Character Progression & Skills — Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Guide
Character progression in Sekiro involves gaining experience through combat to earn skill points, which are then used to unlock various abilities across different skill trees. Understanding the game's flow, including points of no return and specific NPC interactions, is crucial for maximizing your character's potential and achieving desired outcomes, such as specific endings.
Skill points are obtained by gaining experience from combat encounters. These points can be invested in various skill branches:
- Shinobi Arts
- Prosthetic Arts
- Ashina Arts: This tree is unlocked by obtaining the Ashina Esoteric Text, which you receive from Tengu of Ashina after completing his "rat hunting" quest. The initial passive skills in this line are very useful.
- Temple Arts
- Mushin Arts
- Ninjitsu Techniques
