Bonfireside Chat 140: Ashina Depths / Mibu Village
🕑 Added 2019-07-14 19:09:47 +0000 UTCThe last item on our grocery list is a stinky stone found at the very bottom of Ashina, in Mibu Village. To get here, we have to cast ourselves out, and learn a little bit about the cosmic forces masquerading in our world to spread the rejuvenating waters.

I cannot remember what it was, but I remember there being a gimmick to defeat the dancing ghost girl. I think it’s a blade with poison

I’m late to the party, but the closest Sekiro comes to dealing with the gearing up side of gameplay is the prosthetics. In the case of terror enemies, the purple umbrella makes them more trivial. On the first undead ape right, using the umbrella allows you to hit before and after the terror scream, while taking no damage or status effects. It also works in similar manner for the headless and other undead fights.

Mibu Village was my favourite area atmosphere-wise on my first playthrough. Unnerving and weird.

Oh! Was I being punished for farming those dorks? Is it like The End in MGS 3? Interesting!

That's a cool idea, but those guys are actually phantoms that appear if you avoid O'Rin or not. They're basically Sekiro's memories and regrets building up as the game goes on. That one is one of the castle blue samurai guys

Speculation supported by nothing: when I was avoiding Orin to tackle the monk, at some point a single ghost dressed as a Samurai Lord would appear on the bridge just beyond her. I just assumed this fellow was the Lord Orin was seeking, especially since the moment you set foot on the bridge, she goes aggro, saying something like, "You would leave me just as he did." My head canon involves him trying to abandon her and some kind of confrontation between them happening on the bridge where they killed each other. I don't know. Makes it feel like a little more complete of a story at least!

"Take her to Grandpa's cheese barn" is my quote of the day thank you. I've never heard that before.

You can tank your way through the fight using the Lilac Umbrella upgrade and the Living Force skill, but I honestly think rushing the Sichiman Warrior down and blitzing him is more fun than farming for upgrade materials. That said, I still think instant death conditions are cheap, and I find it frustrating that every one of his attacks deals Terror damage.

I don't find it as bad as that, but From finds your weaknesses. The trick is once you get close he just does slow close-range attacks and you can just blitz him with divine confetti and a attack buff until he teleports away, at which point you need to run towards him before he does a fuck off laser. It's not a great boss fight but still less of a pain than the Headless

I was never able to beat him until legit the very end of the game. I kept assuming I'd find an item that made him remotely doable; turns out, no, you just have to stack everything you got and keep running in circles getting off one hit at a time.

From finds your weakness!

You both were far less irritated by the dual boss fight than I was. The fight wasn't hard but went on FOREVER waiting for them to both to the right moves to give me time to do more than a few slashes. I spent about 95% of the fight just running around waiting for an opportunity.

I did not know you could skip Shichimen Warrior until now. I always just stacked buffs and rush him down because keeping him at range is a nightmare.
