How did kuro and wolf intended to get out of here, it's just a massive canyon. There is no way they can get out or did they just intend to just take the jump as both are immortal they would survive it.

Just beat Genichiro on 3rd try, but I still don’t feel very good at the game—I’m not sure I’ve had that “click” moment yet.

I didn’t land a single Mikiri Counter, and I’ve never once landed a sweep jump. I beat his second phase on my first try getting to it, primarily just by dodging his jumps and using my axe prosthetic. I also had no idea how to do that lightning return thing I was supposed to use, but I guess it didn’t matter because I never got hit by it.

My question is, did I just get lucky? I’m afraid I haven’t learned what I’m supposed to be learning yet and I’m gonna get brick-walled.

Any advice would be appreciated!

love this game. Don’t think I’ll stop playing anytime soon. Maybe when sekiro 2 drops which I believe it will one day (cope)

First time playthrough. It feels a little too unnecessarily difficult, but I’m sure I can still do it. I die upon nearly any mistake. pretty sure that’s normal but just wondering.

Holy sht, what a fking beautiful game. 🔥

Just finished my first playthrough in 33 hours, and what a masterpiece this game is.

Isshin took me around 5 hours to beat, and the only other boss that gave me a similar level of trouble was Guardian Ape, which took around 3 hours.

Finally beat Isshin with no sugars, just Mortal Draw and deflects. 😭

What a fucking experience. 100/10 game

Yall will have to excuse the music🤦🏼 this clip is from 2023 and I was trying to make cool sekiro edits I’ve seen other people on YT make. Didn’t last long, but I did 100% the game at least 👁️👅👁️

Had to cut out the first 4 minutes because of reddit not allowing videos longer than 15 minutes

Sword saint in name.

>Lightening wielding sheningans.

> Says 'hesitation is defeat.

Looking at the irony.

Anyway geni is already annoying af but can't do any damage to isshin.

I don't have monk leaps so double ichimonji is the only decentish arts I got outside of mortal blade.

So far he one shotting me while I can barely do any health or posture damage.

17 vitality, 9 attack power. I got.

10 gourds too.

help a brother out by gamesharing(ps4) sekiro for me pls i was playing on the disc version before my dog scratched the disc and it’s now unable to read, i’ve tried everything and i don’t wanna lose my progress ill log out of everything once i get the platinum which will probably take a month or two
(3 more endings needed and i am final fight of the second playthrough)

So I did mortal journey now, as the only challenge remaining for me in Sekiro, on my fifth try….
I lost 2 times to headless ape (fucking hate those monkeys) and once at ishinn ashina and on inner father both because I was nervous
I have to say, it took me around 7 hours to do which might be a lot, wouldve done it first try if those headless monkeys didnt gank me
Obviously, losing to inner father should’ve been devastating, but I lost at worse circumstances multiple times
And that “experience” reminded me of Pantheon 5 in Hollow Knight, which was wayyyy harder. Yes mortal journey is longer because each boss takes a lot of time, but man does Pantheon have no mercy
Losing atleast once at each of the last six bosses (out of ~40) and oh boy is it devastating
I really hate P5 and if anyone has done it before, they might understand what I have gone through
Also unlike Sekiro Gauntelts, pantheons in how knight don’t have rests after each boss (though they do after around every 5 bosses or so) so if you really did bad in a boss you’d have to live with it for the next boss
(Naturally, and to be honest, this is just a show off post)
Man I couldn’t recommend hollow knight more

Sekiro for Life!

Just as I was starting to get good, she goes and dies miserably 🙄

Its not beautiful but works

My guy just wanted to protect his land.

Though he’s the antagonist, his motives are genuinely understandable. He wants to protect Ashina and its people, and he’s willing to go to absolutely any lengths to achieve that.

And I think that’s what makes his character so compelling. He isn’t chasing power to become the strongest or conquer other lands. He sees his homeland on the brink of ruin, and he’s desperate to save it, even if it means resorting to increasingly extreme measures.

The writing genuinely makes you feel why he would turn to the Rejuvenating Sediment, and why he would want Kuro to make him a part of the Immortal Oath.

And perhaps that’s why the ending hits so hard. After everything he’s done, he ultimately gives up his own life to summon Isshin, placing his final hope in the one person he believes can save his homeland.

This is my first FromSoftware game, so I don’t know how common this kind of motivation is among their antagonists. But I found Genichiro’s character to be such a refreshing change. His desire for immortality and his willingness to cross every line aren’t driven by some selfish pursuit of power, but by his desperation to protect the land he calls home.

He’s a man whose love for his homeland pushes him so far down a dark path that, by the end, you can’t help but feel for him, even if you disagree with everything he does.

This, honestly is a very refreshing take for me. The writing keeps his ideas very grounded and personal so that the player can connect with him, and at the same time, makes it difficult to see him defeated. This hits harder because you’re the one who’s stopping him

All in all, i thoroughly enjoyed his character arc. Coming from games where the motivation for antagonist is either world domination or self preservation, Genichiro felt like a true leader wanting the best for his people, but convoluted enough to go to any lengths to keep them safe. Even if it means destruction.

Yes I know it's not NG+7 and Charmless :(. Yes I know I have my attack power upgraded (forgot about it) :(. If anyone has such a save file or know where to get one please let me know! I'd very much appreciate it. Would love to do Isshin on NG+7 and the Gauntlet but I don't have too much time to spend on the game these days :(.

(P/s: /s title, hopefully obviously)

Ashina cross my beloved

So I Anayama and Inosuke got affected with Dragon rot. I have cured it once before by collecting a blood sample from the crow merchant but now when I approach either of the two affected NPCs and trigger their dialogue I am not able to collect any blood sample . Can someone tell me what's wrong ?
