So here we are, you made it, just one more fight to go.

Seven Ashina Spears – Shume Masaji Oniwa is an optional mini-boss in the late game of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Located near the Ashina Reservoir Sculptor’s Idol during the final phase when the Ashina Castle is under attack, Shume Masaji Oniwa is a bit tricky for one reason – he has a samurai general stood […]

Demon of Hatred (who I’ll now be calling DoH for the remainder of this guide) is an optional boss in the late-game of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. After defeating the Divine Dragon, head back across the bridge below the Old Grave Sculptor’s Idol and work your way back to where you fought General Naomori Kawarada […]

Divine Dragon is a major boss battle found at the end of the Fountainhead Palace region. Considering it’s so late on in the game, it’s actually surprisingly easy, particularly if somebody has told you how to do it. Run up the stairs by the Sanctuary Sculptor’s Idol and you’ll come to a small cave where […]

If you decided to stick with Lord Kuro rather than siding with Owl then your journey will eventually take you to the Fountainhead Palace.

Headless is an optional mini-boss located in a number of locations in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This particular Headless encounter takes place in the grounds of the Ashina Castle, but it can only be accessed once you have defeated the Corrupted Monk and unlocked the Mibu Breathing Technique, which allows you to dive underwater. Once […]

Great Shinobi Owl is a boss found at the top of the Ashina Castle in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. You’ll find Great Shinobi Owl at the top of the Ashina Castle on your second visit to the region after you’ve defeated the Corrupted Monk.
