You will need a steady supply of Ochoko Cups if you want to fight bosses or have companions on your journey. If you look for a certain type of encounter, you can quickly gather these things. This method works well because it focuses on groups of enemies that show up a lot.

Finding the Bloodedge Demon Grave

Finding a Bloodedge Demon Grave is the first step. Find and kill any regular Bloody Grave you see on the map first. When the enemy dies, look for red orbs that are called the essence of life.

These orbs will fly up into the air and head toward where a Bloodedge Demon is hiding. You will see red arrows on your map pointing in the same direction. Follow these signs until you see a purple orb that glows in Nioh 3.

Cleaning Up the Graves Around

Don't fight the Bloodedge Demon itself once you find the purple orb. Instead, look at the ground around it. There will be a lot of Bloody Graves that belong to other players who died fighting the demon. These are the people you need to get.

Defeating these spirits is the most reliable way to get Ochoko Cups. You might get one, two, or even three cups from a single spirit, though a drop is not always guaranteed. These enemies are usually at a lower level, making them very fast to clear out.

Resetting the Farm

After you have defeated all the spirits in the immediate area, head to the nearest Shrine. Praying at the Shrine resets the world and causes the Bloody Graves to reappear instantly. You can then return to the purple orb and clear the same area again.

Even if you eventually decide to kill the Bloodedge Demon, it can still reappear in the world later, allowing you to continue using this spot for farming. By using this cycle, you can collect dozens of Ochoko Cups in a very short amount of time.
