Nioh Part 23 walkthrough: Find Healer Kodama, Swordsman Kodama, and the Central Mines Key. Learn how to destroy poison rocks.
Walkthrough
- 1From the poison rock area, head back and take the right path (right of the ramp to the machine). Kill the Dweller guarding a corpse.
- 2Enter the area in front of the machine, noting the ramp to the right that leads to the level entrance. Ignore it for now.
- 3Kill the Dweller in the back and grab the corpse on the right.
- 4In the back, break some boxes to access a chest on the right. Grab the corpse against the wall.
- 5To the left, find a ladder. Do not go left as it leads to a previously visited area. Go right, kill the Fiend, and follow the path to a Dweller (who can be knocked off), a corpse, and a Healer Kodama. Send the Kodama home.
- 6Go back to where the Yokai Mist was and look down. Run off the current platform towards the right corner to land on a lower platform.
- 7On the lower platform, find a Hot Spring and a chest. Drop to a roof for a Swordsman Kodama, then drop down below.
- 8Down here, grab the corpse behind you and the corpse in front of you. Take the left path to a new area.
- 9In the new poison mist area, head up the ladder to the right. Kill the Yokai at the top.
- 10Watch out for a Dweller throwing fire bombs from the left. Shoot him in the head once the Fiend is dead.
- 11Stick to the right wall and at the end, on the right, find a door to unlock. Note a platform below.
- 12Head down the walkways to the other side, noting a ladder to the left. Knock it down but do not descend.
- 13Destroy boxes on the ledge to the right. Wait for the Healer Kodama to re-appear and send him home.
- 14Grab the corpse near the bats, blocking them, and enter the tunnel they came from to find a chest on the left.
- 15Head back and follow the path, dropping off when necessary.
- 16Kill the Skeleton Archer on the left. Fight the Wheelmonk near the Air Machine, drawing him back to a wider area.
- 17From the machine, look down at the poison rock straight ahead. Turn it on, go down, and destroy the poison rock and wandering Yokai.
- 18From the poison stone, head forward to the right into a dead-end tunnel for a corpse.
- 19Head out of the tunnel and straight ahead to find another tunnel in the opposite rock wall. Ignore it for now.
- 20Go left to find a locked door and, to its left in a nook, an Oracle Kodama.
- 21Head up the ladder kicked down earlier and back to where the door was opened. Drop to the lower platform, aiming for the boxes, to land on it.
- 22Send the Warrior Kodama home. Drop down again and take the nearby tunnel.
- 23To the right is a chest. Loot it and head up the ladder to where the Skeleton Archer was. Loot the corpse to find the Central Mines Key.
- 24Drop down and open the locked door below.
- 25Enter a room with a corpse against the wall and a Kodama Shrine. Level up if possible.
- 26Continue on to another poison area. Kill the Wheelmonk on the walkways before proceeding.
- 27Look around to see an Air Machine below. There are two poison rocks below. Head past the warped bridge.
- 28The bridge to the left will break. Go right and around the corner. Note the drop to the right, get the corpse, then go back and drop down to the Air Machine. Use it immediately.
- 29Follow the left platform to a corpse, then drop down.
- 30Take out the Dweller and wandering Yokai. Destroy the poison rock you landed near.
- 31Grab the corpse to the left, then run back to the ladder by the Air Machine and climb back up.
- 32Use the Air Machine when it poisons again. Climb up and go right.
- 33Drop off the right platform and go right to kill a Dweller and loot a corpse.
- 34Go down the tunnel to find a Warrior Kodama. Send him home and drop down.
- 35Kill the Yokai and the poison stone. Note the Dweller by the stone. Focus on destroying the stone.
- 36In the area by the last poison stone, find two corpses. One is near a hole.
- 37Turn around and check the left cubby for another corpse.
- 38Turn around again and go down that path. Ignore the ladder for now, but note its location.
- 39Get the fourth corpse. Just past the wood on the left, find a Swordsman Kodama and send him home.
- 40Straight ahead connects back to where the first poison stone was. Find another corpse and a Yokai if not yet killed.
- 41Head back to the ladder and climb up.
