He took me ages too, eavesdropping gives you some hints but no use if you've no oil left. In the end I stopped pummeling him when he's chained up and took out the guard at the top. Lost count of how many times I nearly had the Ogre killed, only for the bloody guard to kill me 
.
Making progress slowly, still got a few bosses to kill but the areas keep opening up at least.

once you work out that you can run past the ogre, go up the hill to the left (kill the soldier), then perform a mid-air attack to take one of the ogre's lives. makes it a whole lot quicker and easier.He took me ages too, eavesdropping gives you some hints but no use if you've no oil left.

Lol, I'll remember that for the second play through.

A bit before the ogre you should have found a woman who gave you a bell, use that at the temple to get a new area to explore. You can find the upgrade in an area with about 8 enemies, it's in a campfire.
Thanks I have the bell so I'll go and do that later, I have been to that area but didn't know what to do so left there! Oops

There's not really a right/wrong path as there are quite a few options that open up quite early, fair warning that nearly all of them have a pretty tough boss waiting for you

Lol, the majority of them will annoy the hell out of you but stick with it,the game just keeps getting better and better in my opinion.
On a side note I watched a video of someone beat Genichiro at the start of the game ffs ,

Just fighting again him now, trying to get revenge for the fight at the start of the game but he is just not having it. His move set is not that hard, sure he was faster at the start of the game tbh. Think I just need a few hours break.

Don't be afraid of luring them out using the ceramic pots or taking them out by stealth one at a time then running away. Taking on more than 2-3 at once is a recipe for a bad time in my experience.
Slowly getting a lot better at this now....I originally went the route of Lady Butterfly....come back on myself and got to the Ogre you lot mentioned above and killed him first time....its just been about getting out of the Dark Souls playstyle for me.

Loving this now. Finally sat down and put some good time in. Found this ogre and he was a really fun fair challenge imo. Eavesdropping in the area gave helpful info.
Had my first proper boss too which was great. Beautiful visually too

Good chance you'll get overwhelmed attacking a group. So plan a route, use stealth to take out as many you can until you get confident with blocking/deflecting.
Learn which guards are easiest, usually those with guns and those with a visible top knot can be deathblown pretty quickly, those with straw hats usually parry and attack but the pattern is predictable.
Remember you're a shinobi, dirty tactics are okay

Yeah stealth is key for most areas, always a back way in to take one out and vanish to a rooftop.

Fought him once but got owned, so decided to explore. So got him and the elite Ashina samurai to beat in that area. I notice there's a window in the dojo room so I'm thinking I can get one deathblow in via stealth.
