Don't expect this to become a sort of new series on Gamersyde, the kind you'd entitle "Here's how a below average player can beat a boss in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", but we have another boss fight video to share in glorious 4K. It might not be the most impressive display of skills, but we killed the b**** anyway so yippee ki-yay!

I absolutely expect you to make videos of your progress, if not for bosses, at least for certain locations. Serious question:
Would you be willing to stream the game like Gamersyde live?
I really don't care if it's in French or English.

Almost felt like the game put him on Turbo mode. To make matters worse, it's in a very confined place, so you couldn't get away from him enough to heal.
Then there's those eyes something enemies in a toxic place, I died so many times there that it triggered that scene about the world - being vague to avoid spoilers. Same with that damn ogre.
Those 3 were the ones that most gave me trouble so far, I feel like the bosses telegraph their moves much more clearly than the mini-bosses, which are also fast as hell and some are almost downright cheating type of unfair.
Best thing is to get the timing of deflecting attacks correctly, once you do, the rest is just being calm under pressure. That bastard at the Fort is like that, you just have to keep deflecting like a madman and getting 1 hit every so often, it's a painful slog, but you defeat him eventually.

I'm using it and have many supplies, though I hoard them for cases like the wolverine claw at the Fort and bosses. Best strategy is to not use any items the first few times.
Not even attacking them, just keep defending, deflecting, jumping and dodging, see what works, what doesn't and then try attacking it and see how far you can damage it before you die. After a few tries, then you use the items.
And only the ones you know will help, like if the enemy's attacks deal a lot of damage, use items to take less damage, if your attacks are dealing too little damage, strengthen your attacks, but there's no need to use items that won't help with that particular enemy.
There's also YouTube videos and guides with tips if you don't mind going that route. I'm doing my first run mostly blind, but after I'm done, I will look at other people's strategies for NG+, see if I missed anything, etc.
