Scrap Iron

scrap iron upgrade material sekiro wiki guide

 Iron dregs mined in Ashina.

Widely used for basic reinforcement, it can serve as a base material for Prosthetic Tool upgrades.

Ashina is burdened with thick snow and infertile land, but the scrap iron dug from her soil is anything but crude.

Scrap Iron is a special Upgrade Material in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Scrap Iron is required for upgrading Prosthetic Tools, and the player will need to defeat specific Enemies in order to find it.

      Senpou main hall:

      1) Rest at the idol.
      2) Sprint to the back entrance and turn the corner around the building, backstab the patrolling Spear Adept.
      3) Jump over the fence of the near balcony, grapple to the middle balcony where the two Adepts are back to back.
      4) Sprint over to them. The left one will detect you, but you will have time to backstab the right one and Bloodsmoke to backstab the last one.
      5) Repeat.

      After a few runs this should take you around 40 seconds. Without Demon Bell this results in 558 xp (3x186), 156 Sen (3x52) and 3x guaranteed Scrap Iron and Gokan's Sugar, with a small chance of getting double.

      Requires Suppress Presence and Sound. You can probably do it without if you use sugars and stealth.
      If you don't have or want to use Bloodsmoke, you can just ignore the third Adept and run to rest for two per run instead of three.

        So this upgrade material is needed the most in the game - I counted 91 Iron Scraps need for 17 ****ing tools (the Golden Vortex and the Piercing Sabimaru need 8 a piece and they only share the Bronze Medal in the Iron Consumption Olypmics). Considering this is 3 times the Black Gunpowder needed I think the Merchants might be scamming us.

          I kinda get the impression that the Merchants are scamming us with this upgrade material as it costs the same amount as the Black Gunpowder while you needing 3 times as many Iron Scraps.

          I won't list all of them but I counted about 17 prostetic upgrades that need some Iron in thier diets and a total of 91 scraps to upgade all of them - most Shurikens, all Spears except the Leaping Flame, all the "Spring-load" tools, the Sparking Axe, the Magnet and Lilac Umbrellas as well as the Double Divine Abduction and Golden Vortex.

          The biggest Iron-eaters among them being the Piercing Sabimaru and Golden Vortex needing 8 each, then the Spiral Spear needing 10 and the Lazulite Sabimaru needing ****ing 12.

            Best place in the game for farming late game is Ashina Tower - Antechamber. Purple robed enemy right up the stairs of the idol drops two per death.

              The two scary dudes outside Senpou Main Hall. Without bell, you get Scrap Iron and rarely Scrap Magnetite. With Bell, Scrap Magnetite and rarely Adamentite. Results will vary depending on how far you are.

              There are multiple strats here:

              Noob strat: sprint in a straight line to the point between the two. Backstab the right one, collect items while going back to Idol.

              Normal strat: Blood smoke Ninjutsu. If you have, use Ceremonial tanto to save on emblems first. Then do the same as above, but activate Ninjutsu and backstab the second one.

              Peace strat: Golden vortex. Use tanto if you have. Ready the vortex at the door, sprint and release. Backstab one if possible, collect items and retreat.

              Chad strat: combine Golden vortex and bloodsmoke ninjutsu. Sometimes it can fail to get a backstab but you still get the items from vortex.

                From old grave idol, you can reliably stealth deathblow the bald glaive guy behind you, if you just run up to him from the side. With demon bell active, he almost always drops Scrap Iron and a Gokan's Sugar. One run takes ~20 seconds, including resting.

                  Easy way to farm would be to start from the idol after the drunkard and go to where he was. The enemies have a high drop rate and you get around 1-2 per run+some black gun powder

                    I don't know if this was pure luck but I started dropping a lot more of the stuff after beating the boss of Ashina Castle.

                          Drop rate increases dramatically after you defeat the boss at the top of the castle from most regular enemies.

                            Scrap Iron can be bought from the first "Crow's Bed Memorial Mob" merchant, the guy that sits in a tent on top of a cliff; right outside where you encounter the Chained Ogre boss.

                              I found another one. After killing Gyouba, you'll get a spirit idol labeled "Ashina Castle - Gate". If you hug the left wall, you'll eventually reach a hut, near two large hammer wielding enemies. Behind the hut is where you'll find the scrap iron.

                                Yeah, really need to find out where. I'm up to two bosses I just can't defeat without either grinding for skill points for hours, or, upgrading the prosthetic.
