Complete Nioh 3 Demon Hunting mission walkthrough, including Onryoki boss fight strategies and enemy locations.
Walkthrough
- 1Inside the house, kill the Samurai and Bandit, then open the [_BIG CHEST_].
- 2Head 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.
- 3Head back past the house and through the broken wall.
- 4To the right is a Dweller; take it out.
- 5Go 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.
- 6Proceed to the "Main Shrine". Two Dwellers are by the gate, one eating on a [_CORPSE_]. Mist guards the shrine; this mist is a Fiend.
- 7Take out the Fiend and loot the [_BIG CHEST_] in the shrine. Your mission item will be in ONE of these big chests.
- 8Hit the Shrine and move forward. The first area has several Spirits and a sword yokai.
- 9Hit 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.
- 10Move to the next area. Equip Water Talisman if desired.
- 11You will face a Sword Yokai and a Fire-Enchanted Fiend. Go after the Enchanted Fiend first, avoiding the Sword Yokai.
- 12The next wave consists of a Water Spirit and two Wheelmonks. Kill the water spirit first.
- 13Use the tree by the water to separate the Wheelmonks and focus on one at a time.
- 14Up ahead is a large area full of water, possibly with graves if playing online.
- 15BOSS ENCOUNTER: ONRYOKI
- 16Onryoki 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.
- 17Occasionally, Water Spirits will float in. Destroy them to power up your weapon.
- 18Once 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.
- 19Counter-attack safely, especially after his "Belly Flop" attack.
- 20When Onryoki is at about 33% health, unleash your Living Weapon to finish him off.
