Fitting New Prosthetic Tools
The Shinobi Prosthetic in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a versatile tool that can be augmented with various Prosthetic Tools, each offering unique combat and utility functions. Fitting new tools is a crucial part of Sekiro's progression and allows for diverse combat strategies.
After Sekiro's arm is replaced with the Shinobi Prosthetic, he gains the ability to equip and use different tools. These tools are found throughout the world, often in hidden locations or as rewards for defeating enemies. To equip them, you must visit the Sculptor in the Dilapidated Temple.
How to Fit Prosthetic Tools:
- Acquire a Prosthetic Tool: Find a new Prosthetic Tool in the game world.
- Visit the Sculptor: Return to the Dilapidated Temple and speak with the Sculptor.
- Select 'Fit Prosthetic': Choose this option from the Sculptor's dialogue menu.
- Equip the Tool: Select the desired Prosthetic Tool from your inventory to equip it to the Shinobi Prosthetic.
Each Prosthetic Tool requires Spirit Emblems to use in combat. These emblems are a limited resource that can be replenished by resting at a Sculptor's Idol or by defeating certain enemies.
Prosthetic Tool Upgrades:
Beyond simply fitting new tools, you can also upgrade them using Upgrade Materials and Sen. The Sculptor can perform these upgrades, which often unlock new functionalities, increase damage, reduce Spirit Emblem costs, or add secondary effects to the tools. Prioritizing upgrades for tools that suit your playstyle is highly recommended.

Experimenting with different Prosthetic Tools and their upgrades is key to discovering effective combat combinations and overcoming the diverse challenges Sekiro faces.
