His aunt, worried that he might do something rash, gave him the fabled sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi in an attempt to calm him.

## Character Directory

Ashikaga Yoshiteru was the thirteenth shogun of the Kamakura shogunate. After learning swordsmanship and the secret Single Tachi technique from Tsukahara Bokuden, master of the Shinto school, Yoshiteru became known as the "Swordsman Shogun."

Eager to revive the faltering Kamakura shogunate, he clashed with the Miyoshi clan over control of the central provinces, while at the same time attempting to make peace with daimyo around the country, offering them the use of a character from his name to reinforce his authority. However, he was betrayed by Matsunaga Hisahide among others and was surrounded at Nijogosho. He fought valiantly but was ultimately overwhelmed. It is said that he fought with such ferocity as he wielded his treasured blades in hand that he was still discovering new sword techniques amidst the mist of blood.

Yoshiteru had done his utmost to revive the fortunes of the shogunal house while he was alive, but now he sees that as nothing but a departed dream, and cares nothing for the fate of the Ashikaga clan. What nagged at him was his inability to pass on the two-handed twin-sword techniques he invented spontaneously at the moment of his death. Finally, having passed the secret on to the protagonist, Yoshiteru's only desire is that he protagonist avenges his death by cutting down the one who took his life.

## Location

Hinomotogo

## Description

One of the three legendary spears of Japan. It bears no inscription, but the bold engraving of the Buddhist god Acala in dragon form in the groove of the spear's tip suggests the work of a master craftsman. Despite its history as a magnificent royal treasure, at one point it is believed to have been presented to a high-ranking court official. In time, the spear passed from the Ashikaga Shogunate to the Oda and Toyotomi clans in turn, then to Fukushima Masanori, and finally to Mori Tomonobu, retainer to the Kuroda clan.

Now the village is a den of yokai, it's too dangerous for her to venture into alone. And that's where you come in! She wants you to go and retrieve the items in her place. Don't let her down, will you? She's counting on you!"* - Tokichiro

*Lord Ieyasu is a daimyo from Mikawa, in the east of Owari, and a trusted friend of Lord Nobunaga. This is sure to be a huge battle, so I'm sure there's room for us to get involved. Let's go and get stuck in, Hiddy!"* - Tokichiro

Courtier's Armor

## Descriptions

This helmet is subtly molded to fit the shape of the wearer's head and has a reinforced top section. The priority in its design seems to have been practicality and it doesn't have much in the way of adornments that would not help in the heat of battle. The bird motif at the front is curious, but it is light and designed not to impede the wearer in combat. It also serves the purpose of making the helmet stand out on the battlefield, so that the wearer's location is known.

This piece of armor is made from two plates of iron bound together with black leather. It has a simple sleeveless design and is light and easy to move in. While it is unspectacular visually, the surcoat worn over it is distinctive and shows the social status of the original owner.

These gauntlets are fashioned from three black-lacquered iron sheets and offer appropriate defense for a courtier who might have been called upon to protect his master.

A substantial skirt-like protector hangs down from the main section of this armor which is made from large iron plates sewn together with thick cord. Its traditional construction would have clearly communicated that its wearer hailed from a prominent warrior family.

These greaves are made from four black-lacquered sheets of iron fashioned into tubes and offer appropriate defense for a courtier who might have been called upon to protect his master, the shogun.

A set of armor said to have been owned by one of the leading courtiers to the shogun during the Muromachi period.
A Shadow's Duty

**A Shadow's Duty** is a sub mission in *Nioh 2.*

*"Hide, I am in need of your assistance!*

*In order to aid in the retreat of one of our allies, Hanzo was dispatched to hamper the Takeda army's pursuit. However, he did not return at the appointed time, which has long since passed.*

*While I doubt that someone of Hanzo's talents could be easily bested, I worry that something might have befallen him. After all, the yokai have been appearing in ever greater numbers of late. Please, would you help us find him?"* - Honda Tadakatsu
Harinobo

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

## Character Directory

The harinobo is a yokai formed by worn-out needles and broken blades. People in Japan believed that objects used for long periods of time housed a soul within them, and called them as "tsukumogami." While these tsukumogami are not necessarily intent on harming humans, it is said that some tools harbored a grudge for being prematurely discarded or being used in an improper manner, which caused them to transform into yokai. Among them, it is thought that objects such as needles and blades are especially susceptible to becoming yokai, so needles and blades that can no longer be used are often blessed at shrines. This ceremony is known as either hari-kuyo for needles, or hamono-kuyo for blades.

The bodies of harinobo contain numerous needles and blade fragments that have grown in size due to mystical powers and are forcibly expelled at their foes. It is said that this is an attempt by the harinobo to prove that the needles and blades are still capable of being used, despite having been discarded. Those who approach a harinobo unaware are likely to be sliced to ribbons before they even know what hit them.

## Location

Harinobo first appear in A Distant Dream.

## Behavior

Harinobo act much like their blobby cousins, the Toxic Slime and Lesser Umi-bozu. However, they are more aggressive overall. They can fire swords in all directions and fire salvos of homing needles. Also like their cousins, they sometimes expose their core. At times they are much larger than usual.

## Weak Spot & Tactics

Harinobo's weak spot is its core.

Just like its cousins, fire attacks are massively effective against Harinobo. They can be somewhat more annoying due to their rapid projectiles, but a good fire attack will take them down in no time.

## Drops

* Harinobo Soul Core
* Bloodstained Blade Scraps

## Dialogue

* Yokai Text: Be sure to make good use of me... you got it?
Bloodspider Blade

## Description

This odachi blade was used to defeat a giant spider yokai, and is named in honor of this. The blade is stained dark red and spider web motifs cover the hilt.

According to a legend of the Chugoku region, a warrior set off to defeat the spider yokai, but a few days later, both he and the spider were found dead. Lying next to the man was this sword. Those who discovered the bodies feared the sword was cursed and offered it to a shrine for safekeeping. However, it was later stolen and lost...

* All the pain I endured... You will know it a hundredfold!

## How to Obtain

Boundless Chaos

**Boundless Chaos** is a sub mission in *Nioh 2: Darkness in the Capital*.

*"Even though Doman is no longer with us, there have been sightings of a suspicious figure walking the palace grounds with yokai in tow. I swore to my master that I would protect the capital, and I cannot let it fall into chaos again. One of the Four Guardians, Urabe no Suetake, has already departed for the place. Could you join forces with him and that trusty bow of his to get to the bottom of this?"* -- Abe no Seimei

## Notes

* This mission has two items that assist in the final gauntlet: the Purifying Arrow and the Large Baby Stone. The former lights the altars, while the latter summons an Ubume to attack enemies.
Enenra

**Enenra** is a boss in *Nioh 2.*

## Character Directory

A yokai composed of smoke and darkness, born from the grudges of humans who met their untimely ends in the Dark Realm. It has no one true form, ever-changing as it drifts through the air. It is said to draw close to its victims by disguising itself amongst the steam and smoke of a bath of hearth in the home.

In spite of its hulking appearance, the Enenra is quick and agile due to its smoky origins. One would be wise to not make the mistake of thinking it slow in movement or mind. It can instantly take on the form of a tornado, pursuing its prey with frightening speed. An Enenra in this form is best avoided, for it advances relentlessly while damaging all in its path.

Enenra is sometimes linked to Enma, the god of hell in Buddhist mythology. It is said to appear in a wreath of hellfire, licked by scorching flames so hot a human would instantly be turned to ash. One wonders if a douse of ice-cold water may be enough to gain the upper hand in battle against this fiery yokai.

## Location

Enenra is the boss of the second mission, The Beast Born of Smoke and Flames. It appears in a few later missions.

## Behavior

Enenra primarily attacks with punches, kicks, and slam attacks. It can cause fire to erupt from the ground in a grid pattern and can throw a row of tornadoes. It can turn intangible to reposition itself for a strong attack. Its Burst attack has it turn into a tornado and charge the player. When its Ki is depleted, it summons the Dark Realm. Its speed dramatically increases, its attacks become imbued with fire, and it gains a Burst grapple.

## Weak Spot & Tactics

Enenra's weak point is its core, which is exposed when its Ki is depleted or the Dark Realm is active.

Enenra can string together attack combos that can easily catch players off guard if they anticipate the wrong one. Do not stop evading or blocking until its combo is definitely over. Be careful with its ground bursts, as elemental damage bypasses blocking. In the initial fight, it can be lured into breaking the support columns, causing water to fall on its head and inflicting Saturated. Use any form of water element attack you can find to help douse this fiery beast.

## Drops

* Enenra Soul Core
* Smoldering Ash Pile
* Bonepile Spear
* Ippon-Datara's Odachi
* Enenra Mask

## Locations

* The Beast Born of Smoke and Flames
* Okuni's Search
* The Golden Castle

## Dialogue

* Yokai text: WAS I REALLY SLAIN BY A...HUMAN? HOW AMUSING! I'LL HAPPILY BURN ALL WHO STAND IN YOUR WAY WITH HELL'S FIRE!

It is believed to bring good fortune and is used in lacquerware and textile designs, as well as in warlords' emblems and standards. Gourds have been known to be used in festivals as vessels for divine water, as they are said to possess spiritual powers.
Hachiya Clawed Fists

## Description

A pair of unique weapons employed by the Hachiya, ninja that served the Amago clan. As their name implies, the weapons have sharp claws attached, making them more lethal than standard fists.

These clawed fists, with their story decorations, were made for use in dance performances.

Genno's Hammer

## Description

A gigantic hammer used by Genno, a Buddhist priest of the Soto sect, to crush the Killing Stone. The nine-tailed fox Tamamo-no-Mae, in an attempt to sow seeds of political discord, had disguised herself as a lady of the court, but after her true form was revealed, she was banished to the Nasu mountains of Shimotsuke Province (present-day Tochigi prefecture), where she turned herself into a stone. Those that ventured too close to the stone fell to the poisonous air around it, thus earning it the name the "Killing Stone." Genno was able to approach the stone by chanting protective sutras, and wielding this hammer, he smashed the rock and put an end to its murderous power.

## Attributes

* Imbue Purity +7
* Attack Boost (Constitution): C+
* Attack Boost (Stamina): B+
* Attack Boost (Courage): D+

## How to Obtain

Dweller

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

## Character Directory

Dwellers are humans turned into yokai by the foul miasma in the depths of a mine. They were objects of loathing and terror for miners, and legends about them circulate wherever a mine with a long history is found. Their grotesquely altered forms inspire instinctive revulsion in all who can bear to view them.

The pickaxe carried by many Dwellers is the last trace of their former lives as miners. The sight of a Dweller swinging its pickaxe wildly as they attack is unsettling enough, but one without its axe is even more terrifying. In this state, they abandon all pretense to humanity, scrabbling on all fours and leaping at intruders like savage beasts.

## Location

Dwellers can be found in a variety of locations, especially underground areas.

## Behavior

Dwellers are often found swinging away at rocks or lying on the ground disguised as corpses. When approached, they get up and attack. They swing with their pickaxe or swipe while on all fours. Some Dwellers stand on top of structures and hurl firebombs. Dwellers have two types of grapple: one that inflicts poison, and one that deals actual damage. A much larger version of the Dweller sometimes appears, which largely the same abilities but notably stronger.

## Weak Spot & Tactics

Dweller's weak point is its head.

Dwellers are notably weaker than most yokai in terms of strength and durability, but compensate with determination. They will chase down players and can easily swarm and overwhelm players in a scuffle with a stronger yokai. Pick them off early to keep them from being a problem. Keep antidotes handy when dealing with these things.

## Drops

* Dweller Soul Core
* Mutated Skin

## Dialogue

* Keep digging, deeper and deeper... Uncover those shining stones!

Earthfall Kusarigama

## Description

A kusarigama crafted from a meteorite found at Mount Isurugi, a sacred mountain in Noto Province (present-day northern Ishikawa prefecture). The blade is crafted from stone, so its sharpness leaves much to be desired, but it more than makes up for this with an unearthly power that shakes the earth with every blow, just as the meteorite once did when it hit the mountain. The Isurugihiko Shrine was established on Mount Isurugi and flourished thanks to visiting ascetic monks, leading to other shrines with connections to meteorites being erected, such as the Suga Shrine in Chikuzen Province (Fukuoka prefecture), which is believed to house the world's oldest meteorite.

He is said to have possessed powers beyond human understanding, and was able to enlist the service of four demons when launching a rebellion against the imperial court. Fuki thoroughly tormented the emperor's troops with its ability to summon winds so strong they could destroy humans and buildings alike. According to the poem by Kinotomo, who was dispatched to subjugate the rebels, the four demons were eventually forced to retreat, and Fujiwara no Chikata met his end on the battlefield.

The four demons, with their spectacular supernatural powers, are said to be the precursors of the ninja we know today. Fuki can move as swiftly as the gales it conjures, and primarily attacks its enemies by summoning whirlwinds and firing shockwaves from a distance. One must not be overwhelmed by Fuki's agility, and instead focus on discerning the right time to strike. Unconventional tactics tend to be ineffective against extremely powerful opponents, so it is best to simply stay calm when facing Fuki in battle.

## Location

Fuki first appears in A Distant Dream, and is usually encountered in missions with its compatriot demons.

## Behavior

Many of Fuki's attacks are like that of the blue Yoki. It strikes with its Kusarigama and uses its cannon to fire wind blasts. It can also summon tornadoes.

## Weak Spot & Tactics

Fuki's horns can be broken to reduce its maximum Ki.

Speed-reducing abilities are especially helpful at dealing with this swift yokai. Its Ki isn't very high, so break those horns to force it to slow down.

Gaki

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

## Character Directory

Gaki is a yokai that was once human, cast down to Gakido upon dying due to the sins it committed during its lifetime. Gakido is described as a realm of eternal starvation and suffering for those in the afterlife. The pitiful Gaki is unable to eat normally, as consuming regular food will cause its body to burst into flame. It is for this reason that that Gaki prowls our world, searching for the flesh of dead warriors to ease its hunger.

Due to its ever-starting nature, the Gaki is often driven to such a manic state that it mistakes its stationary kin for a human corpse. A Gaki that cannibalizes its kin in this way grows stronger, and far more dangerous. When battling a Gaki, be certain to kill any other unmoving Gaki in the vicinity, before its brethren turn and do the job for you.

## Location

Gaki can be found in virtually any level that has yokai, first appearing in the tutorial and The Village of Cursed Blossoms proper.

## Behavior

Gaki mainly fight with swipes, bites, and lunges. They also throw stones and can spit up vile liquid that leaves a paralyzing field. Some throw bombs from high up. Others drop down for a sneak attack. If a Gaki manages to grab you or attack another downed Gaki, it will grow in size and become a far greater threat.

## Weak Spot & Tactics

Gaki's main weak point is its head. An arrow to the head will usually instantly kill it. Large Gaki are also vulnerable in their bellies. Gaki have very low Ki, to the point that some high-Ki damage attacks can instantly down them.

Gaki may be weak and pitiful, but even a weak and pitiful yokai is dangerous. They can easily sneak up on you with surprisingly strong attacks, harass you from afar, or join fights with stronger enemies. Large Gaki are much more dangerous and the little ones should be taken out before they reach this state.

## Drops

* Gaki Soul Core
* Warped Jawbone
* Stone
* Gunpowder Bomb

## Dialogue

* Yokai text: Help me, I'm starving! Do something, will you?

## Character Directory

Hattori Hanzo, whose real name is Masanari, is a ninja who serves the Tokugawa clan as a retainer. The name Hanzo is one that is passed down the generations to the leader of the Iga clan. In addition to training the Iga clan and engaging in the clandestine arts of concealment, Hanzo is also a military commander. Highly skilled with the spear, he is known as "the Demon Hanzo."

Following a plea from Oda Nobunaga, the Tokugawa forces join the Battle of Anegawa where they clash with the combined forces of the Azai and Asakura clans. The tide of battle turns against the Tokugawa forces when large numbers of yokai join the ranks of their enemy's army. The ferocious commander of the Asakura forces, Magara Naotaka, even transforms into a yokai himself and cuts a swathe through the opposing forces. Leaving Honda Tadakatsu to take on Naotaka, Hanzo dedicates himself to protecting Ieyasu, his lord.

After Tokichiro's forces defeat Akechi Mitsuhide on Mount Tenno, they immediately launch an attack on the Tokugawa army stationed in Sakai. As the Tokugawa forces beat a hasty retreat, Hanzo stays behind in order to prevent Tokichiro's forces pursuing his master. At this point, he encounters the protagonist, who he initially believes to be a remnant of Tokichiro's forces. He soon realizes his mistake and lowers his spear. With the protagonist now loyal to Ieyasu, Hanzo decides that they should join forces.

The Tokugawa forces subsequently regroup and prepare to face down Tokichiro's forces. Prior to the battle, Hanzo visits the protagonist and urges them to fight. He also recommends paying a visit to the tea house of Sen no Rikyu. At the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute, Hanzo fights fiercely for a Tokugawa victory alongside the protagonist and Honda Tadakatsu.
