is key with tough bosses. I cannot tell you the amount of times that I have overcome an especially hard bosses like owl, sculpture and Isshin. Each of them I took a break for few hours or a day the muscle memory kicked in making the boss beatable.

Annnd we're back to IG on the site being silent for several days. Is this going to be a regular pattern?

so you guys only uploading to youTube now?
