r/SekiroShadowDieTwice

I started playing Sekiro a couple of weeks ago. I expected it to be pretty challenging, but honestly, I haven’t faced any major difficulty yet. I beat the Guardian Ape and Corrupted Monk on my first attempts, and I haven’t died more than 3 times to any boss or mini-boss so far except the ghost lady in the water, who took me 6 attempts.

For context, I’ve already platinumed Elden Ring(600+ hours), Bloodborne, and Dark Souls 3 without cheesing anything. That said, I definitely got humbled by several early/mid-game bosses, like Tree Sentinel in Elden Ring stating and the poison beast in Old Yharnam in Bloodborne.

So… am I actually getting gud, or is Sekiro just letting me feel good about myself before absolutely destroying me with the late-game bosses? 😭

What was your learning curve in sekiro

For me I had 3 phases

1.the spear guy in hirata estate (mikiri counter)

2.genichiro (keep pressure on the boss)

3.the 2 apes (prosthetics and skills)

Btw I finished my first playthru 2 days ago and finished the inner version of genichiro last night

So I did 2 seperate saves on Sekiro (ps4) (non shura, and shura ending) and killed every boss, but still I don't have the man without equal trophy, what did I do wrong?

Here are the boss trophies I have:

great colored carp

great serpent

demon of hatred

isshin ashina

gracious gift of tears (divine dragon)

corrupted monk

father surpassed (hirata owl)

great shinobi - owl

folding screen monkeys

guardian ape immortality severed (headless ape)

guardian ape

genichiro ashina

lady butterfly

gyoubu masataka oniwa

sword saint ashina

someone please help, not sure if it is a bug or something but yeah. let me know yall.
