I always ended up missing Isshin on the counter hit though, since he was too far away. But I see you can do a charged stabby at him, that would've helped a lot if I knew that earlier
@@lukaravlic9398 I'll say. I just reached this boss today; I finally discovered the Mist Raven after never using it ever, and I thought the "thing" was to use it on the red attacks that tend to have short tells. Knowing it works on that big lightning blast makes me think I want to start learning the Mist Raven properly.
Man, i love this game. I love the little details and the animations. How even when perfectly deflecting a strong attack it still forces Sekiro back and he braces himself. I love the sound design, the clang and sparks as the blades clash. No DLC/10
@bladelores if you read the article again and look at the pic closely he states he’s wrong and THAT the area is clearly the delapitated temple thanks for getting my hopes up ;-;
@@zexieyakachanningtaintyum4468 Look closer, it is the dilapidated temple but it looks different, the bridge on the left isn't destroyed, the idol placement is changed, etc. But the news isn't about the image, as much as the tweet. The account that posted it is almost completely dormant, so it would be random to post something like this without wanting people to speculate.
I like how no one is talking about how he waits for Isshin to get back up after every Lightning Reversal. He could attack him but he just waits there like "Take your time, I got no where to be." Now that's next level Badass
It’s a testament to how well this game tests you on its mechanics when Genichiro, the guy you fight three times before Isshin, goes from being a daunting and intimidating foe to one you dispatch in less than a minute before fighting his old man. He’s nothing to you by the end game. Just another obstacle in your way.
Imagine beeing a sword/spear master who's trained his whole life in combat , now summoned back by his own grandson by sacrificing himself to restore their kingdom. And RIGHT after you come back you throw everything you have at this one shinobi, who just deflects all your attacks like they are nothing. Talk about a having a bad day.
@@derkaffeenator9172 I think he wanted a good fight, not somebody that outclasses him this hard. it's like season 1 of 1 punch man. Prophecies are bullshit.
AdumbroDeus nah it’s about finally finding someone that can match him. Guy lived his whole life as the number 1 sword master. He got only challenged by that one guy at the beginning of the cinematic, but he was relatively young at that time, and it would be quite questionable to expect him not to become better after all those years. Nah he just wanted to see if there is someone that can challenge him, and actually defeat him. He believed Sekiro was that, and if it wouldn’t have been the case, oh well then why not honour his G-son and defeat the Ministerium. After all they only attacked once he was old and way out of his prime.
I like the way you sometimes stood doing nothing and looking at the guy. It looks like you were bored and checked if this dude had something new to show.
Whenever isshin does the leaping slam with the spear, wolf literally just sits there like nothing is happening. I have never seen such an intense fight look like it genuinely bored the player. I've beaten him without resurrecting a few times but this is insane.
2 tricks not explicitly told in the game: 1) You can reverse lightning using the Mist Raven (as shown here). Requirement is, you teleport in the air and not behind or on the flanks of the enemy (cause then you re grounded). 2) You can poison yourself, which allows for free use of the Mist Raven since you are constantly taking damage. It's essentially short range teleportation.
With Ishiin he only does sweeps in his first phase I think. And there its easy to tell the difference. With lunges he's takes a sec and pulls back his arm. With sweeps it's all of a sudden like WTF he's doing a perilous. Plus he only does it after a initial unsheathinh attack. Either way you can just jump back and guard.
@@shadebinder9969 Also there are certain combos where he only does a thrust. There is only one combo where he can choose between a sweep or a thrust, its usually better to just back away from that one.
the window is actually pretty huge. The animation is also helping you to decide which attack he's gonna do. Tekken grabs however are hard to get out of and pro players can break it consistently
More than that, he was using mist raven to neglect the cheap damage he would get if trying to catch lightning mid jump, this way he trully beat him harmless.
@@lowkeyotaku2373 actually they made it easier in a patch iirc. Be that as it may, my original point still stands. It's the camera that fucks you not the bull itself.
The raging bull is a bitch of a fight with bad camera, unrealistic hitboxes and in the first playthrough just not very fun. Isshin is a well choreograpied, epic, 3- Phase Showdown wich tests all of your skills. It don't matters dying to the bull.
I love how the remnant, that you get after defeating him, straight up tells you that you defeated Isshin in his prime form. Gives you that kind of special feeling that you truly bested him when he gave this battle his all. Something rather rare for Fromsoft Bosses.
@@TheLordOfHell12 I didn't know either, I don't like beating FromSoftware titles with external help, so sorry for not realizing while actually playing the game
@@NicolaSnake98 Not external help. I didn't knew in my first playthroughs aswell, and i didn't said that not knowing is something that you should feel sorry about.
Well 99 atk is definiately recommended for it, I mean this is literally the hardest version of this game - it can't get anh harder than this. It's not only ng+7 but also with demon's bell activated and without kuro's charm.
This video is a better guide on how to defeat him than actual video guides. Fantastic work man, I'll definitely use this as my reference to see if I can finally beat him.
@@TheTRAP015 Not after the patch. In the old versions it is possible to keep him in this first form after the first deathblow by keeping to attack him aggressively so he won´t draw the spear. You could also cheese him by keeping mid distance to him so that he proceeds to just attacking in two different patterns. Fromsoft fixed both cases with recent patches. In current versions you (luckily) have to fight him fair and square.
_kqcper_ I think it is easier to beat him the intended way than the way you suggest. Also afaik they also reduced his jump attack in its frequency so it takes a very long time to beat him your way which includes a larger number of possible mistakes. Just beat him as it Is supposed to be.
@@FelixS. yeah I know and I did beat him normally but some people find it easier because you don't need to learn his moveset, nust wait for one attack and that's all
Beating this game is OK. I just picked up this game 2-3 days ago. Because I just returned I started a new save without any added difficulties. To my surprise I beat most of the bosses within 3 attempts, a lot of which I beat on first attempt, only because I already have the knowledge of this game. However, when I continued my previous save, which stopped right before Sword Saint Isshin, but in NG+ and charmless, and the demon bell debuff. This took me almost a day to beat this boss. The base game is OK. Returning the charm and the demon bell together give a massive difficulty increase.
All memes aside, can we all just agree that both Genichiro and Isshin accept defeat in the most badass way possible? Genichiro is so understanding of his weakness, even after pursuing heretical arts in the name of the Ashina clan, that he chooses to sacrifice himself to bring back the only one he believes that will bring it back from the ashes. Meanwhile, when at death's door by our hands, in true "all-bets-are-off" combat, Isshin tells us to kill him, after composing himself and essentially keeping himself awake long enough to die honorably, in a seiza sitting stance.
I must say,even though this is just a boss fight with no damage and on ng 7 I think this could help a lot of players trying to beat this boss because a 4 phase boss is a ton of bullshit and very difficult but what this helped me realize that don’t try to hit just deflect and that’s what I think a lot of players make that mistake but thank you for this video.
Once you learn his moves, he is way too easy. I thought owl(father) was gonna be tough because ppl made it feel like he is too tough. It took me just 10 tries to figures out his moves and beat him on 11th. Genichiro was way way harder than him. Lol. I almost beat owl father with no damage in the last try. I felt like I owned that son of a bitch.😂
Semi-automatic pistols were first invented in 1893. Sekiro takes place somewhere in the 1500's. So in a time where people only used single-fire barrel-loaded matchlock rifles, WHY DOES ISSHIN HAVE A GUN THAT FIRES FIVE TIMES IN A ROW?!?!
Keep in mind: No charm means Chip Damage from all imperfect deflects. But this fight is no damage. HE BLOCKED EVERYTHING. PERFECTLY. I played through this game 5 times and I still couldn't do this.
You said chip damage but this is new game +7 so that chip damage can take half your health. So in this fight, 2 or 3 imperfect deflect and you dead. Knowing that make it even more incredible that he deflect it all.
The little details the game has is amazing its definitely one of my favorite all time games. The fact of the end battle being where you lost against Genichiro makes it much more epic.
I love how sekiro just stands there when theres no player input. Like how in the other souls games the characters have some form of battle stance, like they're awaiting the attack to react. Not sekiro, my man just stands there casually
Love how at the end you clearly have totally and utterly mastered this fight, nothing Isshin could do would stop you and your character was barely moving to stop his attacks, you made a hard fight look absolutely easy. Awesome.
THIS is what I'm talking about. Every Isshin guide on the internet is like "This is how you do it!" *regular blocks, gets hit more than once anyway, and uses tactics that literally guarantee a free hit for Isshin* It's nice to see someone actually handling the problems that arise in these tactics. With Demon Bell and Kuro's Charm surrendered, regular block isn't an option, and once you get to New Game +4 or so, every hit is almost a one-shot, so you need to actually find the holes in Isshin's gameplay. Thank you for this. Also HOLY SHIT YOU CAN LIGHTNING POST MIST RAVEN?!
In this vid, pretty awesome that when you beat him, the animation played out to make him face the cliff-edge. He stares at Ashina in flames as you kill him, knowing he was defeated. Epic!
I love the ending. I got a similar with him charging his air sweep strike. Deflecting that is so cool since it looks like actually cut through air and then you stand in the perfect position for a kill
Just played and finished this fight yesterday (first playthrough) Damn it felt so good! Going back to that same battlefield at the beginning of the game, the atmosphere, the rain, wind, and music picking up throughout the phases, lightning striking, and that sexy sound of weapons clashing throughout the whole thing! Even though I died a few times on Genichiro and little over 10 times on Isshin, it was always so damn satisfying to just play When I beat him I popped off, shouted in excitement, and started stomping the ground a bit, a combination of happiness that I did it, and that I experienced something as satisfying as this battle Probably the most fun I’ve ever had with a boss fight in any game I wish this game had a boss rematch mode or something so I could do this fight again and again as many times as I want without having to go through the whole game again Like, just watching this video makes me sad that I can’t just replay this fight again right now lol But either way, it happened and I loved it. Thanks, game
I just wish there was an option that unlocks after YOU BEAT ALL THE BOSSES IN THE GAME, that allows you to just re fight a boss of your choosing. I would fight isshin and the demon of hatred all day instead of playing the game over again just to fight them. I love this game. I just wanna fight bosses all day man
@The Guy it's not a mode, it's a mod. You have to download it and it lets you fight every boss in the game directly from the mod. I strongly suggest not using it until you beat the game normally, because there are spoilers and because it changes the intended experience
This video is the best proof: Sekiro is the most satisfying Souls Like Game if you master it. Regular Parry, Jump Kick and the bad ass Mikiri Counter. If the free flow is reached, the game starts making fun again, only this time on a total different scale xD Just downloaded it again, man this game is a masterpiece!
Isshin is the best final boss FromSoftware ever created. Not only gameplaywise, but also because of the atmosphere. This dude is so badass he even orders you around after you defeat him (do it!!!). Well done, Sekiro.
Fromsoft should have seriously added an additional line of dialogue for this. This requires beyond serious commitment. Just getting to NG+7 is one. This, this is on another level. Or maybe a congratulations screen after the credits.
Nice to see sekiro do this cause isshin also did a no damage against me

The timing is not all that hard but the camera and the fucking grasses man...
Exactly what i thought
All memes aside, can we all just agree that both Genichiro and Isshin accept defeat in the most badass way possible?
Genichiro is so understanding of his weakness, even after pursuing heretical arts in the name of the Ashina clan, that he chooses to sacrifice himself to bring back the only one he believes that will bring it back from the ashes.
Meanwhile, when at death's door by our hands, in true "all-bets-are-off" combat, Isshin tells us to kill him, after composing himself and essentially keeping himself awake long enough to die honorably, in a seiza sitting stance.

This game isn’t based on reality, after all you can teleport, heal within a second, become a Mist Raven for a few seconds.
Why are you asking why he has a gun when you fight against different kinds of creatures throughout the game

My fight with Isshin didn't exactly go like this
The future is now old man
2:20 Fave attack and the most satisfying when deflected, kinda like Genichiro's helicopter thing.
Every time i hear the "Maeru, Sekiro
" i got the chills
Game of The Year
2019.✌
The little details the game has is amazing its definitely one of my favorite all time games. The fact of the end battle being where you lost against Genichiro makes it much more epic.
Gosh this game really needs a DLC.
Sekiro: "What are you doing with a gun in here anyway?"
Isshin: "Don't you worry about my gun Ricky"
I see you didn’t hesitate.
This was one of the best games i ever played. Hopefully a second part in the future.
I love how sekiro just stands there when theres no player input.
Like how in the other souls games the characters have some form of battle stance, like they're awaiting the attack to react. Not sekiro, my man just stands there casually
Love how at the end you clearly have totally and utterly mastered this fight, nothing Isshin could do would stop you and your character was barely moving to stop his attacks, you made a hard fight look absolutely easy. Awesome.
I think this is the best boss they’ve ever made. Every boss in this game is so amazing.
THIS is what I'm talking about. Every Isshin guide on the internet is like "This is how you do it!" *regular blocks, gets hit more than once anyway, and uses tactics that literally guarantee a free hit for Isshin*
It's nice to see someone actually handling the problems that arise in these tactics. With Demon Bell and Kuro's Charm surrendered, regular block isn't an option, and once you get to New Game +4 or so, every hit is almost a one-shot, so you need to actually find the holes in Isshin's gameplay. Thank you for this. Also HOLY SHIT YOU CAN LIGHTNING POST MIST RAVEN?!
That sound made by isshin just before he accept defeat is 🔥🔥🔥5:10
In this vid, pretty awesome that when you beat him, the animation played out to make him face the cliff-edge. He stares at Ashina in flames as you kill him, knowing he was defeated. Epic!
I love the ending. I got a similar with him charging his air sweep strike. Deflecting that is so cool since it looks like actually cut through air and then you stand in the perfect position for a kill
It should be illegal to be this talented
This man is a wind and lightening style user... definetly jounin level
Aahhh i see you are a master in deflecting attacks
*subbed*
Miyazaki: "Posture...working as intended..."
This fight is so damn fun man. The whole game is. Nothing beats the feeling of overcoming a difficult challenge.
Just played and finished this fight yesterday (first playthrough)
Damn it felt so good!
Going back to that same battlefield at the beginning of the game, the atmosphere, the rain, wind, and music picking up throughout the phases, lightning striking, and that sexy sound of weapons clashing throughout the whole thing!
Even though I died a few times on Genichiro and little over 10 times on Isshin, it was always so damn satisfying to just play
When I beat him I popped off, shouted in excitement, and started stomping the ground a bit, a combination of happiness that I did it, and that I experienced something as satisfying as this battle
Probably the most fun I’ve ever had with a boss fight in any game
I wish this game had a boss rematch mode or something so I could do this fight again and again as many times as I want without having to go through the whole game again
Like, just watching this video makes me sad that I can’t just replay this fight again right now lol
But either way, it happened and I loved it. Thanks, game
Clenched when you missed that one mikiri. I almost never see follow up to that thrust but when i do, it's always stressful AF.
Sekiro: "Come, isshin!"
No hesitation = No defeat
I just wish there was an option that unlocks after YOU BEAT ALL THE BOSSES IN THE GAME, that allows you to just re fight a boss of your choosing. I would fight isshin and the demon of hatred all day instead of playing the game over again just to fight them. I love this game. I just wanna fight bosses all day man
There is the Boss Rush Mod that's made exactly for that purpose
@@federicorios1140 but I dont have it on pc I have it on ps4 :(
@The Guy it's not a mode, it's a mod. You have to download it and it lets you fight every boss in the game directly from the mod. I strongly suggest not using it until you beat the game normally, because there are spoilers and because it changes the intended experience
They're doing it, a boss rush mode is coming some time in August, October!
@@federicorios1140 thanks! Now i can enjoy fighting the same bosses again! >:)
Your timing on deflection is amazing. I want to get that good on this game. Bravo
Isshin : *comes back from the underworld to defeat the interior ministry and save the Ashina*
Also Isshin : *sees wolf* Aight , Imma head back
sekiro knows the power of friend ship and unlocks his shonen powers ahhahaa
Hesitation is defeat.Remember that,Isshin
This video is the best proof: Sekiro is the most satisfying Souls Like Game if you master it. Regular Parry, Jump Kick and the bad ass Mikiri Counter. If the free flow is reached, the game starts making fun again, only this time on a total different scale xD Just downloaded it again, man this game is a masterpiece!
Wait
He's using raven to counter Lightning?
Holy mamamia
Isshin: sword saint
Also Isshin: *Gun.*
Wow...incredible that you managed to perfect deflect all those strikes. Congrats!!
The lightning section is honestly my favorite part due to the lightning reversal because of how cool it looks
Ridiculously good, such focus 🙏
Isshin is the best final boss FromSoftware ever created. Not only gameplaywise, but also because of the atmosphere. This dude is so badass he even orders you around after you defeat him (do it!!!). Well done, Sekiro.
I am *very* impressed you managed to force your way out of that corner he pinned you into around 2:20. Quick thinking, my friend.
Incredible.
I have countless hours in this game, enough to platinum 3-4 times over and still nowhere near this display of pure perfection.
Elden Ring spoilers
Lol how the hell did we go from arguably the best final boss FS has ever made to Elden Beast.
Radagon still Is One of the best final bosses that fromsoftware made
Btw nice Pic lmao
Fromsoft should have seriously added an additional line of dialogue for this. This requires beyond serious commitment. Just getting to NG+7 is one. This, this is on another level. Or maybe a congratulations screen after the credits.
