Are you facing a tough challenge in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice? One of the most formidable bosses you’ll encounter is Isshin the Sword Saint. This skilled warrior will put your combat skills to the test. But fear not, in this guide, we will help you master the art of defeating Isshin the Master. Let’s dive in!

Understanding Isshin’s Attacks

Before we discuss specific strategies, it is important to have a clear understanding of Isshin’s attack patterns. This will help you react quicker and anticipate his moves.

  • First Phase: In this phase, Isshin will primarily use his katana for both medium and long-range attacks. He may also incorporate some perilous thrusts which require careful timing to counter.
  • Second Phase: Once you’ve depleted Isshin’s health in the first phase, he will pull out a spear. This phase introduces new attack patterns such as long-range thrusts and lightning attacks.
  • Third Phase: As Isshin’s health nears depletion, he undergoes a transformation, donning his iconic armor and revealing his true power. In this phase, he becomes more aggressive, incorporating a mix of sword and spear attacks while occasionally using his flame vent prosthetic tool.

Recommended Strategies

Now that you have a grasp of Isshin’s attacks, let’s discuss some effective strategies to defeat him:

  • Phase 1: During this phase, focus on deflecting Isshin’s attacks to build up his posture meter. Be cautious of his perilous thrusts and perform a perfect deflection to deal significant posture damage.
  • Phase 2: Isshin’s spear attacks can be challenging. Maintain a moderate distance and bait him into performing his punishable thrust attack. Dodge to the side and perform a counter attack to inflict valuable damage.
  • Phase 3: As Isshin dons his armor, utilize your combat arts and prosthetic tools. Use the Mikiri counter skill to counter his spear thrusts. When he performs his flame vent attack, sidestep and unleash a flurry of blows to disrupt his rhythm.

Timing is Key

In the battle against Isshin, timing is everything. Perfecting your deflect technique is crucial, as it will not only protect you from his attacks but allow you to quickly build up his posture meter for a deathblow. Practice your timing in the early phases of the game to sharpen your reflexes.

Don’t Be Discouraged

Remember, Isshin the Sword Saint is one of the most challenging bosses in Sekiro. Be prepared for numerous attempts before you emerge victorious. Each failed attempt is an opportunity to learn and improve. Stay persistent and don’t let frustration discourage you!

Good luck on your journey to defeat Isshin the Master. May your blade strike true and your reflexes be sharp!
