Nioh 3 - Escape From Hitokoto Slope 2
Once you get near the large tent, remember to pray at the nearby Shrine to save your progress. Before you fight Yamagaka Masakage, raise your stats and collect randomly dropped Elixirs by farming the nearby yokai. You can do this repeatedly by praying at the shrine, which respawns the slain yokai.
3 When you've leveled up and collected up to 4 Elixirs, you should equip your best gear and summon a friendly NPC at the blue Benevolent Grave using Ochoko Cups. This NPC will help you in your fight against Yamagata Masakage!
4 Entering the tent for the first time triggers a cutscene, and afterwards a battle with Yamagata Masakage. Trigger Burst Break as much as possible and beware of his wide reaching attacks.

5 After completing the boss fight, interact with the defeated Yamagata Masakage to progress the story.
