Prepare to be amazed as precision and perseverance collide in the unforgiving world of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Veteran player GroeneWolf420 has achieved a mind-bending feat by besting the daunting Isshin: The Sword Saint. How is this extraordinary? The player managed it without the usual movement actions like walking, running, jumping, or mikiri countering. Trust me, it’s as awe-inspiring as it sounds!
Using abilities to close the gap on Isshin and flawlessly parrying every attack, including the infamous thrust attacks, GroeneWolf420 demonstrates unmatched skill. These thrust attacks are typically countered with mikiri, a skill that deals substantial posture damage to the enemy. Knowing that mikiri isn't an option and still deciding to face Isshin reflects sheer audacity. What's even more stunning? They did it all on their 45th attempt. The will and determination pay off when GroeneWolf420 finally claims victory.
But this remarkable victory was just the beginning. Encouraged by the community, GroeneWolf420 is eyeing even greater challenges. Enthusiastic suggestions include taking on Inner Isshin with the same restrictions. Another recommendation points towards facing the mighty Great Shinobi Owl. Such ambitious endeavors keep the Sekiro community buzzing with excitement. Replies on the thread reveal admiration and provide useful insights. Players even advised leveraging invincibility frames at crucial moments to dodge attacks, illustrating the collaborative spirit among fans.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice may have debuted over five years ago, but it hasn't stopped inspiring ingenious and daredevil playstyles. Despite the absence of DLC or story expansions, seasoned players continue to discover new ways to challenge themselves. GroeneWolf420 echoes the thoughts of many by expressing a desire for fresh content, even humorously admitting, "I really need a DLC." It's clear this passion drives players to remarkable feats and keeps the game alive and kicking.
As FromSoftware turns its focus to the highly anticipated Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, Sekiro aficionados continue drawing parallels. This perspective DLC promises bosses as unforgiving and aggressive as Sekiro's, inheriting and evolving its combat style. With Sekiro's influence subtly shaping future FromSoft titles, fans remain hopeful for more content. Until then, trailblazers like GroeneWolf420 keep pushing the boundaries, proving that even the toughest challenges can be conquered with enough skill and determination.
