Another thing about Sakura dance: So after some testing I'm pretty confident that the kind of falling deathblow you do depends on how high you where when you started falling. A low fall does the backhug falling deathblow, a medium height fall does lady butterfly's neckchoke-flip deathblow, and anything higher does the slam to the ground and roll deathblow. Sakura dance, when used, carries you just high enough to do the neck-choke flip deathblow on most enemies, which imo is the coolest deathblow ever, and pretty hard to do because it requires a rather specific height to pull off. That said, really disappointed Inner Isshin couldn't reverse reverse lightning since that again, made his phase 3 easier than phase 2.

The one that knocks down enemies and stabs them is for light people The backhug is for heavier people like generals or some other main bosses like isshin and genichiro Honorable mention: Because of the fact that minister shinobis are long and strudy sekiro actually has to rip open their back to kill them with falling blow. Each enemy type has different

I personally hoped that Ishiin would take lightning reversal to another level. Basically, genichiro teaches you that double reversal is a thing, but gives you the tool to counter it easily. Now I thought that Glock9 madafacka Ishiin would say nope, not doing this shit, and reversed your reversed reversed reversal, making the weapon art useless xD You would have to commit to this reversed reversed reversed reversed reversal-inception and it would be dope as hell

@@Champion-1209 but Isshin is implied to be a much more talented warrior than Genichiro. Hell he somehow just knew how to reverse lightning when he came back from the grave, and there's no lore to suggest that he can only do it because he came out of Genichiro's body, and even if such lore did exist it wouldn't make much sense

It's really fucking cool whe he does the three step fire cracker slash because you deflect the first two, it pushes you back with a deflect, dodge backwards once and then night jar through the lingering smoke and it looks god damn dope

@ethandonnelly1973 3 жыл бұрын
@@danielchristensen3657 Standard owl is pretty good with night jar is it lets you close the gap for zero Spirit cost. Literally every time he jumps back, you can take a step forward then nightjar at him to continue attacking. Literally just using Night jar to chase him makes fighting him in first phase really easy. With his fire cracker slash, you can do a really cool looking, and very simple, combo. Basically when you see him spray out the black powder, wait for him to start slashing it, and then dodge backwards. Dunno if you know this or not, but Dodging doesn't work by evading the attacks hit box, it works by using invincibility frames to just pass through the attack So you can literally dodge clean through a slash. (If you know that, I hope I'm not offending you by stating the obvious but alotta players don't know how dodge works. So regardless Even of you're in the fire crackers range, if you dodge at the right time, you wont take damage. So he tosses out the black powder, you dodge backwards as he ignites it with his slash and then you immediately Nightjar towards him, which is like dodging an explosion and then jumping straight through the smoke to slash him, it looks and feels dope as hell and lets you continue the fight quickly to maintain pressure. Also if you haven't figured it out yet, When he does that long dashing cut, where he throws the anti healing smoke bomb at the end, you can stop the smoke bomb entirely. Basically you just deflect the cut, and immediately press attack. He'll start the throwing animation but if you cut him first, it'll cancel. The other dash cut I block the single shuriken and dodge the cut to deal health damage to his flank. Dunno if you do loads of posture damage if you block it but i prefer dodging that one
@MegaTheftV 2 жыл бұрын
Here's a little tip that really helped me when I was playing. Memorizing the deflection sounds really helps with landing them perfectly. There's a pattern and if you pair it with looking at the animation it makes it way easier to time your block. Some fights I didn't even realize but I was making the perfect deflect with my mouth because It was something I picked up without even knowing. Idk if its as useful for others as it is for me but it doesn't hurt to try :)
@shellingford7616 Жыл бұрын
Definitely agree! I remember encountering the giraffe centipede for the first time and killing him first try, just because his attacks were so rhythmical. Listening to the sounds definitely helped me memorising the rhythms of attacks from bosses and killing Genichiro right after having perfectly deflected that long sword attack of his is satisfying as hell^^

Another tip: the midair deflection leaves you in a pretty long recovery animation and you only have like 2 frames to dodge or get the mikiri off once you come out of it, so make sure you mash the hell out of the dodge button after you get the deflect. Using the umbrella might negate this but i haven't tried it personally.

Easily the best combat in a souls game so far, so much so that playing DS and bloodborne isn't as fun to me as it used to be. Strange how the game with the least amount of customization by far is one of the most addicting

These gauntlets remind me of Hollow Knight: Godmaster. In Godmaster there are 4 gauntlets where you fight 9 main bosses then in the end you'll face a new boss and then there is that final gauntlet where you fight a harder version of all 50+ bosses along side the new ones, but then in the end you fight a boosted version of the final boss and it's insane. Absolute Radience I'll eventually beat you.

@@uryenatienza4093 Yeah, the first 3 are reasonable, and I know I beat the first two. Not sure if I beat the Sage one. I thought Nightmare Grimm showed up in the fourth, but he's actually only in the fifth. Looking at it now, only the last one is truly evil, which I think is too much. From Soft did it the right way: the insanely hard boss rush is completely optional with no reward besides pride. There isn't even a new boss form, so only do it if you're into that. Hollow Knight locked both a new boss, extra lore, and the alternate ending behind the insane rush. It's the only time the game leans too far into the classic ultra hard difficulty of NES games and the like. It sucked ending Hollow Knight on such a sour note

I wouldn't care if the fight was four or five phases, I would love seeing how many crazy combos Isshin could perform by stringing attacks from both versions together.(something like his short range fire sweep leading into his sword beams and ending off with Inner Isshins new phase 2 attack. Also, if I made it, the Mortal Blade moves would probably go through resurrections, so if you die to them, that's it, no resurrection nodes

When Isshin sheathes his sword, he actually has two attacks he can make it into depending on what you are up to. If you stay in about the same place in front of him when he sheathes the sword, you're gonna get an Ashina Cross for big posture damage. If you're moving around, he does the single slash into a sweep. It's good to know how to bait out both depending on your positioning when he first sheathes his sword.

Haven't finished the entire video, but to answer your question of how to deflect the attack at 40:00 , you need to jump, and while on air, hold block, then when you land isshin can either do a thrust that you can mikiri counter or an attack that you can parry. Also, for anyone struggling with these bosses, you can use the dragon's blood dropplets to revive more than one time per phase, or a Jizo statue to get an extra revive. The best thing is that after finishing the gauntlets you get the consumables back. That's how I managed to finish the 4 trials on my first try, I had a lot of these items that I never used. And the mist raven feather is essentially a free get out of jail card, if you find yourself having a hard time dodging any particular boss attack, just use the feather. Also, I did the gauntlets on ng+7 and as far as I can tell, the damage does not scale, however, negative effects of not having Kuro's charm or having the Bell Demon active, do apply.

Nice tips. I have a few more to make the fights even easier - With Genishiro, don't dodge through his jump attack, parry it. If you deflect it, he always follows with a thrust on phase one (so you can mikiri him), on phase two he follows up with either thrust or a sweep (so jump), and on phase three it's either thrust sweeo or normal attack followed by thrust. You can clearly see the reflection of his blade in the smoke that telegraphs what move he'll use. - Again with Genishiro, but only for phase three or Way of Tomoe : during his flurry attack, you can dodge it or parry most of it, whatever you want, but deflect the last attack, he will always follow with a thrust - For Shinobi Owl : during phase two when he tries to regain posture after throwing poison : throw a shuriken at him to interrupt - For both monks : you can actually hit her three times if you use the best firecrackers (but because there's a delay you might need some practice). Also, Ashes have the same effect (only two attacks after though) - Inner Ishin : firecracker his ass to interrupt his opening attack. He has two new attacks, don't know how to properly counter them so yeah, run at first, but look for the last attack of the combo, sometimes it's a thrust with the spear you can mikiri.
