Here is the third and final DLC pack that is coming to Nioh 2 and what better way to end an experience like this but to crank the challenges up until the crank breaks!.
The First Samurai is by far the most challenging DLC across Nioh 2 and will see you pitted against a series of new bosses that are incredibly fast and lethal as well as a wide number of new areas with new ancient yokai to battle.
Here is the complete The First Samurai DLC trophy guide to try and help you through this harrowing experience as smoothly as possible.
All Things Begin
Completed “Dawn of the Demon”.
You will need to complete the mission, Dawn of the Demon, this can be done on any difficulty.
Bring a serious amount of buffing Onmyo / Ninjitsu with you as the boss(es) in this level hit like a truck.
Defeat the final boss in the mission to complete it, unlocking your Trophy.
A Dream of Peace
Completed “A Distant Dream”.
Bit of a strange one this as my trophy unlocked once I obtained the Aun Key, however, to complete the mission you will need to defeat a very powerful, fast, combo heavy boss where timing is crucial with a burst counter.
The second you see the red aura surround the boss you need to hold R2+Circle to even stand a chance at performing a burst counter.
Miss the timing on it and you’ll be open to a very nasty combo that can’t (for me anyway) be broken.
Make good use of your buffs / debuffs with the boss and you should come through it the other side in one piece.
The Original Samurai
Completed all missions in “The First Samurai”.

The Original Demon
Completed all missions in “The First Samurai” on Dream of the Demon.
There are 2 main and 9 side missions to complete in the, The First Samurai DLC and to do these on DOTD will take a serious amount of skill, max level gear and patience.
You can die as many times as you need to learn the levels and the enemy layout. The hardest part here is going to be dealing with the bosses as they are next level.
As always with Nioh, the more you struggle, the more you need to level both yourself and your gear up. Practice is essential for standing a chance here, learn the missions, learn the enemy placement then go in accordingly.
Ranged attacks should never be over looked.
Keep a good supply of spirit stones equipped on a shortcut to replenish your Yokai Shift which can be invaluable when using a damaging element against the yokai.
Complete all 11 missions to unlock your Trophy.
Good luck!!
Spirit Guide
Collected all Kodama in “The First Samurai”.

Cleansing Caskmaster
Used a cask of holy water in “Dawn of the Demon” to damage an enemy’s Ki.
Make your way through the first part of the level and defeat Otakemaru, after this you will be able to access the second part of the level.
Dotted around the level are casks of holy water littered about the area. In order to unlock this trophy you simply need to smash an urn when an enemy is very close to it, considering there are plenty of Bakegani around here that will charge at you, they’re going to be your best bet for this.
Lure an enemy in close, smash the urn which will damage their Ki, unlocking your Trophy.
Scent of Danger
Completed “The Alluring Ancient”.
Click the link to go to the complete Scent Of Danger Trophy Guide.
Spa Connoisseur
Bathed in every hot spring found in “The First Samurai”.
There are 5 Hot Springs in the, The First Samurai DLC, to use a hot spring, as always make sure there are no enemies around then hold Circle once in the water to relax for a few seconds.
Check out the complete Spa Connoisseur trophy guide for the hot springs locations.
A Friend Indeed
Saved all the Mujina in “A Distant Dream”.
There are 3 Mujina to “save” in the A Distant Dream main mission. You will need to find / rescue the Mujina then speak with them where one will join you helping you in battle.
Check out the complete A Friend Indeed trophy guide for how to find and save every Mujina required.
The Demons’ Den
Defeated the four demons in “A Distant Dream”.
You should get this naturally as you make your way through the mission, 2 Demons are found as you make your way through the first half of the mission.
The other 2 hold 1/2 of the Aun Key required to proceed through to the end of the mission.
Defeat all 4 Demons’ to unlock your Trophy.
Way of the Vanquisher
Completed “Against All Comers” on Dream of the Demon or higher.
Against All Comers is a level 374 sub mission that sees you face off against a series of increasingly difficult human and yokai enemies, mini bosses, bosses and everything else in between and above.
Essentially, the name of the mission says it all. You will have a serious amount of work to get halfway through this mission, never mind all the way through.
I can’t recommend highly enough the importance of saving your buffs / debuffs until the very end of the battle where you will face off against a series of bosses including 2 Otekamaru bosses back to back then a very suped up William (the protagonist from Nioh).
You are afforded brief moments of respite in this mission to allow you to catch a minute restocking your elixirs from any that may have dropped whenever a Sudama appears.
When you’re ready to proceed through the next few waves of enemies, drop an item for the Sudama to continue.
Once you have completed the Against All Comers mission on Way of the Demon, your Trophy will unlock.
Good luck!
Honoring the Dead
Collected all of Kukai’s brushes in “Words of Respite”.
There are 4 Grand Master’s Brushes to collect in the Words of Respite side mission which unlocks once you have completed the first main mission, Dawn of the Demon.
Check out the complete Honoring The Dead trophy guide for exactly where to find all 4 Grand Master’s Brushes.
The Path We’ve Taken
Obtained the aid of Tokichiro, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, and Minamoto no Yorimitsu from a Benevolent Grave in “A Familiar Glow”.
In order to unlock the A Familiar Glow side mission, you will firstly need to save all 3 Mujina (see A Friend Indeed for information on this) in the A Distant Dream main mission then speak with the Mujina in The Interim.
This will unlock the A Spirit’s Return, complete this side mission to unlock the A Familiar Glow side mission.
In order to gain the help of Tokichiro, Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Minamoto no Yorimitsu, you will need to use their benevolent graves.
That’s the Nioh 2 DLC Pack 3 The First Samurai Trophy Guide complete I hope it helps you through the pack.
