Imminent destruction is the first major mission region 5 in Nioh 2.
This page of the guide contains a walkthrough for this mission.
First Shrine
Getting from the first shrine to the next doesn’t take very long.
First, go to the chram, improve your character and walk towards the big bridge.
On the other side is a second chram.
On the bridge, you will have to fight several opponents.
On the right side, behind wooden cover, there is a skeleton rifleman.
Either kill it from distance, or quickly approach and execute.
Going further ahead, you will find the mist from which Yoki emerges.
Fight, and then0 keep moving forward.
However, watch out for the warrior skeleton if you haven’t shot it down on the mountain earlier.
Go down after collecting the Kodama and continue forward to the second chram.
There’s a door behind Yoki that you could open, but don’t do it just yet.
Go up the ladder.
But watch out for the skeleton that will stand up as soon as you get close to the corpse.
At the very bottom, you’ll see the fog from which Wheelmonk will emerge.
After defeating him, launch the door, which is in front of the chosen opponent.
This will unlock the first shortcut.
Back up and take the stairs up.
By defeating the warrior’s skeleton, you will free the location of the Yokai.
After lowering the ladder, go right.
Inside the room, you’re able to go either left or right.
Go right first, defeat a minor skeleton.
Next, on the right is a door that unlocks another shortcut.

At the very end of the room, entering the new room, you will encounter Tessa.
Go upstairs and go left.
There is another Yokai realm there, and a bell to strike after clearing the location.
This location offers a smaller warrior skeleton, Ippon-Datara, and Wheelmonk.
Take on the skeleton first, and Ippon-Datara last.
you’re able to also hit the bell to inflict heavy Ki damage to opponents in the room.
After defeating your opponents, go to the top.
There, you will find Kodame, who will unlock doors for you.
Go downstairs and pop swing open the door.
Before you enter the room behind the open door, turn right.
There will be another bell, and some enemies to beat.
Shoot down the gunner on the right, and the Yokai soldier on the left.
After defeating them, hit the bell.
Not far from where the Yokai soldier stood, there’s a hot spring.
Rest in there to regenerate your strength and recover health.
Now go to the room where you opened the door.There’s a Yokai realm inside.
You will have to fight two skeleton warriors, Oni-bi and Koroka.
It’s good to shoot down the skeletons and then take on Koroka and Oni-bi.
By killing Korok, you will reset the location.
There is another bell there; hit it, and fire up the chests.
Now go back to the top and go left.
Lower the ladder, preferably rest at the chram and climb up the ladder again.
This boss fight is described in the corresponding section of this guide.
After defeating Maeda, bring up the gate in front of you and activate the third chram.
The third Shrine
At the third shrine, go up the stairs.
By killing him, you will scrub the location of the adverse power.
In addition, there is another bell at the bottom that it’s possible for you to hit.
After defeating all the opponents in the lower part of the location, there is still Nurikabe left.
After defeating him by gesture or normal combat, step forward and pick up another Kodama.
The strategy for this boss fight can be found in a separate chapter.
