As you make your way through the incredibly challenging world of Nioh 2, you will come up against a wealth of challenging enemies, level hazards and many many deaths, hot springs, give a nice bit of respite from the challenge, allowing you time to sit in a hot bath of water, regenerate some health and get ready for what comes next
