Nioh 3 has a lot of collectibles and points of interest, one of which is the Hot Springs located throughout the different regions. Hot Springs have been in the Nioh series from the first game, and their importance and function stay the same in the third installment.
After finding a Hot Spring, players can interact with it to fully restore their missing health and also get a temporary buff that restores a small amount of health every few seconds. This is quite useful when players have a lot more exploring to do before they eventually find a Shrine. The guide below includes the locations of all the Hot Springs in Warring States, which is the first map in Nioh 3.
