Patch 1.04 also addressed the specific tuning of boss encounters, most notably the infamous "Demon of Hatred." This boss was a source of contention for the community; designed for a Dark Souls style of play (dodging and spacing) rather than Sekiro’s distinct posture-based combat, the fight felt disjointed and unfair to many. The patch adjusted the boss’s behavior and hitboxes, making his attacks slightly more readable and less prone to unfair tracking. Furthermore, the patch improved the player’s ability to acquire "Divine Confetti" and increased the damage dealt by the "Mortal Blade" against apparition-type enemies. These tweaks signaled that FromSoftware was listening to player feedback, smoothing out the rough edges of difficulty that felt artificial rather than earned, while maintaining the steep challenge that defines their design philosophy.
