How to unlock the Kodama Leader achievement in Nioh - Definitive Guide

Nioh has 150 Kodama Collectible Locations. There are 6 regions in the game and each has 25 Kodamas scattered across main- and side missions. As you play through the story, new regions will unlock. The regions are (in this order): Kyushu, Chugoku, Kinki, Tokai, Sekigahara, Omi.

At shrines you can select Kodama Blessings. They are divided into 5 categories: more amrita, more weapon drops, more armor drops, more elixir drops, more material drops.

Each of these blessing categories has 5 Kodamas per region (5 categories x 5 Kodamas = 25 Kodamas per region). The more Kodamas you find the stronger the blessing will become. Your Kodamas reset in every region. When you go to a region, you have to find 25 Kodamas again to earn the blessings. The Kodamas in old regions are still saved but have no effect in new regions.

None of these collectibles are missable. They can all be obtained via mission select at any time (even after beating the story). When you scroll over a mission, it will show how many Kodama you've found. To see your total progress press Touchpad – Titles – Gameplay Record – Other – Kodama found (%). Please note this gives only a percentage and not the number of collectibles found.

If you missed a Kodama, don’t worry. A lot of side missions & Twilight Missions take place in the same area and you can find the Kodamas there, too! They are in the same locations.

You can also speedrun the mission quickly and quit out after finding the Kodama (use item “Himorogi Fragment”). All collectibles are saved instantly. You don’t have to reach the next checkpoint and don’t have to pick them up again if you die. You can quit the mission immediately after finding whatever Kodama you've missed.

The spirit guardian spirit “Shinka” and “Tengen Kujaku” have an ability called Kodama Sense. Some other items have it too, and it reveals the Kodama locations via green dots on the radar. This can make it a bit easier to locate them.

You need to knock out from mobs (randomly) a talisman-amulet with the parameter - Kodama Sense. Place it in a cell and block it so you don’t accidentally sell it. And quickly go through all the missions without video guides

When you complete the additional task “Seven Good News”, you are given a head item called “Kodama Bowl”, when you put it on > Kodamas will be displayed on the map.

Having collected the kodama, you can safely teleport from the level.

look at the selected items, if the item has the “kodama sense” property, when equipping this item the kodama will be displayed on the mini map

Each altar on the level has a kodama counter of the "found/total" type. For example, in the first mission (in Japan) the counter at the beginning is 0/9, i.e. at level only 9 kodama.
The kodama themselves look like little green men with plates on their heads. You can see their appearance in the menu by selecting “options” (don’t go into them, just move the cursor to them).
There is nothing difficult in finding green little ones. They are usually easy to see because they are quite bright. But they like to hide behind objects, so search carefully. Alternatively, you can rely on hearing. Find one Kodama and listen to the sound it makes. In the future, it may help not to run past the green baby.
And if you come across an item (for example, a magatama) with the “kodama sense” property, save it and equip it to search for kodama on the level. When equipped, Kodamas begin to appear on the radar (upper right corner) as green dots.
Some guardian spirits have the same property.
