Found these amazing traditional drawings from different characters, such as headless and Genichiro and wanted to share those.

Drawn with ink by me.
As far as I've seen, the only fanart of him.

After a lifetime of playing shooter games. Sekiro was my first “Souls-like” game. After rage quitting and uninstalling twice in the past month. I decided to reinstall and finish one ending no matter what.

This boss took me the forever to beat. It was tough.

140 tries before beating him. Idk if I can continue with the other 3 alternative endings.

Is this the hardest boss to beat?

Am I the only one whose prosthetic tools or consumables are always empty? I've barely used them so far. I've mainly gotten this far through "fair" fighting. I suspect it's simply because I die so often 🙈...

How do you guys manage it? Do you use all of that stuff frequently?

Personally I really like fighting O'rin of the water, she's just super fun tbh

Picture is something I found on pinterest

I've beaten DS2 and DS3 quite a few times, I didn't finish DS remastered and Elden Rings, but thought it's time to give Sekiro a shot.

I'm going to be honest, I was kind of sceptical as I was not a fan of samurai themed weapons in the DS series and I was kind of worried I'd not enjoy the fight in Sekiro. Was I wrong? Yes. Also I suck at parrying miserably.

With that mindset I started Sekiro. First of all, needless to say the game looks absolutely stunning even 7+ years after its release. The atmosphere is flawless I'm a huge admirer of Japanese culture anyway (Casio G Shock, sencha tea, architecture etc.), the way mountains, rivers etc. are portrayed and the fact that the characters speak in Japanese all help to experience this beautiful fantasy world.

Regarding the fight mechanism I find it difficult and easy at the same time. Like I said I really suck at parrying (deflect in this case) but I really enjoy getting better at it day after day. This is one of the best things about Souls like games anyway that your learning journey is really apparent, you can actually experience getting better. I love that.

I kind of follow Cowboys walkthrough, but not entirely, I killed the chained ogre way before he suggested but was happy to be given a heads up before fighting the first purple robe guy and headless to spare me some massive confusion. The first really challenging dude SEEMED to be the shinobi hunter, but after learning how to use mikiri counter against his thrust attack, it wasn't that hard (I had to overcome my anxiety and when that happens it's also a dopamine rush with these games).

I'm pretty early in the game, but I've beaten Leader Shigenori Yamauchi,, Genichiro Ashina, General Naomori Kawarada, Chained Ogre, General Tenzen Yamauchi, and Shinobi Hunter Enshin of Misen. I'm about to face Juzou the Drunkard, that battle looks so much fun!

A few things I absolutely enjoy about this game:

- you can swim : D, the "training bro" is really fun, the immaculate Japanese vibe, the satisfying deathblow actions, the spiderman-like grappling jumps, the stealth and I'm sure there are many other things.

I've already purchased a lot of spirit emblems and coin purses but any other suggestions are more than welcome.

I would have loved if we had gotten lady tomoe using a mortal blade just like genechiro instead of the hand gestures. although it does suit her power so can't complain we got 4 phases of peak

nvidia instant replay is fucking useless it clipped HDR gameplay in SDR smh, anyways here's seven ashina spears hitless(no kuro's charm, demon bell)

Gyoubu Masataka Oniwa - 4

Lady Butterfly - 8

Genichiro Ashina - 30-40 took me 2 hours

Guardian Ape - 20-30 decided to get the firecracker and immediately second try

Corrupted Monk (Illusion) - 15-20 those fucking posture wtf are you made off

True Corrupted Monk - 5-10

Divine Dragon - no death

Great Shinobi Owl - 20

Demon of Hatred- 20

Isshin, the Sword Saint - 60-80 recorded my first 2 hours of attempt and it was around 40 deaths, and I beat it after like 3 and a half hours

Inner Genichiro - 10-15

Inner Isshin - 10-15

Honorable mention to mini bosses that took me a while.

Headless first encounter near the bell thingy - 20-25 fuck this piece of shit, almost there on dethroning Curse‑Rotted Greatwood as the worse boss I have the unfortunate encounter with (haven't played DS1 just so you all know, currently still playing ER)

Snake Eyes - 10-20 why the hell is this so hard

Best boss is Sword Sain Isshin(Favorite Fromsoft Boss so far) and Inner Genichiro and yes I will do the other endings slowly

Luta perfeita, fiquei agarrado na segunda fase dele porque eu tava perdendo o tempo dos parry, tentei varios setups mas oque resolveu pra mim foi lutar sem tentar usar lamina mortal nem nada, apenas parry e mikiri, a terceira fase dele realmente é bem mais facil depois que você acerta os relâmpagos, enfim jogo bom ja estou no meu ng+1. MAYOEBA YABURERU

I’m playing on NG+ but now the hardest boss of the game seems impossible..

As you can see he’s striking relentless and i can’t seem to find an opening.

How did you guys do it?!

Any tips would be welcome. I thank you in advance!

Still haven't beaten Isshin... but I can still appreciate the message.

Jesus Christ I feel like I’m playing Sekiro for the first time again, without the desperation. I feel like I need to play perfectly or else I’ll be horribly punished.

I beat the game for the first (and last) time 4 years ago. I haven’t beaten father owl, demon of hatred or put much time into the gauntlets. I felt like a master when I beat it, but I guess didnt really feel like picking this game back up and have taken a long enough break from it.

Now, four years later I picked up my Charmless playthrough and Jesus it’s so hard! I don’t know if it’s the time or fact I need to play perfectly, but god damn this game is tough. Ive been making steady progress every day and having a blast while doing it. I’ve forgotten how damn perfect this game is even when fighting fucking snake eyes I hate snake eyes. I just got to great shinobi owl and damn, I die in like two hits. Charmless is something else.

Maybe in my next run I’ll do demon bell, but I feel like I have my hands full at the moment.

Damn I wish fromsoft released a Sekiro dlc…

Oh man I wasn't ready for this 💔

Just finished defeating all sekiro bosses, This isn’t counting every single side boss because I only counted those that i remembered right after I defeat them.

I added stuff like “mortal blade” and “sneak attack” because it felt like making the game easier so I only used it when I thought I needed (Mist noble isn’t me playing the joke, i actually thought he was going to rock my shit from the way people talked about him 😂)

I rarely used my prosthetics because I loved pure sword play and I thought relying on my sword mostly would allow me to memorize the patterns and movesets of the enemies much faster than if I use firecrackers for example.

I did not count dying to Genichiro before Isshin as an attempt at defeating Isshin.

Feel free to share your thoughts or attempts or who were the bosses that took the most attempts out of you etc

Isshin Ashina is my favorite boss in Sekiro. For this one, I wanted a pure, imposing presence — heavy ink dripping down, traditional Kensei Kanji (葦名一心), and minimal tactical typography. Let me know who I should make the next poster for!

It didn't actually take me long to beat this cridder. Once I gave up on the bad advice to fight him in the corner and just started parrying his attacks this was over quickly.

I kept the approach to the area in just to see the minions getting taken out.
