is there an easy way to get all the skills?

[Proxidist]

I wanna get the achievement but it feels like the hardest/most time consuming thing to do.
Will going into NG++ help?

Just playing through the game over and over will eventually get you there, provided you don’t die a lot.

An easier but considerably more tedious way is to just go to Ashina Outskirts Wall - Stairway once Ashina Castle is set on fire, backstab the 5 enemies in that area.

You’ll get around 5k experience for every ~1 minute run through.

The higher your ng the more xp from enemies

Personally i'm going to go for multiple endings so ng+ cause i want all the achievements, i'm just going to play through my first time then find a nice balance where i can grind alot still pretty early and get all the skills etc.

To get all of the skills you need a tremendous amount of skillpoints. before ng ++++ it doesnt make much sense to farm them as the xp increases in further ng+. And even then it will take you approximately atleast 12 hours of grinding the same mobs over and over without dying.

If that is something you would like to do, go ahead. Though i did find this part extremely dissapointing and tedious

As flow mentioned, there are some farming methods but no matter what you do it will be a bit of a grind

I went to Ashina Castle - Antechamber (i think it's called) idol and just backstab the two nearby dudes over and over again. It took a very long time.
I also did a bit of killing dudes either on the castle steps, Gun Fort idol, the early Fountainhead idols, using the Divine Abduction tool to cheese backstabs
It took 3 playthroughs to get the skill tree fully fleshed out

I need like 4 more skills, 3 of them being those like big final skills in the final tree. Should I just go into my third playthrough? lol

Might as well, the higher the NG you're in the more exp you get

The way I did it was get through the game getting the three "good" endings, and then getting to the end of the Shura ending and doing my farming there. Took around 2 hours of just farming with the method I mentioned earlier while I watched a movie to get the rest of the XP I needed.

And that's after I stupidly spent 20-25 levels on power upgrades that barely made a difference damage-wise, but made levels take considerably longer.

it takes like 40k exp to level up now for me :(

I got all skills on ng+6, idk if it increases xp gained but I used no kuro charm till ng+2 then +3 onwards I used no charm and demon bell, I got all skills right before you have to fight owl without ever grinding, I really doubt you can farm beforehand since in ng+6 every main boss gives 40k-50k xp so I would say don't even bother considering farming lol.

Just find an area or 2 that you like and are great at and just farm enemies and then go spend all those skill points. Doesn't even feel like a grind to me as I use to love finding and taking out EVERY enemy on a level in tenchu years back. So I just love redoing an area in Sekiro to as its fun and I get more skill points/exp to spend :)
