GeraltOfRivia Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice sales top five million, ‘Additional Features Update’ launches October 29 Quote Reflection of Strength / Gauntlet of Strength The Sculptor’s Idols are not only places of healing, but also tools for self-reflection. The Wolf felled many a foe in his journey for revenge, and in reflecting on these memories, he can gain an even greater sense of understanding and pride for his victories. With this update, you will be able to take part in Reflections of Strength; re-matches against any previously defeated boss that can be accessed through any Sculptor’s Idol. These reflections may help in preparing for Gauntlets of Strength, single-life challenges that will truly test only the bravest warriors… or the most foolish. As by definition of a Gauntlet, if the Wolf dies at any point, he must start over from the beginning. You like a challenge, right? Change Form Sculptor’s Idols will also offer the ability to change the Wolf’s outfits, with three to become available with this update, including “Tengu” and “Old Ashina Shinobi. Two of these outfits are unlocked via Gauntlets, while the third is unlocked just by beating the game once. All outfits are purely cosmetic in nature: They are accoutrements to your achievements within Sekiro. Remnants Whether you are a new player ready to experience Sekiro for the first time or are gearing up to face past challenges once more, expect a brand-new player movement and text recording system that could aid you and your fellow wolves on your journey. Remnants are recordings of what a player does in-game for up to 30 seconds at a time and are available for use after the game’s tutorial. After a player records their Remnant – whether it is an epic takedown of an enemy or a flawless demonstration of a tricky movement technique – it can be uploaded along with a written message so that other community members can play it back. Through these Remnants, one could hope that they or others may gain the knowledge and further insight to overcome their current obstacle. For those seeking ultimate guidance on traversing treacherous areas, or seeking hidden alcoves or curious cubby-holes, these records may prove a blessing from the gods. If a community member watches and then rates a Remnant, the owner of it will have their HP recover for free, allowing them to get back into the fight quicker without the use of a Sculptor’s Idol, or consumable items such as Healing Gourds.

gamer_adi Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Damn! Dark Souls trilogy - 27 million Sekiro - 5+ million, So glad for From Software... And this is why Sony needs to bring Bloodborne and Demon's Souls to pc also, it would easily top Sekiro sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 How much has Bloodborne sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer_adi Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Just a couple of million, i think. It has the capacity to topple Dark Souls series as From Soft's best selling franchise if it had the kind of exposure that DS had on every platform. Unfortunately, that won't happen though.

dante77 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I am so glad. This is my favorite game of this generation. Pretty much exactly what I needed. Although I loved DS games and want the series to continue, I wanted a bit of fast pased free flow with easy movement hack n slash type souls game too and Sekiro was exactly that. Plus better visuals!A separate series is always a safe way if you want to to try something drastically new for the series IMO. It doesn't upset the fans and bring lots of new people to play your game.I really hope for a sequel. I hope they are currently working on a sequel of this instead of another souls game!

CarbonCore Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 NG++ is already a boss rush mode if you skipped past all the enemies. But good to know that now you can just rematch directly from idol. Time to dunk on Genichiro and daddy Owl again and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to always think FS games sell very well 2.5-3 million is a very good number as an exclusive, considering the kind of game it is and when it released.

AnK Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Plust it released as new IP within 1.5 years of the console launch & was the first killer app of the system those are good numbers considering all of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Killed this a**hole. Took like 20 attempts. Even that spear mini boss wasn't this tough. f**ker taught me deflections though. Mkiri was already taught by Seven spears guy. You actually git good by playing more and more. Blazing bull was easy: Gyoubu took me some tries but he wasn't that tough. Once you nail the patterns, you don't even need resurrection.

I actually went ahead and faught Gonichiro and killed his first phase without issue, but died in 2nd phase. That guy doesn't slash as fast as Ashina Elite. Elite's twin flash was giving me lot of issues, and no mkiri counter for rescue. I struggle against slices. Will take him on tomorrow.

Key is to always face him and deflect. Also do Hirata estate first. Many miss Hirata estate. It gives you prosthetics, prayer beads etc. You can skip main boss of Hirata estate and progress to Gyoubu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Was one hit away from death Decided to just spam shadow rush in first two phases, and then fight properly in 3rd phase. Again just one hit away from death here too. Might have thrown away my controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Guardian Ape is giving me lot of trouble in Phase 2. Need to get 2 resurrections for that I guess. Anyways some videos, cheesed some mini bosses: Snake Eyes strategy to get free first deathblow: Best mid-early mid game farming location: These guys are easy once you deflect properly (camera killed me ffs): Fatto the glutton: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomShade Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Gandu Ape stage 2 is ez and pz, stage 1 is total cancer because of the unpredictability stage 2 he only does 2 things, 3-4 hit combo with the sword, he will then stand up and try an overhead slash, all ez pz parry. the other thing he does is the lunge and sweep with the sword, just jump over this one. you get this one spear prosthetic in this small temple after killing MY NAME IS GYOBU MASAKATA ONIWAAAAAA eziest is when he falls after the final overhead swing, you just poke him with this fully charged spear prosthetic in his neck stump, a centipede will pop out, does massive damage to his HP bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
