Complete Sekiro Ashina Depths walkthrough covering the Poison Pool Sculptor's Idol, defeating the Snake Eyes Shirahagi mini-boss, and the Headless Ape boss fight.

Walkthrough:

  1. Start by dropping down to find the Sculptor's Idol: Poison Pool.
  2. Head right, grapple up to a ledge, and stealth kill the Hand Cannon soldier to collect Oil x3.
  3. Return to the main path and head left, navigating the poison. Collect Pellet x2 from a rock.
  4. Continue to solid ground and collect Black Gunpowder x2 and Scrap Magnetite from near the ruined shacks.
  5. Prepare to fight the mini-boss Snake Eyes Shirahagi. It's recommended to kill the nearby Hand Cannon soldier first and lure Shirahagi to the ruined shack area to avoid cannon fire. You can stealth attack Shirahagi for half its health before engaging directly. Use deflections and Ichimonji attacks to build its posture gauge.
  6. After defeating Shirahagi, collect the Prayer Bead reward.
  7. Head left from where the mini-boss was, grapple upwards, and stick to the left. Duck under a boulder, then leap up a rock to a wall-jumping area. Wall jump to the upper ledge to find Yellow Gunpowder.

  15. Climb the wooden structure where the Hand Cannon soldier was and grapple to the Buddha hand for another Scrap Magnetite.
  16. Grapple back and continue climbing the quarry. At the top, enter the tunnel to find the Sculptor's Idol: Ashina Depths. Rest here and collect the nearby Pacifying Agent x2.
