Sekiro's Map Layout Explained

Sekiro is still my favorite, I would take Sekiro 2 over Elden ring 2 every time

Thanks for explan,Somebody tell me the giant sneak have two heads? After play the game .I want ask how many sneak in Ashina? Today I knew it .Thanks again

hey dude not trying to be a dick or anything but I notice the English under
苇名城 says ashi meijou, I'm guessing this is because you looked up the Kanji and it said 名城 is meijou, which is true, but in this case 名 takes the 'na' sound because it's part of the name 'ashina'. this video is really great though thank you

Honestly the more I’ve played this game the more I’ve wondered if they originally meant for it to not have any fast travel like DS1 but it got scrapped due to time constraints or out of fear that people wouldn’t like it

The shinobi shortcuts and the way that certain idols get cut off at points in the story in particular feel like remnants of a time in development when that might have been the case. Could have been a really cool way of making you feel the distance of your journey

This is my favorite sekiro video. You are so passionate about this game, and hearing your findings and all of your knowledge makes this video fire. Thank you

Thank you for your hard work, tomodachi.

THERE'S A DOOR FROM KURO'S TO THE TEMPLE??????? I have 200 hours in this game, jesus christ

A detailed and good video, but holy shit I've never heard anyone pronounce Gyoubu Oniwa that way

i've completed the game around 17 times or so, and i still don't really understand the map layout. thank you !

葦名城 is actually read as Ashina jō not ashi meijō

:)

i enjoy your video subbed 👍

I never realized the poison pool wasn't actually a cavern - Absolutely blew my mind, but it makes so much sense! Absolutely love people who are into world layouts, it's such an underrated part of video games that I adore!

how deep is abyssal wood?

*Uses giant serpent model for length unit

People will use anything but the metric system.

When you broke out the snake ruler I lost it.

great video, thx.

Great vis

This video is badass. Great work my dude.

Cannot believe this is your first video, boy.

Subscribed for snake ruler

I wonder if Darksiders 3 was made in Similiar Fashion. I am currently playing it blind and i allways backtrack and explore any previous Area after i optain a new ability and most of it is also Shortcuts between the Areas.
There is no Mapscreen in the Game, but i swear it feels like the Maps should all line up nicely like Ashina.

Is that an instrumental MGS soundtrack playing?

I appreciate Sekiro for bringing back the classic action adventure experience like how it was back then with games like Legacy of Kain.

What?? The Ape is healing his wounds in the healing waters?? Thats such a cool detail

Manji Cult theme is so esoteric and cool.

This is awesome
I never thought about how exactly the map looked.

This video is so incredibly well put together for your first! I too have been itching to see this map broken down and you managed to hit all my burning questions and then some.

I even like how you brought up the day / evening / night cycle, as I have done playthroughs of Sekiro where I do each area in different orders to see what places look like at different times of day! Did you know that if you beat Genichiro and then go back to the first chasm where you hide from the giant snake, the lighting of the evening sky makes it so that the beginning of the game is noticeably visible near the palanquin as the sun creeps through the giant rocks nearby! Souls games have always had such great spatial worldbuilding and Sekiro doesn't disappoint.

Seriously though, great video! I like the Zullie the witch shoutout, I like that you mention airswimming, and honestly the only thing I wished you would have shown was the view of where Mibu village would be from Fountainhead palace using the map editor. I'll definitely be subscribing though!

Brilliant video!

Tenchu music kicking in chefs kiss

Sekiro is the game that, by far, required multiple attempts to beat bosses on my part. It is said that one's first "soulslike" (i mislike the term but it is typically well understood) is one's hardest.
Mine own first was DS3 and i did struggle with it because I had never experienced a game that did so little hand holding.
Once I got to Farron Keep, I had a firm grasp on my options and i adjusted to DS1, BB and DS2 pretty well. With Sekiro it was like an anime training montage, full of grinding failure until I became a warrior

Can you do this for bloodborne? I’d love to see that

thank you for the video, its cool

Having watched both this, and your Elden Ring architecture video, I wanted to say, you’re doing terrific! The fact that you are both thorough, and focused (rather than injecting memes constantly) is very impressive. Keep it up!

Sekiro has the best realized map and worldbuilding of all the Fromsoft games, If it wasn't for its hyperspecific combat mechanics and endless boss fights It could be easily considered one of the, if not THE best videogame ever. A testament of how good it is is that I brute forced myself trough all the bosses by sheer patience and repetition, only to see what lies ahead

Coming back to this cuz sekiro is still as magical as ever. I had never noticed the fountainhead spiral in game before this, very grateful.

I remember when I first played Sekiro, I went on a hunt to find the inspiration for the sunken valley and MIbu village. Takachiho Gorge seems very sunken Valley to me

Fantastic video

awesome

I was going to watch a video about statistics and I saw this. this is why I'm here. My adhd

Tenchu music. Perfection

This is very professionally done. Certainly doesn't look like a first attempt.

HIS NAAAAAMMMEEE! IS GYOUBU MASATAKA ONIWA!!!!! NOT JYOBU!!!! (sekiro dub joke)

I just wanted to say thank you, thanks a lot. I have completed this game more times than I can count, and this was an absolute treat.

If you see this, please have a nice day :D

Thanks man

Have only so far found time to play (Other than a toe-dip length attempt of Dark Souls 1), and complete this single modern FromSoftware game. I love Sekiro and am super pleased to be granted a deeper, cooler understanding of the game. Thank you!

Fantastic video
