Shinobi Prosthetic Tools are special equipment the main character Sekiro can wield in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The prosthetic arm was crafted by the Sculptor of the Dilapidated Temple, for Sekiro, after he lost his arm in combat.
As you explore the various regions, you may come upon Key Items that can be converted into Prosthetic Tools by the Sculptor. Up to three different tools can be equipped at a time for quick swapping, and each can be used in various ways - not only to damage opponents, but exploit certain weaknesses as well.
In addition, the Sculptor can also help upgrade your Shinobi Prosthetic, in exchange for a certain amount of currency (Sen), and certain upgrade materials found around the world and from defeating enemies.
See the list of known Prosthetic devices below, and for more details - including the location of the tool's key item, click on a tool for more information.
