Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Diaries - Part 2

Erin continues a journey

- Erin McAllister

Welcome back to my Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Diaries, a series following my attempts to survive in this difficult souls like game. Last time, I came back from the dead to finally defeat the Chained Ogre, which was a feat three years in the making! After having finally "gotten good," it was time to continue exploring Ashina Outskirts...

The path up the Stairway cleared, I shot my grappling hook towards the opening at the top of the gate. Landing safely inside, I looked around, spying two directions to take, left and right down a hallway... and another big hole smack dab in the middle of it all, looking out over the building's inner field. I picked up the nearby Nightjar Monocular and used it to look around the area. The field seemed to be a shallow pit filled with crates and military equipment, sloping down from a path that circled the area. Thankfully, the rooftops seemed fairly accessible, so jumping around to stay up high would be feasible. There seemed to be a small group of soldiers milling about and standing guard, with another miniboss at their centre: General Tenzen Yamauchi. He looked to be a more heavily-armored soldier, but with two health bars, so I knew he meant business. That seemed odd to me: Another big fight so soon after the Ogre? Either way, I wasn't going to jump through a big hole unless it was the only way forward.
