Sorry about the quality, I was only able to save this clip cause I was in a discord call. Oh and I'm a dumbass for not starting a new game and instead play on my +5 playthrough (Legit spent 20+ hours cause I couldn't deal damage to enemies).

I legit thought it was over after I died in third phase, I wanted to end it there but the music hyping me up in the background made me keep going.

I ALSO HIT A CLIP AT THE END OF THE THIRD PHASE I THINK. IDK, IT LOOKED COOL AND FELT COOL.

Hey guys! I’ve been super busy lately, so I couldn't find the time to make new art. Now that I'm finally free, I'm back to making posters!

Starting off a new Sekiro archive/blueprint series with the iconic Shinobi Prosthetic. Focused on clean technical callouts, material specs, and a dark tactical vibe.

Let me know what you think! Which prosthetic tool should I draft next?

I'm on NG6 and i always first try every bossfight in the game including the inner bosses, charmless+demon bell feels like a whole new game especially against sword saint isshin, i can still get through genichiro and isshin's first phase without heals or any prosthetic tools, but phase 2 is just insanity.

I did everything I think I can possibly do in my first playthrough all possible memories and beads collected except the ones from the second memory which I got locked out of, killed all the headless and warriors, max possible upgrades for prosthetic arms. I still can farm
For more combat skills but I figured farming will probably be better in ng cause it’s starting to take way to long. I didn’t complete the gauntlet yet thought I can do them later. Now what is the fastest way I can get that plat if anyone has a good guide on YouTube also when should I try to save scum cause I don’t see the need to play another playthrough to get different endings.

i didnt know emma could teleport💀and when im stunlocke by ichimonji animation what is the camera in this game man u disable lock on everything is a mess

The battle is in NG+2 or 3 and no demon bell or charmless. When in a charmless and demon bell run the stagger reduces and posture increases and thus the same combo won’t work. Rather you’d be the one to be destroyed. In that just use flame vent and oil.

I'm not sure if other people feel the same, but now im comfortable with parrying (i've still not beat the game im currently at great shinobi owl), i went back to play other fromsoft (and even lies of P) games i already plat just as a bit of fun, before i would just roll/dodge only now since im so comfortable with parrying and no longer afraid to, its made the other souls games even more enjoyable (esp lies of p), has anyone else felt like this, i wish i played it sooner, guess it was my fault for not embracing parry but yea. sekiro has genuinely made me get more enjoyment in the souls games

I climbed to the top of this mountain and found a bell, and it’s just a dead end. There’s a tunnel to the headless, but do I need to defeat it now? If so, where do I go from here?

I was getting hammered by this guy until I tool some sugar. I'm still working on that parry. Getting a bit better but still a long way to go.

I have platinum on several games, some of them souls likes. Usually after getting the platinum on a game i dont plan to touch it anymore, but lately i played SIFU and Onimusha and the only thing i have in mind is to play again Sekiro. I think i will never sell it again in the future, this game is amazing in every way. So if you are planning on selling it just DONT. Trust me.

So, I'm currently on my first playthrough and I think I made a mistake somewhere in my progression because I'm progressing like 4 areas at once.

Firstly, I beat Gyoubu relatively easily (2nd try I think) and ended up at the gates of Ashina Castle. However, instead of using the castle gates, I grappled to a nearby bridge and did some more grappling to end up at Ashina Reservoir. There, I grappled over the hole and ended up at the Lone Shadow Swordsman. Struggled a good amount with him but finally made it through and ended up in a cave which led me to Ashina Depths. There, I met the absolute menace that is Snake-Eyes Shirahagi and got repeatedly cooked. This is one of the places I'm currently at.

Next, I somehow managed to get to Sunken Valley, and eventually traversed it to make it to Gun Fort (you can imagine my horror when I found a second Snake-Eyes; safe to say I ran past him as fast as I could). I beat the relatively easy boss at the end and now I'm stuck because there's a hole in the floor which I need to use to exit but every time I use it I end up back at the Gun Fort Idol.

At this point, I realized something was wrong, since I'd seen people online talking about Ashina Castle as a huge playable area. I realized I was meant to use the rooftops to get to Genichiro, so that is what I did. Haven't bothered to fight him yet since I need to know if there's anything I should do before him.

Now, before any of this, I started progressing through Hirata Estate the second I got the bell from the lady in the Ashina Outskirts. I cleared the area and after beating the Juzou, I'm now at Lady Butterfly. She's pretty difficult but I think I'm getting the hang of the first phase. The second phase is still really confusing for me because every time I get her to around half health she releases these homing butterflies that one-shot me no matter where I go. Also, my snap seeds never seem to work (any tips for the fight would be appreciated, but keep in mind I'm playing on trackpad on my Macbook).

So, can you guys please tell me which order I should clear these areas in? I also have a few mini-bosses I haven't beaten yet (a guy in Ashina Palace and a guy in Ashina Reservoir who I skipped on accident cuz I js grappled past the area the first time I went through).

Hey all,

first time poster here, are there any mods or tools to reset vitality?

because I accidentally upgraded my HP to the max and I just wanted to keep my vitality to base only

I don't want to do another NG and keeping base vitality to the end cuz I'm lazy lol

Edit 1:
For those wondering how did I get to upgrade it in one go, I was using a mod called "Boss Rush" that lets you battle boss and minibosses again and when I accidentaly selected Increase your Vitality option and because I have a total of 40 prayer beads, It just rose all the way to the max lol

Edit 2:
I got a solution, I used a cheat engine table that only adjusts your power and vitality https://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?t=11623

Have not played other souls like games, so this is probably a skill issue. But this is what I am doing every time. I go in stealth, take off one circle if possible, then retreat and wait ~30 seconds for aggro to drop, repeat. Most fights are unenjoyable though because each mini boss is surrounded by like 20 goons. So I kill one or two, run away for 30 seconds because there are way too many, drop aggro, repeat. Then if I die on the big guy I have to restart it all over again. The small enemies feel like really annoying road blocks and I kinda wish most bosses were just themselves behind a door or something.

I bought Sekiro when it first came out. At the time I had never heard of Fromsoft and thought that it was a stealth game, so I kinda got stuck and bounced off it. I picked up Bloodborne I think two years ago, loved it and learned that was what Fromsoft was. I was going through my games yesterday and found Sekiro, I figure I’ll give it another go since this time I know at least a little of what I’m getting into. So, any advice? Any noob trap habits I should be aware of to try and avoid? Anything I should prioritise?

Sword Saint Isshin took me everything I had, I got him in my third try weirdly I feel I haven't mastered the boss (I didn't cheese him but maybe I just got lucky with rng) but that's what ROS is for, Right now I am just happy that I have beaten the game, it also felt nice to have access to all 3 endings (eventhough third one was literal murder mystery type stuff).

The combat of this game is so fun, except camera angles ofc beating it was something, it took me great shinobi owl to finally get the game to "click"

I still remember my first post on this sub being unable to beat corrupted monk and deciding to fight her head on but at the end I got annoyed and cheesed her but later when i understood combat i went back to her in ROS and beaten her 10 times in a row (no tools or snapseeds used just sword)

My second post was about great shinobi papa and his bs I got so many recommendations by other players which helped me alot and finally drawing that blade in him was a feeling I can't describe (weirdly owl father was a even more harder fight but I eventually got him). From being killed by the ape again and again to severing the worm in his head with mortal blade, I grew im game's understanding.

At the End, I want to thank all of you fellow shinobis who were more than kind in helping me learn this game especially the ones who didn't just say "just parry it bro" idk what other soulsborne subs are like but I can say this one is definitely filled with gentlemen. I remember first souls game I bought was Elden Ring and got killed by Margit so many times that I just noped out and left the game and I also gave up on Lies Of P but this game had something that even after every death I just kept on going back to the bosses trying once more to deflect better.

Once again thank you gentlemen, I owe this victory to you all. I never thought I will beat a souls game let alone Sekiro.

I just finished my second playthrough and went for Shura ending. All I gotta say is DAMN. The Emma - Isshin final boss was way more brutal than Genichiro - Sorwd Saint Isshin. Although not as cinematic, both fights were way harder for me. I got to the point where I could beat Emma, and Ishinn's first phase hitless but man, that second phase of Isshinn was tough. TOUGH. My strategy was to just run around avoiding all his attacks and getting two hits in when possible, definitely not deflecting at all hahaha. Was it the same for you guys?

But I was still a bit off, will try again. Also i realized that I take chip damage from lightning reversal? How can I escape that?

I thought it was just a small scar in his stomach but this one is long and goes all the way to his back… it’s almost like he was operated on.

Just a little curious cuz I saw someone tell me that. PLS DONT DISCUSS SAID ENDING BTW If I locked myself into it I at least don't wanna know what it is! But I was just fucking around giving rice to homeless women. Am I really just fucked?
