It’s hard to compare Sekiro and Dark Souls difficulty since they’re completely different. Sekiro is much faster and Datk Souls is more methodical but each is punishing in that frame work. Most important thing to learn in Sekiro is to stand your ground. Second most important is to recognize your healing windows and what you need to in the interim. If you don’t do those two you’ll get destroyed. Doing a NG+10 with no charm and bell on. For most people I’d wager Sekiro will more difficult before Genichiro and easier than DS after. He’s your skill check the end game flows from. Apparently a lot of people struggle with both owl fights which I can kinda see in NG+ or a run without Kuros charm but on normal runs where your posture is more stable he is insanely easy to me with easy to read telegraphs and no hard to counter perilous moves.

I just beat it. I did the purification ending, beat all bosses except Isshin (saving him for new game).. My last two games beat are Lies of P and Sekiro. I’m feeling like a Gamer God

I’ve done a full 180 on my Fromsoft game play. My first game was Bloodborne which I started/stopped for a 2 yr period. I hated it until it clicked and learned dodge attack. Became a FS fanboy. Then having to learn parry / block absolutely sucked, not my play style. Till beating these last two games..

All that to say I am torn on picking up my Elden Ring play b/c of upcoming DLC. I’m about 1/2 way through w/ a very strong samurai bleed build but have not played in over a year (got bored). I think I want to NG Sekiro but part of me wants to finish ER. I can’t parry in ER so would have to go back to dodge.. Ugh..? Going back to just beat Sekiro mindset
