Deep Priest

Deep Priests are the partially undead spiritual and religious leaders of the Kuznetsov Conglomerate, continuously kept alive by barbaric cybernetics and ‘divine intervention’. They serve as the gateway for Kuznetsovians to communicate with The Deep One, the eldritch being they consider to be their God and saviour. A Deep Priest is created through horrific and secretive means known only to the church; most likely involving a handful of human sacrifices and a lot of genetic engineering and biotechnology. A Deep Priest's body, which has been modified, augmented and enhanced beyond natural limits, is mostly made up of some sort of synthetic compound material. In addition, the various parts of its body have been replaced with an array of strange and intricate machines that can be heard gently whirring from underneath the giant black robes; as an added precaution, all Deep Priests wear a series of small sensors embedded within their skin that can detect any kind of tampering with its cybernetic components.

It is assumed that Deep Priests have some form of precognition or premonition, enabling them to see into the future – luckily, they only seem to use these powers to stop ritual candles from falling over or to make sure the altar cloths are always pristine and wrinkle-free before someone sees. They are bound to their churches via an assortment of bizarre and complex collars, shackles and restraints. All Deep Priests vaguely retain the facial features of the person it was before its creation, but in most cases, this is just a superficial effect; deep down, they remain completely inhuman creatures.

Deep Priests feed on the devotion of the masses to The Deep One, enabling them to no longer need true sustenance such as food or water. They do not speak unless they are channeling the words of The Deep One or when conducting prayers; instead, they rely upon the small group of regular priests who assist them to conduct the services and rituals. These regular priests work alongside Deep Priests to oversee the church's activities, enforce the rules and regulations established by the higher echelons of the church hierarchy and generally ensure that everything is running smoothly and efficiently.

Current there is at least one Deep Priest contained within each Kuznetsovian megacity, with each having slightly varying roles than the other. For example, while the Deep Priest who presides over Artyom is primarily responsible for keeping the faith of the Kuznetsovians strong, the Deep Priest of Arstotzka is more concerned with maintaining public order and security over the prisoners. A number of Deep Priests have been designated as the representatives of the church in certain external territories, such as in the Conglomerate occupied space of the Ressurection Republic as well as in the Conglomerate embassy within New Athens.

The Mayor thought about it but in the end decided that his city was better off on it's own, where it could make its own laws.

The City was one of the biggest industrial centers on the Siberian Pacific coast and was home to a large port onced used by the Empire Of Japan to store it's northern fleet. After the Great War many of these ships were abandoned in the harbor, but they soon were found by the Siberian Wastelanders who managed to fix up one or two ships and used the rest as gun platforms.

DC Falls

Dear Mother ,They Dropped The Bomb .... they really did. Me and some of my friends were walking home from School today when we saw a Nazi Plane in the sky. Most of us thought it was just a recon plane that the Germans usually send but as it got closer we say that it was much bigger than a recon Plane. The air sirens sounded but most people ignored it as their were drills every few days and most people were sick of them. Me and my friends just kept walking but then I noticed that a single bomb was dropped. All I remember after that is The Massive mushroom cloud that melted my friend's eyes as he looked at it, every building I could see being destroyed and the school bus down the street flying 100 feet away. I woke up in the subway with about 20 other people all with burns and pieces of flesh falling off them. It has been about 4 days since then and id say that the Nazis won. After what they did to my home I don't know if I can accept that. Your Dearest Son, Felix.

D3-Shipbreaker

The TL8 Shipbreaker was an experimental mobile railgun system designed and built by The Ashtron Empire in 2089. Why was it built? Simply because it was possible and the lead designer wanted to drive something that was 70% gun.

The Gun was mounted on the back of a long-ass truck and it had to be powered by 2 satellite trucks carrying industrial generators. This meant that unless it was driving on a large flat empty road, it had to be parked in order to fire. Although the vehicle was completely impractical its cannon was the most powerful mobile gun on the planet at the time and it could tear through any large spaceship. Even aircraft carriers would not be safe from its sheer destructive power. (which is how it got its name) Only 17 Shipbreakers were ever made.
Aberrant Soldier

**Aberrant Soldier** is one of the enemies in *Nioh 2.*

## Character Directory

Soldiers that have come to harness the power of yokai by using Spirit Stones. It was once fairly common to hear the Japanese word for aberrant, "gedo," spoken in western Japan, often in reference to people possessed by demons that committed violent acts. It was rumored that these acts were the work of ghosts of animals or vengeful apparitions, and eventually the term encompassed any and all evil yokai that possessed people. Therein lies the origin of the Aberrant Soldier's name, as they carry various kinds of yokai within them.

The word "Gedo" also carries the general meaning of being lost or of one who has strayed from an established path. "Sado," the left path, also holds the same meaning, as there was an ancient belief that the right side was the true path whereas the left was the path of evil. That an Aberrant Soldier's yokai power resides in their left arm can surely not be a mere coincidence. Do not let your guard down when facing an Aberrant Soldier, even if they remain at a distance -- the shells fired by their left arm can prove deadly.

## Location

Aberrant Soldiers can be found in a wide variety of levels, especially in battlefields.

## Behavior

Aberrant Soldiers attack with their swords, but can also manifest spears and unleash explosive blasts from their left arm. They can guard with this arm, too. Some Aberrant Soldiers fire shells from afar.

The DLC introduces two new types of Aberrant Soldier: one with a Bakegani's arm that can fire water beams and bubbles, and one with a Kamaitachi arm that can fling wing blades and slash with a blade.

## Weak Spot & Tactics

Aberrant Soldier's weak point is its head. Its arm crystals can be broken to reduce its maximum Ki.

Though they use a variety of unusual attacks, Aberrant Soldiers are relatively fragile and their Ki can be depleted quickly. Don't underestimate them, though.

## Drops

* Aberrant Soldier Soul Core
* Aberrant Spirit Stone

## Dialogue

* Yokai Text: If all you wish is to die in battle... Well, let my meager light inspire you to achieve your dreams!

Enki

**Enki** is one of the enemies in *Nioh 2.*

## Character Directory

An Enki is a monkey that has been transformed into a yokai by Spirit Stones after a lifetime of cruelty and abuse by humans. This imposingly large and intelligent yokai has a single horn on its head that is said to be the source of its power. This horn also differentiates Enki from the other simian yokai known as Hihi, said to originate from monkeys that have lived an incredibly long life. Monkeys have long been considered mountain gods or messengers of the mountain gods in legends all over Japan. While these gods can bring blessings, they are also terrifying reminders of the indomitable might of the mountains that tower over mankind. The monkeys that live in these divine surroundings are both so alike and unlike humans that they might be the most familiar connection to the spirit world we have.

The famous collections of tales known as the Konjaku Monogatari and Uji Shui Monogatari (of the late Heian and Kamakura periods respectively) also contain stories of simian yokai and their antagonistic encounters with humans. One of the most famous tales recounts the story of Ozaru, a mountain god in Mimasaka Province (known today as Okayama prefecture). The people of Mimasaka had a custom of offering a young girl to Ozaru as a sacrifice. Hearing this, a hunter volunteered to take the girl's place, and lay in wait for Ozaru with his two hunting dogs. When Ozaru finally showed up with its own monkey underlings, the hunter sprang and held his mark down while his dogs tore into Ozaru's underlings. A frightened Ozaru begged for forgiveness and vowed to never demand a sacrifice again. It is said that this vow has never been broken.

An Enki has the ability to handle human tools with ease. They have been known to use spears in battle, presumably weapons that were stolen from human owners. These spears are often thrown at their enemies, so one would be wise to keep this in mind if taking on an Enki from a distance. This is not the only danger they pose -- they were once monkeys, after all, and can therefore take giant leaps toward their enemies. They have been known to hang from branches and buildings, waiting to ambush unsuspecting human passersby. Be sure to stay vigilant when entering an Enki's domain!

## Location

Enki appear in a variety of levels, first appearing in The Village of Cursed Blossoms.

## Behavior

Enki primarily attack by swinging and throwing their spear. They also go for a grab sometimes. Their Burst attacks have them either perform a body slam or a series of spear swings. Sometimes they hang from branches and dive down to attack.

## Weak Spot & Tactics

Enki's weak point is its horn, which can be broken to reduce its maximum Ki.

Enki are the first enemy meant to challenge a new player. They hit harder than Gaki and are likely to be the first enemy that uses Burst attacks. Learning their attack patterns and destroying their horn will help take the advantage over these simian scourges.

If the equipment has a skill that can be inherited (white arrow) or transferred (orange arrow), it can only be performed if the equipment is at maximum Familiarity.
* **Refashion**: Change the appearance of equipment. Can only be done with types of equipment you have previously obtained. (For example, you can't refashion a random sword into Azai Ichimonji if you haven't obtained that weapon.)
* **Temper**: Improve the special effects of equipment. Use Umbracite to replace a skill on equipment with one of three random options. Using Quality or Fabled Umbracite will have stronger effects. Innate and transferable skills cannot be replaced this way.
* **Remodel**: A special function unlocked by completing The Roaming Artisan. This allows you to spend Metalworking Chisels to alter equipment's stats. For weapons, it allows you to choose one of the weapon's three stat bonuses to increase while decreasing the others, or choose two to increase with a lesser effect. For armor and accessories, it allows you to increase Defense at the cost of increased weight or stat requirements.
* **Disassemble**: Discard unwanted items to obtain smithing materials. One Patronage perk gives a rare chance to obtain yokai materials.

Simple outerwear conceived with working on water in mind. The chainmail mantle provides protection between the neck and shoulders, and the front guard protects the otherwise exposed skin between the chest and throat.

A pair of simple bracers consisting of fabric wound around the arms, with hard, curved wooden boards laid on top and bound with string. The boards have been treated with persimmon juice to improve their durability by preventing them from rotting.

A short, knee-length hakama created with working on water in mind. The simple tassets that guard the hips are the only parts that offer any protection.
