New game + or normal NG

@@thebadspeedrunner both obviously

Thanks brother been getting my ass handed to me because I went in blind to enjoy it but man is just too hard and you always help out from soft games man appreciate it

Hey cowboy i guess by talking about this game alot my dad was like go ahed and get it as a early birthday present and thats all because you persuaded me into getting it at first i was like this is dumb they should have made ds4 insted but i hope im gonna like it but its downloading now so goodbye.

I have a question. Do you just spam the button to deflect or press it once at the right time on enemy's hit?? I'm just some where new to the game, at the Horse riding guy after the Snake, playing on PC with a joystick. But the deflects are so hard to make. I timed it right but only works on the 1st hit, the 3,4 hits after just straight blocks it instead and i got a ton of posture to myself. i've tried so many times, and start thinking it because of my input delay.

Oh god

Well ... he's still just a puppy ...

Nightjar slash will stunlock her. If she manages to break out, use firecrackers then back to nightjar spam.

I farmed blazing bull for over 5 hours. Lady buterfly died on first try. What's wrong with me.

5 days later and ive become a true shinobi, cured my dog of the dragonrot and as he ran to me my shinobi reflexes kicked in by instantly deflecting and countering, and i have not seen him since

I know how you feel, I just killed the shinobi hunter for the first time yesterday. today I will be attempting the chained ogre.

stinky stupid yes I got him on Wednesday! In the end I just spammed Flame Vent and throwing oil, and dodged his grabs and kicks. The animation for the final deathblow started before I even knew what was happening. I got Tenzen yesterday and with it my first prayer necklace. I’ve made a few goes at Gyoubu since then and I’m learning every single time.

I spent an hour trying to kill the chained ogre

man fist miniboss in a game took me 6 times to kill

Mini boss? I can't even beat the guy guarding the gate by the shuriken prosthetic....

your health bar get that big once you reach the end and collecting all prayer beads, they are not hard to find.

Lmao.... Best comment

@@js100serch I’m on the guy with a spear boss near early game should I have 4 beads right now?

@@RedorBlueDaily I presume you were talking about the shinobi hunter, then it is perfectly normal for you to not have 4 prayer beads yet

@@Mrowkaqq ok thank you though I’m on the drunk boss right now any tips for him? The fight itself does not seem that hard but I keep spawning at an area where I have to fight a bunch of enemies before reaching him

Yeah, the exact opposite of what dark souls has taught us

I noticed the loading screen mention that. I thought I misread.

Lol wow talk about a shocking change

So, basically only block the instant you get hit?

@@ElixirEdits no unless your moving you want to gaurd and go for defects see you can tap it during the hold to try a deflect while keeping your gaurd up

Facts the first few hours of the game I was taking on multiple threats at once, dying a lot and not having fun. Then I realized it's because the only game even remotely similar to this I've played is Jedi Fallen Order and I was playing like it. But in this game you're not a powerful Jedi, you're a cunning ninja. After I embraced that difference the whole thing started to be more enjoyable

Same here man, I kept uninstalling the game because I was like oh this shit is too boring and since yesterday, I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game so much in a looonnnngggg time. I'm still dying a lot, lol but now I know that it's not the game, it's just me.

@@buddbrown6858 what’s the key to starting to enjoy it? I’m getting wrecked man. I know to pick enemies off one at a time but I’m bad at combat

@@buddbrown6858 How do you know when to attack when you’re in a sword fight with someone? I deflect and deflect but when do I attack

@@WizzlyBearW0rms (Sorry if this is a bit long) I'd say accepting that honest combat will cause you to die over and over again which isn't fun, so fight as unfair as possible. Stealth kills are a start but just the beginning. Certain enemies are weak to stuff so you can exploit that in fights. Like how I spent 3 hrs fighting the giant ogre 1-on-1 with the sword when I could've just got the flame vent and burned it as bunch for an easier time. Or even lower level stuff like how fistful of ash can temporarily stagger enemies for free hits or the ceramic pot can lure enemies for easier stealth kills. Once you start doing that the game is more about tactics AND THEN from there you can dig into combat more cuz you're taking on 1-on-1 fights you know you have a chance with. But fighting unfair is also not being afraid to use guides, either walkthroughs or even combat guides to give you some combinations to think about. Can help to tell you how to beat certain bosses or even just the most effective orders to get skills and weapons (would've helped me if I knew about the flame vent 🙃). Some ppl don't like using guides but if you're not enjoying it or just feel kinda underpowered even several hours into the game like I did, I don't see the game in looking up something to help But as far as combat specifics, first learn how to Parry and perfect parry often, consistently (for posture damage) and get in attacks in between to seal the deal. Someone once said combat in this game is about rhythm and I very much agree. Enemies all have different, varied attack patterns and can counter you the way you can counter them, so you have to learn their patterns, Parry (or simply avoid them in case of perilous strikes), then make your counter attack with shinobi tools, items etc, then get back on defensive to repeat. It's a dance. But you've got to stay aggressive bc the way the posture system works, but also figuring which skills, items and combat arts are useful in punishing opponents (Ichimonji is a good general one that you can access early and is strong even in the late game). And don't be afraid to experiment as you get more tools, the game's interactions make a lot of logical sense. Throwing oil on enemies than using flame vent can burn pretty much anyone (still to mixed success). Enemies without armor are more susceptible to the poison blade. Firecrackers stun enemies for free hits. Lastly I'd say practice things you're looking to try out on weaker enemies to get a chance to practice parrying and see what stuff works in combat. Can also help you farm XP to purchase some of these more useful skills, combat arts etc. Hope any of this helps

same in 2022

@@haojudai5271 is it realy that hard? I got mine today and going to play tonight the first time.

I just started tonight, after finishing Ghost of Tsushima. This is a bit more challenging.

@@Jeroen-1989 it's not too hard. It's just very different from other souls games. Blocking and stuff is unlike anything in any other fromsoftware game.

@@christopherwalken5983 ghost of tsushima is a great game but to compare it to sekiro difficulty you’d have needed to play max difficulty

Upgrade your vitality and healing gourg first. When its time to battle him, analyze first his attack moves (you can block most of his attacks). There is an openning after he finished his combo, that's when you attack with your thrust attack (hold R1 for this). Becareful though, this can only be done in split seconds. Now, for the "openning after his combo" I mentioned earlier: When he charge at you, block his first attack and then a red kanji appears above sekiro head, which means he will attack with thrust. Don't (seriously, just don't) try to mikiri counter him, you will lose most of your health after doing this. What will you do is step-doge backward right after the red kanji appears then counter with your thrust attack. Do this fast or he might block this. There is also an openning when he is going to attack you with his bow & arrow in such a heavy force. You can block this but I recommend you to step-dodge this (Left or Right side, your choice) then go with thrust attack. I mostly damaged him using thust attacks. Now you executed 2 deathblows and defeated him? Nah! There's another round. This time he will remove his armor off and will try to electrify you. The thrust attacks I mentioned is still important here but you need another specific technique to counter his electricity. Hope you read the scroll paper after you defeated the mini boss before facing genichiro. If you already acquired this skill (I dont know what its called) try to jump when he will attack with electricity (sword or arrow) absorb the jolt and after that, press R1 before you hit the ground and you'll deal a lot of damage and he will be stunned for a sec which is your signak to attack with thrust. This 2nd phase battle is a lot easier for me but you might still need a health gourg after you defeated him in 1st phase battle.

Angelbert Acosta actually you should always mikiri counter his red kanji in phase 1 as it is always a thrust, he only gets the sweep move in his second phase. Second phase you just side step when he jumps up, 1 slice and then jump back. If your quick you can obviously mario stomp his skull but i didn’t take any risks with a three wave fight.

@@kyleblackburne2870 is it just my game or genichiro counter my counter to him? Like he always counter my mikiri and then lose most of my health and when I jump-kick him when he sweep attack then he counters me with my own counter and lose again most of my health.

Have you beat it?

@@lourequinlourequin2833 yeah, a long time ago lol. Got platinum on PS4.

May I ask? Is it because he continued the NG+ or because I miss many prayer breads that I don't have that much heath XD?

@@poomhcg544 I think this is max vit (20) and not sure I'm not the best person to ask bc I'm stuck at the top of Ashina Castle bc I'm sure you know why ;)

@@TheRedCyndaquil LOL Keep fighting man!

Yeah it looks big but it's gone in like 3 hits xD

@@poomhcg544 If you get ALL minibosses you get max vitality.

I believe that's the beauty of it

I was justing thinking this

You have stamina But just in real life

I thought it just wasn’t showing my stamina and it was tripping me out cause I was doing the same thing lol

Imagine being a trained shinobi and being able to sprint for only a few meters

how is it so far??? Once you have master this game combat and learned all skill and shit and play again new game with everything saved. you will destory everything

That makes 2 of us lol.. can't get past him.

Exactly he never disappoints

😢😢😢

LMAO

Well.. he is... just in a slippery way.

Kristinn Hjorleifsson i think your surname is harder than the game, no offense: D

​@@diaznuts5947 your name is funny 😂

Ikr all the hate is just salty dark souls players

I hope From Software makes a new improved Armored Core game at some point. As good as those games were, I feel like the developers have grown as game designers and could improve upon the old formula now.

I just beat Isshin today. Was so satisfying.

honestly you can really just spam deflect and you will be fine

The key timing with your block button

Honestly the game just does that. I'm holding the block button but im not blocking shit. Even when i parry attacks it's not working

@@trulytobi6464 git gud

How do you know when to attck

it's really true ... I was way too cautious with the Shinobi Hunter and he killed me quite a lot as a result. At some point I got kinda pissed off and just rushed in and pelted his ass, throwing in a Mikiri whenever the opportunity arose. Fucker was dead within like 15 seconds ...

@@rogthepirate4593 frick ya 🤌🏽

kaffaj well it is good predict

Lol ambientation is that a word?

I entirely attribute my skill in this game to Rockband and none of it to Souls.

@@FightinCowboy I like that a lot. I'll try to incorporate that mind set, as well. Thanks again for the video and especially thank you to replying to my comment. Lol still having some terrible but getting better, I feel.

The other souls games are fun too. Might wana check them out at some point.

Bigpapa 😍

Same condition 🤣😢

I cant defeat the horse man​@goRAxt07

But he calls out each skill's name and shows it on the screen...

No no no. This is definitely a dark souls game, but it’s a dark souls game on the very hard difficulty. It’s a dark souls game for professionals.

@@-wack it might be harder but it’s more fun

Sword Saint Isshin gives the players the best advice. "Hesitation will get you killed"

Fr nice picture bro I got the same plus good username

Global Saturation same. It’s because we are so fast the game feels short.

@@globalsaturation7333 hi, i heard there r 4 endings on sekiro. Does it means it requires 4 playthrough to get all 4 endings?

Global Saturation same. I play games on the daily but it was even worse in terms of nonstop playing. I played till 5 am and until anyone said to chillout I would’ve kept going. It’s addictive and fun.

Global Saturation lol I lose track of time so easy with sekiro, last couple times I’ve stopped playing because I started hearing magpies outside in the morning 😂

I havent started this game yet, but reading these comments let's me know to take a few days off work when I start. I had to do that for a few games I literally couldn't stop playing. Everybody gives me shit for taking vacation time to play video games

If you do the peddlers mission you're able to purchase scrap metal and gun powder from him as much as you want

Miles Hawkins where is he

@@mileshawkins6225 I've already done that I want the rare items for the maxed upgrades

@Leon S. Kennedy Yeah... i killed him at harata estates, didnt realize it was him lol

How??? Im stuckkkk ffs. Did you have base vitality and 1 Healing Gourd? All videos I watched, I see they have 4 Healing Gourds and they say it's easy ://

@@Random131_ you should have more than one gourd and base vitality! I'm not following cowboy's guide to the t I'm just doing my first playthrough. There's another really good video by someone else where it shows to use shurikens when she's in the air, there are also other bosses you can do first and skills you can unlock! Good luck man

@TOMORROWVEIL Thanks, it turned out I was doing the Hirata Estate before going through Ashina outskirts. I found a Gourd seed but General Tenzen Yamauchi is giving me a hard time. God damn it I suck ://

Lady butterfly fucked me up for hours 😂😯

Bruh i just bought mine fuu😂

Maybe you'll learn some anger management because of it.

Itachi would clear a room without a sound, and no one would bat an eye. It's fucking Naruto who would announce his presence and charge in like a dumbass...

Dragonrot affects NPC sidequests so just cure it as you feel necessary.

FightinCowboy alright, it’s kinda what I guessed! Thanks man

I tap almost exclusively. The only time I'll block is if it's a huge multi-attack I don't know the timing for that I know I can't deflect.
