A comprehensive walkthrough for Part 23 in Nioh 3, detailing enemy encounters, item locations, shortcuts, and strategies to overcome all challenges and find hidden secrets.
Walkthrough
- 1From the start, defeat the Dweller near the stone against the left wall.
- 2Head back and take the right path (right of the ramp to the machine). Defeat the Dweller near the corpse.
- 3Enter the area in front of the machine, noting the ramp to the right that leads to the level entrance (no need to go back there). Deal with the Dweller and corpse to the left.
- 4Return to the poison rock area, grab the corpse on the right, and ignore the right path for now.
- 5In the back, find a chest behind some boxes and a corpse against the wall.
- 6To the left, find a ladder. Avoid going left as it leads to a previously visited area. Go right, defeat the Fiend, and follow the path to find a Dweller (can be knocked off), a corpse, and a Healer Kodama. Send the Kodama home.
- 7Before dropping down, return to where the Yokai Mist was. Look down for a hard-to-reach lower platform. Aim for the corner hole to land on it. Find a Hot Spring and a chest here. Drop to a roof for a Swordsman Kodama, then drop down below.
- 8Down here, find a corpse behind you and another in front. The path to the right leads back to the poison rock area. Take the left path to a new area.
- 9In the new poison mist area, climb the ladder to the right. At the top, defeat the Yokai and the Dweller throwing fire bombs. Stick to the right wall to find a door to unlock. Note a platform below.
- 10Head down the walkways, noting a ladder to the left. Knock it down but don't descend. To the right on the ledge, destroy boxes to make a Healer Kodama reappear. Send him home. Loot the corpse (beware of bats) and enter the tunnel they came from to find a chest on the left.
- 11Head back and follow the path, dropping off when necessary. Down here, kill the Skeleton Archer on the left. Fight the Wheelmonk near the Air Machine, drawing him back to a wider area.
- 12From the machine, locate the poison rock straight ahead. Turn it on, go down, and destroy the rock and any wandering Yokai.
- 13From the poison stone, head forward to the right into a dead-end tunnel for a corpse.
- 14Head out and straight ahead to find another tunnel in the opposite rock wall (ignore for now). Go left to find a locked door and an Oracle Kodama in the nook to its left.
- 15Head UP the ladder kicked down earlier and back to where the door was opened. Drop to the lower platform (aim for the boxes) to find a Warrior Kodama. Send him home. Drop down again and take the nearby tunnel. To 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. Drop down and open the locked door.
- 16Enter a room with a corpse against the wall and a Kodama Shrine. Use it, then continue on to another poison area. Kill the Wheelmonk on the walkways before proceeding.
- 17Locate the Air Machine below. Head past the warped bridge. To the left, the bridge will break. Go right and around the corner. Note a drop to the right, get the corpse, then go back and drop down to the Air Machine. Use it immediately.
- 18Follow the left platform to a corpse, then drop down. Defeat the Dweller and wandering Yokai. Destroy the nearby poison rock. Grab the corpse to the left. Run back to the ladder by the Air Machine and climb back up.
- 19Use the Air Machine again. Climb UP and go right. Drop off the right platform and go right to kill a Dweller and loot a corpse. Go down the tunnel to find a Warrior Kodama. Send him home and drop down. Defeat the Yokai and the poison stone, along with a Dweller by the stone.
- 20In the area by the last poison stone, find two corpses. One is near a hole. Check the left cubby for another corpse. Go down the path, ignoring the ladder for now. Get the fourth corpse. Just past the wood on the left, find a Swordsman Kodama. Send him home. Straight ahead connects back to the first poison stone area; find another corpse and a Yokai up here.
- 21Head back to the ladder and go up.
