The Village of Cursed Blossomsis the first main mission inNiOh 2.
This page contains a walkthrough for this mission.
The first shrine
Gozuki is patrolling an open space at the end of this path.
If you are unable to escape from his reach or you get attacked, use the block.
Note:Gozuki behaves just like Mezuki, the boss you face at the end of the quest.
Therefore, fighting it can serve as practice.
Head towards the purple tree.
The path forks here.
If you go left, you will come across a closed gate.
fire up the gate, before you go any further.
If you die, you won’t have to follow the same long path again.
Another Gaki is just beyond the bridge.
You reach an abandoned cottage.
A good strategy for Gaki is to run to the opponent, attack a few times and then retreat.
As soon as you unlock the passageway, you will encounter first Rogues.
Be careful not to provoke a fight with more than two at the same time.
The paths are narrow which makes dodging difficult.
The second shrine
You will reach the second Shrine.
Soon, you will reach a village.
Once you reach the path, go right.
There, break the chest and kill the archer.
The second one leads to the roofs in the village[2].
Wait behind the first roof until you hear a shot by the archer located on the nearby building.
Then quickly run to that enemy - the enemy won’t have time to shoot again in your direction.

After you defeat him, you should get a bow.
Use it to kill the guard standing nearby - one shot in the head is enough.
Then jump off and kill the second opponent.
Going further, you will encounter another bridge.
The guardian shouldn’t be a problem for you.
Use it and eliminate the remaining enemies on the roof.
The only path is guarded by Enki.
After the battle, kick off the gate on the right.
If you go to the left, you will be able to challenge a Revenant.
If you head to the right, you will reach a group of Rogues.
The easiest way to defeat them is to kill the archer first.
There you will have to eliminate three Gaki.
Eventually, you will encounter Enki located in a building.
Lure the enemy to the courtyard to give yourself more room for dodging.
The third shrine
Defeat Enki to purify the area.
Enter the temple and take the key to the gate - it lies next to the corpse.
The strategy for this fight can be found on a separate page of the guide.
