I just beat him!
That was... epic. Watching the credits roll, can't quite believe I finally got him. It's taken over a week dammit!
I put it on tonight, farmed some confetti, and went at it. Got him to final phase for the first time - and promptly went over the cliff edge. Jeezus.
Ran out of emblems, ran out of confetti, went at it the old fashioned way - chipping away, healing where I could, and learning which moves to keep away from and which ones to punish.
Didn't get greedy at the end either, even when he had a sliver left - stood back and waited for best moment.
I might just have taken a stupid route to do this and made it even harder than it had to be, but got it in the end, without using my 13 skill points.
Urg I can sleep now.
Congrats!
When you wake up, you can load up NG+ and start doing it all over again for the other 3 endings!
I did nothing yesterday cuz I came home from practice late. The whole week looks to be pretty busy, don't expect I'll get to do more than grind for some Mercury.
Thanks, maybe just mop up first game area and farm a little before hitting ng!
Thinking about it this morning, it's a bit of a flaw the way the emblems work, as although they're not too hard to get hold of, after several attempts at a boss, you're definitely going to need more. Which means leaving the boss, just as you're getting into it.
Which ultimately lead to me having to leave all my cool prosthetic items that probably would have been great to use at the end, as I had nothing to power them.
What would have been really useful is an item that let's you use skills like mortal draw in the non-emblem powered form. MD still works without emblems; it just lacks the range and power of the powered version but it still destroys Genichiro faster than anything else. But if you're carrying emblems for the Isshin fight, MD chews through them before you get there.
Ceremonial Tanto is good, but only for a few uses, and you really need all the health you can get at the end.
Be interesting to see how NG goes now I know how to kill everything; also I might just work through using all the different prosthetics I've got now.
Awesome game, glad I hit the ending though, it really bugs me when I hit a wall like that!

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.
