Benkei

**Benkei** is a character in *Nioh 2: The Tengu's Disciple.*

## Character Directory

Benkei is a warrior monk from the late Heian period, also known as Musashibo Benkei. He is a large man, typically seen wearing a hood and the garb of a Buddhist priest. His reputation for being an incredibly powerful warrior precedes him, and the splitstaff is said to be just one of many weapons he wields with great skill. He is famous for serving Yoshitsune. It is said that the two originally met because Benkei had a penchant for collecting weapons, and coveted Yoshitsune's blade.

As one of Yoshitsune's retainers, Benkei clashes with the Taira clan in Yashima. When he see the protagonist's Sohayamaru, he mistakes it for Yoshitsune's own blade, and attacks the protagonist to reclaim it for his master. After the protagonist manages to defeat Benkei, Benkei acknowledges their might and the two come to be companions. Benkei contributes to the protagonist's triumph over Uminyudo, the enormous yokai who attacks them at sea.

When Yoshitsune is forced to flee the capital, Benkei obeys his master's command and makes his way to Hiraizumi. There he is attacked by the Fujiwara army. Benkei singlehandedly holds the enemy soldiers off to protect his master, but is tragically struck down, with a multitude of arrows piercing his body. Benkei transforms into a porcelain figure and shatters into pieces before a horrified Yoshitsune's eyes, revealing that he was a Seto Taisho -- a yokai formed from the unused fragments of old crockery -- all along.

## Location

Benkei is a miniboss in A Song to Calm the Storm, who then becomes an ally for a portion of the mission. Later, he appears in a standalone duel in Soul of the Warrior Monk.

## Behavior

Benkei has a yokai Ki meter, hinting at his true nature. However, he never summons the Dark Realm. He mainly attacks with rapid slashes from his switchglaive, flinging swords, slashing with an axe, and performing a stomp. At half health, he gains an attack buff and a defense debuff. When near defeat, he breaks out the splitstaff.

## Weak Point & Tactics

Attacking Benkei's legs repeatedly will cause him to fall down, taking a huge chunk out of his Ki and leaving him vulnerable for a short time.

Benkei is shockingly fast despite his size, and his combos can continue for a long time. Don't let your guard down even when it looks like his combos are over.

Brave General's Armour

## Description

A helmet referred to as a "suji-kabuto," it resembles the shape of a brush tip. The horn-shaped emblem and steady expression on the visor are designed to intimidate the enemy. This armour belonged to a warlord whose exploits with the spear gained him notoriety.

Body armour featuring a double—plated design with fastenings on the right side. It is made up of tiny inverted "kozane" scales. The sleeves are form—fitting "itazane" plates for high manoeuvrability, whilst still presenting the look of heavy armour.

Arm guards that have a core of light gauge iron with a tough leather covering. The light weight allows for good manoeuvrability, whilst affording protection from the elbows down over the backs of the hands. The palms are left exposed to aid in handling weapons.

This hizayoroi consists of large "haidate" aprons. The backs extend all the way down to the ankles, offering a wide area of protection. At the bottom of the aprons in the back are ornamental emblems designed to be visible even when a tabard is being worn as well.

Greases made of multiple iron plates riveted together and tied around the leg with a braid. A thin, soft layer of leather against the calves helps prevent slippage, and the portion below the ankle is protected with decorative fur and other materials.

Azai Nagamasa

**Azai Nagamasa** is a character and boss in *Nioh 2.*

## Character Directory

Azai Nagamasa is a daimyo of Omi Province (modern-day Shiga Prefecture). He married Oichi, Oda Nobunaga's sister, in order to forge an alliance with the Oda clan as Nobunaga's campaign advanced from Owari into Mino. Though Nobunaga viewed Nagamasa as a trusted brother-in-law, Nagamasa would betray this trust when he suddenly attacked Nobunaga's forces as they were on their way to attack the Asakura clan in Echizen.

Nagamasa and Oichi led a happy life together after their marriage. Nagamasa deeply respected his brother-in-law, Nobunaga, and tried to follow in his footsteps. But faced with such a relentlessly driven example to follow, he never felt like he was good enough. Sensing Nagamasa's emotional vulnerability, the man with the staff seized the opportunity to possess him, causing Nagamasa to betray Nobunaga. After being defeated in the Battle of Anegawa, Nagamasa retreats to the safety of his own castle, but is ultimately forced to confront the protagonist in the castle keep. He transforms into a yokai, but this is not enough to prevent the protagonist from defeating him. As he finally regains his senses, he entrusts the protagonist with Oichi's safety before drawing his last breath.

Having died with so much regret, Nagamasa lingered in the Interim, unable to move on to the next stage of his existence. When he meets the protagonist again, he learns that the daughter he conceived with Oichi is safe, and is finally able to rest in peace. Chacha, Nagamasa's daughter, would come to be known as Yodogimi, mother of Tokichiro's heir, Hideyori. She would have a great impact on events for generations to come.

## Location

Azai Nagamasa in his yokai form is the boss of the ninth mission, Bird In A Cage. He later appears as a standalone duel (also in yokai form) in Yaksha Returns.

## Behavior

Azai Nagamasa mostly attacks with sweeping sword strikes and flinging feathers. He will block with his wing as long as he isn't attacking, which is guaranteed to stagger the player and leads to a followup attack. He can also jump into the air and come down near the player with a plunging attack. He has a grapple that he will use at close range. His Burst attacks have him summon Hiyokucho and release multiple blasts of water in a large radius, or use a powerful thrust attack. When his Ki is depleted and he summons the Dark Realm, he gains another wing and can release homing Amrita shots and dive at the player for a Burst attack or grapple.

## Weak Spot & Tactics

Attempting to recklessly attack Azai Nagamasa will result in getting repeatedly parried and grappled. Find openings in his attack patterns and exploit them before he can guard again.

Deep in the Shadows

*“Welcome, Hanzo. It is good of you and your friend to come.*

*Sir William, was it? I am told you have a certain measure of skill in dealing with Yokai and monsters. It is with these abilities in mind that I have a favour to ask.*

*My son, Nagamasa, has gone off to defeat a band of rogues, and I have not heard from him since. I would go to his aid myself, but my body is not what it once was. Will you go and save my son in my stead?” - Kuroda Kanbei*

- Mission Description

*“Sir William, I can't thank you enough for saving Nagamasa. You have my utmost gratitude. That said, though my fellow countrymen and I have some familiarity with foreign names, I'm afraid I cannot help but find yours difficult to pronounce.*

*Might I suggest calling yourself "Anjin" from now on? It means "pilot" in Japanese, fitting for a seafarer such as yourself. I am sure those of this land will find that easier to understand.” - Kuroda Kanbei*

- Mission Completion

*In the north of Kyushu, beneath the mountains of Nakatsu, lies a complex warren of limestones caves created by eons of erosion. Bold rogues make their home in its shallowest levels, but even they fear to tread into its deepest depths.*

*A cloth robe with an armguard on the left side to keep it away from the bow. It's lightweight and thus not particularly protective, but perfectly suited for archery.*

*Light leather gauntlets. Gathers up and holds back one's sleeves for easier bow handling, while protecting the archer's forearm as they grip the bow. The right hand is a softer leather glove that protects the fingers doing the drawing of the bowstring.*

Daihannya Nagamitsu & Kannagiri

## Description

A famous pair of long and short swords forged by the famed swordsmith Nagamitsu of the Osafune style in Bizen province. The larger of the two blades, Daihannya Nagamitsu, was valued at an exceptional six hundred kan and was likened to the "Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra," or "Daihannyakyo" in Japanese, which consisted of 600 scrolls, hence the blade's name. It was granted to Miyoshi Nagayoshi by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the thirteenth shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate, and eventually fell into the possession of Okudaira Nobumasa after passing through the hands of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa leyasu. The smaller blade, Kannagiri, was given its name from a legend in which Katatamata Goro of Omi province (Shiga prefecture) was attacked by a mad carpenter at Mount Ibuki, and used the blade to cleave the carpenter's wood plane in two, causing the carpenter to vanish into thin air. The sword was confiscated by the Rokkaku clan before it was passed to Oda Nobunaga and eventually fell into the hands of Gamo Ujisato.

Ebony Armour

## Description

A helmet with a thick iron bowl from which "shikoro" neck guards are suspended. The visor that covers the face to below the eye line is modelled on a long-nosed goblin, giving the wearer a demonic air. This armour was used by the Obsidian Samurai, the samurai of African origin who served under Oda Nobunaga. The Obsidian Samurai arrived in Japan as a servant of an Italian missionary. When he met Nobunaga, the warlord took a liking to him and employed him in his military. He was a huge man, lauded as having the strength of ten men. This equipment was commissioned by Nobunaga especially to accommodate the Obsidian Samurai's large frame.

This do features an open chest area so as not to hinder the wearer's well—developed muscles. The Nanban—style abdominal region of the do is adorned with the Oda family crest. The arm portions differ between left and right, with the left shoulder sporting a large iron top sleeve.

Armour of the Exceptional

## Description

A helmet referred to as a "suji-kabuto," it resembles the shape of a brush tip. The vermilion beetle-horn crest contrasts with the traditional elegant "shikoro" neck guards and "fukikaeshi" plates, and when combined with the "menpo" visor, makes this a conspicuous piece that leaves the opposition cold. This Tosei-gusoku armour was owned by Shima Sakon, the tactician who served Ishida Mitsunari. Sakon was a man who possessed keen intelligence, his tactics keeping Tokugawa leyasu in check. As a military commander, he was both courageous and wise, and touted as being "too good for Mitsunari." The staid navy blue thread binding on the black lacquer "kozane" scales are a reflection of Sakon's intelligence and fidelity.

Body armour featuring a double—plated design with fastenings on the right side. Made from tiny inverted "kozane" scales, the Shima family crest displaying three Japanese emperor oak leaves is emblazoned in its centre. The sleeves are form—following "itazane" plates for high manoeuvrability, whilst still presenting the look of heavy armour.

Kote arm guards featuring the same navy blue lashing as the do, with the core being made from light gauge iron covered in tough leather. The light weight allows for good manoeuvrability, whilst affording protection from the elbows down over the backs of the hands. The palms are left exposed to aid in handling weapons.

This hizayoroi features substantial pieces of armour with white thread complementing the navy blue. On the back, they extend down to the ankles offering protection over a wide area. The very bottoms of the hizayoroi at the back sport extravagant gold adornments, designed to be visible from underneath even when a tabard is being worn.

Greaves made of multiple iron plates riveted together and tied around the leg with a braid. A thin, soft leather layer against the calves helps prevent slippage, and the portion below the ankle is protected with a decorative piece of bear skin.

Dharmachakra Kabuto

## Description

The Dharmachakra Kabuto is a form of "kawari—kabuto"—a family of helmets featuring fantastical designs. This helmet features a red—lacquered front crest of an ancient Buddhist symbol depicting the eightfold path to nirvana. This holy image represents spiritual enlightenment attained by casting off one's worldly desires, and also holds the power to banish evil. However, some claim this is not Dharmachakra Kabuto at all, merely a replica that looks as though it belongs on a device to regulate steam. Some have gone so far as to suggest renaming it to "valve kabuto," but why anyone would make a helmet featuring a valve is unclear.

Edward Kelley

Edward Kelley is an English alchemist. Having mastered the secret of turning lead into gold, he uses Amrita to turn humans into monsters and reanimate corpses. He has a Guardian Spirit named Uroboros and is able to disappear, disguise himself as another, and steal other people's guardian spirit to use for his own purpose. On the orders of John Dee, he stole Saoirse-who is able to detect Amrita-from William, and set out for Japan, a land full of high-quality Amrita lying fallow. He is cruel and determined, willing to do anything to achieve his goals. He thrives in the chaos of war, taking sadistic pleasure in human suffering.

### Entry 2

*Unlock: To unlock, complete the mission "????".*

Arriving in Japan just before William, Kelley disguised himself and began working behind the scenes to fan the flames of conflict across the archipelago. He sees Saoirse as nothing more than a tool and travels the country using her ability to detect and gather Amrita.

### Entry 3

*Unlock: To unlock, complete the mission "????".*

Hoping to plunge Japan back into civil war, Kelley resurrects Oda Nobunaga, but Nobunaga refuses to obey Kelley, and, after enjoying a battle with William, moves on to the next world. His back against the wall, Kelley flies into a rage and uses a massive amount of Amrita to summon the serpent Yamata—no—Orochi. William, however, is able to smash through all of Kelley's scheming, and the alchemist is finally defeated.

### Entry 4

*Unlock: To unlock, defeat ???? 3 times.*

Kelley's Guardian Spirit Uroboros takes the form of a serpent swallowing its own tail and is said to represent cycles like destruction and creation and death and rebirth. In alchemy, the uroboros is a symbol of unity in opposition and corresponds to similar ideas in Onmyo magic.

### Entry 5

*Unlock: To unlock, defeat ????.*

Kelley was a homunculus born through alchemical techniques. The Kelley that came to Japan was nothing more than a vessel created by John Dee. Back in the Tower of London, countless other Kelleys await their turn to awaken.

## Location

In the final level in japan, "The Demon King Revealed", you encounter Kelly after defeating Oda Nobunaga.

## Behaviour

Kelly has one forward grab that one-shots you, and he also throws red Amrita Spikes sometimes. He can also send his snake spirit into the ground and it comes out of the ground wherever you are at the given time. He also have an overpowered block that you can hit with everything and it won't break.

## Weak Spot & Tactics

Kelly runs out of ki very easily, if you hit him when he's spinning his snake spirit around him he'll just cancel it and stand there for a few seconds. His one-shot grab also has a very obvious tell in that he moves his hand back quite far before going forward again. All in all, it's a very easy fight if you have Ki damage.
Familiarity

It indicates how much you used an item. Familiarity boosts both attack/defense and the additional affixes on your armor and weapons. Divine and Ethereal Gear can reach up to 999 Familiarity.

## Increasing Familiarity

You gain familiarity by using the equipment in question. In general, skills give you less familiarity per hit then quick and strong attacks. You can however increase the gains in familiarity you get by infusing your armor and ranged weapons with +% Familiarity, using Idokuri Guardian Spirit and by using Uchiko Powder and Living Weapon. Living Weapon in particular boosts the amount of Familiarity you get.

The amount of familiarity you get also increases with the amount of amrita a killed enemy is worth. The factor is really small and estimated to be around 0.00000065% of amrita dropped by enemies. On lower difficulties, this will result in no additional familiarity gained. On Way of the Nioh, this will however severely impact the amount of familiarity you gain.

The only items that can directly increase your familiarity are Whetstones and Nikawa Glue. Your Familiarity will increase by 150 for every Whetstone/Nikawa Glue. Whetstones can be crafted from Kappa Shells, and Nikawa Glue can be crafted from Slender Vertebrae.

## Farming Familiarity

​​​​​​The Axe Method:

Equip a really weak Axe infused with Paralysis, Close Combat Ki Reduction, and Ki Damage. Use Itokuri and any other +% Familiarity Bonus equipment and enter Marobashi. Pop Uchiko Powder and use Mad Spinner on Marume Nagayoshi. He doesnt dodge and will continualy be unable to move during mad spinner, due to the paralysis. You keep spinning until you have max familiarity or until he dies.

The Water Sword Method:

Enter Hyakki Yagyo, use a weak Kusarigama/Dual Swordsas much +% familiarity bonus equipment as you can, move to the back of the spawning Yokai Bosses and Water Sword them to death.

The Living Weapon Method:

Stack familiarity bonus and +%amrita gained, use uchiko powder, extraction and pleiades and activate a Living Weapon with a high Action and Recovery stat, and kill big Yokai. This only works on WotN, because it's main focus is not on hitting the enemy repeatedly, but about benefitting from the Living Weapon enhanced Familiarity gain, and the 0.00000065% amrita dropped mechanic. This method essentialy utilizes an infinite living weapon build - and is therefor the most usable. Ranged Weapons can also be used during Living Weapon, and therefor also benefit from the enhanced familiarity gain during Living Weapon. This makes Soul Purge Talisman somewhat viable in WotN when running a LW build.
Brute's Axe

## Description

A double—headed axe forged for combat use. Its considerable weight makes it a difficult weapon to wield. The rough construction places importance on raw power over sharpness, and it was given only to the most brutal battlefield champions.

Amrita Fiend

## Character Directory

An Amrita Fiend is a fiend with Amrita spikes driven deep into their shoulders and heads, sending them berserk. An Amrita Fiend is altogether more powerful than a normal fiend.

Amrita spikes contain attributes of either fire, water, wind, lightning, or earth. Match your elemental attack to the attribute of the Amrita Fiend to enhance the power of your hits. But beware: when an Amrita Fiend's power exceeds a certain level, it will explode--and this too can be exploited as a tactic by those so inclined.

## Behavior

Amrita Fiend acts similarly to Yoki with the only notable differences is that it will attack the player with an elemental ball if they are a few feet away from the player and can inflict a status effect upon the player depending on their infused element.

## Weak Spot & Tactics

Yokai Fiend are resistant to their own element, however, most of the time, if one is to hit the amrita cristal on their backs with said element, either through Living Weapon, an elementally infused weapon such as the Raikiri or Omnyo Magic buffs, the Yokai Fiend will drop on his knees then onthe ground where it will explode after a short period of time, therefore it is advised to run.

Their horns are their weak spot. Upon hitting their horn, their Ki will be broken and they'll fall to the ground and open themselves up for a finishing blow. All Weapons can easily break the horn in high stance. Ninjutsu and magic shots tend to aim close to the horn. If positioned accordingly, both Ninjutsu and magic shots can easily hit the horn.
Braided Straw Kabuto

## Description

This 'kwari-kabuto' - a helmet adorned with fantastical designs - was worn by Sengoku Hidehisa who served Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The design uses straw ropes women in an intricate pattern. The side crest of gold gern leaves that wrap around the skullcap have been added to make the helmet appear larger, rather than make it more pleasing to the eye. Ever since Hidehisa began serving Hideyoshi on Oda Nobunaga's orders, he distinguished himself in battle time and again, from the Battle of Anegawa to the Siege of Odawara. It is unknown in exactly which battle this helmet was used.

Amabie

**Amabie** is a Guardian Spirit in Nioh 2: The First Samurai.

## Character Directory

A Guardian Spirit with long hair on its head, and covered in fish-like scales. It rises out of the sea to bring word of impending plagues, telling those who will listen to draw a picture of it and show it to others in order to stop them falling ill. Illustrations of an Amabie, documenting one of its visits, can be found on the block prints from the Edo period. Although their appearances differ, the behavior of the Amabie is very similar to that of other yokai, such as Jinja-hime and Umidebito. The pattern of appearing to warn of disease, along with its image being used to ward off illness, is also reminiscent of Hakutaku, leading some to believe that the two entities are somehow connected.

## How to Obtain

Amabie is obtained by completing In Search of the Elixir.

## Stats

* Attack: x0.81
* Defense: x1.24
* Attunement Limit: 23
* Anima Bonus (Ranged Hit): A-

Dojo Missions

The dojo is the training ground for samurai. It is filled with the blood, sweat and tears of uncounted warriors who polished their techniques within its walls. These long traditions and secrets are handed down from generation to generation.

Dojo missions become available at the Dojo upon completing certain missions. These are training missions in which William usually duels a character who is a master of a specific weapon or fighting technique. These missions often award skill point items or unlock a specific skill in the skill tree.

Administrators

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, **administrators** can access a few additional functions.

## Administrator abilities

These additional functions include:

* Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
* Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
* Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
* Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

## Bureaucrat abilities

A **bureaucrat** can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki.

Bureaucrats can also give users the ability to "rollback" edits not made in good faith.

## Staff

Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please use Special:Contact to contact Wikia staff.

## Who are this wiki's administrators?

The "founder" of a wiki, the person who first requested it, is given administrator access automatically. Founders are also given bureaucrat access so they can make any other user on their wiki an administrator or bureaucrat.

The following users are Administrators or Bureaucrats:

* Arashiryuu0
* RighteousLuminary
* THEEMBRACHEDONE
* HOLYDANNA

## How do I use administrator powers?

See Help:Administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

## Becoming an administrator

For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On this Wiki, you may either post on the forums and ask for community consensus to promote you. Alternatively, you can post a message on Arashiryuu's Wall asking for the promotion.

If there are no active bureaucrats, use the "Requests for adminship" page to nominate users to become admins or bureaucrats. Once a community decision has been reached (or if there is no active community to debate the decision), please leave a message at the wiki adoption requests page and Wikia Staff can provide the rights.

## What can administrators not do?

Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.

Dark Omens

**Dark Omens** is a Sub Mission in *Nioh 2.*

## Description

*"Hey, listen up! We've got our next job from Master Dosan all lined up! Sounds like a merchant that deals with Master Dosan regularly has gone missing. He wants us to try and track them down. It seems this character also deals in Spirit Stones, and with the world the way it is these days, they may well have run into trouble. Anyway, this is a big chance for us to earn Master Dosan's trust. Let's wrap this up nice and quick and earn ourselves a decent meal."* - Tokichiro
Akaoni-no-Sankaku Spear

## Description

A greatspear with a robust spearhead. The blade tip's thick triangular cross section ensures it never breaks in the midst of battle. The shaft is thick and durable to keep the weapon balanced, but the added weight means only the very strongest warriors can handle it. The name translates to "the red demon's triangular spear," a reference to the blade's shape and the red—armored army led by Ii Naomasa who wielded the spear. Formerly of the Imagawa clan, Naomasa joined Tokugawa leyasu a little later than other senior officials, but his military exploits with this spear in his hands earned him a place as one of the four great Tokugawa commanders.

## How to Obtain

* Crafted at the forge.
* Common drop from Ii Naomasa.
* Random loot drop and mission reward.

## Notes

* Piece from Ii, the Red Demon set.
* Fire +4.
* Wielded by Ii Naomasa.

A Storm in the Underworld

**A Storm in the Underworld** is a Sub Mission in *Nioh 2: Darkness in the Capital*.

*"The tremendous loathing Doman felt towards this world has festered and turned into something foul, taking physical form as an aratama. A dark shadow has fallen over us once again. It seems this creature is to be found far from the capital, in Ise, a land tied to many of the legends of old. While we cannot be sure of its aim, leaving it unchecked is sure to bring calamity. Head for Ise, and purge the hate in Doman's heart, once and for all."* -- Abe no Seimei
Bloodstained Cleaver

## Description

A large sword favoured by the namahage. Its length is comparable to that of an odachi, but rather than being forged to cleave objects, more emphasis was placed on its ability to deal damaging blows to enemies. The blade is adorned with a multitude of sharp bumps and barbs, and is permanently stained with the blood of those it has felled in battle, with any attempts to clean the blade proving futile.

## How to Obtain

* Common drop from Namahage.
* Random loot drop and mission reward.
* Dropped from revenants wielding it.
* Crafted at the forge.
