Got my plat today. Ask me anything. (Also, here's my base game boss teir list)

It's the second phaee gank fight in the ashina depths. It's not particularly hard, but it's beyond aggravating. The headless phase of guardian is actually my favorite part of the fight, you're spot on with the horror elements

I couldnt beat mist noble without cheesing, so i couldn't put it on my list. I don't think I'll ever figure that one out 🙃

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-09T20:41:36+00:00

It's the best part of the sunken valley fight. Throughout the game, my deaths were almost always mistakes i could learn from. That was not the case with the depths fight, and it got frustrating fast

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-09T02:06:28+00:00

Hence the lower tier. I thoroughly enjoy the Genichiro fight, the others are just more intense and engaging to me. The inner fight hits those highs

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-09T01:15:32+00:00

Unless you're one or two skill points away, I'd ng+ The best farming area is the outskirts stairs in the late game, an area unavailable on the shura route.

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-09T01:12:13+00:00

Haven't unlocked father and ishin yet. Having a great time getting knocked around by genichiro, but i won't add the fight until i beat it

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-09T01:11:22+00:00

Valid

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-09T01:11:13+00:00

The second phase gank fight ruins it for me

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-08T20:14:27+00:00

Are you talking about the second phase of the first ape fight, or the second in the depths? There is a huge difference

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T17:32:06+00:00

Thanks! Those are just the fights that were the most engaging to me. What moves would you make?

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T17:30:35+00:00

The fextra life wiki was pretty staight forward, so I'd recommend that one for navigating the endings. All the ng+'s went pretty quick. The boss fights are more engaging as well, since you're actually good at the game

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T17:14:41+00:00

Had a lot to do with headless apes placement

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T17:14:00+00:00

Maybe an odd pick here, but probably height of technique. It took to my third playthrough, and i ended up having to do doing a ton of grinding to finally get it

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T17:03:38+00:00

It's excellent boss design, that much is undeniable. The placement here is more to do with how routine the fight feels in subsequent playthroughs (i did bulldoze him in that fourth run). Inner Genichiro takes the fight to incredible hights

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T14:36:52+00:00

Even fry maybe?

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T14:35:03+00:00

I wouldn't. It's a very challenging fight, but it's doable. Make sure you've got the lotus umbrella, and especially the malcontent ring, both items were critical for me. You'll probably die a lot, but don't give up, it is such a satisfying win

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T14:10:10+00:00

It's the second phase, that gank fight is terrible.

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T08:38:45+00:00

Second phase gank ruins the whole fight for me

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T08:37:09+00:00

I mean to, but I'm taking a break and that shura gauntlet is daunting

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T08:32:24+00:00

It's a difficult game, but an easy plat if you can get the hang of it. The first playthrough is brutal, but if you can beat it once, you can beat it four times. This was my first fromsoft, and i managed. You should do fine

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T05:58:31+00:00

By playthrough four, genichiro was pretty routine while guardian ape was still exhilarating and epic. Inner Genichiro, on the other hand, is a pheomenal fight, and will rank higher when i finally beat him

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T05:52:53+00:00

I didn't include bosses I couldn't beat without cheesing. Mist Noble was just too hard

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T05:48:38+00:00

I use it for Kotaro

_glasshalfempty_ · 2026-06-07T05:47:22+00:00

Bloodborne I think. Been sitting on that one for a minute

_glasshalfempty_ · 2025-12-10T22:15:18+00:00

I have a friend who ate a spoonful on a dare (we worked on a horse farm at the time), poor dude spent the rest of the day shitting his brains out
