All Tenryu River Collectables in Nioh 3
Tenryu River is the first area you visit after escaping Hitokoto Slope. This is where you and Honda arrive together and begin exploring the area. From here, you can freely explore different locations, and you can move between areas without going back to the hub. Below is the list of all the collectibles that we have found till now, and we will update this guide if we find other collectibles.
Kodama Location
In Nioh 2, there are 150 Kodama to find. Collecting all of them unlocks the Kodama Leader trophy. Kodama are tiny spirit NPCs that you can discover throughout the game. When you find a Kodama, interact with it and guide it back to the nearest Shrine. Doing this will activate a Kodama Blessing for that area, giving you special bonuses from the Shrine. Be careful, not all Kodama are easy to approach. If you attack near them, they will hide and won’t respond. Wait for them to come out of their bowl before interacting.
Kodama #1
You will find this Kodama inside a building on the East side of the Tenryu river area. It’s on the upper floor, so look for the wooden planks going towards a hole in the roof and use them to get inside the building. Once you are inside the building, interact with the Kodama in the corners of the room.
Kodama #2
This Kodama is found in the Northern part of the Tenryu river area. The Kodama is sitting at a small shrine under a Torii gate.
Kodama #3
The Kodama is found inside an enemy base located north-east of Hojo Shrine. It is north of the Prospect Hill Shrine. Clear all the enemies in the area and you will find the Kodama standing right in front of a chest.
Kodama #4
To get this Kodama, head towards the northwest side of the Tenryu River area. The Kodama is found at the top of the watchtower. Climb the watchtower with the ladder. Reach all the way to the top and interact with the Kodama.
Jizo Location
Six Jijo are sacred statues you can find throughout Nioh 3. When you find one, you can pray in front of it to Jizo Merit. The Jizo Merit can then be spent on the Jizo blessings, which give you buffs and bonuses to make your journey easy.
Six Jizo #1
The Six Jizo statues can be found southwest of the Hamamatsu Gate Shrine. Look for a small fenced area, and you will find the six Jizo statues.
Six Jizo #2
The Jizo statues can be found east of the Hojo shrine. Climb the stairs towards a big tree, and you will find the enemies guarding the area. Clear all the enemies to find the Jizo statues near the tree.
Chijiko Location
Chijiko are special NPCs that you can meet while exploring Nioh 3. They appear in different places and are usually floating in the area. When you find one, shoot it down with an arrow, and it will land on the ground. Pet to get useful items to help you on your journey.
Chijiko #1
The first Chijiko is found on the southeast side of the Tenryu River area. It is flying in the area near a small shack. Once you see it, use a ranged weapon to knock it down. Then interact with it to get Samurai’s Locks and the Transformed Art: Moonlit Snow Charge for the Odachi as rewards.
Chijiko #2
You will find this Chijiko west of the centre of the Tenryu River area, near a cliff covered with gold crystal. After interaction with it, you will get Samurai’s Locks along with the Transformed Art: Heaven Flash Lightning for the Sword as rewards.
