Spoiler alert: After asina is invaded if you re unlock the asina outskirts stairway way idol. You do this by talking to and npc at the bottom of the main stairs if asina castle. After talking to him go left and grapple grapple onto tge roof closest to the edge of the asina castle and you will see a kite grapple onto it and progress to the idol. you can stealth kill 4 enemies for 662 exp amd one for 1200 and net 3400 amd it takes bout 30 secs. This spot is also good for sen farmin as each enemy with the demon bell rung drop over 150 sen. Hope this helps out ppl who grinding the endgame
I found another really good one for the midgame when the grey/blackish ghosts start spawning. Go to "Hidden Forest" shrine, down enter the forest but go the other way grapple back to the other ledge their two ghosts will spawn the first one you can stealthkill and the second one just r1 him down. they give you 600+ exp each, but no gold since they are ghost enemies, but works really well for me
I wish I could say the same, but in this next fight it will end the game. I'm doing the bad ending, not on purpose. But because I didnt care to look up if I should choose my father or kuro
A better late game farm is to start at the outskirts wall - stairway idol, and then you just stealth kill all the enemies on the way to the underbridge valley idol. This will net you about 8500xp/min. This only works after you've killed the divine dragon.
@@arbiter- it's on a lower leveled cliff where you drop down around the outskirts of the castle where you encounter the great serpent for the first time
For the mid game farming spot, gachiins spiritfall is a massive help, it makes it possible to basically sprint up to him and take him out and it gives you enough time to do it around 3 times
0:22 Early Game - Ashina Outskirts > Ashina Castle Gate 1:50 Mid Game - Ashina Depths > Mibu Village (He says late game but it's the midgame one) 2:56 Late Game - Fountainhead Palace > Sanctuary
I used Antechamber a lot in the early game. That area gives you a lot of divine confetti. In the mid game I farmed a lot in Gun Fort. I chose these areas because they allowed for a lot of stealth kills.
@olihaque4937 I feel like it helps you master the mechanics and has always significantly helped me personally in souls games and sekiro. I don't just gain experience in game but also irl lol
as bonus advice for the sanctuary farm, the ball kicking enemy will sometimes use it's jumping kick, allowing for an instant kill with the mid-air death blow, also if you focus on the spear enemy after that and use the vault over skill on them you can activate the bloodsmoke ninjutsu, allowing you to use a deathblow on the jumpy enemy by running behind them, this makes your runs of those enemies significantly faster.
Your walkthrough has been fantastic, I know I'm very late to the party but it's been super helpful. It's worth mentioning that if you farm the first blue kimono in antechamber repeatedly he often drops divine confetti like at a ridiculous rate, I've followed your tutorial and now at Genichiro and I've got about 22/25 Devine confetti.
For the castle gate rat farm, if you deathblow the one on the right side of the tree and dont move after, the other will trigger the perilous attack kanji and you just take one step back and swing the axe. It works everytime and will save emblems if you're short on them.
Found a new XP farm at Fountainhead Palace-Flower Viewing Stage. Spawn in look behind, double jump broken part of wall on left side until you land on the wall. Navigate over to purple spear guy, assasinate him and kill the 2 slugs leading back to Sculpture’s Idol. Gets you around 2100 XP and 300 sen every 25 seconds. Enjoy 👍🏻
You don't even need to jump the wall, just run in through the door and insta-kill both nobles then spam sabimaru on the warrior woman till she gets poisoned and finish it. Even faster this way.
Great guide. The final area you go to at 3:07 is where I've been farming. Glad to hear it's the better place (I haven't yet gone passed the top, or killed Owl father). A couple tips on this area though is 90% of the time you can get a death blow on the first guy if you don't jump early where you are going down. Instead, go further down the ramp and sprint off the edge where he would fall about 2 feet. Turn around, target and most of the time he'll go into his lightning jump. If he doesn't, just keep distance, but without aggro'ing the other two (stay out of their site). He'll jump soon, within a few seconds. I just did it 10/10 times. For people not comfortable targeting the 2 together, you can jump up and toss a shuriken at the sword wielder while staying where you killed the first. Then, crouch and go against the wall to the right. The sword swinging, jumping fool will often walk right off the ledge. You won't get his loot, but after a lengthy 10 second fall, you'll get the xp. I'm at 15 attack power and it takes me 22 runs of this to get a skill point, approximately 20-25 minutes per skill point.
Late game I personally like going to Old Grave and doing a wall deathblow on the first “Red Hat” that’s around the corner. He gives a little over 1,100 xp and drops magnetite along with a little over 100 sen. very fast and also underrated.
I like exp/item farming mid/late game on the upper floor of Ashina castle. You can get a lot of stealth kills on shinobi and the two enemy types will fight each other. The other big plus for farming there is that as far as i can tell, it's the only place you can effectively farm divine confetti long before it's available in the shops. I ran out of that stuff pretty early without having beaten most of the boss fights that really need it.
I find that if I start at Flower Viewing Stage sculpture and go back through Mibu Manor killing everything I get more XP quicker, plus get a lot of grave wax drops. You have to figure out a pattern so you don't get enfeebled, but once you get it down it's easy.
I do Flower Viewing Stage too. I just kill the 3 guys closest to the idol. 2 of them are one hit kills.. 3rd guy is fairly trivial. You can easily do this run with the Demon Bell rung, and not worry about dying. 2000 XP-ish (2160?), in a span of maybe 12-20 seconds, if you do it right. Drops maybe aren't the best for what I need, but the XP is quick and easy and safe.
If youre doing an early game farm go to gunfort and take out the shotgun guys stealthily if possible. Clear out the entire fort if you want. Nets alot of xp.
@@georgesabitpol You can get there really early. It's not an early game area per say, but you can suicide run it without killing a single enemy just to reach the bonfire. Then you simply backstab the enemy right next to it over and over again for 297exp per stab in about 15 seconds. These are guys that would otherwise fuck you up in one on one combat, but you get a one hit every time. I have only been playing for a short time and the game is starting to feel a lot larger than I originally thought
If you're going for some quick xp farming and not so much gold. Right before this level on the hidden forest, if you spawn at the hidden forest idol and turn around and grapple across you can backstab a apparition nightjar ninja for a quick 620, takes a 1/4 of the time of the mid farming method. If you're up to it you can easily kill the second dude for a total of 1200 each run in less than 30 seconds
Better to go to Fountainhead Palace, to the idol near the Bridge the carp breaks, you turn around, go inside the "ward" and stealth kill the first flutle player 500+ xp in a bit less than 10 seconds, which means 3000+ xp in a minute
Gun Fort Idol, turn around run and kill shot gun guy around the corner and run back to idol and rest. Each run is 15 sec and 297 xp and 52 Sen, no stress but mind numbing. Got this farm from you Cowboy so I thought it's worth a mention.
Diamond Empire even better is the idol right before this one with two shadow guys. you can jump then immediately backstab one and the other is easy. together it's 1200+ (vs 800) and just as fast if not more fast because you don't have to slow stealth walk.
It might have been mentioned and I know this game is pretty old now and there are hundreds of comments, but you can get to the Gun Fort Idol/Bonfire extremely early in the game, like really early. You can just suicide run there without having to kill a single enemy along the way or us a single item. Once you reach the bonfire, you just continuously backstab the enemy right next to it for about 300 exp every time. It requires no special gear or anything else and it's faster than method listed up until the mid game, just 300 over and over. However, I suggest farming the "Rats" a bit, because like cowboy says, they drop a lot of gold, sugars, and pellets. You will have a bunch of good healing and stealth items from killing them and massive amounts of gold, so it's a good idea to do that regardless. Good guide man as always.
Thanks for the guide man, I actually found that first one with the trolls as well and it was really good for farming iron and gachin orbs. Some time those last two would both drop iron
For late game farming I highly recommend the Flower Viewing Stage farm, you will get 1850 xp per run, each runs takes 20-25 seconds and there's only 1 okami warrior and 2 nobles to kill, it's also much easier than killing all those okami warriors.
If you're looking to farm xp for the achievement, I would recommend just progressing to the next ng+ cycle as xp scales up notably until ng+7. It took me until ng+4 to get enough skill points needed to unlock every skill. Just to save time and stop the monotony of farming, forget about fighting the normal enemies and skipable mini-bosses and just book it to the bosses, namely those you can access once you hit ashina castle (Go for corrupt monk first, hit the gun fort gate, and the main hall of Senpou, then rush through ashina castle and head back to those bosses that were previously under lock and key). This can make a difference later down the line when your last skillpoint requires around 80k xp and it's best to do this after you have fully upgraded your prosthetic arm and vitality. Bosses give significantly more xp than normal enemies and often can net a skillpoint or at least most of one, so burning through as many bosses as you can as fast as you can can help you grind out those last 20-30 points.
For mid=game I've been farming Upper Tower - Antechamber after the first time all the Ashina Castle Idols reset. Kill the Ashina samurai with stealth, then kill the Ministry Ninja with stealth, then rest. Not only do you get nearly 800 EXP per run, but the Ashina samurai tends to drop Divine Confetti a lot and both enemies drop upgrade materials. Ring the bell and pop some balloons for better drops.
Mid game, there’s an even better grinding spot. If you’ve killed the monk boss in Ashina depths, you can go back to the hidden forest idol. Once you are there, go backwards from the idol and rope grapple to the platform, 2 enemies will appear, you can kill the first one by backstabbing it as soon as he appears, then kil the second one, they both give you more than 300 XP and it takes less than 30 seconds to kill both and go back to the idol. So that’s at least 1,200 per minute
@@mikez423 I said less than 30 seconds, so about 20 to 25 seconds to kill both enemies. (600 xp) Around 45 seconds to do it twice which is 1,200 xp. So a in a minute, 15 more seconds, you’ll be able to kill one more
Another good one late game is at the Sakura tree idol if you sneak up on the lightning guy in the arena you can stealth kill him with puppeteer ninjitsu and he will help fight everyone there which gives 600 a pop
I’m just a little late to the party but one early ish grind spot is the gun fort. If you run back you can deathblow the enemy that gives you near 300 experience. Also gives you some decent items. Just run back and rest. Renee and repeat
So for the first one, after you kill the second little enemy stay don't move but make sure it auto targets the last little enemy and just activate the axe. It'll automatically crack his hat for the deathblow.
The best late game xp farm in my opinion is at Ashina Outskirts: Outskirts Wall - Stairway. You can get almost 4000 in under a minute just by stealth killing the guy on the lookout tower, then the one right under it and then the next 3 heading into the the area where you first find the giant. In total there's 5 guys, 4 of them give you like 620xp and the one with the fire cannon gives you about 1300. Best part, you don't even have to fight or use spirit emblems. (If when you kill the guy with the cannon you get detected by the last enemy just use Ichimoji: Double and it instantly breaks his posture.
An additional tip for the mibu village farming spot: If you have both the cerimonial tanto and gachiin's spiritfall you can use the knife to gain 5 emblems as soon as you get up from the idol, dash down, run until you see the indicator, use the spiritfall (that basically turns you invisible), run to the guy and backstab him. The good thing is that the spiritfall will last long enough for a second run, assuming you will run back to the idol, rest and run again to the guy. It generally expires a few moments after you've executed him the second time and ensures the kill without having to slow walk. This doesn't even consume emblem as you will get 5 temporary emblems from the knife and consume 4 for the spiritfall.
If you unlock the Devotion latent skill through the Temple Arts skill tree, it gets you from about 30 seconds on a Gachiin's sugar to 45. that's good for 3 to 4 runs if you don't mess up at all. Makes sneaking for the farm into just walking towards him, which is alot quicker and easier. If you're using the spiritfall, it last for about 22 seconds rather than 15 as well. Hope this helps!
@@LilAAMon75 But then you'd have to farm gachiin sugars. With the spiritfall and the knife you get infinite runs for free. Also, i haven't tried the sugar, but with the spiritfall you can straight up run up to him and he won't see you.
Oh wait it's free? Havent killed the headless in the area to get the spiritfall item yet, I've just got a bunch of gachiin's sugar from the "rat" farm spot back at the castle
@@LilAAMon75 With the Cerimonial Tanto you get 5 emblems (temporary, kinda like Bloodborne silver bullets) sacrificing half your HP bar. Spiritfall consumes 4 emblem. Basically free, since you don't need to fight, so you don't even need to heal up after using the Tanto.
@@H4P2O7 aahh yeah, I get it now. Just killed the headless! But also of you head to the ashina castle to the upper anti chamber, you can get about the same amount of xp for killing the first guy then running around the corner to kill the shinobi as well for roughly the same amount quicker without all of the shenanigans. I just got there, great place to farm magnetite after you've farmed wax off of the mibu village guy. Thanks for the help though, the buff I missed is sweet :)
One great mid-game farming spot I've found is at the hidden forest idol. Turn around from the idol and grapple up and get a deathblow on the apparition standing by the cliff, then run up and around in a circle around the second apparition and slash away until he is posture broken. Or use ichimonji double. Takes maybe 30 seconds and gets about 1240xp!
Also once you have obtained the dragon tear I recommend trying out outskirts stairway because not only it gives alot of xp but also alot of money and some rare materials you need to upgrade your prosthetic tool
2 Spirit-like Ashina Shinobi just before the Hidden Forest Idol - you can backstab one of them and second one is quite easy to deal with. On NG+2 i'm getting 4.4k exp per 30 sec.
Алексей Парамонов yea I think this is better than the purple guy right at the next idol. it's 1200+ every run (vs 800+) and just as quick once u get good @ besting second guy.
Was about to comment this. 1k exp in about 10 seconds. Break the stuff in your way after the first kill so you don't have to worry about it. Pop the infinite stealth item, and you can get 2 runs easy out of it if you need it.
@@aurumarma5711 tbh None of the late game xp farming spots are amazing (even the one at ashina castle burning) because once you need over 25000xp per level it becomes a ridiculous grind. However... once you're able to go into NG+ it gets much better, the xp dropped by enemies ja significantly increased
*2,700 A MINUTE - mid-game:* Travel to Ashina Depths > Hidden Forest. Right around the corner (opposite the forest) are two hat-wearing ninja enemies that give you 620 each. The first enemy you'll kill instantly from behind so long as you target him the moment you land from the grapple (he's invisible until you get up close.) Run up to the second one and kill him in seconds using Loaded Axe + attack (which allows 2 axe hits if you have Chasing Slice - an ability everyone should have at this point.) Once I got used to it, it took me 26 seconds to kill and rest, which averages out to roughly 2,700/minute. And while these enemies rarely drop money or items (a Yashariku Sugar when they do) the massive amount of skill points for this stage in the game is worth it IMO. Oh, and if you don't want to "waste" spirit emblems on the Axe attack don't worry: for a ninja-type enemy it's really a pushover and easily overwhelmed. Hope this helps someone.
The best is in hirata with owl bell. In the blazing village passing the ninja you find 2 archers and 3 giants. 10,000 xp per minute if you get the pace.
Gunfort sculptor's idle right after Genchiro is a great time for some quick farming. Get the bell demon effect for extra loot drops. Backstab the first shotgunner then use bloodsmoke ninjutsu. That will allow you to run around and backstab the second shotgunner. Next quickly hop onto the platform and backstab the rifleman. Drop down and backstab the monk holding the candle. After that sneak up behind the final shotgunner (bottom of the hallway, right outside the doorway). I think you get around 1100-1200 exp every minute. You can use the sen you gain to pay for spirit emblems to keep casting bloodsmoke every time you repeat the quick run.
Very good farming spot for exp, sen AND items. Pop a possession balloon, ring the demon bell and the shotgunner almost always drops pellets (+yellow/normal gunpowder for prosthetic upgrades)
You can also farm tons of xp lategame by going up from the outskirts staircase idol. the red guys each give either 660 or 1320 xp and you can easily backstab most of them. should give about 9000 xp per run
@@eskatosgaming And adamantium scrap as well. Though for anyone going for the achievement, definitely do go into NG+ first. Droprates are so much higher than in NG
This was a life saver from start to far mid game i was farming outskirts gate path to stairway and i barely got anything but there were many enemies, i found in less than 20 seconds i make 3 times more xp money and spirit emblems, you saved my sekiro experience, thank you.
A far better place is the great Sakura statue. Use your Ceremonial Tanto then Gachiins Spiritfall and then a gourd to top off. Pick any guy in the middle and stealth kill/bloodsmoke and use the Tanto immediately after while you circle behind another enemy. Rinse and repeat until you only have the archers and just run them down and R1 them to death. If you have the right skills using this will always net you more spirit emblems than you use if you use the gold to buy more, so it’s entirely sustainable. Also you regain enough health from killing enemies to keep using the Tanto without dying.
The first spot is very nice. Roughly 100-150 GP per kill and some of those candy items. Just unlocked Breath of Life: Light! Now I can heal with deathblows to enemies. Yay!
I farmed at end game burning ashina. At the ashina stairs which consisted of mostly backstabs and running it from the stairs to the ashina castle bridge where the mobs are fighting eachother i got 11k exp everyrun
Another pure xp middle farm is to go bacwards from forest of illusions idol, after you got the flower, there 2 illusions of ninjas will spawn you can imidietly backstab the first and spam the second one, each of them costs 620 xp. They do drop somthing but have no money though...
@@jessie8521 You can get 1 divine confetti every 2 runs consistently when killing the blue robed enemies if you have rung the Demon Bell at the Bell Demon's Temple. More will drop if you're also using a Mibu Possession Balloon in conjunction. This is how I farmed them for specific bosses.
My favorite spot (even though it's not nearly as efficient as these) is the single Shinobi in the antechamber just below owl. Once you've beaten that mini boss, you can just stealth kill him over and over again. Takes like half a minute, nets you 500 xp and 50 gold, and requires zero thought, which of course means you can watch cowboys videos while farming.
For late game I recommend Ashina Castle UpperTower - Antechamber. The purple warrior right next to the idol up the stairs gives you 1,052 exp, but the catch is you can backstab him easily. I was able to get 8,416 exp in 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Great for watching videos on your phone as you’re farming.
Middle of the game, go to the hidden village idol, turn around. And there will be two spirit feather guys. Backstab one and kill the other quickly, takes about 10 seconds and they each give 620, rinse and repeat. You don’t even need to homeward idol out, super close to idol so just go rest🤙🏻
go to upper tower antechamber and execute the assassin at the top of the stairs he gives 1060 and it takes literally 5 seconds so essentially in 60s you get 12720 in 60 seconds
For late game, I like to spawn at Ashina Castle Antechamber. Sneak up behind purple shinobi who is MAYBE ten feet away from the idol. Rinse and repeat. He gives 1000 exp each time. In short, walk ten feet, stealth kill, walk ten feet back, rest. Edit: Mispelled Ashina
Vincent Nyrva It's VERY late game. If you're at the final boss, ashina is in flames. Depending on which ending you are going for. It should be night time. Spawn at Upper Tower - Antechamber. The purple shinobe is there and drops 1052 exp.
Going up to ashina castle antichamber (or the other sculpture on the other side) and stealth killing the purple kicking dudes gets you 2k xp each with the demon bell (idk how much without). Its a really quick way of getting xp at endgame.
Post game, ashina outskirts, stairway idol. 5 quick, easy deathblows on the ministry samurai in a circuit from the sculpture. Start with the gun tower, drop bushes for a deathblow. Another just through the gate, catch the remaining two as they walk up the stairs.
i actually did the whole way through until the bridge. popped a yellow balloon and ran back as well. Got to do a re-run while it was still active and ended up with 70K sen after a bunch of easy runs
I got one that's about 4000xp per min mid game When ashina castle is locked, go back to the ante chamber, jump out the window, there's three lone ninja you can backstab if you use smoke screen deathblow. Just run straight towards the closest one, back stab then smoke screen. Then go around the second ninja and backstab him ONLY right before the screen smoke completely dissipate (if not the third one will not jump down), then smoke screen again and go around the third one and backstab. Rinse and repeat
I've been killing the one shot enemies that can take away health bar (Like DS3 dungeon crazy ladies). There are two next to the sculptor's idol where the giant fish breaks the bridge. I gain like 400 xp and 200 some gold in 10 seconds. It's the idol between Sakura and Corrupted monk. You can also use Mibo balloon and get around 19 kills in for extra 450% gold. This is best for xp though, i'd have to do mine 7 times to equal yours, but mine is quicker lol.
One thing I don't see mentioned often is the Hidden Forest spot. If you port to the idol, turn around and grapple across the gap, there's a Nightjar ninja immediately as you land with his back turned to you that you can stealth kill for ~660xp. There's another one that spots you when you do this but you can just grapple back and rest at the bonfire if you don't wanna deal with him. If you run at him and hit him with a Sparking Axe + Followup you can instakill him for another 660xp, rinse and repeat. About 1300xp every 30 seconds.
There's three cannon guys within about 15 steps of each other there. Run from the idol backstab the one the the tunnel, run out, get the one next to the fire. Jump up onto platform next to you, murder normal gun guy. Ariel takedown old lady coming up the hall and run out there, directly right of where you exit is another cannon guy. So about 1030 xp in about 30 seconds if you're quick enough
An even better lategame farming area if you have the castle overrun triggered, is just the steps leading the the castle. Each red ninja(samurai?) gets you like 650 xp, and takes roughly a minute and a half once youre good at it, and its like 2600 total, so like 2k a minute? Ive been using it to get ready for the emma fight
I have a spot that that can probably earn 5k to 6k xp per minute at Ashina outskirts after the final interior ministry attack. It’s the idol right by the first bound ogre, and you just need to kill the 3 gunmen, the swordsman, and the cannon guy for about 4K xp, then rest and repeat.
Before the final boss you can go to ashina dojo idol and in the room in front of the bonfire theres a purple guy that you can stealth kill for about 360 ish xp and another guy downstairs in the room where the two guards and woman used to be before what happens to ashina happens that you can also stealth kill for about 1050 xp so you get about a little over 1400 xp in about 8 to 10 seconds and this includes the time it takes to get back to the idol. This is a great way to farm pellets and prosthetic upgrade material. Before what happens to ashina the blue dudes are still there you can farm them for pellets as well as divine confetti. Im full on pellets and confetti because of those runs. Very good farming spot
Check out new spot I just found: Late game, when Ashina is on fire, before killing Night Owl Start at Antechamber idol Kill blue robe dude then go to next room and kill purple dude. Run through next room up to dojo and kill another purple dude. Run back down and jump through hole - grapple onto timber beam and then jump down and land on door. Wait for red hats to walk forward, assassinate first one then run down and follow next one to kill Run away and use homeward idol, rinse and repeat XP: 2529 Time: 1min 20secs ish
My best mid game spot is gun fort. Start from the cave. Stealth death low the big cannon guy, grapple up quick kill little guy, jump left and go up the branch to the top guy stealth kill, jump down one stealth kill, walk a little bit then jump down and stealth kill again. Run up to the original entrance to the gun fort to back stack. Then back track up to the outside entrance of the wooden wall barricade and jump assassinate the last big gun guy you started initially. Takes under a minute and nets a shit ton of money. I go here before genichiro to get double ichimonji and some other stuff. If I have a lot of time I’ll knock out mortal blade requirements completely.
Awesome video however I feel as though the Ashina Outskirts Stairway farming in late game is better. 4 soldiers give 660 sp each 1 flamesamurai give 1364 sp Giving a total of 4k sp every 30 seconds if you can get it down. Plus the Sen and items you get is amazing.
@@AOTheKidd stealth kill the first ghost, attack the second, break his posture pretty easy and you'd get your health back with a deathblow if you have that passive ability, so nothing to worry about really oh and parry his moves if you're skilled at parrying.
An easy way to get the mid game farm XP even before the genichiro fight, after getting sabimaru, if you're brave enough, go to the ashina depths via bottomless hole, do not go to sunken valley or senpou, getting there relys on having not killed the guardian ape, kill snake eyes, and the headless ape arena will be empty for now, (if you didn't fight the ape previously) grapple up and go through the forest skip passed everything for Now unless you have level up some, kill mist noble with sabimaru + slashes (don't let up) after the mist is dispelled proceed through to the mibu village idol, and start farming the shinobi, make sure to have the essential stealth skills. Happy hunting!
outskirts wall - stairway is better xp. stealth killing the 5 guys starting from the funner on the top you can grapple to from statue. if one gets triggered, double ichimongi for instant deathblow. rinse, repeat. thank me later xd
Yeah, that one's the best by far the best and it doesn't require to waste a whole bunch of spirit emblems. Which you eventually end up capping at 999, but still
You can get much more xp and a hell of a lot of sen if you farm the Mibu Manor in Fountainhead Palace although it is late game. Be careful not to become enfeebled as this will most likely mean death. Acquire both virtuous deed perks in the temple arts skill tree and make sure to use Mibu Balloons of Wealth for the additional sen
Best and easiest endgame farm: last idol in Hirata estate revisited before you fight Owl. Turn around and backstab the patroling spear guard right by the idol... 880xp, 132 sen, and guaranteed scrap iron and either light purse/gokan sugar. Repeat. Takes absolutely no time at all.
@@chrisj403 you can disable the bell effect at any time using a bell demon item in your inventory (you get it once you ring the bell, you can do it multiple times)
@@chrisj403 nah, as many times as you want, at one point i even forgot to disable it and beat like 2 bosses this way only to realise it was on XD it doesn't make it that much harder apart from the bosses tbh
This video has proven abundantly useful to me I can’t think you enough for it, I used all three, I found for the second one using gachins allows you to run up to him which at least to me seems to over time speed up the so acquisition quite a bit
Mibu Village/ Ashina Depts----- Use Gavhiins candy and you can run up behind guy for quick kill at 798 points. Or go ahead and kill the headless that's on the way to this farm spot and you will get Gachiins SPIRITFALL. Which you can use with spirit emblems... so it's endless and you can easily crank out 16 points here if you wait to do any farming in game.
Spoilers for three boss names from mid/late game What he's refering to is a puprle ninja that replaces a blue samurai right next to the idol for the Ashina Castle Antechamber. Guardian Ape and Corrupt Monk (ghost) should be dead for the ninja to show up, if not then go kill Divine Dragon.
a better mid game farm is gun fort idol in sunken valley. with divine abduction tool, it takes about 1:30 to get 1800 xp, without it, 2 min. first backtrack and kill the first shotgun enemy in the big room. With the DA, kill the second, without, skip him for now. grapple up to the palisade and kill the rifleman, then jump off and to the left. grapple the slingshot, then the tree branch, and kill the riflemen on the 3 platforms. from the middle platform, look over the edge and you can see 1 of 2 riflemen on the ledge below, jump and kill him, turn around, kill the 2nd on the ledge below you. climb back up to where you killed the 4th rifleman (lowest of the 3 platforms) and run up to the cave, hugging the left wall. kill the final shotgun enemy, then either kill the crier outright or from around the corner. If you didn't kill the 2nd shotgun in the big room earlier, now's your chance. repeat.
In the sanctuary at the idle save thing number 4, before the bridge, you can farm 4000 exp every 35-40 sec 1 monkey warriror on stealth and 2 bloodborne monsters, sorry for my terminology, I am from another country.
Just wanted to share some tips for those farming the okami warriors. Following the route that's shown, when you jump down to fight the first okami warrior you can actually just r1 spam her for the deathblow if you need to save emblems. Then, on the same platform where you fought the first okami, you can throw a shuriken at the leftmost one to lure her to the platform and seperate her from the other warrior. She will go up the stairs and then jump down where you can sort of steer her behind the stairs with the sabimaru spam. Lastly, when fighting the third okami you can usually stand in the pool of water below as she will reliably jump down in front of you. She will be open for a moment where you can then start sabimaru spam. Sometimes, she will start jumping away from you, if this happens hit her with a shuriken to stop her, and deal posture damage. Hope this helps anybody farming the okami warriors. Good luck grinding Y'all.
I know I'm late to the party, but I grind at the hidden forest idol. If you go back towards the area where you fought the two apes, two ghost nightjar guys appear (at least in my game). You can stealth kill the first as soon as it appears. The other one will attack and I just spam whirlwind slash til he dies. Takes 15-30 seconds, depending on how you deal with that last nightjar. They give 620 xp each. 1240 xp for 20ish seconds is pretty good. Then just go back to the idol, rest, and repeat.
For the kate game one you can just bait the 2 together by jumping if the kedge neer the tree trunk you can graple too and they just fall down the moment you jump down and graple back unless they are in animation kf attacking or their death blow
The best xp farm after Divine Dragon is at the antechamber. About 1050 per run in about 8 seconds. Just kill the purple guy behind the wall immediately after the stairs. After the first run, destroy the thin wall and anything on the floor the could alert him on the next run. They will not get repaired after you rest.
I don't know how many of you found the place where I farm my xp but I farm at Ashina depth poison pool. Kill the rpg guy or whatever that's on top on of the hill above the sculptors idol and commune with it. Really because each time you get to kill the guy with stealth and you can't miss on that.
For mid-game I find the gun fort to be a good grind spot, just go to the save point inside the caves and work your way outside stealthing all the enemies. The bigger gun dudes give 300 exp each. With bell demon you get tons of mats.
There's 3 dudes that give 300 exp each(900) right next to the gun fort idol, and all the smaller dudes give you around 150 I think. So I don't know which is faster. The entire gun fort route gets you about 2K exp per run.
Hey, POI for the last farm, it is only a few seconds slower to farm the purple lad at the end of the broken bridge by Feeding Grounds, but it is a free deathblow and doesn't cost any spirit emblems. Same type drops too.
If you are late game literaly every run thrughout ashina castle or fountainhead is a good farming spot...at the very end game you can even make an entire run on that area Hatred Demon destroyed, you can get like ~40k a run
Hey fightin cowboy I wanted your viewers to know that the purple ninja you are farming for mid game is a great spot. It may not seem like a lot if you're doing it for xp because you have to spend a lot of time doing this to level up your skill points. At least where I'm at in the game. However, what makes this spot ideal for farming is the fact that you get 2 spirit emblems and 84 sen each time. Now I'm trying to defeat the guardian ape, and I used every last one of my spirit emblems. It sucks. But in doing this for 5 minutes (including spending the 84 sen on spirit emblems each time) I have achieved 1 skill point and 131 spirit emblems. I didn't think this farm worked at first because he kept seeing me but once I figured out if you're in that little cut in the wall right before you get to him you are basically invisible to him. I wanted to thank you fightin cowdude for showin me this. I'm just an old country girl too. 👍
I just wanted to say 2 things: 1st. Thank you so much for this update guide. 2nd. At the fountainhead palace sanctuary. The sword guy can actually be baited off the ledge about 90 percent of the time resulting in an instant kill and shaving 10 seconds off the total run tim.
BRO!! AWESOME FARM!! THANK YOU! mibu village was a great stomping ground, but that scumbag always saw me, thanks for the tip on how to get there, almost 800 per kill!! Thanks and thanks for all your videos on EVERYTHING ELSE!!!
I was farming Harada Estate path all the way from idol to idol, but it was taking forever. i'm really early game right now and trying to power up before i attempt Genichiro, so the early game farm is gonna be key. thanks, keep it up
So, I think a better spot for late game farming that is also easier and doesn’t require a specific tool, is Mibu Manor, going around kill the flute players. Each one gives 530 Skill per kill, and you can kill a total of 9 you can kill in the immediate area. And in the late game you have enough attack power to one shot them. I’ve been getting about 4,770 Skill per run at least. Edit: It’s also great for Sen farming. At least 1,200 Sen per run as well using Gold Balloon.
Real quick, the best farm I’ve found is the area with all the blue garbed palace nobles in the fountain head palace. It’s the place that is right before the bridge that the carp eats. Good place for farming upgrade materials as well, since Lumps are some of the hardest to come upon (at least for me). Just be sure to use a Gachiin.
I’ve been backstabbing the black robed monk before OF at Hirata. The 3 Okami are two risky and can take minutes depending on rng. If the two Okami get aggroed at once and start lightning spamming, there’s often nothing you can do but die. Backstabbing single enemy takes like 10-15 seconds. Found it much more efficient and safer. Comments mention purple guy in Ashina antechamber, sounds maybe even better. Love fightincowboy’s guides tho, the best.
Best late game XP farm is hirata audience chamber (statue before the owl father boss fight). You get 880/run and can do 4 runs in a minute. Just death blow the one dude walking the hallway behind the curtain
One place I like is the road with the monks in Senpou Temple, you gotta have the Puppeteer ninjutsu and sneak in and stealthily convert a few monks to your cause, when they all die all the way to the upper temple with two guards, you get a lot of XP there
Big thanks to all of the community for sharing methods you found that helped make a more optimized guide! What other guides do y'all want to see?
Spoiler alert:
After asina is invaded if you re unlock the asina outskirts stairway way idol. You do this by talking to and npc at the bottom of the main stairs if asina castle. After talking to him go left and grapple grapple onto tge roof closest to the edge of the asina castle and you will see a kite grapple onto it and progress to the idol. you can stealth kill 4 enemies for 662 exp amd one for 1200 and net 3400 amd it takes bout 30 secs. This spot is also good for sen farmin as each enemy with the demon bell rung drop over 150 sen. Hope this helps out ppl who grinding the endgame
are you in ng+ in the vid?
if not ive missed a lot of mini and normal bosses
@@ItsCaxty I didn't read what you put but thank you for being one of the few people who doesn't use "Spoiler Alert" as some way to be edgy.
I found another really good one for the midgame when the grey/blackish ghosts start spawning. Go to "Hidden Forest" shrine, down enter the forest but go the other way grapple back to the other ledge their two ghosts will spawn the first one you can stealthkill and the second one just r1 him down. they give you 600+ exp each, but no gold since they are ghost enemies, but works really well for me
This is post game but not NG+
Watching this video makes me realize how much more I have to do in this game. I thought I was so far...
Same lol
I wish I could say the same, but in this next fight it will end the game. I'm doing the bad ending, not on purpose. But because I didnt care to look up if I should choose my father or kuro

Mid game?
@@TUB3T3CH why didn't you create a backup save file?
A better late game farm is to start at the outskirts wall - stairway idol, and then you just stealth kill all the enemies on the way to the underbridge valley idol. This will net you about 8500xp/min. This only works after you've killed the divine dragon.
By far the best run thank you
I can't for the life of me remember where the underbridge valley idol was.
@@arbiter- it's on a lower leveled cliff where you drop down around the outskirts of the castle where you encounter the great serpent for the first time

@@fuqis boring as fuck and no sen
For the mid game farming spot, gachiins spiritfall is a massive help, it makes it possible to basically sprint up to him and take him out and it gives you enough time to do it around 3 times
or just jump on him using gachin much faster and less likely to be noticed
For future readers of this comment: the gachiins spirit fall in found at the headless in the ashina depths (right before mist noble)

W mans
I used Antechamber a lot in the early game. That area gives you a lot of divine confetti. In the mid game I farmed a lot in Gun Fort. I chose these areas because they allowed for a lot of stealth kills.
Literally me rn
it gets really boring though just doing the same thing over and over but definitely worth it.
@@Soulkollextor that’s why you put on a tv show😊
@@SoulkollextorThats called farming
@olihaque4937 I feel like it helps you master the mechanics and has always significantly helped me personally in souls games and sekiro. I don't just gain experience in game but also irl lol
as bonus advice for the sanctuary farm, the ball kicking enemy will sometimes use it's jumping kick, allowing for an instant kill with the mid-air death blow, also if you focus on the spear enemy after that and use the vault over skill on them you can activate the bloodsmoke ninjutsu, allowing you to use a deathblow on the jumpy enemy by running behind them, this makes your runs of those enemies significantly faster.
Your walkthrough has been fantastic, I know I'm very late to the party but it's been super helpful. It's worth mentioning that if you farm the first blue kimono in antechamber repeatedly he often drops divine confetti like at a ridiculous rate, I've followed your tutorial and now at Genichiro and I've got about 22/25 Devine confetti.

For the castle gate rat farm, if you deathblow the one on the right side of the tree and dont move after, the other will trigger the perilous attack kanji and you just take one step back and swing the axe. It works everytime and will save emblems if you're short on them.
Bro this made this so fast and efficient. Thank you so much.
@@ThePyroJinx you're welcome, dude!
Found a new XP farm at Fountainhead Palace-Flower Viewing Stage. Spawn in look behind, double jump broken part of wall on left side until you land on the wall. Navigate over to purple spear guy, assasinate him and kill the 2 slugs leading back to Sculpture’s Idol. Gets you around 2100 XP and 300 sen every 25 seconds. Enjoy 👍🏻
Baltzer Family this a good one
This is the best and most efficient method for late game imo
You can run this entire area in 2 min 20 sec and pull in 9600 XP and 1700 gold just leave the 2 slugs on the bridge till last
Even better when you have the Demon Bell since the Spear lady will drop Adamantite while the 2 nobles drop grave wax
You don't even need to jump the wall, just run in through the door and insta-kill both nobles then spam sabimaru on the warrior woman till she gets poisoned and finish it. Even faster this way.
Great guide. The final area you go to at 3:07 is where I've been farming. Glad to hear it's the better place (I haven't yet gone passed the top, or killed Owl father). A couple tips on this area though is 90% of the time you can get a death blow on the first guy if you don't jump early where you are going down. Instead, go further down the ramp and sprint off the edge where he would fall about 2 feet. Turn around, target and most of the time he'll go into his lightning jump. If he doesn't, just keep distance, but without aggro'ing the other two (stay out of their site). He'll jump soon, within a few seconds. I just did it 10/10 times.
For people not comfortable targeting the 2 together, you can jump up and toss a shuriken at the sword wielder while staying where you killed the first. Then, crouch and go against the wall to the right. The sword swinging, jumping fool will often walk right off the ledge. You won't get his loot, but after a lengthy 10 second fall, you'll get the xp. I'm at 15 attack power and it takes me 22 runs of this to get a skill point, approximately 20-25 minutes per skill point.
Late game I personally like going to Old Grave and doing a wall deathblow on the first “Red Hat” that’s around the corner. He gives a little over 1,100 xp and drops magnetite along with a little over 100 sen. very fast and also underrated.
I like exp/item farming mid/late game on the upper floor of Ashina castle. You can get a lot of stealth kills on shinobi and the two enemy types will fight each other. The other big plus for farming there is that as far as i can tell, it's the only place you can effectively farm divine confetti long before it's available in the shops. I ran out of that stuff pretty early without having beaten most of the boss fights that really need it.
I find that if I start at Flower Viewing Stage sculpture and go back through Mibu Manor killing everything I get more XP quicker, plus get a lot of grave wax drops. You have to figure out a pattern so you don't get enfeebled, but once you get it down it's easy.
Great sakura idol works better bc its faster
I do Flower Viewing Stage too. I just kill the 3 guys closest to the idol. 2 of them are one hit kills.. 3rd guy is fairly trivial. You can easily do this run with the Demon Bell rung, and not worry about dying. 2000 XP-ish (2160?), in a span of maybe 12-20 seconds, if you do it right. Drops maybe aren't the best for what I need, but the XP is quick and easy and safe.
@@its_nick_2437 it isn’t faster, I timed the 2 and doing the viewing stage is better
@@nickfreeman8264 3 month comment but if you do the math it's more xp per minute
@@its_nick_2437 roughly rounded to about 1:15 min per run give or take a few sec and the overall xp of sakura is slightly higher
If youre doing an early game farm go to gunfort and take out the shotgun guys stealthily if possible. Clear out the entire fort if you want. Nets alot of xp.
Early game! Makes me wonder how big that game is!!!
@@georgesabitpol You can get there really early. It's not an early game area per say, but you can suicide run it without killing a single enemy just to reach the bonfire. Then you simply backstab the enemy right next to it over and over again for 297exp per stab in about 15 seconds. These are guys that would otherwise fuck you up in one on one combat, but you get a one hit every time. I have only been playing for a short time and the game is starting to feel a lot larger than I originally thought
If you're going for some quick xp farming and not so much gold. Right before this level on the hidden forest, if you spawn at the hidden forest idol and turn around and grapple across you can backstab a apparition nightjar ninja for a quick 620, takes a 1/4 of the time of the mid farming method. If you're up to it you can easily kill the second dude for a total of 1200 each run in less than 30 seconds
Yeah, also using this one and it's about 30% faster than the mid game method in this video.
Better to go to Fountainhead Palace, to the idol near the Bridge the carp breaks, you turn around, go inside the "ward" and stealth kill the first flutle player 500+ xp in a bit less than 10 seconds, which means 3000+ xp in a minute
Thanks so much bro
Gun Fort Idol, turn around run and kill shot gun guy around the corner and run back to idol and rest. Each run is 15 sec and 297 xp and 52 Sen, no stress but mind numbing. Got this farm from you Cowboy so I thought it's worth a mention.
Just tried it. This is a really good farm, thanks!
Perfect im sitting in Mibu village farming these repetitive gremlins but this is so much better! Thank you Cowboy!
Is mibu village post guardian ape in ashina depths?
@@TNEtonymonteiro Nope, you can fight Guardian Ape after completing Mibu and defeating the first Corrupted Monk.
Diamond Empire even better is the idol right before this one with two shadow guys. you can jump then immediately backstab one and the other is easy. together it's 1200+ (vs 800) and just as fast if not more fast because you don't have to slow stealth walk.
It might have been mentioned and I know this game is pretty old now and there are hundreds of comments, but you can get to the Gun Fort Idol/Bonfire extremely early in the game, like really early. You can just suicide run there without having to kill a single enemy along the way or us a single item. Once you reach the bonfire, you just continuously backstab the enemy right next to it for about 300 exp every time. It requires no special gear or anything else and it's faster than method listed up until the mid game, just 300 over and over. However, I suggest farming the "Rats" a bit, because like cowboy says, they drop a lot of gold, sugars, and pellets. You will have a bunch of good healing and stealth items from killing them and massive amounts of gold, so it's a good idea to do that regardless. Good guide man as always.
Thanks for the guide man, I actually found that first one with the trolls as well and it was really good for farming iron and gachin orbs. Some time those last two would both drop iron
They're called "rats"
But idk their actual name I just said what "tengu" said
No way.. Best end game farming is the Outskirts Stairway during twilight. There are 5 enemies there that can all be quickly stealth killed for 5k xp.
Was about to point that out. Plus if you have the Bell Demon active you'll get loads of Fulminated Mercury in the process!
Oh shit gotta try that out
akou12 you don’t need much fulminated mercury anyway. Since you can only upgrade 2 items on your first playthrough
what if youre at isshin sword saint though and you havent maxed a tree to 5 yet for whatever emma gives you xD
That's not early game.
For late game farming I highly recommend the Flower Viewing Stage farm, you will get 1850 xp per run, each runs takes 20-25 seconds and there's only 1 okami warrior and 2 nobles to kill, it's also much easier than killing all those okami warriors.
If you're looking to farm xp for the achievement, I would recommend just progressing to the next ng+ cycle as xp scales up notably until ng+7. It took me until ng+4 to get enough skill points needed to unlock every skill. Just to save time and stop the monotony of farming, forget about fighting the normal enemies and skipable mini-bosses and just book it to the bosses, namely those you can access once you hit ashina castle (Go for corrupt monk first, hit the gun fort gate, and the main hall of Senpou, then rush through ashina castle and head back to those bosses that were previously under lock and key). This can make a difference later down the line when your last skillpoint requires around 80k xp and it's best to do this after you have fully upgraded your prosthetic arm and vitality. Bosses give significantly more xp than normal enemies and often can net a skillpoint or at least most of one, so burning through as many bosses as you can as fast as you can can help you grind out those last 20-30 points.
For mid=game I've been farming Upper Tower - Antechamber after the first time all the Ashina Castle Idols reset. Kill the Ashina samurai with stealth, then kill the Ministry Ninja with stealth, then rest. Not only do you get nearly 800 EXP per run, but the Ashina samurai tends to drop Divine Confetti a lot and both enemies drop upgrade materials. Ring the bell and pop some balloons for better drops.
Mid game, there’s an even better grinding spot. If you’ve killed the monk boss in Ashina depths, you can go back to the hidden forest idol. Once you are there, go backwards from the idol and rope grapple to the platform, 2 enemies will appear, you can kill the first one by backstabbing it as soon as he appears, then kil the second one, they both give you more than 300 XP and it takes less than 30 seconds to kill both and go back to the idol. So that’s at least 1,200 per minute
The math ain't mathing my guy 😂, but it's a good tip tho
To add on to that if anyone sees this, backstab the first one like op said, then use divine abduction for the second one and backstab :)
@@mikez423 I said less than 30 seconds, so about 20 to 25 seconds to kill both enemies. (600 xp) Around 45 seconds to do it twice which is 1,200 xp. So a in a minute, 15 more seconds, you’ll be able to kill one more
@@mikez423 fixed the math lol
Another good one late game is at the Sakura tree idol if you sneak up on the lightning guy in the arena you can stealth kill him with puppeteer ninjitsu and he will help fight everyone there which gives 600 a pop
Which is the lightning guy? I sprinted towards the checkpoint when I saw the group
@@migueljuarez6788 He is the guy in the middle arena and with the purple robes doing training
nah. half the time he turns around before you can backstab
@@archivelibrarian6818 I was pretty able to consistently do it i don't know what's happening then
@@okaberintorouwithagun it could be that i dont have the suppress sound skill unlocked.
I’m just a little late to the party but one early ish grind spot is the gun fort. If you run back you can deathblow the enemy that gives you near 300 experience. Also gives you some decent items. Just run back and rest. Renee and repeat
Love the Content, Always helping me out in these types of games... Would've never beaten DS 1,2 and BloodBourne without you.
Bloodborne*
So for the first one, after you kill the second little enemy stay don't move but make sure it auto targets the last little enemy and just activate the axe. It'll automatically crack his hat for the deathblow.
The best late game xp farm in my opinion is at Ashina Outskirts: Outskirts Wall - Stairway. You can get almost 4000 in under a minute just by stealth killing the guy on the lookout tower, then the one right under it and then the next 3 heading into the the area where you first find the giant. In total there's 5 guys, 4 of them give you like 620xp and the one with the fire cannon gives you about 1300. Best part, you don't even have to fight or use spirit emblems. (If when you kill the guy with the cannon you get detected by the last enemy just use Ichimoji: Double and it instantly breaks his posture.
im saving this
I've been running the same path except I run all the way to the bridge. Easy backstabs then use homeward idol
An additional tip for the mibu village farming spot:
If you have both the cerimonial tanto and gachiin's spiritfall you can use the knife to gain 5 emblems as soon as you get up from the idol, dash down, run until you see the indicator, use the spiritfall (that basically turns you invisible), run to the guy and backstab him.
The good thing is that the spiritfall will last long enough for a second run, assuming you will run back to the idol, rest and run again to the guy. It generally expires a few moments after you've executed him the second time and ensures the kill without having to slow walk.
This doesn't even consume emblem as you will get 5 temporary emblems from the knife and consume 4 for the spiritfall.
If you unlock the Devotion latent skill through the Temple Arts skill tree, it gets you from about 30 seconds on a Gachiin's sugar to 45. that's good for 3 to 4 runs if you don't mess up at all. Makes sneaking for the farm into just walking towards him, which is alot quicker and easier. If you're using the spiritfall, it last for about 22 seconds rather than 15 as well. Hope this helps!
@@LilAAMon75 But then you'd have to farm gachiin sugars. With the spiritfall and the knife you get infinite runs for free. Also, i haven't tried the sugar, but with the spiritfall you can straight up run up to him and he won't see you.
Oh wait it's free? Havent killed the headless in the area to get the spiritfall item yet, I've just got a bunch of gachiin's sugar from the "rat" farm spot back at the castle
@@LilAAMon75 With the Cerimonial Tanto you get 5 emblems (temporary, kinda like Bloodborne silver bullets) sacrificing half your HP bar. Spiritfall consumes 4 emblem.
Basically free, since you don't need to fight, so you don't even need to heal up after using the Tanto.
@@H4P2O7 aahh yeah, I get it now. Just killed the headless! But also of you head to the ashina castle to the upper anti chamber, you can get about the same amount of xp for killing the first guy then running around the corner to kill the shinobi as well for roughly the same amount quicker without all of the shenanigans. I just got there, great place to farm magnetite after you've farmed wax off of the mibu village guy. Thanks for the help though, the buff I missed is sweet :)
One great mid-game farming spot I've found is at the hidden forest idol. Turn around from the idol and grapple up and get a deathblow on the apparition standing by the cliff, then run up and around in a circle around the second apparition and slash away until he is posture broken. Or use ichimonji double. Takes maybe 30 seconds and gets about 1240xp!
I know im a year late but tysm for this one
W farming spot
bout to try thnx
Also once you have obtained the dragon tear I recommend trying out outskirts stairway because not only it gives alot of xp but also alot of money and some rare materials you need to upgrade your prosthetic tool
Awesome video! The purple ninja in Mibu Village is so great! As soon as you are behind her, the detection bar stops filling up!
2 Spirit-like Ashina Shinobi just before the Hidden Forest Idol - you can backstab one of them and second one is quite easy to deal with. On NG+2 i'm getting 4.4k exp per 30 sec.
Алексей Парамонов yea I think this is better than the purple guy right at the next idol. it's 1200+ every run (vs 800+) and just as quick once u get good @ besting second guy.
yes, this is the best mid game farm, and mid game is where you farm the most
The ninja at antechamber when ashina is burning is better than this late game farm.
Literally turn one corner death blow everytime for 1060xp
Was about to comment this. 1k exp in about 10 seconds. Break the stuff in your way after the first kill so you don't have to worry about it. Pop the infinite stealth item, and you can get 2 runs easy out of it if you need it.
@@aurumarma5711 tbh
None of the late game xp farming spots are amazing (even the one at ashina castle burning) because once you need over 25000xp per level it becomes a ridiculous grind.
However... once you're able to go into NG+ it gets much better, the xp dropped by enemies ja significantly increased
Even better is the samurai at the Reservoir idol. Run like twenty feet, deathblow, rinse and repeat for nearly 1,600 xp and 130+ sen
On further farming of this dude you don't even need the stealth item. I just walk right up to him from slightly to the side of him.
When does a Ashina start burning? After Lady Butterfly??
*2,700 A MINUTE - mid-game:* Travel to Ashina Depths > Hidden Forest. Right around the corner (opposite the forest) are two hat-wearing ninja enemies that give you 620 each. The first enemy you'll kill instantly from behind so long as you target him the moment you land from the grapple (he's invisible until you get up close.) Run up to the second one and kill him in seconds using Loaded Axe + attack (which allows 2 axe hits if you have Chasing Slice - an ability everyone should have at this point.) Once I got used to it, it took me 26 seconds to kill and rest, which averages out to roughly 2,700/minute. And while these enemies rarely drop money or items (a Yashariku Sugar when they do) the massive amount of skill points for this stage in the game is worth it IMO. Oh, and if you don't want to "waste" spirit emblems on the Axe attack don't worry: for a ninja-type enemy it's really a pushover and easily overwhelmed. Hope this helps someone.
The best is in hirata with owl bell. In the blazing village passing the ninja you find 2 archers and 3 giants. 10,000 xp per minute if you get the pace.
Gunfort sculptor's idle right after Genchiro is a great time for some quick farming.
Get the bell demon effect for extra loot drops. Backstab the first shotgunner then use bloodsmoke ninjutsu. That will allow you to run around and backstab the second shotgunner. Next quickly hop onto the platform and backstab the rifleman. Drop down and backstab the monk holding the candle. After that sneak up behind the final shotgunner (bottom of the hallway, right outside the doorway). I think you get around 1100-1200 exp every minute. You can use the sen you gain to pay for spirit emblems to keep casting bloodsmoke every time you repeat the quick run.
Very good farming spot for exp, sen AND items. Pop a possession balloon, ring the demon bell and the shotgunner almost always drops pellets (+yellow/normal gunpowder for prosthetic upgrades)
You can also farm tons of xp lategame by going up from the outskirts staircase idol. the red guys each give either 660 or 1320 xp and you can easily backstab most of them. should give about 9000 xp per run
You can farm mercury from these guys too
Its 4160 per run
@@Kamina-brah it's more then that, you kill 2-4 guys for 1320 each and 6-8 guys for 660 each.
@@eskatosgaming And adamantium scrap as well. Though for anyone going for the achievement, definitely do go into NG+ first. Droprates are so much higher than in NG
This was a life saver from start to far mid game i was farming outskirts gate path to stairway and i barely got anything but there were many enemies, i found in less than 20 seconds i make 3 times more xp money and spirit emblems, you saved my sekiro experience, thank you.
A far better place is the great Sakura statue. Use your Ceremonial Tanto then Gachiins Spiritfall and then a gourd to top off. Pick any guy in the middle and stealth kill/bloodsmoke and use the Tanto immediately after while you circle behind another enemy. Rinse and repeat until you only have the archers and just run them down and R1 them to death.
If you have the right skills using this will always net you more spirit emblems than you use if you use the gold to buy more, so it’s entirely sustainable. Also you regain enough health from killing enemies to keep using the Tanto without dying.
The first spot is very nice. Roughly 100-150 GP per kill and some of those candy items. Just unlocked Breath of Life: Light! Now I can heal with deathblows to enemies. Yay!
I farmed at end game burning ashina. At the ashina stairs which consisted of mostly backstabs and running it from the stairs to the ashina castle bridge where the mobs are fighting eachother i got 11k exp everyrun
Another pure xp middle farm is to go bacwards from forest of illusions idol, after you got the flower, there 2 illusions of ninjas will spawn you can imidietly backstab the first and spam the second one, each of them costs 620 xp. They do drop somthing but have no money though...
What would be nice to see is material farm what would be a good place to get pellets,divine confetti etc.
Divine is off the blue robe guys in Ashina Antechamber, Pellets are just about everything.
Samurai dude in blue robes drops divine confetti. Head to Upper Tower - Antechamber and stealth the bastard.
@@jessie8521 You can get 1 divine confetti every 2 runs consistently when killing the blue robed enemies if you have rung the Demon Bell at the Bell Demon's Temple. More will drop if you're also using a Mibu Possession Balloon in conjunction. This is how I farmed them for specific bosses.
@@jessie8521 Adam and sleepin' are right, try Ashina castle, the blue robed samurai. They drop pellets as well as confetti.
@@globalsaturation7333 Good to know, thanks.
For late game or even ng+
*get the mask pieces*
When you have the full mask, it allows you to put your skill points into attack power :D
My favorite spot (even though it's not nearly as efficient as these) is the single Shinobi in the antechamber just below owl. Once you've beaten that mini boss, you can just stealth kill him over and over again. Takes like half a minute, nets you 500 xp and 50 gold, and requires zero thought, which of course means you can watch cowboys videos while farming.
kuro’s room below owl arena.
Just jump out the window and there's 3 of those ninja you can backstab. Way more efficient
For late game I recommend Ashina Castle UpperTower - Antechamber.
The purple warrior right next to the idol up the stairs gives you 1,052 exp, but the catch is you can backstab him easily. I was able to get 8,416 exp in 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Great for watching videos on your phone as you’re farming.
Middle of the game, go to the hidden village idol, turn around. And there will be two spirit feather guys. Backstab one and kill the other quickly, takes about 10 seconds and they each give 620, rinse and repeat. You don’t even need to homeward idol out, super close to idol so just go rest🤙🏻
Hidden village? Where’s that? Do you mean Mibu Village?
@@BobBobOnRUclips hidden forest
@@kaixer9312 You a fuckin mind reader now?
Nope nothing there I have no mist so maybe that's why
go to upper tower antechamber and execute the assassin at the top of the stairs he gives 1060 and it takes literally 5 seconds so essentially in 60s you get 12720 in 60 seconds
For late game, I like to spawn at Ashina Castle Antechamber. Sneak up behind purple shinobi who is MAYBE ten feet away from the idol. Rinse and repeat. He gives 1000 exp each time. In short, walk ten feet, stealth kill, walk ten feet back, rest.
Edit: Mispelled Ashina
Where did you find a purple shinobi in the area ?
wrong. it's the dojo, not the antechamber. and he doesnt give 1k, he drops 392.
The Drakeblood Knight Wrong.
Vincent Nyrva It's VERY late game. If you're at the final boss, ashina is in flames. Depending on which ending you are going for. It should be night time. Spawn at Upper Tower - Antechamber. The purple shinobe is there and drops 1052 exp.
The Drakeblood Knight Look up Biohazard4Live's video if you want to see it.
Going up to ashina castle antichamber (or the other sculpture on the other side) and stealth killing the purple kicking dudes gets you 2k xp each with the demon bell (idk how much without). Its a really quick way of getting xp at endgame.
Post game, ashina outskirts, stairway idol. 5 quick, easy deathblows on the ministry samurai in a circuit from the sculpture.
Start with the gun tower, drop bushes for a deathblow. Another just through the gate, catch the remaining two as they walk up the stairs.
thanks it's also a perfect way to farm mercury fulminate.
i actually did the whole way through until the bridge. popped a yellow balloon and ran back as well. Got to do a re-run while it was still active and ended up with 70K sen after a bunch of easy runs
I would love to see a video on this. Describing these many actions is hard to copy without seeing it being done.
@@luansomething380 I made a vid of my run just now and its on my channel. Watch it if you want
I got one that's about 4000xp per min mid game
When ashina castle is locked, go back to the ante chamber, jump out the window, there's three lone ninja you can backstab if you use smoke screen deathblow.
Just run straight towards the closest one, back stab then smoke screen. Then go around the second ninja and backstab him ONLY right before the screen smoke completely dissipate (if not the third one will not jump down), then smoke screen again and go around the third one and backstab. Rinse and repeat
I've been killing the one shot enemies that can take away health bar (Like DS3 dungeon crazy ladies). There are two next to the sculptor's idol where the giant fish breaks the bridge. I gain like 400 xp and 200 some gold in 10 seconds. It's the idol between Sakura and Corrupted monk. You can also use Mibo balloon and get around 19 kills in for extra 450% gold. This is best for xp though, i'd have to do mine 7 times to equal yours, but mine is quicker lol.
One thing I don't see mentioned often is the Hidden Forest spot. If you port to the idol, turn around and grapple across the gap, there's a Nightjar ninja immediately as you land with his back turned to you that you can stealth kill for ~660xp. There's another one that spots you when you do this but you can just grapple back and rest at the bonfire if you don't wanna deal with him. If you run at him and hit him with a Sparking Axe + Followup you can instakill him for another 660xp, rinse and repeat. About 1300xp every 30 seconds.
Another one I have used is from the Sunken Valley . Gun Fort Idol. Backtrack to a cannon guy. Backstab. 300 xp 50 gold.
the best one imo
There's three cannon guys within about 15 steps of each other there.
Run from the idol backstab the one the the tunnel, run out, get the one next to the fire. Jump up onto platform next to you, murder normal gun guy. Ariel takedown old lady coming up the hall and run out there, directly right of where you exit is another cannon guy.
So about 1030 xp in about 30 seconds if you're quick enough
@@gamenatior very nice
An even better lategame farming area if you have the castle overrun triggered, is just the steps leading the the castle. Each red ninja(samurai?) gets you like 650 xp, and takes roughly a minute and a half once youre good at it, and its like 2600 total, so like 2k a minute? Ive been using it to get ready for the emma fight
I have a spot that that can probably earn 5k to 6k xp per minute at Ashina outskirts after the final interior ministry attack. It’s the idol right by the first bound ogre, and you just need to kill the 3 gunmen, the swordsman, and the cannon guy for about 4K xp, then rest and repeat.
The Outskirts Wall - Stairway Idol?
i used that too
4k? Where is this spot exactly?
Before the final boss you can go to ashina dojo idol and in the room in front of the bonfire theres a purple guy that you can stealth kill for about 360 ish xp and another guy downstairs in the room where the two guards and woman used to be before what happens to ashina happens that you can also stealth kill for about 1050 xp so you get about a little over 1400 xp in about 8 to 10 seconds and this includes the time it takes to get back to the idol. This is a great way to farm pellets and prosthetic upgrade material. Before what happens to ashina the blue dudes are still there you can farm them for pellets as well as divine confetti. Im full on pellets and confetti because of those runs. Very good farming spot
Check out new spot I just found:
Late game, when Ashina is on fire, before killing Night Owl
Start at Antechamber idol
Kill blue robe dude then go to next room and kill purple dude.
Run through next room up to dojo and kill another purple dude.
Run back down and jump through hole - grapple onto timber beam and then jump down and land on door.
Wait for red hats to walk forward, assassinate first one then run down and follow next one to kill
Run away and use homeward idol, rinse and repeat
XP: 2529
Time: 1min 20secs ish
My best mid game spot is gun fort. Start from the cave. Stealth death low the big cannon guy, grapple up quick kill little guy, jump left and go up the branch to the top guy stealth kill, jump down one stealth kill, walk a little bit then jump down and stealth kill again. Run up to the original entrance to the gun fort to back stack. Then back track up to the outside entrance of the wooden wall barricade and jump assassinate the last big gun guy you started initially. Takes under a minute and nets a shit ton of money.
I go here before genichiro to get double ichimonji and some other stuff. If I have a lot of time I’ll knock out mortal blade requirements completely.
Late comment but a simple tip: always use demon bell when grinding for extra resources
Does the demon bell gives more xp?
As far as I know and tested, it unfortunately doesnt...
It only gave you better item drops
Awesome video however I feel as though the Ashina Outskirts Stairway farming in late game is better.
4 soldiers give 660 sp each
1 flamesamurai give 1364 sp
Giving a total of 4k sp every 30 seconds if you can get it down. Plus the Sen and items you get is amazing.
The two phantom tengu right after the headless guardian ape and mate fight gives you easy 1240 exp
That was my spot for the longest
@@Sh0qzilla it's just so good and quick to do.
Kenner Aguilan yeah but they’re hella annoying to fight, especially when you’re trying to fight on and the other keeps throwing ninja stars at you
@@AOTheKidd stealth kill the first ghost, attack the second, break his posture pretty easy and you'd get your health back with a deathblow if you have that passive ability, so nothing to worry about really oh and parry his moves if you're skilled at parrying.
An easy way to get the mid game farm XP even before the genichiro fight, after getting sabimaru, if you're brave enough, go to the ashina depths via bottomless hole, do not go to sunken valley or senpou, getting there relys on having not killed the guardian ape, kill snake eyes, and the headless ape arena will be empty for now, (if you didn't fight the ape previously) grapple up and go through the forest skip passed everything for Now unless you have level up some, kill mist noble with sabimaru + slashes (don't let up) after the mist is dispelled proceed through to the mibu village idol, and start farming the shinobi, make sure to have the essential stealth skills.
Happy hunting!
outskirts wall - stairway is better xp. stealth killing the 5 guys starting from the funner on the top you can grapple to from statue. if one gets triggered, double ichimongi for instant deathblow. rinse, repeat. thank me later xd
Yeah, that one's the best by far the best and it doesn't require to waste a whole bunch of spirit emblems.
Which you eventually end up capping at 999, but still
You can get much more xp and a hell of a lot of sen if you farm the Mibu Manor in Fountainhead Palace although it is late game. Be careful not to become enfeebled as this will most likely mean death. Acquire both virtuous deed perks in the temple arts skill tree and make sure to use Mibu Balloons of Wealth for the additional sen
liar
early game 0:22
late game 1:48
end game 2:55
Best and easiest endgame farm: last idol in Hirata estate revisited before you fight Owl. Turn around and backstab the patroling spear guard right by the idol... 880xp, 132 sen, and guaranteed scrap iron and either light purse/gokan sugar. Repeat. Takes absolutely no time at all.
Make sure to ring the bell before farming
Does the bell wear off? Because I wouldn't want it on permanently for my first run
@@chrisj403 you can disable the bell effect at any time using a bell demon item in your inventory (you get it once you ring the bell, you can do it multiple times)
@@DMSBrian24
Awesome! And by multiple times does that mean only like three times?
@@chrisj403 nah, as many times as you want, at one point i even forgot to disable it and beat like 2 bosses this way only to realise it was on XD it doesn't make it that much harder apart from the bosses tbh
But bell doesn't raise exp gain.
This video has proven abundantly useful to me I can’t think you enough for it, I used all three, I found for the second one using gachins allows you to run up to him which at least to me seems to over time speed up the so acquisition quite a bit
In Mibu village Killing the purple guy and running to kill the villagers is usually what I do
Mibu Village/ Ashina Depts----- Use Gavhiins candy and you can run up behind guy for quick kill at 798 points. Or go ahead and kill the headless that's on the way to this farm spot and you will get Gachiins SPIRITFALL. Which you can use with spirit emblems... so it's endless and you can easily crank out 16 points here if you wait to do any farming in game.
the first ninja in ashina castle for 1052, i can kill him every 12 seconds
Make a vid plz!
@@Norobot33 ashina ante chamber after the invasion and then sneak kill
can u tell me the exact location?
Park Soo Yeong the exact location Ashina castle antechamber after the invasion, you cannot miss it.
Spoilers for three boss names from mid/late game
What he's refering to is a puprle ninja that replaces a blue samurai right next to the idol for the Ashina Castle Antechamber. Guardian Ape and Corrupt Monk (ghost) should be dead for the ninja to show up, if not then go kill Divine Dragon.
a better mid game farm is gun fort idol in sunken valley. with divine abduction tool, it takes about 1:30 to get 1800 xp, without it, 2 min. first backtrack and kill the first shotgun enemy in the big room. With the DA, kill the second, without, skip him for now. grapple up to the palisade and kill the rifleman, then jump off and to the left. grapple the slingshot, then the tree branch, and kill the riflemen on the 3 platforms. from the middle platform, look over the edge and you can see 1 of 2 riflemen on the ledge below, jump and kill him, turn around, kill the 2nd on the ledge below you. climb back up to where you killed the 4th rifleman (lowest of the 3 platforms) and run up to the cave, hugging the left wall. kill the final shotgun enemy, then either kill the crier outright or from around the corner. If you didn't kill the 2nd shotgun in the big room earlier, now's your chance. repeat.
Mid game. Hidden forest statue. Turn around and backstab the first ghost crow guy and take down the other. 1,240 exp in 30 sec 👌🏻
Then continue down killing each enemy until you reach the ninja guy in the river. Gives me about 4,000 exp every minute and a half
Nice spot thanks !!!
In the sanctuary at the idle save thing number 4, before the bridge, you can farm 4000 exp every 35-40 sec 1 monkey warriror on stealth and 2 bloodborne monsters, sorry for my terminology, I am from another country.
wait you just did early late then end. where the hell is mid?
jdogzero silverblade did you watch the video? The mid is the one in mini village
Cody Broadfoot yeah, but he says “late” instead of mid for Mibu village. I think that’s what the post meant
Just wanted to share some tips for those farming the okami warriors. Following the route that's shown, when you jump down to fight the first okami warrior you can actually just r1 spam her for the deathblow if you need to save emblems. Then, on the same platform where you fought the first okami, you can throw a shuriken at the leftmost one to lure her to the platform and seperate her from the other warrior. She will go up the stairs and then jump down where you can sort of steer her behind the stairs with the sabimaru spam. Lastly, when fighting the third okami you can usually stand in the pool of water below as she will reliably jump down in front of you. She will be open for a moment where you can then start sabimaru spam. Sometimes, she will start jumping away from you, if this happens hit her with a shuriken to stop her, and deal posture damage. Hope this helps anybody farming the okami warriors. Good luck grinding Y'all.
I know I'm late to the party, but I grind at the hidden forest idol. If you go back towards the area where you fought the two apes, two ghost nightjar guys appear (at least in my game). You can stealth kill the first as soon as it appears. The other one will attack and I just spam whirlwind slash til he dies. Takes 15-30 seconds, depending on how you deal with that last nightjar. They give 620 xp each. 1240 xp for 20ish seconds is pretty good. Then just go back to the idol, rest, and repeat.
For the kate game one you can just bait the 2 together by jumping if the kedge neer the tree trunk you can graple too and they just fall down the moment you jump down and graple back unless they are in animation kf attacking or their death blow
The best xp farm after Divine Dragon is at the antechamber. About 1050 per run in about 8 seconds. Just kill the purple guy behind the wall immediately after the stairs. After the first run, destroy the thin wall and anything on the floor the could alert him on the next run. They will not get repaired after you rest.
I don't know how many of you found the place where I farm my xp but I farm at Ashina depth poison pool. Kill the rpg guy or whatever that's on top on of the hill above the sculptors idol and commune with it. Really because each time you get to kill the guy with stealth and you can't miss on that.
For mid-game I find the gun fort to be a good grind spot, just go to the save point inside the caves and work your way outside stealthing all the enemies. The bigger gun dudes give 300 exp each. With bell demon you get tons of mats.
Mibu guy is 784 without bell
There's 3 dudes that give 300 exp each(900) right next to the gun fort idol, and all the smaller dudes give you around 150 I think. So I don't know which is faster. The entire gun fort route gets you about 2K exp per run.
How do you reset the demon bell?
@@wanteddeadoralive8798 use it from inventory
Hey, POI for the last farm, it is only a few seconds slower to farm the purple lad at the end of the broken bridge by Feeding Grounds, but it is a free deathblow and doesn't cost any spirit emblems. Same type drops too.
If you are late game literaly every run thrughout ashina castle or fountainhead is a good farming spot...at the very end game you can even make an entire run on that area Hatred Demon destroyed, you can get like ~40k a run
Hey fightin cowboy I wanted your viewers to know that the purple ninja you are farming for mid game is a great spot. It may not seem like a lot if you're doing it for xp because you have to spend a lot of time doing this to level up your skill points. At least where I'm at in the game. However, what makes this spot ideal for farming is the fact that you get 2 spirit emblems and 84 sen each time. Now I'm trying to defeat the guardian ape, and I used every last one of my spirit emblems. It sucks. But in doing this for 5 minutes (including spending the 84 sen on spirit emblems each time) I have achieved 1 skill point and 131 spirit emblems. I didn't think this farm worked at first because he kept seeing me but once I figured out if you're in that little cut in the wall right before you get to him you are basically invisible to him. I wanted to thank you fightin cowdude for showin me this. I'm just an old country girl too. 👍
I just wanted to say 2 things:
1st. Thank you so much for this update guide.
2nd. At the fountainhead palace sanctuary. The sword guy can actually be baited off the ledge about 90 percent of the time resulting in an instant kill and shaving 10 seconds off the total run tim.
BRO!! AWESOME FARM!! THANK YOU! mibu village was a great stomping ground, but that scumbag always saw me, thanks for the tip on how to get there, almost 800 per kill!! Thanks and thanks for all your videos on EVERYTHING ELSE!!!
Thx bro just started sekiro about a week ago and this is a huge help!
I was farming Harada Estate path all the way from idol to idol, but it was taking forever. i'm really early game right now and trying to power up before i attempt Genichiro, so the early game farm is gonna be key. thanks, keep it up
So, I think a better spot for late game farming that is also easier and doesn’t require a specific tool, is Mibu Manor, going around kill the flute players.
Each one gives 530 Skill per kill, and you can kill a total of 9 you can kill in the immediate area. And in the late game you have enough attack power to one shot them. I’ve been getting about 4,770 Skill per run at least.
Edit: It’s also great for Sen farming. At least 1,200 Sen per run as well using Gold Balloon.
XP there is good but honestly enfeeblement is too risky for my tastes. If you somehow make a mistake it's an instant GG
2:26 before you rest, jump and chug a shiruken at the dog too. another 84 xp :-)
Real quick, the best farm I’ve found is the area with all the blue garbed palace nobles in the fountain head palace. It’s the place that is right before the bridge that the carp eats. Good place for farming upgrade materials as well, since Lumps are some of the hardest to come upon (at least for me). Just be sure to use a Gachiin.
I’ve been backstabbing the black robed monk before OF at Hirata. The 3 Okami are two risky and can take minutes depending on rng. If the two Okami get aggroed at once and start lightning spamming, there’s often nothing you can do but die. Backstabbing single enemy takes like 10-15 seconds. Found it much more efficient and safer. Comments mention purple guy in Ashina antechamber, sounds maybe even better. Love fightincowboy’s guides tho, the best.
Best late game XP farm is hirata audience chamber (statue before the owl father boss fight). You get 880/run and can do 4 runs in a minute. Just death blow the one dude walking the hallway behind the curtain
One place I like is the road with the monks in Senpou Temple, you gotta have the Puppeteer ninjutsu and sneak in and stealthily convert a few monks to your cause, when they all die all the way to the upper temple with two guards, you get a lot of XP there
