Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - 14 Helpful Gameplay Secrets You Didn't Know

4. Know When A General Is Recovering Posture

Some of the best encounters across all of Sekiro are against human-sized enemies. There's just something so unbelievably intense about going up against a figure that can match you blow for blow, as you read their animations and learn to riposte accordingly.

For the array of generals that pepper Ashina, watch for them standing still and engulfing themselves in fog. In this stance they're recovering Posture extremely fast, so even though it looks like an area-of-effect attack is about to be deployed, you're better off rushing these enemies at this exact time, to keep the pressure on.

Use a ranged attack, a Fistful of Ash - or just sprint straight towards them. Whatever interrupts this will only benefit you.
