Lmfao

This is amazing.

🤣🤣🤣🤣😎👌

isshin second one has fire based attack which is more deadly as shown in here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9qbi6t-07rIYZc.html

LMFAO

I was stunned when that mf shot me for the first time

Honor can be a relevant term is souls likes lol

A shinobi would know the difference between honor and victory.

well he says that the only real rule in ashina style is to win your battles

@@majtoman2735 exactly

have you tried learning the boss, that is always the best way to fight any sekrio boss

@@asuperiorjamularproduct8861 then why are you here?

@@Noble_Isaac to see what 15 minute long unessecarily convoluted cheeses there are, and by the looks of it, they all consist of hit, run away for 3 minutes and that just isnt what sekiro is about

@@asuperiorjamularproduct8861 but this isn't a 15 minute convoluted cheese... this is a 3-4 hits with an axe and the boss is done... by far this is the most effective way to kill the boss

Attack Power Level 23 though

There is no joy in this fight

@@Shadow-pq2dr Joy is defeat

@@dagwood5041 yeah that’s true

@@Shadow-pq2dr lil baby couldn't beat isshin 😢

@@kdog4347 he’s the final boss? And the hardest.

What attack power did you have at that point

@@tokyosblade Attack power doesn't matter against main bosses as they ALWAYS scale with you. However, I fought him again on New Game Plus and it became 10x harder. But I beat him. I'll tell you how: LEARN how to deflect ALL the time against him. Go in there willing to die but only for the goal of learning. First phase, no need for the Axe, just parry his Ashina Cross move. It is easy to predict as his torso has a "white sparky" shine RIGHT before he strikes you. Second phase is the hardest. Attack less, and deflect more. When he finishes his big combo, it will ALWAYS end in a flying thrust attack. Mikiri-counter that, and immediately Axe him follow up with few sword attacks. You might take a hit or two in the process, but this will make him repeat his combo. As long as you are deflecting, his posture will stay the same and you will have another chance to Axe him after you Mikiri. Rinse, focus, and repeat. Third phase, just run around until he does Lightning move, and then just jump, grab lightning, hit him with it. And start running again 😂 6 lightning strikes and his health will reach zero. If you don't have the patience for it, just play his third phase like second one and it works. Like I said, just practice Deflection timings first. Don't try to win, just focus on learning. Once you think you've learned enough, go in and kick his ass!

@@Starboiiiii bosses don’t scale to ur attack power what???

Do you need the lazulite axe

@@lokifrank5132 just get good, this boss is hard but not unforgiving

​@@markbakkerhslnot unforgiving with 4 fucking stages all of which change move sets entirely and if u die u have to repeat all 4 stages yea your the problem with the fromaoff community

Gid gud

@@DiamondDog1982 dead joke

13! What did you skip every boss lol

what’s the axe

@@misery_follows Lazulite Axe

In feel you pain :). The 23 Attack is needed if you want to do it very much Axe-only. Otherwise you run out of spirit emblems and need maybe a good combat art - Empowered Mortal Draw comes to mind or at least it's what I would feel comfortable with.

Arth Denton thanks for the information, is there any skills / combat arts for your strategy? Thank you for the upload by the way. You made it look easy!

@@andregomes1590 As the video shows, I had enough spirit emblems to finish him off with the Axe. Attacking from the 'right' distance is important. I had Empowered Mortal Draw in reserve - works well without emblems - but I changed my mind at the last moment and switched to Floating Passage because it's a bit faster but did not need it after all. You may want to pop in a Jizzo Statue if you get killed in Phase 3 or 4.

Arth Denton thanks bro, will post up how it goes tomorrow!

Andre Gomes did you beat him?

Same but in school right now

Never thought of that - getting the skills trophy and then reloading. Good strategy :)

What level strength is good for this fight?

:) my exact feelings at the time.

Did this work for you recently please?

I did it with 22 attack! I am so happy 2 years of pain are gone! I have beat this boss for the first time. Thank you for this strategy.

how can I do this if I don't have a rice ball? consumables are used between attempts

Fr squilla is a god

The axe attacks are "armored" so they aren't interrupted.

"...when using buffs/healing."

Brightness up

Saturation up

Sure, just make sure you don't get hit much :). I would save the sweet rice for phase 4.

@@arthdenton Thanks man. This guy has made me quit for 3 weeks, since nothing I was throwing at him was working. This looks incredibly promising, I'll get the scales for dragon mask then xp grind to 23 atk power Thanks!

@@hamzahussain7794The need for a higher atk power, and you may be able to do it with less than 23, is because Genichiro can stay stunlocked for 3 axe blows so if you do not kill him in 3 he jumps and things can get more complicated. Isshin can be hit twice in phase 2 before you need to dodge but phase 2 is probably the easiest. Phase 3 is where you win the encounter because on phase 4, with the sweet rice and the eel liver you are practically unkillable for 30 seconds which is enough time to kill him. Oh, and a high attack power is not necessarily a wasted grind because NG+ is so much fun if you start it at 24.

@@arthdenton Thanks man, this guy is beating my face so hard, when I started the game I was so hyped and excited to plat and go ng+ and all but this guy has just made me want to finish the game and be done with it. Many thanks for the guide! I will follow it and maybe just maybe I find that spark to go ng+ :)

@@hamzahussain7794 If you save your game BEFORE talking to Kuro after defeating Isshin, you can do 3 endings in this NG. Assuming you killed Owl father. So you save your game then do 'ending 1', reload from save and do 'ending 2', reload again from save and do 'ending 3'.

It definitely makes the biggest difference. The fire axe is a close second

No. No it's not because the umbrella by the time u get to lightning phase has 1 or 2 uses left unless your using ranto which means u need to be good enough to use it in combat and not die and not need healing itmes your nuts

@tylercrain2831 I think I only started using it for the second stage

Elden ring is easy compared to this. Well besides Malenia lol. Some people struggle on maliketh, radagon, and Godfrey as well because of their aggression. But those fights “make sense” if you will. Not a 1600 “sword saint” that time travelled to the future for a Glock and pulls a spear out of his ass while also being able to be deathblowed 2 times without issue and harnesses the power of lightning.. lol

@@SirGuidemere91 my comment aged like milk jesus, Sekiro is by far easier than Elden Ring by the simple fact that it's a rythmic game with some Devil May Cry elements, also i hate the fact thar most ER bosses feel clunky and no visible openings, the only bosses that i consider rather good were Godefry and Radagon, and the rest feel like they were ment to be a Sekiro boss, speccially Malenia wich quite literally is a Sekiro boss

@@durchfaII really? Well everyone has their play styles and trials for sure. I’m on sword saint as the last thing I need to kill on new game + and I’m having a hell of a time. Nothing on elden ring killed me as much as genichiro 2, owl 1, old man ishiin, or sword saint. Even the demon of hatred was harder than most of ER for me. Safe to say I don’t understand this rhythm you speak of lol. Did you beat all of ER at least though? And I agree about Malenia. She would’ve fit right in on sekiro with deflecting water fowl.

Buffs were essential in my case because I am not very good. :)

@@arthdenton Just to say I used this technique in the first two stages and it was essentially a breeze. Then I used mortal draw after his jump attacks in the final stages. So just defeated him. Thankyou very much. ☺️👍

Don't know. Maybe they nerfed the Lazulite Axe since this video was made? Everything I used for gear and buffs is documented in the video and the notes.

@@arthdenton I'm gonna try that again later. Maybe it's nerfed, maybe I'm not being aggressive enough. But thanks for replying anyway!

You need to be super-aggressive. Be the one who does the 'first attack' so you don't need to parry. Then attack some more. The 'strategy' if there is one, is to overwhelm the enemy at the cost of you taking some damage - and you eat your rice for that.

I was the same with 13 attack power I was stuck on this boss fight for 2 days trying all different strategies, now I'm grinding to get my attack power to 25 just so I can triumph this boss lol

@@diongabb2505 I have no idea how I did it but I beat the game heavily underpowered lol

@@smezbuilds9897 my attack power is 11 lmao

Lazulite axe

Fine snow i mean

@@gsaucylifts9026u need to fulfil the Dragon’s Return ending quest by the Divine Child of Rejuvenation. The girl you meet where you got the Mortal Blade. Completing the quest will upgrade her Rice to Fine Snow and unlock the Dragon’s Return ending.

Good job :))

Do you need to have lazulite axe?

As far as I remember I had this upgrade but with all the buffs shown in the video it is not necessary.

What was your attack power?

There are many videos on it. TBH, I don't remember exactly how I did it. I do remember that I left it for last, right before the Sword Saint because it was the hardest one for me. And there was no cheese for it.

I know I'm late but if you still can't beat him, I beat him using Mortal Draw. Memorize his moves and use Mortal Draw whenever you can. He had beaten my ass too for a long time but once I decided to use the Mortal Draw the fight became a joke. It helps that I had memorized his attacks too, lol.

Axe

This is a cheese, not a hack or exploit. For a cheese to work you need to at least come close to matching the prerequisites. And, of course, practice makes better.

pretty sure because lazalite can hit enemies even when they are guarding

Posture damage

You can reach 14 in your first playthrough if you do all bosses. Furthermore, there is an item which allows you to trade skill points for more attack power. In other words, 23 is easily doable in the first ng+ run and with insane grinding even in the very first playthrough.

0:07 20 -Vitality 23 - Attack Power

im like 25+ attack on ng+ and at this point Im just going to have to git gud and fight him the normal attack/deflect way
