I get it but it got repetitive real quick.

More like

>Enemy swings
>parry
>game code: ummmmm you had to do it in 400 milliseconds but you actually did ti in 405 milliseconds so ummm you will get hit and die :) hehe another 15 minutes of your precious life WASTED :) viboe gane :)

Yeah bro I'm sure all the people who beat it are no lifers on Adderal. It's the only explanation for you not being able to do something.

the mistake you're making is waiting for the enemy to swing to parry him
you have to jump that guy and relentlessly attack him until HE parries you

Just run past those 8 enemies.

It's the easiest souls game to parry in by far because the timing and sound it gives you its really consistent.
You spam R1 get deflected then parry right after.
This is why people call it a rhythm game.
Hopefully this helps if you're not trolling it took me a while to figure it out personally.

the trick to sekiro is spamming parry in early game and gradually getting better throughout the game

Party mechanics are never fun let me move around like a retard

Many such cases.

Sekiro is one of the best games ever made because it forces you to play on its difficulty. There is no easier mode only a harder mode if you use the bell. It forces you to learn the game, get better and finds ways to win. Somethings can be cheesed yes, but the game never gets 'easier'. You must either learn, get better or give up.

Dude i am 33 years old I don't have time to "learn" a single player game any more.

I should be allowed to play easy baby mode because my life is fucking over, I have gray hairs, I have NOTHING to prove, I could die in my sleep any day now.

Just wait, your youth will fade. Tick tock.

Honestly if you aren't able to parry fairly consistently by the second Genichiro fight, you're probably not engaging with the system enough. The fact that the game heavily telegraphs every attack you can't parry should tell you how important it is to do just that. Learning to parry and then learning the muscle memory to jump over sweeps or Mikiri counter thrusts. Also just dodge and punish grabs.
