Dude you seriously don't need to The only way you're running out is if you learn literally nothing throughout the entire game
You just used worst by itself. You didn't add how it was the worst. We can't read minds. Worst design? Worst in difficulty? Worst boss stage? Everyone probably has a different opinion on it. If you said "Blazing Bull is such a poorly designed fight" that would have been one thing, but just saying "Blazing bull is the worst" can be taken so many different ways, don't get pissy at people for taking what you said and running with it because they had nothing else to go off of.
Worst, as in bad. As in the opposite of best.
It's a vague term when you don't explain why you think it's the worst.
Yeah I get where you're going with this and I didn't mean to make a reply to you that sounded like "it's easy here's how" but I genuinely wasn't sure which way you were taking "Worst" with. It could be "worst to fight" or "worst design" or another variation of it but yeah, so far, I would agree he's the least interesting and most boring boss design.

So what's the best place to farm sen? I'm kinda finding Mibu Village to be a decent place since the enemies tend to be grouped up and respawn fairly frequently. Been popping Balloons of Wealth and netting about 500 sen per run. Anyone know any other better alternatives? I think I'm still mid-game at the moment.
idk i associate worst with bad and because it's a game relates it towards design in my head. Missing 4 prayer beads and I have no clue whatsoever where they could be
The blazing bull is just the inverse of the mechanical bull from dark souls 1. Instead of an easy as sin fight where the only thing you do is draw the enemy into an obstacle and let it die, here, your only option is to fight the enemy and whittle down its health yourself.

Hmm, doesn't sound like an area I've discovered yet. I'll be sure to keep that in mind when I do find it. Thanks!
Any boss I die to is the worst boss. My least favorite bosses thus far have been ones that don't have many windows of opporitunity and force you to wait or deflect for long periods. I'd say the actual worst is the butt ripper, due to him slowing you. Ifthe slow effect is applied to you, you can't jump or dodge when he does the butt grab, so it becomes unavoidable. Otehrwise it isn't a hard fight.
you can't be calling blazing bull the worst boss when long-arm centipede giraffeexists. it has two attacks. it feels like they didn't have enough development time for a proper miniboss so they just slapped a regular enemy in a cramped room. it doesn't even make sense thematically for the area! it's so obnoxious that they placed it literally three seconds from a bonfire.
Long-arm giraffe is at least easy to kill and doesn't have a fuck ton of health/posture.
I think I'm only mid-way through the game at the moment, but the only boss so far that's really gotten on my nerves is Snake-Eyes, and it's only a mini-boss. That damn grab attack keeps connecting even when I jump away half the time.
the headless are made way easier with one of the whistle upgrades too that affects apparations
Good news. You get to fight another one later.
i swear that the damage on their attacks is actually broken. they do more damage in a single swipe than a lot of actual bosses.
Yeah I know, already had the misfortune of finding 'em. But hilariously enough the second encounter was easier 'cuz I was able to sneak up on 'em and get a free deathblow.
oh god the red eyes version of the samurai miniboss caught me off guard. 2 prayer beads to go
Does anyone know what the point of Vault Over is? It lets you jump over a posture broken enemy and do a stealth kill on them, but if they're posture broken you can already do a deathblow. I don't get it.
You can do double death blows with it if timed right, so you can get two enemy in one go. It also enables you to vault over some bosses.
There's an ability that allows you to do a second deathblow after a backstab, so using Vault Over + Backstab instead of a regular Deathblow lets you kill another enemy for free.
Well that just went from the least interesting ability to the most interesting one.
What do you mean learn nothing? You mean dying too often? Ive ran into 2 so far when reaching the gunpowder pass area.
For anyone lategame wanting to farm fulminated mercury there's a good spot at Ashina Outskirts- Stairway, can grapple to the tower, backstab, drop down and chain backstab everything else towards the bridge.
It also allows you to use a ninjutsu on backstab which is very helpful
You can only use ninjutsu from a backstab, that's why vault over exists.

hm I believe there is potentially missable prayer beads at certain points as the story progresses. Missing 2 and I've no clue anymore and I've cleared each zone without rest so i can explore numerous times and I honestly feel like there must be 2 i missed between the first time the castle progresses and the second.
