Here we will go over all of the Nioh 2 Dawn Region Missions. Dawn region is the fourth main region in the game and is where you will see a noticeable spike in difficulty. In total, there are 3 main missions and 9 sub missions you will need to complete in the Dawn Region. If you need any other Nioh 2 missions then check out the Nioh 2 Samurai of Legend trophy guide which will help you through every single mission in Nioh 2. You have a lot of missions to complete throughout Nioh 2, in total there are 20 Main Missions, 53 Sub Missions, 25 Dojo Missions and 9 Twilight Missions.
The Twilight missions which are much harder versions of some standard missions in the game and only appear sporadically at the rate of 2 every 24 hours (real time). All of these missions can be completed on Dream of the Samurai which will help given the difficulty of the game, if you’re struggling to complete a mission, level yourself up a few times then come back for another go.
If you have already played Nioh, you will know what to expect here, if not then get ready for a tough slog through the missions in game which vary in difficulty requiring you to do anything from sneak through a village as you work towards taking down a single target or fight through enemy filled arenas in search of back to back boss fights. Either way, we’re here to help you through the games missions as best as we can with a brief description on how to complete every mission in the region. The 12 missions you need to complete in the Dawn Region are:
Pervading Waters
Main Mission, level 75.
Head through the mission to the Saika Magoichi boss fight, a flying enemy that can pepper you with bombs and rifle rounds, lightning helps out a lot in this fight, as will your usual buffs / debuffs. Take Saika down to receive the Founder’s Hall Gate Key. Use the Key on the doors to the right of the third shrine then head down the slope to fight Gyuki. Once Gyuki has been defeated, the mission will complete.
The Frenzied Blaze
Main Mission, level 80.

Master of Three Evils
Sub Mission, level 80.
This is a very challenging fight against Matsunaga Hisahide, when the fight starts, he will 9/10 times use a yokai ability slamming a lit bomb down on you which can easily one shot you. Avoid these attacks throughout the fight at all costs, a well timed burst counter will send him flying backwards opening up him up for some heavy damage, combine that attack with the amount of bombs he will throw about in the mission and it will be a good idea to level yourself up considerably before taking him on.
