Mist Raven's Feathers (Mist Raven)

Learn how to use the Mist Raven's Feathers prosthetic tool in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This guide covers its abilities and how to effectively employ it in combat.

Hey there! So you're looking to get your hands on the Mist Raven's Feathers, huh? This is a pretty neat tool that lets you do a quick, evasive dash. It's super useful for dodging attacks and repositioning yourself in a pinch. Think of it as a magical blink that can get you out of trouble or set up your next move.

What it does:

• Allows you to perform a swift dash in a chosen direction.
• Can be used to dodge enemy attacks, especially grabs or sweeping moves.
• Helps you to quickly close the gap to an enemy or escape from a dangerous situation.

How to get it:

To get the Mist Raven's Feathers, you'll need to progress through the game until you reach the Ashina Castle area. Specifically, you'll need to defeat the Divine Dragon and then make your way to the Senpou Temple, Mt. Kongo. Once you're there, you'll need to find the Sculptor's Idol in the area and then head towards the temple proper. You'll eventually find an item called the 'Mist Raven's Memory' after defeating a mini-boss. Take this memory to the Sculptor back at the Dilapidated Temple, and he'll craft the Mist Raven prosthetic for you.

Strategy Tips:

• Timing is Key: The Mist Raven is best used just as an enemy attack is about to land. It has a short activation time, so practice your timing to get the most out of it.
• Directional Control: You can dash in any direction (forward, backward, left, right, or even diagonally). Experiment with different directions to see what works best for each situation.
• Conserve Spirit Emblems: Each use of the Mist Raven consumes Spirit Emblems. While it's a powerful tool, don't spam it unnecessarily. Save it for when you really need to dodge or reposition.
• Combine with Attacks: After a successful dodge with the Mist Raven, you'll often have an opening to land a few hits. Use the momentum from your dash to strike back quickly.
• Against Specific Enemies: This tool is particularly effective against enemies with wide sweeping attacks or unblockable grabs. It's also great for quickly getting behind slower, heavily armored foes.

Mastering the Mist Raven's Feathers will definitely add another layer to your combat toolkit in Sekiro. It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be dodging and weaving like a pro!
