Sekiro, known as Wolf, was a nameless orphan adopted and trained by the wandering shinobi Owl. Owl entrusted Wolf with the crucial task of protecting Kuro, the Divine Heir, who possesses the Dragon's Heritage. This heritage makes Kuro a target, leading to the events that unfold in Sekiro's journey.
Sekiro's Origins and Training
Wolf's journey begins as a nameless orphan, later named "Wolf" by his adoptive father, Owl. Owl, a wandering shinobi, trained Wolf in the ways of the ninja, preparing him for his destiny to protect Kuro, the Divine Heir. This training equipped Wolf with the skills necessary to face the challenges ahead, including the use of prosthetic tools and combat techniques.
The Prosthetic Tool
The prosthetic arm Wolf uses originally belonged to the Sculptor, who gave it to Wolf because he no longer needed it, having dedicated himself to carving statues. This prosthetic is crucial for Wolf's combat and traversal abilities, and can be upgraded using materials like Scrap Iron.
Early Game Exploration and Items
During the early stages, Wolf can acquire several important items:
- Pellet: Found past a gate, 2x Pellets can be collected. These restore Vitality over time.
- Spirit Emblem: Located by dropping down to the right from a grapple path near the Giant Serpent's skin.
- Mibu Possession Balloon: Also found near the Spirit Emblem, 2x Mibu Possession Balloons are available.
- Scrap Iron: A valuable material for upgrading Prosthetic Tools, found after grappling to a loot location near the Giant Serpent's skin.
These items are vital for Wolf's survival and progression, aiding in combat and enhancing his prosthetic capabilities.
