Can you complete it the Owl in it in 22 minutes? No? Thought not. |

I was trying a cheese method from Youtube but the attack is so slow to come out and Owl darts about so much I couldn’t get it to connect for 95% of the time. Mind you, he died, so fuck that guy. I reckon I could probably take him normally now anyway and in about a third of the time... |

All mini-bosses and optional bosses deadid. Turns out I didn’t even need to do Owl for the ending I was going for. Tch. All Schimen Priest what’s its deadid. All headless deadid. Bodged one quest up but it allowed me to do another quest instead. Missed about two different endings to two separate quests but they weren’t much to write home about. Well, apart from the guy who gives you a shop discount...gutted about that one. Rinsed every area but somehow missed 4 prayer beads. Haven’t fully upgraded a single prosthetic due to money worries. Completed one set of ninja skills, didn’t get very far on the others but hardly used any special moves apart from the mortal blade. Got a few important latent skills, mind. Found all the textbooks for all the skill trees. I’m happy with my progress throughout. Lord knows how long I’ve been playing it but it must be well over 50 hours now. It’s been awesome. And frustrating in part. Fountainhead Palace was fucking aces though. Loved that area. |

Quote: All I've heard is that the combat system is the most punishing they've ever come up with and so, despite the stealth and quick traversing, it's by far their hardest game. What you’ve heard was correct. Mind you, like DS&BB, you can always run by most enemies who aren’t bosses if they’re pissing you off to crack on with the rest of the game. Not me though, I’ve killed everyone I’ve met at least once ... apart from 3 nightjar ninja in one corridor beneath the Owl fight. I meant to go back and slice em up but forgot about it until it was too late. They were the hardest fuckers in the entire game. It’s just the bosses for the most part that are the cunts of the game because everything else can be approached in multiple ways. There’s even this mechanic later in the game where you can get two opposing groups to fight each other and just sit back and fight the winner or try and wear them both down, which was new for Souls games. But you can also use a puppeteer power where if you backstab someone they fight for you for a short while before dying. You can send them off to scrap or act as diversions while you hide at a safe distance and it’s great. There’s loads to help you out and it makes it one of the most fun Souls games to nob about in. But there’s so many bosses and mini bosses that it gets real serious real quickly. Without the coop mechanic to have strangers come and help you out I can easily see your casual gamer not seeing most of Sekiro, which is a real shame. |

Final boss is decidedly less cunty than Owl. Still a pain in the arse which I’ve been butting heads with for a couple of hours but he’s definitely doable. Even with his FOUR SODDING PHASES. |

I may play this. one day. IF its a PSN Plus game. And the other games are shit. Otherwise, nah. not interested. Also it is clearly not a Soulsborne game as it lacks several key features of those games. It is a harder Tenchu. |

Quote: It is a harder Tenchu. No it isn’t. Anyhoo, 4 stage boss killed and I’m done. That was fucking awesome. The game that is but the end boss sure was a great fight too. I honestly thought the game was going to beat me into submission but I made it my bitch. |

I'm pretty poor at it, thus far. Still figuring it out. (that being my second session, and the first I was so very jetlagged I don't really recall much of it at all) It is quite fun, though. Alas, No whips. But a cool grapply rope which is a bit whip like. |

Well, 9 months later, and I've finally beat the first proper boss. (Only reached it today too, only took 4 or so attempts) At this rate I might be done by 2030. |

Some videos of me being marginally less incompetent Really not sure why this was seen as a major roadblock. Seems to be easily defeated by running to the side. ------ This person though, was a right arse to beat. Until I gave up trying to be skillful and just mashed the block button. ------ This one, though, I beat first time (having run away the first time I encountered them due to not wanting to lose accrued stuff). I was quite fortunate, it seems, to have the poison sword equipped having just upgraded it and wanting to try it, as it seems to work very well on this person. Indeed, this seems to be the ONLY person it's effective on. Wasn't effective on his brother though. Still waiting on the WHIP playthrough. |

Post subject: | Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice |
I wonder what happened there. That poison guy gave me loads of jip and took multiple attempts. Monkey fight 1 is my highlight of the entire game though. It seems insurmountable at first and he’s fast as fuck and has some annoying AoE moves but when you learn him he’s a piece of piss. And then stage 2 happens. Such a good fight. Monkey fight 2 is disappointingly recycled with none of the grandeur of the first fight. The arena is just a fucking empty cave. Tch. Owl can eat a dick. |
Author: | Mr Dave [ Sun Apr 05, 2020 23:49 ] |
Post subject: | Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice |
That was about the 7th attempt, I'd guess. I'm guessing I managed to push him out of his area and the AI didn't cope. Owl can, indeed, eat a dick.He seems to be able to teleport over the entire arena such is his speedand getting up close just leads to almost immediate overwhelmingSure I'll figure out something only for the second phase to be even more bastardly (Not aways the case, monkey 2 were much easier) and then find he has a third phase, just to spite me. |

Post subject: | Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice |
Owl can now stop eating dicks. Because he is dead. Again. Was only meant to be a small attempt to see how close I could get without triggering his start, so to apply buffs. Which, as one might see in earlier attempts (on youtube shortly), are quite effective. But somewhere along the line I just got the timing down and stopped taking damage so... |
Author: | Mr Dave [ Mon Nov 02, 2020 2:03 ] |
Post subject: | Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice |
So it turns out they've released a patch for this. Which among other things introduces a new fight against owl father, which is even harder with surprise new attacks. I think Satsuma needs to beat him if he wants to be No. 1 gaymer. |
