Ashina Outskirts: The Road to Ashina Castle

The Ashina Outskirts serve as a crucial pathway connecting the Dilapidated Temple to Ashina Castle. This area introduces players to key mechanics and initial objectives after the prologue. The journey through the Outskirts is essential for advancing the main story and preparing for the challenges within Ashina Castle.

After the initial tutorial in Ashina Reservoir, players gain control of Sekiro. The Dilapidated Temple connects directly to the Ashina Outskirts. Later in the game, after defeating Genichiro Ashina, a Shinobi shortcut will link the Dilapidated Temple to Kuro's room in Ashina Castle. This shortcut will close during the first and second invasions of Ashina Castle.

Key objectives and items to find in the Ashina Outskirts include:

  • Unlock "Sculptor's Idol Travel."
  • Find materials for the Loaded Shuriken.
  • Defeat General Naomori Kawarada.
  • Obtain a Prayer Bead and a Gourd Seed.
  • Acquire the Bundled Jizo Statue.
  • Obtain the Young Lord's Bell Charm.
  • Locate the Crow's Bed Memorial Mob.
  • Find your first Recollection.

An elite enemy is found after the Ashina Outskirts - Stairway Idol on the way to the Underbridge Valley Idol, after Ashina Castle has been invaded for the second time.
