So, in this article, I will try to list all the bosses and difficult enemies in Nioh 3. I will divide them by region and category to make it easier for you to find them. I will not describe the strategy and features of each boss here, as it is impossible to do so in one article. For example, here is an article on how to defeat Jakotsu-baba, and so we will collect information on each enemy in the game. In this article, I will show you the locations and bosses only in Bakumatsu.
