Your natural reaction may be to whip out your weapon and slay it, or try and use your Ki to purify it, but nothing will work. Instead, you’ll be told that the Purple Kodama in Nioh 2 “Seems to want something.” Here’s what to give the Purple Kodama in Nioh 2.

What To Do With Purple Kodama in Nioh 2

When you see the prompt that the Purple Kodama seems to want something, all you need to do is open up your inventory and drop any kind of item. The Kodama will make its way over to the item and pick it up, before dropping a new, different item in exchange.

Drop it and in return, for some weird reason, the Purple Kodama will give you a bunch of rare items in return. Who knew carrying around a load of dung would turn out to be so worthwhile?
