Sekiro - Isshin, The Sword Saint (Easy/Cheese Kill) 

Bruh! Same.

Get em out the high grass for better visibility 😉

The second phase is the easiest. You have to attack him until you get a deflect from him. At that point you deflect him 3 times and repeat the cycle. If you sit next to him 100% time you get 2 scenarios. first is the ashina cross that he cancells, pushes you away and does a slash. Second is a thrust attack. It's the most scripted and predictable phase if you sit on him.

Elden ring and dark souls are so much easier then this game lmao

Except genichiro

XDDDDD

That would be tragic lol

I got this once)) it was painfull.

​@@Soul._.Seeker meanwhile I'm doing this boss with 14 vitality, 5 max healing gourds panicking 😂

Yea imagine if that happened in gauntlets of strength

I agree. So much faster to just stay on his ass and defend accordingly.

Whirlwind works better since it's faster, but it won't give you the same amount of posture damage and will take longer. It's just safer.

Your most welcome!! I am really glad you were able to beat him through my guide ❤️

if you can't do this, it means your timing is off ( you landed before you attacked). So try to jump a bit later than the previous

Yea but when I used to try it the timing was mostly always off so block and jump then lightning reversal is a safer option and you don't have to concentrate on getting the timing right but anyways thank you for letting other people know ❤️

​@@Soul._.Seeker Eh personally for me the jump attack lightning reversal is easier probably because I got more practice with it

At one point, the game tells you to jump, THEN block, THEN attack for the lightning reversal lol.

I will try this out

I am new player here, haven't gotten to this pont yet but it sounds insane they didn't put a checkpoint after Geni....(I got trashed by Owl in Hirata for 6 hours straight...so I will take on Isshin eventually lol)

Don't feel bad. Genichiro had to go get himself ANOTHER Mortal Blade just to defeat you, so technically, you're the main boss.

Wow I am really I glad I could help seriously this comment made my day. I actually got sekiro in 2021 and still play the game almost everyday because I love it and also have like a few hundreds of game hours. Well dark souls 3 is a complete different story for me I got that game in 2018 and I also still play that game sometimes. I have like 2000 game hours or something. I can relate with you and this made me really happy thanks!

@@Soul._.Seeker thank you man. I've never experienced anything like this in a boss battle in any souls game. I wonder if Elden ring will have any thing like that. It was the same for me I started playing on 2018 give or take maybe 2016 but I stopped playing for a bit because the only advice I got was play as deprived. ( Best advice I've ever got lol)I got round 2000 hours give or take in dark souls 1 also . 100 hours or so in DS2. And my probably 150 hours of dark souls 3. every fight I've went into felt the same I was get into it and feel all that I did when I beat innshin but my body would go cold and start to freeze but with this one I died so I rewatched your video and used all that your shown in the video along with being pretty angry I couldn't beat him and instead of my body going cold I started getting heated and flustered my cheeks and my chest were burning up more and more as I fought innshin. I honestly think me heating up was do to embarrassment of not being able to beat him for so long. But I was able to use what you provided in this video and able to unleash my full unfiltered hatred for innshin and able to abuse him with alot of attacks. So as I got close to his final health bar and breaking his posture i was half health with no more heals and revives. I said to myself please just let me beat him and started holding my breath and pushed him. As I broke his posture and did my death blow wolf was so close to the edge of the cliff and look like he could fall at any second. I was spamming the attack button after he said the words good jod. There was instant relief and I love this game and boss. And my only thoughts looking at his memory text was I have to make a comment here and tell my one friend

@@PissBreakSupervisor your welcome! (Yes I read everything) you are right this boss is the most unique one Including Gherman from Bloodborne (if you have played it) Ds1 is good and I also have like a few hundreds game hours. Surprisingly I have played Ds2 more because it seemed wat harder and it took me about 50 hours just to beat it once. The heating up part is completely normal when you are facing a beast lol. It took me about a week just to beat this guy and that was also just by luck because he gave me the most openings possible. I have heard that Elden ring has Meleinia who is a complete beast way worse than Isshin because of the slow combat system in Elden ring. Thank you actually talking to me about this I really appreciate it!

@@Soul._.Seeker no problem I love talking about the souls borne games so talking to another who shares that love of the games is fun. I also had a lot of luck during the innshin fight. Especially at the last 20 seconds or so I was one hit and just praying none of his attacks reach through my defense. Now I'm going to go bully old man innshin lol

I mean you could say that it’s more of a way to make him do some attacks which give more openings but yea still need to atleast know something of the game if you have made it this far!

@@Soul._.Seeker Yeah, actually I'm enjoying fighting him. Could make it to the 2nd phase with no damage at all, just bout time to beat him. Owl Shinobi and Father were a pain in the ass. Lady butterfly as well. Had to cheese them down in order to advance. The rest been a good fight.

@@KJTEJ That’s good if you are enjoying it then that’s more than enough. Forget cheesing this boss just enjoy and suffer till you win and feel that satisfaction which only occurs ONCE!

Your welcome dude!

Your welcome man ❤️

The mikiri counter is easy just spam circle or b when you see the Kanji start to fade

Three days is nothing:) I spent a week after finishing game, than I spent a week two years after, and than I spent 3 days 3 more years after and finally beat him. Don't surrender!

Genichiro is harder than Isshin.

Bro WHAT?? lmao@@TopMostFlavor

Oh wow! Your welcome I hope you defeat this boss successfully.

Same I love that music when I played the games I would mostly be on the map screen just to listen to the ezio theme. That’s why I use it so other people feel the same :)

also 1:54

​@@koi3824Yes, honestly it's pretty easy to block. The only problem is you're gonna take damage, because of it. I think i already tried it but just try it yourself to make sure 😄

@@Skillz1977you won't take damage if you block them

Really? Maybe they patched it in some update, I have the older version without the gauntlets and also I just saw other videos with this boss cheese with latest update and they were doing the same thing instead with mortal draw so I don't know!

@@Soul._.Seeker the mortal blade one works even faster and still works but it uses sprit emblems So if you want to defeat isshin with everything expect sprit emblems try it

@@easycall69 okay thanks 👍🏻

@@Soul._.Seeker in the second phase jump around and use mortal blade while in the air

You don't need this in genichiro, he's so easy XD

Yes it is the music of assassins creed but this music is the main track for all the assassins creed games not only odyssey!

Your welcome

:D

Your welcome, Glad I could save your time.

Your welcome!

Bro you just keep playing the game 💀 You are way to back to get to this point it’s in game in the actual plot so don’t worry you will get to these boss fights

It truly is and that’s the beauty of this game.

That’s an amazing idea but I play on PS4 which means I can’t play mods unfortunately. Once I actually get a good laptop which supports these game I will install mods and make tons of videos hopefully! Thanks for the nice words and for the idea ❤️

You will need ichimonji double a Shinobi art and also the ability to use Shinobi art mid air to do that.

@@Soul._.Seeker Thank you 😁

I just do it normally. There is no trick to this or a glitch it’s normal fighting but just at the best openings possible. I know and I understand the fact that it’s not fun anymore but once you beat the game the real fun starts believe me!

@@Soul._.Seeker You're just on another level to me man. This boss might be enough to make a grown man cry 🤣 I can't even do the 1st phase ishiin really lol just get demolished so fast Beat him 4 days later 🥳

Your welcome I am actually really happy it helped you. If you want to ask anything else just go ahead i am here for you man ;)

@@Soul._.Seeker honestly I never thought I’d start a new game plus play through. I had tried to beat him about 40 times before trying yesterday. What is your favorite boss/ hardest in your opinion?

@@kyleclause that’s just sekiro for you like when I played it the first time I was pretty upset with the game and now look at me I have more than 1000 hours in this game and my whole RU-vid channel is based on it! My favorite boss is probably isshin the sword Saint just because of how cool he is like damn bro, it also just feels fair fighting him for some reason. Hardest is probably demon of hatred because it’s literally a boss from dark souls thrown in sekiro which made me die the very most possible times lol!

@@Soul._.Seeker lol I agree the demon of hatred had me hating the game for a bit. I had to cheese him not gonna lie. That’s the only boss I have yet to beat in a fair fight. Even the cheese method took some practice.

Getting stressed while fighting isshin is normal because how quickly he moves. So for that you can back off a little and wait for him to attack once and then you get one hit and dip. Instead of aiming for the posture bar aim for the Health bar, it will take a long time like 16 to 20 minutes but it should work if you don’t mess up while doing it. ;)

Thanks for the tip, I really appreciate it, I'll try to defeat Isshin more calmly​@@Soul._.Seeker

@@jogo9910 no problem hope you beat him. Playing calmly is the best way.

I am actually new game +7 here so my attack power is around 60 that’s why I do so less damage. Getting greedy is a natural thing in fromsoftware games lmao! But your welcome I am glad I could help ;)

Reading all that was a roller coaster lmao. Your dedication is incredible you definitely deserved to finish the game congrats!

Haha thank you for coming to my TedX talk man, great vid

@@AESTHETICCosmopolitan thanks man!

It’s the theme of Assassins Creed you can search on RU-vid and you will find it.

I just realized what you were asking, I haven't played assassin's Creed rough yet but I used the original assassins creed theme from ezio (which I have played) maybe it's the same because I have also played assassin's Creed Odyssey and origins and unity and all of these also had the same music!

It doesn't really matter. if you have good eyesight and a good reaction speed, You could easily spot the difference

@@Skillz1977 I don't

@@alessandrodellalbani5641 you dont have it.. yet.

@@Skillz1977 I already killed isshin,still have that problem

Damn man you reached Isshin in only 3 days that's actually impressive. Your welcome I am glad I could help!

Yea I really don’t know how to identity it now it’s just like a instinct for me. Tbh after fight this boss for like 100 times because actually beating it I kinda started learning it’s patterns. That’s how Miyazaki makes these games 💀

@@Soul._.Seeker oh and the part when you said try to come close to isshin, i remember when isshin is in that pose, he can do a cross slash, so if we come close to him, he will do that red word attack instead of that cross slash?

@@youzo573 yea most probably just because of how the AI works. If you get far he will try to catch up and if you are close he will just hit you with the red sign attack! If you have any other questions just ask ;)

@@Soul._.Seeker many thanks bro

No problem man. "I help anytime"

You mean genichiro? Or Isshins first phase because it it's Isshins first phase then yea that still works! For Genichiro people are saying it got patched so maybe it doesn't work anymore.

@@Soul._.Seeker ok thank you👍

Anyway.. your strategy is easy to understand and very aplicable

Apparently people are saying this is patched so I am really sorry for wasting your time. I have the older version.

Don’t worry man it highly depends on skill. For example, I beat guardian ape first try in my first play through and suffered for more than 2 weeks for isshin. But nowadays I suffer with guardian ape for like a few days but beat isshin first try! As you can see it also depends on luck, So don’t worry man. You will finish the game easy!

That’s the weirdest way of doing it 💀

so sorry, but the version of sekiro which I have (CD) does not include the gauntlet boss fights!

@@Soul._.Seeker Damn :/ thanks anyways mate :)

@@RevvedUpRaccoon Your welcome I guess 😅

honestly the best advice is to stay on his butt, and try to get him into a corner

I'm doing my 5th playthrough with no kuro charm and the demon bells

It is kinda of a cheese because there is no existing cheese for this boss! This is how close we get. You can also try running around the arena getting few hits and then repeating. It will take like 30 min but if you want it then here is a cheese which is harder then the average fight!

I am actually really happy it was helpful to you some people kept saying it's useless but you just made my day better, thanks! Btw congrats on beating the game 🎉

Yea I actually did you can see how I was confused why he kept doing that because I wanted to heal but then I accepted it and continued. But tbh I beat this boss every time first try no problem just because I know all of its weaknesses and all the openings!

@@Soul._.Seeker thanks for this guide, I was able to beat him before my work shift today. Such a cool boss

But those are posture wreckers

@@vittocrazi not if you deflect and counter with your own ichimonji, or just use the umbrella

@@sjayk-ax3116 counter with ichimonji requires not to be posture Broken already. Umbrella im going to give It to you. But if posture not breaking because perfect deflect IS easy, then you dont need a "cheese" nor a strat in the first place. You have already beat the boss

Damn, then I hope this helps you.

People are saying that they patched this so I am really sorry for wasting your time. I have the older version without the gauntlets

Okay 😂 Its a good show I really did enjoy it but what does that have to do with anything here 😂

@@Soul._.Seeker the hit song ezio's family from the show avatar the last banana blender

@@voideyess oh yea now I remember that was really amazing 👍🏻🙂

@@Soul._.Seeker make more samurai jack videos very OP and don't 4get to join my discord bro

@@voideyess yea sure man samurai jack (honestly that show was my childhood) Content never gets old, Haven't been playing that "game" for a while now and I will definitely never 4get to join your discord!

First of all it's not only the theme of Assassin's creed rogue, It's the original theme song of the assassin's creed series. Second of all, just because I love that theme. The dark souls cover with the theme just looks and sounds amazing and I thought it would be a cool outro! 😅

Yea Ig you could call it that if you want a “cheese” then just run around the arena hitting once or twice and do the fight for 30 min. Or you could try to learn the patterns and counter them like I showed in the video! If it still doesn’t work then I am sorry I couldn’t help you.

I agree with you here. The second phase is not easy at all it's actually the hardest among all of them. You can only beat second phase Isshin by actually learning his moves or mikiri countering every chance you have. Dying from gravity is one of the classics in souls like games.

@@Soul._.Seeker 3rd phas was a joke xD damn but the fight was fun xD - welp ng+ it is now \o/
