Hanbei the Undying: Your Training Partner

Hanbei the Undying is a unique NPC found in the Dilapidated Temple who serves as Sekiro's dedicated training dummy. Unlike other enemies, Hanbei cannot be permanently killed and is always willing to spar, allowing players to practice and hone their combat skills without consequence. He is an invaluable resource for learning the intricacies of Sekiro's combat system.

You will first encounter Hanbei the Undying shortly after arriving at the Dilapidated Temple and speaking with the Sculptor and Emma. He is usually found near the Sculptor's Idol. Approach him and initiate a conversation. Hanbei will offer to help you train. Through his training sessions, you can learn and practice fundamental combat techniques such as basic attacks, blocking, deflecting, and the crucial Mikiri Counter. He will also allow you to test out various Shinobi Prosthetic tools and Combat Arts.

Training with Hanbei:

  • Location: Dilapidated Temple, near the Sculptor's Idol.
  • Purpose: Practice combat mechanics, skills, and prosthetic tools.
  • Benefits: Improves your understanding of timing, combos, and enemy responses.

Regularly returning to Hanbei to practice is highly recommended, especially before facing new enemy types or challenging bosses. His willingness to repeatedly face Sekiro makes him the perfect tool for mastering the game's demanding combat system.
