Mini-Bosses in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice are special enemies that are typically much more challenging than normal enemies. They have a host of different attacks, some of which you cannot deflect, making them deadly. These Enemies do not respawn once killed, and they drop some of the best loot in the game.

Man, really is baffling how Sekiro has the best main boss design in the series yet 90% of the minibosses are extremely unfun to fight, too simplistic to really be interesting to fight, or surrounded by so many trash mobs that you spend most of the "fight" just picking off all their friends before you can even fight the miniboss. Only one that really stands out to me is O'Rin but even then she could definitely be a much better fight

I don't know how they put annoying low skill cheeselords in a single player game, but they did it. And then they gave them two health bars.

Shirahagi and Shirafuji seemed to have their placements mixed up here. Shirahagi is labeled as guarding the Gunfort, despite that role belonging to Shirafuji.

Just beat General a-hole. I've played all the Dark Souls and this game is mad tough. Reflexes have to be on cue like crazy...also when I see that swipe unblockable move coming my quick reflex makes me jump away instinctively instead of at the guy to kick his head and take a swipe, working on overriding that now. God Speed

While it's very clever to make it so that every page referencing Snake Eyes Shirafuji auto-redirects to the Shirahagi page: the Wiki *still* needs to be changed so that the Snake Eyes Shirafuji page and tempalte aren't redirects. The enemies are incredibly similar, yeah; but *each* mini-boss has their own unique page even if they share character models and similar movesets.

There should be separate pages for Shirahagi and Shirafuji, just as there are separate pages for Tokujiro and Juzou + every other mini-boss that is shares the same model but is fought in a different place.

After you defeat Owl at the top of the castle, eavesdrop on Kuro from in the library where he was standing before when you were getting the incense items, then talk to Emma. Rest at a sculpture, go behind the temple where the Sculptor is residing and eavesdrop on the conversation between him and Emma, and talk to her again. She'll give you a second bell that will change the estates. <- Another mini-boss, also 2 prayer beads there.

The purple ninja should be a mini-boss, he was harder than most mini-bosses

I dunno if it's up here or not, but there seems to be a boss in the big pond behind Ashina castle. I can't find a way to lure it out, but you can lock onto it besides the 2 eels in the pond with it

Theres a miniboss in the bridge area after the shinobu hunter, you get there by swimming and then jumping up some walls.
I feel sorry for using fistful of ash and oil+flame to cheese most mini-bosses
