How to change appearance in Nioh 3

How do you change appearance in Nioh 3? You may have thought making your character was a one-and-done kind of deal. But, fortunately, if you get partway into your adventure and decide the hair isn't quite right, or you want to balloon your proportions into caricaturish territory (because it's funny), it is possible to switch up your style.

The re-customization feature allows you to also make use of all of the amazing Nioh 3 character customization codes that have been floating around since the RPG's demo launched. We've already seen some amazing recreations, so we're not surprised you're here if you want to add a little more 2B or Vergil to your shogun story. Below, you'll find all the steps you need to take to change appearance in Nioh 3, as well as how to unlock the feature.

To change appearance in Nioh 3, head to the mirror in the Eternal Rift. From there, you'll be able to re-enter the character customization menu, change the appearance of your equipment, or transform into another character (this final feature won't be available to you initially).

To gain permanent access to the Eternal Rift, you'll first need to defeat Jakotsu-baba, the boss of the first major Crucible. This'll happen around six to ten hours into the game, depending on how much exploring you do. Once the evil that's plaguing Hamamatsu Castle is defeated, you'll receive the Guiding Mirror from Ii Naotora. This will let you travel freely between the Eternal Rift and the overworld.

Once you enter the Eternal Rift, head towards the shrine and up the stairs. In the corner of the top floor, you'll find the mirror. When prompted, click 'Change Your Appearance', and it'll present you with three options: Change Appearance, Equipment Appearance, and Transform. Pick the first option, and you'll be back where it all started, leaving you free to sink yet more hours into the most important part of Nioh 3: the character creation menu.

And that's how to change appearance in Nioh 3. If you're wondering how long Nioh 3 will be, all told, our dedicated guide has a solid estimate based on the hours we've put in so far. Spoiler: You'll have more than enough time to change faces like Arya in Game of Thrones a few more times before your journey reaches its conclusion.
