Gauntlets of Strength for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a new feature that was added to the Sekiro Free Update on October 29, 2020. Gauntlets of Strength are single-life challenges where players are thrown into a series of battles against various enemies. This is a challenge where players must start a gauntlet and complete it in order to obtain unique rewards such as the new outfits and many more. It may look and sound like any other common gauntlets, but in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, partaking in a gauntlet has a catch, if by any chance you die without any Resurrective Power at any point in the gauntlet, you will need to start over from the beginning. Gauntlets are NOT affected by players attack power or NG-cycle but players vitality stays the same as in main game. This page covers information regarding this game mode.
How to access Gauntlets
Gauntlets of Strength are added to the Free Update, Patch 1.05. To access this, you must complete the main story line by defeating Isshin, The Sword Saint. Then interact with a Sculptor's Idol, and select "Gauntlets of Strength". This feature allows the player to select a gauntlet and to fight a series of extraordinary foes (Bosses) and obtain rewards for successfully completing it.
If you want to train and prepare for the gauntlets, you can select Reflections of Strength to practice fighting against various bosses.

I got Dragon Rot while doing the Mortal Journey. I never died in the gauntlet obviously and I hadn't died in the play through I was on either. After I killed Genichiro, before I went on to Sword Saint, I got Rot Essence. Super weird.

please add a definitive information on if any of the three starting gauntlets need anything done to be available. Like defeating certain bosses or finishing certain endings being required to unlock any gauntlets.

When I was testing some boss strategies with the new art, I was using some rice like it was nothing, I thought it wouldn't go away but it did. I had like 13 in storage and when I realized, after several runs, I had just one left, everything seemed to restore but the rice, which is BS. Anyone else had this issue?

It might be worth mentioning to not use the Jizo Statue from Jinzaemon.
Keep it so that you have 2 Jizo statues in the gauntlet, as Jinzaemon's likely will not disappear afterwards.
Also spam ako sugars on the bosses you've fought many times, like great ape to make it go by faster.
I learned from someone to use the mist raven on Inner Isshin's mortal blade sweep and the attack where he charges up in the air.
I only ended up using the mist raven (not the final upgrade) for him, maybe some firecrackers.

Can you do the gauntlets at any time during the ng+ play through or only upon beating the game again/ before starting ng+?

The mortal journey gauntlet did not unlock for me until I finished both Severance and Shura gauntlets. Did others have a different experience?

Imagine if the last one gave a skin for your sword to make it look like the moonlight blade

Don't understand why last bossrush doesn't give anything. Could've been fun to get a skin with Black Mortal Blade.
