Ashina Castle (Revisited)

  • Now that you have the Mibu Breathing Technique you can go back to several places around the world and find new items
    • Near the burial mound close to the Under-Shrine Valley: Defeat Headless
    • In the moat outside Ashina Castle: Defeat Headless
    • From the Temple Grounds Sculptor's Idol jump into the pond containing:
    • If you sent Kotaro or Jinzaemon to the Bloody Surgeon, you can talk to him to continue his quest and receive Surgeon's Stained Letter
      • Kill the red eyes Carp and bring the Eyes to Doujun
      • Loot Dosaku's Note. From the Abandoned Dungeon, close to the elevator that takes you to Senpou Temple, you need to dive underwater and look for a small cave opening, which will lead you to the room.
      • Kill Doujun and the man you sent to him
    • We continue through Ashina Castle
    • Loot the Black Scroll at the chest outside Isshin's room
    • Defeat Mini-boss: Chained Ogre
    • Defeat Mini-boss: Lone Shadow Masanaga the Spear-bearer
    • Defeat Mini-boss: Lone Shadow Vilehand
    • At this point you should be able to obtain the Eighth Prayer Necklace
    • Now you can choose which type of ending you want to pursue. Side with Owl if you want to obtain the Shura Ending. This is considered the worst ending and is probably best to do it in a second playthrough.
    • This guide will continue assuming you are after (1) Immortal Severence, (2) Purification or (3) Return which unlocks a new area and are considered better endings. For that do not side with Owl..
    • Defeat Great Shinobi Owl
    • Eavesdrop Kuro until he says ("I must do what must be done". Rest and Emma will move up the stairs. Agree with her.
    • Rest and talk to Emma again. She will give you Tomoe's Note. Rest and go to the Old Grave
    • Go to the temple and eavesdrop Emma and the Sculptor. Ask her about what you heard. She will give you the Father's Bell Charm. You can use this to go to Hirata again and Unlock the Purification Ending.
    • Talk to the Divine Child to obtain Rice. Eat the rice, rest and reload the area and ask for more until the Divine Child fall asleep. What will continue is necessary if you want to go after the Return Ending. You can do all the steps and select which of the three better endings you want at the end of the game.
    • Ask for rice once more and reset the area.
    • She will ask for a Persimmon
      • If you gave the White Pinwheel to Kotaro he will travel to the Hall of Illusions and he'll give you a Taro Persimmon. If you give the Taro Persimmon to the Divine Child you'll have a unique dialogue, but you don't need that to continue her quest
    • Ask for more rice and she will give you Rice for Kuro
    • Give the rice to Kuro. Rest. He will give you a Sweet Rice Ball. Eat the rice.
    • Give the Holy Chapter: Infested to the Divine Child. Rest. She will go to the Hall of Illusions.
    • Loot the Holy Chapter: Dragon's from the cave nearby and give it to her.
    • Give her the two Serpent Viscera (fresh and dried)
    • Rest and eavesdrop.
    • Talk to her after having burned the Fountainhead Incense at the Altar with Kuro to receive the Frozen Tears

    New Playthroughs

    • Even though you can obtain the four endings individually (or by save-scumming) you need to do do at least one "new game plus" to have all the memory of the bosses at the same time
    • You also need to go for the Immortal Severance / Purification / Return ending at least two times to obtain all the Lapis Lazuli that you need to obtain all the upgrades for the prosthetic arm. Also, the best place to farm experience is after going for the non-shura endings.
      • On your first playthrough you should have obtained 6 Lapis lazuli
      • You need 4 more to have all the upgrades, but in each game cycle you can obtain another 6.

    FAQ

    The foundation of this guide was based on Zachary Kjellberg's Dark Soul 3 Cheat Sheet and Stephen McNabb's Dark Soul 2 Cheat Sheet source code. I only copy & paste and learn along the way. Each checkbox is based on Sekiro's Game Progress Route Wiki. I completed the guide in a effort to include all key items, sakes, minibosses etc, in a unified way

    I have feedback, how can I contribute?

    I have a post on reddit. You can send me a DM or answer that post to send me any comment or criticism about the Cheat Sheet.

    Is this a guide?

    Not exactly. This is a set of checklists and information that you can use while playing Sekiro. This is useful to to make sure you don't miss an important key item or boss. I think this is cool to use in a second playthrough, once you don't mind so much about spoilers and want to do everything

    Do I need to follow the playthrough in this exact order?

    Sekiro has multiple ways of progressing. I have follow the Sekiro's Game Progress Route Wiki. Some minibosses can be done in a different order, before or after that some key bosses.

    Can I use this for multiple characters?

    Yes, use the profile selector and buttons in the options tab at the top of the page to setup multiple profiles.

    How does the checklist status get saved?
