Kodama Description in Nioh 2

  • " A Kodama is thought to be a tree spirit that transformed upon coming into contact with human tools that have been lovingly used for great periods of time. While the tree spirits are deeply connected to the gods who govern this earth, they are largely emotionless beings. A Kodama, on the other hand, brims with curiosity, much like an innocent child. It tends to grow attached to the human tool that gave it new life, and will not part with it willingly Some even say that the yokai is not the tree spirit, but the tool itself."
  • "Driven by its curiosity, the Kodama finds its way into many unusual places. However, perhaps due to its arboreal origins, it has a poor sense of both direction and distance, and often loses its bearings. If you ever chance upon a disoriented Kodama in your travels, direct it to the nearest shrine- a Kodama never forgets its debts, and its deep connections to the gods will surely pay off eventually."

 

Kodama in Nioh 2


Kodama occasionally wander away from their shrines and become lost. If you tell these lost Kodama the way back, they will return to their shrine. Returning a Kodama to a shrine will allow you to gain the Kodama's Blessing in the Shrine Menu and increase the number of elixirs granted by the shrines in that region.

Note: missions' Kodama collection progress is saved immediately each time one is guided back to the shrine. This means that if you miss one or more Kodama in a mission and want to go back to get them, you can start the mission, find the Kodama you missed, and then use a Divine Branch Fragment or Divine Branch to leave the mission without actually finishing it (beating the boss, etc.). The Kodama you collected will still be counted.

"Kodama are neither god, nor yokai. They inhabit trees, and also man-made objects as well. They have childish, adorable appearances. Kodama generally remain near the shrines of their forests, but occasionally become lost and wander."
