Nioh 3: Myth Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Nioh 3, uncovering all Myth locations allows you to immerse yourself in the rich folklore of the Warring States and the supernatural mysteries of the Eternal Rift. Unlike traditional side missions, Myths function as intricate environmental puzzles and historical vignettes that breathe life into the world.


They challenge you to think like a detective—solving riddles left by fallen monks, interacting with restless spirits, or restoring ancient shrines to their former glory. Successfully resolving these Myths is more than just a lore-hunting exercise; it is one of the most productive ways to maximize your protagonist's power before entering the endgame.


Completing every Myth provides a unique set of progression benefits that are vital for conquering the game's high-difficulty Crucibles:


  • Myths are high-value objectives for your regional Exploration Level. Each completion grants substantial progress, leading to permanent base stat increases and unlocking high-tier rewards.
  • As you resolve these stories, you unlock comprehensive Area Info. This removes the "Fog of War" to reveal hidden Kodama, Hot Spring Baths, and Traversal Spirit Veins that would otherwise remain invisible.
  • Many Myths are the only source for rare Craft Guides and unique Mission Items, such as the Toji Temple Yokai Horde Picture Scroll. Without completing the associated Myth, these items remain locked behind narrative barriers.
  • Certain Myths grant temporary, regional-specific buffs—such as increased Ki recovery in foggy areas—that make local Elite Enemy encounters significantly easier.


Because Myths often require specific steps—like delivering a Gorgeous Celadon Tea Bowl to a specific location—they can be among the most challenging tasks to complete. To make sure you never get stuck, the Map Master team has documented the starting points and solutions for every Myth in the game.


Our Interactive Maps for Nioh 3 feature walkthrough-style markers that guide you through each step, pinpointing the location of all mission-related items and warning you of any Elite Enemies or Bosses that might ambush you during your investigation.
