Level Up Quickly Nioh 3 Amrita Strategies That Work
This guide gives you everything you need to turn every minute in Nioh 3 into meaningful progression. If you want to stop getting stuck on bosses, stop wasting time on inefficient runs, and start turning loot into levels, follow the methods below. I’ll cover the mindset, the exact mechanics to exploit, the best early and mid-game routes, how to stack bonuses, and how to convert excess gear into a steady stream of Amrita. Read this once, then bookmark the shrine you’ll use and run it until your build is complete.
Start by understanding the single most important truth: Amrita is a currency that scales with enemy value, proximity to checkpoints, and several additive multipliers from gear, skills, and offerings. The fastest farms are short loops that let you kill a high-value enemy near a shrine, reset, and repeat. That simple loop is the backbone of every efficient run.
To make that loop sing, you need to stack every available bonus: equip Amrita Earned effects, use skills like Vital Spirit, carry the Extraction Talisman, and convert spare gear into offerings at shrines. These multipliers compound, and when combined with a tight route they produce exponential returns compared to random exploration.
How the offering trick and Familiarity work — every weapon and armor piece has a Familiarity meter. When you use a weapon even a little, its offering value jumps significantly; you do not need to fully max Familiarity to get a large Amrita return. Equip a spare weapon, hit a few enemies to raise Familiarity, then offer it at a shrine for a big Amrita payout. Repeat with other spare items. This turns loot overflow into reliable experience.
Core setup checklist before you farm
Equip any gear with Amrita Earned effects; these are additive and often found on accessories or armor.
Activate Vital Spirit or similar skills that increase Amrita gain.
Carry the Extraction Talisman (Gaki Chief Soul Core or equivalent) to boost drops and Amrita.
Set Subjugation Title Prestige points into Amrita Earned if you have that option.
Choose Toyotomi Clan if available for a small persistent boost.
Enable Auto Pick-up to avoid downtime between kills.
Plan a short loop: one high-value enemy near a shrine is better than clearing an entire map.
Why short loops beat long clears — long clears have more enemies but also more downtime: travel, looting, and respawn waits. A short loop that kills a single elite or miniboss near a shrine minimizes downtime and maximizes kills per minute. With the right multipliers, a 30-second loop repeated yields more Amrita per hour than a 10-minute clear. Community tests show shrine-looping can reach hundreds of thousands of Amrita per hour when optimized.
Early-game best spots and how to run them — in the opening regions, look for missions with a shrine placed just outside a room that contains a patrolling yokai or a miniboss. The tutorial-adjacent mission often has a Yoki or similar enemy that respawns reliably and yields solid early Amrita. Kill it, fast-travel back to the shrine, pray, and repeat. As you unlock the Crucible and replayable Battle Scrolls, those become excellent mid-game farms because they’re designed for replay and have concentrated high-value enemies.
Mid-game and late-game farms — once you have better gear and skills, target areas with elite yokai like Ippon Datara or other named enemies that drop large Amrita. Crucibles and replayable missions often contain such enemies and are ideal because you can replay them without redoing long approach sections. If a boss or elite has a predictable patrol or spawn pattern, exploit it: lure, backstab, burst, then reset.
Weapon Familiarity offering loop — pick up every spare weapon you don’t plan to use. At a shrine, check the offering Amrita value. Equip the weapon, kill a handful of enemies (you only need to move the Familiarity needle a little), then return to the shrine and offer it. The offering value will have jumped dramatically. Repeat across multiple spare weapons to convert loot into thousands of Amrita with minimal effort. This is one of the highest-efficiency tricks for mid-game leveling.
Skill and clan stacking explained — skills like Vital Spirit and Invigorating Arts add percentage increases to Amrita earned. Subjugation Title points can be reallocated to boost Amrita Earned. The Toyotomi Clan pledge often grants a small persistent percentage bonus. These stack multiplicatively with gear effects and talismans, so always equip them before a farm. If you have a consumable or buff that temporarily increases Amrita, time it to coincide with your loop for maximum effect.
Consumables and temporary boosts — use any consumables that increase Amrita or enemy drop rates. If the game provides a temporary buff that increases Amrita gain or enemy value, use it before starting a long farming session. Time-limited boosts are best used on your most efficient loop to maximize return on investment.
Shrine etiquette: when to spend and when to hoard — always spend Amrita as soon as you have enough to meaningfully increase a stat or unlock a skill you need. Dying risks losing your accumulated Amrita, so bank progress frequently. However, keep enough Amrita on hand if you plan to use it for a specific respec or purchase that unlocks a multiplier (e.g., a skill that increases Amrita). The general rule: spend to secure progress, but hoard if a short-term investment yields larger long-term gains.
Auto Pick-up and quality-of-life settings — enable Item Auto Pick-up to reduce time spent looting. This small setting change reduces downtime between runs and increases your kills-per-hour. Combine this with a fast weapon that clears the target quickly and you’ll shave seconds off each loop, which compounds into large gains over time.
How to choose the right enemy for a loop — prioritize enemies that: (1) are high-value (named or elite), (2) are near a shrine or checkpoint, (3) have predictable movement or spawn patterns, and (4) can be killed quickly with your current build. If an enemy can be backstabbed or stunned for a quick burst, it’s a prime candidate. Avoid enemies that require long animations or long approach times. One elite kill every 30–60 seconds is better than three small kills that take the same time.
Example optimized loop (template you can adapt)
Fast-travel to shrine.
Equip Amrita Earned gear, Extraction Talisman, and Vital Spirit.
Equip a spare weapon you plan to offer later and hit a few enemies to raise Familiarity.
Kill the elite/miniboss quickly using burst and Ki management.
Return to shrine, pray, and offer spare weapons for Amrita.
Repeat until you hit your target level or run out of time.
How to handle deaths and graves — if you die, recover your grave as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the higher the chance someone else or another event will make recovery risky. If you can’t recover immediately, consider resetting the area and returning with a safer approach. Always plan your runs so you can bank Amrita frequently to avoid catastrophic loss.
Using Crucible and Battle Scrolls — replayable Crucible missions are designed for repeat farming. Use Battle Scrolls to replay high-yield runs and focus on the boss or elite spawns that give the best Amrita. These runs often have checkpoints inside, reducing the risk of losing everything on a single death. If you can clear a Crucible quickly and consistently, it becomes one of the best long-term farms.
When to stop farming and start leveling normally — farming is a tool, not a lifestyle. Once you’ve unlocked the key skills and a few stat thresholds that make your build comfortable against the next set of bosses, switch back to normal progression to enjoy the game’s content. Overfarming can make the game less fun and reduce the satisfaction of overcoming designed challenges. Use farming to bridge gaps, not to trivialize the entire experience.
Advanced tips and micro-optimizations
Rotate between two or three loops to avoid boredom and to exploit different enemy types.
Keep a stash of spare weapons of varying rarities to maximize offering returns. Higher rarity items yield more Amrita when offered after raising Familiarity.
If you find a patrol pattern that resets predictably, time your approach so the enemy is in the optimal position for a backstab or burst.
Use Ki Pulse and defensive skills to minimize mistakes; fewer deaths mean more uninterrupted loops.
If you play co-op, coordinate with partners to clear elites faster, but be aware that Amrita distribution changes in multiplayer—solo runs often yield the most efficient personal gains.
Build considerations for farming — a farming build prioritizes speed, burst damage, and survivability. Equip weapons and skills that let you kill the target in one or two windows. High mobility and Ki recovery are valuable. If you plan to backstab or exploit openings, invest in skills that increase backstab damage or allow quick repositioning. Keep a backup defensive setup if you need to survive a surprise attack.
Converting loot into Amrita efficiently — don’t sell everything for gold. Convert unwanted gear into Amrita via shrine offerings. Use the Familiarity trick: briefly use a weapon to raise its Familiarity, then offer it for a much larger Amrita payout than selling. This is especially effective for mid-game when you’re drowning in drops.
Session planning: how to farm without burning out — set a target (e.g., gain X levels or Y Amrita) and stop when you reach it. Use short sessions of 20–60 minutes to keep runs focused. Rotate loops and take breaks to avoid repetitive strain and boredom. Farming should feel efficient, not like a second job.
Troubleshooting common problems
If enemies stop respawning as expected, fast-travel away and return to reset the area.
If you’re dying frequently, reduce the loop difficulty or invest in defensive skills and HP.
If offering values aren’t increasing, ensure you actually used the weapon enough to move Familiarity; a few kills are usually enough.
If Amrita gains feel low, double-check that Amrita Earned gear and skills are equipped.

FAQ
Q: What is the single fastest way to farm Amrita? A: The fastest method is a tight shrine loop that kills a high-value enemy near a shrine, repeated with all available multipliers active: Amrita Earned gear, Vital Spirit, Extraction Talisman, and offering spare weapons after briefly raising Familiarity. Short loops minimize downtime and maximize Amrita per minute.
Q: How does weapon Familiarity affect offering value? A: Familiarity increases a weapon’s offering Amrita value quickly; you only need to use the weapon a little to see a large jump. Fully maxing Familiarity is unnecessary for the offering trick—partial use yields most of the benefit.
Q: Should I farm solo or with friends? A: Solo runs usually yield the most efficient personal Amrita because you control the pace and pickups. Co-op can speed clears but may change Amrita distribution and reduce personal gains. Use co-op for fun or when tackling content you can’t solo, but farm solo for pure efficiency.
Q: Are Crucible runs worth farming? A: Yes. Crucible and replayable Battle Scroll missions are excellent mid- to late-game farms because they contain concentrated high-value enemies and internal checkpoints, making them repeatable and low-risk.
Q: How often should I spend Amrita at shrines? A: Spend frequently enough to secure meaningful upgrades and avoid losing large sums on death. If you’re close to a level or skill unlock that improves farming efficiency, prioritize that purchase. Balance safety with strategic investments.
