Suffering in Sekiro! -Part20: Marrying a STRAW MAN? And TRUE MONK is quite literally TRUE SUFFERING!
UFONman SUFFERING In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice! This will be a slow ongoing playthrough of the game and (possibly) the first one in the "Suffering In Soulslike" series... Suffering, because I totally suck at them!
I've played Sekiro only once when it was released in 2019, so it has been over 5 years since then. I've seen some gameplay videos after that, but it's been a while and that definitely doesn't amount to skill in FROMSOFT games. I really suck at these types of games (I have bad reaction times, bad at adapting to patterns, bad timing and basically I rage at everything), but I still very much enjoy playing them and stubbornly getting through them. Using a gamepad, playing the 60FPS Steam version and doing english commentary.
This will be a test to see if this type of playthrough/suffering series will work out. If it does and doesn't take insane amounts of time to complete, I will consider playing more soulslikes... like maybe Dark Souls, Nioh and the like. As usual I will try to find all the lore, do every side thing and sidequest, while exploring everywhere which will lengthen the playthrough CONSIDERABLY. If lots of snooping and looking around isn't your cup of tea (like how a completionist would play), you shouldn't watch it. I need to also remind that the game is VERY HARD and this playthrough will most certainly consist of lots of raging and swearing, so don't watch if that is a problem for you. We'll see if I rage so hard that I break something... like my face to a wall, which is the most likely thing to happen. If you like the content subscribe, like or comment... or not, it's up to you!
00:00 Now that I healed Dragonrot, I can get SCULPTOR DRUNK!
04:55 So Emma, how do we save Kuro?
10:55 You stalking me, you creep?!
11:20 You'd think Sculptor would be really wasted by now?
14:00 I'm pretty sure this is the only way to get one of the endings
19:25 Talking with the thief guy from the beginning
23:10 I don't think I can finish this thief guy quest
24:00 It is time to get married... to A HUGE STRAW MAN!?
26:40 Ahh, the mistshrouded mountain...
27:50 It is... THE TRUE CORRUPTED MONK! And she means business...
32:25 Surely the second try will not end in failure?
37:35 Third time's the charm, right? RIGHT?!?
40:35 True Corrupted Monk is TRUE SUFFERING AND INSANITY melted into one body!
41:50 Change of tactics for the FOURTH TRY!
44:50 Well, that didn't really help... but maybe on the FIFTH try?
50:10 Not even mad btw!
50:45 But Sekiro will NEVER GIVE UP (sixth try)!
54:20 I feel like this guy has lots of pent up rage and aggression...
55:45 Dragon's Tally Board? New items? I need to go see...
57:20 So this is the Fountainhead Palace area... Very nice view!
