It almost seems like they were planning to have a DS3 style gourd balance system where you could shift some of your healing gourd drinks over to the status effect ones, but then decided to scrap that idea when playtesters just went for all heals all the time.

Ya...Everyone just choosing only healing potions has more or less been true in every game they have put it in. As hp is more valuable then pretty much everything by each game's very design making it a none choice in every single game. I am really surprised they are still trying it at this point.

"Stop swamp shaming me" - Miyazaki XD

[@Sangheilitat117]

Fun fact: the Interior Ministry troops that you can find dead on the field at the gate where you fight Oniwa Gyoubu bear the crest of the Toyotomi clan, who during the Sengoku era were unifying Japan under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was continuing the work of a recently killed Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga is famous for, among many other things, burning down the temples of both Enryaku-ji and Ishiyama Honganji, killing possibly anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 people in each incident. Hideyoshi - then Hashiba Hideyoshi before he changed his name - was with Nobunaga during those campaigns and was likely present during the burnings. That - in my opinion - could possibly have been some of the inspiration for the dev team’s decision to have Hideyoshi burn Ashina to the ground using mostly flame weaponry. Possibly.

I have a question that might be intresting to look into! It's about the spin of the umbrella. There seems to be some wiggle room while deflecting flurry attacks where you deflect one move and the rest don't technically get delfected but don't get blocked either. "Sekiro - Inner Genichiro No HUD Cinematic Flawless" from ONGBAL demostrates this. You can't see it since it's HUDless but in other videos with HUD you can see that the flurry dosen't break posture or causes chip damage while charmless and yet it's from a single deflect. I think something similar happens with isshin's pistol flurry.

[@TheGamerguy6]

technically poison has the "contact medicine" item, it doesn't cure poison (it actually poisons you) but its suppose to act as a counter to the poison status effect.

I was just craving a limit breakers video... how convenient

[@skyworldangel8796]

I am a modder with access to the params and you nailed the fire damage resistance exactly. It is 40% for Dousing Powder, 50% for the Gourd and 60% for the Ministry Dousing Powder. The buffs also reduce the amount of Burn build-up applied by a percent. Dousing Powder is 35%, Red Gourd is 40%, and Ministry Dousing Powder is 45% Also for anyone curious the Burn damage over time isn't fire damage, the effect is just taking away HP. The damage is 4 flat hp plus 0.5% hp every second over 9.9 seconds and Sekiro's HP starts at 320 and ends at 1120 increasing by 80 for each Prayer Necklace.

[@BlazeStorm]

This is a the quality type of video I've been looking forward to, thanks so much Limit!

The reason Burn has more ways to counter it than Poison or Terror is probably because fire is much more of a threat in the late game. The Ministry uses a lot of fire, and you also meet the Demon of Hatred.
