Palace of the Damned | Nioh 2 Wiki

 Palace of the Damned

Mission Start Text

"What in the world...!? I expected the gate to the palace to be heavily guarded, but there is not a single soldier in sight. What there is no shortage of is a dark energy emanating from within. If Doman awaits us there,  I do not foresee us walking out again without a terrible struggle. But no matter, Though great danger may lie ahead, it is imperative that we forge ahead and find him."

Mission End Text

"I have returned to my own time, with the Soul Core box in hand. All that remains inside is a single paper crane, ragged and frayed from the repeated clumsy folds it has been subjected to. But there is no time to ponder the crane's meaning. I must turn my attention to the 'demon slaying youth' that Yorimitsu spoke of. It brings to mind the tales of demons my mother would tell me when I was a child, I sense that these tales will somehow lead to my next destination..."
