Before seeing this video: It's impossible. After seeing this video: It's possible but I still can't do it. After training in reflection of strength for 79 times and seeing this video once more: I'm invincible ⚡
Guys! Finally after 4 days of constant pattern reading and ass whooping I chose to take a different approach and after about no less than 100 tries, I got him down. With no hit, no emblem usage and no buff. I'm pretty satisfied with the boss as it was the best boss fight in Sekiro.
The new in the air, air slashes were quite sudden for my tired ass when i got to him the first time with demon bell. I knew i wasn't ready yet so i just left on my own. I'm more of a combined learner of visual and audios. I really could learn the moves without fighting when i watch videos many times
Sometimes you just gotta watch a video to see how the boss fights! I have moments where I have to rewatch some clips to figure out how/when to parry or dodge to understand the fights better :o)
thank you so much i didnt look for a cheese i needed a guide that tells me what his abilitys are because i played against him the first time so i watched and i did it first try i just had to ressurect once in the first stage without using the firecracker or umbrella thank you so much
Can someone explain why people would rather interrupt or parry his black blade moves, literally all you have to do is dodge into it, it’s not hard, even his over head swing is easy, just dodge into it??
More impressed from Genichiro, he's a lot tougher than in the game, but at least you can unlock a very useful new attack. I passed this after the third try. Second time I was defeated from the owl :D
I feel you should unlock black mortal draw instead of the tengu outfit, it's kind of mediocre for having to fight this boss with stronger attack and undodgeable mortal draws against isshin
same for me owl father was no issue when the dlc dropped. I only noticed the mist ravens on the second phase as i usually purple firecracker and ichinonji double him three time to riposte. the wall was genichiro and isshin.
hey @xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 is it true that highmonk can be used for lightning reversal too or no? I wanted to ask as I like using that attack more than sakura dance.
I'm Trying to parry the mortal blade attack plainly with the sword without taking damage i managed to parry the first mortal blade swing perfectly with no damage taken but the second swing keeps getting me, any tips on that?
He is easy. The only difference is those wind attacks and he doesn't seem to do the sweeping attack after the jump. What I would recommend is that if your struggling to parry the wind attacks, use the shield, it has a pretty long charge up so it's easy. The way of tomoe Genichiro is exactly the same as base game, except for the wind attacks and the lighting attacks work slightly different. You need to throw them back at him twice to stun him, but beside those two things, he isn't any different. Good luck, hope my tips help
@@SAshahd0 don't stand, you need to jump up and grab the lightning then throw it back (tank lightning in mid air then right click, as you land use left click)
yet another phase 1 where he never does his instant ashina cross. What the fuck is with this, why can't I find a video of isshin doing this move to someone else? He fucking constantly does it to me, and I just can't figure out how to deal with this
I have a similar problem. I attack him after one of his combos and (without the yellowish light for parries to indicate it's his turn to attack) he does an incredibly fast thrusting attack (with the palm or the hilt idk) that stagger me for a bit and then he slashes horizontally (you should jump). However you have to be really really quick and hope the staggering from the first attack not to get in the way. I managed to avoid the second one by spamming (ik it's a cheap tactic but the window to jump is so small you need to have absolutely perfect timing) the jump button but not the first one yet. The worst thing about this is that there is nothing anywhere, no pro players explaining how to avoid it, no solved posts, no videos that even shows that mf attack.... I guess it's just us? Sometimes He does it even 3 or more times in a fight, and he almost always do it at least once when I challenge him. Quite annoying since he can one shot me with it
@@vhals2052 the problem is that gauntlet of strength fights are more aggressive then the reflection fights (practise fights) the moves are more sporadic and it seems like these fights are of the practise fight not of the actual gauntlet. I am stuck in this fucking rat. I beat everyone else but when i get here i fucking crap out.

Glad to see a walk through without cheating on emblems. Like a actual fight.
Didnt know the sakura slash channels the lighning like that. Awesome
Sakura Dance makes the game easy mode.
this video is by far the best guide on this boss
Thank you for the firecracker thing I’ve had trouble for so long trying to no hit but ever time I try to parry I take chip damage

thanks man I only haved problem with the black mortal blade and I can beat the hell out of him
thanks to you
Glad to be of help!

I had way more problems with Genirchiro than with Isshin. And the new father was really easy for me.
Inner Father had me sh*tting myself.
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 that goddamn mist raven dodge he does is a dick move

Damn as much as I used the firecrackers, it never even occurred to me to use them on his charge attacks. Duh... Thanks man, appreciate the tip
I’m on this guy now and he is no joke.
I can beat 1st phase easily, but the 2nd phase is whats getting me
Thank you thank you so much you're honestly my hero❤
amazing and perfect explanation how to beat this boss.
hey @xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 is it true that highmonk can be used for lightning reversal too or no? I wanted to ask as I like using that attack more than sakura dance.
I'm not sure about highmonk being able to do lighting reversal. I've never tried it :o
yes high monk can be used for reversal. basically any move that lifts you in air can do lightning reversal for eg. great aged mist raven.
I hate that i M always so scared in this fight cause i dont want to waste 20 min again for the other 4 bosses
Thanks for the tips
No problem! :o)
Easy fight except the fuckin mortal draw he does, hopefully this video helps with thqt
what's the move you use to counter the lightning? is not the usual jump and hit
It's the Sakura Dance that you get from defeating Inner Genichiro
I'm Trying to parry the mortal blade attack plainly with the sword without taking damage i managed to parry the first mortal blade swing perfectly with no damage taken but the second swing keeps getting me, any tips on that?
its a bit late haha, but the umbrella. You wont get knock over if u time it right
@@erosandreidiaz466 i mean with the sword. The umbrella is easier of course
It's a shame fromsoft left this boss design to their unpaid interns. Just took an awesome boss and added shitty mechanics to make ut unfun.
Stuck at inner genichiro
Reflection of Strength is what you need. :o)

Brother, how do I block lightning?
You jump. Once in the air hit the attack button to counter it
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 THX BRO🫂
@@SAshahd0 how did you pass Genichiro?
@@hainguyn948 I know how to block, but I saw a content maker doing the skill of blocking lightning when standing only
@@SAshahd0 don't stand, you need to jump up and grab the lightning then throw it back (tank lightning in mid air then right click, as you land use left click)
Do u get anything from beating him
The tengu outfit and more attack power
I get stuck on true monk most times I try the gauntlet, the cheese doesn't work the best
I beat him first try lmfao
DAYUM!
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 Idk how but I did 💀
yet another phase 1 where he never does his instant ashina cross. What the fuck is with this, why can't I find a video of isshin doing this move to someone else? He fucking constantly does it to me, and I just can't figure out how to deal with this
Same bruh, he hits you with the hilt, then does the cross right? It’s like a two part Ashina cross, always Fukin gets me
