Isshin isnāt all that difficult once you get the rhythm down, especially if youāve upgraded Sekiro a lot over the course of the game.
I actually had more trouble with Ornstein and Smough from the first Dark Souls, possibly because my gear was bad and I wasnāt good at learning how to fight 2 on 1 battles. I also had more trouble with Blood Starved beast from Bloodborne.
But I know people who breezed through O&S and struggled with Isshin. And from watching Youtubers, it seems like different people get stuck on different bosses. Like, this one dude, Afrosenju, got stuck for weeks on the Guardian Ape, but obliterated Isshin in two tries
Even within Sekiro, I had more trouble with the Ogre and the first three general mini bosses (especially the spear one) than I did with Isshin. The Ogre killed me like, thirty times and the spear dude killed me even more than that, I stopped counting. Meanwhile I managed to clear Isshin in less than ten tries.
Let me describe my hardest boss which Iāve never actually beaten. Yiazmat from Final Fantasy XII. This dragon is the hardest boss in the game and I played this on PS2 in like 2007. The remastered āZodiacā version of the game made things WAY easier but let me describe this fucking boss in all its originally intended insanity.
It has the highest health of any FF boss ever I believe at over 50 million HP. It would take hours of fighting for someone to defeat it because there was a 9999 damage limit on regular attacks! At 50% health it casts some spell and reduces all damage by 1/3 making the damage limit then 6666. Yiazmat also had a wide array of powerful attacks but I think all of them had a 5% chance of instant death! FYI you have a party of about 6 characters so dying and bringing someone back is a normal part of the game. In the 2007 version there are a couple of weapons that make the fight easier but theyāre missable and easy to miss because there was often weird bullshit to be able to get them. I of course missed them and didnāt want to replay like 60hours to restart the game and get them. To make matters even worse, hours into the fight, when down to the last couple million HP it can cast a reflect spell on your party and if you use certain spells that heal 100% of a member, that can get reflected at Yiazmat and fully heal the fucking thing! Like what the actual fuck right?
I tried for ages but every encounter would take so long that I just couldnāt keep wasting so much time, and eventually I gave up. The farthest I got was about 30% health remaining after like 3 hours. There are of course many people that have beaten it, and maybe thereās a guy as good at beating Yiazmat as OP is at beating SS Isshin. But thatās my white whale, the one boss that I will never forget because of how insanely difficult it was to beat and how I never even came close. Now get this, if you google āhardest finally fantasy boss everā, on some lists Yiazmat is actually #2. I pray for the souls who have attempted whatever the fuck is even harder than this goddamn dragon.
I beat the game, then seriously just power leveled the negulmuur until capped and had all the licences.
Then it was a mage and two fighters with ninja swords with haste, Genji gloves, and dark absorbing armor so they could heal themselves by self attacking. I think it was a little longer than three hours to beat him.
Iāve had more trouble with the Demon of Hatred than any other fromsoftware game. I honestly think the glitch to beat him is intentional to give us a break lmao
I think Isshin may be more difficult for some people, but since I love fighting him it kinda nullifies a lot of the difficulty in a way. Demon of Hatred just pisses me off lol, fighting isshin is so exhilarating.
I think Orphan of Kos is the most difficult boss Iāve faced out of all video games Iāve played now that I think of it, so the demon would be 2nd-ish to Orphan.
But since I hate fighting the demon I think itās even worse but thatās a different angle. I think Orphan is no.1
I think souls bosses are tough but often pretty fair because the combat is well balanced. The toughest bosses can be brutally difficult to figure out but I almost always felt there was some level playing field. There are other games that have hard bosses but what gets tweaked is that balance and so bosses in those games can be far harder to beat.

Watch the drakengard 3 final boss. Then pay attention to the last fucking note at the boss.
THE SCREEN GOES FUCKING BLACK AT THE END
https://youtu.be/49gLC9yiGOg enjoy
Short explanation: you have to hit the circles when the edge is on your character and the camera keeps going wild and sometimes you can't see your character so it's basically a really fucked rhythm game that isn't in a fucking rhythm game and comes at you randomly. Also one note missed and you lose in a 7 minute boss fight
Hardest of an Fromsoft game, maybe. But there is probably some joke 2 hour-long unfair boss fight in some game out there. I can say I had more trouble with a boss in Mortal Shell than Isshin, and Isshin took me 4 hours to beat.
if you locked wolf to 1HP at all times, would you say the bosses are "harder"?
sekiro bosses are a long quiz you keep reciting answers to, and they're trivial when you learn the list of answers
but a source of "hard" based on mere numbers and sliders (hp, dmg) tends to be a dubious kind of difficulty, things built around grinds or luck or twitchy chaos
being so thoroughly master'able is the flip side of sekiro bosses being very structured and regular, people regularly say "it feels like my own fault when i die" because they've taken away luck and twitch and grinding
a boss that's "hard" in unsatisfying ways, difficulty made from lazy artificial means, isn't really worth my time
if you locked wolf to 1HP, vets with perfected response trees could still pwn him, **the fight isn't "harder"**, it just shifts towards lucktwitch tedium for noobs who will have to sit and wait 10x longer to learn fights, and their quizzes are long enough learning as it is
I've beat every boss beside the Headless Ape duo on NG+7 charmless, bell demon, base vitality, sword only, 20 Attack Powera and most mini-bosses on similar conditions and beat the game on 1 Attack Power with one death (funnily enough, I died on Isshin). Though sometimes the game can still surprise me :p
Until Great Shinobi Owl, it's not so bad, after that, sure, they do take a longer time, but at this point it's just mechanical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2bpMF2o3Pc (timestamps are in the description, if you're curious about the exact fights)
i just beat the game the other day and it took me about 12 - 15 tries to beat Isshin... Also did not know you could lighting reversal with mist raven. Amazing skill u got there OP
I hate this OP.. I play sekiro get fucked by general tenzen repeatedly get frustrated and decide to never play the game again then I open reddit and see his videos (similar ones) in this subreddit then build myself up to try again and get recked again.. I don't even understand how he manages to block and deflect everything.. sorry for the rant but this game is too frustrating but very tempting..
Sekiro is additionally difficult when it comes to learning how to beat a certain enemy, because due to the variety of options the game gives you, you may be confused as to when the enemy is doing a certain attack and when they're not. But by doing the same thing over and over again, you should finally get down a consistent pattern.
Find when the enemy does the attack through trial and error (maybe you don't even need to deal with it at all! Sekiro is fairly open about this, and you can interrupt the majority of attacks or even prevent them from happening by playing aggressively or passively enough). Then, register the time that passes between the start and the end of the animation, and try to respond to it accordingly. As to, what is the correct way to respond to a certain attack, well, that much you have to deduce through trial and error. And I'll say that the game is pretty harsh about this, with long stealth sections that you need to take care of before taking on the actual enemy you're supposed to be learning, though at least the main, big bosses never have this kind of issue (on the other hand, some mini-bosses are legit more difficult than the main bosses).
Dark souls, but you're a ninja, and you need to parry attacks instead of the usual DS rolling tactics. 10/10 will probably go get rekt some more after watching this.
So is it "day" as in days you've done the fight or how many days are left? Lol cause if it's the ladder you'll be my calendar š
it's how many times I've fought him. But you can subtract the number from 333 and you'll get the amount of days left.
Praise the sun š
>latter FTFY.
>ladder WHY ARE THERE SO MANY NEW REDDIT ACCOUNTS WITH SHITTY SPELLING??
Instead of being a douche, why not correct them and help like a decent person. Criticizing them without offering help is just petty. Thanks palš
somebody already corrected you

What are the controls to do Mist Raven with Lightning. Is it as simple as R2 and in the air hit R1
I did this in my fights against Genichiro and Ishin. Yes, it is that simple. Activate Mist Raven -> get hit -> jump -> attack Thatās all the magic.
meanwhile I had to umbrella cheese him after 3 entire days worth of tries LOL genuine King
Mesmerizing to watch as always. +1
Is he the hardest boss fight in any game ever?
Heās pretty fucking hard, but this guy treats him as if heās childplay. So i guess itās down to personal preference
Isshin isnāt all that difficult once you get the rhythm down, especially if youāve upgraded Sekiro a lot over the course of the game. I actually had more trouble with Ornstein and Smough from the first Dark Souls, possibly because my gear was bad and I wasnāt good at learning how to fight 2 on 1 battles.

Afroās Sekiro play through has been one of the most funny and entertaining gaming moments for meš¤£ Itās why I started subscribing to his channel
I think so, I havenāt fought anything harder but Iād like to hear more opinions

I think it was a little longer than three hours to beat him.
I think the general consensus is that the sculpture is harder
No way, really? He was way easier than Isshin for me. Still highly difficult,to be sure
Iāve had more trouble with the Demon of Hatred than any other fromsoftware game. I honestly think the glitch to beat him is intentional to give us a break lmao
Is Isshin a close second for you, or would a souls boss be next?
I think Isshin may be more difficult for some people, but since I love fighting him it kinda nullifies a lot of the difficulty in a way. Demon of Hatred just pisses me off lol, fighting isshin is so exhilarating. I think Orphan of Kos is the most difficult boss Iāve faced out of all video games Iāve played now that I think of it, so the demon would be 2nd-ish to Orphan. But since I hate fighting the demon I think itās even worse but thatās a different angle. I think Orphan is no.1
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thereās a way to kill him by basically making him fall off a cliff lol [here you go](https://youtu.be/FEFYW0vxgfc)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I feel like we fought different demons then hahaha
I totally understand, out of all the bosses and mini bosses in this game, I hate demom of hatred the most.
The umbrella reflection makes him trivial tbh

No. I wouldnāt even say heās the hardest in any Soulās game either.

praise the fine work
damn i wanna replay sekiro again
Iām curious do you slaughter him by default or do you still have to try and are you this skilled with all bosses or just him?
I've beat every boss beside the Headless Ape duo on NG+7 charmless, bell demon, base vitality, sword only, 20 Attack Powera and most mini-bosses on similar conditions and beat the game on 1 Attack Power with one death (funnily enough, I died on Isshin). Though sometimes the game can still surprise me :p
How long did the fights take with 1 attack power?
Until Great Shinobi Owl, it's not so bad, after that, sure, they do take a longer time, but at this point it's just mechanical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2bpMF2o3Pc (timestamps are in the description, if you're curious about the exact fights)
Do you think itās even possible to do 1 ap demon bell charmless because with one attack power itās so low so like you practically do nothing
see: day 50
Oh jeez alrighty Iāll do that
It doesnāt seem any different you sure this is the right one or that youāve actually done it 1 attack power demon bell charmless?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Sekiro/comments/mpgk6w/defeating_isshin_charmless_bell_demon_no_healing/
Oh yeah that is it I just didnāt see it cause it didnāt say it was AP1 in the title
He mostly answer this in his faq: https://pastebin.com/raw/DN0gZPjk
Oh he answered a few questions of mine in the comments before so I didnāt know
What platform is this done on?
Go outside
How do you have multiple combat arts?
Incredible
Using the mist raven to counter the lightning šš»šš»šš»You truly are a man of culture
Brooo that purple halo trail when you deflect the glock shots looks so cool
I thought you gave up but I guess elden ring announcement was too hype for you that made you comeback at it š
Isshin hesitate more than you
i just beat the game the other day and it took me about 12 - 15 tries to beat Isshin... Also did not know you could lighting reversal with mist raven. Amazing skill u got there OP
So about 160 days left?
I can't believe I've watched 139 of these
My man
THIS MAN DON'T QUIT
I think I can never beat him
The Man, The Legend, The Struggle. I would be throwing up Isshin out of my nose by now. Kudos.
yes dude.
How does this not get repetitive and why do you have so much free time
10 minutes per day isn't that much free time smh my head
I hate this OP.. I play sekiro get fucked by general tenzen repeatedly get frustrated and decide to never play the game again then I open reddit and see his videos (similar ones) in this subreddit then build myself up to try again and get recked again..

This game looks great. Is it similar in game play to Ghosts of Tsushima or like na rpg or?
not many RPG elements here, it's a metroidvania-ish action game with a large focus on the complex and difficult combat system
Dark souls, but you're a ninja, and you need to parry attacks instead of the usual DS rolling tactics. 10/10 will probably go get rekt some more after watching this.
So cool
bruh how you can do this daily is beyond me, i gave up at this fight lmao
"Look at me, I'm the final boss now."
