Nioh 3 All Lesser Crucible Locations

Nioh 3 contains 23 Lesser Crucible Locations. Finding all Lesser Crucibles unlocks the Lesser Crucible Eradicator trophy & achievement.

Lesser Crucibles are combat arenas that will spawn waves of enemies. Defeat all enemies, then destroy the red crystal that’s blocking the path. Each increases your Spirit Force (stat required to use more powerful Guardian Spirit Skills). They also open shortcuts that let you fully explore the rest of the regions to reach other collectibles. An easy strategy is to use summoning seals and throw Ninjutsu from a safe distance to clear out the enemies.

The Lesser Crucibles get marked on the map automatically with a 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.
