Complete walkthrough for the Main Mission 'The Hidden Monsters of Okehazama' in Nioh 2. Find all Kodama, defeat bosses like Yamanba and Enki, and navigate the dark realms.
Walkthrough
- 1Outer Area: Find the first shrine. Speak to the man with the spear and use the 'bring it on' emote to proceed. Follow the path, entering a cave after a destroyed bridge. Inside, defeat 3 Gaki and find a small chest in a side cavern.
- 2Head to the next room, defeat the Enki and Gaki (shoot the Gaki first). Find the first Kodama in a corner behind a wood barrier.
- 3Return to the first room and take the left cave. Defeat the Enki. At a fork, destroy boxes to find the second Kodama.
- 4Take the other path, defeat the Yamanba. Exit left, turn right for a Sudama, then left for a ladder shortcut to the first shrine.
- 5Return to the Yamanba's location and take the remaining cave. You'll be ambushed by another Yamanba outside. Defeat it, enter its cave, break boxes, and defeat a Scrampuss.
- 6Advance to a bridge before a dark realm. You'll see a fork: one path into the dark realm, one up a hill. Both lead to the second shrine; explore both for items and ease.
- 7Dark Realm Town: Enter the village, defeat a Yamanba and Gaki. At a well, hit it to spawn a Kappa; defeat it. Behind barrels opposite the well, find the third Kodama. Defeat the Enki causing the dark realm. Open a chest at the start of town, climb a ladder, clear remaining Yokai, and reach the second shrine.
- 8Forest Area: Enter the forest, fight Gaki and Nure-onna. Knock down a tree for a shortcut. Find the fourth Kodama in a small corner opposite some statues. Reach the second shrine.
- 9Inner Area: Follow the path, defeat the Kurasu Tengu. Enter a cave. To the right of a Yamanba, go right at a fork. Defeat a Large Gaki and open the chest (may contain a Mujina).
- 10Return to the previous fork (with paper streams). Take the path with wooden posts and paper streams. Fight 2 Nure-onna and a Gaki. The fifth Kodama is in a cave to the left. A cave to the right leads back to the first cavern of the mission.
- 11Advance through the remaining cave, fighting a sub-boss Yamanba. In a cavern with a central pillar, defeat the Nure-onna on the ceiling.
- 12Follow the path to a dark realm with a One-Eyed Oni, Blue Oni Bi, and Gaki. Defeating the One-Eyed Oni removes the dark realm. Behind its building is the third shrine.
- 13Near the Kodama shrine, find the sixth Kodama in some grass.
- 14From the shrine, take the leftmost path outside to find human soldiers. This path loops back, so only clear nearby soldiers. Examine a wall with eyeballs to find a Nuri-kabe; use the whistle emote or kill it. Behind it is a hotspring.
- 15Head back to the shrine. Take the path next to the one leading to the One-Eyed Oni (not the red torii gate path). This leads to the second Sudama and a burning tree shortcut to the first shrine.
- 16Finally, go through the cave with the red Torii gate. Upon exiting, human soldiers appear. Lightning strikes will follow you; watch for ground sparks. This can stun enemies. Ahead is a white tent; do not enter yet.
Tips
- Kodama must be recollected in each new region to access blessings and elixir bonuses.
- Shoot the Gaki on the scaffolding in the head before engaging the Enki.
- Destroy boxes to reveal hidden paths and Kodama.
- Use the 'bring it on' emote on the man with the spear to progress.
- Be cautious of falling off ledges, especially when fighting the second Yamanba outside its cave.
- Exploring both paths after the bridge before the dark realm is recommended for items and ease.
- The lightning strikes near the end can be used to stun enemies.
- The Nuri-kabe requires the whistle emote, not 'Nice!'.
- Specific rewards are not detailed in the source text but typically include Amrita, equipment, and crafting materials upon mission completion.
