poise

The skin guide describes jumping as consuming poise and says unequipping a sword reduces that consumption.

Evidence: 3 community-reported · Last verified: 2026-11-14 · Sources: 1

Poise is the resource affected by jumping in the available community evidence. The most reliable way to reduce the poise spent while climbing is to unequip your sword before jumping; switching to Tachi is also useful because it provides more poise recovery. The source uses the term “poise,” although the narrator briefly expresses uncertainty about the spelling.

How to Manage Poise

Use the following approach when a climb requires repeated jumps:

1. Before starting the jump sequence, unequip your sword. The guide specifically states that jumping consumes much less poise when no sword is equipped. [src-356d0a0244]
2. If you need to keep a weapon equipped, switch from the sword transcribed as “EI” to Tachi. The narrator changes weapons because Tachi has more poise recovery. [src-356d0a0244]
3. Continue the jump sequence while monitoring how far you can climb. The demonstrated route reaches the top of the bamboo after the sword is unequipped and the jump sequence is continued. [src-356d0a0244]
4. Once you reach the top, complete the interaction or collection associated with that location. In the source demonstration, reaching the top of the bamboo allows the player to take the “Shoots and Leaves” skin. [src-356d0a0244]

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Prepare for the climb

Identify the bamboo climb that requires repeated jumping. The available demonstration describes the climb as difficult when attempted with the “EI” sword, whose dash is described as very long. Because that dash makes the maneuver difficult, the narrator stops using it for this attempt. [src-356d0a0244]

You do not need to copy the sword setup used in the failed attempts. The important poise-related preparation is to remove the sword before jumping. This lowers the poise cost of each jump according to the community evidence. [src-356d0a0244]

2. Unequip the sword

Unequip your current sword before beginning the main jumping sequence. The source does not provide a specific control input for unequipping, so use the normal in-game method available in your setup.

This is the clearest poise-management step in the guide: jumping with the sword unequipped takes “a lot less poise” than jumping while it is equipped. [src-356d0a0244] The evidence does not state an exact cost, percentage, or minimum poise requirement, so treat the benefit as a qualitative reduction rather than a fixed numerical value.

3. Consider Tachi when a weapon is required

If the situation requires you to keep a sword equipped, change to Tachi. The narrator says Tachi has more poise recovery and switches to it after finding the “EI” sword too difficult for the climb. [src-356d0a0244]

This does not establish a precise recovery rate or guarantee that Tachi is necessary for every jump. It does establish Tachi as the weapon choice used in the demonstration for improved poise recovery. When the climb permits it, unequipping the sword remains the more direct way to reduce jumping consumption.

4. Perform the jump sequence

Begin jumping after applying the equipment change. The source shows the player continuing the climb and reaching the top of the bamboo after reducing the poise burden from jumping. [src-356d0a0244]

The excerpt does not document exact jump timings, a fixed number of jumps, or a complete control-by-control route. For that reason, use the visible bamboo route and repeat the demonstrated movement rather than relying on an undocumented jump count. If the attempt becomes difficult while using a sword, return to the swordless setup or use Tachi for its higher poise recovery.

5. Finish at the top

When you reach the top of the bamboo, complete the available interaction. In the recorded example, the player reaches the top, takes the “Shoots and Leaves” skin, and demonstrates its appearance afterward. [src-356d0a0244]

Tips

• Unequip the sword before jumping whenever possible; this is the main method given for making jumping consume much less poise. [src-356d0a0244]
• Use Tachi when you need a weapon equipped and want more poise recovery. [src-356d0a0244]
• Avoid relying on the “EI” sword’s dash for this climb. The source describes its dash as very long and says it made the maneuver very difficult. [src-356d0a0244]
• Do not treat the source’s wording as an exact numerical guide. It gives no poise costs, recovery values, jump count, or required threshold.
• The narrator is uncertain about the spelling of the mechanic’s name, but the mechanic is referred to here as poise.

Rewards

The demonstrated climb leads to the “Shoots and Leaves” skin at the top of the bamboo. [src-356d0a0244] The source also says the player apparently receives 250 after reaching the location, but the narrator is uncertain whether this happens every time or only every other time after obtaining the skin. [src-356d0a0244] Treat that 250 reward as community-reported and unconfirmed rather than a guaranteed fixed payout.
