Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - Ranking Every Boss From Easiest To Hardest

3. Demon of Hatred

Do you like Bloodborne? Well, if so, here’s a boss that will pretty much make you unlearn all the new skills you’ve picked up in Sekiro so far because they've been ripped straight out of FromSoftware's other title.

This is a war of attrition and even when you’ve got the beast down to the second pip of health things are far from over, as the Demon starts firing off blasts of fire which you need to be quick to jump up and hook yourself over. When you get him down to his last pip things get even crazier, as he’ll try to capture you inside a circle of flames, or you’ll be outside the radius and he’ll use it to mask his attacks. The best way to beat this beast is to take your time, keep your distance and know when to get out of dodge.

Also there’s the lovely bit of lore at the end that maybe this demon is actually you from another cycle having succumbed to the lure of the shura, but more on that in another article...
