Sekiro boss battle advice: key things to know about how to get through Sekiro: Shadow's Die Twice's bosses

Our walkthrough above focuses primarily on boss and mini boss fights, and so most of the time it's all about combat.

With that in mind, here are a handful of key things to know, or just generally bear in mind, when you're diving into boss fights or working your way through the game. Combine these tips with the specifics we run through in each of our boss pages above, and you'll be off to a flyer.

You'll need to get used to a variety of unblockable attacks and their counters if you want to succeed.

Sekiro boss fight pointers

  • Bank the next Skill Point - If you know you're in for a boss or mini boss fight, and there's a Sculptor's Idol nearby, it's worth grinding out a few grunts until you reach the next Skill Point. You lose all your progress to the next point each time you die, so don't risk all that XP and just get the last few kills to tick yourself over before you take the next big bad on.
  • Top up on Pellets - There's a vendor fairly early on, shortly after the second mini boss General Naomori Kawarada (on the far left of the next area, listen for the crow sounds to guide you to him). Use vendors when you see them and don't be afraid to fast travel back to them before boss fights to top up. A handful of Pellets can make the difference, and that Sen's got to be spent on something!
  • Invest your Sen in Light Coin Purses - That said, if you have a load of Sen burnig a hole in your pocket then if you're not spending it on items, buy Light Coin Purses with it from a vendor. It sounds silly, but these can be 'activated' when you need them, and store Sen safely - you don't lose Light Coin Purses on death, but you do lose half your Sen.
  • Be more agressive than you're used to - We cover this more in our Sekiro combat system guide, but it feels uncomfortable being aggressive in a game that's so punishing of your mistakes, but it's necessary. Know your rock-paper-scissors matchups for Perilous Attacks and how to counter them, get a read on your enemy's roster of attacks and prepare yourself mentally to attack, dodge, jump, and deflect at the right times. There'll be few major fights where you won't need to do all of these at some point.
  • Practice, practice, practice - Don't ignore that friendly training zombie near the Dilapidated Temple. Every time your learn a new skill or make some significant progress, take the time to visit him and practice it. Set yourself a rule, like "don't leave until you can finish every new training excercise without taking damage", and you'll be amazed at the difference it makes to your combat throughout the game.
  • Use everything at your disposal, but don't rely on it - You'll find that a lot of bosses and general battles can be cheesed. Dousing enemies in Oil and then setting them on fire with a Prosthetic, for instance, or relying on the Firecracker Prosthetic to stun bosses and get some free hits in. These are all worth using, along with the items that are handed out along the way, but don't rely on them. If you use them as a crutch, you'll soon hit a boss that's immune to them, and then without the time spent mastering the foundations of combat, you'll really struggle.
