Finding out where to use the Dirty Key in Nioh 3 is surprisingly tough, though perhaps not as tough as getting it in the first place. Early on in the game, you’ll come to a ruined village, and inside you’ll find a fearsome Yamainu enemy. Though you can run straight past, if you decide to…
Puzzling out how to change appearance in Nioh 3 is likely one of the first things you’ll wonder how to do, especially if, in typical Soulslike fashion, you either regret the monstrosity you’ve created, or they somehow don’t look anything like they did in the character creator.

Unlike many other Souls/Sekiro-likes, you can respec whenever you want in Nioh 3, and that applies to both stats, which you’ll purchase with Amrita, and skills, which you acquire by finding Samurai and Ninja Locks. Both…
The Bloodedge Demon is the most unique boss in Nioh 3, since this yokai scales based on how many revenants you’ve killed—those red spirits of other players that you can summon for a duel. If you’ve been very liberal with your friendly summons (the blue ones), then you’ve likely had to kill a lot of…
