Sekiro Best Prosthetic Upgrades

As previously mentioned, this list will include the top 5 upgrades that will help you through the end game. These are the best tools at your disposal that you can use to defeat even the strongest of bosses. Some of these might not suit your playstyle at all, so instead, I recommend trying out some alternatives to find the best one for yourself.

With that said, the tools mentioned are going to assist you greatly to either win a fight or progress your character with items and upgrades. Much like the best Combat Arts, these tools will allow you to defeat bosses and exploit enemies’ weaknesses.

Great Feather Mist Raven

Name	Great Feather Mist Raven
Spirit Emblem Cost	3

The Great Feather Mist Raven might initially seem like an evasive tool. Once upgraded, its added ability inflicts fire damage along with getting you behind an enemy. This can often lead to some of the best mid-combat openings you could ask for.

Using this often is pretty easy to burn through your spirit emblems, but luckily, it only consumes them when the ability hits. The Great Feather Mis Raven prosthetic can fundamentally change how the player approaches combat situations. I found it to be great for both offence and defence if managed correctly.

To add the icing to the cake, it makes you look extremely cool. It is also ideal for dealing with enemies that have you surrounded. The only major downside is the somewhat long charge time. It leaves you open to get attacked by enemies, and your ability cancels if you get hit.

Golden Vortex

Name	Golden Vortex
Spirit Emblem Cost	4

The Golden Vortex is your magic ticket to maximising golden farming items off of enemies. This can greatly assist with funding the other upgrades. This tool – like the base version of before it – can whisk away some low-tier enemies instantaneously.

Additionally, the Golden Vortex variant has the special ability to strip golden items right off any enemy without having to kill them. This turns this prosthetic into the ultimate farming tool. Find a group of enemies near a checkpoint and activate this skill. Repeat this process to reap the rewards and get upgrades faster than expected.

You will learn to love this upgrade – especially in the late game. It is vital if you’re trying to upgrade the rest of the prosthetics easily. Since it doesn’t deal a lot of damage, you are better off using it to farm items instead of attacking.

Lazulite Shuriken

Name	Lazulite Shuriken
Spirit Emblem Cost	1

In all of its various forms, the shuriken is surprisingly effective when combined with the chasing slice and midair prosthetic arts in the skill tree. If you want to inflict the most posture damage, the highest tier of the Lazulite version is the way to go.

Shurikens can interrupt many of the weaker attack animations and, when followed up with the chasing slice; provides you with a safe way to close the gap. One of the best all-around tools in your arsenal; the Lazulite Shuriken deals a good chunk of damage and staggers most enemies.

You can cancel out most enemies’ attacks by using this tool and creating an opening to strike. Plus, you can use this in midair or even when dodging an attack.

Mountain Echo

Name	Mountain Echo
Spirit Emblem Cost	3

The Finger Whistle is a tool for you to pull individual units from a pack, but the Mountain Echo doubles its creative freedom. It allows you to set up tricky stealth kills easily. This version of the prosthetic allows you to hold down the button for a moment to lay down a sound trigger that plays after a delay.

In case you find two strong units standing back to back, you can use Mountain Echo to call one over. You can safely take down your enemies due to this tool with no fighting whatsoever if properly used. This can be a vital trick to use on some of the mini-bosses scattered throughout the world and can greatly assist you with thinning the herd.

Long Spark

Name	Long Spark
Spirit Emblem Cost	2

Moving on to my favorite all-around prosthetic upgrade in Sekiro; the Long Spark. This throws out a barrage of firecrackers that briefly stun nearly every enemy in the game. Against beast-type enemies, the effect is doubled.

The Long Spark variant stays active longer than the default firecrackers and helps you get in some free hits. It also allows the player to reset a situation that’s getting out of hand safely. This is another tool that greatly benefits from the midair prosthetics art in the skill tree. Doing so will allow you to either lead n with the stun or safely retreat away.

The Long Spark will always have your back if you want to distance yourself from the enemy to get your bearings. Since there is a decent amount of beast-type enemies in Sekiro, you can use this tool to stun them.

Conclusion

That pretty much covers the five primary upgrades for your prosthetic that I found to be most useful in most situations. Another tool I like is the fully upgraded poison daggers. They are tons of fun to use and can stagger some weaker enemies. However, the poison status effect is not that effective in Sekiro when compared to other FromSoftware games like Dark Souls 3. Since it is not that effective, I opted not to include it, but you should certainly give it a try.

If you found these tools to be fun to experiment with, leave a comment below. I would love to know which tool was most beneficial for you and which one you found to be the best. That about does it for our guide about Sekiro Best Prosthetic Upgrades.
