Pfffff very funny

Poor bastitch

Not only that, you can get 6 prayer bead necklaces and 3 bosses (Gyoubu, Lady Butterfly, and Corrupted Monk) before him as well

@@Bobobo-bo-bo-bobobo I still prefer my first play method of bashing my head against the Genichiro wall for 8 hours till I got gud.

@@nomercy8989 the real way to play

Same

​@RAYHAN REHEMA PUTRA yeah but most people hesitate to use prosthetics on the first play through. But I don't think its bad. I did the same and i fell in love playing with only the katana... The parrying and attacking is also so addicting, its probably the best part

@RAYHAN REHEMA PUTRA yes thats what im saying.

Trying to get platinum right now, once you get max spirit emblems you feel liberated to go crazy with prosthetics

​@@rayhanrehemaputra1719I think it's cause you have to pause to change what you have equipped it's a odd thing to think about. Especially on your first playthrough. I agree once the becomes amazing wants calm your nerves and begin to think of the combat as a rhythmic puzzle

But it doesn't help much with bosses and difficult enemies enemies

@@fusieisbsi888it does when they have 3 or 2 phases

@@soaxxm it genuinely doesn't it only heals a fraction of your health

Yea even charmless it makes going through levels significantly easier on later ng+ cycles

With Emma’s upgraded healing, as well as the healing skill you win in combat, the pellets heal incredibly well. Combine that with the deathblow healing and you’ll get just under a gourd sip.

welp im buying sekiro now. budokai 3♥️

Brooooooooo Budokai 3 thooooooo

Im 37 and Sekiro is a Masterpiece.

You my og brother :')

Budokai tenkaichi 2 was the real deal. They made 3 a bit easier, but 2 was raw af.

Tbf thats the case for dark souls/bloodborne series as well. You can complete the game at souls level 1

@@ponkotuu I mean it’s easier and a lot more forgiving, most of the attacks in the game have generous parry windows

You can. Base vitality, bell + charmless is possible. Not a lot of room for errors or experimentation, though. Some true masochists do base attack runs without skills or prosthetics on top of everything else, but this is where I draw the line.

@@jeronimo196 tbh, I rarely use prosthetics anymore, easier to just rush the enemy. Except guardian ape, that spear is divine

​@@RW5583.what does the spear do?

Oh there's a mod for this?

@@rofl_waffl it’s called weapon wheel mod I think all the mods are on nexus mods their are some really good ones, especially the ones I highly recommend sake of Ashina if you want to take Sekiro to the next level

@Matthew Farry you play k&m then?

Hey man i know this is two days old but I PROMISE you WILL kill demon of hatred, if you have the patience to try and try again, you have the patience to win

I got platinum and I cheesed that bastard 15+ times lol. Same with micolash, though I did kill him legit a couple times at least

@@bofa722 He’s not that hard tbh. Just face him like a bloodborne boss. You can use the whistle to stun him too, and if you pair that with that sugar that takes half your health but gives you massive damage he dies super quick in his third phase.

I recommend the flame umbrella for his fireball throw. Stay close to the boss and keep circling right. Sprint when you can to get behind him and get 1-2 hits in before dodging right and trying to get back behind him. For phase 3, save your spirit emblems in the first two phases and use Malcontent to stun him 3 times (you can get it from a shichimen warrior in the double ape room) and chunk his health with prosthetics or mortal draw.

Fromsoft always has to throw in some weird ass boss that doesn't suit the game and just frustrates people lmao.

I was listening in

​@@HidinginPrivate Now that I finished the vid heres some of my thoughts from my personal experience: From playing Elden Ring (my first Fromsoft game) I got the impression that the concept of having different "builds" available to the player is more of a detriment to game balance than a boon. I played as a pure mage (since before this game my main other dnd-like rpg series was the elder scrolls,where I always play spellcasters) and I noticed that the balance of the game felt very off to me: the dungeon-y areas always felt really tense and tedious to traverse,since if I ran out of mp flasks I'd be doomed,and a bunch of the dungeons also had enemies that were hidden behind corners or just out of view,just so they can do a surprise attack on you if you aren't aware they're there (which I also think is a very mean way to design a dungeon but alas),which was doubly bad for my mage because my health bar was always pretty small until very late-game, I just didn't have the extra stat points to spend on extra health. Conversely, once I got some decent spells I thought that all of the big bosses were really easy, since mages are long range fighters but most bosses only had melee attacks, I was able to cheese most of them by just staying at a safe distance the entire and spamming spells (doubly so after I got some good tanky summons to distract them,and triply so after I got comet azure). I remember talking with some friends about my struggles and reading up online about other people's experiences with the game and I was very surprised to find that they were different from mine: I haven't really seen anyone else have the same issues with the dungeons I had, and I saw different people complain about struggling with different bosses instead. Stuff like Mohg and Rahdan, which I've seen people say are some of the hardest in the game , I beat 1st try without even getting hit. All of this made me realise that while the game gives you the option to build your character in different ways, the actual content of the game seemed to be balanced around a melee fighter build,and any other build will have widly different milage with the difficulty in different sections of the game. Now with Sekiro, the lack of the rpg character building elements means that we're all "stuck" using the same meele swordsman "build" (with some slight variance with the consumables and tools,but still relatively self-contained due to all of them having limited usage per fight) now the devs can balance the content of the game specifically just for this playstyle, so everything in the game feels *just right* in terms of difficulty.(also Sekiro dungeons have next to none hidden surprise attack enemies which is a plus for me :P)

@@alexg.9250it honestly sounds like you’re complain about the way open world rpgs in general, (especially the souls franchise) allow you to have freedom when it comes to builds. If you don’t like the idea of different builds having strengths and weaknesses idk if you like rpgs tbh, and maybe that’s why you like sekiro more, it’s not an rpg it’s an action game that allows you a few choices. Also don’t really understand the dungeon complaint if I’m being honest, souls games aren’t really known for being fair for newcomers

@@goodluckiz2669 my comment wasn't a complaint, just an obversation in regards to the video topic of game balance in souls games and my personal experience with the series so far. I love rpgs and ive played loads of them (but addmitedly I mostly play jrpgs , my only experience with western ones before elden ring was the TES series)

@@alexg.9250 i will admit it’s hard to balance when you can break the game if you try hard enough, the elder scrolls makes even the most broken Elden ring build seem silly by comparison

I feel like thats the point, fromsoft combat has always been simple, and not really deep, its always been a “focus on the boss more, and level cool weapons”

What the other two? 😅

​@@LuisRodriguez-kh8qmi know you asked him but for me one of the only games in the same genre that competes with sekiro is nioh 2 and I like both equally

just started my first sekiro playthrough a bit ago and haven't gotten much done yet but the chained ogre fight definitely makes me disagree with prosthetics being useless already probably gonna have a lot more uses too once I get more/master the ones I have right now

thats what im saying

I’m glad you came back to beat it! Sekiro is a masterpiece

@@grimreefer213 i think elden ring is quite abit better in everything thats not combat, but god freakin damn was this game utterly brilliant.

​@@flamingmanure sekiro still feels more realistic idk why

I meant graphical realisticity

Thanks! It has been a while! Lol

He thinks the videos on this channel wouldn't do well on his main channel.

Video games vs anime

ik Dark Souls have "you take more damage" rings/talismans, though I don't think there's any actual benefit to wearing them besides the challenge

Well elden ring has summons that eliminate any type of difficulty or bleed builds that make it really easy aslong as you know the boss movements and magic spells that allow you to just stay away from bosses making them easy too, honestly both elden ring and sekiro are amazing displays of fromsoft further perfecting their craft

That and charmless which drastically increases the difficulty of the game especially on later ng+ cycles where the bell does basically nothing

As someone who’s played every fromsoft title, Elden ring is easily the best. The only one even close is sekiro. The only reason a dark souls could be better is sentimental value and personal memories. But it’s objectively better. But it’s Dark Souls refined. I call it dark souls 4. The story has been refined, battle mechanics were refined, everything is refined to the best of it. It’s an excellent game. I put 250 hours in before I switched to another game, and I only did that to try sekiro. I’m stuck in 3 ways. The white suited cross lance weilder in the memory. The giant drunkard in the memory The horseman. Any tips for passing these?

Ohhhh that's very interesting. I didn't know that but it makes me more excited for AC6 than I already was

@@HidinginPrivate The greatest Mech customization Game franchise will return with its best Combat yet Its also Confirmed that Something like the Posture mechanic will be present and It will be Affected by Ranged and melee attacks

I think you just might need to stop using basic ass shields and swords. DS2 in particular has incredible build variety with like twice the weapons of ds1 plus the addition of mechanics like powerstancing. Plus, all magic is fairly good in DS2 and there are weapons that double as staves or talismans for further variety. DS3 though, I could see the argument of it being just a str, dex, and quality builds with nothing in between.

@@themightymcb7310 yeah but DS2 is a garbo game so it doesn't matter at all

@@rq3167 I mean true but some of its best features got thrown into Elden Ring so I can't bring myself to hate it

Didn’t he get nerfed 2 life’s instead of 3

@@NoobAMV Nah he still the same . My point is that the game is easier since after you beat the game onec , you have already mastered the core mechanics , making the earlier fights easier.

That's why they added the Inner fights. Makes those bosses new again.

I think Fromsoftware knows how important it is that the Elden ring dlc is great. It's their biggest game of all time by far so i'm expecting them to really bring out the big guns for shadow of the erd tree.

Yes I am incredibly based and cool

I definitely want to expand on my thoughts for sekiro in the future. As you said though, I just decided that was out f the scope for the specific 'balance' topic I was trying to cover

When you learn the game though you realize how op it would be to have any more spirit emblems than they give you. You can still basically firecracker mortal blade spam your way through the whole game past senpou temple

I would actually say, the purpose of the game is to be played more than once. Its perfection manifests as your perfection manifests.

​@@buckyhurdle4776this is true but I still can't help agree with the above comment. Maybe it would've been better to make some tools use more emblems and others use fewer. Fire crackers with more emblems would be busted but maybe mist ravenv should be slightly fewer cuz it clearly wants you to post a certain way when using it but has probably the steps cost. Maybe the ax and spear should only be one-two emblems. I feel like if certain tools used fewer emblems and were a little less powerful (where applicable), you then get a situation where you really center a play style around then instead of emblems being cool stuff you do only sometimes

Get the tanto and you can sacrifice a little health for more emblems

I think from 23:41 is the Hades boss music from Hades.

Trying my best to pump it out while getting in shape. Hope one of my vids gets in the algorithm so I have spending money in Poland lol

@@HidinginPrivate you're doing great in your progress. Have fun in Poland. Just be careful lol

Wellll, this was smaller scale. There's still much more I want to talk about and have notes for. This us a start though!

never head any problem with emblems, never had last than 300 in my first playthrough and NG+ always 999 on storege, if kill enemies while exploring you get tons of them, also at end game you have more sen than you can spend even at first playthrough, so just spend on them

Thanks shaz

Thanks

Thanks!

Man imo the second owl is the coolest fight in the game, especially the inner one, it gave me the most adrenaline out of all other battles

It out!

Best luck

Oh how I wish I could experience it for the first time, once you get in the groove you’ll be hooked! Best of luck on your journey

It found you!

ds3 or elden ring first after that go with ds1, bloodborne or sekiro then you can go into the more clunky games likes like ds2 or demon souls

Sekiro has an item that allows you to effectively do that with spirit emblems, sacrificing half your vitality. It’s come in clutch against a couple bosses, including Guardian ape

Nice! Hope you liked the game

Ongbal will show you how deep the weapon arts can be used. Doesn’t matter what most of the player base will use. It’s crazy what you can do if you spend time playing it. That’s also my different opinion I would add to his analysis is that no matter what FromSoft games take time to grind if you want to be OP or have an easier play though. Although with Sekiro once you have this down you won’t have to do it again but the hours to spent getting as good as Ongbal is crazy. Go check out videos if you haven’t already. I’ve beaten the game without the charm and hitting the demon bell on new game 10+ and I’m still nowhere near as good as some of these players. Plus on PC they’ve added some mods that make the regular game look easy af. Either way grinding is apart of souls or at least practice with them. Sekiro was the most different but still survive and learn. It why I play them and they’re all good. I honestly can’t stand when FromSoft fans nitpick and what has become the best 3rd person fighting game company in history imo. Yeah some are easier then others and after playing so many multiple they will never be as tough as they once were. Doesn’t matter to me as they’re the only company I buy day one from anymore.

Exactly this. It was kind of frustrating to hear him saying things like "falling into that embarrassing idea that Sekiro offers less variety." I have had friends that have beaten the game entirely that still won't want to pick it back up or have it in their top 3 fromsoft games because of the lack of variety. Your core moveset will always be Katana and light armor. The prosthetic tools and skills are not things you can make builds around; you can't fundamentally alter your gameplay with them. I lucked out in that I like Katana and light armor, but I have plenty of friends that just don't enjoy that kind of play and thus don't enjoy Sekiro nearly as much as the titles that offer katana and light armor AND others. In terms of balancing, the variety that Sekiro offers is undoubtedly the most balanced out of all of the fromsoft titles, but please don't proclaim the embarrassing idea that Sekiro offers the most variety.

@Moyai Drip that’s opinion based but the other games are more or less the same with minor differences at least at it core and my opinion is you spent a crap ton of hours on that as well. I always situational in FromSoft games if I know to do it an easier way I will. Either way this conversation isn’t big to me bc I enjoy all of their games and don’t really compare them that much bc it’s the only company I buy from day one. Idk about Armored Core tho. It’s doesn’t seem like my kind of game but we’ll see

​@@octodog5907 couldn't be more wrong lmao. Some skills/prosthetics can delete entire phases of some boss, to say you can't build/have a playstyle around them is patently wrong

@@ahisee5181 So you're telling me that an expected way to play is to go through the entire game using mainly the spear instead of your sword?
