Lone Shadow Longswordsman | Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Wiki

I find his dialogue quite funny, i could imagine Sekiro saying "that wolf guy? Yeah screw him"

Submit

HAHA YES CORNER RAPE WHILE CAMERA GOES BRRRRRR I HECKIN LOVE DARK SOULS OF CAMERA ANGLES

Submit

so looks like attacking him from the 2nd hole for 1 posture bar and then spamming axe prosthetic made the fight trivial.

Submit

flog the guy who allowed this arena!

Submit

least favorite enemy in the game. reskin the annoying ninja guarding the raven prosthetic and put in in a little room. great idea.

Submit

I some how defeated first try

Submit

Ashina Cross seems very effective on this guy. Deathblowed him from above then took him out with only Ashina Cross. I remember dodging like a mad man on my first playthrough to beat him.

Submit

Deathblow him once then, then just do your normal deflect and attack. Personally used Shadowrun, which made this fight relatively trivial. Albeit the camera here is actual garbage and I had no idea where I was half the time.

Submit

Wish we got this dude's skin instead of that ugly metal armour

Submit

Mist Raven is what saved me from this guy because I kept getting cornered. MR allowed me to escape back to the center and heal when I needed.

Submit

the real challenge is BEING ABLE TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE

Submit

Didn't find this guy until after folding screen monkeys, so I absolutely obliterated him hitless lol

Submit

why tf does it say he's voiced by ricepirate? i couldnt find anything on that lol

Submit

capra demon

Submit

Thank you to that random anon who gave that really helpful tip of alternating between hitting once and blocking once, worked like a charm against this type of enemy

Submit

Ah, my missing prayer bead

Submit

Him calling me a coward and then changing his mind when I didn't backstab or plunge attack him was a surefire way to make sure I would never do it on any of the subsequent attempts

Submit

Beat him once but there's no XP Gain!!

Submit

worst arena of all time

Submit

arena needs to be bigger. camera breaks if you aren't dead in the center

Submit

use the Geniichiro method

Block once, attack once, block once, attack once....

Submit

img cannot found..! :(

Submit

Use dodge attacks. Seriously. Play him like you would a Bloodborne boss and he goes down very quickly.

Submit

I just missed the sneal attack and cheesed him super easily through both health bars.
My VIT: 13
ATK: 3

Recipe: Whirlwind slash, immediately jump (NOT DODGE) backwards, rinse and repeat. I had to heal quite a bit, but that was mostly due to my own sloppiness. Best of luck! -Casual

Submit

the very first boss that shows how absolutely ****ing cancer can be combination of horrible camera in FS games and tight arena on top of no Iframes and complete collision block from this guy

Submit

The suggestion to use the axe is correct. I munched an Ungo's Sugar, stealthed him from above, and then just wailed on him with the axe prosthetic. Made sure to juke out of the way of the one perilous attack he threw my way, maxed out his posture bar with maybe four or five axe swings, and then got him with the second deathblow. You gotta keep on him or else is posture will recover, just wail on that RT until he's stunned.

Submit

Okay, so finally beat this guy after 10+ tries.
A couple pieces of advice for first runners, if you fail the jump sneak attack you can lure him down the corridor and escape to deaggro him and use a sneak attack while he’s walking back.
The most important thing though do your best to stay near the middle of the wider room and don’t let him push you into a corner or fight him in the corridor because then the camera gets really annoying.
I know most people have mentioned how bad the camera is but still…
Good luck guys

Submit

****ing awful arena

Submit

I ****ing love this guy's design, it's so elegant

Submit

This guy is harder than the damn ape. My trick to beat him ended up being the axe. Poise through his hyper armor kicks and quickly fill up his posture.

Submit

this arena is worse than the long arm centipede giraffe one.

Submit

Think my copy of the game has a bug that affects this fight. Can't do any kind of deathblow on him until I aggro him. It doesn't really throw me off or anything, if anything it makes the fight kinda funny cuz he calls me a bastard when I put some dirt in his eye, but I figured it might be worth noting.

Submit

When first time I learned I can mikiri his leg thrust I beated his a** to ground the next try. Still he has the hardest thrust to parry(I don't even know if you even could) for parry only runs.

Submit

This is mainly a fight against the camera angle, not the actual guy himself

Submit

how to access him after the invation

Submit

Beat this guy first time cause I found out you can mikiri counter his kick. It's really easy to see coming, combine that with the stealth drop and he's not that hard. For first time players I can see it being tough without stealth deathblowing him for half his health, but in the end of the day the job of a shinobi is to win.

Submit

The image gallery for Lone Shadow Longswordsmen sends me to a 404 page, fix please?

Submit

This guy cracks me up. He went all the way over to the starting area because he heard Sekiro was being a big wimp, and he wanted to see for himself.

Submit

My dumbass thought of talking to him the second time thinking he may not be hostile despite having an HP bar and two circles

Submit

He's so cool!

Submit

He is not physically even bothered by the axe or the spear, he deflects the spear automatically and just walks through my axe attack, is there anything that ACTUALLY phases this guy or what?

Submit

Axe did nothing, also couldn't find him as a reg enemy, only the mini boss with two bars

Submit

Funny enough you can tank and spam Whirlwind Strike to chew up his health. -b187

Submit

All of this bull*****for SCRAP MAGNETITE? ***** you fromsoft

Submit

Nice camera, Fromsoft

Submit

This guy basically fights like the Interior ministry ninja, the one guarding the Mist Raven tool at the Hirata Estate. Only difference I noticed is that his killer heel drop move chains into a combo, compared to the estate ninja that only does it once. Even if you don't have the Firecrackers at this point, shuriken can be used to pin him down or interrupt his attacks and force him to block. His perilous sweep always comes from the right, so dodge to the left, his heel drop can be avoided by dashing under him and then keeping distance. Keep the pressure on him to build up his posture bar and use Mikiri counter as well, and he's as good as dead.

Submit

Firecrackers are much more of a weakness for him than literally any of the tools listed. Just go Firecracker Stun, Mortal Draw, dodge the kick, Mortal Draw, repeat till dead

Submit

He sounds pretty damn chill, at least when you read his quotes

Submit

The ones guarding mist raven and the one outside mibu village are just regular mooks you see later in the game. You don't call all of them lone shadow longswordsman.

Submit

If you’re struggling on this guy or any of the enemies/bosses like him I have one very useful tip I learned by accident. Their final kick in that long combo of kicks they do is actually a thrust and therefore can in fact be Mikiri Countered. It’s incredibly easy to do so as well.

Submit

where is this boss in mibu village? i'm pretty confused can't find any references to this anywhere else either.

Submit

Actually beat him the first time, even without a stealth deathblow (I not only screwed up the stealth deathblow, but him him and missed his dialogue) After beating my head on Genichiro for so long that I gave up, this guy was simple to parry. I wound up fighting the camera more than him--stay out of the corners or you'll be blind and he'll just keep beating on you.

Submit

How to access the boss locationa after the place is on fire? cant find that place anymore

Submit

Definitely use the Spring-load Axe Prosthetic Tool. Made this fight last 45 seconds.

Submit

Beat him my first try (somehow) I found like 90% jumping around instead of deflecting/dodging really helped, firecrackers, and the sugar that boosts attack. If he’s gonna jump I’m gonna jump too.

Submit

I dropped down and took one life from him, then immediately slammed him with the axe, and 2 sword strikes. That added 1/4 to his posture bar right off the bat. Then it was just a matter of attacking until it looked like he was almost out of range (from him backing up to try to kick) and then blocking 2-3 of his sword strikes then double jumping off him to cancel his perilous attack and I had him done in like 6 tries and he was almost full health still when I got the deathblow

Submit

The one in the reservoir is optional, you can bypass him by beating the Shichimen Warrior in the Abandoned Dungeon, or by following the path after acquiring the Dried Serpent Viscera.

Submit

You can actually Mikiri Counter his Perilous attack kick, just found this out by accident

Submit

He fights just like Sasuke. Uses only one arm with a sword and kicks a lot like a *****. Wears dark clothes too.

Submit

Fire helped me tame his vitality a little bit. You can use the ledge in either the pagoda or the well to anticipate his next movement is a jump to get on the ledge with you. During his jump you can charge up the flame vent or just be ready with the standard one when he lands. This doesn't make the fight any easier but it does help maintain any posture momentum you may have. Cheers

Submit

This Boss IS optional

Submit

This guy and any purple ninjas in this game is what it looks like when they turn sonic into a ninja..

Submit

he is optional.

Submit

Those purple robes light up real good. Drop from above for jolly plunge attack and then hit him with two bursts of the flame vent. Just relight the fires everytime they go out, should only take two more.

Submit

Pretty cool mini-boss. It's likely that this is the same person that guards a certain prostethic tool in Hirata Estate. His tiny arena makes the fight much harder, you need a solid grasp of dodging, deflecting, and timing if you want to beat this boss without cheesing.

Submit

Hands down one of the worst mini-bosses I have fought in this game

Submit

This guy has the (at least partially) same moveset as the shinobi by the Ashina Dojo Idol in Ashina Castle after the spoiler thing happens. I may be way farther into this game than most others as I only just got around to killing the Shichimen Warrior but practicing deflect timings is suuuuuper helpful.

Submit

If you sneak behind this guy, he says something about being sent to find a cowardly, immortal wolf. Talk to him a second time and he'll turn around, say something along the lines of "Oh, so you're that wolf, huh? You don't look all that cowardly! They say you're immortal, let's put that to the test." Startled the crap out of me when I wanted to read the dialogue again to post it here and the dude just turned on me. I love this game!

Submit

this has to be one of the most horrendous mini-boss fights in the game, holy*****. what makes this so bad is the fact that the devs thought that a swift and jumping character would fit well into a small area. I swear to god that I could have beat him 5 times already if it wasn't for this joke of a camera

Submit

Want to cheese him? Use spring-load flame vent. then run like a ***** till he stops burning and repeat.

Submit

he fromsoft? CAN WE FIX THE DAMN CAMERA. or at least give this guy a bigger arena?

Submit

Spamming Axe destroys him. ale sure you get the first jump critical.

Submit

2 hours to kill this honorable warrior, iam serious @_@

Submit

Somehow related to Dogan...anyone else notice he was missing a left arm?

Submit

This boss is optional since you can acces ashina depths via the sunken valley.

Submit

You can stealth deathblow him from above. Parry his attacks and dodge his kicks. The axe prosthetic also helped me out quite a lot to build up posture.

Submit

Another fight in which the camera is a bigger threat than the enemy.

Submit

You can attack him every time he jumps up and jumps down the small ledge and repeat, making this fight quite cheese-able.

Submit

The standard version in the Hirata flashback only drops Scrap Iron.

Submit

Mates, saying a fight is easy and then giving the reason for it being easy as "You can just dodge his attacks" is the most see-through troll I've ever seen. This fight isn't the hardest in the game, but it's a very difficult fight to due to the camera + fast attack mixed with kicks which quickly stagger you. It's one of the first fights that includes dodging, strafing, deflecting, and jumping in addition to attacking...saying "its ez lul kids" does not make you alpha, it's actually sad. Btw, there's a few that said it's easy, but actually gave the strategy they used and I respect that, you clapped this guy, kudos.

Submit

This guy is easy, probably one of the easier mini-boss in the game. My strategy: spam your axe till he die. Seriously, axe is surprisingly op. Many mini-bosses are weak to it

Submit

This guy sucks. However good the guy is, my camera deselects him every 10 seconds and I'm left auto-resetting my camera in every direction whilst he 1 hit kos me. This guy would be easy if they had bothered taking their god awful camera into consideration. Why is there no option to automatically select the nearest enemy and not reset camera?

Submit

If Pontiff sulyvahn and Champion Gundyr just combined into one thing and decided to live in Capra Demon's arena, this guy is that.

Submit

Sneak deathblow the guy for an easy first health bar and run back to the elevated floor area where he has to jump up. As he begins to jump up you should jump down. He’ll start swinging but he won’t really be able to reach you if you stay a bit back. Chip his health once he’s done swinging and if he jumps back down you should jump back up. Repeat til his health is gone

Submit

Leave a reply for why you down vote something. Maybe you're the problem not the strategy. :)

Submit

Try mist raven it's insanely easier with it.

Submit

Theres no way to drop down on him. He isnt standing beneath the hole.

Submit

Anyone saying this fight is easy is just trolling. They are lying.

Submit

JUMP don't drop for the deathblow.

Submit

Loaded spear with the thrust upgrade makes this fight easy if you want to cheese him

Submit

I accedentily skipped his dialogue... Does anyone know what hes saying when you talk to him?

Submit

The only hard thing about this fight is *****ing camera

Submit

You can kill him the way you kill the butterfly lady = dodge attack, dodge attack etc...

Submit

Tip: Deathblow from above then you use oil and flame vent to damage while avoiding him. Decided I would try to find a way to trivialize him and did. (Anon post but PSN: wightvoid)

Submit

How in the everliving ***** are you supposed to beat this garbage npc? Do you reach him when you're underleveled or what, you barely do damage to him and he can ***** your posture in a second.

Submit

there is a bug where you cant deathblow him from above
