Bloodborne reference

Easter Eggs

At one point, the Owl will say to you “I’m afraid I made a bit of a blunder.” This is a nod to Bloodborne, as Eileen the Crow in Bloodborne will say the same (or very similar) line when friendly.

Tenchu Reference

Easter Eggs

It is possible that the tagline and subtitle “Shadows Die Twice” is a reference to the Tenchu series. Characters in the Tenchu series have been referred to as shadows, and the main villain of the last game in the series, Tenchu: Shadow Assassins, had to be killed twice. This led many people to speculate that the game being teased was a new Tenchu game when it was first revealed. In fact, they considered making Sekiro a game in the Tenchu series early in development when they were working out ideas, but they ultimately decided it would be better as a new IP.

Breaking Bad reference

Easter Eggs

The description for the Fulminated Mercury upgrade says, “Created in secret by the Interior Ministry using knowledge from across southern seas. The central forces’ military might owes much to this tiny tweak of chemistry.” The final phrase used in this description is a reference to the show Breaking Bad, where Walt describes fulminated mercury as “a little tweak of chemistry.”

Beat Genichiro in the first battle - alternate scene

Easter Eggs

You can beat Genichiro in the first battle for a different scene and new dialogue. However, events still play out the same way. A shuriken distracts you, giving Genichiro a momentary advantage again and allowing him to cut off your arm.

Great Serpent swallowing/traveling

Easter Eggs

At the part where you can kill the Great Serpent, if you miss the QTE for the second deathblow, the serpent will swallow you and transport you to the cave near where the Guardian Ape is.
