Sekiro: All Esoteric Texts Locations

All Esoteric Texts Locations in Sekiro

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice features an in-depth combat system centered around deflecting attacks and riposting, and the game has a few extensive skill trees for players to get into s well. Here’s where all the Esoteric Texts locations are in Sekiro.

In this game, there are a total of five Texts to pick up. Each one grants you a new skill tree to check out at the Sculptor’s Idol, and you can then spend skill points to unlock new abilities to use in battle. We’ve listed all five Esoteric Texts and their locations down below.

• Shinobi Esoteric Text: After gaining one skill point, talk to the Sculptor at the Dilapidated Temple.
• Prosthetic Esoteric Text: After getting three Shinobi Prosthetic Tools, talk to the Sculptor at the Dilapidated Temple.
• Ashina Esoteric Text: Talk to the Tengu at Ashina Castle Gate after completing his rat extermination quest.
• Mushin Esoteric Text: You need to have obtained the Ashina Text from the Tengu first. After obtaining the final skill in any of your unlocked skill trees, talk to the Tengu again.
• Senpou Esoteric Text: Found in Senpou Temple, at the very end of the side cave near the Main Hall Sculptor’s Idol.

It’s not compulsory for you to obtain all five Texts in order to complete the game, but they do provide you with a variety of very useful abilities that will help to make most boss battles easier. The Senpou Text, in particular, contains a palm strikes skill that allows you to deal extra Posture damage.

Because of that, it’s definitely recommended that you try to get all of them in a single playthrough. Even if you happen to miss one, though, you can always collect the rest in new game plus.

If you’re just getting started in the game and are wondering what the best skills are to get first, we’ve got you covered on that front as well.
