How to choose the right gesture for Nurikabe

Many soulslike games have hidden secrets that players may miss during initial playthrough. One of the most popular things that many players have become accustomed to checking are fake or illusory walls that could hide treasures, rare equipment, or even collectibles behind them.

The same could be said about Nioh 3but due to the new exploration system added to the game, the secret walls on the map are marked as Nurikabe. Also in the previous games, these are living walls that mimic the surroundings. Here's how players can open them without being crushed by their sheer weight Nioh 3.

How to open Nurikabe walls in Nioh 3

When you bump into Nurikabe's wall, you'll notice that he has eye sockets that will open and stare at you constantly. Now if you attacked the wall to get over she would crush you and if you were still standing she would fight you.

Since you're often low on health or healing from nearby enemy encounters, you may not want to fight Nurikabe's wall to get past it. Don't worry because there is an alternative and harmless way to get through.

In case you plan to fight against the wall, then you should attack from a distance using your Ninjutsu to gain the upper hand.

When you come to the wall of Nurikabe, you must look around and you will see a red grave. You don't need to summon and fight the Revenant; just hovering over them should give you information about their death. He says: “Crushed to death by Nurikabe for their hostile behavior.” That last part can also be neutral behavior, but the main thing you have to notice is the color of the last two words.

Now that you know the information, stand next to Nurikabe and open the gesture tab by pressing the emote button, which is R1/RB + Start/Options button on the controller. Once you have three different colored gestures in front of you, you will now have to press an emote that doesn't have the color listed in the grave note. In case the color was red, you will now have to perform any blue or yellow gesture.

If you do one of these two and it wasn't the right gesture, Nurikabe's eyes turn redbut will not act. You still have one chanceand you can simply press the other color gesture to make Nurikabe go away and drop her loot.

Alternatively, if you manage to get to the back of the wall, you can remove the talismanwhich makes it disappear.
