Being a samurai is all about honing your craft, but sometimes you need to take part in the more literal kind of crafting. Smithing Texts in Nioh 2 unlock rare weapons and armor for the game’s blacksmith, allowing you to purchase them and deal out some extra damage to your monstrous foes. Below, we’ll take you through a list of all Smithing Texts in Nioh 2, and do our best to inform you regarding where they’re found.
All Smithing Texts in Nioh 2
© Team Ninja
We know of over 30 Smithing Texts in Nioh 2, with each unlocking a new armor or weapon at the blacksmith. To get many of them you’ll need to fight certain enemies. They’re rarely guaranteed drops, unfortunately, instead requiring you to defeat foes multiple times in the hopes of an RNG drop. It’s a bit of a pain, but such is the life of a yokai warrior. Try to get the Kodama blessing for materials to increase your chances of a drop before you begin grinding.
