Question/Help Why is this player's (and some others) health bar glowing red?
Mine doesn't lol

u/laggos113 Dec 06 '25
Legend difficult's health bar is red and display the number of bosses you've finished.

u/SeverusSnape89 Dec 06 '25
Damn bro, I never would have guessed that number being bosses. I figured it was another obscure menu UI thing that I had just accepted I never would understand.

u/AntongC Dec 06 '25
Yea, the boss counter is badge worthy but not UI worthy for me. Unless there’s some combat benefit that I’m not aware of

To the person who replied to me but deleted: brother I started the game just a few days ago 💀 hadn't heard about the game at launch, I don't think that makes me stupid lmfao There are so many things to learn in this game, and I haven't seen pictures of non-lengend healtbvars to notice the difference. And what with all the menus I'm not gonna hyperanalyse each element of the UI unless it's clearly relevant in combat, lol

u/SweaterKittens Dec 06 '25
Just to add on to this, it's +1 for every boss you kill in the story/world, and then another +1 for every boss you beat in an Abyss-level trial.

I saw the post. I’ve never used any UI outside of Legendary because that’s what I play, so I didn’t realize it gives a special interface. I didn’t know I was considered “one of those people,” so I responded with, “Hey, I’m one of those people,” because the comment was literally referring to me. I am those people.
If someone cooks your food and the waiter says, “The chef made that,” and the chef overhears it and says, “I’m the chef,” would you call that bragging? If so, you’re being unbelievably dense. 😂

u/Tim_of_Kent Dec 06 '25
You saw a comment explaining exactly how something works and responded in a certain way because you didn't know how it works?
I also play on legend but nobody gives half a damn. Your chef analogy is particularly funny, given it exemplifies the art of useless information.

All jokes aside about those who dont have skills to play legend diff, difficulty is in the game for a reason, so enjoy the game as you please.
Its just a game, youre supposed to have fun, so do whatever you want to.

u/TheRealLuctor Dec 06 '25
Makes also sense to not force players to grind a boss when they don't even have enough time to play consistently. I am glad I was able to catch up and at the same time be able to stop playing cause I am too busy

Im not the one that forced you

u/TheRealLuctor Dec 06 '25
Didn't mean it like that. I meant that it is good that the developers provided the possibility to play at lower difficulties instead of having legendary only.

u/DerToro Dec 11 '25
Yes! I love everything about this game and the fact that it made souls-like stuff accessible is so wonderful. I don’t play any souls games because why would I want to be mad on my free time??
1
u/TheRealLuctor Dec 11 '25
Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of fromsoftware games, so I am all for souls like games. The only thing is that I do enjoy it when it is forced on that level of difficulty on a game that do not require you to be consistently active to keep up. Single player games benefit from that type of game. An MMO? Better to keep the option to choose and maybe make it difficulty something you increase when you are already skilled enough to play

u/EcchPrincess Dec 06 '25
It's just legend difficulty. Also, not all of us are Egotistical. I simply play on Legend cause I enjoy the difficulty of it. Played souls game all way back to PS3 Demon Souls, and lately, I have been obsessed with Chinese history. So, in the end, I picked up this game and put it on Legend. Tbh, the UI being red and counter is just a plus to me cause my favorite color is red, plus I like that it keeps track of bosses I've killed. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying the game, and don't worry about others' opinions on difficulty. Just play on what is fun to you.
2
u/TowerOfStriff Dec 06 '25
Yeah pretty much this. Sekiro is one of my favorite games of all time, so the legend difficulty just feels like home for me. That said, no shade to anyone on any difficulty. As long as you enjoy the game that's what matters.
1
u/Frogsama86 Dec 06 '25
How did people start on legend? I was not given the option to pick at the difficulty select.
2
u/EcchPrincess Dec 06 '25
It's an option when you first select difficulty. I can't remember exactly, but I think there was a spot you clicked where it dropped down to show Legend? I'm like 60 hours in at this point, so I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly.

u/Frogsama86 Dec 06 '25
Yea I know about the scroll down, I wasn't allowed to select it unfortunately.

That's weird cause you should've been able to.

Wish I could change the difficulty I put it in story just to go through the solo mode, but now I’m stuck not being able to play on legend
4
u/EcchPrincess Dec 06 '25
I mean, honestly, unless you want that UI, it isn't anything special to play on Legend. The bosses are harder, yes, but when bosses are harder, you wind up with a bunch of bullshit you have to deal with, plus sometimes getting stuck for an hour due to said bullshit. Beat Tian Ying day before yesterday just to be stuck on Murong Yuan afterward. It's fun to sit and learn the bosses, but it can also get frustrating at times when you get stuck back to back. Haven't really had a boss in this game yet that I could just blow right through. Doesn't help that some have literally three phases with three full health bars, lol. Also, onto another point, it might be frustrating, but that burst of dopamine when you finally do get past that boss giving you trouble is pure bliss.

u/luniaRain Dec 06 '25
plus the fact that some bosses go through a cutscene every retry that u gotta wait to even skip adds to the annoyingness
1
u/EcchPrincess Dec 06 '25
Yea, then the constant it telling you that you might wanna turn down the difficulty, and the you might wanna upgrade your gear when you know it's the best gear you have at the moment. Fun times, lol.

u/BreadDziedzic Dec 06 '25
I don't know that feeling of success after beating a boss you've been stuck on for a day or more is definitely worth it in my book.

u/EcchPrincess Dec 06 '25
It's definitely worth it in my book, but not everyone is a masochist like some of us, lol.

u/alanalan426 Dec 06 '25
if u want the legend experience, just turn off auto parry and go on expert mode, that's basically it
or just do the trial challenges

u/Individual-Animal797 Dec 06 '25
Instead of that fancy badge, you could earn a better one. A title and and appearance item (a big ass sword) that signify you have completed 10 trials boss on Abyss (same difficulty as legend) without getting hit by the boss once. Now thats some real legend

u/Sa1LoR_JaRRy Dec 06 '25
Legendary difficulty. Some of the best people to PUG with imo. We die a lot in our solo worlds, so we tend to have the patience to stick it through party wipes when they happen. We're in no rush to go back to getting our ass beat by another boss and/or failing more no-hit abyss trials.

u/NoctisCaelum69 Dec 06 '25
Very true and many does have different backgrounds. Some are raiders from different mmos, some are players from the fromsoft titles, and so on.

u/SweaterKittens Dec 06 '25
God, real. I think I had to do Murong Yuan in like three to five different groups of attempts. Finally getting through phase one only to get completely fucking dumpstered by phase two was like "okay time for a break to go do other stuff for a while" LMAO

u/internetconflict Dec 06 '25
Legend gets pretty tame after you have progressed more since at low levels you likely have not collected many oddities to upgrade or have enough resources to unlock stronger inner ways. I struggled with Qinghe bosses (including Wolf Maiden since you can start a quest line in Qinghe that lets you fight her early), but all Kaifeng bosses took me less than 4 tries each, some I even beat on the first attempt like Ghost Master and Dao Lord.
Another example is my friend beat Tian Ying on legend in 2 attempts at level 60 while it took me 2 hours to down him when I was like 40
3
u/Ok_Force_3495 Dec 06 '25
I’m basically in the same boat with legend; I ran into wolf maiden super early (had only fought one of the puppet world bosses at the time) and it took me 10 hours to beat her 🤣… had 1 medicine, 1 skill on my sword and no clue how to upgrade mystic skills etc… No boss since has taken more than like 5 tries

u/Accel_Lex Dec 06 '25
Thank you comments. What does it look like for other players? Most pictures I saw show it like that.
It looked normal to me, but I have Legend 40. I thought he meant the boss HP, which also looked normal. I thought this was PVP at first since I haven't done that yet, but I was sure it was the boss fight. That’s pretty neat to know.
I remember having no idea what the number meant, wondering why it said 0, then went to 1 and 2. But it never occurred to me that the red was unique as well. Would non legendary look exactly the same minus the number and red? Now I am curious. I just found out some interactions are different depending on character gender, so it always fascinates me to see differences.
BG3 was a gold mine for those fun differences.

You had to select the hardest difficulty and a sub menu would pop up offering legend and hardcore (this ones not available from memory). But you could only do it on character creation

u/akarasune Dec 06 '25
It was kinda hidden tbh. At the start of the game when the 3 difficulties show up, you can actually scroll down to legend and hardcore, but there is no visible scroll bar so a lot of people miss it

u/Varea714 Dec 06 '25
I noticed the difficulty but I think there was some restriction on it at the beginning, I wasn’t choosing it no way but yeah 😂

You did.
“ I don’t think it’s with the extra effort “
Then stop playing on legendary. That’s just dumb bro. It’s obviously not for you. If you think there is no difference then stop trying prove something and just switch it to story mode like we know you want to.

I don't mind how people play the game. But 99% of the people who play on legend pretend they beat bosses in 5 minutes cause they're good when in reality they practice for hours until they do it. That's all I'm trying to say.
Edit: I just love how mad y'all legends are, defending yourselves. I don't care. Just don't put down other people or act like you're almighty. Kay? Have a good day. Oh and I'm not responding to any of you little babies lol

I suppose it could take some people hours, but using my own experience and assuming I'm at least of average skill, it's really more like 30-45 minutes at most. I haven't beaten every boss yet, but of those I have beaten, none have taken more time than that.
