Nioh 2

All Hidden Map Item locations

Search the indicated locations to find all 35 Hidden Map Items in Nioh 2 . You only need ten of them for the “Seasoned Traveler” trophy. Each region/episode has five of them (seven total regions). All you need to do is place the cursor on specific points on the world map. The cursor will then turn from blue to red and you can interact with the map. It shows you some lore about historical places and you get an item. There is also an in-game title for collecting them.

All Hot Spring locations

Search the indicated locations to find all 27 Hot Springs and get the “Spa Lover” trophy. None of them are missable. You can still get all Hot Springs after the story through level select. After you sit in the hot spring bath, the progress is immediately saved and you can quit the mission without reaching the next checkpoint. To view your totals, go to “Titles” – “Gameplay Records” – “Others” – “Hot Springs Discovered”. Each one counts for 3.7% (so just divide your total percentage by 3.7 to get how many you have). On the world map, you can also press X on a mission and then R1 to view how many collectibles (including Hot Springs) you found there. Note: The Hot Springs from main missions also appear again in side missions, but it is not necessary to get them again (when a side mission takes place in the same area as the main mission the hot spring will be found in the same place). You only need to find each unique Hot Springs once. The video below shows them in the order of first appearance.

All Kodama locations

Search the indicated locations to find all 150 Kodamas in Nioh 2 . Find all of them to get the “Kodama Leader” trophy. None of the Kodamas are missable, as you can collect them after the story using level select. If you have an accessory with the “Kodama Sensor” ability, they will also be displayed on the radar. Every five Kodama give you one extra Elixir for the respective region on respawn, and each region has 25 Kodama — so you can get up to five extra Elixirs for each respawn. Thus, instead of three Elixirs for healing, you can start with eight Elixirs when you respawn. This makes the game easier — so they are worth getting. The Kodama collectibles are saved instantly when you interact with them. Thus, you can quit the mission immediately since there is no need to reach the next shrine, as the progress will still be saved. On the mission selection screen, it displays how many Kodama you found in the mission and how many are remaining.

Otakemaru boss fight and ending

Easy “Bold Wrangler” and “Grazer Eraser” trophies

In Mission 1: The Village Of Cursed Blossoms, the first large monster you encounter (looks like a big bull) is Gozuki. Kill him to get the “Bold Wrangler” trophy. Then, proceed to defeat the boss of this mission (Mezuki, boss with horse head) to get the “Grazer Eraser” trophy because you have defeated both Gozuki and Mezuki in the same mission.

Easy “Devout Believer” trophy

This takes place in Mission 3: The Viper’s Sanctum. In this mission, you can find three Snake Statues. You could destroy them to get rid of the poison in the area, which also drains the poison pools in the boss area. With the poison pools gone from the boss battle, it makes the fight easier. However, to get the “Devout Believer” trophy, you must do it the hard way. This can be pretty challenging on the first playthrough of the mission. It is recommended to ignore this trophy until you have completed the game and reached Level 100+. Then, replay the mission and proceed straight for the boss without destroying the Snake Statues. Since you are greatly over-leveled, you will be able to quickly defeat the boss despite the poison. If you decide to try it during the first playthrough, make sure to buy the “Medicine: Anti-toxin Pill II” Ninja skill and equip as many of them as you can carry. This cures the poison effect. Also, equip the “Rejuvenation Talisman” Magic skill to heal yourself over time. As long as you stay out of the three poison pools in the boss fight, it will not be too bad. Attack the boss when it slithers past you and when it summons its snake arms through the ground. Try to destroy both its snake arms before it goes into Yokai Realm mode.

Easy “Dungball Roller” trophy

Ryunojo the Dung Lover is found in Mission 9: Bird In A Cage. After the second shrine, proceed left into a cave with poison pools. Ryunojo is at the end of the cave, after climbing up a ladder. Give him 30 Dungballs to get the “Dungball Roller” trophy (Noble Dungballs count as multiple normal Dungballs). You can farm Dungballs from killing Tesso enemies (poison farting monks). You should get one Dung Ball every 5 Tessos on average. You also find plenty of Dungballs and Noble Dungballs from corpses (yellow item pick-ups) in this mission and throughout the rest of the game. When you are done with the story, return to this mission. If you still do not have 30 Dungballs by that point, keep killing Tesso until you have 30 Dungballs.

Easy “Feather Buster” trophy

During Mission 7: A Way Out (third region), there will be two areas with searchlights. Simply let the searchlights detect you, then destroy the big red orb that spawns. Destroying the red orb makes the searchlights go away. You will get the “Feather Buster” trophy immediately after destroying the second one.

Easy “Peal Of Ten Thousand Bells” trophy

Search the indicated locations in Mission 13: Ruin Draws Near (fifth region) to find all six big bells and get the “Peal Of Ten Thousand Bells” trophy. To be safe that it counts, hit each of them three times with a high-stance Triangle attack until they fall off. The bells can be found in the following locations:

    1. In the first Dark Realm.

    2. In the second Dark Realm.

    3. From second Dark Realm, backtrack just a few steps and take the side path leading to the basement of a building. One bell is in the first room of the basement.

    4. Another bell is located in the room connected to the last bell.

    5. In the Dark Realm after the third shrine, same floor where the Shrine is.

    6. In the Dark Realm after the third Shrine, ground floor.

Easy “Schemer” trophy

This takes place in Mission 10: Pervading Waters (fourth region) against the second boss of the chapter. It is a huge spider-like Yokai monster called Gyuki. This takes place after defeating the Saika Magoichi boss in the same mission. As soon as the fight against Gyuki begins, stand at the dam wall where you dropped down to the boss fight. Just stand there holding L1 to block and wait for Gyuki to attack you. He will hit the damn and you will get the “Schemer” trophy.

Easy “Sudama Swapper” trophy

Sudama are purple-colored Kudama –- a small creature found at fixed positions throughout many missions. The first place to encounter a Sudama is in Mission 2: The Beast Born Of Smoke And Flames. Immediately after passing through this mission’s first corrupted Yokai Realm (a burning village), you will go across a bridge and there are two wooden houses on the right. Inside the second wooden house is a ladder leading underground. Climb down to find the Sudama. To exchange gifts, simply drop an item from your inventory that you do not need, like any low quality weapon. He will drop you a bunch of items in exchange and you will get the “Sudama Swapper” trophy. If you talk to him, he will not do anything, as you have to drop the item from your inventory close to him and he will pick it up automatically.
