Have you ever quit Sekiro?

[CazadorDeLobo]

Where? Why?

I will defend you here. I simply want to know what boss or foible in the game caused you to stop playing. In fact, if you stopped playing and are reading this, you're the target of my question.

If you stopped and picked it back up, I also want to know what caused you to quit, as well as what brought you back in.

Don't be ashamed. The level of cognitive execution required to succeed in this game may be beyond you. It is made for healthy, young adults.

i put 10 hours in in 2020 and got stuck at genichiro 2nd encounter. i just started it back up and have got stuck at genichiro 2nd encounter for another 10 hours.

i cannot believe how much time i'm sinking into it and it just didnt click with me. i understand it but still can't comprehend it. my brain cannot figure this out. mikiri counter i jump. when i'm supposed to jump i mikiri counter.
I wish i could figure it out. seems like it so fun but how many more hours and guides do i need? or is it that i need to give up because it's just not for me. i have no clue.

Update: after 27 hours i've beat him. i'm now on the ape and he took me about 3 hours to learn he has a phase 2 and got no where in phase 2 due to the terror he causes. i guess im making progress..but very very slowly

For Ape fight first phase.

Dmg+sugar and oil+flame vent hit him while he is stunned from burn and repeat oil+flame vent once burn ends.

If you have sacrifical dagger good idea to use them.(half hp for 5 embelms).

As he is a "Beast" he is also weak to firecrackers every 15-20 seconds.

But I have found flame vent+oil more efficient.





Phase 2 he takes good extra(likely+37.5%) damage from divine confetty as he is now an apparation.So do not use fire stuff anymore.


His slow downward swing if deflected will knock him to the ground then use the spear(that cost 1 embelm) and pull out the centipide for good hp and very good posture damage.


His terror scream can be blocked by any umbrella.

But best to learn head scream signal and move away.

If terror bar is close to full use terror cure.

Firebull made me rage quit hard over a year ago, and having finished elden ring dlc with over 500hrs on it, I decided to give sekiro a second chance. Just got to fire bull again, lets see how it goes this time...

Use the fireworks attachment on it, you got this!

I quit on Genichiro, came back a year later, still couldn't beat him so quit again.

[Crypto Gamer]

I think common quiting points are:

Chained Ogre and Blazing bull.(both early game).
Both of them have clear prostetic weakness and not just deflect only boss fights.

Genichiro the first real skill check about game mechanics.

Guardian Ape or Headless Ape.

Demon of hatred albeit he is optional.Some can not kill him.
Prostetic weakness(fire umbrella,malcontent) makes it much easier.


Final boss but on NG you can brute force him with axe spam.
He is a clear skill check.

well at least you made it that far, more than me after i killed the bull and got stuck outside the palace and that dude in the armor on the bridge being a gimmick fight without getting slammed

[Apoloyn]

Gyobu drove me crazy and I spent way too much time on him.

I knew he wasn't supposed to be difficult and I knew I shouldn't be using KBM, but I didn't want to buy a new controller, as I did not trust the long-term reliability of any of them. I finally reached a point, where I had had enough and decided to buy the Elite 2. I beat him fairly quickly after that.

Virtually every mini and major boss I encountered after him, were challenging on some level, and I beat most of them easily. However, I still never forget the absolute nightmare that that first boss gave me and how much time I spent struggling over him.

Father Owl

Obliterated me over and over again when I got there. I managed to learn the timings and stuff but could never make it a done deal.

Decided to drop it for, I think 2 months, the frustration was absolutely real. Came back, beat him in around 5 tries - Never liked being the underdog.

True Corrupted Monk was a close call too but, I managed to pull through that one.

thanks fam, took me 3 more days to do so but finally killed the bastard

[FableTheFox]

I only quit because i already got the four endings, ending on the True ending because thats how it should be left off. I want another game like this but Lies of P doesnt scratch that itch. I reallly want a sekiro II, as im sure many of us do

[Sabaithal]

Some monk looking dude with a spear. I did manage to kill him after like 30 tries or something.. While fighting some small fries after that I momentarily stopped, looked at a dude who just shot me, he looked back, there was an awkward pause, then I put down the game and stopped playing. I just wasn't having fun.

Tried the game later from the beginning after having played a number of games that directly ripped off the Sekiro combat style. Somehow the experience was no different. At no point did I ever feel like I was getting the hang of the combat or that I was improving (whether I objectively was or not) and the respawn points being so far away from the thing that killed me most of the time just made things tedious as heck.

Not sure what it is about this game specifically that I can't enjoy. Its not the combat, because I've played other games with the exact same combat and I love them.

i rage quitted rated quickly, the one hour in the game decide to lower the difficulty with the rot mechanic wich i found insulting and just not been able to dodge the general in the first camp after the roster, i just gave up, if i can't tell if i pared successfully or not or if the dodge (wich the game advice to use) is just a certain hit for the mob then i rather leave
i still hope one day i will find a precise, hard and fair game
for me sekiro is not it, one hour and i just dont want to ever pick it up again, even dark soul made me try for 80 hours

[Apoloyn]

^ A lot of people quit after their first foray into Sekiro, but then they return and do really well thereafter. Don't feel bad, I'm sure you will be back some day !

[Gubernator]

Didn't quite quit the game, but I gave up at some point Shichimen warriors - never came back to them and I did finish my playthrough without killing Demon of Hatred, was super close to kill him, but I find him not really difficult, but too annoying to deal with due to some of his weird (if not broken) hitboxes and not worth getting angry at (finished story and killed Isshin right before fighting Demon). Tbf only 4 bosses took more than 5 attempts for me - Lady Butterfly, Genchiro, Isshin and Demon of Hatred (he's the only one I didn't kill) - Didn't fight Owl in Hirata estate tho - I'm pretty sure he'd be the fifth one, but since I know how to get to this fight now, i will be attempting him for sure in my NG+.
