Nioh 3: Shrine Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Discovering the vast, interconnected regions of Nioh 3 starts with the locations of all Shrines. In a significant departure from previous games, Shrines in this installment function as Named Locations that double as essential fast-travel nodes across the open-field maps. Hunting down every Shrine—alongside every ancient Bodhisattva Statue—is the primary requirement for claiming the prestigious Devotee Trophy and establishing a safe network across the Warring States, Heian, and Bakumatsu eras.


Beyond acting as a respawn point, each purified Shrine serves as your tactical hub for character growth and mission management. A Shrine is much more than a simple checkpoint; it is where you refine your protagonist into a legendary Yokai hunter. By interacting with these sacred sites, you gain access to:


  • Leveling & Amrita Management: Spend your hard-earned Amrita to increase your base attributes and power.
  • Guardian Spirit & Soul Core Tuning: Swap your Guardian Spirits or use the Manage Soul Cores menu to set, enhance, and fuse cores to strengthen your spirit's resonance.
  • The Battle Scroll: This is your primary interface for replaying Main Missions and Sub-Missions within the region.
  • Skill Management: Access the specialized menus to activate new nodes or equip Secret Skill Texts and Handbooks using your Skill Capacity.
  • Kodama Blessings: Receive and enhance powerful buffs to Amrita gain or item drop rates based on the number of spirits you've rescued.
  • Online Co-Op & Preparations: Summon allies for difficult encounters and organize your inventory to stay battle-ready.


Many Shrines are initially inaccessible, shrouded in the thick corruption of a Lesser Crucible. To unlock these vital fast-travel points, you must often defeat a local Elite Enemy or shatter a nearby Crucible Spike to purify the area. This restoration is a major driver of your Exploration Level, helping you reach the milestones needed to reveal Area Info and pinpoint hidden Kodama or Hot Springs on your map.


Because Nioh 3's maps feature significant verticality and hidden caves, finding every checkpoint can be an annoying task. To help you, the Map Master team has pinned every Shrine location on our Interactive Nioh 3 Maps.


Use the links in the table below to find the nearest sanctuary in each province and verify that you’ve secured every fast-travel point for the Devotee Trophy.
