Nioh 3 has an incredible spot to farm Amrita early in the game. This allows you to level up your stats very quickly before you get too deep into the story. It works best in the beginning, but it stays useful even as you reach the middle of your journey.

To start, head south from the Tenryu River where you begin the game. Look for the Tokaido region and find the Ikeda Ferry shrine. This will be your home base for the farm.

Preparing the Loop

You can do this with any build, but a Ninja setup is faster because of the movement and sneak damage in Nioh 3.

Equip the strongest weapon you have. The goal is to kill enemies as fast as possible to keep the loop going. If you do this well, you can earn between 50,000 and 70,000 Amrita per hour. The higher number comes from offering the items you pick up for extra experience at the shrine.

Executing the Farm

Start at the Ikeda Ferry shrine and run west. You will see a group of enemies. Lock onto the one on the left, stop a bit short, and crouch. Walk up behind him and perform a backstab. As he gets up, stay behind him and to the right to keep landing back hits for extra damage.

Once the big enemy is down, quickly clean up the smaller ones. If you are level seven or higher, you should be able to melt through them pretty fast. If an enemy is out of reach, you can use Kunai or Throwing Stones to pull them in or finish them off in Nioh 3.

After the enemies are dead, grab the loot they drop. This is also a great way to stock up on Throwing Stones. Run back to the shrine, pray to reset the enemies, and immediately start the run again.

Each loop takes very little time and gives a solid chunk of Amrita. Just keep repeating this cycle until you have the levels you need to tackle the next big challenge.
