Castle Combat

The first thing you have to do is fight a Jailer. These enemies are strong, so keep your focus until they go down. After that, you have to jump across gaps in Nioh 3 to get to the next level.

Watch out for where you step to avoid falling. Along the way, you'll have to fight more Jailer Oni and smaller enemies like Bugs. Use your bow and flaming darts to shoot them from far away. Use Elixirs whenever you see your health is going down.

Finding the Exit and Safety

Keep going up and look for a shrine. There might be an Eye Looking Guy who is very hard to beat. You can try to lead him to the nearby Geysers to hurt him.

Always pray at a Shrine when you find one to keep your progress. There is an enemy guarding a Shrine further in. To unlock it and level up your stats in Nioh 3, you have to beat him.

To get to the end, you need to run past the fire and find the statue of the Bodhisattva. After you pray there, go through the last Door to start the cutscene and finish the level.
