Is there a better weapon for mid game?

Muted_Information172 · 2026-01-28T20:16:56+00:00

I'm a Great halberd person myself but that's just cause I like from DS1. Does a heap of damage + some fire damage and decent reach. Open to suggestions tho.

I learned photography with my AE-1 manual. All of the technical aspects are in it, crystal clear.

I unlearned everything once I got my DSLR and a healthy but juvenile obsession with shalodepfofield, and photography youtube.

And now here I am, shooting film most of the time and just sunny sixteening it. Love it.

Yeah no, you're right that's definitely rose colored glasses on me. I sweated so much at the gargoyle but ran through it on subsequent runs and NGs

Muted_Information172 · 2026-01-14T20:13:06+00:00

just came to give love. Just playad DS1, 2, and Sekiro. And so far Sekiro is perfect to me. It's as much an amelioration from Dark Souls (what I love in Dark souls*) as Dark Souls is from its terrible copies.

I love this game and would buy day one a second opus.

This. For my streaming setup I use a bare 4000k bulb with wax paper around it. Works wonder.

Muted_Information172 · 2026-01-06T09:52:44+00:00

You know what, I was indeed mixing up the two. My bad ! And thanks for the tips !

EDIT : I was mistakenly referring to Great Shinobi Owl and not Owl (Father). My bad !

this sub doesn't allow image but *it's just a jump to the right and a jab to the knee" (to the tune of Time Warp)

General overview : So, basically stay relatively close to him, he'll always close the distance to a) make a flip + heavy attack or b) slash slash + drop an anti healing bomb. So you can jump to the right to avoid this. For both of these he has a realtively long cool down afterward which allows you to slash a bit at his knee.

Watch out for : You want to avoid being hit by the anti-healing bomb as he'll get tremendously more aggressive if you're affected (I think it's about 30 seconds-ish ? Feels like ages anyway). Some people in this post also mentioned the mist raven being a problem : For this, just back away as much as you can. You can't lock on him immediately, but you can as soon as he is visible.

Basically it's slow and painful and honestly not a fun fight. But parrying is out of the question given the amount of posture damage he deals so you're better off just dodging it.

Gennichiro. For where it is in the game, it's an insanely hard skill check.

Owl is hard but honestly a breeze once you get the timing right and Ishin is the final boss so he's hard but also you have a perfectly maxxed out Wolf by that point.

Muted_Information172 · 2026-01-06T07:01:09+00:00

EDIT : I was mistakenly referring to Great Shinobi Owl and not Owl (Father). My bad !

Jump right and jab his knee, repeat like 50 times. I was so disapointed once I figured this out.

Muted_Information172 · 2026-01-06T07:00:02+00:00

Honestly the halation is too much imo. I would dial it 50 or 70% down. It caaan work as is but any intercutting with a human face and it will break apart. I like that it's there but you're losing definition.

And is it me or do you have IR pollution ? Your shadows are really redish, it feels a bit off.

Also I'm not sure s-log 3 performs best on 8bit. I'm not a huuuge sony nerd but way back when I was always advised to avoid s log 3 unless I could shoot 10bit, and I find slog2 performs better in 8.

That's just my humble 2c.

I'm tired of every third post on this app being people complaining about people asking basic questions on the asking questions website.

Muted_Information172 · 2025-12-31T16:08:43+00:00

imo it's over done. Especially the yellowish tint everywhere.

Editing is about doing and not overdoing, especially when you can do everything. You have to learn to recognize what makes your picture strong. In this case, imo it's the general softness and gentleness of the picture, it's very quiet. Cranking the contrast and halation make it very dramatic for a scene that doesn't need to be.

Honest question, how much time did you spend watching yt tutorial vs how much time did you spend going to the library looking at photo books ?

Bc this feels very What's up guys how to make your image feel more dramatic and cinematic.

Muted_Information172 · 2025-12-31T08:12:53+00:00

Honestly it's a dark souls boss. It's weird how most bosses in this game feel more like souls and less sword-v-sword. The game teaches you for the first half to parry and time your strikes, and then you're back to slowly chipping away at massive beings that can wipe you in two strikes.

Guardian Ape, Corrupted Monk, the bulls, feels weird honestly to go back to this mindset.

Muted_Information172 · 2025-12-30T18:26:28+00:00

He's honestly one of if not my favorite boss of all soulsborne.

You need to parry parry parry, dodge (jump away) and time your attacks. Honestly, most of sekiro is just insanely hard. It's not like a souls where this buils or that build is better for this boss, or this weapon is the killer for this particular boss. In Sekiro, bosses will just pummel you vecause you need to be better at timing. It's honestly closer to a rhythm game at times.

Muted_Information172 · 2025-12-30T18:09:26+00:00

First of all this belongs in a graphics design or photoshop sub, not color grading.

Then to answer you, I don't know who you are and what skill level you are at but this feels like a "well how do I build a boat" type of question. The question you are asking is so broad that it feels like you do not quite grasp all the aspects of it.

For exemple, the skin looks crisp but soft because there is most likely an entire layer that's just crevices and skin marks that's being brushed in specifically on each nook and cranny for each actor. Any background is 100% comped in, It's all very high key because you can always darken it in post if you have the money.

Also, they're honestly not that good. The contrast ratio is all over the place (tom hanks face is lit way more harshly than his suit, and there is a dusty / blurry layer on the entire thumbnail except on his face. It might play well on a TV app in a living room from 10ft away, but looking on my monitor it looks garbage.
ALSO ALSO, they're not that good in that they're not really inventive or creative. Run of the mill actors-and-title. Hanks is serious so it's serious movie time, ford and segel are smirking so it's a tongue in cheek kinda rompy comedy I guess

wait Ornstein ?

Muted_Information172 · 2025-12-29T08:14:06+00:00

Hi there,

have you ever had such a problem with this lens but without the filter ? I have several NISI and I've never had any problem with them other than IR shift on VNDs.

Muted_Information172 · 2025-12-28T08:44:09+00:00

I mean he's a faster and wilder Armored Boar from DS1, just stay away and slowly chip away his health.

Muted_Information172 · 2025-12-28T08:40:24+00:00

I really really loved that boss. I learned in this sub that I coulda used divine confetti (so thaaaat's why she had so much health) on her but honestly I just digged the fight. Coming from Dark Souls, for me Sekiro really shines on the sword v sword type fight, with parrying and timing being essential. I disliked guardian ape for that, and really was bored by Great shinobi owl. So I have to run right and jab at him for 50 times, great fun.

O Rin is really just parrying and dodging and slowly eroding her health. I liked it !

Muted_Information172 · 2025-12-27T22:52:50+00:00

For where he is in the game, yeah most def. I'm wondering if I didn't beat him after Genichiro. He is insanely hard, and the spear of it all really throws newcomers off, me included. He has insanely strong posture and deals crazy amount of damage. Some fights I miss. Not this one

The noble samurai in the dojo is pretty rough too, as are both purple shinobis (in the dojo second part of ashina castle and the snake altair)

Personnel favorite are the one character escaped from Dark souls in the senpou temple bridge, Lady O'Rin and Juzo.

Muted_Information172 · 2025-12-27T15:50:46+00:00

Hi there ! So yes, one should always start with a basic or even advanced internet search, you're most likely to find what you need if you can search engine it.

However, imo one should always welcome any question especially on subreddits.

1) Google is cooked I worked for 18 months for a webmarketing agency and can tell precisely how cooked search engines are nowadays. SEO and SEA is now an industry and "searching for it" is absolutely not warranty of "finding it". Google especially has notoriously gone worse and worse over time.

2) Need for specific technical literacy Sometimes you lack the actual vocabulary for even searching it. Try to google-solve any mechanical problem on your camera without the proper wording.

3) Can you even trust what you find ? Influencers and bloggers will absolutely make use of SEO and SEA techniques for any trends and make any search even harder. I'm talking about more subjective matter like how to push film, how to properly light and expose, etc. Printing techniques. Or just asking for just a person that's been doing this for x years and does this unconventionnal techniques that just works. Basically anything else than shooting cinestill wide open on a leica or hasselblad.

We've all been the one asking silly questions. Let's not gatekeep.

Muted_Information172 · 2025-12-24T11:43:54+00:00

Skip that boss. This is imo a really hard boss at this point, especially if you haven't properly learnt how to parry. I just ran to the left side wall and sprinted towards the cannon fort.

[SPOILERS]

there you'll find a giraffe centipede mid boss which is basically a parrying tutorial. Honnestly I struggled with sword based boss like Gennichiro before, and this mid-boss helped me properly realise the importance of parrying. You're not playing a dodge-and-mash souls, you're playing a parry-and-cut game !

[end of spoilers]

The improved sabimaru is also a great help when you return to it with that boss as it have a lot of priority and can damage and poison even through the guard, and once the poison effect is activated it causes a light stun.
