Clans | Nioh 3 Wiki

What are Clans in Nioh 3?

Clans in Nioh 3 are groups that participate in Clan Battles for a chance to earn Glory. This feature becomes available after unlocking the Hidden Teahouse in the Eternal Rift.

• Joining a clan allows you to receive each clan's Clan Protection. Acquiring Glory while allied to a clan will increase your position within that clan and enhance the Clan Protection.
• After joining a clan, you will be unable to transfer allegiance to another clan for 8 hours.
• The clan you are allied to and its Clan Protection are not particular to individual save data files, but are managed by your player account.

When engaged in a Clan Battle, each clan and its allied members are separated into Red and White camps that complete to see who earn the most Glory within the allotted time. Whichever camp ends with the most Glory will be declared victorious. The winning camp receives most of the Glory as a reward. Each clan battle's reward can only be obtained once per player account.

How to Unlock Hidden Teahouse

Hidden Teahouse becomes available by progressing the main story, specifically progressing The Battle of Saigagake. Upon the request of Ii Naotora, you will head north, which will prompt a time travel to the Heian Period, 1190 CE. Once completed, fast travel to the Eternal Rift and go to the southeastern house to find Matsunaga Hisahide sitting. Talk to him to learn about Clan Battles, Clans, and Glory.

Aside from unlocking the Hidden Teahouse, you can now also receive quests from Matsunaga Hisahide. You can now also pledge allegiance to a clan and participate in any upcoming battles to earn Glory.
