Nioh 3 Part 48 walkthrough covering the Honda Tadakatsu boss fight and the Ryunoshin the Dung Lover quest.

Walkthrough:

  1. From the start, go to the shed across the way to loot a corpse.
  2. Head down the path behind you and up the stairs to the next area.
  3. Kill the Fiend to your right.
  4. Return to the top of the stairs, go straight ahead, and destroy the junk to find a hidden Healer Kodama (a type of spirit that can heal you).
  5. Go to where the Fiend was and ignore the door to the left for now.
  6. Head right to a ladder, climb it, and loot the corpse.

  17. Any crystals destroyed remain destroyed even if you die.

  19. Continue through the next door and see another large purple crystal in an inaccessible room.
  20. Head left, break junk, and loot a corpse.
  21. Go down the ladder, break items, and proceed to the hallway.
  22. Speak to the non-hostile NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you), Ryunoshin the Dung Lover, who requests dung balls.
