Nioh 2 has 49 Types of Yokai Enemies that you must kill for the Yokai Quelling Master trophy. This guide shows where to find all Yokai Enemies in Nioh 2 with images of what they look like.
None of them are missable, you can replay missions at any time. If you clear out all missions of enemies you’re sure to kill a few of them along the way.
To see how many times you defeated each of them, press Touchpad > Titles > Gameplay Records > Small Yokai defeated. The Large Yokai are all automatic story bosses and unmissable. The only hidden enemy type is the Mujina, which sometimes jumps out of treasure chests, but it’s very rare.
