Nioh 2 Cheats
/The Hidden Monsters of Okehazama Kodama Locations
Kodama are lost NPCs and if you send them back to their shrines you can unlock bonuses at shrines in that region. You can additional Elixirs from the Shrines when a Kodama is back to his location. However, if you attack near a Kodama it will hide and become unresponsive.
There is nothing to worry though as they will be back to normal shortly. There are 7 Kodama locations in The Hidden Monsters of Okehazama main mission in Nioh 2.
Kodama Locations #1
Look inside the cave near the starting point to find your first Kodama in this main story mission. The Kodama is in the second room of the cave.
Kodama Locations #2
From the first location go back to the room where some Gaki are waiting for you. Head up the slope on the right into another path where you will find an Enki. The Kodama is just past the Enki.
Kodama Location #3
The next Kodama location is right outside the cave from the first and second locations. Go up the steep path and towards the forest area where you will find a Nure-Onna. The Kodama is nearby behind the grass.
Kodama Location #4
