Sekiro’s Platinum Cost Me My Sanity

Sekiro's platinum took years off my life. Sekiro is considered the hardest fromsoft game, and it might truly be. I wanted to try something different on the channel so I hope you guys enjoy this video. love you guys :)
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an intense, third-person, action-adventure set against the bloody backdrop of 14th-century Japan. Step into the role of a disgraced warrior brought back from the brink of death whose mission is to rescue his master and exact revenge on his arch nemesis.

What game would you guys like me to platinum next?? :)

[@toxic4nia723]

Elden Ring Should be easier than this for you

[@morandini-haydenfamilyemai4071]

Hmm I think it would be bloodborne Alright I'm messing but there's a game called ghostwire tokyo ³/10 difficulty but it has a lot of items to collect

[@lppearson5025]

I mean it's not platinum but a sekiro randomizer would be dope

[@muscle_bird]

Hollow knight

[@LiterallyErlkingHeathcliff]

Unpopular option: persona 5 royal

[@masterhewg1166]

As someone who got the platinum for this game i can safely say that unlocking all skills is the most painful achievement, after the first 3 playtroughts beating the bosses becomes a breeze compared to the first one but farming exp for 3+ hours in new game is a whole different suffering

[@kylimoo]

I was about to type out this exact comment. Getting the remaining skill points really was an absolute nightmare.

[@tristanoestreich2372]

Have also done this, will agree

[@hollow_Shiin]

As someone who got it too I agree it must have been the most grinding I did to get trophy in my life

[@imaleg3nd781]

Indeed that trophy alone made it to where I didn’t get the platinum till three years later after already getting every other achievement💀

[@flumu7229]

I had luck with that cause i messed up somewhere i had to do 4 playthroughs which was fine and i just had to grind an hour and did that in a loop but it still was annoying af xD correction: i had to grind more on the temple for the lumps of fat you need for the prosthetics

i did elden ring before this and got platinum for both and i gotta say i enjoyed sekiro 10x mroe because of how fast the gameplay was

[@elshubi52]

Wasn't my first one but def my favourite fromsoft game even more than Bloodborne

[@Afrocypher9590]

I am here, and despite what I've heard from other from Software games this will always be my favorite introduction.

[@maxvitor7023]

I imagine how he would do against Inner Owl XD. And the Shura ending isn't just sad, it's fucking terrifying. The only weapons that can stop him and are powerful enough to give someone else a chance are on his possession and the only guy skilled enough to kill Shuras was already too old and sick to end you. This means the world had to deal with an imortal, unmatched monster that only lives to kill.

[@kraitttt]

talking about terrifying in the ending owl has genichiros head in his left hand and then in the cutscene places the head besides isshins corpse.

[@brianmaposua870]

Sekiro is the first game I ever platinum. Bought it when it was released and took me 3 years to complete it. Definitely worth it.

I went from 1st playthrough to all achievements on Steam in a total of about 90 hours. If I had gotten gud I would probably say it could be done in under 60. Definitely difficult and time consuming but also very doable and rewarding if you both enjoy the gameplay and the game itself as much as I did. I think this is my favorite Fromsoft game so far based on gameplay and aesthetic alone.

agreed, this game's amazing and worth the stress of plat lol

[@crispyshadow3729]

I understand what you mean about the Purification ending it feels way more fitting for Wolf, as a last act to grant Kuro's wish, instead of what I think is a selfish true ending as Wolf lives to serve but at what cost are you willing to do so, like a machine going to get food for his long dead master refusing to stop because it's all THEY lived for not their master's actual wishes.

So, keep up the good work. For the past couple of years off & on this game is like the 5th game on my completed Platinum list so far & proud of it, and I definitely like the story, the characters, the gameplay, the atmosphere, etc...

[@optimistichuman]

that’s the journey I’m on rn lol

[@joebk44]

Honestly I didn’t think the actual platinum was that bad, the grinding was annoying though for the skil points. I found a method though, if you do the shura ending to ng+6 then get to fountain head palace, there’s a light that’s right at the lake with the big tree there’s 3 enemies behind it that if you kill them gives you 10k experience in like 20 seconds. Made it so much easier.

[@29mbj62]

Idk how the fromsoft fans think sekiro is the hardest u can literally finish the game easily without even upgrading anything u just need the sword u get from the beginning of the game from the master even the platinum was the easiest y’all are just trash at the game if u think it’s the hardest.

[@optimistichuman]

damn

[@victorbenoin4732]

I'd wager it's cause being a Souls veteran actually plays against you (being used to dodge is a bad habit in Sekiro), hence did Souls Veterans have more trouble with this title than with any other traditional SoulsBorne

[@29mbj62]

@@victorbenoin4732 no, I myself am a souls veteran I understand it might a bit tricky to get used to the system but it’s very very simple and ppl just get nervous and try to react quickly if u play Sekiro normally just be calm and go with the flow the deflecting is like a music and is ez to keep on going I personally think that all of fromsoft games are easy anyone can beat any of them it’s just a matter of time but Sekiro is very easy becuz u basically just need the sword u get from beggining and start deflecting I think what makes it hard is when u get nervous.

[@TheYodelingViking]

As mentioned before I have finished 3 games before I started Bloodborne. I actually also platinumed them which is why it takes so long to go to a new one. The 3 I have platinumed are Elden Ring, Sekiro and Dark Souls remastered. From easiest to most frustrating even including Bloodborne are: 1. Elden Ring: As long as you complete the game 3 times there isn't much more you gotta do that feels soul draining imo. 2. Bloodborne: Outside of beating the game 3 times you just need to collect every weapon, level 1 to max level and beat the last dungeon boss which the dungeons are a bit soul draining especially when you encounter the enemies that summon red enemies. 3. Sekiro: Farming for supplies and xp is always soul draining. In Bloodborne I got the required items naturally and just needed farming because I accidentally sold them. Here that ain't the case and after acquiring the 3 endings I spent 1/4 of my total play time just farming. 4. Dark Souls Remastered: If you know you know. Just 1 trophy is enough to make it the worst. The Rare Weapons trophy.

[@christianpecina8443]

[@ocelotte9590]

I got this platinum a while back after I came to adore the game (after hating it initially) and all in all, I don’t think it was overly awful, there was some things… Cough cough **demon of hatred** But I enjoyed it all… up until the skill tree, god that was a boring grind and the willpower needed rivalled any and all bosses, change my mind.

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

I’m a bit “sad” that all souls + souls-like have very high Platinum %. But then again, Sekiro and Bloodborne platinums were free. For me, true completition comes from NG+ Max and a good general understanding from all bosses (no struggle).

[@alyfarid5202]

Soulsborne games don’t have high plat percentages cause they r easy, it’s cause most of the people who play them are completionists who will go for all the of the trophies, there are many many games that are astronomically easier than any souls game and have a low plat percentage cause most of them who play it are casual gamers but this isn’t the case with souls games, most of the time when someone plays a souls game he is going for the plat

[@GenixgoldZ]

Did just hoped you did this game but you did ❤ I cant kill the horse boss and general 😢

[@123bunnys4me]

Honestly I thought the owl was harder than owl father. I beat owl father in my 3rd or 4th try but the first fight always takes me around 10 tries l. I also like the first fight more because it feels more simple and more like a dance

[@saintelaurent4948]

I said the same thing in the Sekiro Subreddit and people made it seem like I was silly. Having space to maneuver, bait attacks and dodge his projectiles makes Owl (Father) easier than Owl Shinobi and I saved Shura for my last play through! The only boss in ALL of FromSoft that took me more than a day to beat was Demon of Hatred. Fuck DOH.

Don't be. I bought this game a two weeks ago after I platinumed Elden Ring almost two years ago. Now i'm already half way to platinuming sekiro. However, the difference is that Sekiro forces you to do NG+ for a few achievements which takes more time.
