- It has been six years since Sekiro was released, and around 70% of the players still haven’t managed to defeat the final boss.
- There is an alternative final boss of the Shura ending, Isshin Ashina, who is also still undefeated by over 80% of players.
- These two bosses are unforgiving and require a lot of training and patience.
Sekiro is arguably one of the most challenging games to ever exist in the history of gaming, and of course, one of the most fun ones. There has not been a single game out yet that can rival the combat of this game.
Sekiro having the best combat in gaming history is not a reach, as the fandom 100% agrees. However, despite having such a fun and addictive combat, the game’s challenging nature remains the same. It has been six years since this title was released in the wilds, and 70% of its players have yet to defeat the Isshin, the Sword Saint.
Why it matters: Unlike other souls-like games, in Sekiro, you can’t cheese the bosses. There are some cheesy tactics, but unironically, they are more difficult than fighting the actual boss.
Sekio, Game of the Year 2019, has caused many gamers to rage quit. This game has a learning curve, so if you spend enough time playing it, you are sure to get better at it. The rhythm of parrying the opponent, the satisfaction of finally defeating an enemy who seemed impossible to beat, are unparalleled.
However, it seems like the final challenge of the game, one of the hardest bosses to ever exist in video games, The Isshin, the Sword Saint, has proven to be an impossible task for nearly 70% of Sekiro’s players. Not only that, but over 80% of the players couldn’t defeat Isshin Ashina, a different version of the boss.
While the Sword Saint is extremely difficult, there are many who found Isshin Ashina more challenging. You can encounter the latter if you choose the Shura ending.
It is surprising that, even after six years, players are still unable to overcome this challenge. While there aren’t many cheesy tactics in the game, the final boss made many players play extremely defensively.
One of the famous YouTubers, Penguinz0, also resorted to this tactic. He ran up to the boss, hit him once, and did a “strategic retreat”.
What do you think about the fact that the majority of the players have not defeated two of the hardest bosses in Sekiro? Have you defeated both of them? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or join the official Tech4Gamers forums for discussion.
