Kodama explained [Nioh]

When you load up Nioh for the first time, you will see a couple of glowing green creatures wearing traditional Japanese hats playing around before starting the game. These are called Kodama, and they have a big part in Nioh’s gameplay.

What are Kodama?

 

Kodama are non-playable characters in Nioh. They are neither gods nor yōkai, but are sort of like nature spirits that live in trees as well as in man-made objects. They usually stay near shrines, but can get lost on occasion. During the game, if William encounters a Kodama and guides it back to a shrine, he will earn bonuses in exchange for some gold.

The bonuses, or blessings as they are called in the game, are as follows:

Blessing	Description	Gold required
Oracle Blessing	Increases the amount of Amrita (souls) earned	100
Swordsman Blessing	Increases the weapon drop rate	100
Warrior Blessing	Increases the armor drop rate	100
Healer Blessing	Increases the elixir drop rate	100
Healer Blessing	Increases the ammunition drop rate	100
