Quick notes
- Wolf protects Kuro and the Dragon’s Heritage. Wolf is the shinobi you control, also known as Sekiro.
- Return to the temple for practical help. The Dilapidated Temple is the first reliable place to connect new discoveries to improvements.
- Follow conversations when characters move. Story progress can change where allies stand and what they discuss.
- Keep late identities and ending choices for later. Several characters have histories and loyalties that the game reveals gradually.
