[@patrickocallaghan9045]

One thing I love about Genichiro is that he's a symbol of how you improve throughout the game. Your first time it seems impossible, your second time it's a reasonable challenge, the third time he's a pushover. The best part is the cutscenes for each fight. In your first fight Sekiro has to feel for his sword in order to pull it out showing that he is unskilled and rusty at this point of the story. In the second fight he takes his time but doesn't struggle to pull out the sword. But in the third fight Sekiro just pulls out his sword quickly showing he's a true master at the end. Genichiro is such a quality boss for being able to mark your progression throughout the game through both gameplay and cutscenes

I definitely think the demon of hatred is harder than the sword saint. The first time I got to his third phase, I beat Isshin. Not remotely the case with the demon. I actually hadn’t learned to use dodge I-frames for the entire game until the demon of hatred forced me to. Additionally, deflecting Isshin’s attacks felt so badass that it never felt grueling or grindy to me, whereas I spent a long time dying to the demon without having a clue how to survive long enough to defeat it

Isshin embodied the “by hook or by crook” philosophy of winning. He was a samurai, but he would use every possible way to win and survive he could regardless of if it would traditionally be considered “honorable.” I like how he says after giving you the Ashina text that the primary tenet of the Ashina style is just to win, by any means necessary, and he embodies that so well by throwing everything but the kitchen sink at you in that final fight.

Just my opinion, it has its moments, but its just not a fun game. It suffers from having no middle ground in combat, you either fought with perfect timing and melt everything, or you didnt and die

[@ThePandarian]

Gotta say this game still stands true, the combat system is seriously one of the best to ever exist. I haven’t played this game in a year or so but I still have all the muscle memory from the boss fights making them rather easy but still just as satisfying as beating them the first time. The best way I can put it how the combat feels in my mind as a souls veteran is the whole game is like the lady Maria boss fight. Incredible pacing that makes it feel like a true battle between two badass warriors. Truly a game that will stand the rest of time

I still think it's ridiculous to say that Way of Tomoe is a seperate boss. Just because it's a different character doesn't mean he's his own boss fight, he's meant to be Phase 1 of Isshin's. He isn't designed to be a full boss, that's why he's only got the 1 health bar. As a Souls example, we don't count King of the Storm as a separate boss from Nameless King, he's just Nameless King's phase 1.

Hardest boss: FromSoft camera angle

[@Amonimus]

I think at some bosses I've died in 10% of times because the camera unlocks and I can't dodge out of an attack, 20% because the locked camera rotates and I dodge into an attack and 40% because the camera sinks into a wall and gets stuck.

[@FreekinEkin2]

Agreed. More than half of my deaths can be attributed to random unlocking. It's normally due to FromSoft's shitty camera not being able to handle vertical angles, and sometimes because of small rooms. One time, when I was about to defeat Divine Dragon on my first ever try, the camera inexplicably unlocked and I was one-shotted. I have no idea why. There is literally no excuse. In a game that produces so much adrenaline, and hence so much salt, the sense of having been cheated is brutal. FromSoft really should have worked on this. Extra note: The Isshin boss fight became pretty unenjoyable because I could not see what unblockables he was doing, since he'd crouch into the grass for both the thrust and sweep. Punishing me for not being able to see something under the grass is pretty outrageous. This is somewhat avoidable if you coax him towards the busted bridge area. Gehrman had no such issue. This and Cuphead need to learn that obscuring the fight with a foreground/overlay is not a challenge. It is artificial difficulty and no fun.

[@Amonimus]

Bonus points for glorified Dark Souls input buffer, I've enjoyed not being able to defend because I've clicked attack 5 seconds ago while being stunned.

[@FatalisReigns]

lol when you get stuck in a corner in a fight you might as well just step away because its so impossible to see ANYTHING

In my second playthrough i killed her in 20 seconds, locking her with constant attack-attack-block sequence.

There is something special about beating the boss with very low health, or you ran out of resources. It felt like you gave your everything and you succeeded.

So I decided to buckle down and play the boss like a man, I died so many times I had no money left, but I had memorized that old bastard so well that I deflected quite literally, every single one of his attacks, if he threw a thrust I always mikiri’d, and I’d instantly be able to tell what kind of perilous he was going to throw, I had entered a state of zen so great I only healed once during the entire 4 phase fight.

[@ukbleedbluex9340]

Oh dude totally get what you mean. I just started playing about 2 months ago, the first time around I had to run around and bait him the whole time until the 3rd phase. The second time around I took the time to learn the patterns and it became smoothness. I find the first phase the most erratic oddly enough. Right after the you knock the first bar hit him with the mortal blade a few times to build up posture and then pressure him. Hit him twice and get ready to parry, when he does the crazy charged up slashes stand your ground and get ready to parry. If you pressure him enough he’ll always give you a mikiri counter. If lighting reversal isn’t your thing leave some emblems for mist raven feathers and the last phase is a cakewalk. I absolutely loved this game, IMO the hardest boss is the demon of hatred hands down, fuck him lol.

Am I the only one that found isshin in his saint form easi?

I don’t know why my experience with the guardian ape was so different than other peoples but I didn’t have a problem deflecting him at all in the first phase. I didn’t run away from him except to heal and to avoid his terror attack. So basically it was just like the rest of the game. His grabs weren’t even that frustrating for me either. Every time I got hit by one, I felt like it was completely my fault and not the game being unfair.

[@danejr9785]

Same here but with isshin, I had heard he was extremely hard not to mention had 4 phases. So when I got to him I was disappointed when I did it on my 7th try. Demon of hatred however, different story.

[@jacobnorris8256]

The grab is pretty bullshit, specifically if you choose to dodge instead of jump it. The attack is designed to have you jump over it, but it's also often possible to dodge backwards against it. Problem is that jumping backwards only works if you already have some slight distance to him (IE: Too close and you're guaranteed to get hit, maybe unless your reaction speed is godly), making the attack seem inconsistently unavoidable. Sure, they could learn to jump the attack instead, but once you've implanted backwards dodging into your muscle memory, you're extremely unlikely to try anything else out, and even if you do learn you're supposed to jump it, it's MUUUCH harder to unlearn back-dodging and how to jump it than it is just learn to jump it. It is a pretty badly designed attack for how it encourages people to play incorrectly against it.

The most genuinely, straightforwardly difficult feeling fight for me was probably Owl (Father). I was stuck longer on Sword Saint, but Sword Saint is kind of an endurance fight and a good chunk of its difficulty just comes from how fucking LONG it takes. Owl is more straightforward and just HARD with no caveats or increased added element of repetition.

[@Robkinggozer]

Yeah same for me. What doesn't help is that I never managed to get into deflecting much. So I kept going at Owl Father untill I finally managed to beat him without deflecting at all. That experience helped with dealing with Isshin.

[@TheGamingCamel22]

Me too! Yeah Isshin is not easy and it's a long fight, but at least his posture bar builds up faster and you can kinda be more aggressive with him. Owl Father is tankier, hits harder and his posture barely builds up, and even after learning all his moves, 1 mistake is very deadly! It took me almost triple the time it took me to defeat Isshin Sword Saint.

[@benhartmann5407]

[@ilzuab8467]

I actually never really used prosthetics on my first playthrough (other than the ape gank) not because i thought it was cheesy but more because i didn't think they were that useful, and with that, the false corrupted monk is such a fun but challenging fight.

My hardest boss was Demon of Hatred, then the regular Owl Father, then Sword Saint. I never even fought Inner Owl, who would realistically be my hardest boss. I don't know what it is about Owl, maybe the fact that I play soulslikes as simply as possible and almost never used the shinobi prosthetic, but that boss kicked my ass so hard.

Did purification ending yesterday and surprisingly did super well despite suffering so much with the gauntlets: Inner genichiro & isshin. By the difficulty of the bosses i top isshin as top 1 for most challenging and demon of hatred as the hardest if you can’t doge and time ur strikes, genichiro’s a boss that u can’t run away because u will get punished but a fun boss the more you learn ( died by the bow more than the lightning at fp & gauntlet). Monke’s only hard if you panic, same with true monk they scary first glance. Great shinobi/owl father r just favorites of mine in the 2nd run, died so much in the first playthrough, only best solution for them both is to fight them in the middle and back off when necessary and never thrust for obv reasons.

Eh? You can block most bosses in DS3 with the proper greatshield. Apart from Midir and Friede DS3 doesn't have hard bosses.

[@doomsday349]

VDA personally I think Gael is harder than midir at this point, though that’s not me saying midir isn’t difficult but you don’t really need to block midir, if you can learn the signs of his attacks you may get hit a few times but for the most part you’ll be fine

[@oph0322]

Great vid dmod! I voted Demon of Hatred as the hardest boss and I regret that. After defeating him I noticed I was doing my good old DS play style - waiting for an opportunity and testing my patience. The true hardest boss for me after the second and third play through with the hardship plus the demon bell is Iishin Ashina (shura ending). The fire iishin hits like a truck and hes so fast that if you deflect or jump one second later you're already dead. The second phase is more ridiculous when you flee away to heal and he set the whole stage on fire like Ragnaros. Plus the follow up attack after the fire is another ridiculous attack given by iishin. I actually shouted with joy when I finally defeated him. What a great boss he is.

[@evanisthemans]

Oph shadowrush really helps with him

[@blackbone02]

Loaded Suzaku Umbrella for the second phase and he becomes trivial.

[@warefareoid]

I just beat Sword Saint isshin for the first time yesterday. Ironically, I think I found the demon of hatred 100x more difficult. Gave up after 10 tries. Isshin feels more like a steady stream of progress as it really tests your mastery over what you’ve learned in sekiro. Once you take a seat back and see that, you see his patterns are pretty consistent.

[@charlieblott4364]

Genichiro is definitely my favourite boss, The design of the fight is so great as it teaches the player to use timely deflects over dodges and forces you to be reactionary in phase 2 as he mixes up some of his attacks. After beating Genichiro I was no longer playing Dark souls or Bloodborne I was Playing Sekiro

[@joelbyrnes9710]

Yes, yes I agree. I just finished the game, defeating Sword Saint Isshin before watching this, and after 15 plus hours of failed attempts and a smashed controller later, I can say Isshin is definitely a top 5 in all the games I have ever played for difficulty.

[@augiedoggie389]

I know I’m late to the party, but demon of hatred was probably easier than owl (father) to me because I used the Phoenix umbrella for most of his unblockables then slowly turtle shuffle to him while still holding the umbrella out😂 it’s just a strategy I don’t see used very often

[@Lackadaisicxl]

I used phoenix umbrella too but mainly For that jump attack and when he through those rocks/2nd phase drop slash that widens the fire aoe

[@VivyTheHuntress]

While Sword Saint is insanely difficult, he’s such a balanced fight. He never feels unfair.

[@ElCyberiusOrchestra]

Owl Father was so much harder for me...even Genichiro was more difficult...you just parry Isshin and his posture builds extremely quickly. For Owl father it takes forever.

[@MrRetrogoo]

Until he pulls out his .45 shinobikiller.

[@chadblackburn5290]

Genichiro definitely made me learn the deflect system instead of trying to dodge

[@daseancedoesgeek2667]

It’s crazy how once you actually GET the guardian ape fight, it definitely gets easy

[@carljohan9265]

The thing about both ape and hate demon is that you need to focus on vitality damage rather than posture damage. Avoid their attacks rather than parry because it's usually not worth it. It also helps to use fire on ape since he is very weak to it, and the phoenix umbrella for demon since it can block his fire attacks and prevent the burn buildup.
