Beginner Tips for Survival

Sekiro presents a steep learning curve, but understanding core mechanics and utilizing available resources can significantly ease the challenge. The Sekiro Wiki Guide offers extensive information on equipment, mission walkthroughs, enemy strategies, and tips for players of all levels. Familiarizing yourself with these resources will help you quickly adapt to the game's intricate combat and exploration.

To enhance your survival and progression in Sekiro, consider these tips:

  • Combat Training: Talk to The Immortal Soldier at the Dilapidated Temple to receive combat tips and practice your moves and skills.
  • Healing Upgrades: Visit Emma to upgrade your Healing Gourd, which functions similarly to the Estus Flask from the Souls series, providing limited healing.
  • Offering Box: Pay Sen at the Offering Box to recover lost items.
  • Merchants: Unlock Fujioka the Info Broker through a quest in Ashina Castle to access his merchant services.
  • Dilapidated Temple Connections: The Dilapidated Temple connects to Ashina Outskirts. After defeating Genichiro Ashina, a Shinobi shortcut to Kuro’s room in Ashina Castle becomes available, though it closes during Ashina Castle’s first and second invasions.
  • Ashina Outskirts Objectives: In Ashina Outskirts, unlock "Sculptor's Idol Travel," find Loaded Shuriken materials, and defeat General Naomori Kawarada.
