Part 63

Part 63 of our Nioh walkthrough guides you through a confusing dungeon maze. Discover hidden paths, grab essential keys, and find all the Kodama.

Alright, let's dive into Part 63. This section can be a bit of a maze, so stick with me and we'll get through it. We're starting off in what feels like a basement, and the path forward is to the left. You'll see a couple of cells on your way. The one on the right has a Dweller, but the left one is more interesting – it's got a spider and a corpse. Keep pushing forward, and you'll run into a Fiend patrolling. Take him out, and right near him is another cell, but it's empty. The door just past the Fiend is important; opening it creates a shortcut back to an area we've already explored. Nice!

Now, head back to that earlier split and take the 'right' path this time. You'll find a staircase leading down. Go down and grab the big chest in the corner. When you exit, you'll face a wandering Fiend and a Skeleton Warrior. Deal with them, and then look for a nearby Kodama. Exit the doors and go RIGHT; the Warrior Kodama is tucked away around the corner. Guide him home!

Continue on, and you'll reach a path that splits three ways: sharp left, straight ahead, or right. Let's take the sharp LEFT first through a narrow opening. You'll find a Hot Springs here – a nice little break. Head back out and take the path that was previously the 'straight' one. You'll encounter a Wheelmonk; take it down and grab the corpse nearby. Keep going to more jail cells. Be cautious of a floor trap here, and you'll notice a locked cell. To the left, there's some mist. Before you charge in, snipe the skeleton on the upper right. Then, head into the mist to fight an Oni. This fight is crucial because the Oni drops the Gaoler's Keychain, which we've needed for a while. Make sure you grab it!

With the key in hand, head back to the previous cells to grab that corpse, and then check the cells in the Oni room on the left for another corpse. In the Oni room, the back-right cell leads up and around to an Oracle Kodama. Guide this Kodama home. Now, shoot the barrels below the room you just came from to significantly damage the three Dwellers in the room below. Drop down and finish them off.

You're now above the Oni room. You can see the stairs and the Oni room nearby if you need to reorient yourself. There's another corpse in that room. The room across the way has a big chest you can unlock. Once you've got that, take the stairs upwards.

Follow this winding path – the music should get more dramatic. You'll find a cubby on the right with some Dwellers. Here's a trick: run past the first Dweller, up to the second, and then quickly retreat to the cubby. A boulder will come crashing down and take them out. Kill the third Dweller past that, and note the path on the right as you continue upwards. At the very top, head LEFT past a snake mouth to find a chest in a room. Then, enter the snake mouth and go STRAIGHT into the wall.

You'll drop down onto a corpse. Loot it, and follow the spiral staircase down to another snake mouth. This leads to a somewhat out-of-the-way hallway. Head down it to find a Healer Kodama, another corpse, and a big chest. Unlock the door at the end of this hallway; you're now near where we fought the Lightning Fiend before. For now, go straight and then left, towards the two-way split, and then right down to the stairway and caves.

When you reach the three-way path split, go RIGHT this time. We're doubling back a bit here, just so you know. There's a drop here, but also a path to the right. Take that path up to a corpse, some small spider sacs, and a spider. Kill them all and continue upwards. Eventually, you'll reach a cell with a Swordsman Kodama. Guide him home and open the door here. You're back near where the Lightning Fiend was.

Okay, time for a loot hunt! Head back down the tunnel you just came from, back to the cliff drop, and jump down. This will get you a corpse and a big chest. You can also snipe the spider down below. Kill him, and then go LEFT. Surprisingly, there's no enemy in this big area. Grab the corpse here and go left again to find a second corpse and a Giant Skeleton. Defeat him and keep going, watching the left wall for another corpse. The area to the right has a corpse at the end, while the other area has a corpse and a Skeleton Warrior. Make sure to check the corner here for an Oracle Kodama. See? This trip to the caves was definitely worth it!

Head back to where you fought that spider earlier and go RIGHT this time. You'll see a Skeleton in the distance. Snipe him if you can, as he has a cannon. To the right is a Spider and a corpse. Heading up leads to a gate you can unlock, which connects to the dead-end dungeons from earlier.

It's good we're here. Remember that locked door with the Fiends? It's straight ahead. Open it and kill both Fiends. You can aggro the right one by approaching from this direction and luring him out. Once they're both dead, you can grab the Warrior Kodama from this room. Guide him home!

From here, we need to backtrack to the spiral staircase. From the two-Fiend room, head out, turn right, and go STRAIGHT to the cells area where the Lightning Fiend was. Work your way back to the spiral staircase from there. Head up it, past where the Dwellers were, and take the RIGHT path to continue. This place is seriously confusing, isn't it?

In this hallway, the door to the LEFT is locked, so go right. Kill the Fiend and Lantern in this room. There's a door here and an open doorway. We're going to make a circuit of this place before going into the middle, so open the door and continue. Kill the spiders here and grab the big chest. Then, head to the mist for a BIG spider – use a Fire Talisman if you have one. Kill it, and note that you can open the door on the LEFT to the middle area, but don't go through it yet.

Continue on to kill a Water Fiend, and then the Lantern and Water Spirits that are over here. There's a Wheelmonk in the area too, but with our water charge, it should fall quickly. Kill it off and search behind the bags in this room for a Hunter Kodama. Guide him home! Again, feel free to open the way to the center area, but keep going to the right, circling around this upper area.

You'll come to a room with a Dweller nearby and a Giant Dweller in the back. The mist here hides a Ninja Yokai, so be ready to fight him. There's some rubble blocking the center area. Once everything is dead, the only way forward is the outside path. You'll come to a staircase...
