Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Diaries - Part 3

Welcome back to my Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Diaries, a series where I attempt to avoid making a fool of myself in this W difficult souls like game. Last time, I managed to defeat General Tenzen Yamauchi, obtaining my third Prayer Bead. I would only need one more to increase my maximum health...

However, before going out and finding another miniboss to defeat, it would be a waste if I didn't take this opportunity to explore further in the Ashina Outskirts. If I left before even finding another Sculptor's Idol, I'd have to run through all of the enemies in this area again later, bar the two minibosses I had already vanquished. A brief amount of careful scouting told me that I had two paths in front of me: a broken bridge to my left and a wooden wall on the other side of the double doors to my right. This time, I decided to take the left route.

Beyond the bridge, there was a large ravine that seemed uncrossable, with a similarly large building on the other side. Thankfully, there was an area to jump down to below the left side of the bridge. Carefully jumping down, I made sure to look behind me. You never know when there might be a free item lying around! There turned out to be an item after all, a set of two Pellets, useful little healing items that slowly restore health in contrast to the Healing Gourd's quick boost. Above those Pellets, however, there was a gecko lying in wait, crawling along the bottom of the broken bridge. It jumped down to face me and, in a panic, I threw a shuriken at the beast, killing it instantly. I suppose I might've been overreacting a tad!
