Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Nioh turns mission clears into Amrita for levels and equipment for build upgrades. Its repeatable progression expands through rotating Twilight Missions, higher New Game+ difficulties, Blacksmith services and the Abyss endgame. Useful farming depends on the player’s current mission access and which gear tier they have reached.
