I suppose a lot of the mini bosses can be skipped, although maybe they turn into trash mobs once your fully maxed?It's insane how quick you can blow through this game when you've done it once. NG+ and got up to and defeatedwithin an hour of starting.Guardian Ape

Was fighting him last night. Got to the final phase but couldn’t get him after an hour of trying. I do like the quote in the cut scene leading up.Just beat Genichiro after thirty attempts, jumped to my feet and did some involuntary hip thrusts. What a crazy difficult early game boss.
He’s dead. Only took another 2 hours. Pro tip, put in some headphones and listen to music to not get too angry after the first hour, worked for me. God it feels so good to lunge that sword in when you’ve finally done it (at the same time praying a fourth phase doesn’t start).
Got up to the ape, what a prick of a boss. Definitely a dance.
even worse was when their was two of them 30 minutes after I finally beat the first one. Thankfully took me less than an hour as I already knew the dance.
You kind of have to play with your finger over L1 even when your smashing R1. If you're anything like me you'll have a bad habit for spamming R1 but you should try to train yourself out of this. You need to be always open to deflecting and spamming R1 tends to give people tunnel vision as you mentioned. If anything in Sekiro, it's L1 that you want to spam.Cool, I'll keep that in mind. The hardest thing to adjust to is having to be aggressive as it's natural in a From game to be conservative. When I try to be I end up tunnelling and miss the tells. That's the practice I guess.
Started playing this.
Lady Butterfly is a campaigner.
spam block, get her posture bar up, don't let her get too far away from you
Got through it using different tactics (saw this post after beating her, thanks tho). I don't know if I'm playing it right but I tend to chip away at bosses health bars with quick precise strikes after learning their move sets rather than go for posture kills. Its worked on most but totally ineffective against a couple.
That feeling when you beat a boss you've been stuck on is total euphoria.
Yeah that does work too. Some battles just take time if their patterns are too hard to get. Not sure how far in you are but there is a certain mid game boss that I just couldn't beat unless i just chipped away. Trying to parry just ****** me up.
Would you say its wise to run around for a few hours mindlessly killing grunts to level up skills or not worth it?
Not worth it. You can only gain other skills and not increased def/att.
My little tip for Genichiro, try this pattern as your base method to get some deflections happening - Attack once then block x3. Then he usually does 3 different things. If you can start to predict it you will blast through the first 2 phases.
Biggest thing imo that will carry you throughout the game is to remain aggressive and being able to recognise when the enemy parries you, you'll notice this happens when you're clanging swords on the attack and there's a huge spark from the swords, that's an indication that they're about to go on the attack so then you can be prepared to parry and build up their posture and then go back on offense, it'll also get you used to his attack timing/patterns. Genichiro is a great fight for feeling this stuff out, if you can go through the learning pains of being comfortable parrying you'll get through the rest of the game fine, I think.
Obv play your own way but I really think in the long run you'll end up having a much easier time if you focus on getting good at parrying and building up posture vs turtling and trying to find your spots chipping away at HP (which also has value at times since the lower the red bar the quicker enemy posture will build up)
