r/Sekiro

Going for platinum so need all skills. I'm not looking for advice on where to farm, I have some great farms already, but I'm on my last 25 skill points and because you lose half your xp on death it's not worth playing the game normally in case you die, especially at this level where each skill point is about 50k xp, so I'm farming and WOW is it dull. Everything else about this game kind of makes sense but the scaling on skill point xp is absolutely brutal. I have hours and hours of grinding ahead of me and it just isn't fun. A rare flaw in an otherwise masterpiece of a game.

What other flaws in this game compare to the skill point grind?

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm on NG+3

I don't know why I didn't use it before but it does SO much damage, it's literally the main reason of why I beat the headless monkey and his girlfriend easily, and it can almost one shot enemies.

Based in two possible endings that keep possibilities of a sequence; there's a chance of sekiro continuation?

I just (re)started playing Sekiro, essentially first playthrough as my last one was years ago and I didnt get very far, and I'm at the butterfly fight but I only have 2 flasks and havent beaten another bosses outside of the memory. Am I expected to be able to beat her right now or am I supposed to go and get more upgrades?

I started playing this sekiro 2 weeks ago my only other souls game was dark souls 1 and 2 so this was definitely a step up in graphics and gameplay, I also played nine sols and really loved it so I was definitely excited seeing as that game is inspired from this, in the beginning I was frustrated a lot I wasn't used to parrying at all and I died ALOT I was getting killed by the normal enemies and I couldn't even kill the mini bosses I would always get stuck on them over and over I felt like I simply couldn't get good, the final straw was genichiro I fought hard and finally reached the first major wall in the game genichiro was genuinely hell I could barely get him past his first health bar I kept trying for almost 9 hours until I finally started getting it I slowly and consistently started reaching the lightning phase until I finally beat him and I was so proud and happy it felt like I was free it was incredible I still remember that fight in the end I almost got it hitless it was so relieving to finally kill that bastard but even after I still struggled a bit I was still dying to mini bosses until at some point I finally stopped playing this game like dark souls and started looking at it as a rythm game I looked at the enemies closely and parried but nothing felt as incredible as beating the guardian ape I also struggled with him almost 5 hours but after it was done that wasn't even the best part the best part was meeting him the second time and beating him first try oh it felt incredible I finally understood this game.

No other game ever has a combat as good as this wow truly incredible I'm currently in the ashina depths going to mibu town and I can confidently say Its a 10/10
