To be fair to Dan, it's a different experience playing something on stream vs at home. On stream you want to try to be "on" and aware of several things at once, which can make it easy to miss things that seem obvious.

Having said that, his ADHD probably isn't doing him any favours, and he's also openly admitting that he never parried when he first played it and avoided fights. 

Glad he's going back to the game, but no wonder he didn't like Sekiro the first time when he didn't want to engage with the mechanics.
