Guardian Ape – Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Ugh, I hate this boss so damn much! A white-haired hellspawn, the Guardian Ape is the bane of my existence and one of the most horrifyingly intimidating encounters in the game. It doesn’t look that frightening at first, but get up close and you’ll see this big-ass sword lodged through its neck as it attempts to poison you with its poop. It’s that blade that makes the Guardian Ape scary, as when you use it to chop the thing’s head off, the ape picks both the sword and its head up to attack in its second phase. It becomes unpredictable, swinging the blade erratically and flinging its body at you. It also, in some improbable way, “reattaches” its head to let out a deafening howl before going back to chopping you to bits. The whole fight is unsettling, one that gets on my last nerves.
