The fact that some people see this as one of the best tools and others see it as useless is a testament to Sekiro’s good game design. Tools are rarely mandatory, but they can help turn the odds against your opponent, it’s just a matter of finding the right tool for the right job for your playstyle.
Jacob Jaywant I might be new to From games, never played Dark Souls, but I love it honestly. The fighting style is hard but also very very fun. It puts so much control in your hands, but almost too much control, as you have to time your every hit and block meticulously. But I am new to this sort of game (Witcher 3 and Zelda are the closest things I’ve played, and they’re nothing like Sekiro), so I’m sure my perspective is a bit different than the Souls fans
I actually hate all of the tools. They feel too situational, have too long a windup, or are just straight up bad imo. That's what made me master the sword on sword combat so early. Even now I still find it too difficult to make use of them outside of maybe firecrackers if I can remember they exist.
Alastor situationality is by design. It’s sort of akin to how items worked in Zelda, they’re good for specific situations and enemies, though the tools in this game have much less “clear” situations for use than Zelda’s tools. And yes, the tools aren’t entirely mandatory, you HAVE to master sword on sword combat to play Sekiro. The long windup means you can sneak a tool attack in with the Axe or Sabimaru, for example, after deflecting an enemy when there’s a slight stagger to capitalize on the window. You can’t just pop the button and have it always go through, learning to time an axe swing into a fang and blade example won’t win you the fight, but it can make it shorter if you time it in between your slashes and deflects.
Great guide! I would like to further draw attention to the Living Force use. Even against enemies that can't be back stabbed by the move, it is very powerful, because you can just spam R1 to keep turning them around for successful free hits.
I see some value in the living force attack. But not much else. The best farming routes in the game don't rely on this tool. And if you're farming for XP, you're going to get all the sen and materials you need long before you get enough XP.
Press R2 to activate mist stance. When holding the left stick in a desired direction while attacked in mist stance, you teleport a short distance in that direction. If left stick isn’t used, you’re teleported directly above the enemy. Mist stance has a small window in which to be attacked or the teleport doesn’t initiate so learn the timing. It doesn’t work for grab attacks and only uses spirit emblems when the teleport is successful.
I actually have been searching for this tool for a bit now who’ve thought that it was hidden behind the creepiest of Enemies whose breathing reminds me more of a Spider than a Centipede
Divine Abduction is the perfect farming tool. For late game when you need Fulminated Mercury it's great in the Ashina Outskirts area to give double drops. Against Ministry agents who have massive DPS it's a godsend. Then you have it in Senpou Temple where it auto kills Monks who drop Fat Lump of Wax, Grave Wax, and Sugars. A further path in Senpou Temple the monkeys drop Persimmons for essentially infinite Rice/Fine Snow!
@@Harry_Eyeball Five color rice is Sekiro's version of prism stones. Rice/Fine Snow are healing items received from the Divine child of Rejuvenation that function like pellets but much better, with a long duration and more healing per tic.
@@Harry_Eyeball A prism stone is a glowing rock used to mark a path. Serves no combat purpose, purely a visual effect. The five color rice is similar in usage.
@@Harry_Eyeball Rice is a significantly better healing item than Pellets, and Fine Snow is an even better version of that. Both are obtained from the Child of Rejuvenating Waters. Where Persimmons come into play is that you can only receive 3-4 units of Rice in a cycle before you're asked for a Persimmon to reset it. You only get 4 or 5 persimmons in a single playthrough, so the ability to farm them is a godsend. Be sure to use it with a Mibu Balloon of Possession!
I feel like this tool would be much more useful if it only needed to be cast once to cause the effect, having to press R2 twice to turn an enemy around is ridiculous. Either that, or the initial Gathering Vortex has an effect, like letting you tank a single hit without taking vitality damage
I like to swap my equiped prosthetics on the fly so to me this is a great mid enemy killer and great for avoiding attacks when you know your enemy’s timing somewhat well
Now *_this_* is gaming journalism. You're not crying about "muh ez difficulty", but instead are informing us gamers how to best make use of in-game tools as well as their pros and cons. Great vid man. 👍
The one and only GOOD use for this is along with Ceremonial Tanto (farming). Otherwise it's nothing special and you better use those emblems elsewhere. Also don't trust these fanatics that say this tool is any good for regular play. It's not emblem efficient, it's not working for all enemies.
Midnight Madness because that’s not an illusion, it’s a quote : “vengeful spirit that appears after twilight to claim revenge on the living”. The only illusion in the game are lady butterfly’s, mibu corrupted monk, and the translucent headless at the bottom of fountainhead lake
@@midnightmadness6344 I'm guessing that for any illusions stronger than lady butterfly's, lazulite axe (and snap seeds) only stuns them and causes some damage. Yeah I would say just go buy some snap seeds and skip the lazulite axe, especially when the amount of stuns available in a fight seems to be capped (at 3 vs corrupted monk i think).
I tried using this for the Gunspire farm route but I kept getting hit and losing the buff... its kinda annoying that the cast time leaves you so vulnerable to an attack.
Okay so for some reason I never realized that this would grant you free in-combat deathblows... time to use it more in my current ng+5 no charm demon bell playthrough with tools I never use lol
It should be noted that the Golden Fan's money drop skill is not very cost efficient if you factor in the cost of the spirit emblems it takes to cast it and how expensive it would be to purchase them back. The only time you really earn any actual net positive is if you have a stupid surplus of emblems and just don't care, or if you are using bonus emblems given to you by the Ceremonial Tanto
I find it is still cost-effective, as you can still get free emblems from killing during the farming process. I usually finish a farming run anywhere with as many emblems or more than I started.
This is kinda inaccurate. Just from a sen perspective you have to spend 200 sen to cast golden vortex but depending on the enemy gaining +300 sen back wouldn't be out of the ordinary for double money drops. That doesn't even include the chance get emblems back from their deaths, further reducing its cost.
I love the way this tool looks, but there are better tools for damage/combat. I just wish it didn't cost so much or have such a long wind up time for unequivocal results to some other tools.
Are you planning to do video guides about combat arts too once you are done with prostethic tools ? Currently on NG++ and I still use just a few of them ; I'd like to know which other ones are worth it and in which occasions.
Kodoq101 in accordance with Japanese mythology “kamikakushi” or “spiriting away” simply means “to remove without anyone noticing.” It is also used to describe someone whose spirit has been claimed by a wrathful deity and subsequently removed from the mortal coil. The monks attempting to attain immortality through the centipedes was an affront to the divine dragon, so when you presented him with an opportunity to punish the wicked, he took it. In short, they disappear because they angered a god and tried to hide from it, using da “reveals” them to the god and he then spirits them away.
Well im hlad i searched this i was only hittin the button once then when it did nothing i figured it was meant for an enemy i havent met yet later down the road and useless for the ones im fighting in the beginning lol. Guess ill try it out again.
This game is so damn good. Can't wait to get it next week. I watch all your videos so I can know what to upgrade when i get the game. Is this an easy platinum btw?
@@thesenate4070 man.. I hate replaying games I've finished. That's why I haven't gotten around to getting the platinum on DMC5 yet. Might have to take a week off from work and just do some grinding
@@scuppo If you play on PC you can make backups of your savefile right before choosing an ending and after doing it reset the save and do the other endings.
@@scuppo You can do 3 endings on the same save if you backup to cloud/USB before the final boss. It still took me 'til NG+3 to unlock all skills though so you might as well do multiple playthroughs. The game is fantastic though; good enough to warrant at least 2 playthroughs, anyway.
@@scuppo trust me thats not the only reason you dont have the devil may cry 5 plat :D, in that you have to clear hell and hell with S rank in all missions and thats the reason you dont have it
I think all the monks have been abducted once already. The description of the fan you give to the sculpter for the tool says something about "If we are abducted we will go to Senpo Temple."
Sekihou build (One-armed Firebird, should be one-winged but I have no clue what the word for 'one-winged' is in Japanese to make a portmanteau). Divine Intervention, Flame Vent, Firecrackers. Just sounds super fun to use honestly. I'm glad, at the same time sad, that I can't just make a build-run like I can with Dark Souls...
you know what's the one flaw about the gameplay in sekiro??? you can't use the prosthetic tools while on the move , as soon as you press RT/R2 or whatever it is on PC the character stands still to use the tool this is the only big flaw in the combat in my opinion
There are ways around this, most notably the shuriken (after learning the shinobi skill) and the flame vent can be used airborne. Airborne flame is especially fun and significantly reduces its windup animation.
I don’t see how this is a flaw, you just need to time your use of prosthetics correctly, just as you need to time when you choose to heal or use a combat art. There is also a way around this in that most prosthetics can be used while jumping. Just don’t be an idiot
Lies and slander! It's a fine tool with some neat hidden effects. While the video mentioned using it with the Living Force skill, it neglected to note that hitting multiple enemies with a single swing will spin all enemies struck by your blade, making it a great crowd control tool.
Victor Garcia if you cast the wind after first gathering it, you don’t spend Spirit Emblems. Double Abduction allows you to cast twice for the price of 3.
Yeah that two is the most OP/useful in every situtation, but just a tip try out the spiral spear against a stunned headless guardian ape that stuff does loads of posture dmg even on ng+4(thats where i tried it)
@@mhamster7034 no you don't even need them against those, you can just get better ant not use it, but you can use it in almost every fight, it gives guaranteed deflects.
I dont get the point of this tool. If your timing is good enough to press r2 two times while waiting between them, you are more than good enough to deflect. And deflect obviously doesnt cost spirit emblems, plus it causes posture damage. Why waste emblems on this standing there waiting for enemies to kill you for 3 whole seconds for the abduction animation? Beat the game 4 times, never saw a use for this. Seems like its just for cool youtube videos.
How on earth did so many people see this tool and instantly discount it?! It is one of my favorite tools. A hell of alot better than the over rated firecrackers.
Because it sucks. Long-ass windup animation for both charging and casting, extremely small window to actually use it, high emblem cost for meh effect. It's by far the worst prosthetic tool in the game.
@@fiercemushroom4840 It's only good for farming. The animations are so damn long it gives free hits to your oponents. Doesn't even let you backstab the only enemies that are worth the emblem cost. And I don't need to spend 3/4 extra emblems for a ninjutsu when I can just use stealth or the free backstab skill. You'll have to post video evidence if you want to convince me otherwise.
Personally find this tool useless because when I hit sunken valley I already finished 90% of the game including temple. Maybe good for ng+ but I don’t replay games
Ninjutsu is pronounced neen-JUUTE-suu. Not neen-JUT-suu. The key is the long U sound. Jutsu typically means technique in Japanese and is usually a suffix to whatever type of technique they are talking about. Ninjutsu is Ninja Jutsu or Ninja Technique.
@bokudensuduharagmail I'm just a weeb I don't actually speak japanese nor do I have any type of formal teaching or anything. I wasn't using the caps to signify where to stress the syllables, I was using caps to point out where I think he was pronouncing it wrong. Thanks for the correction though I'll keep that in mind for next time.
Nah if you look close you can see the red number next to the spirit emblem count, meaning that he used the blade that gives you extra emblems in exchange for health.
@@fiercemushroom4840 It's shit. Doesn't even work on strong enemies, only purpose is cheesing monks that are already super easy in the first place. Flame vent >>>>>> abduction.
It's pretty much a farming tool. Especially if you want to get that platinum. I had enough materials going into ng+ I didn't have to worry about getting materials. Only the lapis u get at the end.

And deflect obviously doesnt cost spirit emblems, plus it causes posture damage. Why waste emblems on this standing there waiting for enemies to kill you for 3 whole seconds for the abduction animation? Beat the game 4 times, never saw a use for this. Seems like its just for cool youtube videos.
I can use this to farm divine confetti
you can buy confetti for 300g after defeating the true corrupted monk anyway
The only tool i used in the game is the shuriken lol
Thank farm farmer john
How on earth did so many people see this tool and instantly discount it?! It is one of my favorite tools. A hell of alot better than the over rated firecrackers.
It's definitely more fun to use
Nothing is better then the Firecracker tho. That thing can carry you through the whole game, no questions asked.
@@derausmpark The firecracker is a crutch for people who don't want to learn the bosses move set.
Because it sucks. Long-ass windup animation for both charging and casting, extremely small window to actually use it, high emblem cost for meh effect. It's by far the worst prosthetic tool in the game.
@@fiercemushroom4840 It's only good for farming. The animations are so damn long it gives free hits to your oponents. Doesn't even let you backstab the only enemies that are worth the emblem cost. And I don't need to spend 3/4 extra emblems for a ninjutsu when I can just use stealth or the free backstab skill.
You'll have to post video evidence if you want to convince me otherwise.
biggest problem: i mostly farmed for gold to buy spirit emblems.
The ninjEtsu made my ears bleed.
Meh ill stick to the poison sword. Fire crackers and my baby shurikans
I never knew
Divine Farming tool
Personally find this tool useless because when I hit sunken valley I already finished 90% of the game including temple. Maybe good for ng+ but I don’t replay games
Oh so that's what this does lol
has anyone been able to back stab someone on fire? I did this to one of the Drunk minibosses and it lit my sword on fire.
This was all confusing lol

Ninjutsu is pronounced neen-JUUTE-suu. Not neen-JUT-suu. The key is the long U sound.
Jutsu typically means technique in Japanese and is usually a suffix to whatever type of technique they are talking about. Ninjutsu is Ninja Jutsu or Ninja Technique.
@bokudensuduharagmail I'm just a weeb I don't actually speak japanese nor do I have any type of formal teaching or anything. I wasn't using the caps to signify where to stress the syllables, I was using caps to point out where I think he was pronouncing it wrong.
Thanks for the correction though I'll keep that in mind for next time.
boa.
When he use the prosthetic tool it didn’t cost him any spirit emblems. 🤔 hacks
@Jacob Jaywant wat
Nah if you look close you can see the red number next to the spirit emblem count, meaning that he used the blade that gives you extra emblems in exchange for health.

You have a funny way of pronouncing things. It's SEH-ki-ro, not seh-KI-ro. Nin-joot-su, not nin-jutt-su. I am a fan of the content all the same
The most useless prostetic tool in the game, and a huge waste of a spot. Used it on Kotaro once per play through and never equiped again.
That's a shame, it's one of the better prosthetics. Maybe you should learn to use it.
@@fiercemushroom4840 It's shit. Doesn't even work on strong enemies, only purpose is cheesing monks that are already super easy in the first place. Flame vent >>>>>> abduction.
I don't like the divine abduction.
It's pretty much a farming tool. Especially if you want to get that platinum. I had enough materials going into ng+ I didn't have to worry about getting materials. Only the lapis u get at the end.
Well I don't like the firecrackers.
@@fiercemushroom4840 nice joke 😂😂
@@Tybear-qz4bx But it's true though! I've finished Sekiro several times now without ever using the firecrackers.
@@fiercemushroom4840 firecrackers are the most universal tool in the game. No need to not like them
This game sucks compared to other souls games.
Sekiro is not a souls game
