big spoilers ahead

Made lots of headway today before hitting a roadblock. I ended up going back to some areas and found the Ashina Depths, including another snake and the dried fruit thing. I did a little research and then killed big snake for the fresh fruit. I think this is ending related.

Imagine my horror after spending hours on the Guardian Ape only to find I have to fight the Headless Ape again and he summons another ape halfway through the fight. I have to assume these versions have less health because I beat them in a more reasonable timeline, but they still fucked me up a lot. I'm still dodging a lot rather than deflecting, which is honestly hysterical considering I used to be a completely shield based player in Dark 1 and 2. Bloodborne and 3 **** me up and now I have to try and undo that.

Beat some more minibosses and also the illusion Corrupted Monk, which was the easiest boss so far. What wasn't easy was Headless which sucked. I beat one finally but god its a bad fight. Slow and annoying. Not sure how many I'll go after. And yet that paled in comparison to Vilehand. I was getting absolutely shredded before I used Puppet Ninjitsu to make his croney fight against him. I still only barely beat him.

I am now on Great Shinobi Owl and he has destroyed me with ease in the first few fights. I think that's a good place to stop.
