Sekiro endings: how to get the Shura, Immortal Severance,

Puri cation and Return conclusions
By Jordan Oloman July 18, 2019 Guide  

The good, the bad and really bad. How to get all four Sekiro endings

     

Want to know how to get the best Sekiro ending? Or the worst? Or how about a sort of 'not
great but I can't dogo through that again' level of completion? There are four Sekiro endings in
total: Shura, Immortal Severance, Puri cation and Return - the easier they are, the less
satisfying. If you want the best ending, where everyone is more or less happy, there's a bunch
of extra bosses to ght and hoops to jump through. So prepare yourself for the ultimate
Sekiro battle: your willpower vs attempt number 104 at defeating a super hard three stage
ght with no checkpoints. Will you win? Or will you decide you can live with the bad ending?
Read on and see what lies ahead.

In this spoiler-heavy guide, we’re going to run through each of the game’s four endings, show
you how to get them, and what the consequences of your actions are. Hopefully this will help
guide you to your preferred resolution for the one-armed wolf and his young master. Here’s
how to get every ending in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Shura - Bad ending

 DON'T MISS OUT...

Black Friday deals: see all the best

This is the worst ending possible, and it’s fairly easy to see why. Late in the game, you will be
asked to return to the roof of Ashina Castle where you fought Genichiro. This occurs after you
pick up the items necessary to end the immortal plague. Here you’ll nd the Great Shinobi
Owl you encountered in the Hirata estate. 

He’ll give you an ultimatum, you either obey the shinobi iron code and forsake Kuro, or break
it and stay loyal to the young lord. Choose to follow Owl’s orders and you will ght two extra
bosses exclusive to this playthrough. Emma and Isshin. Once you wipe them out, Sekiro will
be consumed by the demonic presence Shura and fall to the dark side, so to speak.

Immortal Severance - Normal ending

 DON'T MISS OUT...

Black Friday deals: see all the best

This is the standard ending. When you’re on the roof with the Owl, simply forsake him and
stay loyal to Kuro. You’ll have to ght him to get to this ending, and it’s a di cult ght. Once
you topple him, simply follow the game through to the end without doing anything extra and
you will get the Immortal Severance ending. You’ll sever Kuro’s ties to the dragon blood curse,
but at what cost…?

Puri cation - Good ending

 DON'T MISS OUT...

Now here’s where things get tricky. To get the puri cation ending, you have to eavesdrop on a
lot of NPC’s. First, beat the Great Shinobi Owl like you’re heading for the Immortal Severance
ending. Once this is done, head to Isshin’s dojo across the rooftops of Ashina Castle and
eavesdrop on his and Emma’s conversation. 

Once this is done, head back to Kuro’s Room and eavesdrop him (hug the screen doors near
to him) to hear him say something quite unsavoury. Then, rest and talk to Emma at the top of
the stairs from Kuro’s room. She’ll tell you she’s found a way to ensure that Kuro doesn’t die
during the Immortal Severance process. Agree to help her.

Rest and talk to her again, then warp to the Old Grave idol and run through the arch to your
left where the two graves are. Talk to Emma there, then warp to Dilapidated Temple. Go
behind the sculptor’s abode and peek through the window to eavesdrop on their
conversation. Talk to Emma about it and you will get a new bell that will alter the memory of
Hirata Estate.

Head back in there, ght through two extra minibosses and you’ll face the Great Shinobi Owl
once more where you fought Lady Butter y. This ght is even more di cult than the rst one,
so be ready for it. Once you’ve done this, you will receive an Everblossom branch that you can
take with you to the endgame and use on Kuro to activate the deeply sad puri cation ending. 

Return - Best/True ending

 DON'T MISS OUT...

Weirdly enough, this one is less di cult, but there are more steps to it. Again, stay loyal to
Kuro and ght the owl, but you can ll out these criteria prior to that ght too. You have to get
two Great Serpent hearts so you can feed them to the Divine Child, who will act as a cradle for
Kuro when you sever his immortality, meaning no-one has to die. 

First up, head to Senpou Temple, Mt. Kongo and hop down to the right. You’ll see a monk at
the end of a bridge. To his left and down some more you’ll nd a kite mechanism and a rat
enemy. Use your Puppeteer Ninjutsu on him, which you will have attained after beating the
Folding Screen Monkeys, an unskippable boss ght in the story. The rat will y the kite and
create a shortcut across the massive chasm.

Now, advance through Senpou until you see the old lady who wants rice. She’s straight ahead,
surrounded by pinwheels after you get through the room with the multiple monks and insects
in. Hop up on the tree to her left and grapple across the valley. Advance through this area
until you see a massive drop and the Great Serpent you met before, who is lazing peacefully.
Drop down and murder it to get the rst heart.

Next, you want to warp to the Bodhisvatta Valley idol, near the Guardian Ape boss pit. Instead
of heading that way, turn away and advance through the poison. To your right will be a Toxic
Memorial Mob vendor. Talk to him and he’ll tell you about a cave in front of him that you
shouldn’t enter. Don’t listen to him.

Carefully make your way through the cave, sneaking past the snake and avoiding the
poisonous lizards and wall-dwelling ghosts. When you see the snake’s head, drop to the left
side and you will see a monkey dancing and jumping. Deathblow and ninjutsu the monkey to
 puppeteer it, and it will distract our big scaly friend. Run into the room that opens up behind
him and you will get the second serpent heart.  DON'T MISS OUT...

We’re not quite done yet. Head to the Temple Grounds idol after
o ers younow!
right beat the rst incarnation
of the Corrupted Monk and can use the Mibu breathing technique to dive underwater. Down
and to your left you will see a body of water. Dive and pick up the item in here. It will either be
a mysterious scroll or a prayer bead. If it’s a bead, you picked up the scroll through your
playthrough anyway, and you don’t need to worry about it. 

Head to the Inner Sanctum where the Divine Child is staying, and pass her that scroll. Rest and
she’ll head into the Hall of Illusions where you fought the cheeky monkeys. Head in there, talk
to her about it and she will drop some bombshells. 

She wants you to head into that never-ending cave next to the Main Hall of the Senpou
Temple, which is the one full of the centipede enemies. Once you’re in there, after the big
drop, turn around and double back on yourself to nd a hidden route. You’ll end up in a
populated room with a skeleton in a purple robe. Pick up the item he’s holding and give it to
her. Now you’ll nally be able to feed her the serpent hearts and she’ll become the cradle. 

Once you rest you’ll realize you can’t access the sanctum anymore. Head through the game to
the nal boss ght, and you’ll get an option to use both the Divine Dragon Tears and the
Frozen Tears on Kuro. This will unlock the Return ending, where Sekiro and the Divine Child
(who is cradling severed Kuro) travel to the West to nd the birthplace of the Divine Dragon.
