🏊‍♂️ Module function

This mod gives you access to **Ashina Breathing Technique** at the beginning of the game, allowing the wolf to dive underwater and explore immediately! ✨

🌊 Underwater freedom

  • 🎯 Diving naturally from the beginning of the game
  • 🗺️ Explore some underwater areas in advance
  • ⚡ No need to wait for the plot to unlock

🎮 Game Balance

While some areas can be explored early, this does not disrupt the main progression of the game:

  • Still need to go to Ashina no Sato to get the Shelter Stone
  • Will not cause game freezes or major process disruptions

-Keeping the core game experience intact

🔧 Installation instructions

Basic installation

  • Copy the params folder into your mods folder
  • Sekiro Mod Engine needs to be installed

🛠️ Merge Guide (Advanced Users)

If you want to merge this mod with other mods, the following steps are recommended:

**Manual parameter setting method:**

  • Open the final file you would normally import in Smithbox
  • Find ActionUnlockParam in the parameter editor
  • Find the first row with ID 0
  • Check the "Unlock Dive" option
  • This will add Ashina Breath Technique to the default player unlock status
  • Save the parameter file as usual

💡 *Tip: These steps are only for users who want to merge with other mods. If you only need this module, just install the parameter file normally. *

I've also included a .csv file if you prefer the regular method.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
