@@stoveoven if you cant do it doesn’t mean everyone else cant :D try harder my brother! I did it and many others did too so you definitely can ;) Btw this has nothing to do with old or new video since Sekiro’s vanilla mechanic hasn’t been changed by From at all

Then you’re one of the top players my friend :D congrats! It took me days to catch the rhythm back then lmao

As long as you feel comfortable it doesn't matter if you use m&k or controller :D I use both and sometimes switch to one another

I do love using the umbrella too :D very aesthetic

Try harder my brother :D I hope you pulled it around this time

It's definitely not impossible my brother :D you're better than that and you know it

Haha that's why I put the the "skip it" in the description

The power of +6dB lol

It's ez lmao :D you only have to wait a bit bef4 deflecting the last hit, just like Isshin's glock

Well :D it all depends on your positioning for smoothness but good catch! You are a good player ;)

It sure is :D congrats bro ;) you got gud

I agree <3

It also hits your fps hard lol xD

Umm I just slap them on my ships... You have to power them all to be able to use. If you use mods, the power required will exceed what is shown on the screen. They will automatically fire any targets in-range but you still have to adjust your ship while riding so they can see and shoot the enemies

Good luck to you bro :D

I will, if you do it first xD

@@ben_patel I recorded a short of my ship. your ship is nutz can’t wait to see more. Time to travel to the vendors for my ship 😭

@@Lee-wh3ht Haha i was joking around. I wouldn't recommend building this ship, it'd destroy your system xD

Of course I cannot D:

Any mod that lets me customize interior will be a huge help. The ships' interior of this game is one hell of a bugger with weird random ladders... You can definitely add a hydralisk skull if you know a bit of coding and modeling tho :D

I was gonna watch it but thank you. 😅

Actually without the tweaking code it can still fly normally, just kinda slow :D It's mostly for-fun so yea I wouldn't recommend using it too often since its so laggy and beefy every loading screen will be a torture :(

Yea but there's not much variety here so I just slapped anything that I think will work in lol It also has some weird clipping when you get off the pilot chair too...

Applesauce

Chill out brother xD You can always play better games that you like, I'm a casual player and I just wanna have fun. I have a lot of free time so I play it out of curiosity and got hooked with this lego thing it offers. Maybe give it a chance after a while with more updates and mods?

You okay bro?

@@iamGabbyno he played starfeild and lost his job to an alien imagrant

I agree xD It is an absolutely beast. Damn thing took me 5 mins to navigate to the workbench inside... It makes the final Sysdef mission a cakewalk while destroying my fps :(

You can, but it would take a bit longer. And if he backs off to regain posture it'll be a bit tedious

@@ben_patel Tedious is my middle name. Just can't figure out how to fight him again without ruining my progress.

@@ni6hant It's a trial and error game my brother. Don't give up, you can do it

@@ben_patel I just don't know how to get to him since I already beat him once with mikiri counter

@@ni6hant He's just the normal spear monk with 2 health bars. His attack patterns are quite easy to read after a few tries. You can always level mikiri if you don't like to parry him tho :D

no cap :D

Nice to see you enjoy ^^ If you follow the notes exactly like the sheets I think both flutes are quite similar. The only thing I find that differentiates the Xiao from other flutes is that its highest hole only produces Bb note (unlike other flutes which is B). You can always use other instruments to play Chinese verses but it's always the best to use the local one :D

​​@@ben_patel Thank you so much for answering my question. I would love to play your instrument. I live in Ireland. Do you happen to know where and how I could go about getting one. What is the exact full name of it and what key is it in? If the the top hole would normally be a B natural, and I understand you said yours plays Bb in that position, then the key of the flute is D; am I correct? I do read sheet music. I play trumpet as well. I don't find playing a song by ear as easily as others. I am one who needs the sheet music, the notation. But with the Irish flute/whistle, once I know the key I can easily harmonise. That is pleasurable. With trumpet we have to know how to transpose in different keys, from one to another, to play with others. I quite enjoy that, I find it pleasurable challenge. Some may think that odd. Haha! . God bless you and keep you safe!

​@@ChildOfKingJesus57 It puts a smile on my face to see people taking interests in these small culture exchanges. Unfortunately I'm not living in Ireland so I can't give you an address that would sell DongXiao in your country :( You may have to ask some musical schools surround you for that. About the tones, Xiao flutes come in any tone you desire for it, but the most popular ones start with C or D (the lowest note), but the Chinese usually write the name of the 3rd note on them so you''ll see them being F or G. As I've stated, the highest notes would always be 1/2 tone lower than normal flutes, but you can always use your technique to recreate the correct pitch since you have the advantage of your flute's full round last note. I enjoy the melodies of trumpets too so if you have any songs you'd like to play please share it. Each person has an unique playstyle and I happen to enjoy every version of a song I come across being it having vocals or not :D you are used to sheets and notations so my guess is your learning curve will be significantly shorter than many other people practicing this instruments. Thank you for your thoughts ^^ it was fun to read, I enjoyed it

If you want to deflect the circle blades you have to time your tap for every blade. The last 2 hits of the circle blades can be deflected with only 1 tap but the timing is very tight. Hope I understand your comment right :D

@@ben_patel I think I get it, I'll try. Thanks!

@@CLA82529 Good luck brother ;)

A win is a win :D you don't have to always deflect everything you see. Congrats my brother!

@@ben_patel Haha, for sure. And thank you! It feels good to, and I would definitely try more if they hadn’t made the window shrink so much under that combo. But with all the deaths I had to that one single attack, I can’t be bothered anymore. I still stick primarily to deflection and pure swordplay for most other boss fights, that are a little more fair. :)

I know the alternative FP you're talking about. It's actually used in a lot of mods and is pretty easy to deflect too. It looks way better and feel more fair than the original FP imo. 2 years has passed since the day I uploaded the video and there are still people like you tinkling through the game's content. This brings me so much joy ^^

@@ben_patel Mate your videos are really high quality. You deserve this. Especially this floating passage one. If anyone wants to learn how to deflect it and also don't wanna spend too much time practice it in game. THIS video can be the best tutorial. I play this game everyday and night. I love it so much. Feeling so satisfying to see a master like you also love this game and making such professional content video.

@@AY-jp3qg i'm glad this game still has dedicated players like you, there are loads of mods for you to refresh your experience :D You saying I'm a master makes me blush tho haha. I appreciate the comments but I'm just another player like you, anything i can do you definitely can. To me Ongbal deserves the word 'master' the most. Btw enjoy your day my friend ;)

@@ben_patel I like Ongbal as well. Everybody plays sekiro knows him. It's true he is a master. BUT anyone who is like you, using passion to make such detailed video can be called as master as well. I just feel that I can see through from the video and know that you are even more than a serious player. I am so glad u said u r just like me.

@@AY-jp3qg Much appreciation my friend :D The community is filled with wholesome people like you which always warms my passion for this game. With a bit of practice you can even be better than me. I look forward to seeing your own videos that resemble your own style of fighting ;)

Thank you bro :D

Lmao thanks bro

I don't know Chinese too well so I'm sorry I couldn't help you with that...

@@ben_patel thank you for your answer.

It's Sakura Dance, a skill you'll get after you've completed the Reflection of Strength challenges in any idol. You'll take 0 damage from reflecting lightning attacks and look cool af :D

@@ben_patel nice thank you!

@@martinbouchez6949 np man ;) enjoy the game

You definitely can parry it my friend :D It's not something too hard

@@ben_patel yes i did it. I just had to know the timing. Also can you parry the grapple which he does after you parry his mikiri? I guess that can be parry'd too i need to experiment with it

​@@subliminalmemories9323 I've never tried to parry that grapple before because it's kinda ez to interupt it :D But you can experiment it out ;) Tell me if you know more of it

The gigachad playstyle lmao

No prob ;) you always have NG+ to try

Yes I agree :D it's nice to see people still enjoy this masterpiece ^^ Also, you're a very good player

@@ben_patel no wonder sekiro is still so expensive, Activision KNOWS they can't put DLC's or microtransactions in such an amazing game, so they just kept the price high while other games go on sale in a few years or so!

@@Gozieaaa Actually I feel pretty sad for the "no DLCs" part. It was started as a side project from the junior team of Fromsoft but turned out to be 1 of the best games ever made. Let's just hope they'll return to pay more attention to this masterpiece some day...

@@ben_patel I'd say the story can continue, either from the shura ending or the return ending, and i meant "paid" DLC's, having DLC's by itself isn't a bad thing at all, but many times they are overpriced, because big companies wanna suck the money outta you, especially EA

​@@ben_patel hey! Just wanted to let you know thanks for this video, i come back once every few months or so for some dopamine cuz I can't play sekiro anymore, or basically any good game for that matter (average asian science student)

He doesn't summon those wind slashes like Sekiro or Isshin so it's safe to say it's Floating Passage brother :D Besides, Spiral Cloud Passage was made by Isshin, Genichiro only got taught by Lady Tomoe who invented Floating Passage tho

@@ben_patel true, but if you use spiral cloud passage without spirit emblems, the move is identical. Also, I don’t think it would be a stretch to think isshin would teach it to his grandson. Thanks for the feedback 😁

@@lukes401k It's called Spiral Cloud Passage for a reason, the "Spiral Cloud" part is the wind slashes, without emblems you're just mimicking it. Genichiro created his own version of Tomoe's Floating Passage because he couldn't control the wind like Isshin, he's only a farmer's son who got adopted by Isshin and trained very hard. You can clearly see during the entire fight he doesn't have magical moves like Isshin's fire attacks and wind attacks (not the lightning part, he jumps to catch it and throws it at us). I'm not talking about the Inner version, that was Sekiro's in-mind fight. Of course Isshin would've taught him but Genichiro just couldn't, he's still just a normal person. That's one of the reasons why prime Isshin (final boss) called him "pitiful grandchild". It's actually sad now that I'm thinking about it. Our boi tried to git gud but he just can't :( Btw I can surely say his rare 2nd visually-different variant of Floating Passage does not look the same as the Spiral Cloud Passage that we learnt from Isshin, and I can also say Spiral Cloud Passage without emblems is just a longer Floating Passage :D We can take this debate further but that's my point, and I respect yours as well. As far as I know, none of this is confirmed by the creators of the game so I may be wrong or you may be wrong or we may both be. It makes me happy to see players like you keep digging into this game ^^

I don't like manipulating her AI to proc that move since it loses the immersion of the fight. That's why I had to chip her hp down. Parrying her was never impossible (i only say that because with this particular boss, not True Monk, her posture recovers too quick it'll turn into an hours-long video). The trick you showed from the video is called parry cheese :D It is a well known strat for practicing deflecting Corrupted Monk and True Monk. But still, congrats on your victory brother, a win is a win. You'll reach the peak of this game in no time ;) Btw you are never late, the game has plenty of mods for you to conquer. Take your time brother ^^

@@ben_patel thanks! but the video isn't mine. I pretty much retired in early 2020, except for a short while where i came back to do inner gen, and then retired again. I came back recently to finish inner isshin and test some stuff(firecrackers and burn effects) In my run, i used nightjar slash instead of cornering her, since nightjar slash can chase + dodge sweep at the same time. and the slash(and animation recovery speed for the following ) and deflect will stop her posture from recovering. But i was always wondering if its possible to beat her without inflicting vitality damage on her, as i feel vitality damage is an unfortunate side effect of clean attacks. Especially for monk, since her posture regen is so fast, so beating her at her highest regen rate seems most fair. And then I found out about the video i shared with you. (this is the 2nd attempt at reply, incase you got the 1 before. It turned out weird after i clicked reply, and so i deleted that and typed this instead. Forgive if it seems like a double post)

You definitely can if you push her to a corner and constantly repeat the parry cheese. But it'd be quite tedious after a few minutes to fill her posture. True Monk is different from this boss, she applies Yashariku's sugar on herself in the beginning of the fight so you'll fill that posture bar way quicker than Corrupted Monk. That's what I've learnt from my experience, tell me if you find something else. It's good that this game still has dedicative players like you testing out things ^^

That's a very thorough inspect of yours ^^ If you are still curious, the last 2 fast slashes can be deflected by only 1 parry. Nonetheless, you are very dedicated and I'm glad this game still has players like you. You'll figure out the frames soon, good luck brother :D

@@ben_patel 1 parry? Fascinating

thank you brother

There are a lot of people who already did it but I'll consider it :D thank you for suggesting

My brother, don't give up! I used to think like you but I kept practicing. It's not consistent but you'll eventually pull it :D It took me 2 days straight of recording just to get 1 no damage video without using the umbrella. Pay attention to the rhythm, and try not to switch your gaming gear too much so you can have a pattern in your head ;)

@@ben_patel Its a little impossible to practice when i dont know what im doing wrong. Its hard to improve upon that which doesn't give me any feedback at all on whether im on the right track or not. I am positive im pressing the button at the same rythm, I've even tried muting the game so as to only hear the tapping noise. I always eat chip damage from the last attack. I am about a week in and I couldn't do it once granted Im half decent at the game and can beat this boss without taking a hit.

@@juliaoescravo4054 If you're getting chip damage you'll still have to adjust your timing. I formed my pattern through my own practices so I don't know how to describe it to you :( Don't give up brother, remember it's frame perfect so it's not gonna be easy, keep working on it

@@ben_patel is it the same speed as the "cling, clang" noise

@@juliaoescravo4054 there's always a delay between your click and the parry, that's why it's hard, try to time it a little and you're good to go

I dont think Realtek is a soundmod lmao, all i did was ramping up the bass in the panel with +6db

Don't give up my brother :( i can do it so can you

@@ben_patel is it possible to do it consistently? i can do it about every other run but it feels kinda random for my current skill level

@@nobodyfour1686 With enough practice? Yes, I believe. Not always but "often" is definitely achievable. You also need to stay consistent with your gaming gear, too. Create a pattern in your head that whenever you press deflect, while holding only "that" controller or mouse, at "that" exact point of time it would always execute the deflect perfectly :D Just some tips from my exp, hope it helps you bro ;)

@@ben_patel mm i see. thanks for the advice :) there's so much to master with this game i love it
