Learn how to defeat mini-bosses Ujinari Mizuo and Seven Ashina Spears in Sekiro's final visit to Ashina Castle & Outskirts.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon returning to Ashina Castle, speak with Emma. She will inform you of Lord Isshin's death and the Ministry's full-scale attack.
  2. 2
    Emma will give you the "Secret Passage Key" and instruct you to find Lord Kuro.
  3. 3
    You can proceed directly to the final boss fight by going to Ashina Reservoir and then the secret passage, but it is recommended to explore first.
  4. 4
    Reclaim Sculptor's Idols in the Castle and Outskirts areas, including the one nearby and the one where Owl and Genichiro were fought.
  5. 5
    Head to the area below Lord Isshin's room to find the mini-boss, Ashina Elite - Ujinari Mizuo.
  6. 6
    To stealth deathblow Ujinari Mizuo, run down the stairs by Lord Isshin's room to aggro him, then run up the stairs at the far end to lose aggro. Return and perform a stealth deathblow.
  7. 7
    Use the Loaded Umbrella and its deflection move to quickly build Ujinari Mizuo's posture gauge for a second deathblow.
  8. 8
    After defeating Ujinari Mizuo, collect Yashariku's Sugar x2 and the Prayer Bead which contributes to the Ninth Prayer Necklace.
  9. 9
    Explore the castle area for items, noting that red-hat samurai fight castle defenders and purple ninja fight blue samurai. Ministry forces are stronger.
  10. 10
    In the upper room near an idol, find Pellet x3.
  11. 11
    Near the front gate, you can find an Adamantite Scrap. Be aware of strong soldiers with red-hat samurai and archers with flamethrower-like devices.
  12. 12
    Reclaim the "Old Grave" idol and find a Fistful of Ash nearby.
  13. 13
    Near the former merchant's location, find another flamethrower enemy and Ako's Sugar x3.
  14. 14
    Near the "Ashina Castle" Idol, find Ministry Dousing Powder. Note the giants to the right are non-hostile due to devastation.
  15. 15
    To the left of the "Ashina Castle" Idol, kill two fighting men to claim Gokan's Sugar x3.
  16. 16
    This path leads to the area with a small house where you can drop down and reclaim the "Ashina Reservoir" Idol.
  17. 17
    Proceed to the nearby mini-boss, Seven Ashina Spears - Shume Masaji Oniwa.
  18. 18
    To start the fight with an advantage, use a Gaachin's Sugar, sneak to the left, and use Puppeteer Ninjutsu on the general to pincer attack the Seven Spears with your new ally.
  19. 19
    For the second life bar, spam the firecracker shinobi tool to make Shume Masaji Oniwa flinch, then get behind him and use a powerful attack like the double ichimonji.
  20. 20
    After defeating Seven Ashina Spears, collect Ministry Dousing Powder x2 and Fulminated Mercury.
  21. 21
    Your path is now clear to the final battle past the secret passage below.
