You will have to come here at some point, might as well do it now!
What the hell Isshin, my god, I don't know if I can do it
Alright, like in Dark Souls 3 then. Thanks!
You definitely don't have to yet. I took me sweet ass time exploring and upgrading myself and returned later to fuck her up.
Use the firecracker prosthetic for free hits.
I actually got horse boss on my first try! Lady Butterfly I tried about 10 times, "beat her", only to realize I only got her first form, got to her second form and got demoralized and quit.
Try Nightjar Slash spam. It's like the ability was made specifically for her.
Final boss spoilers
seriously, dude is HARD. It took me a few hours to get through. I had to parry perfectly to get through. I felt exhausted after
Can't wait to see more reactions to this
Mh there is another thing that's...well...
The demon of hatred is the sculptor from the temple. He always said he's different, and that the rot doesn't do anything to him, and he turned into a beast....I dunno, seems weird.
You can certainly proceed if you wish to, but yeah, you're not "supposed" to be there yet. I am honestly amazed you beat that...
Snake Eyes bastard, I think that and Headless
So...is fully upgrading the Sabimaru (poison blade) worth it?
I just upgrade it for the first time and it's a huge disappointment, basically you get a different moveset that's harder to activate that does the exact same fucking thing.
Should I keep upgrading it? Does it get much better later? I really like how this thing looks.

Amazing visuals.
Will I get a prompt later to go to New Game+? There's still some stuff I'd like to do after beating the game
The hitbox for that move is stupid so just run and pray. If you're strafing when he starts, run to the side, and if he does it otherwise you can try running backwards. But neither is consistent because of how big it is.
Yeah can someone help here? I tried several things but none had a 100% chance success (they fail sometimes).
nothing yet, nothing yet, not yet, no.
sprint under him always worked for me, its super punishable.

(for those with jp va)
She gets completely locked by a basic attack into a dodge being repeated. It's actually pretty hilarious.
First off, I've never really liked/played many stealth games nor character action games. The former I hated wonky detection/exploration aspect, the latter I hated the reflex heavy nature/difficulty of those games. Despite all this, I really wanted to give From's next title after Bloodborne a shot.
I'm only 4 mini-bosses in so far (amazed seeing people beating this nearly/already beating this - kudos to those of you that have). And I'm not gonna lie, just the first mini-boss I thought that maybe I have no business playing this game.
That first mini boss (General) absolutely destroyed me. Repeatedly. I'm pretty sure I died here 15-20 times (certainly over 10). I naturally followed the "commonly suggested" play tactic of going in aggressively and deflecting as much as possible only to see my posture drain greatly while his barely went down. Somehow I eventually got through this fight.
Then I beat the Ogre and the first mini-boss in Hirata Estate barely dying. I thought hey, maybe I'm finally starting to get the hang of things.
Then the Second General (Yamauchi?) happened. I wound up beating him with 4 deaths, but I completely changed my play-style on my 4th and (successful) 5th attempts. Instead of going in, I just dodged all his attacks and went in for one attack or two. I also pulled off a couple of Mikiri Counters, here. Instead of feeling frustrated by my seemingly slow reflexes as I had previously been, I had very little issue beating him this way.
I also messed up the stealth attack on my successful attempt and wound up taking both bars off of him in actual combat. Amazing what a small difference in play style made for the difficulty in the fight for me.
Now I just have to get through the Drunkard and hopefully my first real boss, or two. I don't know how far I'm going to be able to get, but I'm definitely going to stick with it as long as I'm able to. All these comments of having to go in and always deflect have me a bit worried - but as I saw with the Second General, maybe there are other ways of playing and playing successfully (although going in was useful against the Ogre/first mini-boss in Hirata estate).
The game is certainly very difficult (for me) and definitely frustrating at times, but I think that hook of believing that winning is possible is still there for me (just as it was with what I played of Bloodborne, my only real previous SoulsBourne experience). Glad that I've stuck with it through the weekend and at least made at least a little bit of progress.
One tip that I just learned that I wish the game had explicitly stated is that staying in a blocking stance makes posture regen faster than not being in a blocking stance. I found this out on a tip video and would have never discovered this on my own, as I never previously entered blocking stances.

Fight him like a Bloodborne boss. Stay out of his way, wait for it to whiff and attack and punish.
Thanks again! Now I can move forward without worrying I'm missing something.
IMO this game has the best fights From ever did. Of course if you neglect the mechanics and try to cheese them out is not very fun. That's like saying Dark Souls fights sucks because you can stay in the back and throw lightning spells until bosses dies.
If you want to know the simple answer:
Yes, you can
If you want the solution:
The door opens from the other side only, it's barred from the inside. You have to get into the castle and back down to unlock the shortcut essentially.
Keep exploring either way.
You can proceed through the castle area by exploring the rooftops.
After attempting Genichiro 4 times last night, fell asleep, beat him on my first try today. That felt good!
You can roll credits and then it prompts you for NG+ if you choose NO you can freely explore and start NG+ from the idol in the hub.
If I could give one tip it would really be emphasizing the relationship between health and posture, for both you and your enemies. If a foe's posture is replenishing very quickly, switch it up and go for cheap shots until you shave off some HP, then go aggressive on breaking their stance. Likewise, don't let your own HP get below 50% because you won't be able to block shiiiiiiit before you're worn out.
Also, holding block GREATLY accelerates your posture recovery rate, so if need be, get some space and hold block, then watch your posture damage recover in seconds.

Go through senpou. It'll prepare you much better for every thing ahead.
It grabs me out of the air.
Thanks, I'll give running a shot. Any advice on how to stop (or deal with) the scream in his 2nd phase?
Can you get multiple Bell Demon items? These seem mad useful but I don't want to always have it activated.
jump on top of his back when he's charging at you
Senpou IMO. Not many minibosses and the boss fight, without spoiling anything is easy, so get the relatively easy attack power upgrade there.
