Hello everyone and welcome to my guide for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Like many people, after playing through many of the "Souls" games, I fell in love with them and From Software in general. The detailed worlds, world building and tough-as-nails game play are always consistently solid from this developer. Sure, the games (and bosses in particular) can be migraine-inducing, but the sense of satisfaction from overcoming these obstacles is second to none!

I still remember picking up Demon's Souls back in the day just to see "what all the fuss was". Little did I know that someday it would lead to Platinum Trophies for Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne (I'm still working on Dark Souls 3). Heck, Bloodborne is hands-down one of my favorite games of all time (A hunter must hunt, even in a dream...).

Still, Sekiro is a different beast entirely, one without the multiplayer of most Souls games, without the message system, and without the various builds you (we) may be accustomed to. Instead, we are Shinobi, and we shall kill from the shadows.

I've always enjoyed writing my guides as if we're playing through the game together, and doing so for such a tough game will definitely be a challenge. Still, like I've said in my previous guides: you really do have a brother in arms in this journey! If you've used my guides in the past before, welcome back! It's good to have your support once more!

As always, feel free to leave comments, send me any tips or tricks you have (you can find my email up above or in the "Legal/Contact" section) or even just come join my fan page at Facebook.com/Bkstunt and say "Hi!" to a fellow horror-game loving fan!

That's it for my introduction, but remember that you can check out the "Guide Overview" section to see what you can expect out of this guide. Please enjoy!

Game Overview

Hey everyone, welcome! As you probably know, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice comes from FromSoftware, the folks behind the notoriously tough 'Dark Souls' series. They're known for games with steep learning curves and challenging gameplay.

Sekiro is no different. It'll take some practice and patience to get good, and you'll definitely run into bosses and mini-bosses that will test your limits. But don't worry! With the right strategies and a bit of practice, you can absolutely get through this game. If I can do it, you definitely can too!

Here's what you can expect from this guide:

We'll walk you through every area as safely as possible, helping you find all the items along the way.
We'll track down every SHINOBI TOOL, PRAYER BEAD, and KEY ITEM. Keep in mind that finding everything might require specific steps, as the game isn't strictly linear.
We'll focus specifically on the (very difficult) Bosses and Mini-Bosses, offering advice on which tools to use and how to perform stealth deathblows when possible. Many of these bosses even have videos to help you out!
We'll show you how to access the game's multiple endings!

This guide is here to help you conquer this incredibly challenging game. You'll be well-stocked with items, pick up plenty of tips, and even get the occasional picture and boss video. I hope you enjoy it, and most importantly, don't let the difficulty get you down!
