Sekiro Genichiro Ashina guide: how to cheese the Ashina Castle boss

Among the many Sekiro bosses, Genichiro Ashina is by far the most persistent and challenging. He’s the very same chap responsible for lopping your arm off at the beginning of the game and is basically the main antagonist of the game, so it makes sense that defeating Genichiro is a pain in the proverbial. You’ll have to watch out not only for his sword skills, but also his deadly bow attack and lightning abilities. You’ll need more than a little bit of skill to tackle this foe, which is why we’re on hand to offer some helpful tips. Aside from the wide array of attacks Genichiro uses he also deals a huge amount of damage with each strike, moves at lightning speed, and even requires three shinobi death blows to dispatch. You need to be able to block his bow, his sword, avoid his grab attack, and eventually dodge lightning in order to make it through this battle unscathed. So, here are some tips to help you out.
