Complete Nioh 3 Demon Hunting mission walkthrough, including Onryoki boss fight strategies and enemy locations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Inside the house, kill the Samurai and Bandit, then open the [_BIG CHEST_].
  2. 2
    Head outside near the well for an item, but be aware of a Ninja. A Bandit patrols beyond that, and a [_CORPSE_] is down the steps in the corner.
  3. 3
    Head back past the house and through the broken wall.
  4. 4
    To the right is a Dweller; take it out.
  5. 5
    Go back to the broken wall. A Samurai and Ninja are in this area, with an Archer to the right. A Bandit is behind the house. Loot the [_BIG CHEST_] they are guarding.
  6. 6
    Proceed to the "Main Shrine". Two Dwellers are by the gate, one eating on a [_CORPSE_]. Mist guards the shrine; this mist is a Fiend.
  7. 7
    Take out the Fiend and loot the [_BIG CHEST_] in the shrine. Your mission item will be in ONE of these big chests.
  8. 8
    Hit the Shrine and move forward. The first area has several Spirits and a sword yokai.
  9. 9
    Hit the spirits first, then charge your weapon. A Ninja yokai will join the fight. Use the trees for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) and to counterattack.
  10. 10
    Move to the next area. Equip Water Talisman if desired.
  11. 11
    You will face a Sword Yokai and a Fire-Enchanted Fiend. Go after the Enchanted Fiend first, avoiding the Sword Yokai.
  12. 12
    The next wave consists of a Water Spirit and two Wheelmonks. Kill the water spirit first.
  13. 13
    Use the tree by the water to separate the Wheelmonks and focus on one at a time.
  14. 14
    Up ahead is a large area full of water, possibly with graves if playing online.
  15. 15
    BOSS ENCOUNTER: ONRYOKI
  16. 16
    Onryoki has two forms. The first form is when he is chained up. Be mindful of his "Chain Twirl" attack when you get close, which has a 360-degree radius. His "Chain Slam" can be dodged by reacting to his arms.
  17. 17
    Occasionally, Water Spirits will float in. Destroy them to power up your weapon.
  18. 18
    Once enough damage is done, the chains come off. This second form has more combo potential and spawns Yokai Realm mist frequently. Purify the mist when possible.
  19. 19
    Counter-attack safely, especially after his "Belly Flop" attack.
  20. 20
    When Onryoki is at about 33% health, unleash your Living Weapon to finish him off.
Tips
  • Save all magic and replenishing items for the final boss fight.
  • Use the trees in the area for easy cover and to counterattack the Ninja yokai.
