Overcoming The Hardest Souls Platinum!

And he kept clutching the lightning reversals on Isshin. He kept dodging to the side, which meant less vertical height, making it much harder to redirect properly.

Honestly this might be fromsoftware's magnum opus. The art style,the animations,the pace,the length and of course the combat everything about was just perfect and balanced. No bs gimmicky fights like malenia. No stupid unfair 3/2v1s that are based on luck. No time wasting heal farming. No constantly repeating boss fights with bigger health bars and more damage that serve no other purpose but to be a filler. Just absolutely well thought out level designs and bosses

[@romxilda]

A 35 minute video? The king of trophy hunting is spoiling us all! Awesome work as always Nick

[@CorvoGibbons]

Huge respect for platinuming this game man! I don't have the guts to even try one of the really hard games like this normally! Loving your stuff lately, keep up the good work!

[@weeaboojones2451]

Sekiro's combat is unforgiving but once you get it, the challenge is actually pretty well thought, Isshin Sword Saint is one of my favorite final bosses ever, it demands pretty much everything that you've learned.

[@sonicjaxon8107]

i beat sekiro the first month it came out, it was my first fromsoftware game i beat. I struggled at first but but got really good with the mechanics , after watching videos on sekiro years later i am NOW realizing that this game is waaaaay harder than what i thought when i was playing and It makes me proud to know i beat this as my first. I hope they make a sequel..

[@cosbusta]

Great video, It truly felt like a journey like most Fromsoft games. Got the platinum myself a couple of months ago, loved every minute of it. The platinum itself isn't hard as most of it is just playing the game a couple of times and grinding for experience for a few hours. Now if one finds the game hard, then I imagine you will struggle. I was fortunate enough that the gameplay clicked for me and I was having too much fun to feel any frustration from having to repeat a few bosses several times.
