 Against All Comers

Mission Start Text

"It looks like there's some kind of contest going on where human and yokai pit themselves against each other. It is a contest that samurai have long participated in. Indeed An jin also once took part. I would say this is as good an opportunity as any to put your skills to the test. "

Mission End Text

"Goodness me! Watching you cut down foes like that was a truly magnificent sight! I know I shouldn’t be surprised anymore, but it amazes me that you could defeat Otakemaru and still thirst for combat. You’re a natural born samurai, there’s no doubt about it."

Against All Comers Walkthrough

Getting ready

This mission is a gauntlet of enemies, both human and yokai. The mission has a total of 9 Waves of enemies, and after every Wave, 1 or 2 Sudama will appear, with the next Wave starting only after you trade items with them. If you die, you will start from the Wave you were prior to your death. Every Wave ends with the Sudama showing up, so you can use that to mark where you stopped, as well as check your equipment. Keep in mind that you cannot go back to use the Shrine between Waves, only if you die. With that in mind, use the Shrine to get ready, and then go towards the beach to start. This guide will be as follows: enemies with a ''+'' sign will spawn together and after killing them, the next enemies will show up.

Wave 1

  1. Human bandit (sword) + Human samurai (2 swords) + Human bandit (2 axes)
  2. Sohaya Warrior (Swichglaive) + Human Samurai (Odachi) 
  3. Enki
  4. Ippon-Datara 
  5. Nure-Onna + 2x Toxic Slime

After this, a Sudama will spawn. Trade with it, and the next Wave will start.

Wave 2

  1. Ninja + Ninja (Bow)
  2. Skeleton Warrior (Rifle) + Yamanba
  3. Waira
  4. Oni-bi (Water) + Oni-bi (Lightning) + Koroka
  5. Saito Yoshitatsu (Boss)

After this, another Sudama will spawn. Trade and start the next Wave.

Wave 3

  1. Gaki + One-Eyed Imp + Ubume
  2. Mitsume Yazura
  3. Human Samurai (Odachi) + Human Warrior (Odachi)
  4. Magara Naotaka

After this, a Big Sudama will spawn. Trade and start the next Wave.

Wave 4

  1. 2x Human Mage + Saika Gunner
  2. Warrior Spearman + Warrior Monk (Odachi)
  3. Female Saika Warrior (Kusarigama) + Female Saika Warrior (Dual Swords)
  4. Saika Warrior (Kusarigama)
  5. Obsidian Samurai
  6. Oda Nobunaga

This time, 2 Sudama will spawn. Do the trade and follow to the next Wave.

Wave 5

  1. Aberrant Soldier + Kappa + Toxic Slime
  2. 2x Wheelmonk (a Red and a Blue)
  3. Saito Toshimitsu
  4. Ryomen Sukuna

A Big Sudama will spawn. On to the next Wave.

Wave 6

  1. Sohaya Warrior (Splitstaff) + Warrior Monk (Spear)
  2. Kiryoki
  3. 2x Small Bakegani + Bakegani
  4. Aberrant Soldier (Wind) + Aberrant Soldier (Water) + Nuppeppo

Wave 7

  1. 2x Human Mages + Ninja (Fists) + Fox Spirit
  2. Yasha
  3. Underworld Soldier + Hellish Hag

      For those that are upset you can't go back to the Shrine between waves, just die... If you make sure you die towards the entrance of the fighting arena (as close to the shrine as you can) you can pick up your grave without starting the event (tbh even if you dont the only issue is the time sink of potentially getting killed late on in a wave). This means you're not wasting time starting the next wave without sufficient buffs etc (only to die at the boss and do the whole wave again).

        Had no issues with this on the lower levels, but the only achievement I'm missing is to beat this on Dream of the Demon, definitely not a fun time.

            I got sooooooo many soul cores and amrita from this mission.
            The only reason I got through the level, AND the ENTIRE GAME was me using 4 quick change scrolls + Amrita life recovery build. It lets me rely less on elixirs and more on amrita (Yokai abilities and depleted yokai ki damage) for healing.

            I quite enjoyed this mission ngl. Had so much fun fighting humans and yokai alike! Although fighting both variants of Otakemaru in the final wave threw me off guard but I soldiered on with my spirit stones like a true ninja :))))

              This actually kinda hurt to do, but I was overleveled by about 20 levels and had a decent build at NG.

              Anyways, with this much endurance I might be able to last as long as your mom

                People complaining about this mission were overleveled as ****. It’s a good challenge and test of your build, but I guess the majority found it too boring and easy doing it at level 500.

                  Awful mission. Haven't hated a mission yet, or even disliked a mission. So needlessly long, plus I didn't know if I'd have to do the ENTIRE thing again if I died, so it was stress for everything past the 3rd wave. After the 4th wave I was like "COME ON, ANOTHER ONE?" and there were FIVE more waves still, each one leaving me feeling more incredulous. Just dumb game design. Let's make you fight 15 or so bosses, including the final boss twice and the other final bosses of the other DLCs too, just for the kick of it.

                    Possibly the most dreadfully boring and unengaging mission in Nioh 2. They said, 'stand in this circle for 30 minutes while we send recycled enemies at you.' None of the fun parts of Nioh (story, exploration, etc.), just the repetitive parts where you fight the enemies you've fought repeatedly in a gauntlet. Could be the worst designed mission in this game.

                      Total 7 waves, which each end with a Sudama(later waves give you larger Sudama and/or 2 Sudama instead of 1). Dying lets you start again on the wave you died on. First few waves are 3 spawns of 2 enemies followed by a named boss. Third to last wave is a number of human bosses(4iirc). Second to last wave is the 4 named demons from the last mission of the The Last Samurai. Last wave is a single, but challenging boss followed by a surprise(I won't spoil it lol).

                      I was level 170something(it took 2.3~mil to level). First attempt got me through 5 and a half waves which got me 11.7mil. I was able to level 4 times lol. Seems like a ridiculously easy way to level, though I need to get onto ng+. Make sure to empty your bags before you come :D
