Well I guess I finished the game. Unless I missed another boss somewhere, I've got no way of improving myself without brute forcing the bosses over and over in the hopes I make it through one. Brute forcing in a game that really discourages deaths.

You know it'd be much easier your post if you actually mentioned the names and didn't refer to them as "Boss"

It's a pasta.

Even then, I've got no idea what it's referring to. Sekiro has intended progression, you can't be underleveled.

Ashina elite
Lady butterfly
Genichiro

>can't be underlevelled
You can easily skip beads

I guess there could be a dumbass that doesn't know how to upgrade health/attack and keeps getting one shot by trash mobs.

Does snap seed actually do anything? Dude just snaps his finger and nothing happens so I just beat her ass old school

What a weird selection of bosses Ashina Elite is an easy miniboss you can sneak up on, Lady Butterfly requires some memorization and Genichiro is one of the easiest and most telegraphed bosses in the game.

I absolutely refuse to believe that anyone exists who was able to get past Juzou the Drunkard but got filtered by grandma ninja knife.

Fair, I'll give her another go then. I almost beat her, but I didn't bother trying again.

I guess I'm playing the game wrong then. Please teach me oh wise shinobi

Juzou is a 2v1 ofc it's easier

The illusions and homing butterflies that appear in phase 2 of Lady Butterfly are all dispelled when you use Snap Seed
Snap Seeds also take a chunk out of illusion Corrupted Monk at Mibu Village, can be used thrice

Ashina elite is a miniboss on the way to Geni. If you found the back way to Geni he’s technically optional though you should kill him for the prayer bead. The hardest thing about him is you have to double-deflect his up-down strike. The game kinda teaches you that spamming deflect is bad, you should be deliberate, but there’s no penalty for re-tapping if you successfully deflect the first strike. When he does his up-down, tap deflect twice so you deflect both strikes, it takes like 60% of his posture

Butterfly I can’t help you, beat the bitch first try. You got past Juzou you can handle butterfly.

Geni doesn’t have 2 phases. He has 3. Geni is an actual skill check.

Use l1.
You mean the samurai jobber? Don't even bother with him. He only disrupts the flow of the fight.

Well, sneak up on Elite from the reeds, use Snap Seeds on Lady Butterfly, watch for her warps and try to dodge the attacks that won't damage her posture instead of parrying. For Genichiro, it's just a matter of striking when he's open, I usually bait out his bow, dash close and that's 2/3 free strikes.

>Snap Seeds also take a chunk out of illusion Corrupted Monk at Mibu Village
but why would you want to cheese the best fight in the game?

It's the fake one, the real fight takes place later.

I know. Illusion monk is the best fight, real monk is unironically a downgrade

The first time I fought the corrupted monk at the fountainhead it literally took me 4 hours. I don't know what the fuck happened. I beat her first try when I reinstalled the game without even doing the phase skip.

It's something that I experienced during my first playthrough too, on multiple occasions
>get my ass drilled by Gencihiro for an hour
>first try him next day
>same thing happens with Great Shinobi Owl

It wasn't like I was tilted, but putting the game down and returning after a while actually did make me better

He was incredibly helpful, distracts Juzou so you can spam more hits. Just double teamed him and it was free. And yes, I do use one of the basic controls of the game, yes.

Ok great, thanks for telling me nothing new. I got past Geni and then he had a thunder sword and instantly killed me.

I think reinstalling the game AFTER playing the dark souls games did me a lot of good. In DS you adapt to the enemies and match their tempo, in Sekiro you make the enemies match yours. Maybe because I was being, much much more aggressive and not as scared of the bosses.

Use lightning reversal man

that's a natural thing. during sleep your brain goes over the shit you've done.
that's why memorizing shit before sleep is a good idea

Wtf is that

The very second you get struck down by Genichiro's lightning, the game has a tutorial pop-up regarding lightning reversals
But it's alright if you missed it, backtrack to Ashina Dojo. The place where you fought the iaido mini-boss(Ashina Elite).
There will be a hanging scroll in the dojo. Go and read it, it should explain it properly
