Headless and Shichen can be left until later. You must use Divine Confetti unless you want a really hard time - so it's worth waiting until you can buy it (late game) or at least farm it. It's also worth getting the Purple Gourd for the terror build-up, when you get to the place you can buy that, I'd say try again with the first Headless. If you have the anti-air deathblow skill it can really help with the Shichen warriors.I'm so stuck
The headless and shichien warrior are too tough for me
Fought Genichiro but couldnt make it past his later stage
I could explore the temple but feel I could do those ones I mentioned first.
Thought about trying to fight snake eyes and it didn't make sense to me either

My strat for the Shichen is to go in with divine cofetti and just go ham until they teleport. Don't run straight to where they will be but stay mid-distance so that they use the beam, deflect that or use the purple umbrella, then run to them and mash R1 again until they teleport. Rinse and repeat. This way I never see the huge orbs they summon.
Snake Eyes I had trouble with initially but if you just stay on them and deflect their attacks - they can all be deflected even the gun shots and grab, but for simplicity I dodge the gun shots and grab and just deflect the attacks. They can both be made easier with a stealth deathblow, I would use a Gachin sugar if you're having trouble getting to them without them noticing - especially the swamp one. The other one I approach from behind (Gun Fort idol).
Thanks four your thoughts. I have most of the items you mentioned save purple gourd...God does this mean it's really just git gud at this point? I was getting frustrated at fighting headless because it's so item heavy with divine confetti and pacifying agent.
Always good to know there are other prosthetics to try too.
Wow ladyis such a BS fight. So i thought I finally beat her after like 20 tries and she has a second form.butterfly

I am also getting wrecked by the seven spears dude. He kills me in two hits and mikiri counter isnt possible on him.
ok thanks.Seven Spears can definitely be Mikiri countered, just make sure you move the analog stick towards him as you press the button.
You can jump and grab a ledge nearby.ok thanks.
how do i progress here? I see one branch i can grapple too, but nothing more.
Well, decided to do another run to finish in a day just for fun, and I managed. Purification ending, got to Lady Butterfly with 12 attack power, it was crazy, lmao.
Yeah, without any of the modifiers too, just wanted a chill playthrough.
Are you using the memories you get from defeating bosses? From the idol menu. It increases your attack power. Your HP and posture bar increase by killing mini-bosses and getting prayer beads.I dont like how I feel so weak. Every boss i played can kill you in a swipe while I hardly do a dent on them when I hit.
I only killed one mainboss. The horse one.Are you using the memories you get from defeating bosses? From the idol menu. It increases your attack power. Your HP and posture bar increase by killing mini-bosses and getting prayer beads.
The game is challenging no doubt, but it's not always about getting a bosses HP bar down - the posture bar is more important. Lowering a bosses health makes their posture bar regenerate slower. So getting some damage in, then concentrating on their posture bar is a good general strategy. It's not often you want to try to get a boss down to zero HP (you can, but it will take longer).
Not far at all. The horse boss is the first "boss" so you get a memory from him to up your attack power. Mini-bosses are the Ogre, the samurai guy early on, you get prayer beads from those. The boss of Ashina castle maybe you mean the bull or G enichiro? The former is a mini-boss, the latter a boss. This is where the game opens up though, after the bull there are a few ways to go from there.I only killed one mainboss. The horse one.
I am at the boss of ashina castle. How far am I into the game?
bull was easy. I am at the G-man.Not far at all. The horse boss is the first "boss" so you get a memory from him to up your attack power.

G-Man is the first real skill test of the game, like Father G from Bloodborne, Blade Wolf from MGR, and so on. It's supposed to test you on how well you force the enemy to block and how well you parry their own attacks in return.
LOL I just got to the idol in front of it, but haven't tried the fight yet. Sounds like it will be fun!Fuck this absolute fucking cunt of a final boss right to fucking cunt hell.
Whatever From. Go fuck yourself.
Alright, any tips for what I assume is the last boss?This isn't even fun anymore.Isshin, Sword Saint
ISS first phase really, but I had a moment of clarity and started taking a bit of patience reading into his moves more and now I'm reliably getting to his second.
Don't worry, they're dicks.Killing the mobs in Fountainhead Palace makes me feel kinda bad.

Try to be consistent with your spacing and responses. His moveset changes depending on how you react to certain moves (such as how close you stand for certain windup animations), so making your own movements and spacing consistent makes his move set more consistent in turn. That narrows down the number of moves you need to react to, which makes him easier to practice.Alright, any tips for what I assume is the last boss?This isn't even fun anymore.Isshin, Sword Saint
You mean the Mibu Nobles with the flute?
Have they enfeebled you yet? Because once that happens you'll want kill them in sight, no regrets.
I'm stuck on the second phase of ISS now, too. I'm trying the loaded umbrella/projected force technique, but I'm having trouble reading his attacks. It sucks that you have to go through so much just to practice the second phase.ISS first phase really, but I had a moment of clarity and started taking a bit of patience reading into his moves more and now I'm reliably getting to his second.
I put the game down for a week or so because of this fight and just got back into it.
Still on his second phase too but I think I've made more progress in shorter time on this phase than his first. Yes he's faster and has wider attacks but it seems like the same approach of finding opportunities to attack and waiting/hoping for a mikiri counter opportunity. Only tool I use in this fight is firecrackers to interrupt his long wind-up attack.I'm stuck on the second phase of ISS now, too.
