    The moment this game finally clicked for me was when I decided to hold completely still while fighting a boss after about 20 deaths. Rather than running and dodging around, I just blocked, attacked, and jumped when necessary. Once I switched to this strategy I killed the boss on my first try. This game REALLY wants you to embrace its combat mechanics

    This video is exactly why Sekiro is the greatest FromSoft game, and also perfectly demonstrates why most fans of FromSoft games hated it when it first released. There are SOME tools that allow you to cheese, like the umbrella used in this video, but they cannot be relied upon. For the most part, the game demands understanding and mastery of the core mechanics which the entire combat system is built around. And Genchiro is the skill check: you WILL learn how to parry, you WILL learn the rhythm of the boss fight, or you will not progress the game.
    There's no grinding to level up, there's no sprinting through a dungeon to get a magic item that gives you a spell you can spam, there's not even summons to bring in other players to help you win.
    There is only your own skill, and the grindstone that you must sharpen it against. Watching Sekiro footage from a player who has mastered the game is like watching a dance. There's a rhythm to the flow of combat that is absolutely beautiful, and once you see it you can also see yourself learning it.

      if you're still struggling in sekiro, my best tip is to play aggressive. Works best if you've already learned their moves but it can also help learning their moves. Just keep attacking them until they parry or use a red attack and counter them then continue attacking. Wouldn't have learned this tip without giving up on defense and just brute forcing the bosses.

    Sekiro rewards aggression. I didn’t realize this before I started playing. Trying to dodge everything like the typical Soulsborne games.

    You are a parry beast!

    Honestly, this is mostly how the game was designed to be played. Just don't lean so much on parrying. It is greatly rewarded, but it is extremely impractical to focus towards. Try to be realistic and block. Allow your posture to break at the right moment.

      Blocking is literally the one thing in Sekiro that you shouldn’t be doing 😂

    • @kingsgambit7098

      @sekirostern Blocking is the primary go-to mechanic in Sekiro. For example, the corrupted monk in the underground will not punish you for breaking your posture. He will literally stop mid combo if your posture breaks. Another good one is slow opponents like the knight on the bridge to the monks. You can block, have your posture broken, and still have plenty of recover time to dodge his next attack.
      Having your posture broken is about timing. You can die countless times trying to parry everything. Knowing when to allow your posture to break is much more successful. Hell, I beat the game in under 30 hours and 50% of the games bosses on my first attempt. Only when you reach the white ape does the games difficulty actually take off the training wheels.

    Is this fight from a sort of New Game + scenario? I''m meeting up with this boss fairly soon (on my first play through) and I seem to be missing a lot of things (excluding simple practice with the mechanics). Either way.... this was a thing of beauty :) The game's fight mechanic is simple, relative to most games... but with such scope for nuance and player skill. Truly amazing game!

      This was done onNG+9. Geni is a very early game boss and in my opinion it doesn’t matter if you fight him before or after Lady Butterfly. I knew Geni was the boss that made everyone “click” with the game so i sat down on my first play through and told myself that i won’t progress until i mastered his fight. The game takes patience but i promise, if you use Geni as a sort of “mentor” for the combat, you’ll get it very easy.

    only Genichiro allows to be actively parrying/attacking recklessly though.

    What I hate is that I can do exactly this (minus the umbrella usage) but because I don't know the timing on the last 2 hits in his long combo I always get hit with a semi truck from a single attack over and over

      You can just parry the first two initials hit he does before initiating the combo and take a step back and watch him do the rest of it, then you step into it to block the final hit and it will either give you a free hit on first 2 phases or the mikiri counter on the way of tomoe

    Honestly, this was how I beat him the first time. Tried being careful and on the defense but couldn't get to his first stab. Finally said screw it and just kept attacking and figured out roughly the same pattern. Took me 30 min before I could beat him with only being hit once doing basically this video. Love it!

      I love the Geni fight because it's so rhythmic. It's basically deflect-deflect-deflect attack-attack-attack repeated.
