Complete walkthrough for the Main Mission 'The Hidden Monsters of Okehazama' in Nioh 2. Find all Kodama, defeat bosses like Yamanba and Enki, and navigate the dark realms.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Outer Area: Find the first shrine. Speak to the man with the spear and use the 'bring it on' emote to proceed. Follow the path, entering a cave after a destroyed bridge. Inside, defeat 3 Gaki and find a small chest in a side cavern.
  2. 2
    Head to the next room, defeat the Enki and Gaki (shoot the Gaki first). Find the first Kodama in a corner behind a wood barrier.
  3. 3
    Return to the first room and take the left cave. Defeat the Enki. At a fork, destroy boxes to find the second Kodama.
  4. 4
    Take the other path, defeat the Yamanba. Exit left, turn right for a Sudama, then left for a ladder shortcut to the first shrine.
  5. 5
    Return to the Yamanba's location and take the remaining cave. You'll be ambushed by another Yamanba outside. Defeat it, enter its cave, break boxes, and defeat a Scrampuss.
  6. 6
    Advance to a bridge before a dark realm. You'll see a fork: one path into the dark realm, one up a hill. Both lead to the second shrine; explore both for items and ease.
  7. 7
    Dark Realm Town: Enter the village, defeat a Yamanba and Gaki. At a well, hit it to spawn a Kappa; defeat it. Behind barrels opposite the well, find the third Kodama. Defeat the Enki causing the dark realm. Open a chest at the start of town, climb a ladder, clear remaining Yokai, and reach the second shrine.
  8. 8
    Forest Area: Enter the forest, fight Gaki and Nure-onna. Knock down a tree for a shortcut. Find the fourth Kodama in a small corner opposite some statues. Reach the second shrine.
  9. 9
    Inner Area: Follow the path, defeat the Kurasu Tengu. Enter a cave. To the right of a Yamanba, go right at a fork. Defeat a Large Gaki and open the chest (may contain a Mujina).
  10. 10
    Return to the previous fork (with paper streams). Take the path with wooden posts and paper streams. Fight 2 Nure-onna and a Gaki. The fifth Kodama is in a cave to the left. A cave to the right leads back to the first cavern of the mission.
  11. 11
    Advance through the remaining cave, fighting a sub-boss Yamanba. In a cavern with a central pillar, defeat the Nure-onna on the ceiling.
  12. 12
    Follow the path to a dark realm with a One-Eyed Oni, Blue Oni Bi, and Gaki. Defeating the One-Eyed Oni removes the dark realm. Behind its building is the third shrine.
  13. 13
    Near the Kodama shrine, find the sixth Kodama in some grass.
  14. 14
    From the shrine, take the leftmost path outside to find human soldiers. This path loops back, so only clear nearby soldiers. Examine a wall with eyeballs to find a Nuri-kabe; use the whistle emote or kill it. Behind it is a hotspring.
  15. 15
    Head back to the shrine. Take the path next to the one leading to the One-Eyed Oni (not the red torii gate path). This leads to the second Sudama and a burning tree shortcut to the first shrine.
  16. 16
    Finally, go through the cave with the red Torii gate. Upon exiting, human soldiers appear. Lightning strikes will follow you; watch for ground sparks. This can stun enemies. Ahead is a white tent; do not enter yet.
Tips
  • Kodama must be recollected in each new region to access blessings and elixir bonuses.
  • Shoot the Gaki on the scaffolding in the head before engaging the Enki.
  • Destroy boxes to reveal hidden paths and Kodama.
  • Use the 'bring it on' emote on the man with the spear to progress.
  • Be cautious of falling off ledges, especially when fighting the second Yamanba outside its cave.
  • Exploring both paths after the bridge before the dark realm is recommended for items and ease.
  • The lightning strikes near the end can be used to stun enemies.
  • The Nuri-kabe requires the whistle emote, not 'Nice!'.
  • Specific rewards are not detailed in the source text but typically include Amrita, equipment, and crafting materials upon mission completion.
