Underworld Guide

The Underworld is the post-post-game Dungeon for Nioh 2. It's rather reminiscent of the Abyss from the first Nioh, but does have a few differences. Let's dig in!

Introduction

Welcome to Yomi, the Underworld, the place where weeping souls come to die.

The Underworld unlocks once you have completed Dream of the Wise, and unlocked Dream of the Nioh, New Game ++++.

The Underworld is the final layer of Nioh 2's gameplay, and in many ways is the most challenging - and rewarding. All enemies are at their absolute best here - no more sluggish AI letting you get used to it, no weakened hits that give you a second chance. You will die, and you will die a lot here while you're getting your feet under you.

But once you do?

You feel like a badass. There is nothing like the rush of beating a hard game at it's very best, and Nioh 2's Underworld delivers.

Much like the first Nioh's Abyss, the Underworld is composed of a central staging area, a side-mission that you can either grind in or just rush through, and a boss arena. We'll go into more detail on each of these (and each are somewhat different, so it's worth reading up on them) in their own section.

Let's get to it ^_^

Grace Rotation

Much like the Abyss, each stratum of the Underworld has a set of 18 Ethereal Graces that will drop naturally throughout it's areas and bosses.

Also much like the Abyss, these Graces are limited to a pool of 6 Graces for each strata, and rotate in a predictable manner. The formula is something like "3n + x", where if a floor is a multiple of 3 (3, 6, 9, etc..), it will be the "Susano" set of graces, if the floor is a multiple of 3 + 1 (4, 7, 10, etc..), it will be the Omoikane set, and 3 + 2 (5, 8, 11, etc..) will be Marici.

Here are the sets of Graces:

FLOOR FORMULA	GRACE ROTATION	GRACE
3n	Susano	Grace of Susano
	Susano	Grace of Futsunushi
	Susano	Grace of Tsukuyomi
	Susano	Grace of Takemikazuchi

	Susano	Sarutahiko's Grace
3n+1	Omoikane	Omoikane's Grace
	Omoikane	Izanagi's Grace
	Omoikane	Acala's Grace
	Omoikane	Ame-no-Uzume's Grace
	Omoikane	Takeminakata's Grace
	Omoikane	Grace of Kagatsuchi
3n+2	Marici	Marici's Grace
	Marici	Izanami's Grace
	Marici	Magatsuhi's Grace
	Marici	Ninigi's Grace
	Marici	Grace of Owatatsumi
	Marici	Grace of Amaterasu

Sounds cool.Dont push yourself too much with guides,writing them can be quite exhausting ;)

[Deostades]

I'm kinda seeing that too as I progress myself. Guess I'll knock that column off. Might even be able to fit it down to two sections instead of three.

[Asedora]

yeah,companions dont match up with what I've had(on Honda I got Saika instead)

[soft]

Pretty sure the companions are randomized, correct me if im wrong

[Deostades]

Thanks

[montengo]

nitpick: below should read: The Underwold becomes accessible when you have "completed" the final mission of the base game in Dream of the WISE. In other words, as soon as you arrive at Dream of the Nioh. You do not need to do any missions on Nioh difficulty to unlock and complete Underworld and Depths.

[Deostades]

The Underwold becomes accessible when you have "completed" the final mission of the base game in Dream of the Nioh. Defeat Otakemaru in the sixth region, and when you get back to the world map a new icon will be added above the Scrolls option on the far left.

[Yal]

I'm missing a "how to unlock it" section (maybe right after the introduction?), it seems to be a bit more obtuse to get access than it was in the first game and I came here looking for answers :P

[Deostades]

Good plan. I was thinking about tossing all that into "The Loot" section once I'd figured it out ^_^
