Sekiro: 18 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

10. Press L2 To Grab Branches When Thrown Off The Map

Another thing to remember at all times: Even when you're plummeting off the side of the map after being thrown out of combat, you can use the grapple hook or jab L2 to save yourself.

The former is your standard grapple-to-point animation, but you'll need to rotate the camera and look for spots to attach to. Various branches or outcrops will do the trick, but you'll only get the icon if you've angled the camera correctly.

Coincidentally, if you get thrown right past a tree branch, Sekiro can grab onto it with a unique animation if you tap L2 while flying past. You need VERY fast reflexes for this, but it can save losing some health, getting you back in the fight for a quick riposte.
