Master the Part 128 mission in Nioh 3 with our guide. Learn strategies for the stone guardians, Electric Onyudo, and the challenging Nue boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The mission begins with two battles. First, face two stone guardians. Lure one into attacking, then get behind it to deal damage. Defeat them quickly to avoid being overwhelmed.
  2. 2
    After the guardians, you will face an Electric Onyudo. Do not give it any items it begs for. Attack its sides and back to defeat it.
  3. 3
    The main event is a boss fight against Nue. Before Nue appears, use buffs: Water Talisman, Lightningstop Talisman, Regen Talisman, Protection Talisman, and Kekkai Talisman. Engage Nue, sticking to its sides and using Ki pulses. Block its twist attack if possible. Use your buffs to burn down 30-40% of its HP. Avoid standing in front of it when it prepares lightning attacks.
  4. 4
    After your buffs wear off, wait for Nue to use a lightning breath attack. Reapply all your buffs, and crucially, use a Sloth Talisman during this buff cycle to slow Nue down.
  5. 5
    Re-engage Nue, sticking to its sides and punishing it while avoiding lightning. With Sloth active, you should be able to deal another 40-50% damage, bringing it close to defeat.
  6. 6
    The guide notes that Nue's moves are familiar from previous encounters. The key to this fight is the strategic use of the provided items and talismans.
Tips
  • Conserve your Water Talisman, Sloth Talisman, Water Shot, Kekkai Talisman, Lightningstop Talisman, Rejuvination Talisman, and Protection Talisman for the final Nue battle.
  • Against Nue, buffing up before the fight is crucial.
  • Stick to Nue's sides and back to maximize damage and minimize risk.
  • Be aware of Nue's lightning attacks and avoid standing in front of it.
  • Use the Sloth Talisman during your buff cycle to significantly slow Nue down, making it easier to manage.
  • Ki pulse frequently to manage your stamina.
  • If you have enough health, dodging right during Nue's claw strikes can open opportunities for attacks.

  • Stats / Weaknesses: Primarily weak to lightning-based attacks, but the provided items focus on defense against it.
  • Phases: The fight is primarily one phase, but the strategy involves managing buffs and applying debuffs.
  • Strategy:
    • Buff up before engaging: Water Talisman, Lightningstop Talisman, Regen Talisman, Protection Talisman, Kekkai Talisman.
    • Stick to Nue's sides and hit hard, Ki pulsing.
    • Block the twist attack.
    • Use buffs to burn 30-40% of HP.
    • Rebuff when buffs fade, applying Sloth Talisman during the buff cycle.
    • Continue attacking sides, avoiding lightning. Burn another 40-50% HP.
    • Nue's moves are consistent with previous encounters.
  • Nue's Moves:
    • Lightning Strike: Nue stands still and roars, followed by four lightning strikes targeting your current location. Stay mobile to avoid; predictable and allows for counter-attacks.
    • Claw Strikes: Nue's primary melee attack when approached from the front. Can be one or two strikes. Dodge right on the right claw strike to get hits in, but don't be greedy.
    • Pounce: Nue leaps forward. Easy to dodge by moving away. If hit, Nue chews for multiple moderate damage hits. Rare move.
    • Body Twirl: A defensive move to push players away.
