I can dodge him just fine. I just don't get the damage in in time to be able to break his posture.
Why is this a problem? If you can dodge him fine you should have no issue. Dodge, hit a couple times, wait for next attack to dodge/deflect, repeat.

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.
You have certain things that can make it a bit easier like the Ako sugar or going to another area to get a "Memory" to increase your attack. I will say that path is way harder than just taking out the ogre though. You need to focus on getting his vitality to roughly half and then deflecting to get his posture damage up. I would save some emblems to use fire on both health bars. You could also use a Gaachin's sugar to run along the right side of the stairs up to where he's tied up and get in a stealth blow if you do it just right.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.
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.
Guys, I know that no one dies for getting dragon rot, but when should I cure them? Is there any guide for "points of no return" to heal NPCs and don't miss any step of the quests?
Where are you? Just to know when people are hooked from this. I am at gyoubu oniwa but the difficulty is setting me offThe 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.
Its really not that much extra exp. The best farming spot I can find in late game ashina outskirts would take me like 3-4 hours of continuous grinding to get all the skills. Its fucking ridiculous. The best way to do it is just speedrun the game to NG+7 and farm then.So, for people having trouble with the last bosses I really recommend investing into attack power over some of the skills, especially if you don't care for the platinum trophy.
I haven't entered NG+ yet. I did my Ashina Outskirt farming run on NG and pumped my attack power up to 16.
Now those red royal guards go down in 3 hits even when they're blocking. Wonder how much difference this would've made on the final boss.
I know that this only prolongs the grind for skills, but you can do late game farming in NG+ for even more XP and more attack power will also speed up the whole run.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Ashira Outskirts gives me 4000XP in less than two minutes on NG. If you want to get the plat you'll have to do 2 playthroughs anyways and you can make that second playthrough substantially easier/faster by farming for attack power first and skills later on.Its really not that much extra exp.

Thinking about getting this. I generally enjoy fighting through levels to progress through a game more than boss fights, though, so is this the wrong game for me? I never finished Bloodborne because I just sucked at parrying there. I now have a new tv without the dreadful input lag my old one gave me, though, and I quite enjoyed fighting valkyries in GoW4 with a low level Kratos. My first one took 4 hours and I was basically asleep when I started, but I just couldn't stop. So a dose of challenge sounds intriguing, but only if the basic fights are fun, not if all the challenge comes from learning esoteric attack patterns for arbitrary stages in boss fights where you whack them for hours and die in a few hits.
It really depends on how early you confront her. She's near impossible if you face her as early as you can.
Congrats! I don't have the patience for that but I did get the best ending imo.
I beat Lady Butterfly on my first attempt. I kind of wonder if i just somehow fluked it the way everyone else talks about her. The guy on the horse gave me a harder time.
How much someone explores beforehand affects it a lot. If you go straight through Hirana Estate soon as you unlock it and nothing else it's going to be significantly harder.
He hasI had to laugh when I came across the FOURTH fight with drunk mini-boss, absolutely shameless recycling in this game!
He absolutely trashed me several times and I only scraped by using all 10 estus, 3 pellets and a divine grass. How the F. am I getting worse at this game?! lol I killed #2 and 3 first try, I'm literally getting worse!
Just looked the same as the other 3 to me, it was so long ago I fought them, no way I was going to deduce that!He haswould've made his health go down much fasteran armor the 4th time around, using spear to rip off his armor
After spending some more time with the game and reading this thread, I think my time with the game is nearing its end. I had already accepted based on pre-release chatter that I wouldn't be beating the final boss, and the multitude of people in here saying they've spent days on him just affirms that decision. The more I look at what's left ahead of me though... the less I want to play. I've been having a pretty good time with Sekiro, but I don't really want my experience with the game to end in a rage quit.
DoH, H-less, and Shichimen3 all just sound like the biggest drag ever. I'm probably going to clean up all of the rest of the mini-bosses, then go back to Hirata for my own personal finale.
I just have a supreme disdain for Terror-based enemies. The feeling of having a good run wiped in a matter of seconds by an insta-death status effect is the most demoralizing part of this game. I'll give one of them a shot based on your response, but I do not look forward to it.
They really are, and I've had trouble with pretty much every boss in the game! Even easy without the mid-air kills. I've seen people use the purple umbrella to lock them down also. They seem way scarier than they because of terror, but it's a non-issue when you learn any of the multiple ways to deal with them.
You can cheeseSeven 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.
Sekiro final boss tries so far - at least 80...It's fascinating to me how varied the results are for people's difficulty with bosses in this game. I never got the impression that it was so different in the Souls games. It always seemed like there were consensus picks for which ones were hardest.
For example, Well Guy took me 2 tries. Seven Spears took me at least 30. He was the hardest stopping point in the game, for me, harder than any boss. And not just 30 straight tries. I gave up doing it on my own and consulted YouTube, but couldn't pull off the fight with recommended strategies (fireworks, jumping on his head), either. I gave up on that, and consulted "how to cheese" videos, and couldn't replicate those, either. Eventually, I found my own cheese method (same thing, really, just a different spot). I was happy to run into him again late in the game, thinking I'd thrash him after all that experience, and he still gave me an embarrassing amount of trouble.
We should make a list of all the bosses and mini-bosses, and everyone put a number of tries on each.

Here's a run through him I just did for you, not perfect by any means but hope it gives you some insight to his patterns and how to be more aggressive, note that because it's New Game+++ with no charm and the demon bell there's chip damage on non perfect parry and a big hit to how much posture damage you take and dish out so in a standard new game it's even more effective.
Did a few more hours, I'm at 8 left. Think it's still quicker than starting another + since you need to be a ways in before there's a good farming spot. Almost there now.
