To ensure the Immortal Severance ending is achievable, players must focus on the main narrative progression. This involves defeating key bosses such as Genichiro Ashina and the Divine Dragon.

This choice is fundamental to locking in the Immortal Severance path. While other optional content can be explored, it is vital to avoid initiating or completing the questlines that lead to the Purification or Return endings, as these will supersede the conditions for Immortal Severance.
