Complete walkthrough for Part 20 of Nioh 3, detailing how to navigate the underground areas, find hidden Kodama, defeat enemies like Skeletons and Dwellers, and reach Lady Ginchiyo.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, talk to the NPC until she repeats lines. Search both sides of the room for 2 [_CHEST_]. Enter the door the IMP was guarding and immediately turn right to find the [_HUNTER KODAMA_] behind a crank.
  2. 2
    Step on the middle button of the elevator to descend. Head forward until the doors shut. Visit the [_SHRINE_] here, then proceed down the only available path.
  3. 3
    A cat will appear. Head up the stairs (the door is locked) and continue down the path. Engage and defeat the two Skeleton Warriors in the next room, one of whom is firing from a distance. Note the ARROW TRAP to the left as you turn right down the hall.
  4. 4
    Stick to the left path and go down the nearby steps to find a [_CORPSE_]. Continue down more steps to a two-path junction. Go RIGHT, lure out and kill the Dweller, then kill the nearby Yokai to loot the [_CORPSE_] it was guarding. Beware of a trap ahead on the floor, and look to the RIGHT for a [_HEALER KODAMA_].
  5. 5
    Proceed to a room with a Skeleton Warrior firing at you. Stick to the LEFT wall, rush, and defeat it. Take out the SENTRY in the room below. Enter the nearby door to find a LARGE Skeleton Warrior patrolling and a [_CORPSE_] ahead. Continue down this path to another [_CORPSE_] with a Dweller nearby. Return to the room with the archer, head up the steps to gain height, and take the path found there.
  6. 6
    This path leads to a wall area where you can descend to kill a small spirit guarding a [_CHEST_]. Head back and go down the stairs to find a [_SHRINE_]. Use it and take the nearby path, going right to fight a Sentry guarding a [_BIG CHEST_]. Then, go down the other path and kill the Sentry there. This path contains a [_WARRIOR KODAMA_].
  7. 7
    Kill the Dweller up the steps and loot the [_CORPSE_]. From the way you came, go RIGHT. This leads to the GIANT Skeleton Warrior; defeat it and the Sentry to its left. Follow this path to the right corner to find a [_CORPSE_] and a Skeleton Warrior. Follow the wall around to the other corner to kill a Fiend and obtain a [_CORPSE_]. Proceed to the back room where a Skeleton Archer will fire at you. Stick to the right side and rush it. Defeat the Sentry in the center area. Note that up the stairs and to the right is a hidden [_CORPSE_].
  8. 8
    Go down the stairs and right. Right of the steps leading to the central area, defeat a Sentry behind armors to get a [_CORPSE_]. Enter the room to the right of that to find a NURIKABE WALL. Defeat it to reveal a new path.
  9. 9
    This path leads to a room with a right path back to the previous room, or you can continue straight to find a HOT SPRING. Use the hot spring and return to the previous room. This time, go STRAIGHT, which leads to a hallway with a large staircase going up. Kill the Skeleton Warrior and the Dweller (if still alive) at the top. From the top of the stairs, go left.
  10. 10
    This pathway leads to a new section. In the large room, go straight. Beware of a floor trap and head to the back. Note a kappa down the first right path. Defeat the Giant Skeleton Warrior to the right. Sneak up on the kappa from behind and defeat it.
  11. 11
    Continue on and enter a room to the LEFT, watching for a floor trap. Inside, find [_BIG CHEST x3_]. One chest is a TANUKI (trap chest). Copy the Tanuki's GESTURE to receive the [_OVERJOYED GESTURE_].
  12. 12
    Head outside, avoiding a trap, and kill a giant Skeleton Warrior. At a left/right choice, go right. Stick to the right wall to find a room. Go past it, stick to the right wall, and kill the Sentry. Kill the next Sentry past it to access a [_BIG CHEST_] in the wall they were guarding. Return to the large room with the straight/right choice and head back up the stairs into a new room.
  13. 13
    Behind rubble ahead is a Dweller; kill it and check the broken wall area for a [_SWORDSMAN KODAMA_]. Head back, pick up the nearby [_CORPSE_], and avoid the floor trap. When you can go right, do so and head down the stairs (the gate is still locked). Pick up the [_CORPSE_] you find. Head back up and continue to reach the lamp. Interact with the lamp, then jump down and open the door below. Heal at the nearby [_SHRINE_].
  14. 14
    Proceed forward and open the next door (you may need to kill a Revenant). You'll be in the central room. Kill or ignore the giant skeleton and go right, following the path to the far room to kill the skeleton archer. Open the doors and go down to meet Lady Ginchiyo.
