Nioh 3 contains 13 Crucible Spike Locations. Finding all Crucible Spikes is needed to fully upgrade the strength of your Guardian Spirits. They aren’t needed for trophies/achievements.
Crucible Spikes are small red crystals that you interact with to destroy them. They are similar to Lesser Crucibles, but are guarded by fewer enemies.
The Crucible Spikes get marked on the map automatically with a small red spike icon
when you find other Collectibles to reach Exploration Level 4 within a region. On the map press
to view the collectible tracker for each region. You can then put a marker on them and follow the compass to locate them easily.
Nothing is missable, all areas are still explorable after the story in free-roam and all missions are replayable through the Battle Scroll at shrines.
