Follow this Nioh walkthrough to explore beneath Sawayama Castle, defeat lurking yokai like Amrita Fiends and Dwellers, find hidden corpses, chests, and Kodama, and overcome environmental hazards.
Walkthrough:
- Start by the first SHRINE. Note the hole (broken staircase) above and head downwards. The door ahead is locked. To the left is a [_CORPSE_] and an Amrita Fiend patrols to the right. Defeat the Fiend and in the room past him to the right, break boxes for another [_CORPSE_]. Further on, a Dweller will activate a FLOOR TRAP. Let the Dweller take the damage and then kill it. The path ahead splits into stairs, a corner in the back, and a pathway to the right.
- Take the stairs. You can sneak around, but you'll eventually fight a Fiend. Defeat it and collect the [_CORPSE_] at the top. Fight or charm the Nurikabe Wall. It will allow passage to a room with a [_CHEST_] and a staircase. Head downstairs, defeat a Dweller in the back, and find a [_HUNTER KODAMA_]. Open the door to return near the first SHRINE.
- Return to the three-way path split. Take the path on the right (doubling back). Clear junk to proceed around the corner. Defeat the Wheelmonk (be ready to dodge). Near the corner is a door; go past it into the basement, collecting a [_CORPSE_] on the way down.
- In the basement, watch for a SPIDER on the ceiling. The first two cells contain [_CORPSE x2_]. The next cell has a Dweller, and the one opposite is LOCKED (key needed). Note two FIENDS and a Kodama. Enter the cell at the end (another locked door is on the right) to find a hiding Dweller and a Fiend. Lure them out to punish them in the narrow opening. Collect the [_BIG CHEST_] in the room afterward.
- Go back upstairs to the door in the corner. This leads to a room with a locked door (and a chest behind it) and another door. Enter the only accessible door for a [_CORPSE_] to your left and a Fiend ahead. Defeat the Fiend. Ahead, you'll see another Fiend and a red circle (a lantern spitting Spirits). It's recommended to shoot the Fiend to lure it to you. After defeating it, go right into the hallway (watch for a drop) and destroy the lantern and spirits.
- The current room has the gap you entered from, a corner leading back to the three-path area, and a hallway. This hallway is TRAPPED; do not go down it. Instead, go into the room and past the door. To the right is another door and a nearby [_CORPSE_]. Collect the corpse (the trap is just past it) and enter the room. Immediately guard, as a Dweller is above throwing bombs, and the barrels are trapped. Snipe the Dweller for a [_BIG CHEST_].
- Continue down the non-trapped hallway and turn right. The door ahead is locked. In the cubby with junk, there's a small opening to a FLOOR TRAP. Go past it to a three-way path split. Go left for a [_CORPSE_], then right up the stairs. A Dweller throws bombs from above the stairs, and a Giant Dweller is present. Defeat them both for a [_CORPSE_]. Shoot the barrels by the wall to reveal a hidden area. Up here, you can find a KAPPA on the ledge overlooking the barrel room. To the left, find a [_BIG CHEST_], a [_CHEST_], and a hidden [_HEALER KODAMA_].
- Return to the three-way split and go straight towards the mist to fight a Ninja Yokai. After defeating it, proceed to the SHRINE. Unlock the giant gate nearby and use the shrine as a checkpoint.
- From the shrine, exit the gate and go right, down the stairs. You'll reach another
