The protagonist of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is already a skilled and deadly swordsman, but the addition of the Shinobi Prosthetic arm opens up a whole new level of combat prowess. Replacing his lost left arm, the prosthetic is far more than a new limb, adding a range of new tools to use. From a simple axe to a shield umbrella and full on teleport, here are all the prosthetic arm attachments in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

All prosthetic arm attachments in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Each of the Shinobi prosthetic arm attachments offers a different tool for either traversal or combat. You’re able to cycle through different attachments, picking and choosing which to equip based on your playstyle and the enemies you face. Wolf can only equip three prosthetic attachments at a time, but swapping them in and out is a simple as opening up the game's menu.
The attachments can also be upgraded by spending Sekiro’s currency to increase their power or utility. There's a full upgrade tree for the prosthetics, letting you perform actions like followup attacks after using them or combined strikes with the swords.
Grappling Hook
A central component of
Loaded Axe
Cost: 2 Spirit Emblem
A heavier weapon, the Loaded Axe delivers a powerful blow that can shatter shields. The Axe is a slower weapon, flipping out from
Flame Vent
Cost: 3 Spirit Emblem
On the more fantastical side of things, the Flame Vent allows Sekiro to spew fire in front of him, engulfing any enemies in range. It only shoots fire over a short distance but burning deal direct damage to vitality. Fire is also essential against red-eyed beserker enemies as it's the only attack type to stagger them, letting you lay in with some sword damage. Click here for our guide to the Flame Vent location.
Loaded Shuriken
Cost: 1 Spirit Emblem
One of
Shinobi Firecracker
Cost: 2 Spirit Emblems
Sekiro can deploy a semicircle of Firecrackers to stun enemies close to him. As seen in Gameplay trailers, the Shinobi Firecracker staggers animal enemies including horsemen. This makes them near essential for certain fights such as Gyoubu Oniwa or the Blazing Bull. Click here for our guide on the Shinobi Firecracker location.
Loaded Spear
Cost: 1 Spirit Emblem
The Loaded Spear is obtained a while later than most of the other prosthetic
Mist Raven
Cost: 2 Spirit Emblems
Mist Raven is one of the few defensive shinobi prosthetic arm attachments in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Used directly before an enemy attack hits, it will cause Wolf to disappear in a shower of smoke and feathers, reforming a short distance away. While this is useful for avoiding heavy hits, Mist Raven comes into its own more when upgraded to allow a
Loaded Umbrella
Cost: 1 Spirit Emblem
A defensive tool, the Loaded Umbrella can be deployed to block powerful attacks. This isn’t a permanent shield, instead unfurling when activated to deflect a single strike. It takes time to deploy, meaning you’ll only be able to make use of it once you’ve learned an enemy’s attack patterns. Upgrades allow you to follow a successful block with a counter attack, returning the energy of the strike back at your enemy.
Sabimaru
Cost: 1 Spirit Emblem
Sabimaru is a special prosthetic tool sword that comes coated with poison. It can be used to unleash a flurry of strikes in tandem with your regular sword, inflicting poison damage on anyone who gets in its way. It's also one of the easiest shinobi prosthetic tools to completely miss as you progress through the game.
Divine Abduction
Cost: 3 Spirit Emblems
Divine Abduction is the penultimate prosthetic arm attachment, and it's fittingly fancy. Waving this fan around creates a magical gust of wind that turns all enemies near you around. It can even be used to spirit away certain NPCs who want a way out of this life...
Finger Whistle
Cost: 3 Spirit Emblems
The Finger Whistle is a special tool that can be used to drive beast enemies mad and unable to distinguish friend from foe. It can also be used to lure in individual enemies from a distance with a precise call. Obtaining it requires taking on an extremely tough boss.
