Reflections of Strength for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a new feature that will be added to the Sekiro Free Update on October 29, 2020. Reflections of Strength is a game mode that allows players to challenge any boss for a re-match that has been previously defeated. The Wolf can reflect on these memories and re-run the battle of the selected boss, this allows the player to better understand the boss, to learn its movements, to come up with various ways to achieve victory, and to prepare for the Gauntlets of Strength. This page covers information regarding this game mode.
How to access Reflections
Reflections of Strength are added to the Free Update, Patch 1.05. This feature allows the player to select and relive battles from a compendium of extraordinary foes (Bosses). To access this, interact with a Sculptor's Idol, and select "Reflections of Strength".
This feature does not grant players any rewards, but instead, it is mainly used for training and preparation for the Gauntlets of Strength. You can, however, view or leave Remnants for other players to watch. There are also notable changes to bosses made in Reflections; for example, the Divine Dragon's first phase has been removed from its Reflection, and the battles with Emma, the Gentle Blade and Isshin Ashina (Boss) have been seperated into their own Reflections.

AnonymousI went back to re-match genichiro and I feel like he does way more damage now than I remmeber him dealing when we fought the first time. His great bow one shots me while I have vitality 14 and power 4 but when I first fought him, the great bow doesn’t deal that much one shot damage.
My question is: do rememberance bosses scale up or do you scale down when you re-match them so that way they stay a challenge? Or is there a new lootable item for beating them twice?

What happens if I DO beat one of the bosses in this mode? It said something about progress when, let's say you defeat Genichiro

Does it cost actual resource like sugars, spiriit emblem or confetti when used in this mode?

I would be curious to know how many players completed those gauntlets charmless and demon bell. That's very difficult. The inner versions of the boss are so much more difficult than the actual NG+7 game.

The bosses appear to be harder then when they were first fought. Gyoubu is literally one shitting me with almost every move. Can anyone confirm?

Does dying in the Reflections of Strength contribute to dragonrot? I can't find the answer to this anywhere.

now I don't have to miss out on fighting sword saint if I want to fight is shin ashina :D
I really wish things were explained a bit better in-game. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it was mentioned that I wouldn't gain attack power by defeating memories.
