How to Unlock Disguises

To unlock disguises in Nioh you must complete the Spider Nest Castle main mission (Kinki region). Once you have done this you must then enter the hidden teahouse from the starting point on the map (where you also access the blacksmith). Select 'Trade', then 'Transform'. Now choose a disguise you want to purchase and select 'Transform' in the hidden teahouse. The disguise you choose will overwrite your current outfit.

Unlock New Game Plus

After you have completed Nioh a new main campaign level will appear and to unlock the Nioh New Game+ mode you will have to clear this level. New Game+ is titled Way of the Strong and in it you can revisit the entire game using the region selection menu. You can also choose the mode for that region. Only the first three missions will be accessible, to unlock the rest you must complete these three missions. In New Game+ mode, you will retain your progress from your previous playthrough and have the ability to level up your Guardians to 30. There will also be a higher chance of random Divine drops and there will be new costumes for purchase at the Teahouse.
