Scrap Iron

Scrap Iron

Scrap Iron is a vital crafting material in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, primarily used for upgrading Sekiro's Prosthetic Tools. These upgrades are essential for unlocking new combat abilities and enhancing the effectiveness of his mechanical arm.

You can find Scrap Iron scattered throughout the game world, often in chests, dropped by enemies, or located in hidden areas. Its acquisition is crucial for players who wish to maximize the potential of their prosthetic arm, allowing for more powerful attacks, defensive capabilities, or utility functions. For example, upgrading the Loaded Axe might increase its damage or reduce its wind-up time, while enhancing the Shuriken might increase its speed or tracking ability.

The location of Scrap Iron can vary, but it's often found in areas that require a bit of exploration or overcoming minor combat encounters. For instance, it might be found near a Sculptor's Idol after a challenging platforming section, or dropped by a specific type of enemy. Players are encouraged to thoroughly explore each area and defeat enemies to gather enough Scrap Iron for their desired upgrades.

To utilize Scrap Iron, players must visit the Sculptor at the Dilapidated Temple. He is the only one capable of modifying and upgrading Sekiro's prosthetic arm. Upon bringing the necessary materials, including Scrap Iron, the Sculptor can imbue Sekiro's tools with new power, making them more effective in combat against the game's increasingly difficult foes. Prioritizing which tools to upgrade can significantly impact gameplay, so consider their preferred combat style.
