How To Get To Ashina Reservoir Endgame

Alright, buckle up buttercups! You're about to take a scenic route… a *slightly* stabby scenic route, to get back to Ashina Reservoir in the endgame of *Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice*. It’s not exactly a walk in the park, unless your parks involve heavily armored samurai and mutated roosters.

The Sculptor's Idol Shuffle

First things first, teleportation is your friend. Head to the Dilapidated Temple. This is your home base, your safe space (ish). Select the Sculptor’s Idol there.

Now, fast travel to the Ashina Castle Gate Fortress Idol. This is our launchpad to watery endgame goodness. Imagine it as your personal portal to the past, only with more… urgency.

Sneakity Sneak Time

From the Idol, immediately turn around! Seriously, spin 180 degrees like you’re trying to impress someone with your ninja skills. We're going backwards, baby!

You’ll see a path leading down and to your left. Carefully make your way down this path. Think of it as a stealth mission against a garden of particularly grumpy shrubbery.

Hug the left wall. Like, *really* hug it. Pretend you’re trying to become one with the stone. The goal is to avoid any unnecessary eyeball-to-eyeball encounters. We're tourists, not trespassers... mostly.

You'll eventually see a broken section of the wall you can jump down. Do it! Embrace the drop. Trust me (sort of).

The Bridge and Beyond

After that exhilarating leap of faith, you’ll land near a bridge. Cross the bridge. Simple enough, right? Don't get cocky!

Now, keep moving forward until you reach a fork in the road. Time for another decision! It's like choosing your own adventure, but with significantly more risk of getting impaled.

Take the path to the left. It leads down towards the water. You're on the home stretch!

Watery Grave... Or Not

You’ll see a familiar sight: the Ashina Reservoir. It's the place where it all began! Nostalgia alert!

Time for another drop! Carefully descend into the water near the area where you fought Genichiro way back when. Avoid those pesky carp, they're even angrier now.

Under the Bridge

Swim under the bridge. Remember doing this before? You're practically a pro now! Consider this the underwater tunnel of triumph!

Keep swimming until you can emerge from the water. You're basically done at this point, you did it! Give yourself a pat on the back!

Congratulations, Wolf!

You’ve successfully navigated the treacherous… well, slightly inconvenient… route back to Ashina Reservoir. Go forth and complete your mission! You got this!

Remember to enjoy the scenery (while staying vigilant for ambushes). And, most importantly, don’t give up! You're a shinobi, a warrior, a legend! You've probably died countless times already, so what's a few more?
