Gear, Crafting & Progress

This page bundles Nioh 3's gear systems, crafting one-offs and progression milestones. Most are single touches of the Blacksmith (forge, Soul Match, remodel) or natural progress (level 10). The two real tasks are the level-100 grind (the platinum's longest pole) and the world-completion silvers — capturing all enemy bases and unlocking every shrine and Bodhisattva Statue. None are missable, so tackle them at your own pace, NG+ included.

Grizzled Veteran

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Reach level 100.
TypeBronze
GoalLevel 100

What it asks

Hit character level 100 — the grindiest single trophy in the platinum.

How to earn it

  1. Spend Amrita to level up; it accrues from kills, missions and exploration.
  2. You'll likely be in the 80s–90s after a full completionist run; mop up the rest in NG+ (Shogun's Journey) or by replaying high-Amrita missions.

Pro tips

  • Replaying a fast, dense mission with an Amrita-boost setup is the quickest way to close the final levels.
