    How to Find Every Heian Kodama in Nioh 3: Completing and Solving

    Since the original game, Kodama have been the mascots of Nioh. They return in Nioh 3, and they’re more prominent than ever.

    You’ll notice this especially when you reach the game’s second main time period, Heian. There, you’ll find nearly as many Kodama to discover as in the Warring States period.

    What Kodama Are and How to Find Them

    Before exploring Heian Kodama, here’s a quick reminder: Kodama are friendly spirits in Nioh 3. Collecting them grants you Kodama Merit, which can be used to improve certain blessings that boost specific stats.

    Make sure to listen for their distinctive squeaking sound, which is a bubbly, high-pitched noise. You’ll recognize it when you hear it.

    The blessings they give are minor at first, but they stack over time and can help you get through some of the tougher parts of the game. Since Heian increases difficulty compared to the Warring States period, it’s worth hunting down all Kodama before diving into story missions. Let’s get into the details.

    Recommended Order

    We’ll go through the locations in order based on recommended levels, matching the natural progression of your playthrough.

    Every Kamo Village Kodama

    Near the Kamo Village Shrine The first Kodama here is just before the shrine. After passing it, go left and you’ll spot the Kodama sitting next to a tree. This one’s easy to find early on.
    Inside Kamo Village The second Kodama is inside the village, a bit past the shrine. Head left into the village and find a hut with nothing inside. The Kodama is outside, sitting in the snow on the left side. Second Kamo Kodama

    Every Funaokayama Kodama

    Location Description Image
    West side of the map The only Kodama here is near the Funaokayama Shrine. From there, turn right, go forward, then stay on the right as you walk through the forest and up the hill to reach a temple on the right. The Kodama sits beside a chest in front of the temple, but you’ll need to clear the Enemy Base first. Funaokayama Kodama

    Every Sagano Kodama

    Horiniji Temple Bridge The first Kodama here is early in the area, under the temple bridge. Drop onto the lower level, and the Kodama hides in a corner where a yokai with a hammer appears. Sagano Kodama 1

    Near Matsuo-taisha Shrine The next two Kodama locations are near this shrine. The first is just below the Approach Shrine, hiding in a nook after jumping on a rock. The second is at the approach, past an area with Yokai shooting at you; you’ll need to revisit after clearing it. Sagano Kodama 3 and Sagano Kodama 4
    Well guarding a Yokai The final Sagano Kodama is near a well, just around the corner from the third Kodama. Head toward the well and hit it to reveal the Kodama. Sagano Kodama 5

    Where To Follow Red Markers in the Buried City in Arc Raiders

    In Arc Raiders, very few survivors remain outside of Speranza. Every survivor you find helps increase humanity’s numbers against the machines. Protecting humanity is always the main goal, so it’s important to follow leads when new raiders are spotted.

    Apollo will contact you to find a family interested in settling in Speranza. You’ll need to search the Buried City for them. The quest is tough because the guidelines aren’t marked on your map, but we’ll help you locate the target and return safely. Here’s what you should know.

    Where to Find the Abandoned Highway Outpost

    Go to the Buried City and aim for the broken highway on the far west side of the map, a few clicks south. The camp is set up on the remains of the highway, so use a zipline or a grappling hook to get there quickly. Once on the highway, follow it all the way to the outpost.

    While the family is no longer there, you should search the backpack on the ground for clues. Inside, look for a red marker—similar to the ones Tian Wen points out in her quests. These red ribbons are your next clues.

    How to Follow the Red Markers

    The markers are placed on posts and cars along the highway. Follow them carefully to stay on the trail. Continue along the entire highway until you reach the final break, where it dips into the sands of the buried residences. From here, the trail gets harder to follow.

    At the end of the broken highway, head north following the red markers into the heart of the buried residences. After climbing the sand mound, turn southeast to complete your journey.

    How to Complete “A Warm Place to Rest”

    In the ruins of the buried residences, you’ll find a shallow grave. Examine it to finish the mission and then extract quickly. The nearby Eastern Metro Station is a good escape route if it’s still open. Once back in Speranza, talk to Apollo about what you discovered.

    While the family is gone, searching the grave will give you clues. After examining it, you’ll find a recovered item, and your goal is to extract swiftly. The grave area provides a nearby escape route, making it easier to return promptly.

    More Survivors and Rewards

    It’s unfortunate that the family didn’t survive, but more survivors are out there. As a reward for your efforts, Apollo will give you three noisemakers, five blue light sticks, a rosary, and a new cosmetic color. Even if the mission was tough, these rewards help keep you going.
