Nioh 3 Ver. 1.05 Update 1/2

■New/Additional Elements

・ Added the new Stone of Penance element.

This feature will be unlocked from the opening mission Escape from Hitokoto Slope onward in the Shogun's Journey difficulty level and can be used at shrines. The player can exchange an accessory for a Stone of Penance, which will strengthen enemies and also slightly increase the drop rate of high-rarity equipment while it is in use. Defeating enemies under these conditions will increase the Stone's Penitence level. Once the Penitence is maxed out, the player can offer the Stone in exchange for rewards and their previously offered accessory, with the accessory potentially receiving enhanced traits.

Note: During multiplayer sessions, the effects of strengthened enemies and increased drop rates activated by the Stone of Penance can be enabled or disabled via the room settings.
