Is there anythiong i should do before fighting the devine dragon?
are there any bosses i can get locked out of after i fight it

After beating the Divine Dragon, Ashina Castle and Ashina Outskirts will change. Some of the paths become locked and any boss that is in Ashina Castle or Ashina Outskirts right now that you haven't fought will become unavailable after beating the Divine Dragon. That includes Ashina Reserviour as well (which does have a tool and at least one mini boss)

EVERYTHING changes after Divine Dragon... it's like the fork in the road for endings.

I severely screwed up my first playthrough because I didn't know that. I was so salty about it that I deleted the save file after endgame, which made me even more salty when I realized I had to farm for skill points... and then when I 100%ed the game, I deleted the save file again which is going to suck for DLC.

Why do I punish myself so?

An easy mode would really fix my problems. I wish they had one. :/

Or don't delete your save games. Honestly why are you even doing that?

After Divine Dragon, any quest involving Emma, Sculptor, Isshin, or Kuro will not be able to advance, as well as some minor NPCs. Some key things:

1. For the return ending, you need to have done the Kuro rice ball part; all the rest just needs the Divine Child so you should be okay.
2. For the purification ending, you need to have acquired both bell charms.
3. Anayama the Peddlar's quest is also no longer doable, except that you can get your final reward if you've done all the earlier steps.

Not really, but if you aren't far enough along in the other ending quests, you will be locked out.

If you have progressed the other ending quests far enough, the actual fork only happens after the final boss fight when you talk to Kuro.

Now one save game takes only about 20MB of space (I do Back up after each playing session...) so it is really not issue... I have about 10 backups storaged... So I also don't understand why to delete save after walktrought...?
