Navigate the treacherous Iwami Silver Mine in Nioh 3. Learn to handle poison, defeat Dwellers, and find hidden treasures with this expert walkthrough.
Alright, so we've just finished up that last mission and got ourselves the Raiken Guardian Spirit. That's a pretty sweet pickup, and it means we've unlocked a bunch of new stuff, including a couple of training missions and a new Twilight Mission. But the one we're jumping into now is a Sub-Mission called 'A Request from Ginchiyo'.
This one takes us to the Iwami-Ginzan Silver Mine. The intro dialogue sets the scene: this place is massive, a huge source of silver, and because of that, everyone wants a piece of it. The Mohri clan has been digging deep, and our objective is to figure out what's going on and get Kikkawa Hiroie's help. Just a heads-up, this mission is absolutely loaded with poison, so make sure you've got some antidotes ready on your shortcut bar. Trust me, you'll be thankful you did.

We start in a room with some junk. Smash it all up, grab the chest to your right, and then hit the shrine. You'll see two paths: one straight ahead and one to the right. Let's take the path to the right first.

Look down and you'll spot a poison cloud. Don't go over the bridge to your left – it's a trap and will break! Instead, head right to find a corpse with some loot. Then, take out the Dweller hiding in the cubby to your right. Follow the path a bit further for another corpse, and then head to the machine on the left. There's another corpse there, along with a Dweller. Deal with him, and then look down the path ahead – you'll see a group of four Dwellers. Take them all out.

Now, this next part is key to clearing out the poison in this area. Find the machine with a crank and turn it. This will suck up the poison, but only for a limited time, so be quick! Drop down and take out the Dweller you see below. Then, look for a glowing green rock near the center of the room. Destroy this rock, and it'll stop the poison from spewing out. Once that's done, you can safely grab the corpse nearby and the one under the rickety bridge. To the left of that bridge, you'll find another corpse with a Dweller lurking nearby. If you head back to where the poison rock was, you'll also find some baskets. Smash those baskets – they're hiding an Oracle Kodama! Guide it back to the shrine.

With the Kodama safe, turn around and head down the tunnel you just found. Kill the Dweller inside, and then look straight back for a big chest. Loot it up! Now, go left and climb the ladder. Up here, you can go right to find another Dweller and a corpse, but take note of the locked door. For now, turn around and continue on. You'll see a Dweller below you – try to get a headshot to take him out cleanly, otherwise, he might become a nuisance later. Keep going and you can take out another Dweller up ahead. Again, a headshot is recommended.

Head back to the ladder and drop down. You'll find another air machine here. Use it, and then immediately head RIGHT, down the ramp. Grab the corpse you see on the way down, and deal with any Yokai wandering around. Keep heading in a bit, and you'll see the poison...
