Lol. You can Defeat Owl Father. Before Divine Dragon. After chooses Kuro than Owl in the Top of Ashina. Then Continue what the man says in the Video. You can do this before defeating Divine Dragon.

[@klassicbadz8009]

@@lovepoem7753 They are upset because by defeating the Divine Dragon they are now unable to fight Owl (Father) in their current playthrough. The problem isn't that they didn't know you can do it before Divine Dragon it is that the preparation has to be done before Divine Dragon which they did not do.

Zombie Gamer one your first play through yeah dark souls 3 should be hard but once you already know how to use swordarts it’s easy as fuck 😂 You can literally learn swordarts right when you kill master and get the uchi katana It’s a good weapon too Imma just say things I think make it easy One the NPC’s help and the gear they give you helps Two armor You can use almost any armor and it feels light Another is the weapons You can use almost anything to beat the game And we have the R1 spam🗿 Ganks,magic,ranged attacks,parrying (easy),fast movement Sekiro is only hard because the leveling system Once you die you lose that EXP forever No second chance unless you get icky with unseen aid Also you have all the items that make it easy but you have to learn how to use them properly Dark souls you just have to spam and that’s it you end up surviving I don’t like to spam as I always switch swords mid fight and use bombs and traps I would say I’m not good but I’m not trash 😂I just use what the game offers

[@Term1nus3st]

4 years ago this is still the best tutorial I've found on this topic. Tywm

[@xaango]

thanks for the simple and easy to follow tutorial

[@ItZoTom]

No worries, glad I could help :)

[@dreww8941]

I don’t get to kill 2 mini bosses and a main boss because I didn’t grab a bell between killing an owl and a dragon, amazing game design.

[@somerandomfellow8321]

Yeah this game has an extremely bad game design. Like how I couldn't figure out where to go because apparently I had to collect some items, speak to an NPC, then return to a random building and interact with a random table. Then later in the game, when there's an apparent dead end, you need to talk to another NPC... before praying in a random room in a "hidden" area behind a boss. Then there's just this entire bs. The combat is fantastic but what on earth is this game design? If players need to watch tutorials online then you're doing something wrong.

[@Afrocypher9590]

I do see what @@somerandomfellow8321 is saying, cuz a lot of these game nowadays have mechanics that do kind of interrupt the design to the point where it's hard to pinpoint what's needed & what's not when furthering me in advancements to lore out mini bosses in hidden areas for certain trophies. In the end I do deserve the challenges of trying to pick your brain apart, but it shouldn't be frustrating because now I've actually missed this fight myself & probably won't be able to do it unless it's in NG+.

[@dmonsterlove]

@@somerandomfellow8321 facts. Huge facts. And tbh every from software game does this. Elden ring had shit like this all over KZbin and we shouldn't even have to do this shit. They charge extra to get like a cheat manual

Ok so which one is the real memory, when he fights lady butterfly or father owl...or is it two different dimensions , parallel universe or what

The sculptor says that the buddha shows everyone a different memory. So neither are the "real" memory. I hope that explains a little

No Worries :)

[@KennethKaniff999]

Can anyone explain to me how this fight makes sense? I get confused like if you kill him three years ago, how can he be a part of the kuro story?

[@miTzuliK]

I think this fight is only meant for you to retrieve the Everblossom since you went for Purification ending, where you work together with Emma not only to sever immortality, but to save the Divine's Heir life as well. Also, another fact to point out is that the Hirata Estate is part of Wolf's memories, and not a part of the past itself, therefore it does not perturb the timeline.

[@KennethKaniff999]

@@miTzuliK thanks for the reply. Yes, it is wolf's memory, but anayama was in the memory and then remembered wolf. If wolf remembers killing dad, that could be made up, but how could he obtain the ever blossom in reality without actually killing dad back then?

[@miTzuliK]

@@KennethKaniff999 I think the answer resides in the bell Emma took from Owl corpse after you killed him at the top of Ashina castle and the Sculptor's Buddha statue. Buddha offers Wolf the chance to get the Everblossom without altering the current timeline. Buddha's power knows no limits in this game; remember that for the sculptor was able to predict the future. The fact is that the memory did not happen like that because the 'current' Wolf is wandering through it, not the 'back-then' Wolf, prior to the fact the he still has his prosthetic arm.

[@KennethKaniff999]

@@miTzuliK thank you! Well written

[@blizaack]

What ending will I get if I keep going from that burning buildings till the end? And what's the name of the main ending or good ending? Purification? Immortal Severance? Return? I've done Shura ending which is the easiest and I will try to get all endings.
