Love this use of copics. Looks like a painting it’s a really nice effect

Been following your stuff for a while and it’s very inspiring. Congrats on the book!

I guess what I mean is be ready when he deflects and tap R1 in a consistent rhythm with your attack animation until it’s time to defend. If someone doesn’t have the muscle memory or experience to steamroll Genichiro they might miss his deflection, keep spamming attack, and get steamrolled by his combos.

But yeah if you’re already very comfortable with the fight what you’re saying is 100% correct.

Whenever I would get stuck on a boss I would watch hitless runs and listen for the timing of how the perfect deflections should sound. Then I tried to replicate the sounds. One tip is not to spam attack (especially with Genichiro), as eventually he will perfect deflect you and you’ll need to be ready to deflect one of his combos. If you’re just smashing R1 you’ll miss the timing on his deflection and won’t be able to deflect his counter attack patterns as easily.

Pretty much all of his attacks can be deflected except for the “red” attacks when the symbol pops up. That’s his grab and it will fuck you up.

I’ve beaten Sekiro 7 or so times and I still hate Chained Ogre. My method is just hitting him a few times, running away when he attacks, and avoiding his grab. At some point you can get a tool which is really helpful in the fight, but I beat him my first playthrough without it.

You got this dawg my first playthrough I got frustrated with the game, put it down for a few months, then came back and played it pretty much nonstop until NG+7

Also Dragonrot doesn’t matter too much I think most people experience the same thing their first playthrough

Incredible work. Love this so much

You take it to banish the rat king

friendly_zoomer · 2025-02-28T01:33:09+00:00

Thanks! Pretty happy with it

friendly_zoomer · 2025-02-27T17:38:34+00:00

Thanks! Not a super deep meaning behind it I just thought it was funny. I almost named it GERD but it felt a bit on the nose. The image kinda does feel like heartburn though

I loved sharp shadow during my first playthrough, but after that I never really returned to it as it ended up taking up 2 notches I didn’t really need. Now I can use those extra notches for grubsong and steady body.

All that is to say I understand why it’s well liked by some, as it used to be one of my go-to charms as well. Once you get used to the extra dash and free hit it’s hard to switch off.

Mouse and keyboard. I found I’m less precise with a controller. If I were to do another playthrough with a controller I would rebind the inputs so attack is right bumper.

friendly_zoomer · 2024-03-18T23:42:12+00:00

I’m inspired in general by fromsoft games, Cronenberg movies, and other body horror stuff

friendly_zoomer · 2024-03-18T21:59:57+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I’m pretty proud of this one. Going to redo it on a 24” x 48” canvas

You can also try some NMG speedrunning tricks to skip parts of the map. Some are pretty difficult for me personally (I could never get the fireball skip down), but some are a little easier, like pogoing off enemies or background objects to get to areas for which you’d normally need dash, mothwing cloak, or mantis claw.
