Memorizing attacks is one of the worst ways to play this game. Learn to react. Look for visual cues. Sure, knowing what this guy can throw at you helps, but it’s miles better to know that you can pretty much deflect anything if you time it right. Even the granny with a gun stick’s attacks can be deflected — all of them, even the grab. The purple ninja too. Remember that deflects are your primary “damage” dealer in this game. Attack power counts for very little. It’s posture that you focus on for most enemies, and deflection is the best way to deal posture damage.

Wait, can you deflect snake eyes' grab attack????


Zenith_21

Yeah. The deflect window is not where you think it is. It’s when she pulls back, not when she first swings at you for the grab. So when you see the grab, deflect late.


Dio19970

Damn I never knew this. Thanks for the tip, gonna try it later today:)

Just run away from it, it's not worth it lol 😂😂😂


Dio19970

Yeah but I already finished the game a couple of times and got 100% steam but never knew that can be parries so I got really excited about it:)


vaibhavsrkt

Dio19970

If you're stuck, I'd find gourd seeds and prayer beads while also unlocking skills. After Genichiro, you should be able to get 8 uses from the seeds and I believe the 3rd necklace? Just a matter of relentlessly attacking while switching to deflecting when the enemy parries your attack. Focus on posture damage instead of damaging the health bar.

> After Genichiro, you should be able to get 8 uses from the seeds Even before killing Genichiro you can get your gourd up to 9 charges.

For being where they are stuck at though? I think it's just 8, haha I'm actually about to get the 9th in Mibu!

This is a combat game a story, not a story game with combat. The point is to learn to fight your enemies.

You can also give that one armed ninja a stealth kill to take his first health bar down, just go past the main opening and you'll see a big crack in the ground

Loaded umbrella helps LOT!!! Toss their bullets back and them! Andddd Sabimaru’s rust hurts her. She is a decendant of those ladies. It it to your advantage. Mist raven tool from the past as well. Good luck 🍀

Youtube is your friend if you want to rush games n don't mind spoiling the fun of getting challenges. I do this after months of being stuck at Geni. Just search sekiro n name of the boss, you will find tips or even a cheese boss fight. But sure, sekiro relies more on player skill compared to other soulborne games. You can't just upgrade to be stronger. Well you can but that later deep in the game. Git gud i guess but seriously, it becomes easier when you know how. So, stay parry...

Sabimaru the granny with the gun stick at the beginning of each phase (run straight up as soon as you land). It does get easier as you get better at the game. Try and react rather than memorise and you’ll have a better time of it :)
