Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, Official Game Guide Hardcover – April 30, 2019
SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE is a true shinobi experience--if you're not devious, patient and above all masterful, you'll almost certainly be cut down. Fear not, as Future Press have crafted a guide that makes the path to mastery clear. Sekiro's opponents are so ferocious and unyielding that defeating them in any form will take practice and dedication; beating them flawlessly requires shinobi skills that this book is designed to teach you: consider it the ultimate Esoteric Text.
The official guide to SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE is filled to bursting with combat tutorials, analysis, and overviews of the game's interconnecting mechanics. It's a veritable encyclopedia that is certain to enrich your shinobi experience. You've never faced a challenge like this before. It would be unwise to face it alone.
The Path of the Shinobi
With our expertly-crafted walkthrough, nothing is left to chance--following it will ensure that you never miss an opportunity for a Stealth Deathblow and learn all shortcuts, while grabbing everything of value along the way. Beautifully illustrated maps reveal the full majesty of the Ashina territories and all the secrets they hide.
Opposing Forces
The Ashina clan and the many monstrous creatures that inhabit their lands are FromSoftware's most deadly creations yet. 140 pages of this book are dedicated to dissecting them--we show you how to prepare, break down their attacks and explain exactly when and how to cut through their guard.
Ninjutsu Combat
This book will take you deep into the inner workings of Sekiro's combat. You'll learn how to acquire and manage a multitude of skill trees, combat arts, ninjutsu techniques and Prosthetic Tools, and not least your trusty katana, Kusabimaru--every encounter depends on it, and after reading this guide, you'll have mastered every aspect of the shinobi's arsenal.
NPCs
A truly mysterious bunch of characters stalk these lands. Each of them has their own schemes and desires that motivate them to help or hinder you, and many outcomes are possible. Easily keep track of them all with complete event lists, connection charts and quest walkthroughs.
The Ultimate Reference
This guide is designed to be extremely reference-friendly. Every item you can acquire in the game is detailed and indexed. We've also included step-by-step progression guides, with recommended orders for tackling bosses, upgrading tools, learning skills and spending your hard-earned Sen.

It has excellent breakdowns for enemies and bosses, which takes a lot of the guess work and "Why did they do that?" moments. The moves are broken down thoroughly and explained in a way that is both easy to follow and informative. It makes me excited to go back into the game with the knowledge I have now!
I learned a ton of things that the game doesn't explain itself, and the various tables covering statuses, experience, difficulty modifiers, etc are extremely helpful! It helps improve your play style, while encouraging you to experiment more with moves or tools you haven't been using due to the thorough explanations of how they work and where they benefit most. In games like this, you typically find what you think works best and stick with it. This book will make you a much more well rounded player who is comfortable with every situation.
Area maps and the guide for them flow really well, and are explained in a way that is easy to follow so you don't miss anything and know what to expect around every corner.
My only issue with the book is some of the pictures are very dark, and the QR video codes. For the pictures, I would imagine this was on the printer, not the guide editors so I can't take any stars away from what is otherwise a perfect companion to Sekiro. As far as the videos go, I think it's a great idea but I much prefer to watch videos on my PC, and it's a bit excessive to scan a QR code then punch that address into my PC browser from my phone. The videos themselves are very high quality, the video encoding and gameplay are standard setting! If only these videos were available at the launch of the game...
You won't find surface level, cheap tactics here. This is a book for those who want nuance and explanations from people who are obviously experts at the game and aren't afraid to experiment. This comes from a level of understanding that is very rare, and explains the delayed release to ensure that the level of detail was up to the FuturePress standard. It's rare a printed strategy guide goes into this level of depth and for a complex game like Sekiro, it takes the mystery out of the systems a FROM game employs and makes me excited to play more of it.
All in all an amazing book and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about Sekiro, or for someone who collects quality strategy guides. It's premium feeling from start to finish and no details were spared! This is the definition of the FuturePress difference and why they are regarded as the best in the business.
This is easily the best Game Guide I have in an extensive collection and the perfect companion for any devotee of Sekiro.
Delivery was super quick, Item was sealed in a perfect condition 0 i read a couple of bad reviews on the packaging, seems that amazon listens! mine came in bubble wrapping inside the box to protect it, was a delight to get it in a perfect condition.
I bought this guide after I fell in love with Sekrio, I already got my platinum on ps4 and finished my NG+4 already. But man this guide is awesome, the print quality, the details, huge kudos for the dudes at future press who worked on this guide.
A must have collerctors' item for any one who loves this game!

Me sorprendió el nivel de detalle que manejan y la cantidad de contenido. Aunque suene a obviedad, encontrarás absolutamente todo lo que necesitas para poder "platinear" el juego, ya sea estrategias, recomendaciones, cómo progresar en la historia, resolver las historias de los NPC's y el orden óptimo en el que deberías atacar los retos del juego.
Sin duda agrega un gran plus y se convierte en un elemento esencial si deseas sacarle todo el jugo al juego.
Solo he detectado un leve detalle estético con la guía y fue en las primeras páginas, que parecen desplegadas del entrelazado del lomo (ver en foto).
Por lo demás, la recomiendo ampliamente. Estaré atento a la siguiente entrega de Future Press.
