Blazing Bull Sekiro: 25 Essential Tips

As a player, you explore feudal Japan in the midst of a clash between the samurai and the shinobi, where you must master the art of combat to survive. One of the most challenging bosses you will face is the Blazing Bull, a giant bull wreathed in flames. Here are 25 essential tips to help you defeat this formidable foe:

1. Use the Whistle to Your Advantage

The Shinobi Firecracker, also known as the Whistle, is one of the most effective items against the Blazing Bull. When thrown, it stuns the bull for a short period of time, giving you a chance to attack. Use the whistle whenever the bull charges at you to create an opening for yourself.

2. Master the Art of Deflection

Deflecting the Bull's attacks is crucial to surviving the fight. When the bull charges at you, use the deflect button to push it back. Time your deflections carefully to maximize the amount of time the bull is stunned.

3. Stay Close to the Bull's Head

The Blazing Bull's head is its most vulnerable point. Try to stay close to the bull's head as much as possible, as this will make it easier to deflect its attacks and attack its weak point.

4. Use Firecrackers to Extinguish the Flames

When the bull's flames grow too strong, use firecrackers to extinguish them. This will make the bull more vulnerable to your attacks.
