How to reduce the difficulty of the game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

“Should we reduce the difficulty of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice?” – This is a question being asked by some players after experiencing this revenge ninja action game with developer FromSoftware.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

However, according to professional gamers as well as opinions from experts, the game is made to challenge, the game is difficult to demonstrate skills. If any game is easy for players to overcome, it will lose its attractiveness. It can be said that this is the endless battle of two teams, one with skills and the other without game skills.

One thing is easy to understand, it is that anyone can play, play well, everyone can be a professional gamer, so the competitions of the continental and world stature, when opened, does it still mean anything?

And in fact, until now, there is no way we can reduce the difficulty of this role-playing game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. But according to some experienced players, we can use some of the following tips to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Easier.

Listen for the sound of a weapon’s collision

You can tell when the enemy blocks your attack through the sound of weapons colliding. That would be the sharp, solid, and compact sounds of two metal weapons, colliding with each other due to the weight of speed and force.

As soon as you block your attack, the enemy will immediately counterattack with extremely dangerous “killing” moves and you need to be ready to receive, press the block button at the right time to earn Posture or if No, dodge quickly.

Gamers can take advantage of this to destroy low-level monsters and spirits more easily. Because these enemies often have fairly simple attacks, easy to guess. If you lure them into a trap, you can attack and destroy the Posture bar to destroy them quickly.

Texture of the opponent’s blood

For Sekiro players, everyone must know the importance of the Posture and Death Blow – Blocking and counter-attacking. However, this usually only maximizes low level minions, while it is more difficult for boss monsters, as their Posture bar recovers quite quickly.

With a little bit of distance between their attacks, their Posture was able to recover almost completely. So, when fighting with this form, you should take the opportunity to dodge and pry the enemy’s health, when they lose a lot of health, they will weaken and the Posture bar also recovers much slower. This is also the time when you have a chance to use Death Blow.

Use special attacks (skills)

Sekiro’s enemies in this RPG have three different special attacks, each represented with red kanji. Although it’s difficult, we can still block or counter-attack effectively. However, we also need to learn about these special skills, like:

Stabbing:

• This move usually comes from enemies using spears. Using Mikiri Counter is the best way to counterattack. That is, you will control your character to jump onto the opponent’s weapon to destroy his Posture, then launch Death Blow.
• In addition, using Sekiro can also dodge through the spear. But this is a bit more difficult, because it is very likely that the enemy will change direction and change to another attack that we did not expect.

Horizontal slash:

• If we were attacked by this attack, we could jump over that sword line and rush towards the enemy. If you are lucky, you will be able to hit the opponent and destroy the Posture.
• With this move, we have a sign that you are doing it right and there will be a shockwave and resonance effect. After hitting the target, Sekiro can use his sword to deal additional damage to the opponent.

Arrest:

• If you remember, the giant near the beginning of the game had a few moves to catch people from far away, for new players this was a rather annoying attack. But in fact, compared to the two attacks above, this person-grabbing game can escape quite easily like dodging or jumping.

A suggestion that From Software also implicitly gives players its ninja game, that is the firm “tick” so that gamers can clearly recognize each attack of the enemy. You can observe the enemy’s movements and posture to know which moves they are about to use and how you need to dodge. Specifically:

• When the enemy gathered the weapon, it would be a stab.
• If the opponent raised his sword to his hip and swung his shoulder, it would definitely be a slash.

Training with Immortal Hanbei

Immortal Hanbei can be considered a great training partner. We can comfortably deliver the opponent without being afraid to accidentally finish him off. Practicing with Hanbei regularly, you will have the opportunity to master the moves, skill combos or blocks, dodge and move so as not to die too much while playing for real.

Read instructions for playing

One of the things that many players often overlook is “ignoring” NPCs. This is actually a mistake, because NPC not only provides useful advice, but they also help us to explore and find important relationships to be able to go through easily.

With Sekiro, if you take the time to talk a bit, you will have the opportunity to find useful parts for prosthetics, or some description also tells you about clues to complete side quests in the game.

Observe the enemy and battle terrain

Sekiro in particular and many other games in general are often “accidental” or “intentional” giving the boss a weakness for players to take advantage of. It’s a death point on the body, or standing in a position that allows us to “blow” with enthusiasm, sometimes a silly move for the Death Blow player.
In short, look closely, because these little things sometimes help you win.

Put the money away

The “scoop” of a life in this Sekiro strategy game is heavily deducted (50% of money and experience). This is indeed a bitter fruit for those who “die to gain experience”. In addition to that, the god Unseen Aid’s grace will also be greatly reduced if you die too much.

A small tip to save you this time, that is, use the cloth bag (Purse). If you go into a new land and do not know what awaits you, it is best to stop by the store and buy a cloth bag, put your money in it to be safe.

Farm lots of oil

The oil in Sekiro becomes extremely useful if combined with the component Flame Barrel to deal damage over time to bosses. Also, when we burn the enemy, we also have a chance to slash it a few more to finish it faster. We can farm this oil in Hirata Mansion.

Another thing to note, is learn to jump long distances (hold the dodge key to run + press the jump button) to avoid the ultra-wide sweep of bosses using super long and large weapons. This is also one of the ways to help reduce the difficulty of fighting large and slow bosses in the game.

Install the mod

Needless to say, this mod is not developed by From Software, but this is the product of a Modder on the network. Perhaps due to sympathy, this modder has created a version to help gamers who are too “chicken” have the opportunity to experience Sekiro deeper.

This mod includes support for 21: 9 screens, increased depth of field, and an always-on indicator screen so players can keep track of their deaths. The most important thing about this mod is that the player can reduce the speed of the world around him, while still maintaining the original speed. This not only helps us see the opponent’s attacks better, has more time to dodge, but also makes counter-attacks easier.

The above things may be a bit difficult to do for those who first play the game is considered “sweet” in the world. However, it can also be considered a bit of experience, the trick to play Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for your reference.
