FromSoftware, the developer of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, has decided to draw inspiration from its ninja stealth game, Elden Ring, for some upcoming downloadable content (DLC). This decision was made despite the fact that the combat in Elden Ring and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice do not make for a comparison that is like apples to apples. This is due to the fact that Elden Ring and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice share a significant amount of continuity and connection between them. The result of this drawing from previous experience could help the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC to impact the entire game as it reworks a specific type of retaliation that had been limited to Wolf up until now. This type of retaliation had previously been available only to Wolf. Until recently, only Wolf could take advantage of this particular form of retaliation. Before not too long ago, Wolf was the only one who could take advantage of this specific method of retaliation. Transferring one of Wolf's abilities from Sekiro into Elden Ring, most likely in the form of a new Ash of War but possibly also in the form of a katana with a more narrowly defined purpose, could also help to address a criticism that was leveled against the more recent game when it was first released.

This criticism was directed toward the game's difficulty level, which was considered to be too high. This criticism was directed at the game's difficulty level, which, in the opinion of some players, was too challenging for them to handle. It is possible that this could help make Elden Ring significantly more reactive, as it would give the player the ability to directly counter certain attacks if the timing was correct. If this were to happen, it would make Elden Ring significantly more interesting. Specifically, this has the potential to assist in making Elden Ring significantly more reactive.

Sekiros Legendary Mikiri CounterBecause it gives players a reliable defense against thrusting attacks that are normally unblockable and would otherwise require them to disengage from the current fight otherwise, the Mikiri Counter has emerged as a central topic of discussion in relation to Sekiro. This is because it offers players a way to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise require them to disengage from the fight. In relation to the game, this is one of the primary reasons why it has developed into such a popular topic of discussion in recent times. Fishing for these same thrusting attacks becomes an important strategy once you have unlocked the Mikiri Counter in Sekiro. This is because many of the best bosses in the game use this type of attack. This is due to the fact that in addition to the damage it does to the body, it also does a significant amount of damage to the posture. The additional posture damage that is inflicted by a variant of the Mikiri Counter is the factor that has the potential to contribute to Elden Ring's progression potential if it is introduced during the Shadow of the Erdtree downloadable content. This damage could be inflicted by a variant of the Mikiri Counter.

 

One of the most likely ways that the Mikiri Counter could be implemented is either through the Ash of War skills that can be found on Elden Rings or by including Wolf's Kusabimaru as a one-of-a-kind weapon that already has the skill attached to it

 

  • This would be one of the most likely ways that the Mikiri Counter could be implemented

  • There is a very good chance that either of these two scenarios will play out

  • These two hypotheses do not contradict one another in any way

  • After that, the Mikiri Counter could function in a manner that is comparable to that of a good number of the other parries that are already available to players

  • On the other hand, it would expand the range of attacks that could be defended against utilizing this particular ability

  • This may go a long way toward making the bosses from the base game as well as the new bosses added in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC more manageable for melee builds

  • These bosses were added in the DLC that was released alongside the base game

  • Taking into consideration the large number of enemies in Elden Ring that cannot be parried in their current forms, this has the potential to be a significant step toward achieving that objective



It is possible that it would be a good idea to include a reference to Sekiro in Elden Ring by making the ability a defining trait of a Kusabimaru in particular. They would appreciate it if the developer gave a nod to the game that got them interested in the developer in the first place, which was Sekiro, because there are a lot of fans who got their start with Sekiro before moving on to Elden Ring, and they are the ones who would appreciate it the most. This is as a result of the fact that FromSoftware's new releases consistently bring in a greater number of new players than their earlier releases did. Fans of FromSoftware's games are known to eagerly grab each new release as soon as it is made available, and as a result of this, a reference contained within the downloadable content (DLC) could be useful in helping to make the games feel more connected to one another than they do currently.

Better CountersWith the help of the Elden Ring, you can make the environment you're in more engaging and more participatory. The manner in which players are expected to respond to enemies and bosses while they are engaged in moment-to-moment combat is one facet of Elden Ring that, at the moment, even distinguishes it from other games. This is one of the most essential elements of the game to keep in mind. When playing Elden Ring, it is more important for players to commit patterns to memory than it is for them to respond to attacks as they come. This is the case even with the most interesting bosses the game has to offer. The bosses in Elden Rings add delays to their attacks, which adds an additional layer of rhythm that needs to be learned rather than reacted to. Learning this rhythm is more important than reacting to it. Because of this, it is more important to memorize the rhythm than it is to react to it as it is being played. Those who are familiar with the rest of the FromSoftware catalog, in which it is necessary for survival to learn boss patterns, may find this to be familiar.

Learning boss patterns is essential for survival in that game. However, because the bosses of Elden Rings add delays to their attacks, there is an additional layer of rhythm that must be learned in order to be effective. Rather than providing players with more opportunities to deflect attacks and deal massive amounts of stagger damage based on how they react to a boss moveset, it may be more beneficial to draw inspiration from Sekiro and implement a new parry that is analogous to the Mikiri Counter. This would allow players to take advantage of these opportunities more frequently. This would be something that would be possible to achieve thanks to the fact that the new parry would be based on the Mikiri Counter. This could have a dual impact, providing players with more opportunities to hard counter more attacks while also opening the door for the development of skills that make more efficient use of the stagger system. Alternatively stated: this could give players more opportunities to hard counter more attacks. The players have something to gain from either of these outcomes. This could serve a dual purpose as an incentive if taken into consideration. Even the final boss of Sekiro can be vanquished by using the Mikiri Counter, so it should not come as a surprise that more opportunities to counter do not make the bosses in FromSoftware's games overly simplistic or boring.
