* Hide introduces themself to Tokichiro and later Saito Dosan by dramatically and partially unsheathing their inscribed dagger, AudibleSharpness included. It is such a memorable shot that so many players use this scene to show off their character customizations.

* Mumyo's introduction. After Hide's killed a greater yokai, Mumyo ambushes them with the intent to sweep them up before the fight can even start, leading to a brief but intense clash with Hide's instincts trying to keep up from getting caught off guard from her tricky switchglaive, only getting her back for it when Tokichiro enters and distracts her for a moment.

* Daigo Temple begins with Hide working their way through a beautiful garden, but the mission doesn't ''truly'' start until you release the first of many encased remains of Tokichiro's conscience. Climbing your way up a steep hill, chunks of land rise into the sky to set the stage. Cue the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v39mZlZAkjI music]].

* Darkness In the Capital's final main mission, "Palace of the Damned", sees you team up with [[WorldsStrongestMan Abe No Seimei and Minamoto No Raiko]]. Which is frankly a dream team.

* One awesome thing in Nioh 2, is the new melee finisher you can do on Yokai. When they're staggered, you can run up to them and just stab them right in the face. Feels especially cathartic if you played the first game; as you can also do that move on returning enemies that gave you a hard time- like the Namahage, Rokurokubi, or those bastard Raven Tengu's.
