Kodamas are little green Yokai that are found throughout the world of Nioh 3. Interact with them to 'guide them home' (they will go own their own). They emit distinct, squeeky sounds. Listening closely will help you find them!

Guiding Kodamas home will give you Kodama Merits, which you can use to distribute levels to each Special Effect listed above in the Kodama Blessings menu at Shrines and Bodhisattva Statues.

These Special Effects are always active, and are adjustable in the Kodama Blessing screen; you may raise/reduce levels for each Special Effect according to your needs.
