Hardest Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Bosses, Ranked
11. Emma, the Gentle Blade
Depending on certain choices you make during the course of your adventure, your erstwhile doctor can become an implacable foe during the latter half of the game. Trading her scalpel for a katana, Emma wields both with precision and compassion
Thankfully, on the spectrum of Sekiro boss encounters, the battle with the Gentle Blade is fairly straightforward. The engagement takes place in a fairly small arena, and she has access to several different techniques, but nothing near so complex as some of the other big bads. She has only a single health bar, meaning that this fight is not going to test your endurance like some others.
She does have something that the other bosses lack… Familiarity. Emma is with you from the very start of the game, and her aid is invaluable to your success. She is a constant companion and taking her life has a more emotional impact than nearly any other encounter in the game.
