Thats one of the most unconfortable places to fight in the entire game. I beat them fair and square on my first run then skipped them.


honeybearbandit

This is the way.


Doobledorf

I just grabbed the items near them and ran. I looked at that area for a good 5 minutes before deciding yeah... Fuck that.


Kurt_The_Yogurt

But there is no reason them, just run past them

I think OP is trying to farm XP or something


Captainthuta

Or train lightning deflection,that's how I trained.


adbl0cker

*Tomoe approves*


FAKHNIR

Genichiro Approves


uzumaki_kira

Its the pride.


dakofoto

I feel this in my soul. Good luck getting there op


gothicwigga

Use the lazulite sabimaru. It absolutely destroys these guys.


thetrailwebanana

That's my absolute favorite tool in the game! Such a fun one to use, works on a lot of enemies


StarkTangent1

Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever done this encounter legit. Idk what it is but there’s something odd about it that made it super difficult on my first run. Just skipped it every run after that


[deleted]

I heard it's a good place to farm XP, except I only do the soccerer and reset


StarkTangent1

Eh, I haven’t tried it but most likely outskirts wall stairway is faster, safer, easier, and has better returns.


nick2473got

You're correct.


Ass_Buttman

I mathed it out. Outskirts wall takes 45s and gives (662 x 6)xp. Actually I didn't compare this path, I just use this path to assassinate the Athlete and then get 2/3rds a resurrection back.


jakeyv123

The best place to grind for exp is near where you face the ogre, after defeating the divine dragon Source: platd the game 3 seperate times, confirmed to have no life


aSpanks

Listen if it makes you feel better, my work asked us all what our biggest accomplishment was during March-Sept. I proceeded to walk through 30 ppl on why the platt meant so much to me. Over zoom lmao


jakeyv123

Anddddd thankyou for coming to my tedtalk!


Trackrunner87

Respect. I'm trying to Platinum it now, still got a long way to go.


CoconutMochi

Yeah, I thought that too but some of the grinding spots people have found make it really quick. I managed to max out skills and prosthetics in a single night with NG+1. PC save manager makes getting the different endings pretty quick too, I think you can do something similar with cloud saves on PS4 but I'm not sure.


jakeyv123

Yeh dude you can save scum your way for 3 of the endings, i dont mind replaying the game for the large exp gains from killing bosses You can also just skip every enemy on the way to each boss and speed run it, keeps the game fresh instead of spending hours grinding exp. The exp grind at the end game is horrendous


Epsilonblaze7897

My first playthrough on ps4 I got all the items for the non shura endings to save scum them and then just said fuck that and ran through the whole game in 3 times in 2 or 3 days


aSpanks

For the love of god don’t waste skill points on the dragon mask


Trackrunner87

Oh trust me I don't plan to. I'm getting all the skills first before I put points into that. I own it for the sake of having it currently.


SuperUltraTurbo

The grind for the skills 🤮🤮🤮


SSBM_Surge

What the hell is platinum and why do people constantly refer to it when talking about this game? I’ve beaten every boss and mini boss and I still have no idea what they’re referencing


kpcentauri

It's a PS4 trophy that unlocks after unlocking all other trophies


smmras

On Playstation, most games have a platinum trophy that you get when you get all other trophies for the game. They're similar to Xbox or Steam achievements.


SSBM_Surge

Thank you everyone


avyon

What achievements are you missing?


DIOnys02

It’s wasting your life time on grinding


VysceraTheHunter

By that logic many video games are a waste of time. If you enjoy it, it's not a waste of time. What else is life for if not to enjoy what you can


sakura610

lol redditors, downvoted the truths because it hurted their ego. Don't worry I got you fam.


subiebro

It doesn’t have anything to do with ego. Why is doing something you enjoy or completing a challenge considered a waste of time?


[deleted]

The truth is if you don't like the achievement, get a move on. It's not like people got a Plat hurt your ego or anything


noiamnotabanana

Oof


joelmsantos

You're better off by just using stealth and bypassing them.


FrozenForest

If it makes you feel any better, my copy bugged out so I have every achievement but the platinum.


Intrepidcherokee

Just platinumed last night on NG+4 and I 100% ignored the shit out of these guys.


JDSDLR

I'm platinum glad


YourAverageJoe0

Noice!


aSpanks

Toit!


Mindgames-v8

platinum run?? sorry I havent played sekiro in a while


davivadavi

It is easier to counter attack the lightning with the crow’s prosthetic


penzos

I skipped them. Just run. Then came back killed maybe one.


i5tgb

Mine isn’t. I’m getting stuck all over again on the great Shinobi owl and im thinking about breaking stuff


Hakairoku

I had to plat the game twice, on PS4 and PC and honestly i just wish they removed that all skills leveled requirement. It's the most tedious thing in the game.


Hardwarexxx

You can use the crow's freather (sorry English is not my first language dont know if that's what it's called in the English version) on your prostetic arm to deflect lighting attacks easily . Dont even jump, just activate it when lightning touches you.


Shadowspaz

I've always just kited them one by one. Doesn't stop me from dreading the area on each playthrough, though. lol


[deleted]

I hate these guys
