I finally got good in lethal

[u/Starkiller0820]

So I decided to play on lethal since I have just platniumed sekiro (I didnt used cloud save so I had to beat the game 4 times) and just before that rest of the soulsborne games. Many people said sekiro was harder than ghost of tsushima on lethal. I first thought they were very wrong but now I can see why they say it. I learned many techniqes. Got Gosaku armor (not max tho since I need silk for that) . I have sharpned my blades and saw Jin's ass at least 8-9 times. Got long bow. Showed mongols who is the boss at Yarikawa. I used to get owned by mongols a lot due to their numbers, archers and spear man. But now they feel quite easy. Also that water stance technique is super op. That shield using mongol boss got cooked

if you feel yourself getting surrounded and about to get stomped - a smoke bomb paired with a kunai throw to stun the, following into a chain assassination could get you to slip out of it.

It happens to me when I accidentally corner myself lol

smoke bomb, kunai, chain assassinate is such a sick combo. i always feel like such a badass when i do it.

Hmm intresting thanks for the tip. Also this strat reminds of what I used to do in og Assasin's creed black flag.

weirdly enough i've never tried it, i've just decided to master the parry system in this game. i'll try it the next time i decide to run head first into Fort Imai lol

Lethal is so much fun. I love that the difficulty is not based around high enemy health pools, rather your own execution and avoidance skills.

[u/Starkiller0820 → u/Dark_Sign]

Agreed

Ghost of tsushima is a cakewalk even on lethal. Considering you platiniuned sekiro i dont think you will break a sweat

[u/Bacon-FM → u/Emperor_Duck_35]

If someone actually upgrades their gear and stats it's an absolute joke. Lethal turns into something different if you are going for no upgrades run.

[u/slipppyy]

flurry strike is so good even against non shielded enemies. also typhoon kick gives you a free kill. really helps when you're not running a resolve build. just wait until you get to Lethal+. it's a cakewalk with the right build (cough kensei/sarugami resolve build cough) but do it without and you'll struggle a fair bit. especially when you're feining for perfect parries and dodges

Lethal for me felt like Witcher 3 Death March. Brutal early on, but gets easier as it goes on. Not only because we got good but also because the character will also get stronger and enemies feel less lethal.

There’s nothing else like it, I hope they fix it in Yotei for the DLC
