On my last playthrough, I actually killed the bull the legitimate way, but I just can’t be bothered to with DoH. It’s not a bad fight per se, but it just doesn’t really fit Sekiro, imo, and is a little tedious. I’ve heard of people oftentimes saying that DoH would fit Bloodborne a lot more. Wouldn’t mind him there tbh
Damn. I don’t see it, but I do see it. There’s lots of hints pointing towards this happening ultimately and signs that this could happen to Sekiro too depending on the choices you make.
Parries are important, but I felt like dealing health damage was usually the way to go because he has quite strong posture. I’d usually apply Divine Confetti and hammer away at him whenever I have an opening. It’s been a while since I tried the fight legit, though, admittedly. Might have to give it another go!
Yeah, you really need to deal damage here, not only parrying. I believe some other bosses and enemies also designed with the same approach more or less (the guardian ape boss comes to my mind). In DoH case i found it important to walk around him while hitting him, so you avoid some of his combo attacks without dodging or parrying. That added a nice flavour to the fight for me. Plus run away and hook back when he does jumping AOE. As i learned how to counter every attack, i found that fight super satisfying. Took me 3 days tho
Yea, I guess it’s not too bad to have a little something different mixed into standard experience.
It took me ages too. It is quite a cinematic fight though and it feels very rewarding story-wise
