Wall Jump
The Wall Jump is a fundamental movement technique in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, allowing Sekiro to ascend vertical surfaces and reach new areas. By pressing the jump button near a wall, Sekiro will leap off it, enabling him to gain height or traverse gaps. Mastering this mechanic is essential for navigating the game's intricate environments and accessing hidden paths and collectibles.
To perform a Wall Jump, approach a climbable wall and press the jump button (X on PlayStation, A on Xbox). Sekiro will push off the wall, allowing you to then press the jump button again in mid-air to perform a second jump. This allows for chained jumps off multiple walls, enabling you to scale considerable heights. Look for white markings on walls, which often indicate surfaces that can be used for wall jumping or hanging.
Wall Jumping is not only crucial for vertical traversal but also for combat and evasion. You can use it to quickly reposition yourself during fights, escape dangerous situations, or gain a tactical advantage by reaching higher ground. Many secrets and optional areas in Sekiro are only accessible through skillful use of the Wall Jump and the Grappling Hook. Practice this technique early on to ensure you can utilize it effectively throughout your journey.
