Coin Purses: Storing Your Wealth
Coin Purses are consumable items in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice that hold a certain amount of Sen, the game's primary currency. They are useful for safely storing your accumulated wealth, as dying can result in losing a portion of your unspent Sen.
There are two types of Coin Purses you will encounter:
- Light Coin Purse: Contains a smaller amount of Sen.
- Heavy Coin Purse: Contains a larger amount of Sen.
These items are often found as loot in chests, dropped by enemies, or purchased from merchants. Using a Coin Purse will add its Sen directly to your inventory, without the risk of losing it upon death.
Why Use Coin Purses?
The primary benefit of using Coin Purses is risk mitigation. When Sekiro dies, he loses half of his currently held Sen. By converting your Sen into Coin Purses, you effectively bank that currency, ensuring it is safe from loss. This is especially important when you have accumulated a large sum of Sen and are about to embark on a dangerous area or boss fight.
Where to Find Coin Purses:
- Exploration: They are frequently found in chests, on corpses, and in hidden alcoves throughout the game world.
- Merchant Purchases: Some merchants may sell Coin Purses, though they can be more expensive than the Sen they contain.
- Enemy Drops: Certain enemies may drop Coin Purses upon defeat.
| Item | Sen Value | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|
| Light Coin Purse | Moderate amount of Sen | Safely store Sen, mitigate loss on death |
| Heavy Coin Purse | Large amount of Sen | Safely store Sen, mitigate loss on death |
It is generally advisable to use Coin Purses when you have a significant amount of Sen, especially before tackling challenging areas or bosses. This ensures that your hard-earned currency is protected.
