Nioh 3 Myths are optional missions that take place alongside the main campaign. Completing all 39 Myths unlocks the Answering to the People trophy.
Let’s see what you must do to discover all of them!
Nioh 3 All Myths List
Most Myths unlock as you complete main story missions. However, there are also hidden Myths that are not marked on the map and Myths that become available as follow-ups to other Myths. Nioh 3 has a free-roam mode in which you can explore the map once you have finished the story. The Battle Scroll option lets you replay missions. These two options allow you to complete any Myths you might have missed and unlock the Answering to the People trophy achievement in a single playthrough.
