Help Kuro or Obey the Iron Code – What Are the Outcomes? Explained!

There comes a time in Sekiro when you are presented with two different options: Help Kuro or Obey the Iron Code. You can only pick one and continue your journey in the game. 

But most of us really don’t know what are the consequences of each option. Well, that’s why I’m sharing here the outcomes of both options. But let me clear one thing first, there is not much difference in the later gameplay whether you choose to help Kuro or obey the Iron Code. 

With that being said, let’s dive in and see what’s holding down there. 

Which Option Should You Choose? Help Kuro or Obey the Iron Code

Once you have killed Genichiro, you will be given two options a bit later in the game. The options are to follow the Iron Code or continue to serve Kuro. Now, you may think that there will be entirely different consequences for each option, but that’s not the case. 

The most shocking part of this is that game presents these options as there is a huge difference in the later game and players will have to face the consequences. But there is nothing like that. The game will not really tell you about the outcomes. 

But if you wish to choose to follow the Iron Code the game will also mention that you will have to protect Kuro and this is the most weird thing that we are facing. Like if you choose to follow the code you will still have to save Kuro. 

Does Helping Kuro Bring Any Changes in the Story? 

Whether it’s Kuro asking for help or the Owl who presents you with the two options. At both spots, choosing to help Kuro won’t bring any change. And this is quite funny as well, like why would there be even a choice when you have no differences? 

So, the players who have been confused all this time are now finally taking a sigh of relief. You can now freely choose any of the options, whether it’s Kuro who asks or Owl who gives you the options.
