Despite what you may have heard, there are a number of cunningly hidden ways in which Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is actually easier than it needs to be. One of these is that you can hold the ‘deflect’ button to block most attacks, and though this exacts a heavy toll on your posture, it’s easily managed. That won’t be true in Sekiro’s New Game Plus mode.As is the tradition of its developer FromSoftware, Sekiro has a New Game Plus mode. You can choose to begin a second playthrough from any Sculptor’s Idol after beating its final boss, and if you do so, you’ll find a number of things are different.Predictably enemies will do more damage, both to your health and posture, and your posture will take much longer to recover on its own.

It’s a pretty wide-ranging shake-up of the way you play, and after you’ve spent your whole first playthrough learning one set of rules. Though on the upside, it should make the second playthrough feel rather different, adding to the replay value.If that sounds appealing, you can make things even harder by using Kuro’s Charm. At the start of a New Game Plus, you’ll receive this alongside the ornamental letter, and can hand it over to Kuro when he hands you your sword in the Moon-View Tower. If you elect to do so, you’ll receive chip damage when blocking attacks, making this tactic even more perilous.
