  I’m surprised you even found the second owl fight on your first run. The Demon of Hatred is a tough one for sure, but people say he’s the most dark soulsy boss in the game. It wasn’t obvious to me, but there’s actually a way to reliably avoid his charge, and it doesn’t involve dodging.

  A really tough boss is the spear wielder with his sword pal at the Ashina Reservoir idol during the third act of the game. Fighting them 2v1 is a true test of skill.

  A few of my friends and I were really into the game, and we had a blast streaming our playthroughs and watching each other. The only one of us who didn’t think much of the game also didn’t consider it much of a challenge, though he extensively used Shinobi prosthetics, mortal draw, consumables, and even guides. I can imagine how the game might not live up to its reputation if you’re able to just plow through it and not feel the sense of accomplishment that can only come from finally beating each boss after they’ve stomped you into the ground a dozen times.

  I hope you enjoy the last boss and it makes the game seem worth it, or maybe you give it another go using one of the items that cranks up the difficulty, and you find some joy in that. I just think it’s a special game, and I want everyone to love it as much as I do.

  I really like Sekiro. It’s one of my favorite games and easily my favorite FromSoft game. If you’re almost done with it and you’ve only struggled with two bosses, you might not be enjoying it because you’re too good at it.

  I feel like it’s almost entirely fair, which I appreciate. I like the setting and the exploration. I like that it’s sort of short and contained. And I like how all the bosses have unique challenges to deal with.

  And Genichiro is one of the best boss battles of any game I’ve ever played

  I definitely used to feel this way, and I haven’t seen Rings of Power, so I can’t speak to it, but I’ve been steadily growing more open to the idea of people adapting the setting and building stories within Tolkien’s universe.

  Dude, I was legitimately creeped out when the rogue picked up the mirror. Super cool setting.

  Ah fuck, I didn’t notice that. Is that true in all cases?

  I’ve upgraded mine four times.

  Yeah that’s true. Pretty horrific when you picture it.

  Your logic implies that a hundred cows are killed to source a single burger. That’s not how that works. Be vegan, but don’t be stupid.

  Well obviously you just attempt to invent it afterwards and succeed by random chance.

  Couldn’t you use the penny and just attempt to find the cure for death? It makes everything else silly.

  Same. I played it on the switch maybe a year ago, and at first I didn’t understand the reputation for being tough, but after a half hour I was too frustrated to keep playing.
