Sifu - How to Spare a Boss 

I should have mentioned in the video: sparing bosses is easier done once you're experienced with the fight and once you can quickly repeat the run to the boss via shortcut if you screw it up, so I recommend waiting to spare bosses in your second run through of game.

Crazy how much easier the bosses seemed the second time around. Even with sparing them. This game does a great job of making you learn the game. Don’t think the experience would be the same if I didn’t go through all the struggling and frustration of my first playthrough. Great game. Goaty so far. But that can most likely change lol

These bosses have killed me and taunted me countless times... I spare no one.

The hardest part of my second play through is to not accidentally kill then when their health gets low.

Quick, straight to the point, explanatory, and helpful. Very excellent video here.

It’s so hard to not end up killing them because I’m so used to dodging some of those faster attacks. It’s crazy how different I play this game compared to how I first started. It feels amazing and I bought this game with the goal I was going to do everything to master it.

When you play this at first you want to destroy the bosses not just because of the story, but also because of how hard the game is. At some point you get so good at the game you want to spare them, because you almost pity them.

Didn’t even realize this was an option! Thank you!

Wow.....that deep for the game to do. They did a amazing job of setting the story and having you to have your revenge.....and you stick to it. Its a nice message that tells that revenge can blind anyone to hatred. This games is amazing in its gameplay and theme.

It would be cool if after sparing the bosses you just see them at your place chilling or sparring with each other or something, imagine the witty banter.

Bro, thank you. If it wasn't for you, the first stage would have ended so bad. You have be the first and only youtuber that has been helpful

I was tryna do this on my rerun of the first level and ended up killing him again on accident. Now that I know the process I’ll try it again later. This game is actually so good

I purchased the games few weeks ago. It has so many layers of gameplay, branching paths, etc. I didn't know you could spare bosses. It never crossed my mind since it's a game about revenge. Thank you for the tips!

Solid video brother. Explained this mechanic better than so many others 👏🏽👏🏽

I’m so glad I found this video. I found an article saying the spare would fail if you punched the boss even once so I spared all of them through parry only. Thankfully I found this by the time I got to Yang.

Man I look to youtube for help on games all the time. This was by far the least frustrated demonstration I've seen lol thank you sir

Secret mechanics like this are always super fun to learn about. If you could do a guide to all 5 bosses, that'd be cool. Bc most of the time I accidentally kill them before I can even break their structure at all lol

wow that is such a nice touch to this game , makes me appreciate the work that went into the game even more

Low key the best Sifu tutorial I’ve come across!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I...didn't know there was a weapon in that second phase arena.😩 Anyway, I saw the spare option in an article and watched your video on it. Great job. I aspire to do as well a job with Kuroki. Eventually.😤 Thanks for the clip.👍👍👏

this was fun. just watching someone who understood the game so well. amazing stuff.

This was really helpful in my spare run thank you

I won’t kill you, I have forgiven you Boss: what about those people you just tossed down the stairwell?! I’m not patient enough to break all their guard meters twice

THANKS!! I've completed this multiple times and could never figure out how to do this.. excellent explanation.

So you can spare the boss actually, nice, gonna try that on my 2nd playthrough

Thanks for the guide I knew sparring the bosses was a thing just didn’t know how to do it

Way more impactful to spare them definitely got his point across showed them hes not only a superior fighter also morally superior

It’s also worth noting that he used the EASIEST boss to spare. Everyone after him is tougher to spare than the first.

The thought of breaking Yangs structure twice in phase two... I barely did it once.

Thanks for this I was trying to figure this out. Makes sense you have to break them twice seems like main character was debating on killing them or not. Liked 👍 .

Bro I just found about this last night as far as sparing the bosses. I'm glad I saw your video so now I can do it. Thanks a ton for this man! 🤟🏾

Thanks, pal. im so happy i found ur channel. Museum boss was doing my head in. Subscribed, Safe m8

Simple straight to the point, awesome video

For people that still don’t know the whole point, In order to show mercy, you have to break the bosses structure 2 times. But the reason why you need to parry is because you cannot cause too much damage or else the boss will probably die. leaving you with no option but to kill.

Perhaps the best game i've played in 2022 yet, until Elden Ring comes around i guess. Still, this game is just fantastic.

Thank you for explaining this! Definitely liked and subbed! Cheers

Straight to the point you just earned a sub

bro appriecate this vid a ton

didn't knew thanks now i can replay to see alternate endings

For some reason I thought I had to parry in order to spare them. I'm so glad it's a bit less complicated than that l. Thank you.

thank you for showing me I've been searching

Our character is supposed to represent the Yin (atleast that's how i view it), while Yang represents the Yang (oh you don't say it), in evil, there's still good (our character sparing the bosses) and in good there's still evil (Yang killing his sifu and stealing the techniques from the dojo and using it to help people)

underrated video

Damn I didn’t even know there was an option to spare these guys. I get so frustrated by the time I beat them that I just jump to end it.

My game doesn’t even pop up to spare them, so I can’t spare them anyway

thanks man i realised i took out his whole health wasnt parrying enough 👍

Thanks for this - I just found out after beating the game twice that you can spare them. Can't wait to play again

Vid helped a lot thank you

This would be very useful if I could actually beat a single boss. That being said Really cool this is an option and thanks for sharing !

If you run right at the start you can avoid having to block to get the stick

Thank you... Time to spare some lives!

I had no idea you can spare them, i'll definitely go for that the next time i play it

i hope i wasnt the only one that only dodged through the whole story. i didnt block at all i just dodged everything had me feeling like mike tyson.

Thank you man I done this once and didn’t know how it happened

That was very helpful! Thanks a lot!!!

I needed around 50 tries to beat Yang the first time. Now it became relativelly easy.

This is really helpful thank you

Great video, thanks!

The first time I fought the boss he killed the second time I was age 75 but after lowering it to age 32 I went through the rest of the game and when I went back to reduce my age again because I was struggling he was much much easier that I beat the whole level deathless the game nailed progressive learning as at the start you just block and take the damage to your structure but after that the only way you will survive is by learning to parry and dodge attacks which in my opinion is so satisfying when you dodge the flury of attacks from the boss

that was pretty badass

Omg everytime I try to spare a boss, i keep just killing them like i keep forgetting

I find the flowing claw to be absolutely broken. Literally just spam that and it'll dodge attacks while setting up a combo that eats their poise. There have even been instances where I beat them before their structure even breaks

Ngl I haven't beat yang yet but thanks for telling me this so I don't end up with the bad end without knowing

Nice. Thanks for this.

To be honest sparing a boss is the honorable path. Vengeance isn't the answer

Ty so much! :)

I finished the game and I've been wondering how to spare bosses. Now it's like playing a whole different game the second time around

I didn't realize his structure had to go before his health. I was kicking his butt to quickly lol

Thank u so much very helpful

I think this goes without saying but if the boss runs out of health, you kill them automatically

I’ve tried 5 times on the first boss flawlessly and it won’t give me the spare button and idea why

As soon as I see triangle-circle, it's combo finisher time😁😁

Thank you, I heard you could bet never knew how

Very helpful thank you!

Thank you very much

Kill 1000 henchmen spare the boss. Sifu logic.

I struggled keeping him alive WAAY too much 😅

Thanks bro❤

GOAT guide. 👍

No matter how mane times i got handled by them I always spared I think the only time i killed a boss was the first one because i didn't know i could spare

Level 1: easy :) Level 2: impossible 💀

Thanks a lot for the info~ I just felt something wrong and incomplete for the 1st Playthrough.....

The last boss is so.hard that i don't think i could spare him

Damn be it’s just so natural to do a takedown that when I did this I pressed takedown instead of spare twice 😂

Thank you!

Ahhh so u need a weapon to stun him because I beat him up bare handed and I couldn’t get his structure to break

I didn't know this was a mechanic in the game, thanks for making this video explaining it! And this got me thinking about some question : -If you spare the first boss (The squats) but you kill the second boss (The club) does that give you a different ending or is just ends up with the "Normal" ending?

summary: first phase = no mercy, second phase = break structure 2 times

I had no idea u could do this the game never tells you!!!!!

Thx a lot😊

That's crazy I had no clue I can spare people

thx bro.

Really helpful video, thank you a lot!

Appreciate you

“Spear a boss” love the accent hehe

Hardest part is keeping them alive

I kept doing the triangle and x because I thought that would spare him not kill him

The only thing harder than beating the bosses is letting them live.

The option to spare enemies should be in every game

Thanks!
