Nioh Guide: Twilight Missions explained - Unlock Requirements, Rewards & more

While Nioh's main story takes you on a fairly set path throughout the game's map, Twilight Missions are a little different. They're basically harder variants of the regular missions you'll complete during the course of the story, but there's a twist: they're only available for a set period of time.

The Twilight Missions that are available will change every single day, and there'll only ever be two Twilight Missions available at any given time. This can lead to some frustration early on, since the day's Twilight Missions might be ones you haven't yet unlocked, but later on in the game you'll have access to pretty much all of them and be able to head on in for some super-challenging combat in familiar locales. 

Twilight Missions really are for the best of the best, and so we recommend sticking quite close to the level of the mission, which is indicated both in the menus and in our list of the missions below. Each Twilight Mission carries some fairly decent rewards with it, so they're well worth doing, especially as you reach the latter half of the game where you might want to put some energy into grinding. Enough nattering, anyway - here's the list:
