Over the past month, I have fallen in love with the game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This sort of surprised me because I had given up on the game, as reflected by its replacement with Life is Strange on the “What I’m Reading, Watching, and Playing” section on this blog’s home page.

I gave up on the game because I couldn’t get past its first boss, Gyoubu Oniwa. But then something happened. My best friend, who had originally recommended the game to me, offered to help me beat Gyoubu. I agreed, and as I watched him play I learned crucial lessons about how I had been playing the game wrong. He ended up losing the fight, and handed the controller to me. I went to fight Gyoubu, and using all the lessons I had learned… I still lost.

But I won the fight on my second attempt. That felt great, and obviously way better than if I had simply let my best friend beat him for me. Winning the fight also gave me the confidence to continue the game. Every boss in the game could be beaten, and if I couldn’t win for some reason, I probably just needed to adjust how I was thinking about the fight. This only works because Sekiro‘s rules, while far less forgiving than other games, are ultimately fair.

Sekiro, like most combat games, is built on two principles: attack and defense. The goal of attacking is to bring the enemy closer to death. The goal of defending is to keep the enemy from bringing you closer to death. Most combat games revolve around knowing exactly when to switch between these two phases, the goal being to deal the maximum amount of damage to your enemy without taking damage yourself. Austin Hourigan creator of the Youtube web-series, The Science, discusses how this works in his video, The SECRET Rhythms of DARK SOULS. He is specifically talking about Dark Souls 3, but I believe the comparison holds true for most modern combat games.

“Dark Souls, at its heart, is a rhythm game, like Simon. The entire game is a conversation between you, the player, and the enemies in the game. You know, call and response. The enemy is like, ‘Hey bro. Red. Red!’ and you have to respond accordingly, the right way, or your face gets turned into mulch”

Essentially, enemies have behaviors that tell you exactly what they are going to do a few moments before they do it. In Sekiro, the Guardian Ape standing up straight and sucking in a huge breath of air is as good as saying, “Hey bro! Blue! I’m about to scream so loud that you’ll actually die if you’re too close.” When Genichiro Ashina takes a step back after attacking you, he may as well be saying “Yellow! Yellow! I’m going to jump in the air and try to shoot you with arrows. So get ready.” And when Isshin, the Sword Saint sheaths his sword and then get’s into position to draw it again he’s telling you, “Dude! Green! I’m about to attack you in the time it takes you to blink.”

But this is where Sekiro changes it up. Because the way most combat games work, when you see these signaling behaviors (usually called telegraphs), you either block the attack, dodge the attack, or parry (blocking within a specific timing window to stun an enemy, giving you time for a few extra hits). Defense usually feels like a detour from attacking. But Sekiro does things a little differently. Proficiency in both attack and defense is measured by the health bar and the posture bar respectively, and doing well with one can aid you in the other.

There are two ways to win any fight in Sekiro. Either reduce an enemy’s health to zero, or completely fill it’s posture bar (at which time the enemy will be vulnerable to a deathblow regardless of remaining health). An enemy’s Health bar goes down when they take damage from your attacks, and does not go up (unless there’s an exception that I’m forgetting). An enemy’s Posture bar fills up when you parry enemy attacks, and goes back down when the enemy is given a chance to rest. However, as an enemy’s health goes down, their posture increases faster and takes longer to recover. This means that by parrying, you’re not only defending, but also furthering the goal of attacking. And when you attack, you’re not just attacking, but also furthering the goals of defense.

These are the core principles underlying Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and these are the only principles needed to beat the game. But Sekiro also provides many safety nets to give the player a buffer for mistakes. If the player takes damage, they have the Healing Gourd, an item which restores health and can be upgraded to increase the number of times you can use it. If the player gets burned or poisoned, they can use dousing powder and antidote powder respectively to treat the issue. If the player is having trouble with a particular fight, they can use consumable upgrades to temporarily increase their attack power, stealth, posture, etc. Then there are the shinobi tools. You can use firecrackers, shurikens, a shield, a poison sword, and plenty more to take out your enemies. Furthermore, there are combat arts, extra moves that deal more health or posture damage. The game gives you plenty of tools to help you when you’re having trouble.

Why did I tell you all this? Well, to make the point I’m trying to make, you’ll need a basic understanding of Sekiro‘s design, because you need to understand that it’s design is basically fair.

Here’s a question: What do you think would happen if players took the safety nets that Sekiro provides, and started using those as their main tools for combat? Well, that is an example of cheesing, a gaming term from the word “cheesy,” which can be informally used to mean cheap or blatantly inauthentic. Cheesing usually means using a strategy that exploits the games rules and/or glitches to make a challenge easier. This sort of behavior is a problem for most games, but is is especially problematic for Sekiro and the lessons in perseverance it tries to teach with each of its fights.

There are always two challenges with Sekiro‘s battles, and with FromSoftware’s bosses in general (FromSoftware is the studio behind Sekiro). There is, of course, the tangible challenge of skill, which tests your understanding of the games rules. But there’s also a test of resolve. Whenever Gyoubu’s horse gets up on its hind legs and you see how much bigger he is, whenever a Headless kills you in two hits, whenever an enemy pulls out some new move that seems overpowered, whenever a boss you thought you’d killed actually has one more phase or comes back later in the game, your resolve is being tested. Basically, those moments when you think, Oh great! How am I supposed to deal with this? are essential to the final experience, and choosing to keep trying after you hit these tests of resolve help you to learn the lesson in perseverance which FromSoftware is trying to teach.

But if you abuse your safety nets, you choose to meet a challenge that seems insurmountable, not by persevering, but by cheating. There have been arguments about whether cheesing is cheating for as long as cheesing has existed. Many people will argue that any strategies within the game’s rules, even exploitative ones, cannot possibly be considered “cheating,” and that if game developers deem a strategy to be cheating, it should be patched in future versions of the game.

But this is nothing more that a clumsy attempt by cheesers to convince themselves that their experience with a game is just as valuable as the experience of one who hasn’t cheesed. But I get it. I’ve cheesed a few bosses in my play-through of Sekiro. I’ve used all of these excuses on myself more than once. But, at the end of the day, cheating is stealing a reward you haven’t earned, and as such, cheesing is unquestionably cheating.

Sekiro You Cheated Not Only The Game

But I understand the rationale behind claims that games devs automatically approve of strategies which they do not remove from their games. After all, if the only people capable of putting a stop to cheesing behavior choose not to, that must mean they condone such behavior… Right?

Of course not! Hidetaka Miyazaki, the lead designer behind the Dark Souls franchise, Bloodborne, and Sekiro, has repeatedly been vocal about his disapproval of such strategies.

So why have such strategies been left in the game? Obviously, we can’t know for sure. None of us work for FromSoftware. But it wouldn’t surprise me if cheesing strategies were left in the game to make it mean something when you beat a boss properly. If these options were removed, then who cares if you didn’t cheese a boss? In real life, when there is no other option than to do the right thing, doing the right thing is neither commendable nor deplorable. It is only once the concept of wrong comes into the equation that right actions become commendable. It’s the same with games, beating Sekiro only means something if you do it right, even if you could have done it wrong.

But honestly, I have no problem with people cheating Sekiro. I know that statement sounds sort of incompatible with everything else I’ve said so far, so let me explain.

Sure, I think that Sekiro is at it’s best when you follow its rules. But it’s just a game at the end of the day, it’s not like you’re committing actual fraud or anything, so who cares if you cheat?

You've Cheated Not Only The Game But Yourself

Ha! Trick question! The legions of FromSoftware fangirls care, and if you cheat, they’ll harass you about it till the day you die.

But that’s not the point. The point is, with Sekiro, as with any game, if you want or need to cheat the game in order to beat it (as long as it’s a single player game, where it’s just a few lines of computer code getting cheated), go ahead. You do you. Just don’t try to claim that it’s not cheating. Just be real with yourself. I couldn’t beat the Demon of Hatred. So I cheated it. The FBI isn’t going to kick down my door and take me into custody over something like that. But I’m not going to try to claim that I beat the Demon of Hatred at all legitimately, nor is there any reason for me to do so. Like I said, it’s just a game. There’s worse things in the world than not being able to beat a boss in a video-game, especially a boss in a game from FromSoftware.
