Any tips going in?
So I have played elden ring(I haven’t finished the dlc yet),ds1,ds3,ds2. I haven’t finished any of the ds games but I get the gist of those games. I wanted to try sekiro too but I heard it’s pretty different than those games I mentioned. Any tips?
I've not played the other fromsoft games, only Sekiro. But from what I've heard - unlearn everything, mainly dodging. Dodging has its place, as does jumping, but for a fair while try to force yourself to only parry. Fight every enemy, learn the how to fight fast and how to fight slow, just parrying and striking. Find the rhythm.
Anyone I've seen saying it's the hardest fromsoft game generally dodges and moves around a lot, and makes the fights way longer than they need to be. I went in with no fromsoft experience (except a bit of bloodborne from a aaages that I have forgotten) and found it OK. Hard as hell to be fair, but it's not my usual type of game and it always felt doable with enough practice. So, treat it like it's own thing and be prepared to learn a new fighting style, and you'll be fine!
This is very accurate! DS is all about dodging, Sekiro is all about parrying, and parrying is a lot easier in Sekiro than in DS. There's like one boss that is an exception, >!Deamon of Hatred!<, but for everyone else, you just need to realize that you can parry just about everything.
Sword? Parry. Punch? Parry. Rock thrown at your face? Believe it or not, parry.
Stepping on spears and jumping on heads is equally important to parrying, though those are more situational whereas parrying is ubiquitous.
Yeah, buy a physical copy.
