That was not what he was asking about. He was asking about the encounter where there are two headless in fountainhead palace lake.

Omg lol
I beat this boss without realizing there was an extra one? Now that I think about it I did see two beings there and after the fight I was looking for the other one. I didn't find it.
For the underwater dudes, I just used my jab attack (hold attack button) to zoom in then circle to zoom out to a safe spot. If you strafe by spamming circle you can zoom around and not get hit by the tracking terror bullets.
No you're good :)
Will be interesting to watch the percentage of unlocks for that achievement/trophy in the next days tho :D
Oh Ok.
the second one there is just an illusion and is gone once you kill the real one
Yep which several people including myself have already told him.
If it's the cliff thing, I don't think so. Honestly, I felt more accomplishment having done that than killing
Father Owl
Took me some good 30 minutes to figure out how to climb the tower and make the jump.
No worries.
I'm trying to remember and I kinda think that I've seen the illusion kinda mixed with the original but at this point I'm not sure if I'm inventing the memory or it really happened lol.
My process during every boss fight:
1. Have a rather promising start where I manage to put up a fight.
2. Starts to get worse the more I focus on looking for openings.
3. Shift my focus from winning to just learning the movesets.
4. Brain has a meltdown and becomes inable to respond correctly to unblockable attacks.
5. Rage mode engages and everything is just a sloppy mess.
6. Gather myself and try to stay calm.
7. 10 more tries of doing that with no success.
8. Starts going to youtube to look for guides.
9. Discovers a cheese and has no shame in using it.
10. Can still not beat the boss because what looked easy on the video is hard in reality.
11. Loses grip of reality. Why am I doing this? Why was I brought here to suffer? Is there an end to this madness?
12. Looks at clock and realizes 3 hours have gone by.
13. Time for bed... Or am I already sleeping? Is this a nightmare?

Well I was worried that a Future Press guide for this was going to go the route that their Nioh guide did... and it looks like it might. Set to come out on the 15th, it is now showing the 30th. Same thing happened with their Nioh guide. Kept getting pushed back and then eventually they finally confirmed it was cancelled.
At this point I am nearly done with my first playthrough, but I still love their guides for the Souls games and was looking forward to flipping through this on my NG+ run. Really hope it still comes out, but like I said, I was skeptical it was ever coming out to begin with and even said as much (I did this to myself!) when the preorder link was shared in the Previews thread =(
Hope it's just delayed!

Go to tree idol, walk out on long branch. Use Confetti and pacifying agent and dive in. Immediately swim to the the weaker one with only one health bar. Swim behind and just spam R1. If you took damage or terror, use healing and purple gourd. Go the second headless and fight identical to the solo underwater headless from before.
I think you will feel less..I know I was going to cheese but I found the cheese harder to do then the fight so I just did the fight and won lol
yeah, that puppet was great on that fight
we literally destroyed him hahaha
I laughed so hard, thanks for this post.
Bolded part is is pretty much my take from the game.
I wondered that, too, and after looking around, someone pointed out in the Shura ending, the item Owl places by Isshin's body is possibly Genichiro's head. Did Owl somehow kill Genichiro to get it while you were fighting the Shura ending bosses?
Finally beat the game last night, by the skin of my teeth. I used up all my gourd healing, pellets, and even a Divine Grass, but I got him.
isn't so bad, though. I copied off my save first, so I'm going to go back and give him a proper thrashing. I won't need that much healing again.
Looking back, it's funny, but the mini-bosses are harder than the bosses, except for their lower health. The bosses are a grind, but I think most of then telegraph their moves much more than several mini-bosses do.

I beat bosses in step 7 or in step 14: Try again the next day and beat the boss in two attempts.
I think you're right,that's the only way it could have gone UNLESS Owl happened to find it first this time, somehow, which I doubt. Wonder how he is managing to have it unsheathed though (assuming it has the same curse as the Red Mortal blade)
Yeah, I saw this same cheese technique for the earlier boss in that area, before DoH was there in my game. Out of curiosity, I tried climbing up and making that jump, and couldn't do it.
When I did get to DoH, he wasn't so hard. I might never have pulled off that jump.
This piece of cut content pretty much explains all of the references that were bugging me:
Mibu was in fact once a direct reference to Bloodborne. It's no coincidence at all.
But the direct references to both Bloodborne and Lovecraft were changed, probably because they didn't want people speculating it was in the same universe, exactly like Gascoigne saying Umbasa in the Bloodborne alpha.
But what remained in the game was still enough for me and many others to still speculate that Bloodborne and Sekiro are in the same universe, LUL.

Yep, for sure. Take a look at this Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Sekiro/comments/bb8zuu/some_notes_i_compiled_on_the_real_history_of_the/
According to the writer, the real life inspiration for Genichiro was Ashina Moritaka, who was assassinated by Ōba Sanzaemon. Owl says his real name in the Shura ending, which is Uzui Ukonzaemon. This is no coincidence.

Oh shit what
I'll need to re-watch that ending, I missed this (the part I bolded)
I did notice
that Wolf was holding the black blade though and I found that odd.
Wow this is a great find.
The last part in the Reddit post is totally stuff in Nioh too, I recognize all of those names (Iknowsomeofthesewords.gif). :3
Guys, I finally did it! The final boss is down! Oh my god, that was intense af. What an incredible fight. My heart is still pumping...
They should've had a balloon for XP instead of rez power. Getting a new rez takes like five seconds.
I'm stuck. I just got to Ashina Castle proper over the moat. I unlocked the crypt statue to fight that blue light thing (haven't attempted), the one on the left that leads to the seven Ashina Spears guy at the moon tower. I can't for the life of me beat this guy. As far as the dream goes, I went around and finished the drunken dude, but idk where to go next. Spear wielding enemies are the worst. So much range and some moves that have such short animations.
You can cheese
Seven Spears if you like. Sneak in the house from the side like you did in the beginning of the game, then death blow from behind. Then jump off the stairs to the left. As he starts down the stairs jump and hit him. He'll stay on the stairs and you are free to jump and hit as you like. If you stay right up against the stairs he should miss you with all attacks unless you jump at a bad time.
Of all the punches in the face this game gave me, I'll not understand why people found Seven Spears hard.
That fucker in the well was 20x worse.

Yeah it's pretty useless.
I am nearing the end of playthrough #4/NG+++, and I still have 5 points left for the last skill (I stupidly wasted 5 points on 1 ATK power in NG.... regrets). I probably won't make it by playing naturally, but we'll see. No way I'm farming, even if it's the last "achievement" I need.
Yeah my approach was just to stay back, 2 hits after jumping over swim move and then jump away like hell, and 4 hits after sword drop move opening and jump away like hell.
I'd still get some terror build up, but more like 10-20% health hits when I did get caught on my way out.
Its safe and effective, but slow.
Don't blame you. I need 4 more skill points. The next one is 72000 xp :/
Yeah it does. Once it clicks the swordplay becomes a thing of beauty.
I guess I can stop playing the game. After like 20+ tries of trying to beat the first ogre mini boss and still not being able to do it (that's with the flame tool...).
Eh.. why this game gives me so much trouble compared to the other From games is beyond me.

You just need to adjust your timing of dodges. You can't spam roll like in Souls and he tracks your dodge unless its perfectly timed. His non grab attacks are super easy to deflect/dodge. If you absolutely have to, just attack him when he does a big jump move and run away until he does it again.
I can dodge him just fine. I just don't get the damage in in time to be able to break his posture. First time is pretty easy with the flame tool, but second time, nope :-/
It just feels unnecessarily hard and the tools restrictive. I never felt that flimsy in other From games.
