Summary

• Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice posture system and focus on parry makes it the most difficult modern FromSoftware game.
• The Mist Noble and Folding Screen Monkeys are unique boss fights, emphasizing atmosphere and mechanics over difficulty.
• The Gauntlets of Strengh (boss-rush mode) added more tough versions of already difficult bosses.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an outlier in FromSoftware's successful Soulslike formula. In most other From Software games, boss fights take place in closed-off arenas where your goal is to take out all their HP before they manage to drain yours.

In Sekiro, this back-and-forth works just a bit differently thanks to the posture system. It's a truly unique system that no other Souls-like game has managed to imitate yet. So, with that in mind, let’s go through every single boss of the game (both regular and mini) and rank them from weakest to strongest.

Updated on April 15, 2024, by Marco Vito Oddo: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice remains one of the best FromSoftware games of all times. Instead of re🅠using the RPG elements of Dark Souls and Bloodborne, the game instead🧸 goes full-action to offer the best sword-fighting combat in the industry.

Unsurprisingly, Sekiro is also known as the hardest FromSoftware game, as there's no way to level up to beat a challenge. You have to "git gud" and master the Posture and Vitality mechanics. Sekiro's skill cap got elevated even more by the addition of Inner bosses, the master of the Gauntlets of Strength.

32 🐷 ဣ The Mist Noble

The Mist Noble is less of a mini-boss and more of a sꦅwitch you stab with your sword to turn off all the mi🌱st and illusions in the area. There’s really nothing to this fight at all, considering you drop in from below and deathblow it, then chop away at it until it dies.

To be fair, the Mist Noble can a⭕ctually attack, it&♏rsquo;s just pitifully easy to deflect. This boss is so simple, it’s become a running gag among the fans.

31 🧔 The Folding Screen Monkeys 🍰

First and foremost are the Folding Screen Monkeys. These "bosses" are probably one of the most unique in the entire FromSoft catalog since each one of them is designed around a stealth mechanic. The arena itself is atmospheric, the designs of each room are highly varied, and the overall concept is amazing, but there's no difficulty in this fight other than the amount of time it takes to get it done.

The goal is to use the environment to avoid detection by monkeys that see all, hear all, or just use a gong to warn the others. It's a nice challenge for your first run that becomes trivial once you understand what's happening.

30 The Sakura And Blazing Bulls 𓆏

The Two Bulls that show up near the beginning and end of Sekiro are a textbook ꦺexample of From Software’s classic move of reusing a particularly annoying boss fight. They did it with the Smelter Demon, Champion Gundyr, and the Asylum Demon. The Blazing Bull is another one of these boss fights, and it’s not particularly exci💎ting or fun in any way.

The Sakura Bull of the Fountainhead Palace is even less diverse than the reused bosses in other games. They aren&rsq🐼uo;t interesting, they aren’t exactly fun to fight, and they surely🍒 aren’t too difficult compared to other bosses on here

29 🍃 ඣ Leaders And Generals

There are a ton of mini-boss encounters spread throughout the game that basically boil𝔍 down to fighting a slightly more difficult basic warrior enemy. These are called Elite Warriors, and they break down into two types, Leaders and Generals.

There’s really only one “Leader” in the game, and it’s Leader Shigenori Yamauchi, the first real enemy you fight coming out of Kuro’s towe꧂r. Of course, thi🌌s guy is absurdly easy, considering he’s meant to be a tutorial into how deflecting and poise works. But, the Generals are a different story.

Sekꦑiro has three of these General fights spread throughout the game, Matsumoto, Kawarada, and Tenzen Yamauchi. And, while the Generals themselves are a tad difficult, the main challenge of these mini-boss encounters is getting rid of all the mobs around them as effortlessly as possible. Then, once you can 1-v-1 these guys, all you really have to look out for is their unblockable sweeping attacks.

28 Snake Eyes Shirafuji And Shiraha🐻gi

Both the Snake Eyes fights play out pretty similarly, the only big difference between them is the environment you fight them in. Shirafuji is in a r☂elatively small area of rock covered by snow, while Shirahagi is in a big ar✅ena with poisonous water spread throughout.

To beat b💛oth of these mini-bosses, really you just have to stay close, dodge their one unblockable attack, and make sure to dodge when they take aim to fire their guns. Otherwise, it’s just a simple pattern of deflecting their basic combo until they’re ready for a Deathblow.

27 ♓ The Chained Ogre

The Chained Ogre is the first big barrier of Sekiro. This isꦛ a mini-boss that demands that you deflect it, forces you to watch out for the unblockable attacks, and will not give you any chance to breathe. But, after getting more than a few hours into the game, the Chained Ogre is absolutely nothing special in comparison to later bosses or even later basic enemies.

That said, i⛄t can still decimate any players who are overconfident, especially when it reappears again near the end of the game.

26 Gyoubu Masataka O𝔉niwa

The ex-bandit leader Gyoubu "Bridge Guardian" Oniwa is many players' first real "introduction" to the boss fights in Sekiro. His fight has everything a Sekiro boss fight should have and is overall a great middle-ground quality standard to use for the other bosses.

Gyoubu is one of the Seven Ashina Spear𓆏s, and he shows it through sheer dedication to decimating Ashina’s enemies and hi🦩s obnoxious screams throughout the course of his boss fight.

25 Juzou, Tokujiro, And Shigekichi 🤪 ไ

There are technically three different versions of this one mini-boss, with each one switching up the formula for this attack. But, for all of them, the general tactic is simple, learn the tꩲiming of their attacks, avoid these telegraphed grabs, and chip away at them while they drink.

Juzou is the first one, first showing up just outside the Madame Butterfly boss fight at the Hirata Estate. Because of the enemies surrounding Juzou, this fight can be ovܫerwhelming. But, since it’s easy to clear all these weak mobs out while avoiding Juzou’s attacks, you’ll almost always be able to fight one on one. Juzou really isn’t difficult, the hardest part of his attacks is getting used to the odd timing of them. But, other than that, he’s not bad at all

Tokujiro is almost the exact same encounter as Juzou, just in a smaller arena, and with monkey mobs around him✱ rather than other soldiers. Like Juzou, take out the mobs then focus on him. The smaller space may make things a tad more difficult, but not by much.

Shigekichi is the largest deviation in terms of design🌳 and attacks, bu𝐆t it’s still pretty much the same fight. Sure, Shigekichi uses fire-based attacks rather than poison ones, but thats about it.

24 𝓰 The Armoured Warrior

Next, we have the Armored Warrior, a guy whose death-cry became a running joke for the fanbase, but is actually a really tragic character once you piece together his backstory. The Armoured Warrior is initially quite confusing as a fight because the usual Deathblow tactic doesn't work, rather, the guy seems invincible.

Once his attacks start breaking the guardrails of the bridge, people connect the dots quite quickly. It’s an enjoyable fight with a unique twist, but there's not much difficulty once you understand how to beat this unbeatable foe.

23 The Long-Arm Centipede Gira🙈ffes

The Long Arm Centipede mini-bosses are exceptionally easy, but they sure don’t 🅘seem that way the first time you go up against one o✤f them. In fact, these claw-barraging beasts are pretty overwhelming. But, once you understand that you’re meant to spam the deflect button and jump over its one unblockable attack, this fight sort of becomes a cakewalk.

If you’re still having any trouble, the Sꦰhinobi Fireworks once again is a perfect tool for giving you a second to breathe.
