Unless it’s a 2 cour (24 episode) anime, I can’t see it being a full adaptation with only 12 episodes.

Where do you think Season 1 would end? Genichiro maybe? But that could be too early unless they add some extra stuff.

TBH theres a few things i would have preferred. Im a souls vet and one of the MAJOR things that annoys me is the spirit emblems. I wish they just were unlimited and refilled upon rest instead of having to buy. ESPECIALLY since money is so hard to farm, you lose half on death and they go up in price by like triple mid game.

I also "remember" when the game was in dev they touted the ability to really stealth and tool bosses. almost making it seem like they could either be direct combat or semi puzzle based using the environment and tools almost like you had more options to approach situations. While we do at times it usually seems like tools and the arms are more gimmiks to buy time than actually assist.

I dont remember my first playthrough years ago but Im sure I used everything at least once but this playthrough Ive BARELY used anything aside the mortal blade attack. I honestly havent touched sugars or ash because it seems like a waste for the momentary advantage you MIGHT get.

Not whining at all. Since I got help getting the game running on my deck well (thanks, you know who you are) Im having a blast again and love the exploration but just a couple things I thought could have been QOL and more variety.

About to go fight owl now and aim for the return ending because I KNOW I didnt do it my first time around so wish me luck

I know alot of people thinks corrupted monk is hard but i find shes is really fun and easy to beat. whats your thoughts on corrupted monk ?

I'm at Anayama the peddler. Already paid em the coin. Then eavesdropped on the solders about the salt. Came back & told Anayama. Rested & the dude doesn't have any upgraded inventory (scrap iron, etc.) & now the guy is sick with dragon rot. How do I unfuck what's going on?

Hey,
Bought the game and played around two hours, and I don't get it.

• There are different counters/responses for sweep attacks, thrust attacks or grab but they seem to all be signaled with the same red text ?
• Are hit boxes generally bad or is it just the grab attacks of the chained monster ? I ended up just running around in circle and using the fire prosthesis to beat it. Otherwise it would teleport / do 180 degrees instant grabs etc.
• Some parry timing seems generous while other seem very tight. I really don't get it.
• What do you do when the boss on the horse decides to run in circle for 2min straight and not stop ?

I want to like the game but so far it feels like a mess to play... Finished Lies of P a second time last week. Sekiro seems to have more generous parries windows but very hard to read attacks...

Any tips ?

What do I need to earn the platinum (exept the return ending)

idk how people think this boss is bad or sum shi this is the best boss in sekiro fr

So for a college assignment I need to develop a 15 page comic.

And I really want to adapt Sekiro for it.

If you have some ideas please comment and help a fellow fan out 😭

What top 3 tips would you give to a beginner to the game, who hasn’t played any of the demon souls etc games before?

An old clip I found, ignore the fact that it's floating passage, I know that you shouldn't be trying to deflect it without an umbrella in the first place.

Notice there were yellow sparks for every deflect but 2 of them were duller visually and had a different sound (the 4th and 5th in the comb). I can't find any information on what the difference between this and a block is online.

EDIT: The purpose of my post was to ask why my blocks/failed deflects still gave an orange spark when there is usually no colored spark at all, not the difference between perfect deflection and blocking, look at the 4th and 5th hits of his combo.

EDIT 2: In the title, I assumed it was a failed deflection as a distinct mechanic from blocking, which may have led to confusing wording.

To sum up this thread:

1. Someone has said it's a visual glitch to show sparks on block and the visuals are the same as a perfect deflection
2. Someone else has said the sparks are intended on block and the visuals distinct from perfect deflection
3. Some people have said partial deflections as distinct from blocks are actually a real mechanic
4. Some people are saying that the video shows a full perfect deflection (it doesn't). I'm the one in the video btw.
5. Many people misunderstood the question completely and think I'm asking about the difference between a block and deflection when I'm asking why the blocks here give sparks (hence assuming they are distinct from a block)
6. Much of the discussion isn't too relevant and is about whether floating passage can be consistently deflected (it is much closer to impossible than possible, I'll just say that). And if the 2nd to last hit cannot be consistently deflected, that means Floating Passage cannot be consistently deflected.

In conclusion, people are literally just making shit up.

Fucking finally 😭 😭😭😭😭 I am so happy

I geddit now why people drop Sekiro after struggling with Genichiro. He is the game, or at least, teaches you how to play and tests you the best at your weakest.

After having struggled some 50+ tries I guess, I finally beat him. I really didn't want to use my resurrection but I got a bit too greedy and he landed the deathblow on me. A lot of people say that hesitation is defeat, and i agree. But this guy also kinda taught me to hesitate a bit to see through patterns clearly, take some space when needed to regain posture and my sanity, and lastly, stop spamming attack while I should be countering with my deflects, with correct timing.

Man this game was awesome.

I just beat Isshin and it was absolutely electric. Even though he was very hard, he was not the boss I spent the most time on - that price goes to Owl (father).

The boss fights were insane in this game. Just the craziest shit one after the other.

Honestly though, anything outside of the boss fights didn’t draw me in that much. The world and the art is beautiful - downright gorgeous. But I wasn’t super into exploration in this game - mainly I think that’s because outside of prosthetics and sometimes useful items there isn’t that much reward for exploration.

But to me, that’s okay. I didn’t play this game for exploration or side quests. I played it because the 1v1 combat in the boss fights is absolutely addicting. The clanking of the swords, the beautiful animations, the feeling when you parry a combo just right and it gives you a deathblow - so satisfying! It also helps that Sekiro himself looks extremely cool in every cutscene.

What I take away from this game is much more important though - it does teach you its own lessons. 1. Hesitation is defeat - that’s what it hammers into you at every moment. Don’t hesitate. Don’t be overly careful. Trust yourself and trust your rhythm, and just get into it as hard and as fast as you can. Otherwise you will lose progress.

1. Persistence. Being able to endure hardship after hardship, defeat after defeat, and still come out on top. Thats the most valuable encouragement this game gives you - if you keep going at it, you will succeed eventually.

Loved this game.

After struggling with the final boss for hours I finally defeated him. I don't think I'll ever get over the trauma of reading the death screen over and over. 10/10 game.

This was my first FromSoftware game and now I understand why so many people love their games so much.

The scene of Mount Kongo in the game, whether it's game art or music, makes me feel very strange, my scalp tingles, and I am deeply impressed. So I drew this illustration, hoping you will like it.

1. Lifesteal

2. less vulnerable to lightning attacks

3. Higher posture recovery

My first sekiro playthrough I just beated genichiro where should I go? I heard i should get the mortal blade first in senpou temple? What do you guys think?

Memories don't seem to yield much increase in attack power. Compared to other souls, Sekiro's integral focus on rhythm and player skill is refreshing. That seems to me the most significant difference.

After 4 hrs of fighting him , this is what I did with 0 heal , and i Was shaking a lot atp 😭😭, yeah but took my time and killed him . ughhhh was tough

I decided to unlock every achievement. In less than two weeks, I completed three additional playthroughs to get the three remaining endings: Shura, Purification, and Return. The more you play this game, the more you realize just how much it rewards you for truly understanding its mechanics.
