Sekiro Enemy and Item Randomizer

This mod has basic compatibility with Sekiro v1. 06, except for reflections and gauntlets.

A comprehensive enemy and item randomizer for Sekiro, including boss randomization and key item randomization.

Things to definitely know for item randomizer

- The first castle invasion starts when you have Mortal Blade, Shelter Stone, and Lotus of the Palace; you have Isshin asked about the Mortal Blade location in the watchtower (talked to him twice); and you are in Senpou Temple/Sunken Valley/Ashina Depths/Hirata Temple.

- You can get into Ashina Castle after the first invasion even if you can't swim underwater, through the Ashina Reservoir gate

- To enter Hirata Estate without the Shinobi Prosthetic, do a running jump, holding forward the whole time, onto the tree branch you could otherwise grapple onto (see https://streamable.com/u7d7y). If you get stuck in water, you may have to use Homeward Idol to get out.

Things to definitely know for enemy randomizer

- Game progression things that apply to enemies will apply to their replacements instead. e.g. killing Guardian Ape's replacement will spawn Headless Ape's replacement.

- Armored Warrior will now fall off the edge of anything the game considers a floor collision. This is easiest off of ledges/cliffs. If there is no ledge/cliff, kick him into a wall or a rock. He only shows up in arenas where this is possible, but you may have to try a few spots.

Installation

To install and run:

1. From the Files tab of the mod page, download Sekiro Randomizer, and also the latest official Sekiro Mod Engine release. You will also need to download Combined SFX if you haven't unpacked the game using UXM, and Divine Dragon Textures if you want Divine Dragon to have textures when randomized.

2. Add the randomizer directory directly into the Sekiro.exe directory from SekiroRandomizer.zip (not into an existing mods or parts directory).

3. Install Sekiro Mod Engine. If the last time you downloaded a version of Mod Engine was before November 2020, you must the new official version instead. It allocates 200 MB additional memory for sound files and is required for avoiding crashes. It should suffice to copy dinput8.dll and modengine.ini into your Sekiro directory.

4. Change modengine.ini to have modOverrideDirectory="\randomizer", if it's not already.

5. All enemy sfx should be combined, since otherwise many of their attacks won't be visible. There are two ways to do this.

5a. Download CombinedSFX.zip (76 MB download) and extract the sfx directory into the randomizer directory.

5b. Alternat
