The phantom apparition of a corrupted priestess who guards the path to the Fountainhead Palace. She wields a massive naginata with deceptive reach and flowing, relentless attack patterns.

Sword Saint Isshin Ashina
Isshin Ashina in his prime, resurrected through the power of the Mortal Blade from Genichiro's body. The true final boss of Sekiro, he fights with a sword, spear, gun, and lightning across four brutal phases.
Blazing Bull
A massive bull set ablaze by the Ashina forces and released as a weapon of war. It charges wildly, leaving trails of fire and goring anything in its path with burning horns.

An Interior Ministry assassin trained in the Lone Shadow arts. Fights with a combination of swordplay and deadly martial arts kicks in the confined well beneath Ashina Reservoir.
Long-arm Centipede Giraffe
A grotesque creature infested by a centipede parasite at Senpou Temple. It attacks with unnaturally long arms in rapid, rhythmic claw combos that demand precise deflection timing.
Snake Eyes Shirafuji
An elite gunner of the Sunken Valley clan who guards the passage with deadly accuracy. She wields a large-caliber rifle and fights with a mix of gunfire, grabs, and close-range strikes.
Headless (Underwater)
A cursed, headless apparition that dwells in the depths of the Fountainhead Palace waters. It emanates a Terror aura that slows movement and can instantly kill with its ghostly grab attacks.
Chained Ogre
A massive red-eyed ogre chained to the stairway in Ashina Outskirts. It breaks free upon detecting Wolf and attacks with terrifying grabs and body slams. Fire is its greatest weakness.
Juzou the Drunkard
A massive drunkard samurai who serves as a mini-boss at Hirata Estate. He swings a huge sword, sprays poisonous sake, and is surrounded by loyal soldiers that must be dealt with first.
True Corrupted Monk
The true physical form of the Corrupted Monk who guards the bridge to the Fountainhead Palace. Unlike her illusion, she has three deathblows and reveals her centipede-infested form in the final phase.
Divine Dragon
The Divine Dragon of the Everblossom, an ancient deity residing at the Fountainhead Palace. A breathtaking spectacle boss fought across a vast arena of clouds and lightning-struck trees.
Demon of Hatred
The Sculptor consumed by the flames of hatred, transformed into a towering demon of fire. An optional endgame boss that plays unlike any other encounter in Sekiro, demanding dodge-based combat rather than deflection.
