Owl Father Cheese question

[Sandro]

Most unfun boring tedious fight in the game. There not a single mechanic i enjoy about him. I only hate the Demon of Hatred more, but atleast he can be forced to jump of the cliff. So there are any easy cheese for this boss? I don't want to fight him ever again and i never will, just wanted to kill him for the ending.

not rly, gotta gitgud. boss is great imo. prolly ym fav boss of all time. altho his jumping back chilling his posture away thing can get a bit tedious in father owl fight. it can be mitigated decently if you are willign to use some shurikens tho.

[Shizofrend98HR†]

u could maybe try to non-locked attack spam to the side thing or just unleashe upon him in the corner or mix that with rice and red eyes plumb thing and other dmg boosts or some combat art spam but overall he doesn't like cheeseall that much

I rather use a trainer at this point, for me this is one of the worst boss i ever encountered in fromsoft games. Everytime he uses some rng ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ combo and i never learn anything what i do wrong. Also the camera movement are terrible in the whole game and when the lock on just randomly disappears is the most infuriating thing ever. I will never do this ending ever again, because of this boss fight, so i maybe i just cheat kill him. I never want to hear from him ever again.

I also don't like the owl fight at the top of ashina castle, but atleast i can cheese him with the whirldwind slash. Sadly some of the bosses and mechanics leaves a sour taste in my mouth. The 2 owl fight and the Demon of Hatred are the top 3 worst fight for me in this game,

It can be a very fun and fluid fight if you know how.

Just keep attacking him, give him no time to relax.

Well the same can be applied to every enemy, but i used a trainer, and i never need to face him again. The definition of anti fun. I never felt this rng attack pattern in the other bosses. Glad i never need to look at him ever again.

You just gave up too soon. He has no real rng.

But of course you can do whatever you want.

There are fights when he just firecrackers me every second, sometimes he just slash thourgh my block and there are no kanji symbol before the attack, sometimes he jumps around like a monkey everywhere, i need to block/parry/dodge a million attack for able to do a little chip damage, its tedious and not fun at all. phase 2 is the worst of all in the entire game, this target lock disappear with this camera is just a recipe of disaster, I had zero fun try to beat him, and i never learned anything in each death. Everytime felt like he got me with some rng cr*p attack. Only frustration and high blood pressure. Even if i beat him in the intented way i would not felt happy about it so im glad i made the right choice. I never ever do this ending again.

Tbh i think you are just frustrated.

Not posting to brag just so you can see there is no magic going on on this fight.

When your guard breaks your posture is full buddy 👍

Ofc i was frustrated, i didn't find the boss fun at all and he always done some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ combo attack, i got really tied and bored after a hour/hour and half. in this video feels like he has some of a pattern, when i fought him felt like a complete different fight. I can't explain better.

I know when the posture is full i got stagger if i don't parry perfectly, but when he slashed through my block i didn't have full posture and i don't understand at all why. He just randomly attacks through my block. Also even in the video i got angry about the lock on reset. For me its one of the worst bosses fromsoft ever created. Only the visuals and the lore are cool about him, everything else, i don't want to ever experience it again. Like i said i even hate to fight the regular owl, and didn't like it more when i defeated him.

As long you have no footage for the "hits thru the block" i cant say nothing about it.

Well the missing lockon is part of the fight but yes its annoying. I'm playing on m+kb with manual lockon. So that makes it easier to handle.

I don't record anything, so i don't know. Maybe i just press the block too late and thats why.

I also play with m+kb, still don't like the owl mechanic at all, funny because the fire attack + thrust attack seems harder, but i was able to dodge and mikiri counter everytime. The firecracker and this random sudden slashing and ofc the lock reseter owl attack was my bane.

Regular owl has a smokescreen attack which killed me more than his other attacks. I hate these type of attacks. Atleast he is cheesable and thats why i got through him.

As you can see in the vid the firecrackers are easy to punish.

Still hard when he decide to spam it to my face like 3 times in a row. Well it doesen't matter anymore, because i have zero intention to fight him ever again.

I think trainers can be a lot of fun once you have beaten a game and want a new experience but I don’t know about using one to get past a boss you are struggling with. I know there is no “right way” to beat a boss but I think I would rather just stop playing and save my time than use a trainer.

it can sometimes happen where a kanji doesn't appear when he sweeps so you shouldn't block but jump counter or better yet, attack and it gets cancelled. dodge to the right when he uses firecrackers if he's near you and you can get a hit in.

Well i like the rest of the game and he just needed for 1 ending so thats why i decided this way. To be fair i feel like i "missing out" a little, but still better than hours of anger and high blood pressure.
