How to reduce the difficulty game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

"Should Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice's difficulty be reduced?" - This is a question that is being asked by some players after experiencing this vengeful ninja action game with the developer FromSoftware. 

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

However, according to the professional gamers as well as the opinions of experts, the game is made to challenge, the new game is difficult to show skills. If any game can easily be played for players, it will lose its appeal. It can be said that this is a never ending battle of two teams, one side has skills and the other side has no gaming skills.

One thing that is easy to understand is that everyone can play, play well, everyone can be a professional gamer, so the contests of the continent and the world level, when opened, is there any meaning?

And in fact, until now, there's no way we can reduce the difficulty of this role-playing game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. But according to some experienced players, we can use some of the following tips to play Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice easier.

Listen for the sound of weapons clashing

You can tell when an enemy blocks your attack through the sound of weapons clashing. That would be the sharp, solid and compact sound of two metal weapons, hitting each other by the weight of speed and force.

As soon as you block your attack, the enemy will immediately counterattack with extremely dangerous "kill" and you need to be ready to receive, press the block button in time to earn Posture or if No, dodge quickly.

Gamers can take advantage of this to destroy the monsters, low-level spirit easier. Because these enemies often have quite simple attacks, easy to guess. If lured into a trap, can attack and destroy Posture bar to destroy them quickly.

Structure of the opponent's blood

For those who play Sekiro, everyone must know the importance of the Posture and Death Blow - Bounce and counterattack. However, this usually only works best for low-level soldiers, but for boss-type ones it is harder, because their Posture bars recover quite quickly. 

With only a little distance between attacks, their Posture was able to recover almost completely. Therefore, when fighting with this form, you should take advantage of the opportunity to dodge and pare away the enemy's blood, when losing a lot of blood, they will weaken and the Posture will recover a lot slower. This is also the time you have the opportunity to cast Death Blow.

Use special attacks (skills)

Sekiro's enemies in this role-playing game have three different types of special attacks, each of which is represented by red Chinese characters. Although difficult, we can still block or counterattack of these techniques effectively. However, we also need to learn to know about these special skills, such as:

Stab:

• This technique usually comes from enemies who use spears. Using Mikiri Counter is the best way to counter attack. That is, you will control your character to jump on enemy weapons to destroy his Posture, then release Death Blow.
• In addition, using Sekiro can also dodge across the spear tip. But this is a bit more difficult, because it's very likely that the enemy will redirect the attack and change to another way of attack that we did not anticipate.

Horizontal guillotine:

• If attacked by this move, we can jump over that sword and rush towards the enemy. If you're lucky you will be able to hit the enemy and destroy Posture.
• With this move, we have an indication that you are doing right, there will be a shock wave effect and echo. After kicking the target, Sekiro can use his sword to deal additional damage to the enemy.

Arrest:

• If you remember, the giant near the beginning of the game has a few moves to grab people from extremely far, with new players, this is a nasty offensive attack. But in fact, compared to the above two attacks, this game of people can escape quite easily like ducking to the side or jumping.

Another suggestion that From Software also implicitly brings to its ninja game players is that the company "marks" so that gamers can recognize very clearly about each enemy's attack. You can observe the movements, postures of the enemy to know what they are about to use and how you need to dodge. Specifically:

• When the enemy retrieves the weapon, it will be a stab.
• If the opponent raised his sword to his waist, swinging his shoulders at his shoulder, it would definitely be a slash. 

Practicing with Immortal Hanbei

Immortal Hanbei can be considered a great partner. We can freely play without facing the end of him. Practicing with Hanbei regularly, you will have the opportunity to master the skills, combo skills or blocks, dodge and move to not die too much while playing real.

Read the playing instructions

One of the things that many players often overlook, is "ignoring" the NPC. This is actually a mistake, because NPCs not only provide useful advice but they also help us discover, find important things to be able to pass through easily.

With Sekiro, if you talk a little hard, you will have the opportunity to find useful components for the prosthetic arm, or some descriptions that also give you clues to complete the side quests in the game.

Observe the enemy and battle terrain

Sekiro in particular and many other games in general are often "accidentally" or "intentionally" giving the boss a weak point that players can take advantage of. It is a grave on the body, or standing in a position that allows us to "bang" enthusiastically, sometimes a silly move to the Death Blow player.
In short, watch closely, because these little things sometimes help you win.

Put money away 

The "scar" a network in this strategy game Sekiro is heavily deducted points (50% of money and experience). This is indeed a bitter fruit for those who "die to gain experience to play". In addition, the grace of the god Unseen Aid will be greatly reduced if you die too much. 

A small tip to save you these moments, that is, use a canvas bag (Purse). If you go into a new land and don't know what awaits you, it's best to stop by the store and buy a canvas bag and put your money there safely.

Farm a lot of oil

The oil in Sekiro is extremely useful if paired with the Flame Barrel component to deal damage over time to bosses. In addition, when burning enemies, we also have the opportunity to slash a few more to finish it faster. We can farm this oil in the Hirata Mansion.

Another thing to note, is to learn how to jump far (hold the dodge key to run + press the jump button) to avoid the ultra wide sweep of the bosses using super long and big weapons. This is also one of the ways to help reduce the difficulty when facing the large and slow bosses in the game. 

Install the mod version 

Need to say, this mod is not developed by From Software, but this is a product of an online Modder. Perhaps due to sympathy, this modder has created a version that helps gamers too "chance" to experience Sekiro more deeply. 

This mod includes support for 21: 9 displays, increased depth of field, and an indicator screen that is always displayed so that players can keep track of their deaths. The most important thing about this mod is that the player can slow down the speed of the world around, while myself maintaining the original speed. This not only helps us see the opponent's attacks more clearly, has more time to dodge but also easier counterattack.

The above may be a bit difficult to do for first time players of the game rated as "potato" in the world. However, it can also be considered a bit of experience, tips to play Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for your reference.
