Sekiro - Exploring Ashina Castle (First Invasion) | Stealth Kills & Boss Fight | No HUD Gameplay

[@bruceyt6303]

And I used to think bite down was useless. Amazing outside the box thinking. Making use of near every tool and technique. Incredible mastery of this game sir

[@armonraphiel4028]

Super useful for bosses. If an enemy kills you, you have to kill them before you can recharge and use your revive again. Use bite down before your killed (first life) and can get a chance at reviving again.

[@BigDBrian]

@@armonraphiel4028 it's moderately useful. If you're just using it like you said, then effectively it is at best a half health bar of heal, or an extra gourd. However, death gets rid of status effects, too, which is particularly helpful against Great Shinobi Owl and certain mini-bosses.

[@tomasu301]

Same for purple fame firecracker. The stat is too little and the delay is thought useless. But Ongbal uses it to stun enemy at the right time to makes some combo works such as empowered mortal draw

[@Cookieunks123]

Hey Ongbal, I had an interesting idea for future boss fights. Do you know if it’s possible to have the camera follow the boss from its POV? If so, it would be cool to see how terrifying it is to face Sekiro the way you play him. Love the vids as always

[@buckyhurdle4776]

@Garamond theres gotta be someone smarter than me that could figure out how to do it on pc

[@fulltimeslackerii8229]

that’s genius

[@thanhng948]

I remember there's a game haven done that but don't remember the name, and controlling a character while you're in someone else's view is pretty hard.

This stealth gameplay videos are the best, no hesitation movements and advanced skills. I am just waiting the time for Ongbal exploring Yharnam!!

[@paulkwiatkowski1969]

I havent seen Ongbal play Bloodborne yet. Does he?

[@Antonio-ed6bt]

@@paulkwiatkowski1969 No, I have not watched it yet, but Ongbal has played also Dark Souls, I think it would be interesting seeing a gameplay in Bloodborne.

Of course no hesitation movements. Hesitation is defeat

[@Gameatron-cj1sc]

Now this is what I believe a Shinobi is like. Quick, efficient, and no hesitation. Using every tool and skill he has on him. Very well done, a true master Shinobi.

[@senseweaver01]

These 'Exploring' videos are my favourite Sekiro uploads! Pleaseeee do as many as you can, pleaseeee!

[@XxsaintsblackxX]

I love these. Glad you’re back to doing them. I love the boss fights ones but these are even more creative imo. It’s like a real movie

[@nqtduc]

I didn't know this stealth is possible in this area. You really opened my eyes

[@LustyLichKing]

Both the combat and the stealth in Sekiro reward high-octane aggressive action, which is especially interesting in the latter's case given that stealth in games is typically slow and methodical. I have great respect for your style of play and especially your skill. This is how Miyazaki dreamed his masterpiece looked when he slept; you have brought that dream to life.

[@TitoMcFadden]

That jump to get the deathblow on Ogre was really impressive. Using ledge hangs and finger whistle to get stealth kills on the Long Shadows was just showing off. I never would have thought to do that.

[@maplemiyazaki]

I’ve put 500+ hours in, and this is still so satisfying to watch. Amazing job.

[@RickAstleyGIGACHAD]

A true master shinobi like ongbal goes hand in hand with his community

Always showing us the maximum value that sekiro brings to us. Thanks again

[@afh7380]

This is the my favorite movie series. You sir are not only godly skilled, You're an artist that any game is lucky to have you turning it into a satisfying piece of art.

[@luubang3343]

those stealth gameplay show your incredible knowledge of the game, great job Ongbal, you always make me suprise. big Fan of you. Quick question, how many hours you spent at this game ?

[@jacksonr260]

Successfully deflecting the lone shadows kick combos is so satisfying! Amazing video as always

[@evanstephens2203]

Absolutely beautiful. I never thought to use the whistle from the ledge like that to make Lone Shadows look like such chumps. The shuriken+chasing slice to take down shinobi hounds was a great tactic too that I’m definitely going to use. I don’t know how many hours I’ve played this game and I didn’t know that tiny red guy was hanging on the wall down near the broken bridge. I think it would be really cool if Fromsoft added a mode in their next game or someone made a mod that would grade your performance on a level/area like in Tenchu or Metal Gear to encourage more players to play this way. Have you ever considered doing 2 v 1 fights? You’re the only player I think could do it without excessive kiting or cheesing. Sparring with 2-3 Lone Shadows at once is really fun but I can never do it without taking damage.

[@_ONGBAL]

A many-to-one fight is definitely possible, but it is very difficult to control unless it is an overpower strat such as a Mortal Blade spamming(in this case, many-to-one fight become meaningless). If not, many-to-one fight easy to become messy rather than cool. So.. I think I need to thought a lot about this for better fight.

[@nel2777]

9:17 what a nice beat! HAHA

[@paras6TEEN]

Ongbal's Stealth Series has a different fan base 🤞 Another Masterpiece!

[@mohiburrahman5055]

You're just amazing. Quick run through out every inch of an area, still you managed pull out little but lively conversations. Also sneaking behind to hear small converses and covering full bundle of it at the exact time, hard work + sweet. Quick run + pauses, great. 👍🏽 hoping more from you.

[@47Legolas]

It's fun to do battle on our own way while playing sekiro, and once its done its time to do this the ongbal way. By that way its challanging and really entertaining to play sekiro again and again . Thanks ongbal for the videos keep making exploration videos.

[@link_valravn]

This has to be some of the finest gameplay I have ever seen! Really well done :)

The use of bite down to reset the enemies, woah

[@PhilipTheBird]

Holy ships Ongbal you did something I've been thinking about but kept running into problems with. Your creativity in this stealth run is awe-inspiring. That use of Bite Down was brilliant. 10/10 You inspired me!

[@yourlocalmilkman6118]

It’s absolutely absurd how good you are at this game. Such a blast to watch. Helped me get to NG4

[@onceup111]

Hey, Ongbal! I just played Sifu, and I found so many similarities between that game and Sekiro, especially on Parrying/Deflecting system and posture bar. While I played that game, just imagined what you can do with that insanely skilled you are on Sekiro with Sifu already made me so excited. So, it would be great if you try that game out, and upload your gameplay videos!!

[@mrtoot643]

been watching your videos quite a long time, you are the Sekiro in the real world! ❤️

[@thephoenixxy]

9:17 That rhythmic deflect-run sound.

[@GenLiu]

[@drakaryonn]

Good to bring stealth back! Love these one! I hope that you made for every area!

And by exploring ongbal means massacring every living soul inside the walls of the castle.

[@benedict6962]

Dat shura's gotta come from somewhere, you know?

[@MananaMan]

The concept of a shura in this game is that of a large and loud flaming beast, but I'd like to think that the shura form of sekiro is a shadow that you never see until it's too late.

[@vikasmaniram4059]

That double jump to grapple at 5:43 after killing the guy looks so fucking fluid and badass.

[@AyushXtha]

Damn! Its so satisfying to watch. Makes me want to play the game once more :-)

[@Pharthrax]

Another one! These Stealth Gameplay videos are some of my favorite that you make. They’re so cool, to see all the neat ways you traverse the environment to stay in stealth. Also, can you link me the mod you use to get rid of pop-ups? You didn’t get the pop-ups for the coin purses after killing the mini-bosses. The one I found didn’t work. (Hopefully I didn’t just install it incorrectly or something…)

Playing stealth make you feel on tension but it's always rewarding

[@laurence2424]

You missed one ministry rat (red gnome). When you're facing the castle, in the section to the right (where all the Ashina shinobi were), he is on a small ledge between buildings with a grabable ledge. You can use the whistle finger to allert and find him.

[@minhgiangtuan96]

Seeing a lot of combat video, sometimes watch some stealth gameplay is really interresting, show more how good the gameplay and environment design form FormSolfWare are.

I love your stealth gameplay videos , btw instead of using bite down at 2:25 u could hide behind the door and stealth deathblow both of them (although your technique is correct as well but not everyone is able to survive against these guards without resurrection 😂😂😜) Edit : what's that assassin talking about btw ? 9:03

[@_ONGBAL]

Of course I tried wall deathblow but sometimes second guy is keep alert and stuck in inside 😩

[@darkshadow68668]

Yup that happens sometimes 😅 , 2nd guy's just stuck on alert mode

[@everythingsalright1121]

Probably some sort of trap by that gateway

[@AvgAtBes2]

The nightinjar ninjas usually roam around the ashina castle roofs, especially near the couple of towers near the pool. To allow the longshadows and also owl in with less fighting, he baited them to the old grave - serpent valley bridge area, leaving only a few of them. The one nightinjar is killed somewhere near the 5 red hat dwarfs in the roofs and one is at the exit after loneshadow vilehand. And the place is now infested with loneshadhows, shinobis of interior ministry

[@the_Red_Star]

letting the player sprint, fall and grapple without alerting enemies was such a good decision. it makes the difference between darting around unimpeded, shredding people like a supernatural murderer, and having to take 30 seconds for every kill because you have to crawl everywhere for the sake of realism.
