So with decent timing you could actually deflect all attacks with your fists and take no damage while setting up some sweet counters. Swatting away swords like a straight up anime Ninja. That's interesting, I tried testing it with dryleaf arts a while back but it never procced. The block timing must just be ever so slightly different for fist blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The block timing must just be ever so slightly different for fist blocks I think it is. Here is what it looks like in action. Second half has way more of it on display than the first. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 I’ve been running around chatting with NPCs for the past fifteen minutes. I really like how much more direct the story is in this game, Ang how the main NPCs all play key roles in the quest and have relationships with each other and with Wolf. 2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Sake mechanic; really neat idea to award the player with lore and character information by finding special items and drinking with the NPC's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually share sake with the Sculptor, but when Isshin gave me some, I immediately shared it with him. Surprisingly, he had comments to make about how I just offered him his own drink. Guy is cool. 15 minutes ago, BigBossBalrog said: He's kind of like a Japanese Ulfric Stormcloak And did you catch the detail about the identity of a certain someone I think I just did. Bumped into Tengu again and he started coughing up a storm. Returned to Isshin and his mask and armor were hanging on the wall. Can’t believe I missed that before. They literally have the same voice. Okay, yeah, Isshin is definitely a badass. Man is on his death bed but still sneaking off to hunt enemy spies like a murderous Japanese Batman. 1 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only stood out to me after we drank together and then I found Tengu again and noted the amusement in his voice. Then the coughing made it obvious. Then the mask hanging behind him made me feel stupid. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 The Armored Warrior miniboss was great. I don’t know if it should be called a gimmick fight, since it is a straight up duel in every sense, but it kinda felt like one with the unique requirement to kill him. Felt like a bit of homage to Dark Souls. Dude basically rocked the classic "bass cannon" build with heavy armor, high poise, and a huge greatsword. Though with how fast you are in Sekiro, that is very easy to deal with. It was a fun but somewhat random fight. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their voyage brought them to Japan, where they would seek the "Undying" in an attempt to extend Robert's life." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Oh and I'll explain more later, but the Senpou Monks are some of the most terrifying/evil cultists FROM has ever made. Their essentially Anti-Buddhists. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 One thing I absolutely love is his design. He's been in Japan so long, he customized his pieces with local flavor. He's even wearing his own Japanese Menpo (war-mask)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
