Those Who Live in the Shadows is a quest in the game Nioh 3. This is a rather difficult quest that can confuse you if you don’t know the exact sequence of actions. I also recommend reviewing the material on where to find Blood-Spurting Ogin in Nioh 3.

Who Live in the Shadows quest

To start it, you need to go to the location I showed on the map. Open the door and go inside, where you will hear the voice of a mysterious ninja and the mission will begin. Your first task is to find clues about the suspicious man. This is very easy to do. Right next to the stone, you will find what you need.

Pagoda Key

The next task is to investigate the abandoned temple. Follow the path I have marked on the map. You must destroy the Crucible Spike along the way. After that, you will receive the Pagoda Key. You need it to continue the quest. Without this key, you simply won’t be able to get the next item to access the final part.

Deserted Village Key

Next, there is a short path to the pagoda. Here, you will need the Pagoda Key to enter. You will see a ladder; climb to the second floor. There will be another ladder here. Climb to the top floor. Be careful here, as there is a difficult enemy in this room that you must defeat. After that, you will find the Deserted Village Key here and your quest will be updated.

Speak with mysterious ninja

Your new task is to investigate the hideout. I have shown you the route on the map. You will have to defeat many enemies along the way. When you reach your destination, you will meet the mysterious ninja again. After talking to him, you will continue on to the next destination together.

Ninja Yoki boss

The route you will take together will also be filled with battles with yokai. Eventually, you will reach a locked house. This is where the final showdown of this quest will take place. Once you enter, three ordinary yokai will appear, which you must defeat. These are not difficult opponents, but you need to act carefully so as not to take too much damage from them. After the victory, the boss Ninja Yoki will appear. Only the developers decided to call him the boss. It will be easier for you to defeat this opponent than the previous three. This is because there is only one boss and he has a very small health bar, which quickly runs out from your attacks.

After winning, you need to talk to the mystical ninja to complete the Those Who Live in the Shadows quest and get your reward.
