My Journey to 100% Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
GameOn Magazine|Issue 165 - July 2023
I've always been a fan of souls-like titles: the challenge, the gameplay, the glorious feeling of completing the game - it all appeals massively to me. So, naturally, on release, I bought and played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice through... as much as I could. Fight as I may, and after easily hundreds of deaths, the final boss - Sword Saint Isshin, because I'm not a corrupt shura player beat the crap out of me repeatedly.

My Journey to 100% Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Artura set their sights on 100

I struggled to get past Genichiro, I struggled to get past Isshin's first stage, and I was sure to struggle to get past the second and third. Dejected, defeated, and destroyed, I quit Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice at the edge of victory.

I thought I'd never play the game again... until two years later. I came back to play through the experience in my brand-new OLED display (at the time) two years after the game's release - I just needed to explore the Sengoku period of Japan.

This playthrough would be the one where I'd beat the game... and do it another seven times to get every achievement. Here are my favourite achievements, my most dreaded ones, and whether I recommend you give it a shot, too!

Favourite Achievement

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice doesn't have a lot of overly-complex achievements; most of them are focused on completing story missions and killing bosses. Although I'd love to pick one of these, such as my favourite boss something I likely wouldn't be able to do with ease), I believe my favourite achievement to get was the Master of the Prosthetic", where you'll need to upgrade all of your Prosthetic Tools to their limit.
