Using cheat engine

[$nakeam]

I am a very old Player, Am not fast and takes time to respond.. usually I tend to stay away from games like Dark souls..

But, I really like the story, I want to experience it without the hardship. getting GOOD is not a possibility for me. So I want to ask:-

Will there be a problem If I use cheat Engine to make the game playable for me so I can enjoy the game story? . Similar question for Dark Souls.

if you do it in dark souls youll get banned, but there is no multiplayer in sekiro so you cant get banned. there are games that make you immortal or make you take less damage or even slow down the game but i suggest you try to play normally first to see if its too hard

Great, appreciate the quick respond!

Thank you

I used a mod to slow down enemys by 20%, it was still a challenge for me but not that frustrating that i wanted to smash my keyboard against the wall.
Without the mod i wasnt even able to kill the first real boss

Learning to play Sekiro is a little bit like learning to dance or play an instrument. People of almost any age can learn to do it right. At worst, some very old people will learn to do it, just need more practice and will likely be a bit slower. I firmly believe anyone with enough time and motivation can learn to play and beat Sekiro in its normal difficulty and speed.

That being said, you asked about cheat engines and the answer is no, you won't get in trouble.

There's quite a few easier difficulty mods in nexus mods:

Easier difficulty overall:

Sekiro The Easy - https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/418
Sekiro Easy Mod - https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/355
Easy Mode and Accessibility Options for Sekiro - https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/278

Slight modifications:

Easier I-frames - https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/417
Difficulty Adjustment - Damage Control - https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/522
No Spirit Emblem Cost - https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/179

Others:

Sekiro Online (you can have someone help you out, but don't forget this game was never intended for multiplayer) - https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/577
Sekiro Fps Unlock And More (can be used to modify the global game speed and make everything slower) - https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/13

You will need this mod to be able to use most of this:

Sekiro Mod Engine - https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/6

I'd still recommend that you give the game a try normally for a good bit to test for yourself, but don't feel any need to play it like that. If/when you buy the game, is for you to play however you feel, at least for a single-player game.

thanks guys, appreciate your inputs

You said that you are old but you didn't tell your age... I am just gone 60. Yes, I was slightly worried at first when I started this game. I am on borderline high blood pressure. My GP was going to check me out but then this virus thing came out. When I was facing Ogre the first time, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. It was pounding and racing... Phew! And I finally defeated it (can't remember how many goes I had, definitely more than 5), my hands were shaking. Now, I am on the 4th playthrough. Almost at the end now, going to face Genichiro and sword saint for the Dragon home coming ending. I will start a 5th with no Kuro's charm. I got all the achievements on my 3rd playthrough. I didn't use any cheat engine but I followed the walkthrough videos by FightinCowboy, I.Eat.Games, Tyrannicon and others for individual bosses. I don't know if you like music or not. I mean if you do, then you will have a sense for rhythm. When successfully carried out a parry, there will give a very crisp "clang" sound. Mistimed it, the clang will be dull. Different bosses have different rhythm. Treat it like a dance. Tyrannicon's videos are very funny but he also created some videos specifically for players like us. Simple techniques, no fancy move. It may take a bit longer but it definitely will help.
Regarding using videos as reference, from my experience, after watching so many videos and still died a lot and lot of times, I finally realized that one fallacy is that there is an imprinted rhythm in my mind when fighting say Owl (his adopted father), but I am not the person who made the video. Also, my reaction is not the same standard. So, use the videos to learn the moves of the opponents. Then when facing them, try out the move that you have learned. You will die once or more, hopefully just once and do it in your own pace. And you may have to change tactics once you find your own rhythm. Hope this help and have fun.

I don`t buy into the myth that old players can`t play games like Sekiro due to slower reaction speed. It`s an excuse people hide behind when they don`t want to say that they don`t like hard games or aren`t good at them.

Only reasons I can think of that would make a game unplayable for an old player would be if they are losing their eyesight, losing their hearing, or have joint problems in their fingers.

I agree, but I also agree with Just Aaron. The game is challenging but it's not demanding anything that can't be learned through practice. Is ok if you don't want to go there and do that, and just want to go through it at your own level and pace. But learning through attempt and failure can be really fun, and shying away from that will take a good something off from the experience of these types of games. That's why I always try to provide the mods but still insist on people trying the thing in the normal difficulty. That being said, it's the players choice to do so or not.

Agreed. Sekiro is a single player game so I got no problem with anyone using mods.

How old are you?
I am 36, took me a good chunk of time to finish Dark Souls 3, around 90 hours, then another good chunk of time to finish all DLC and secret area bosses, but after that, DS1 seemed not hard and I finished it in some 30h, getting lost a lot and not knowing what to do and where to go, also finished Sekiro in some 30h also getting lost in the game (what mean if I did not get lost and re-do all areas some 2 to 4 times and doing It some 2 times before 2 mandatory Bosses, I would have finished it in less than 30h) ... also I played Sekiro intentionally the wrong always trying the wrong way of dodge and attack before going for deflect, what made the game even longer.

There are also even older people that play this kind of game and can git gud enough to finish it, also some are even elders, yes, like over 60 or even 70 (could not find respective YouTube vídeos) so, if I could and they could, you, as anyone else, also can, just stop with this "I am too old for this" and you will see the age is just in your mind ... No matter the age or how long you will take to get there, but with the mentallity of 'because of reason X I wont be able to" you will never get anywhere.

Be brave, be bold, dont look at "how long it will take" and enjoy the ride of learning and eventually you will Git GUD at least enough to get where you want ... it is a matter of will and state of mind and work with everything, at every game and in real life.

If you want the easy way out, say you want the easy way out and do it. I'll tell you straight up you're a puss for trying to cheat in my eyes. At least be honest and just do it instead of going to the forum looking for compassion mate.

But are you THAT much of a puss brother? You need approval to cheat. JUST DO IT. It's a singleplayer game. You're affecting nobody.

Does anyone know which of the easy mods from Nexus mods still works with Sekiro, from what I can tell none of them that Don Lobo listed above still work with the latest version.

From what I read in Nexus these ones all still work fine with 1.06:

Difficulty Adjustment - Damage Control: https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/522
Sekiro the Undead (Easy and Normal Difficulty and Even Harder mod 1.06) - https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/796

And the FPS unlocker still works. Someone points out that the global game speed can produce a bug in a single boss encounter (https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/13?tab=posts) but otherwise it works fine: https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/13
