Master Nioh 3's Mystic Arts for Axe, Kusarigama, Ninjutsu, and Onmyo Magic. Learn how to get disguises and complete Dojo missions.
Alright, let's talk about unlocking some of the cooler endgame stuff in Nioh 3, specifically the Mystic Arts for your weapons and skills, plus how to snag a disguise. These are mostly tied to trophies, but they represent serious character progression, so they're worth focusing on!
Mystic Arts for Weapons and Skills
You'll need to reach the sixth area of the game and achieve a certain level of Affinity with specific weapon types or stats before these special Dojo missions even show up. Think of Affinity as your mastery score with a particular weapon or skill.
- Axe Master: To unlock the mystic art for the Axe, you'll need 50,000 Affinity with Axes. The associated Dojo mission is called "The Invincible."
- Kusarigama Master: Similar to the Axe, you'll need 50,000 Affinity with the Kusarigama. The mission for this one is "A Clash of Sickles."
- Ninjutsu Master: This one requires you to have at least 25 Dexterity. The mission you'll undertake is "A True Ninga," and it involves fighting Okatsu again.
- Onmyo Magic Master: For this, you'll need 25 Magic. The mission is "A Greater Harmony," and it's a bit tougher, involving waves of Yokai.
Getting a Disguise
The "Disguiser" trophy is pretty straightforward, but you have to wait until a bit later in the game. After you've beaten the "Spider Nest Castle" mission, you'll unlock the "Hidden Teahouse." From the Starting Point menu, go to the Hidden Teahouse, then select "Trade," and finally "Transform." You can buy a disguise here using Glory, which you earn by defeating Revenants (those red graves you see scattered around the world). Once you buy and equip one, the trophy pops!
- Grind Smart: Don't be afraid to grind levels if you're short on the Dexterity or Magic requirements for Ninjutsu and Onmyo Magic. It's better to do it gradually than to hit a wall later.
- Revenant Farming: If you need Glory for a disguise, actively seek out Revenant graves. They're a reliable source of Glory and can also drop useful gear.
- Dojo Missions: These missions are designed to test your mastery. Make sure you're prepared with appropriate gear and skills before attempting them, especially the Yokai wave missions.
