Perform Deathblows

Learn how to perform Deathblows in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Master stealth, aerial attacks, and wall Deathblows to eliminate unaware enemies and bosses.

In Sekiro, a Deathblow is a finishing move that can be executed in various ways, especially when dealing with bosses. Deathblows in Bosses occur when their health has been depleted. Often Deathblows provide a visual spectacle, offering a great way of ending your enemies. While for normal enemies, it is most commonly used in stealth situations, allowing the player to take out unaware enemies with a single strike.

This can be achieved by sneaking up behind the opponent or performing a Deathblow from above using a Ledge Grab or Aerial attack. Another option is to execute a Wall Deathblow by striking from around a corner.
