At the beginning of Nioh 3, you can change your appearance via the character creator. You can change everything from your gender, hairstyle, skin color, and even minute details like cheekbone width and the color of your undergarments. However, if you're not happy with how you created your version of Tokugawa Takechiyo, you're in luck, because you can alter your appearance later on. What's even better is that you can also transmog your equipment, retaining its stats and abilities but changing its appearance.

Here's how to change your appearance in Nioh 3, when you unlock it, and how to transmog your equipment.

How to change your appearance in Nioh 3

To change your appearance in Nioh 3, you must go to the Eternal Rift and find the mirror upstairs in the northernmost building. However, this is only unlocked once you defeat Jakotsu-Baba, the first crucible boss in the game.

When you defeat Jakotsu-Baba, you can fast travel to the Eternal Rift directly from the map. Head upstairs in the northern building, opposite where you'll find the hidden teahouse to spend your Glory and the blacksmith, and the mirror is in the room next to the illustration book.

You'll see the option to change appearance, which will take you straight to the same character creator at the start, alongside equipment appearance, which is how you use the transmog system. Finally, you can also transform, which is how you turn into another character entirely. This won't be available until you actually have a character to transform into, which you can acquire by spending Glory and Yokai Teardrops.
