NIOH directory.
Here we will go over all of the Nioh Tokai Region Missions. Tokai region is the fourth main region and contains 3 main missions and 12 sub missions for you to complete. There are a lot of missions to complete in NIOH. The missions are broken down into categories throughout the game, which are main missions, sub missions, twilight missions and the dojo 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 Way of the Samurai which will help and if you need any other Nioh missions, check out the Samurai of Legend trophy guide for how to complete every mission in the game. I recommend going through the game, completing The Queen’s Eyes (final mission) then levelling up on Way of the Strong then coming back to mop up any remaining / harder / twilight missions you have outstanding on Way of the Samurai. I will give you a brief guide on how to get through every mission in the Tokai region as well as a Let’s Play video for every mission showing you what you need to do to complete that given mission. The 15 Tokai Region missions are as follows:
- The Iga Escape.
- Memories of Death-lilies.
- The Defiled Castle.
- The Three Souls.
- Of Withered Grass and Yokai.
- A Fiercer Flame.
- The Trail of the Master.
- The Seven Good Tidings.
- The Okehazama Incident.
- The Weight of the World.
- The Rising Shadows.
- The Giant Frog Brawl.
- The Champion of the East.
- The Two Masters.
- Marobashi.
The Iga Escape
Main Mission, level 70.
Navigate through the Castle using the revolving doors (look for semicircle scratch marks on the floor), once pass the spiders, head to the back room and hit the back wall to flip the level. From here head through to the Giant Toad boss, this guy can be a challenge given his reach, combos and sporadic movements. Utilise fire / lightning to have an easier time of it. Defeat him to complete the mission.
Memories Of Death-Lillies
Main Mission, level 87.
You will need to go through the Castles’ sewers first, once out in the Courtyard take on and defeat, Honda Tadakatsu (smash the 3 purple amrita clusters for an instant win). From here, go up through the castle and take on Okatsu, who is a very powerful Ninja, she’s lightning fast and has a lot of ranged attacks. Use a lightning based living weapon to slow her down enough where you can finish her off.
The Defiled Castle
Main Mission, level 87.
You will need to go through the Castles’ sewers first, once out in the Courtyard take on and defeat, Honda Tadakatsu (smash the 3 purple amrita clusters for an instant win). From here, go up through the castle and take on Okatsu, who is a very powerful Ninja, she’s lightning fast and has a lot of ranged attacks. Use a lightning based living weapon to slow her down enough where you can finish her off.
The Three Souls
Sub Mission, level 65.
Run through the area then take down the 3 One-eyed Imps preferably before they turn into One-eyed Oni yokai. Either way, drop all 3 of them to complete the mission.
Of Withered Grass And Yokai
Sub Mission, level 71.
Kill all the yokai that appear to complete mission, there a 3 fire Onyudos at the end so bring a water based living weapon to have an easier time of it. Defeat them all to complete the mission.
A Fiercer Flame
Sub Mission, level 73.
Proceed through the mission taking care of the Spiders that will drop down on you from above, kill the Yoki in the final room to complete the mission.
The Trail Of The Master
Sub Mission, level 79.
Make your way through the area killing the yokai collecting the wood tiles as you go. In the final room, kill everyone that appears where you can then head through and rescue Muramasa completing the mission. Completing this mission unlocks Legendary Swordsmith.
The Seven Good Tidings
Sub Mission, level 80.
You will need to collect 7 Kodama throughout the mission, these are a lot easier to find than the regular Kodama as they are all found on the mini-map so go to their locations, defeat the surrounding enemies and collect the Kodama. If you are at the Kodamas’ location on the minimap but can’t find it then it’s either above or below you so go up / down and around to find them. The Kodama in this mission, do not count towards the usual 25 Kodama you will need to find in the Tokai Region (See the Kodama Leader Trophy Guide for all 150 Kodama required). Collect all 7 Kodama to complete the mission.
The Okehazama Incident
Sub Mission, level 84.
This can be a nasty mission if you’re not prepared for it. You will have a good amount of yokai to deal with and 3 powerful NPCs who have a lot of Ki, health and power. Ensure you take out the ranged enemies to have an easier time through the areas. Defeat everyone here to complete the mission.
The Weight Of The World
Sub Mission, level 87.
(According to the Nioh wiki click here for the link).
You will need to watch the entire cutscene in order to unlock the A Question Of Intentions Trophy. The, The Weight of the World mission is a non repeatable cutscene. There’s no actual mission to complete here.
The Rising Shadows
Sub Mission, level 88.
There are a lot of Mages, Ninja and Yoki enemies to contend with here, make your way through them all to the final room. Kill the Mages and Ninja in this room to complete the mission.
The Giant Frog Brawl
Sub Mission, level 91.
You have a one-on-one fight against a suped-up version of the Giant Toad, make good use of buffs / debuffs and bring a fire living weapon. Defeat him to complete the mission.
The Champion Of The East
Sub Mission, level 93.
Defeat Honda Tadakatsu to complete the mission. As he uses a spear, go in with a fast weapon like the Kusarigama / Dual Swords.
The Two Masters
Sub Mission, level 145.
A brutal end game mission that sees you face off against Hozoin Inei a master swordsman and Yagyu Sekishusai a master spearman. There’s no way around it, this is one of the toughest missions in the game! Bring as many buffs / debuffs as you can, especially Sloth as well as a lightning based living weapon to help slow them down. Focus on Yagyu first, defeat him then work down Hozoins’ health. Defeat them both to complete the mission. Good luck!
Marobashi
Sub Mission, level 155.
This is the hardest (not the longest) but the hardest mission in the base game. You need to run through every master in the game with no way shrines to replenish your elixirs / ninjitsu / onmyo so conserving them is a must. The mission has a recommended level of 155, I recommend you go above this a good 30 times to be able to handle them all effectively. Bring a lightning living weapon and have plenty of large spirit stones equipped to your shortcuts. Only heal when you need to and go through them one by one. Also remember to block, it sounds obvious but it’s easily forgotten. The 6 masters you will face off against are:
- Marume Nagayoshi: Sword master.
- Ashikaga Yoshiteru: Dual Sword master.
- Hozoin Inei: Spear master.
- Sakata Kintoki: Axe master.
- Shisinen Kosen: Kusarigama master.
- Yagyu Sekishusai: Sword master (stronger and faster than Marume Nagayoshi).
Defeat them all to complete the mission.
That’s how to complete all 15 missions in the Tokai region. If you need to complete any other missions in Nioh, feel free to check out the Samurai of Legend trophy guide.
That’s how to complete all of the Nioh Tokai Region Missions in Nioh. I hope the guide helped you through all of them and figure out what it is you need to do.
