Reach the second phase of the fight, skip finishing him off a couple of times, and then press left on the D-pad when the spare option appears.Īt this point, you’ll have one last phase to get through with Yang, and this time, you won’t have the ability to come back to life. The Yang fight plays out a little differently, but the strategy is mostly the same as before. Repeat this process for the rest of the bosses in the game. Spare them, and a new cutscene will play, indicating that you have let them live. Once again, the finisher prompt will appear, but so will a new option to “Spare” the opponent, which is done by pressing left on the D-pad. You’ll have to break their Structure a couple of times before getting the prompt to spare. Instead, back away and wait for their Structure to reset so you can repeat the process once again. At this point, do your best to parry, which allows you to follow up with an attack, but be careful you don't accidentally deplete their health bar to zero.Įventually, you’ll get to the point where the boss’ Structure will break, but don’t finish them off. Play each fight like you would normally, break their structure, use a finisher, and begin the second phase of a battle. You can actually completely skip utilizing a finisher on the boss to continue the fight. Up to this point, you’ve defeated bosses by breaking their structure and using a finisher to take them down for good.
#Water sifu how to
How to spare bosses in Sifu Break a boss' structure twice to get the option to spare them. You can spare them in any order, so pick whichever boss you’re most comfortable with so you can practice. Below are the bosses and each corresponding talisman: Sparing a boss will not only get you one step closer to the true ending, but each one rewards you with a special talisman. What you need to do is spare each boss instead of killing them. Here’s how to earn Sifu’s true ending and how to spare all bosses.Īfter you finish the game, you’ll be able to replay each stage and fight the bosses all over again.

Instead, you must spare all of the people who killed your family, but the game doesn’t explicitly tell you how to do that. That’s because revenge is not the way of kung-fu, and defeating all of the game’s bosses does not give you the true secret ending. It works well with the forgiveness route and it's a much more positive end to the story than the hollow victory of vengeance.After you’ve defeated Yang, the final boss of Sifu, there’s still unfinished business left to attend to. The student is supposed to be a new prodigy following the path of Wude as his predecessors once did. It's inferred heavily that this is supposed to be Yang, reformed, redeemed, and now following the path of his old Sifu. A student approaches, yelling out for their Sifu, the man in the chair, before leaving as the person in the seat follows, the magical talisman restored and left lying on the desk. The credits roll is briefly interrupted and we're shown a man in robes, implied to be Yang, sitting at a desk in the protagonist's old Dojo. If these are in your inventory before that final Yang showdown there'll be a short mid-credits scene that ties the story off with a nice bow. The Talismans in question are Earth, Water, Fire, Wood, and Metal. There's one final ending to unlock and it will probably take a few playthroughs to get it as it requires collecting all the individual components of the lost magic talisman, which you can get by sparing every boss in the game, including Yang. It's an interesting way to cap off the story, but the tale is not finished yet. Climbing a mountaintop whilst a serene landscape stretches into the horizon as if following his path of Wude to its end helped our protagonist ascend to a new plane of tranquility. But it's not all bad for our hero as the screen fades outl it's shown that he's seemingly in a blissful afterlife. Our character then dies, accepting that the only true moral outcome of the fight was to die instead of taking the life of someone that refuses to stop until they themselves are killed. Our protagonist seems to come to an internal conclusion, Fully embracing the ideals of Wude allows Yang to strike the final finishing blow on him. This time there are no health bars, and no matter how well you counter those hits the screen eventually gets that red light again before a cutscene triggers.

A lazy sunbeam illuminates what's set to be the penultimate throwdown as Yang appears once more. After the final showdown with Yang our hero will awaken in the gravestone room again, but this time without the very distinct red light.
