NIOH 2 directory.
Here is the Nioh 2 Kodama Leader Trophy Guide. In total, there are 150 Kodama to collect as you make your way through the game, this can be done on any difficulty, however, I recommend Dream of the Samurai to have an easier time of it. All you need to do to collect a Kodama is first, ensure you are not in a fight anywhere near the Kodamas’ location as the Kodama will hide in its hat, once the battle is over, you can then collect the Kodama.
Secondly, don’t attack the Kodama as they, again, will hide in their hat and be unable to be collected for a few seconds. Hold Circle when facing the Kodama to collect each one, please don’t confuse the Kodama with Sudama, the Sudama are purple and will not count towards the total amount of Kodama collected throughout the game. Each region has 25 Kodama and finding all of them in a given Region will allow you to access the maximum Kodama Blessing for that Region. The Kodama Blessings are:
- Oracle Blessing.
Increases the amount of Amrita acquired by up to 25%. - Samurai Blessing.
Increases the equipment drop rate by up to 5%. - Yamabushi Blessing.
Increases the Soul Core drop rate by up to 5%. - Healer Blessing.
Increases elixir drop rate by up to 25%. - Hunter Blessing.
Increases drop rate of materials by up to 25%.
