Twilight and Abyss endgame
Progress the Abyss for endgame equipment
A late-game repeatable path into escalating floors and higher-end equipment rewards in the Complete Edition.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Progress the Abyss for endgame equipment
The Abyss option from the world map after unlocking the DLC endgame.
Before you go
- Own the relevant expansion content included with Nioh: Complete Edition.
- Complete Queen’s Eyes and unlock Abyss access.
- Carry endgame-appropriate equipment, healing, and a build you can manage.
Farming steps
- Open the world map and select The Abyss once it is available.
- Choose an accessible floor rather than jumping beyond your current capability.
- Enter and identify the floor’s encounters and challenge before engaging the boss.
- Complete the floor objectives and defeat enemies, collecting useful drops along the way.
- Fight the floor boss after preparing for the encounter and use healing carefully.
- Review equipment rewards after the clear and compare them with your current build.
- Return to the map or Blacksmith to adjust your gear before attempting deeper floors.
- Abyss floors become more demanding as progression advances; treat a clear as a gear check before pushing deeper.
- Keep equipment that meaningfully improves your build; a high-level drop is not automatically an upgrade.
Repeat, collect and use
Abyss progression is a repeatable multi-floor endgame activity. Floors and rewards depend on progression, and equipment drops are not guaranteed specific pieces.
Common mistakes
- Trying Abyss before completing Queen’s Eyes; finish the access progression first.
- Ignoring floor objectives and challenging the boss unprepared; clear the encounters and understand the challenge.
- Pushing deeper after repeated failures; return to missions or refine gear before trying again.
When to stop or switch
Stop at a floor where clears cease to be reliable, then improve your build or progress other unlocked content before returning.
