@@scaldarvonascalon5514 The second run feels easier because you are completely aware of all the mechanics and know where to go. But there are ways to bring the challenge back up. If you give Kuro's charm back, becomes an entirely different game.
@@MrSandman9151 what’s funny to me, is whenever I start a new game, I always forget where to go and have to trek through my brain to remember what I did.
I love how wonderfully cinematic the boss fights feel. Like all the cool shit other games show you in cutscenes that you can't actually do, but in Sekiro, you do all that cool shit on your own. It is just a perfect game.
I love how hard gyobu once felt. Same with butterfly . Then Genichiro shows you how to play and the rest of the game has its difficult moments. Its as if every boss is a puzzle to crack but once you do you surpass them.
For real I thought about the same thing. Gyoubu was once a tough task and he killed me a few times on my first playthrough, I fought Butterfly really early so I thought she was quite hard. She killed me probably ten times. Then Genichiro killed me like 10 times as well but then I started to understand the combat. Gyoubu is sadly easy now and in NG+ you can basically walk him down with no regard and just batter him, I kinda wish he got enhanced in NG+ with an expanded move set. Lady Butterfly hasn’t killed me yet in NG+, I first try her every time, and I practically no-hit Genichiro. When you first start out they seem so difficult but once you learn their moves and learn the tricks and get good at deflecting it is amazing how much easier it is. I learned Genichiro’s moveset so now he’s very easy, but it seemed impossible at first. I know people who spent 20 hours on Genichiro, but then something clicks and you almost never die to him after that. It is an awesome game and the bosses are so well designed.
@@grimreefer213 yeah if you fighting butterfly before genichiro good luck. Maybe if I new game I'll try to beat butterfly as soon as I can just for fun. It's so funny after beating genichiro I got this rush of energy like I was super Saiyan and I went to butterfly who had shredded me time and again and I treated her like she was nothing. Dominated. It's such a good game in the sense that it imposes a style on you. Isshin really brings it full circle. The way it forces you to keep a pace.
@@corywittamori896 I absolutely love Sekiro. There’s something so beautiful about it, how every boss is a teacher, it is difficult at first because the game forces you to learn the mechanics and play in a specific way. Once you learn it then suddenly they go from a very difficult challenge to becoming relatively easy. Sword Saint Isshin tests you on everything you’ve learned, he’s difficult but it fits with the theme of Sekiro, it’s an amazing boss to cap off an amazing game. He took me two hours to beat him for the first time, but now I’m confident I can beat him on the first try every time. I think it is really good game design because he is mechanically difficult (not artificially difficult with BS moves), but it’s not unfair, so once you learn it then it becomes predictable and repeatable and is such a fun dance. I personally think Sword Saint is the greatest boss of all time. A lot of people will say Gael and they probably think Isshin is too hard. But I think he’s very well balanced and it’s a legendary fight. It’s also awesome how Genichiro is everyone’s teacher and he’s the pivotal moment for most players. He teaches you how to play and once you get passed him then the rest of the game becomes more surmountable. Sekiro is a work of art.
I mean he's really good, but he's not like totally insane. You can find way crazier stuff out there. Once again, not saying this guy is bad, faaar from it
Attack power beyond 50 isnt all that beneficial. Going from 550 to smtn like 650 only. Up until 25 ap u get like +8 dmg and +4 until 50 whete it turns into +0.8
I can't describe this video with just words it's pure art and talent and most importantly this time cainfoe literally executed sword saint and he didn't jumped of the cliff
Using the mist raven to counter isshin’s lighting attacks just looks so damn cool, and I never knew you could use Phoenix umbrella to counter the rapid attacks of genichiro. Great video, amazing talent
U get to 550 attack power when at 50 whilst at 99 it's only 650. Till 25 its like plus 8 attack power per level, then 4 until 50 then 0.8 till 99 at which it caps. And ofc each ng+ cycle until ng+7 enemies get beefier
@John D I have never heard anything more idiotic. A Katana and sabre look nothing alike, and the Chikage looks more like a Katana than a Sabre, the description even says it’s a Katana.
It's so satisfying to see that, with enough time, you _can_ become a boss in Sekiro and just obliterate any enemy with the right mix of skill and arts.
I know it may be irrelevant, but after seeing Gyobou get wrecked so many times, I appreciate that From named his horse, Onikage is somehow the only living horse in this game lol
I realized while watching this the switching between prosthetics, items and the perfect deflects isn’t the crazy part it’s his complete understanding of the boss move set and how to exploit it
This gives me the feeling of a OP anime dude who you just saw the first time in the show, who suddenly annihilates one of the strongest antagonist. "Sad boss noises"
I have to thank you Cainfoe, your strategies helped me best bosses faster and overcome the gauntlets. Subscribed🤝 also the spiral cloud passage shredss immortal monk, especially with divine confetti
I have never seen someone execute this game more beautifully. I also learned openings for some bosses and unique interactions like the feather and lightning attacks. The synergy of all of the tools used, along with the combat arts and the amazing no-hit kills truly make me remember why I got into this game.
I feel bad for Isshin Ashina. The way he said "I am not done yet, Sekiro" and then died like 10 seconds later. :( i get the vibes of an old man who knows he is no longer in his prime yet he tries with all his might.
You're too good at this game, i would love to be fighting like that, i mastered most mechanics of this game like the arts and the parrying, finished it 5 times , platiniumed it, yet im not as good as you (wait you finished it 7 times in one save and the other saves too , so i guess i have to replay it as much as i can with the kuro charm)
That sugar makes it harder to gauge the real value of attack power 99, because it literally increases your attack power by roughly 50%. Apparently base 99 attack power is a basic slash damage output of 578. That sugar roughly adds 289 to that base number.
Mesmerizing. Clearly so much time and effort spent learning then executing all of the attacks, deflects, weaknesses and much more. Beautiful gameplay, thank you. Subbed 👍
It may be your hdr settings, but the difference in graphic quality between console and pc really sticks out to me in this video. Mad props for your skill! You are Masutā ninja!
I wanna try this myself too! So on PlayStation would it be hold R2 on the ground until the lightning hits you, THEN jump and tap R1 to channel it back? With tower Genichiro you would jump into the air to get hit by the lightning and then tap R1 to attack upon landing so is this kinda the opposite of that?
I'm on Ng+6 and I gotta say: the ng+ plays in Sekiro are the easiest of all From games (Bloodborne is the hardest). I literally abuse the bosses in seconds unless I use no charm + bell.
Both are awesome! but I enjoy watching Cainfoe's style more because he improvises more often and doesnt take the fights seriously. Imagine these 2 doing PvP tho
Hopefully they will patch something for next gen consoles, even tho I mainly play on PC, I'd be nice to see how the game performs with a descent patch.

That umbrella shield can pretty much shield you from anything after you acquire it. Lol
I’m surprised that, even with all that attack power you have, the bosses still manage to put up a worthy fight.
The effect of attack stat increases suffers from diminishing returns at higher levels. IIRC the final 50 levels barely do anything.
@@globalistgamer6418 it’s also NG+7, the literal hardest version
that's because you and bosses swapped places

This game really is like learning how to play an instrument. Once you know what to do and can get in a flow, there’s nothing like it.
I let my friend borrow this game and my secret to him is that it's just a rythm game
I tried turning off the game's music when trying to beat Isshin. The fight itself provided its own beautiful music.
For those new to the game,
THIS is meant to be REALLY HARD,
just so you could understand the effort the creator of this video had to put.
I really like the fact that you used so many different Prosthetics and Combat Arts to defeat all of these bosses.

CainFoe: nah spear too mainstream.. also he ded before I can even equip.
