That was not what he was asking about. He was asking about the encounter where there are two headless in fountainhead palace lake.
Omg lolStill stuck on Double Headless (I know it's optional).
This is the trashiest, cheapest garbage I've experienced in this game thus far. Some tries I go in and die instantly as soon as I get close, like I haven't even got out of the swimming animation to even get one swing in before I'm insta-dead from the homing crap, and I've tried timing it to get there between attacks, and this is with using a pacifying agent before I go under, saving the purple gourd for when needed. There will be no satisfaction when (if?!) I get past this, just sourness that they made an encounter this cheap and shitty.
No you're good :)do i am less of a man if i use the mega cheese strategy for theDoH?
Oh Ok.That was not what he was asking about. He was asking about the encounter where there are two headless in fountainhead palace lake.
Yep which several people including myself have already told him.Oh Ok.
the second one there is just an illusion and is gone once you kill the real one

If it's the cliff thing, I don't think so. Honestly, I felt more accomplishment having done that than killingFather Owl
Took me some good 30 minutes to figure out how to climb the tower and make the jump.
Oh Ok.

The 2ndwas even easier than the first. The second time a puppet has trivialized a mini boss encounter for me.Seven spears
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?
Yooo I just noticed in one of the endings
When sekiro stabs Owl, he's holding the black Open Gate mortal blade that Genichiro got. How does it have it?

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?
This doesn't take 60 seconds, the jumps can take long ass time. It can take less time to beat the boss legit lol when I was frustrated I tried this and couldn't make it so I said fuck it and tried the legit way and beat him easily.

Wow this is a great find.Yep, for sure. Take a look at this Reddit thread:

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.
I need 6 more.. but each one takes fucking ages.Still 20 points left to grind out. I've started listening to podcasts again
I had trouble getting out of the terror radius tbhThat's a cool approach, I never thought to use that or realized that would stop the terror. I'm sure that's quicker.
To be honest though, you really don't need to use any prosthetic tools to beat him. My initial runs I used firecrackers, but then felt like it was a waste anyway. In Phase 1, just learning his attacks and parrying and dodging is really not that difficult. He opens himself to a ton of damage if you parry and dodge around him. And I and others have described a careful, but longer, approach to taking him out in Phase 2 without much difficulty. Your approach sounds faster for Phase 2 though and I will try it next time.

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.
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.They should've had a balloon for XP instead of rez power. Getting a new rez takes like five seconds.
Don't blame you. I need 4 more skill points. The next one is 72000 xp :/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.
XD, perfect.Haha. The crouch is cool, but it looks like he's just seen a penny on the floor, and happens to dodge the kick accidentally as he picks it up.
The game is finally clicking. Stealth, combat, deflecting... I'm getting the hang of everything, finally! Portions with regular enemies are taking 10th of the time they used when I first started playing.
Feels so gooooood.
Yep, for sure. Take a look at this Reddit thread:

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 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.
dont give up. you can do it
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 :-/You just need to adjust your timing of dodges.
