In From Software’s new gameSekiro: Shadows Die Twice, players will be challenged at every turn and will need to use every tool possible to defeat enemies big and small. But few tools can beat a little damage upgrade, which allSekiroplayers will likely be looking for to increase their attack power.
How to Get a Memory for Attack Power Upgrade
Like with past From Software games,Sekirodoesn’t make it obvious how to upgrade one’s attack power from the start, but what players will need is a memory. Unfortunately, these memory items only come from defeating a boss, so those holding out hope they can increase their damage to help beat a boss are out of luck. Still, it’s possible to try new areas and find a boss that might be a little easier for you in order to get a memory inSekiro, upgrade your attack power, and then take on a more challenging foe.
Upon beating a boss inSekiro: Shadows Die Twice, players will get an item screen that explains they have obtained the memory of that foe. In the description, it will also explicitly state that the item increases their attack power.
With the memory in-hand, head to anysculptor’s idol for savingand select the Enhance Physical Attributes tab from the menu. Choosing to “Confront Memory” may sound like players will need to fight the boss again but all this will do is increase their attack power and upgrade their damage output. Now, on the player stat screen, you should see a higher number next to attack power.
Sekiro Boss Fights are the Key
Keep in mind that not every challenging enemy inSekiro: Shadows Die Twiceis a boss. There are a lot of mini-bosses in the game, like theChained Ogre players faceearly on, who pose a challenge but will not reward a memory for an attack power upgrade. Thankfully, these mini-bosses are still valuable, as most of them will drop a prayer bead for upgrading vitality (health) or a gourd seed for adding another “drink” from the healing gourd.
Even with more attack power and damage,Sekiroplayers will still need to learn the mechanics of the game, which are very different from past From Software games likeDark SoulsandBloodborne. In fact, a lot aboutSekirois a departure for the developer, with some even saying this is the hardest From Software game yet. Even so, players canmakeSekiroharder with the Bell Demon.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twiceis available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
