I should have mentioned in the video: sparing bosses is easier done once you're experienced with the fight and once you can quickly repeat the run to the boss via shortcut if you screw it up, so I recommend waiting to spare bosses in your second run through of game.
@@cloudshifter you can.
@@cloudshifter nobody ever tried, but if you delete your save data or just start the game on a fresh account, the option is there, just nobody thinks to do it because 99% of people will hit the button prompts to just finish the boss fight as soon as it shows up
@@cloudshifter thats literally the only way to get the spare option to show up is to destroy their structure on phase 2, wait for them to recover, then destroy it again, that's exactly how the spare mechanic works
The first boss is easy, i didnt even die on my first try
@@cloudshifter not sure which part you got confused on but I'll just say I did tell you the first time simply by saying "you can".
These bosses have killed me and taunted me countless times... I spare no one.
😂
Magic coin pendant: but no thats against wulin principle reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
GigaChad
Then why are you here
@@themidnighttrain3045 Because I feel like it.
Crazy how much easier the bosses seemed the second time around. Even with sparing them. This game does a great job of making you learn the game. Don’t think the experience would be the same if I didn’t go through all the struggling and frustration of my first playthrough. Great game. Goaty so far. But that can most likely change lol
Yep, that's so true. Skill Up nailed it with the "wax on, wax off" analogy of going through repetition to eventually master it. Pretty cool!
I nailed boss 1 and 2 now, but I gotta say that 3 still kick my ass more than she should then 4 is a cake walk 😅
@@DieSama95 the third one phase one is the hardest, I need to learn her attack patterns when she hits high or low. I'm better now but she still kicks my ass a couple times. Yang the last boss does a lot of damage, but has easy attack patterns.
@@gamingman21 Today I got platinum trophy, wasn't that hard in the end 😅
@@DieSama95 I'm still trying. Good job man. Wish me luck!
The hardest part of my second play through is to not accidentally kill then when their health gets low.
Max out parry impact, it's by far the easiest way.
@@fuzzybearbarian what about when ur fighting kuroki? Or Sean even. I tried so hard with those two and keep killing them🥵
factssss
I gained muscle memory by looking at the red icon to press both buttons for the finisher and I instant press them lol Have to reset a couple of runs because a keep killing them instantly
@@jakob31448 kuroki combo attack when dashing to the character. dodge that dash and she will attack, standard parry won't take damage but if it's new you should parry the 2nd hit and the last kick. because these 2 attacks are using legs. Sean is simpler, just block. If the bar is almost full, switch to dodge and relax to drop. Note that when fighting Kuroki, you should limit your attack when she does combos, because when attacking she will fly away and not perform the final kick.
Quick, straight to the point, explanatory, and helpful. Very excellent video here.
Thanks!
When you play this at first you want to destroy the bosses not just because of the story, but also because of how hard the game is.
At some point you get so good at the game you want to spare them, because you almost pity them.
Cringe
@@matthewcrane5294 it's true though, the first playthrough it's better off killing them, you don't want to risk any qges
That's wude!
It’s so hard to not end up killing them because I’m so used to dodging some of those faster attacks. It’s crazy how different I play this game compared to how I first started. It feels amazing and I bought this game with the goal I was going to do everything to master it.
Didn’t even realize this was an option! Thank you!
Glad to help, cheers!
Secret mechanics like this are always super fun to learn about. If you could do a guide to all 5 bosses, that'd be cool. Bc most of the time I accidentally kill them before I can even break their structure at all lol
I've posted guides to the bosses and I'll finish posting videos on sparing them today. I haven't narrated the videos on sparing them as they're basically the exact same strategy with only a little exception which will be pretty obvious in the videos where I spare them. Basically upgrade structure regain/structure reserve/parry impact as your game upgrade priorities, then parry and only use light attacks on bosses to end up being able to spare them. Same approach to every fight just about.
Wow.....that deep for the game to do. They did a amazing job of setting the story and having you to have your revenge.....and you stick to it. Its a nice message that tells that revenge can blind anyone to hatred. This games is amazing in its gameplay and theme.
Yeah it’s funny when you think about how he can spare bosses but *has* tokill certain enemies Lmfao
I always hated the whole "revenge is bad" cliche. It's over used and not everyone who seeks revenge feels regret and hatred after the seek it. Watch Dogs is a perfect example of this, at the end of the game the protagonist says "I'm supposed to feel empty, but I don't, I feel like I can breathe again". I get what Sifu was going for, but I'm only sparing the bosses once for the trophies, after that I'm gonna kill them everytime.
Also it's pretty stupid how you can spare the people that plotter against and kill your father, yet you kill random guards that had nothing to do with it. Another example of why the whole "rEvEnGe BaD" cliche is stupid.
@@vengeance1450 Right, because The Batman was all about how vengeance is great.
@@vengeance1450 right! This is why I’m glad Sleeping Dogs leaned into it
It would be cool if after sparing the bosses you just see them at your place chilling or sparring with each other or something, imagine the witty banter.
Yes, witty banter with the mute who took part in Fathers death would be interesting.👍
Hiroki, probably.
I don’t think it’d make sense to suddenly be buddy-buddy with the guys who killed your father.
Joss Whedon and the MCU and it’s consequences.
Bro, thank you. If it wasn't for you, the first stage would have ended so bad. You have be the first and only youtuber that has been helpful
Thanks mate, I appreciate that. 👍
I was tryna do this on my rerun of the first level and ended up killing him again on accident. Now that I know the process I’ll try it again later. This game is actually so good
I won’t kill you, I have forgiven you
Boss: what about those people you just tossed down the stairwell?!
I’m not patient enough to break all their guard meters twice
Lol. And that there is why sparing in Sifu doesn't make any sense. 🤷♂
What about the people u used a sword on??
Solid video brother. Explained this mechanic better than so many others 👏🏽👏🏽
Cheers!
I...didn't know there was a weapon in that second phase arena.😩
Anyway, I saw the spare option in an article and watched your video on it. Great job.
I aspire to do as well a job with Kuroki. Eventually.😤
Thanks for the clip.👍👍👏
bro appriecate this vid a ton
Thanks mate, appreciate the comment too.
So you can spare the boss actually, nice, gonna try that on my 2nd playthrough
same here bro
Murders hundreds of people who had nothing to do with it.
Spare the murderes of his family.
The message gets lost with this kind of logic.
Perhaps the best game i've played in 2022 yet, until Elden Ring comes around i guess. Still, this game is just fantastic.
Agreed!
For real . Has keep me entertained until horizon comes out . Also we just got the patch for ps5 so there is that. Elder ring looks interesting even tho I have never been a fan of dark souls so maybe I will try it out.
I purchased the games few weeks ago. It has so many layers of gameplay, branching paths, etc. I didn't know you could spare bosses. It never crossed my mind since it's a game about revenge. Thank you for the tips!
If you run right at the start you can avoid having to block to get the stick
My game doesn’t even pop up to spare them, so I can’t spare them anyway
Thanks for this I was trying to figure this out. Makes sense you have to break them twice seems like main character was debating on killing them or not. Liked 👍 .
Cheers!
It also sends the message to the opponent that they could have killed them twice over already, but chose not to, so what's to say it won't happen a third time? It gives the boss an incentive to accept defeat instead of continuing to fight.
@@Kyran1996 good point.
Damn I didn’t even know there was an option to spare these guys. I get so frustrated by the time I beat them that I just jump to end it.
Ahhh so u need a weapon to stun him because I beat him up bare handed and I couldn’t get his structure to break
Perfect parries even without a weapon will do more structure damage, but you'll also take chip damage. You'll also have to perfectly parry him every time, which is a tall order. Just use the weapons, they're all over the place in this fight.
The thought of breaking Yangs structure twice in phase two... I barely did it once.
that was pretty badass
To be honest sparing a boss is the honorable path. Vengeance isn't the answer
Way more impactful to spare them definitely got his point across showed them hes not only a superior fighter also morally superior
Level 1: easy :)
Level 2: impossible 💀
Omg everytime I try to spare a boss, i keep just killing them like i keep forgetting
This was really helpful in my spare run thank you
Glad to hear it, cheers!
I’m so glad I found this video. I found an article saying the spare would fail if you punched the boss even once so I spared all of them through parry only. Thankfully I found this by the time I got to Yang.
Yep, that article got it wrong. I've also seen articles saying you can't spare bosses unless you beat the whole game first. Lots of incorrect info out there.
@@fuzzybearbarian thank you for clarify that the spare mechanics, I thought I have to beat the whole game before sparing the boss
@@ddr80 Happy to help out, thanks for the comment.
Read the same article and almost actually did it.
Managed to get 3 bosses just with parry, but for some reason the spare option didn't pop up with the 4 boss(CEO) so I looked up for a guide I saw you could actually hit them. I spent like 15 minutes parrying her crap for nothing lol
@@tarnishedpose On the bright side you're now a parry god! 😉👍
I’ve tried 5 times on the first boss flawlessly and it won’t give me the spare button and idea why
I don't know what im doing wrong but im on the last boss Yang but I don't get the spare prompt
You can't spare Yang if you haven't spared all the previous bosses.
It’s also worth noting that he used the EASIEST boss to spare. Everyone after him is tougher to spare than the first.
I posted videos on sparing ALL the bosses:

And here's a skills video just because it's more fun: ruclips.net/video/WLGND8FLY1Q/видео.html
No matter how mane times i got handled by them
I always spared
I think the only time i killed a boss was the first one because i didn't know i could spare
Our character is supposed to represent the Yin (atleast that's how i view it), while Yang represents the Yang (oh you don't say it), in evil, there's still good (our character sparing the bosses) and in good there's still evil (Yang killing his sifu and stealing the techniques from the dojo and using it to help people)
THANKS!! I've completed this multiple times and could never figure out how to do this.. excellent explanation.
wow that is such a nice touch to this game , makes me appreciate the work that went into the game even more
i hope i wasnt the only one that only dodged through the whole story. i didnt block at all i just dodged everything had me feeling like mike tyson.
I'm doing the same right now 😅 works better
Literally my biggest mistake in the game
Thanks for the guide I knew sparring the bosses was a thing just didn’t know how to do it
You're welcome, cheers!
bro in my case spare icon is not showing which key should i press for spare in keyboard
For people that still don’t know the whole point, In order to show mercy, you have to break the bosses structure 2 times. But the reason why you need to parry is because you cannot cause too much damage or else the boss will probably die. leaving you with no option but to kill.
Low key the best Sifu tutorial I’ve come across!!! 🔥🔥🔥
When I block with the stick the stunt bar does not increase. Some help?
Time your block with the attack rather than holding block. Make sure you have have parry impact upgraded (I show the best upgrade path in this video here: ruclips.net/video/LlMFWJuVUtU/видео.html)
I struggled keeping him alive WAAY too much 😅
Damn be it’s just so natural to do a takedown that when I did this I pressed takedown instead of spare twice 😂
Yeah, that's one of the hardest parts of sparing imo 🤣😂
Kill 1000 henchmen spare the boss. Sifu logic.
U dunno if the henchman are dead. They could just have 100 broken bones
@@Nebularban bro if you're using a bladed weapon you literally stab them several times
@@mae_critt Maybe it one of those blades that only break bones and instantly stitch slashes
Tried and it doesn’t work on your first place through
It didnt give me the option to spare the boss, its my first playthrough
it's*
Man I look to youtube for help on games all the time. This was by far the least frustrated demonstration I've seen lol thank you sir
Bro I want to spare this guy but he keeps dying. Tried this like 10 tomes in a row. Last time I managed to soare him cuz I just tickle him everytime I punish. Otherwise his health keeps getting low faster than his stagger.
You can make it easier by prioritizing parry impact at the statues along the way. But you'll have to max out your score. Got a video on that if it helps: ruclips.net/video/5rBOfevtFeQ/видео.html
what year is it? 2024 or 2006? Why does this game have a scuffed moral choice system
Thanks, pal. im so happy i found ur channel. Museum boss was doing my head in. Subscribed, Safe m8
Cheers!
Thank you... Time to spare some lives!
thanks man i realised i took out his whole health wasnt parrying enough 👍
No way in hell I’m sparing Kuroki. That fight was infuriating. I’m choosing violence.
I’m a dip I went threw the whole first level fine and it’s my first time playing I get to the boss and I got his bar full get to the next part I’m like ok bet what do I do I look up this video watch it get his bar full leave him do it again and accidentally killed him over sparing him I clicked both at the same time when my dumbass only meant to hit the spare 😭 it was only 44 mins but still sucks so I’m restarting 🤣
It literally doesn’t work to spare them, fr nothing is happening
SO. UR REALLY TELLING ME THAT AFTER I PLAYED THE WHOLE GAME I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THAT TO GET THE GOOD ENDING U HAVE TO SPARE THEM ? WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I DIDNT KNOW THAT I THOUGHT U HAVE TO KILL THE BOSS IN ORDER TO COMPLETE WHY BRO WHYY NOW I HAVE TO RESTART THE WHOLE GAME
That's crazy I had no clue I can spare people
Lol my plan was to kill everyone and spare Yang because it gives me a cooler outfit. Didn’t realize I gotta spare everyone else.
this game is literally harder than dark souls...
I'm literally age 46 on second mission...
Yeah, I felt the same way in the beginning.
The second level is the hardest level in the game. Everything else is way easier after that.
I find the flowing claw to be absolutely broken. Literally just spam that and it'll dodge attacks while setting up a combo that eats their poise. There have even been instances where I beat them before their structure even breaks
Every time I've tried to spare a boss it doesn't work. I damage more health than structure. I dodge all their moves, I don't even block
I have a question, i killed them all in a run if i try to spare Yang can i do it? cause im not getting the spare option on the second stun.
Or do i need to do a full run doing spare on every boss?
You have to spare all of them then Yang
I needed around 50 tries to beat Yang the first time. Now it became relativelly easy.
thx bro.
Bro I just found about this last night as far as sparing the bosses. I'm glad I saw your video so now I can do it. Thanks a ton for this man! 🤟🏾
Vid helped a lot thank you
I was going for Dark Side without knowing? xD
I keep damaging him to much to get the second break 😒
So If I die will I still be able to spare him or no cause I thought you had to not die and that’s how u spare
I didn't realize his structure had to go before his health. I was kicking his butt to quickly lol
@@markymarc12 too*
That will be an even bigger challenge than just killing him, I accept the challenge. I have a question, I'm looking to unlock outfits but I don't see the goal board. Ya tengo descargado el deluxe pero no aparece
I have to beat there first stage fair right no cheats? Cs I accidentally used the free takedown
i need help to spare sean, i literally cannot, his defense is so weak and he loses so much health, the prompt doesnt even show
I kept doing the triangle and x because I thought that would spare him not kill him
Spare? Pfft. Mercy is for the weak!
I figured out that on student difficulty its like not possible to spare bosses because they have less health.
Bosses can be spared on all difficulties. If you're struggling, do it with a weapon (never attack, just block/parry).
There is no good ending, either they reap what they sow at the cost of your soul, or they live and continue to commit to evil. The “good” ending is Disney fiddle faddle.
i just cant get of the opponent structure to move is my game bugged or something?
There is no fckin prompt for me. There was on my first playthrough everytime i broke a bosses structure. Now on my second playthru i can get all the way thru fajar and sean eithout raking a hit but theres no prompt. It just auto triggers. What am i doing wrong
Either something buggy is happening or you're breaking their health at the same time. Otherwise make sure you're looking at them and close enough. Too far away and the prompt won't show (it's a bit like the focus thing, if you're not angled correctly you won't get the choice).
I am fighting for my life with these guys guys I literally don't even get the opportunity to spare them bc I'm not good enough
My game must be bugged because even if i get the spare option it just kills them anyway, ive mashed the button, held the button, calmly pressed the button, it never works. Im playing on Switch so im not sure if its input lag from the controller or not but its pretty fucking bullshit that i cant complete the game even though im doing what youre supposed to do.
I think i just realized what to do.
Thank you for explaining this! Definitely liked and subbed! Cheers
Thanks mate!
Thanks a lot for the info~
I just felt something wrong and incomplete for the 1st Playthrough.....
Better to go spare via shortcuts as it's easy to screw it up, rather than try to do it in the first playthrough.
took me 5 tries to get to spare fajar cuz he loses hp faster than his structure breaks
this was fun. just watching someone who understood the game so well. amazing stuff.
Thanks. You might really like this one then, which is my favorite of all my sifu videos: ruclips.net/video/WLGND8FLY1Q/видео.html
The first time I fought the boss he killed the second time I was age 75 but after lowering it to age 32 I went through the rest of the game and when I went back to reduce my age again because I was struggling he was much much easier that I beat the whole level deathless the game nailed progressive learning as at the start you just block and take the damage to your structure but after that the only way you will survive is by learning to parry and dodge attacks which in my opinion is so satisfying when you dodge the flury of attacks from the boss
When i fight fajar i dont block his attack i dodge it also for sean :)
Why would I spared them? They killed my father!!!!!!!
This would be very useful if I could actually beat a single boss.
That being said
Really cool this is an option and thanks for sharing !
@@roundboxfitness3588 keep playing, you’ll eventually get way better. I remember getting mad whenever I’d get taunted and I would lose. But I kept playing and now I beat them all.
@@bradpitt839 thanks homie . Slowly getting better . Barely beat the 4th level . So going back to level 2 to see if I can make it through in my 30’s or so .
does every boss have 2 phases?... just so i know if it okay to takedown the first fight lol
Ty so much! :)
Cheers!
If i want the wude skin should I spare all bosses before??
Legit sped run through this 3 fucking times and I never get an option
underrated video
