5 stages of beating a fromsoft boss
1. "This is impossible"
2. "Ohhhh that's how you dodge it"
3. "I was sooo close dammit "
4. "I can't even get back to the 2nd phase"
5. "LETS FUCKIN GOOOO!"
Just beat isshin this morning,
Now fight prime owl
@@V__rzn Been stuck on him for at least 5 hours lmao
@@TheDkmBeats did u beat him ?
@@TheDkmBeats You got this!
The cant get back to 2nd phase is too relatable
The description of the Black Mortal Blade in the Black Scroll says it is able to open a gate to the underworld. Genichiro, realising he cannot defeat you, sacrificed himself to open it and bring Isshin back. The person is brought back to life with goal of their summoner - as Isshin said, "Pitiful grandchild, this was your last wish". Isshin wants to "see Ashina returned from the great beyond" on behalf of Genichiro, so he fights you, just like Genichiro.
I'm explaining this bc I've seen many questions on the internet on why we even fight Isshin. So here it is.
The underworld must be American because that's how isshin got the guns
DAMN
And the person comes back at the peak of their prosperity as well. Such a cool bit of lore.
You can find the scroll that hints of the Black Blade, and even ask Isshin about it, but it still does feel a bit like an *sspull, as it doesn't have nearly as much buildup as the Red Mortal Blade did, which required heading to Senpou Temple and solving a puzzle inside to earn the weapon. The description is also easy to miss, which leads to Isshin's reveal confusing most people on their first time. That being said, we do get arguably the best final boss in recent times, so I excuse it in the end.
On another note, I wonder if Isshin followed Genichiro's wishes out of obligation through some rule that the ressurection imposes, or if Isshin did this purely out of pity (and maybe love) for his grandson.
@@leithaziz2716I imagine the answer to your question is yes.
HESITATION IS DEFEAT
rip bozo
The man himself! ❤
Bro really changed his pfp 💀👍
Nah he turn crazy every dead he had
"HOW MY BLOOD BOILS?!! FACE ME SEKIRO!"
Genichiro was really the measuring stick of the game. The first encounter seems like an impossible hill to climb, he's supposed to kill you. The second encounter is the big skill check of the game and the first to have three phases. Finally, in the end, Genichiro Ashina is nothing more than a bump on the road on the way to Isshin. While Genichiro was getting weaker, you were getting better.
Well put.
You can beat first time genichiro still lose beat him two more time game over best ending in my opinion
Very good game the absolute Goat
🐐
I disagree, Genichiro also gets better. But Sekiro surpasses him.
@@f.g.5967yea, sekiro was just rusty when genichiro beat him
Not to mention that in ng+ you can beat him first fight because you realize he's just difficult because you're new, he gets harder but doesn't lose his core mechanics that fuck you in the beginning just a top teir boss
I love how Fromsoft made the character of Kuro. He doesn't follow the traditional "child that needs to be saved" troop of starting out annoying and then forming an emotional bond with the protagonist with the passage of time. Rather, he's a mature, kind, and gentle soul who puts the peace and prosperity of others above his own life.
When you ask the Souls Community who the hardest boss is, you get three answers:
Orphan of Kos
Malenia, Blade of Miquella
And Isshin, the Sword Saint.
The Three Gods of Souls and you beat them all, and I couldn’t be more proud of you 🥹
Well done, Mati.
And the one to rule them all: Gravity
replace orphan of kos with sister friede
Weird, I know Isshin as the glock saint
@@cheesously6234 agreed
Personally I would add Sister Friede to that list, but very true.
It's always a blast seeing folks' reaction to Sword Saint Isshin becoming the Glock Saint at phase 2. What a playthrough.
And let it be known: at 36:29, Isshin hesitated. You made him flinch. He doesn't do that often.
Good catch. Also in the last run, 1:00:27 , Isshin hesitated and it was immediately followed by his defeat.
The way I interpreted Isshin coming out of Genichiro was that the second mortal blade creates a gateway to hell (it says so in the description of an item found behind old Isshin's house in a chest). So basically Genichiro uses himself as a sacrifice to open a portal to hell to allow prime Isshin to bring Ashina to glory. Pretty badass but I could be wrong.
I love this bro I totally forgot about the underworld mention in the item hahaha so freaking cool
I got this ending the first time as well, and it always gets me.
To think what Sekiro has gone through.
From depths to heavens he challenged gods, monsters, and warriors of legends.
And still he has humility to just sacrifice himself..... with no hesitation.
While the Dragon's Return is the more popular ending (and the one that leaves room for a sequel), the Purification ending is my favorite. Sekiro chooses to sacrifice his life, not out of obligation to his father or the Iron Code, but of his own want for Kuro to be able to live a normal life. And Kuro in turn chooses to live his life to the fullest, to honor Sekiro's kindness. The ending is very emotional, and had solid buildup through your conversations with Emma and Kuro.
Immortal severance is my favourite because it makes Sekiro a cycle of life
Purification is my favorite because it fits the most with the Buddhist themes of the game. By sacrificing himself selflessly for the sake of Kuro, Sekiro achieves true nirvana and escapes the cycle of Samsara. He went from a machine of a shinobi to a man who made his own and chose to protect rather than obey; while Genichiro, Owl, and the Senpou monks refused to let things end, Sekiro did, even becoming sakura petals in the end which represent the beauty of mortality. Really does Fromsoft's "end of an age" theme the best.
That heartfelt outro genuinely hit me, I’m glad you got to experience this franchise with the rest of us.
Everyone when they see Genichiro has "only one deathblow"
"haha I'm in danger"
This is my FAVORITE From boss, nothing compares for me!!!
I’d say him and gael are the top bosses
Thank YOU for the last year and a half. You’ve done much for us as well man. Let’s go brother 🎉
Thank you my man your support really means the world
After playing Sekiro again recently, I think Isshin is legitimately the best boss I've fought in recent years. He tests you on nearly everything you've been taught to do. Learning to beat him after struggling for hours was a feeling of accomplishment that's hard to replicate in many games.
Watching people react to the Isshin introduction is always so great. That has to be one of the most gotesque and awesome boss entrances ever made. And I could feel the focus in that last fight in my bones! Well done, dude. You definitely made Isshin proud.
I’m so so glad you chose Purification as your 1st play-through ending Mati. In my eyes, this is the best of all 4 endings. It just fit perfectly in the storyline and everything. I was a mess bawling & wailing when the music hit 1:07:19. And Kuro’s words before he left… it was just perfect!
Absolute perfection bro I can't think of a better way to end the story and yes the music really goes in at that moment such a work of art 🥺
HESITATION IS DEFEAT
- Isshin Ashina, The Art of War
You finally got to hear the line properly.
But seriously this was an amazing journey. Love your palythroughs and can't wait for Demon's Souls and Hollow Knight's true ending. Sekiro was my first Fromsoft game and also my favorite. The combat, the setting, everything is just amazing.
Maire, Sekiro!
Chi ga taggite kita wa. Ikuzo, Sekiroooooooo!
PS: I also really recommend you go through NG+ and choose to betray Kuro when Owl asks you to. Trust me, you won't regret it.
The part at 7:18 where Sekiro draws his sword is pivotal. If you compare it to the first time he drew his sword against Genichiro all the way back at the beginning, you can plainly see how much he has improved. It’s magic. He fumbled the first time. This time, it’s a thing of beauty with no hesitation.
Edit: Fixed the time!!!! Lol
Brother...this video isn't 7 hours lol
😂@@LourdessApekatt
But if his time with Isshin was anything like mine, it could have been 7 hours long 🤣
Congratulations! It has been a really fun playthrough.
This is perhaps the best boss that Fromsoftware has ever created!
The feeling of the world burning outside with the war by the numbers happening out there yet the fate of Ashina actually being decided in this duel at the moat is an excellent construction of the game's crescendo!
What’s even cooler is that the game is called “sekiro” yet isshin is the only person in the entire game that calls you that name. He’s your master, he’s your mentor, and he’s your friend, something that is only found in gehrman yet this fight feels even more impactful because throughout the whole game it’s about WOLF, not any other character. Even the most personal fight in the game, owl father, revolves around wolf, yet this final boss isn’t about just him anymore. It’s not about wolf overcoming a personal gripe of his or an enemy that is required to kill for an item to sever immortality, but rather it’s a duel in the purest form between 2 people that actually care about each other. It’s the only time in the entire game where it’s not about wolf, but rather the story of wolf and the sword saint told in this single fight, it’s also not a coincidence that this fight feels the most like a dark souls boss. Demon of hatred, while it may play like a dark souls boss, is like a harder version of the guardian ape and doesn’t have that same “vibe”, yet this fight does. It’s literally the best boss fromsoft has ever made alongside gael, who also happens to be “the main character” of his own story just like isshin. Absolutely incredible.
@@Sephirothkingdom782he names you, it means one armed wolf.
@@just-gaming213 yea I know
@@Sephirothkingdom782I didnt realize Isshin is the only one that calls you Sekiro... Makes the foreshadowing even cooler...
I played Elden Ring first too, then sekiro then DS3 then bloodborne. I have fallen in love with every thing Fromsoftware has created, their creativity, level design and overall writing are out of this world. Miyasaki is so ahead of his time it's actually ridiculous.
Seeing you going through these games was a f*cking treat, thanks for allowing me to put myself in the eyes of someone discovering these universes again, you rock
One of the best bosses in all of gaming. Truly, the ultimate final exam that tests you on everything you’ve learned. Hesitation is defeat.
This game was the first from soft game I played through more than 6 times. This playthrough was absolutely amazing. You've gitten gud so fast. And always remember:
迷えば、敗れる
Mayoeba, yabureru
WHAT A GAME! That ending is so touching man. Loved your playthrough Mati
One of the best in all of these games for real! I appreciate you my man keep on killing it
Just wanted to let you know that, although it was awesome seeing you face Isshin, your speech at the end gave me goosebumps. Loved being with you on this journey. Don't stop being you.
I appreciate you super sperm keep on swimming brother
@@matiasgagosperm?
@@Wonkess_Chonkessread his name my friend
@@TimothyGod oh I thought he just randomly said supersperm lol
@@Wonkess_Chonkess nah, but i also had to do a double take
This was a special one, have been with you from the beginning of elden ring and and man you make for good content, not just the fights and all but the way you express yourself to us and generally appreciate everything, it's just so nice. By the way you might want to prepare yourself for those harder fights you will face in the gauntlets, they are pain, good pain but still PAIN and I just know you will love it so I will love watching it too. Have a great weekend my dude, rest up, get your shit back together from the ending and I will be here to watch your next video the moment you upload it. :)
FromSoft games are seriously life changing. I'm so glad you experienced these games too. By the way you really should make a boss tier list man. It would be so much fun.
Can’t believe how fast this series went by, it has been a roller coaster of emotions to share with you and I couldn’t ask for a better finale. Thank you for all you do Mati!
Can’t wait to see you do the other endings 😊
Oh they are coming! :D
@@matiasgagouhh.. when? XD
@@matiasgagowell that was a f’ing lie
man, I actually never played sekiro and yet I got chills during the fight with isshin. also listening to your speech at the end just made me smile. love your content so much man, keep up with the good work
The end of an amazing series. Super pumped to follow along with your next series!
Wow, that was an amazing outro man. You seriously have helped me through the shittiest year and a half of my life. I really leaned on your content as a distraction from all of lifes BS. I think you do more for people than youll ever know bro. Straight up. I genuinely appreciate you and your efforts to entertain and share your playthroughs with us.
Take care ❤
Cool thing: look how Wolf grabs his sword in the first scene when he get his arm chopped of and then watch how he grabs his sword for this fight.
And also great ending to a great series! Looking forward to whats next 🙌🕹️
I liked how you said that you finally feel like you have a purpose. I hope you continue what you're doing, you make our day better .Much love from Romania!
(while fighting Genechiro)
"I will not let him kill me once"
*immediately proceeds to get killed by him*
I love you Mati
It happens 😅
😂 "I always wondered if you could fall off the cliff."
*le plummet*
Your ending monologue is great, man. And it matches the theme of Sekiro, too. Embrace what it means to be human. Have purpose, have meanings. Thanks for the ride!
Like the end of the other games it’s always nice to reflect on the journey myself and everyone else has been lucky to be a part of with you. Since the first video of yours that I saw you’ve been a warm campfire that we all come back to to share laughs and time. Thank you for another amazing journey man, I can’t wait for all the ones to come
Yeeeees! Been looking forward to this! By the way, if you ever get the chance, please try the other ending where you choose to side with Owl and forsake Kuro. I promise it’s worth doing.
And the fight is way better
Especially if he wants to do Lore and Chill. I’d hate for him to be spoiled on it since it is not just a mere “ending.”
I’ve seen quite a few people comment similar sentiments, I know I have as well. Have yet to see a single one Mati has interacted with so seems likely it’ll get spoiled for him sadly
Your speech over the credits was inspired, and I'm so glad you've found a calling in life, it's especially rare these days. Glad to part of the community, looking forward to the future!
It’s been a ride! I discovered your channel when you were doing Dark Souls 2, and haven’t looked back since! I don’t watch a lot of gamers, but watching someone like you play FromSoft games for the first time is as close as we can get to having another first play through ourselves, and I would like to thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos. Excited to see what’s next!
You did good, Wolf.
the last kick of ass:)
Congratulations Mati! You finally beat Isshin the Sword Saint and played through Sekiro for the first time. All the happiness, the frustration, the exitement and maybe even the sadness you felt, so did I and I believe many other Sekiro players feel these emotions too. And I'm so unbelievablely happy that through you first playthorugh I could feel it all again, like it was my first playthrough. And I'm also happy that you praise the game, its soundtracks and its boss fights because it not only shows how much you enjoy and appreciate this game and all the other games you played, but it also just feel so damn good to see someone else enjoy a game that you yourself love so damn much. I really am happy and I'm even more happy that you are happy, while making your community happy with your awesome content. It's so great to just see you, a funny guy on the internet play all these great games. You truly are amazing and please keep in mind that you are a great youtuber. I'm already excited for the next game and also more videos on Sekiro as you maybe replay it or do the gauntlets of strength. In the end it doesn't matter cause I'm excited nonetheless but if you want more drip (different appearances) or even cooler boss fights (=so much more pain) Sekiro is always there like your community. At the end I just wanna say thank you for your content and thank you for love and appreciation for the games we love. Also thanks to everyone who read or not read my comment, I wish you all a good morning, day, afternoon, evening or night and a lotta happiness.
Also Mati being the most relatable dude after dying to a hard boss and rethinking life choices while doing, 56:30 something xD
You've come a long way, my guy. Been watching since ER and waiting for this moment. I personally don't think FS has topped Isshin just yet, but finishing Sekiro is an accomplishment to be proud of. Congrats, man!
I still remember when you started playing bloodborne... and now here we are finishing Sekiro! just two more (demons souls and Armored Core) and the list will be complete!🎉
I’ve watched a few let’s plays of Sekiro and I can comfortably say that yours is my favourite! I loved seeing your journey and I’m so excited to see what comes next! And don’t forget… HESITATION IS DEFEAT
Hey Mati, been a huge fan of you since the irithyll dungeon episode and although i never finished sekiro, watching you play and improving felt like i was doing it too. I have covid rn and am stuck in bed and watching you struggle against Ishiin for an hour made it quite fun. Thank you for your content!
ColdSoup! bro thank you so much for the dono, wishing you the speediest recovery man all the best
IMO this is the best ending since it gives a more satisfactory conclusion than the other secret ending, even though it's technically worse. It's also the only scene where Sekiro clearly shows emotion.
You’re a genius Mati, you know that? At Death #5, you were already there after I died probably 50 times. This video would be the reason Miyazaki start brewing the next harder game! This fight did something to my brain for sure. I was clicking the buttons, in my head, the whole time while watching you fight Isshin. It’s actually crazy! Certified EPIC - the fight, the whole play-through!
You feel like a God in second playthrough. I still haven't found a game that reward of patience and skill feels so damn good. They caught lightning in a bottle, i don't think we will see another sekiro.
My man is a souls borne shadow pro gamer right now
This is for you king 👑
You are amazing Mati, its amazing how this game had such an impact on you and is nice you express that to us
Really proud that you pulled through! To be honest the game had me almost quit a few times. But man there's no other game like Sekiro. It's so tough, all you have to do is keep at it. Beating this game and seeing the ending is pure catharsis. Good shit Mati!
"I Hereby condemn the last immortal, may you live on and embrace what it means to be human."
My favourite ending in all of fromsoft.
Congratulations on beating this masterpiece Mati
Been a huge fan of the Souls series during the majority of my adult life. I've beaten every single game so far and I've enjoyed the journey. Being here and seeing you experiencing the very same things I did many years ago is so much fun. Good job beating the most difficult bosses in the Souls series. Great stuff, Mati!
congratulations! i hope to see you complete the gauntlets of strength and the other endings (they are fantastic)
the credits speech was a thing of beauty.
i think the purification ending is the best ending - it's the one i go for whenever i replay the game. there's something poetic about it - kuro getting to live out his life as a mortal human, sekiro making one last sacrifice for him. i know the ending with even more talking and eavesdropping steps is considered the "true" ending, but not for me.
Honored to be a part of this awesome community that you have built, and humbled by your kind words for us. Nothing but love and respect for you, GOAT status achieved. ❤
Appreciate you being here my dude I meant it
This was incredible Mati. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
Thank you for being a part of it chef
Congrats on beating the game. I usually always come late and i tend to commend after watching the video which results in my comments not being seen but now i'm commenting before watching it. I'm one of those peeps that watch every second of your videos, i never skip anything, and that is because you're awesome. I just wanted you to know how much i appreciate you bro, lol. Also, it would be nice if you did a reaction video on Sekirot Might Die A Lot animated parody by Matthew Shezmen. He also did parodies on Dark Souls 3 and you should definitely check those out too. Peace and stay rad. ✌
Real mvp for those recommendations. Meal worthy entertainment like Mati 🤘
52:04 when the boss is so scary you start dodging irl 😂😂
Honestly, this is one of the best ending reaction I've ever seen dude.
I'm so glad to see player who get impressed from Japnese video games as Japanese, it was so exciting journey thanks for showing us.
Congrats brother! I beat the game a few days ago. And I only picked it up because I saw your first Sekiro episode and got hooked! So thx for the inspiration 🎉 and for the fire content you share with everyone
I love how this boss was designed to be so difficult that the "simple" enemy FS chose to put before the real fight so you can recharge your resurrections is Genichiro himself 😆
No but seriously, speaking of Genichiro, unironically I love how he goes from being a wall at the beginning of the game, to a challenge in his fight in Ashina, and ends up being just a small obstacle at the end of the game, all thanks to your own improvement as a player. It's really a brilliant and beautiful design for a boss.
Amazing job Mati! Very well played! :)
Congratulations bro! You finished one of the most difficult games out there and the most important thing is that you enjoyed it so much!
Mati lets go! I'm at home after our youngest son got his tonsils out this morning and just so pumped to chill, watch you fight Isshin and end this masterpiece.
Your reaction to Isshin was priceless and worth the entire series.
Wishing your son a speedy recovery bro! Appreciate you being here
@@matiasgago absolutely man. I appreciate it. Amazing ending to the series. You crushed it. It becomes addicting to go back and just fight Isshin over and over again in reflection to get better at it. And other endings. So good.
I'll say the other big ending of Hollow Knight hits on this level too so I can't wait to see your reaction once you get there soon too.
Great job dude!!! Watching your journey from Elden Ring to now has been awesome. I love your enthusiasm for the challenging gameplay, lore, and overall experience. It gets me excited living vicariously through another. You're a bad ass Mati, thanks for letting us be part of your FromSoftware journey so far!
What an amazing journey its been. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!! While FromSoft is an amazing studio, there are plenty of other games out there that can give you the same feeling. Excited for whats coming up next!
Saludos desde Mexico!
Thank you so much for going on this journey. It was such a treat. You inspired me to pick it back up and I beat Isshin for the first time. Thank you. You rock, Mati. Keep being you. You getting emotional at the end was so great. You’re one of us.
Watching you beat Sekiro reminded me a LOT about my own experience. It was life changing, it was my first Fromsoft game and I'd never played a game that came close to its difficulty. But that taught me so much about myself and what I was capable of. It's honestly my favorite game by far. I've loved watching your playthrough and to see you share all of the suffering that we did lol
I hope you go for the other ending as well! There's a couple of bosses in the "bad" ending that are worth the experience. The gauntlets are great too
Legend. From how many attempts at the first Elden Ring boss to this.
Just.... Mind blowing dude. Congratulations.
And every episode full of your love of the games, purely.
Go out, celebrate. Take care dude. You've got where you are because... Your love of the games and your self depricating humour is a joy
Thank you. .
Well done, dude! I also just finished my first playthrough of Sekiro about a week ago. Seriously, such a masterfully made game. Sword Saint Isshin is the best final boss I've ever faced and one of my absolute favorites in From Soft games. It's been a ton of fun watching your playthrough and I'm glad to hear you've found something that you enjoy so much! Keep it up dude, you make some awesome content!
Yo Mati, I’ve watched every single episode you’ve put out playing From Soft games and man, what a ride indeed. Not gonna lie, I caught myself a little bit emotional by the end too. Thank you so much for sharing all these moments with us, you do it with heart and it shows! The passion you have truly ressonates with all of us, its like watching a good friend experiencing for the first time your favorite games and falling in love with them too (and man what a great feeling). I remember the first video I’ve watched of you playing DS1, and I even commented something like “this dude is truly living the Dark Souls experience”, and I can say it for every game you play and dedicates to creating content for the comummunity. Hope you can keep growing and sharing good moments with us!
"being emotional is good".. your sentence got me💔
So sad to see this one end but so proud of you! Thank you for sharing another incredibly fun and full of good vibes playthrough ❤
so sad but we shall continue im too in love with this game haha appreciate you being here
Now that you've completed the game (and killed father owl), if you do the evil ending, which you can access by serving the iron code when you meet owl again at Ashina Castle, you'll unlock a secret gauntlet of strength that will reward you with the sickest drip in all of Ashina.
If I were you, I'd probably start by doing the two gauntlets you have unlocked now, in order. You're eventually gonna fight Sword Saint Isshin again, and just to let you know, that giant whirlwind attack is something you can double jump goomba stomp for extra posture damage. I see that you usually have your finger on the movement button, which definitely makes things harder, especially for Isshin. You don't need to move your stick forward to do a mikiri for example, you just need to press O, and constantly moving makes those double jump goomba stomps a lot harder to perform.
Good luck in the gauntlets, shinobi
Best phase 1 music of the whole series... now let’s see that second owl dialogue option for the shura ending...
Since I discovered your channel back in the Elden Ring days, I have been waiting for this episode. Your love of videogames brings me back to a time when I loved videogames as much as you do, a time called, right now, cause I fucking love videogames . Getting to share that with you is a real joy. Hesitation is da feet.
What I love about this fight (and honestly most of the main bosses in this game) is that there isn’t any gimmicks or meter that you have to wait for them to get tired to hit them a few times then rinse and repeat over until you win. So many games do that and it sucks. But these fights actually feel like duels between highly skilled fighters, or sometimes massive creatures. All with unique moves and weaknesses you can exploit by recognizing patters and straight up just fighting them with your own skill. This final boss fight is up there with the greats, his second phase gave me such a problems I was almost stuck on him for like…2 days? But the moment I finally got to that last phase I didn’t let that opportunity slip and managed to finally kill him at like 12 o’clock at night. Was totally worth the satisfaction lol. This game desperately needs a sequel or a spiritual successor of some kind honestly.
So sad to see this chapter end but this is easily the best boss fromsoftware has ever created from story, to music, to arena and most importantly the combat… just wow so good
Imo armored cores story was a bit better, but yeah everything else for sure.
@@lileofficial4273probably I haven’t beaten it yet but it’s great so far
Idk about the music. While it was definitely epic especially the first part, the boss themes of DS3 and Bloodborne can't be easily disregarded like that imho. However I do think Isshin is From's best when it comes to a mechanical standpoint. There's definitely nothing to argue about right there.
@@lileofficial4273sekiro’s story is poetically better as it revolves around not you or a nameless being like the undead one, but rather WOLF, he is a character on his own. You’d truffle what he struggles, you beat what he beats, etc. it’s the perfect opposite from fromsoftware’s usual “main character” and it’s part of the reason why sekiro’s story is so masterfully done through its combat
@@jimmyj5703nah from a mech sucks standpoint inner father is superior, who is the final boss of the shura gauntlet. His mechanics are basically owl father on crack and he even used mist raven to keep you from getting too aggressive, it’s a masterfully designed fight. However I believe sword Saint is still better due to the fact that it has literally everything you’d need in a fight. Good music that isn’t distracting to what’s happening, masterful combat mechanics that is second only to probably one of the most mechanically well done bosses in video game history (inner father), the best arena in the entire game, and most importantly he has the CHARISMA of a top tier fromsoftware boss. He’s basically perfect since he does nothing wrong or has nothing wrong.
Mati, that final monologue you did was absouletly beautiful. We've watched you grow, and whilst I can't speak for every viewer obviously, I think many would agree we've grown too. Your videos are absolutely wonderful, and that's only possible because YOU'RE absouletly wonderful as a person. And the community that's been fostered here reflects that. Good vibes attract good vibes after all! You're very loved Mati!
Anyways, I got a lil too mushy there perhaps lol, no apologies though! Glad you loved Sekiro so much, it's soo unbelievably good, like you say, a masterpiece. And there's there much much more to see with it! Keep playing :D Thanks again dude, you rock! And all the cool peeps on this community too. This is just the start! ❤️🔥👍
This was a truly beautiful ride, I was so waiting for this one from you (the whole series was a delight, please keep going my man). Love Sekiro and love you! Been watching since Bloodborne and since then I've been watching every episode. These games are precious to me and I appreciate that you appreciate them :)
What is the hardest FromSoftware boss in your opinion? Mine was Orphan of Kos and then Isshin (the most epic fight ever) (Malenia is still waiting to kick my butt). If I'm not wrong, it took 32 times to defeat Orphan of Kos so I would assume it was that one, sliced into two episodes :D
I still haven't watched your Elden Ring series as I'm still venturing that one myself... I'm glad I have some backlog waiting for me when I'm done!
My personal favourite boss in the series. He is difficult and fun, testing everything you know and have learnt. Also my 2nd hardest boss in the series behind orphan...
Man am sad this series ended.. what a masterpiece, am glad you had fun with it mati as much as we did. I hope there will be other playthrough, maybe armored core series or baulder's gate :P
1:03:11 it took me 3 days to do Isshin hitless on NG+7 without Kuro's charm and with Bell Demon. One of the best feelings trust me.
Beating Isshin is definitely a WORTHY achievement in gaming. He's tough as hell, but fair; but more importantly, he's the culmination of a game full of amazing bosses. Next I'd recommend 100%'ng the game. There are some bosses you haven't seen yet. And they're challenging and great as well.
I just have to say that games that leave imprints in many people's lives don't come around often. I played this game back when it released and I come back from time to time, but i haven't spent nearly the hours or dedication to it that I've seen many places online. This game has a cult following, and it deserves it.... Just seeing that last cutscene reminds me of the amazing journey I had, and I never replay them anymore haven't watched them in forever, but just that last ending will leave me choked up every single time I see it. It reminded me of how good this story actually is if you're paying attention, and something I really admired about the way you spend your time with it Mati soaking up every piece of information you could. This game deserves it's Masterpiece rating.
My best moment !! 12:09 what a contagious smile 💚
Arguably best boss fromsoft has made
Him and gael are like 2 sides of the same coin
Nothing is more beautiful than games that make you cry.
"I wanna beat him fair and square, I dont want to use equipment".

Boss has Glock
To avoid taking damage, don’t get hit.
Been waiting for this day for over a year! Finally!! Always knew this game was a good fit for your play style and you didn’t disappoint. Congratulations for beating the Fromsoft game that separates the casuals from the committed. Parrying will never be an obstacle again in gaming.
DUUUUUUUDE A SWEAR U ARE SOO PURE AND AMAZING AS RUclipsR, I'M FOLLOWING LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS PLATFORM BUT UR ENERGY AND POSITIVITY!??!? ANOTHER LEVEL, AND PLEASE DO THE NEW GAME PLUS, YOU NEED TO WATCH SOME VIDEO ON RUclips ABOUT WHAT SEKIRO CAN DO IN THE NEW GAME PLUS....OOOH MY GOD!!
Thanks for this amazing journey
Can’t wait for the next one
So glad you finally got to experience one of the greatest bosses in all of gaming. Cant wait for the next playthrough, whatever it is.
You deserve it, Mati. You've been killing it and providing us with amazing content for the past year and a half. Extremely happy to see how much you enjoyed Sekiro! I recently replayed the main story on my PS5 copy and went through unlocking and beating all the gauntlets on my PC copy. I've always said my favorite is either Elden Ring or DS1, but Sekiro might have claimed that title recently. They're all masterpieces, though. Can't wait for the Q&A and your next series! I'll definitely be watching Armored Core!
Just did a playthrough following along with you. This was an awesome journey man. The emotional wave of defeating Isshin from being so happy to then sad that its over is something few games give.
Curious fact: if you listen carefully along ishin's cinematic you can hear how the voice changes from old to younger.. he is rejuvenating!!
Out of all the endings this one and the dragons homecoming endings are my favorite
I have been rooting for Sekiro since you've finished Bloodborne, because to me these two are the absolute best. I'm glad you enjoyed it too much, and I'm very happy to have heard your little speech during the credits.
Glad to have stumbled on your channel when I was finishing Elden Ring and found your Malenia video. Been following ever since and I'm glad I did, it's awesome to see you discover these games and enjoy them so much!!
Now do all the Gauntlets of Strength, hesitation is defeat, all that. Well done will all that!!
Cheers
Also, please to a live stream one day 😊
Overcoming your hesitation to achieve things that you want in life is what makes us happy and you did just that. Not only defeating Sword Saint Isshin but also defeating your own nightmares that society creates for us. Those last words hit so close to heart for me as it reminded me of achieving my own dreams as well. Love to see your videos and I hope you keep growing and keep new content coming as well. Peace
