I’m working on my first playthrough of Sekiro right now but I’m kinda stuck. Corrupted Monk just takes so little damage from my attacks I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong.
I haven't played for years, but from what I remember, the posture damage is shit. There are moments where the Corrupted Monk is open after an attack I think. This is the moment to strike.
Edit: it took me back haha, but there are those big attacks where you have a red symbol over your head, you dodge that attack and strike.
Corrupted monk is one of the tougher fights. When I beat it the first time, I was just chipping away like you, and it took me forever.
You can speed it up by parrying as much as possible to stance break.
Yeah I’m pretty bad at partying in general. Working on it though enjoying the game so far?
I fought with it the whole time on my first run too. It was too hard to unlearn all my dark souls muscle memory.
Corrupted monk has a lot of health. It helps to use Divine Confetti and maybe Akos Sugar. I rarely deal enough posture damage on him without depleting his health bar.
Oh I didn’t think confetti would work. I should give that a try.
The divine confetti might only work on the spirit version. Still other consumables may help.
Divine confetti works on all enemies it just gives a bit extra damage on top of it's standard boost to apparitions.
Well it's actually easy, just parry all their attacks and deal damage when they are not attacking /s
You've already got this far, so you'll do it.
There are also ninja tricks that make this fight trivial.
Any tips on which ninja tricks to try using?
Using firecracker, snap seeds(up to 3 times) or ash you can stun lock her to the death, use divine confetti to deal lots of damage to her.
Be aware snap seeds are a limited resource until after the >!True Corrupted Monk!< fight, which is both optional/missable and also exists near the very end of the game.
You can allegedly farm them off some monkeys in Sunken Valley but you're going to be spending an awful lot of time there for minimal returns, the drop rate sucks.
