I'm finally getting the hang of Sekiro (midwest.social)

I’ve been playing this game off and on, starting over since it came out. I was a hardcore Bloodborne player, but also played a lot of elden ring and ds3. Sekiro never clicked, I thought it was slick and the action felt incredible but I just couldn’t get past the beginning. Finally I’ve broken through and am having a blast, and its all thanks to Armored Core 6. Thanks Armored Core 6 (I will not elaborate).

I'm not there yet. I want to be, it seems like a really cool game. Gotta give it another try I guess.

I've played Ds1-3 and Elden Ring for far too many hours, and beat them all many times. Not one to really parry, so that's probably why I'm having a hard time.

I'm sure there's some videos out there that could help? I haven't looked yet, but will try that before giving Sekiro another go.

Sekiro is a lot more lenient on its parrying than Souls is. Whenever you see an attack incoming just mash the hell out of the block button for 1-2 seconds, more often than not you'll get the parry. It's the only Fromsoft game that allows that without punishing it.

For some later bosses you'll have to actually get their timing down but that'll carry you far enough through the game for you to get your feet under you.

Huh, good to know. I will keep that in mind when I retry it. Although, realistically, probably won't be after the Elden Ring DLC haha.
