"Yay, I've finally beaten it!"

Music swells, choir begins chanting in Latin, boss' corpse begins to float and glow

I don’t remember which boss it was but when I was first playing Sekiro I finally beat this boss and the motherfucker comes back to life in a renewed form. Maaan it pissed me up so much for a second, then I got scared but then a bit after that it was actually a good challenge

It felt really good repeatedly kicking the part of the boss that took me so long to beat at first.

Sword Saint Isshin (final boss) does this... Guardian Ape as well, after you decapitate it.

Fuck, I love that game.

Final boss did it as well but I think the first time it was with Lady Butterfly? Is that her name.

The boss at the end of the first dream sequence

Fuck she really kicked my ass the first time around

And yea it’s the only souls game that I played but it’s really an amazing game. Hooked me in a different way to all other games.

Yeah you're right... That was a really tough fight the first time for sure. Sekiro is amazing in that it's like riding a bike. You can not play it for a year, fire it up, and beat Lady Butterfly on the first try because it's burned into your memory.

So many amazing fights. Owl might be my favorite, so much fun. And yeah, I played Dark Souls from the first game, and Bloodborne and they never clicked for me... But Sekiro did it, and it unlocked something in me, and now I fucking love all of those games.

But Sekiro will always have a special place in my heart. In my top 5 of all time for sure.

It's my favourite soulslike and my overall favourite game. I've got like 6 or 7 playthroughs under my belt, with the bell rung and without Kuro's charm top

Yeah it's one of my favorite games of all time, and my favorite From Software game. I'd love a sequel.
