Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a real challenge. As a FromSoftware game, that’s to be expected. But really, you’re probably going to need all the help you can get. Unlike the Souls games, you can’t invite other players to help you, so you’ll have to progress on your own. Vendors you come across during your adventure can help you, provided you have some hay (money) on hand. There are a handful of items you can buy that you should definitely grab before others.
These are the best items to buy from sellers Axe: Shadows Die Twice.

Like Dark Souls, An axe has the ever important Pumpkin. When Wolf drinks from a healing item, some of his health is restored. You get the pumpkin after the introductory part. At first you can only have one drink before it’s all gone. Recharging requires going to the Sculptor’s Idol to get some sleep.
You can propagate your squash with squash seeds. Pumpkin seeds can be obtained by defeating powerful enemies, and we have also found them in chests. Sometimes vendors will have pumpkin seeds for sale for a whopping 1000 sen.
Trust us when we say that the high price is worth it. Once you get the gourd seed, you can take it to Emma outside the Ruined Temple (or wherever she is marked after she moves). She will expand your gourd so you can drink an extra drink. It goes without saying that having more opportunities to heal and survive during boss vs. boss fights is vital.
So, whenever the seller wants to part with this precious item, spend some time collecting hay.
Rice/fine snow

Sometimes using a healing gourd isn’t the most effective strategy since you have to stop and sit during the drinking animation. When you are being beaten by a strong enemy, it is not advisable to stop to heal. An excellent alternative is rice, which serves as a quick item that restores health over time. It’s similar to Pellets in that respect, but rice restores a lot more health. The recommended strategy is to consume rice before fighting a strong enemy or in the middle of battle if possible.
The benefit is that it will gradually heal you over time, making some of those difficult enemy encounters a little easier. You can only carry one at a time, but even so, Rice is a great plan B when things get hairy.
You can get it from the Divine Child of Rejuvenation at Senpou Temple on Mount Kongo. Keep visiting Divine Child for more when you run out. Additionally, after completing the Divine Child’s Dragon’s Homecoming quest, you can request that your rice be turned into Fine Snow — an upgraded version that increases your health even faster.
Banknotes

Coin purses come in three varieties: light, heavy, and convex. Light coins contain 100 sen, heavy coins 500, and raised coins 1000. Each of them actually costs more than the amount of sen they hold. For example, you will pay 550 sen to buy a heavy coin purse. The investment pays off. Death cuts your sleep in half, and unless you’re ridiculously good, you’re going to die a lot. Your dream can continue to be cut in half until you have almost nothing left during the fight to defeat the boss.
Death does not affect your coins though. They are stored as an item and are only added to your hay when they are opened. For this reason, you don’t want to open them until you’re ready to buy them (like Gourd Seeds). A good rule of thumb to follow is that every time you come across a vendor, unless you’re buying something else, exchange your sen for as many notes as you can buy.
Upgrade materials

Vendors also sometimes carry upgrade materials for your Shinobi prosthetics. One of the first ones you can buy, Robert’s Firecrackers, is extremely useful in boss fights and when fighting animals like wolves. Robert’s Firecrackers turns into the Shinobi firecracker he once gave to the old man at Oronula Temple. It will upgrade your prosthetics to give you access to a move that produces an explosive flash. Enemies caught in its wake will be temporarily blinded, immobilized, and take damage from the hold. Whether you’re fighting wolf packs or battling a ruthless general, Shinobi Firecracker can help you get on the right track.
Spiritual emblems

To use prosthetic moves like the Shinobi firecracker and shuriken, you need to have spirit symbols. Spirit emblems aren’t actually bought from vendors, but they’re important enough to mention here anyway. They cost 10 sen and you can hold up to 15 at a time. Any excess spirit emblems you have will go to replenish 15 when you rest in the sculptural idol, where you buy them.
You always want to keep your Spirit Emblems full. Every prosthetic move uses spirit emblems. Throwing a shuriken costs one, while more intense moves like the Shinobi Firecracker cost three. Get in the habit of checking the current inventory of each Sculptor’s Idol and purchasing as needed.
A drop of dragon’s blood

Using Resurrection in battle gives you another chance to win, but it comes at a cost. Resurrect too many times and you can get an item called Rot Essence. This is not an item you want, as it lowers your Unseen Help percentage. Unseen Aid is a chance not to lose knowledge and experience after death. Rot Essence also afflicts NPCs with a disease called Dragon’s Rot. While you are sick, you cannot finish their stories. Rot Essence is found in Key Items. You will inevitably collect a few or more of these unfortunate things.
A little further into the game, you’ll be able to collect a blood sample from someone dealing with Dragonrot. This will help Emma create a cure, giving you a recovery spell and a drop of dragon’s blood. These items will allow you to heal everyone with Dragontrul in Sculptor’s Idols. A recovery spell will last forever, but a drop of dragon’s blood will not. You can buy this important item from the vendor for 180 sen.
Acquiring sen

If you want to find sen in bulk, you can search for coins hidden all over the world. However, for a consistent source of hay, you’ll need to get it from your enemies. Killing an enemy will (usually) result in a glowing corpse, and when you’re standing over them, you can hold Square/X to pick up their sen.
When you’re in the middle of a battle, you can be so focused on defeating your opponent that you forget how critical hay acquisition is. After all, this is necessary to win the game. While playing, you have to collect sen to stay in the game. You can increase your bid by stealing from your opponents. If you scratch the bottom of the barrel with your hay, you can reset your enemies and take away their hay multiple times.
We highly recommend you slow down and take a second to regroup at the Sculptor’s Idol. This will give you a chance to recreate your rivals. Everyone is guaranteed to use the same position they used in the last fight; it doesn’t really matter how many times you do it. Remember that every known enemy will respawn, but don’t wait for the generals. They are the stubborn ones who won’t.
Another way to earn some hay is to sell your assets to vendors during the game. You can trade various things, but we advise trading less valuable items such as Fistful of Ash.
We suggest trading unnecessary items such as Fistful of Ash for Sen. All you have to do is visit the seller of your choice, make an offer and receive payment.
