Well said. My fave genre of videogames are ninja/samurai theme. Started with tenchu1. As u tell on my channel, i had uploaded vids from tenchu 3 (when UA-cam was still a baby!) Lol anyway. Playing this game brought back the happiness of my early years playing videogames :)
Isshin is a biznatch. Hes still king of all bosses for me, learning curve is a lot. In comparison, Updated Father owl is proly 2nd hardest in sekiro. About the same hardness as malenia in elden ring. And about the same hardness as updated S Ranking Walter in AC6.
tru that lol! I dont know, its just me cuz I like to see health bar damage, it feels like its takes forever for posture damage only. lol but yes, double ichi, high monk or basically just normal hit would finish this guy. like I said i chose this since it deals a lot of damage without any stat boosting item and also deals damage when he blocks the attack
Lighten counter.. just jump and spam R1 r1 ... No need to block . I'm still tryna beat him ... I don't wanna cheese him. I like playing Aggro against him . I enjoy the fight even if I get killed . I have perfected my deflection Just need to mix it up with my attack
He is my all time fave souls borne game Boss. its like the final exam to test ur knowledge. with plenty of cursing and practice, you will get this! if u can master the lightning deflect, this is basically a 3 phase battle, good luck!
There should be dismemberment in Sekiro 2 where you can chop off certain body parts like the Afro samurai Mechanics…. Gennichoro cutting our arm off so we should chop off his wiener. 😂
Didnt have time to practice it lol. It was so draining just to get to phase 3 but yeah I aint that “gud” so i just did it without ( i think i lucked out by doing one lightning counter)
@@fucha ok thanks, struggling over here haha my attack lvl is just 11... and dont have the dagger.... (Edit: i got the ceremonial thing and then it was a matter of time lol finally beat him :D )
1st phase isshin can be cheesed by getting him stuck on the bridge and you standing on the opposite side of the railing next to the cliff, just spam Mortal Blade, 2nd and 3rd are a BITCH tho
@@fucha yeah man, I remember when Elden Ring dropped and they all said Melania is the hardest...not even CLOSE to Isshin, I can slap Melania easily but Isshin still cooks me. I kinda wish we could watch them battle in a mod or something.
@@itstk8828 haha for real tho, the learning curve for melania is somewhat hard but doable. Id compare it to father owl (basement). but other than that, man. This is still the hardest and the best boss battle, ever.
Surprisingly first run ishiin was kinda easy when u know how to fight him, fight, with patience and concentration…new game +, he hit s so damn hard, I hang there for days now,; even with strengh level 30 it’s the same, 2 phase ( not genichiro incl) is so wild, 3 goes fast when you’re into it, just Counter the electric attacks
dude DEFLECT don't just hold ur sowrd defending, try to deflect his attack you'll be able to vuild posture on him and this 'll allow you to deafeat/ beat ur enemies without waiting to finish his health bar the game is all about Barry and deflection timing
Right? I was wondering why nobody mentioned he was playing with infinite spirit emblems... What a pointless video 😆😆🤣🤣 I don't think he ever learned how to actually play the game
Dude. You need some work on your words. ''Do this and that. Mikiri, block.'' No man. You gotta break down the movesets of the opponent step by step. Take note on the other youtubers before putting this out. I know its harder when doing it on the fly while your playing. So play the game and voice over it. You missed so many opportunities of what the opponent is doing to explain why you jumped or moved out of the way and countered. Also his patterns. You dont explain that only on the first stage of the fight.
this are only tips, its up to u to put in the work. He is the hardest boss in the entire souls/borne game and super unpredictable. im not a pro like other youtubers, Just an average gamer tryna beat a game.
@@fuchaIts not about being a pro. You could still make a breakdown of what you know no matter the unpredictablility. He has still movesets that are the same no matter the order. You can still go off by that.
@@vagabond4576 he did a breakdown of what he knows - one attack he can mikiri, and one he can roll and hit afterwards. Everything else is chaos to run away from. It is kind of impressive, like passing an exam by learning the absolute bare minimum and nothing else. There are no rules other than winning your battles, I guess.
If you're at this point in the game and you can't defeat genichiro without cheesing you didn't learn anything about the games mechanics, he is pretty weak at that point you can just deflect everything and kill him within a min, the isshin part wasn't bad tho
well said. it basically just learning the pattern pretty much. I disagree what u said on the second part. this is not a cheese strategy, as you saw I was struggling (got killed even). There are other easy way to cheese him. This is the strategy I came up on my own. I thought it was simple enough to follow for those who were struggling, and so I went ahead and shared it with everyone.

This game is a masterpiece in my opinion. The most rewarding gaming experience I’ve ever had.

tbh it was enjoyable and refreshing to see someone not deflecting the blows like everyone else does but adapt a different strategy
Thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it :)
isshin is one of the only enjoyable fights in the game to play without a strategy, lets be real owl is harder than isshin
Isshin is a biznatch. Hes still king of all bosses for me, learning curve is a lot.
In comparison, Updated Father owl is proly 2nd hardest in sekiro. About the same hardness as malenia in elden ring. And about the same hardness as updated S Ranking Walter in AC6.
Demon of hatred is harder
@@nobody4225 not sure about that, the flame umbrella makes it easy+the finger prosthetic
What lol not even close dude I beat owl 2 nd try , held up on Ishin
Man I whupped father owl in like 3 tries but can’t beat this guy life’s tough😂
fo reals? man ur a beast!!! it took me a while to beat owl father(the 2nd time you fight him) especially after the update.
Just use double ichimonji it's enough for genichiro and he's so easy. But when isshin comes 😑
tru that lol! I dont know, its just me cuz I like to see health bar damage, it feels like its takes forever for posture damage only. lol but yes, double ichi, high monk or basically just normal hit would finish this guy. like I said i chose this since it deals a lot of damage without any stat boosting item and also deals damage when he blocks the attack
Lighten counter.. just jump and spam R1 r1 ... No need to block .
I'm still tryna beat him ... I don't wanna cheese him.
I like playing Aggro against him .
I enjoy the fight even if I get killed .
I have perfected my deflection
Just need to mix it up with my attack
He is my all time fave souls borne game Boss. its like the final exam to test ur knowledge. with plenty of cursing and practice, you will get this! if u can master the lightning deflect, this is basically a 3 phase battle, good luck!
Thanks for the advise. It helped for sure still in 2024.
For genechiro just repeated jumping on his head mortal draw on way down over on seconds
There should be dismemberment in Sekiro 2 where you can chop off certain body parts like the Afro samurai Mechanics…. Gennichoro cutting our arm off so we should chop off his wiener. 😂
😂 i agree
I guess all the boss and enemy in sekiro have the same pattern where they will attack you when they can block ur attack 2time in a row
Its like you play it long enough, you become one of them lol! But yes you are absolutely right
Electric re Counter just spam parry and than attack, in the air
Didnt have time to practice it lol. It was so draining just to get to phase 3 but yeah I aint that “gud” so i just did it without ( i think i lucked out by doing one lightning counter)
The confetti doesnt help anything right?
It does add a bit of power damage. But i died so much i stopped using it. Save them for the runs that u feel comfortable beating him. Good luck!!

hell yeah! thanks for the update up until now! I just beat AC6, Isshin is still by far the hardest boss off all time.
@@fucha yeah man, I remember when Elden Ring dropped and they all said Melania is the hardest...not even CLOSE to Isshin, I can slap Melania easily but Isshin still cooks me. I kinda wish we could watch them battle in a mod or something.

Goat 💪🏽
Thank you, Enjoy!
Stuck on this boss
Thanks
U got this! 💪 Let me know how it goes!
dude DEFLECT don't just hold ur sowrd defending, try to deflect his attack you'll be able to vuild posture on him and this 'll allow you to deafeat/ beat ur enemies without waiting to finish his health bar
the game is all about Barry and deflection timing
Dont have that ‘git good’ skills like u fam. Case in point, its easier to teach blocking than parrying to an average gamer
this guy just git so gud that he doesnt need to deflect anymore haha
You were all out of heals and one hit from death
Im still a noob afterall lol
This is dumb. Not everybody cheats...

@@timelessflyingmonkeys Thank you oh kind one. I bring you knowledge of alternate strategy beating the hardest boss of all time in souls history.
