Nioh 3 has extra treasure chest designs and different interactable services with rewards, so it could be getting harder to foretell a Mujina’s look. However we’ll share what we’ve noticed to organize you for such encounters.
The fundamentals for coping with a Mujina
As regular, you’ll first have to get used to opening the Gestures menu (R1+Choices on a PlayStation controller, or G on a PC keyboard). If you wish to be very secure, you’ll be able to attempt a Whistle on the entrance of each massive chest you see, however we’ll get again to this in a while.
In any case, as soon as a Mujina has sprung up, until you assault it instantly, it would first mimic your present look and loadout. It is going to then do a gesture, and you might be purported to reply with the very same gesture. Nevertheless, it has been recognized that Mujina will solely confer with the first web page of your Gesture checklist. Whilst you can put any of your favourite Gestures there, the defaultly positioned “This Approach” and “Taunt” might transfer a bit too equally, so it’s possible you’ll need to swap one in every of them away to a different web page.
You solely have one likelihood to get it proper. Should you do it appropriately, Mujina will soar fortunately and go away rewards with none struggle. In any other case, you’ll have no selection however to kill the mimic to get no matter is meant to be within the treasure chest.
However with Nioh 3 now having two separate builds (Samurai & Ninja) to your character, it’s possible you’ll need to benefit from this by Whistling along with your weaker construct, after which switching to your essential construct after Mujina has mimicked the previous simply in case the worst case occurs.

The primary time you full a profitable gesture quiz, you’ll unlock the Overjoyed gesture. Should you fail, you’ll be able to as an alternative unlock the Annoyed gesture. Notice that you will additionally want to truly kill a mimicked Mujina 3 instances to have its further entry registered within the Yokai Encyclopedia.
Upon getting performed all the above, for all subsequent encounters with a Mujina, you’ll be able to solely anticipate a number of random drops, in addition to a uncommon likelihood of a Mujina Soul Core and a brand new ability or martial artwork if it is from a brand new map-marked chest.
How one can inform a Mujina Chest
Although Nioh 3 has added Treasure Chest marks on the map, these nonetheless will not distinguish chests that host a Mujina. Nevertheless, you’ll be able to nonetheless make the most of the recognized technique of observing the chest’s design.
The same old black treasure chest normally has 2 gold platings on every nook, so if it has 3 gold platings on every nook as an alternative, you’ve a constructive ID on a Mujina chest. Nevertheless, the sequence staple black chest now solely seems within the Heian period map.
The Warring States and Bakumatsu period maps function a distinct chest design. It will likely be harder to determine a Mujina chest at first attributable to already having 3 gold platings with all the flowery ornament ropes. Nevertheless, we’ve decided upon nearer inspection {that a} Mujina chest may have its gold platings slightly displaced, particularly the topmost ones.
The Antiquity period map has yet one more chest design, but it surely doesn’t have any Mujinas, not to mention any Nigitama friendlies to our recollection.

One of many new doable encounters will occur at a Six Jizo group that has a obligatory providing field. Should you’re very stingy and solely donate a penny or two, a Mujina will you’ll want to shock you if it resides there. However once we examined a extra beneficiant amount of cash like round 1,000, the Mujina can simply present up merely with none shock assaults.
A fair much less frequent scenario can be when it’s important to discover a lacking Jizo head, as a Mujina can and can disguise itself inside that very head. We seen at the least two events of this occurring within the Heian period map (south of the village in northeastern Sagano) and the Bakumatsu period map (close to the Mibu Temple essential gate shrine) within the preliminary run.
