Nioh 3 The Source of Evil walkthrough: Defeat the Gasha-Dokuro and quell darkness in Sekigahara. Learn boss attack patterns and Kodama locations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to Sekigahara in September 1600. The Yokai Realm and earthly realms are intertwined, allowing yokai free reign.
  2. 2
    Your objective is to defeat Gasha-dokuro and quell the encroaching darkness.
  3. 3
    Visit the Shrine (a place to rest and recover) and then head into the area.
  4. 4
    Defeat the Skeleton Warrior before the Giant one.
  5. 5
    Around the corner, you will meet Tenkai, who will give you a [_SOUL-SOOTHING COMB_]. Keep this item.
  6. 6
    Head to the next area and approach the red puddle for a Revenant fight. These red puddles are permanent Yokai Realm patches; fight outside them.
  7. 7
    There is a [_CORPSE_] here. Cross the bridge and shoot the Skeleton Warrior in the watchtower.
  8. 8
    Kill the Skeleton Warrior near the Yokai Realm BEFORE killing the Revenant.
  9. 9
    You can find a [_CORPSE_] up the watchtower. Kill the Archer to the right from up here as well.
  10. 10
    Head back down to the water and kill the Flan.
  11. 11
    Follow the water to the right and kill another Flan.
  12. 12
    Get the [_CORPSE_] up the ramp and further ahead to another [_CORPSE_], being mindful of the two Skeleton Warriors nearby.
  13. 13
    Head to the left onto the field. There's a Skeleton Rifleman near the ledge. Behind a TREE near the ledge is an [_ORACLE KODAMA_].
  14. 14
    Kill the rifleman. Note there's a Flan in the water below.
  15. 15
    Out in the field is a Fiend with a [_CORPSE_] nearby and an Oni marching around. Kill them all.
  16. 16
    Head forward to a well for an item.
  17. 17
    To the left of the well, find a [_HEALER KODAMA_] behind some junk, and a [_CORPSE_] to the right.
  18. 18
    Head to the river and kill a Flan.
  19. 19
    Head to the giant red crystal nearby. There is a Skeleton Warrior back here; defeat him.
  20. 20
    Interact with the red crystal, using the "Comb" you received earlier. This turns the corrupted realm nearby into a good aura.
  21. 21
    The giant Gasha-Dokuro will focus on you for a bit. Dodge its attacks. Hanzo will distract it, leaving you free.
  22. 22
    Go beyond the barrier (where the Skeleton Warrior was).
  23. 23
    There's a Skeleton Warrior this way, as well as a Revenant.
  24. 24
    There may also be a Skeleton Archer up above you to the left if you didn't get him earlier.
  25. 25
    Past that, there's a Wheelmonk; guard yourself against fire.
  26. 26
    In the corner past the Wheelmonk, there's a [_WARRIOR KODAMA_] to guide home.
  27. 27
    Head up the ramp and up the watchtower for a [_SWORDSMAN KODAMA_].
  28. 28
    Check behind the watchtower for a [_CORPSE_].
  29. 29
    Ahead, kill the archer on the right if you haven't yet, then the Revenant that spawns.
Tips
  • When Shima summons Kara-Jishi, he may perform the "Kara-Jishi Thrust" where Kara-Jishi breathes lightning. You can dash through this with good timing, similar to Nue's lightning breath. This attack can electrify you.
  • Shima's "Lightning Fall" involves him jumping into the air as Kara-Jishi appears, charging his spear, and plunging down. He can do this at an angle, so be ready to roll away. The area around him is electrified upon landing, so roll away. If you have enough Ki (stamina), rush him and attack directly afterwards.
  • Fight Revenants outside of the red Yokai Realm puddles.
  • When fighting the Gasha-Dokuro, dodge its attacks.
  • Use the Soul-Soothing Comb on the red crystal to cleanse the area.
  • Spirit Obtained: "Possessed by Kara-jishi via spirit division."
  • Sub-Mission "Desperate Retreat" unlocked.
  • Sub-Mission "Kuroda's Determination" unlocked.
