50 hours playing thr game 3 new saves and every fucking time I either get stuck at genichiro or owl. Why. I just have a wall with this game.

There are easy mode mods but they're too easy I just want like a tiny advantage just a crumb more damage so the fight doesn't last 10 hours torturing my ADHD ass brain to focus the entire time.

Almost every boss in this game is like the worst boss in a souls game. Just takes too fucking long.

Fuck it I'm gonna mod a greatsword in and clobber all the bosses away.

Edit: well i did genichiro

    So here's what I'll say, Geni is basically a test for the game. To really beat him reliably, you have to keep moving forward. You should pretty much only be parrying and pushing forward for the most part. From then on in the game, that's how you should be playing. Don't cheese. Just keep trying until you get it down.

    One thing I will ask - what are you playing this on? Is there a lot of latency between your inputs and what happens on screen? Because that actually makes a big difference

      I was playing on pc but my controller was giving me trouble with random missed inputs and disconnects so i switched to ps5. I don't know if its placebo but it does feel like my inputs are more reliably done, I had an easier time getting back to where I was.

      I do play largely full on aggression since backing off just switches the moveset to long range punishment on every boss. I just get tired with the fight doing it over and over never finding a good opening to get any damage in. It's also really hard to read his tells whether the unblockable is a lunge or sweep and they come in so quickly.

        I'd say, don't worry as much about doing damage, just try to get hits in even if they don't do damage to build up posture on geni. Some hits will get through and do some damage but if you keep constant pressure you'll break his posture

          I did it. The advice to not worry actually worked lol. I just turned my brain off and let the fight happen instead of rushing it. Still cheesed the bastard in lightning phase with firecrackers cos fuck that phase.

          It seems just ignoring posture and health and paying attention to only combat makes it easier. Just keep reacting and the fight ends eventually

            Congrats and exactly. Use the same strat with Owl later - I noticed that I would defeat him when I forgot about paying attention to damage.
