Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice – Endings Guide

Ending #1 – Shura

Shura is the fastest possible ending in Sekiro. After defeating Guardian Ape and the purple glowing Corrupted Monk, head back to Ashina Castle where Great Shinobi Owl awaits you on the rooftop. After talking to him, you will have the choice to either obey him or Kuro. Choose the option to obey Owl.

This triggers two boss fights, and you will receive the Shura Ending. This also unlocks the Shura trophy or achievement.

Ending #2 – Purification

Just like the first ending, you will have to reach the rooftop with the Owl. This time, stay loyal to Kuro and defeat Owl instead. Follow these steps to unlock it:

After defeating Owl, head to Isshun’s place and eavesdrop on him and Emma.

Eavesdrop on Kuro from behind a corner in his room.

Rest and head upstairs to talk to Emma about Kuro, agree with her.

Rest and talk to her again.

Head to the Old Grave Idol, go left immediately to the graves, and talk to Emma again.

Head to the Sculptor’s Place and eavesdrop on both of them from behind the building.

Confront Emma and receive a bell from her, which you use at the Buddha statue again.

Head to the same room Lady Butterfly was in.

Beat Owl – Good luck with that!

This unlocks the Purification trophy or achievement.

Ending #3 – Immortal Severance

Just like the second ending, you will have to reach the rooftop with the Owl. Stay loyal to Kuro and defeat Owl instead, but this time do not head to the second version of Hirata Estate! Instead, from there, simply follow the story until the end without returning to Hirata Estate.

Ending #4 – Return

Just like the other endings, you will have to reach the rooftop with the Owl. Stay loyal to Kuro and defeat Owl instead. From there, follow the story until the end, with a few additional steps before finishing the last boss:

Gather both Serpent Fruits (Fresh and Old) from the Giant Serpents.

For the Old Fruit, head to the area before the Guardian Ape fight. Instead of going toward the Ape, go to the very bottom of the area in another direction. You will reach a cave with the Giant Serpent in it. Follow the path until you can see its head. Drop down on the left side and use Puppeteer Ninjutsu on the monkey to distract the snake. Head through the door and pick up the Old Fruit.

For the Fresh Fruit, head to Senpou Temple and drop down to the right of the exit of the first Idol in the area. You will see a mechanism for a kite and a small enemy next to it. Use Puppeteer Ninjutsu on the small guy, and he will operate the kite for you. Follow the path until you can grapple to the kite, which will transport you to a new area from which you can kill the Giant Serpent. Fresh Fruit is yours.

The second step involves the Divine Child in Inner Sanctum. Give her a scroll you will find by diving in the pond in the Temple Grounds. She will disappear into the illusion where you chased the monkeys.

Find her again in the illusion where you fought the 4 small monkeys. Talk to her, and she will return to the Inner Sanctum and tell you about the fruits.

She will tell you to find the monk who is in the dark cave next to the temple you are in. Find him there and bring what you got from him back to her. Now you can feed her the fruits.

You will receive Frozen Dragon Tears from her, which you will need to use on Kuro after defeating the last boss in the game.

Note: If a sequence with the Divine Child won’t trigger, try resting at an Idol, feeding Rice to Kuro, or simply progressing the story a bit further. Some players have trouble triggering events with her for unknown reasons, but this is the basic process for the ending. This is essentially the Sekiro Secret Ending as it has the most steps and is the trickiest to get.
