In this Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Headless Boss Guide, we will detail all of the headless bosses that are in the game, where you can find them, and how you can defeat them.
Headless are one of the notorious mini bosses that live either underwater, or in caves. Defeating them without some preparation will almost certainly guarantee you being killed instantly.
The first thing you need to do before you get involved in fighting the Headless, you need to consume two items; Divine Confetti and Pacifying Agent. These items ensure you stay invulnerable to the Headless’ Terror Attacks. These attacks may otherwise increase your terror gauge and inflict more damage on you.
During the battle, its best to keep a look out on your Terror gauge, and consume more Divine Confetti and Pacifying Agent to keep your attacks consistent.
Another thing you need is the Diving Skill, that you automatically learn after defeating the Corrupted Monk. This skill is absolutely necessary if you want to reach the Headless bosses that are underwater.
For all the other bosses in the game, read the following guides:
Sekiro Shadows Die Twice Headless Boss Guide
All the Headless Bosses that are in Sekiro Shadows Die Twice are listed below. In addition, we have also mentioned where to find, how to defeat, and what rewards you will get after defeating them.
Headless in Ashina Outskirts
This boss is located at the Ashina Outskirts – Outskirts Wall Stairway. From the place where you last fought General Tenzen, you need to go to the right and jump on the tree branch that is near the cliffside. Now jump down towards the cliff where you can hang on to. From there you can jump in a dark cave where this boss is located.
Before you can begin this boss fight, you have to consume the Divine Confetti and Pacifying Agent to protect yourself from its Terror Attacks. Since this is the end game boss, and your strength would be too powerful at this point, it is fairly easy to deal a ton of damage to this boss.
His mist will slow you down, this is where you should just attack with your normal sword slashes. When he attacks, you can block though it will still deal damage to you. And keep the consumption of Divine confetti and Pacifying Agent repeatedly once their effects are depleted.
A trick to deal damage is to lure him towards the little cliff at the top of the area, then stand below the cliff to attack normally with your sword. He will not be able to hit you nor drop down back.
Once the boss is defeated, you will be rewarded with Ako’s Spiritfall.
Underwater Headless in Ashina Castle
This boss can be found at the Ashina Castle – Old Grave, where it will be situated underwater in the pond where the Old Grave idol is. to get underwater, you will require the diving skill that you get by defeating the Corrupted Monk boss in Ashina Depths.
Since this is a Headless boss, and that it focuses on terror Attack, its best to consume Divine Confetti and Pacifying Agent beforehand. With the effect of these consumables, all you have to do is hit the enemy with the sword.

Not locking onto the headless, means that it is more likely going to miss his attacks when it strikes and when you move to the left. When it does attack though, you take unblockable damage, which is still less than undefended.
Occasionally when you Terror Gauge fills up, back up and consume the Divine Confetti and Pacifying Agent. Continue with your attack until the posture of the Headless is broken. Then follow up with the execution.
