Navigate Sekiro's Abandoned Dungeon, find items like Pacifying Agent and Surgeon's Bloody Letter, and deal with reviving corpses.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Sculptor's Idol: Abandoned Dungeon Entrance, proceed forward and down the stairs.
  2. 2
    Deal with the small 'Cricket' enemies, which can be taken out with shurikens, and the unarmed 'corpse' enemies that attempt to grab you.
  3. 3
    Note that these corpses revive after one death and must be killed a second time to be permanently defeated, rewarding skill experience and money.
  4. 4
    Duck into a small area after the stairs to find a Pacifying Agent.
  5. 5
    Deal with another corpse enemy that comes alive.
  6. 6
    Head further ahead to a large hole. To the left, enter another prison area, deal with the Crickets inside, and grab the Rotting Prisoner's Note.
  7. 7
    Return to the main area. On the right side, near a table/wall, kill a cricket and a corpse to find another Pacifying Agent.
  8. 8
    On the left side, you can meet an NPC named Doujun. Talk to him, and he will ask for your help by giving you the Surgeon's Bloody Letter.
  9. 9
    Past Doujun, kill two corpses to obtain the Red Lump they were guarding.
  10. 10
    Go down into the pit and backtrack slightly to find Oil x2 on the ground.
  11. 11
    Follow a path to the right to find a Bite Down item and another corpse to kill. Continue down this path to find a message on a block.
  12. 12
    Enter the large arena. This area contains a Mini Boss that requires Divine Confetti to fight. You can grab the Mibu Balloon of Soul on a ledge here.
  13. 13
    Look to the right to find a lower ledge area. Jumping down here triggers the Mini Boss, which inflicts the "Terror" status (a status effect that rapidly depletes health). Retreat quickly if you trigger it.
  14. 14
    Head back to the pit and go down the tunnel to find the Sculptor's Idol: Underground Waterway.
  15. 15
    Proceed down into the water. Collect Scrap Iron on the path and kill two large aggressive fish in the water.
  16. 16
    Swim to the next piece of land near a boat. Jump up to the upper left. Sneak-kill one of the two men (one has a spear) and then fight the other.
  17. 17
    To the right, stealth-kill the gunman. Loot the area for Ako's Sugar x2 in the boat, a Pacifying Agent x2 on the left, Black Gunpowder, and a Light Coin Purse in the back.
  18. 18
    Continue through the water and kill two more fish ahead.
  19. 19
    Keep to the right to avoid a soldier. Jump up the wall, hang from the ledge, shimmy left, and stealth kill the guard. If you have invested in stealth, you can sneak around the next guard to kill him as well.
  20. 20
    Enter a cave and use a mechanism to activate an elevator. Head up.
  21. 21
    Follow the path to a large room with many pots.
  22. 22
    Talk to the Wall Scroll, which explains that the temple men are corrupted in their search for immortality and grants permission to proceed.
  23. 23
    Rest at the Sculptor's Idol: Senpou Temple, Mt. Kongo to begin the next area.
Tips
  • Conserve Spirit Emblems when fighting Crickets if possible.
  • Stay to the sides or behind the corpse enemies to attack them effectively.
  • The Mini Boss in the arena can inflict the "Terror" status, so be prepared to retreat if you trigger it.
  • Invest in stealth skills to more easily eliminate guards in the waterway area.
