Nioh 3 Currency Guide: Where to Find and Spend Yokai Teardrops
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A comprehensive guide on locating and spending Yokai Teardrops in Nioh 3, detailing the best farming methods including kappas and hot springs, and where to trade them for valuable skills.
Diving into Koei Tecmo's latest Soulslike means getting acquainted with another in-game economy, and Yokai Teardrops are an essential currency to track from the early hours onward. While they start dropping early in Tokugawa Takechiyo's journey, their true value takes time to reveal itself. Players will want to hoard these items for unlocking rare gear, essential consumables, and vital skill upgrades as the difficulty ramps up across different regions of the game.
Farming these drops requires keeping an eye out for specific environmental hazards and wildlife. The most reliable method involves hunting down kappas, the series' signature loot goblins sporting shiny gold shells, which trigger a rewarding loot explosion when defeated. Players can also secure a quick couple of teardrops by locating and using hot springs for a brief heal, though these are one-off sources. Chasing down wandering Scampusses and clearing optional content like crucible wraiths and boss fights will round out your inventory nicely.
Once your pockets are full, you can cash in your earnings at any Sudama merchant, with the most accessible purple-helmeted vendor located in the Eternal Rift. Heading over to the exchange tab lets you swap your teardrops for memorandums to increase skill capacity, secret abilities, and other valuable items. For a deeper breakdown of how to optimize your build, you can check out the original guide over at Polygon.
