Follow the recommended Game Progress Route for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This guide provides an overview of the best progression path, including optional bosses, locations, and tips for a smooth playthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Ashina Reservoir: Reach the Moon-view Tower, acquire Kusabimaru and Healing Gourd, and face Leader Shigenori Yamauchi and Genichiro Ashina. This section serves as a tutorial for basic controls, stealth, and ledge hanging. You'll receive your Katana, Kusabimaru, and Healing Gourd from Kuro, who tasks you with helping him escape Ashina Castle.
Tips
  • Prioritize the Purification Ending on your first playthrough to easily obtain all Prayer Beads and achieve 100% completion.
  • For trophy hunters, consider "Save Scumming" to unlock multiple endings before proceeding to New Game Plus for the Shura ending, though this is not the recommended method.
  • The prologue in Ashina Reservoir acts as a tutorial for movement, stealth, and combat basics. Pay attention to on-screen prompts for actions like hugging walls, eavesdropping, and ledge hanging.
  • Collect the Ornamental Letter and a Pellet before proceeding through the main path.
  • Kuro will guide you towards a secret passage beneath the moat's bridge.
