did you talk to Emma after killing owl?

Elder Lee Hung

So which Owl boss did you fight? Lol

Elder Lee Hung

But yes totally agree, Sekiro combat is peak FROM and Elden Shit can’t compare

Blackbeard

@MonochromeYoru IIRC yes but there was no special dialogue? I do regret wasting several sake drinks on the hag when Isshin was just few meters away.

Blackbeard

@Elder Lee Hung Great Shinobi Owl

I'm aware there is another harder Owl encounter but I have yet to find it.

MonochromeYoru

don't kill the main boss in fountainhead palace. that will lock out the path to the other owl.

Blackbeard

Ichimonji double and the skill that allows using arts mid-air made Owl and the monk significantly easier than they should, you get constant posture regen.

Also getting a free deathblow on the Corrupt Monk from the tree branch jump kind of defeated the purpose of him having three deathblow bars to me.

Blackbeard

@MonochromeYoru

I have yet to dive into the underwater cave, thanks for saving me there.

MonochromeYoru

you gonna try to find the other owl on your own? i don't wanna spoil if you are

Blackbeard

@MonochromeYoru I assume you have to trigger something with the sculpture? Because I vividly remember getting spoiled by someone fighting him in a burning area, so I went to Hirata where you first meet him yet nothing is there.

Blackbeard

I won't look up anything until I absolutely feel hopeless though.

Elder Lee Hung

@Blackbeard if you’re like me, you’ll need YouTube to find owl father because that shit is his hidden af, but it is the superior Owl fight and the second best in the game imo.

Blackbeard

Owl 1st fight is my favorite up to this point in story, you telling me there is a better encounter?

I will pause fountainhead and search for the other one...

Elder Lee Hung

Yes, Owl Father is the superior Owl battle. Great Shinobi Owl is like a tutorial for Owl Father.

If you do the Gauntlets of Strength after you beat the game, there are three “Inner” boss fights including Inner Genichiro and Inner Owl. They are basically the same fights but with some added moves. I wouldn’t say they are better or worse than the ordinary fights, they are just of the same quality really.

Blackbeard

@Elder Lee Hung @MonochromeYoru

I got the father bell.

Can I now beat the game and still be able to fight Owl?

Elder Lee Hung

I’m not sure tbh. I would fight Owl first. He is not as hard as the final two bosses anyway so this is a good place for him.
