Enemy Bases in Nioh 3 are areas filled with numerous enemies, most of whom are fairly easy to deal with. Some of these bases have Yokai in them, so there is a chance the areas are covered in Dark Realms and can only be removed by clearing the base.

The Yokai bases in some cases, also have a more powerful threat that players can fight after all the other enemies are defeated. There are 6 Enemy Bases in the Heian era in Nioh 3, and all of their locations are listed in the guide below.

Some of the enemy bases in Heian are tied to the myths, so players will have to accept and complete these to gain access to the enemy base and more collectibles.
