Bonfireside Chat 140: Ashina Depths / Mibu Village
Added 2019-07-14 19:09:47 +0000 UTCThe last item on our grocery list is a stinky stone found at the very bottom of Ashina, in Mibu Village. To get here, we have to cast ourselves out, and learn a little bit about the cosmic forces masquerading in our world to spread the rejuvenating waters.

I cannot remember what it was, but I remember there being a gimmick to defeat the dancing ghost girl. I think it’s a blade with poison

2025-04-01 04:36:30 +0000 UTCI’m late to the party, but the closest Sekiro comes to dealing with the gearing up side of gameplay is the prosthetics. In the case of terror enemies, the purple umbrella makes them more trivial. On the first undead ape right, using the umbrella allows you to hit before and after the terror scream, while taking no damage or status effects. It also works in similar manner for the headless and other undead fights.

2019-07-17 18:56:09 +0000 UTCSpeculation supported by nothing: when I was avoiding Orin to tackle the monk, at some point a single ghost dressed as a Samurai Lord would appear on the bridge just beyond her. I just assumed this fellow was the Lord Orin was seeking, especially since the moment you set foot on the bridge, she goes aggro, saying something like, "You would leave me just as he did." My head canon involves him trying to abandon her and some kind of confrontation between them happening on the bridge where they killed each other. I don't know. Makes it feel like a little more complete of a story at least!

2019-07-17 17:09:08 +0000 UTC"Take her to Grandpa's cheese barn" is my quote of the day thank you. I've never heard that before.

2019-07-15 16:35:08 +0000 UTCYou can tank your way through the fight using the Lilac Umbrella upgrade and the Living Force skill, but I honestly think rushing the Sichiman Warrior down and blitzing him is more fun than farming for upgrade materials. That said, I still think instant death conditions are cheap, and I find it frustrating that every one of his attacks deals Terror damage.

2019-07-15 14:02:58 +0000 UTCI don't find it as bad as that, but From finds your weaknesses. The trick is once you get close he just does slow close-range attacks and you can just blitz him with divine confetti and a attack buff until he teleports away, at which point you need to run towards him before he does a fuck off laser. It's not a great boss fight but still less of a pain than the Headless

2019-07-15 11:09:53 +0000 UTCI was never able to beat him until legit the very end of the game. I kept assuming I'd find an item that made him remotely doable; turns out, no, you just have to stack everything you got and keep running in circles getting off one hit at a time.

2019-07-15 07:29:24 +0000 UTCYou both were far less irritated by the dual boss fight than I was. The fight wasn't hard but went on FOREVER waiting for them to both to the right moves to give me time to do more than a few slashes. I spent about 95% of the fight just running around waiting for an opportunity.

2019-07-15 03:05:32 +0000 UTCI did not know you could skip Shichimen Warrior until now. I always just stacked buffs and rush him down because keeping him at range is a nightmare.
