The moment players step into Lake Hamana for the first time, a huge yokai will emerge from the water and attack them. Nekomata will appear and ask players to find a way to calm Daidara Bocchi, the yokai, as it is too dangerous. This will start the Disaster at Lake Hamana Myth i Nioh 3.
From the lake's entrance, go right to get closer to the demon. Players must continue forward towards the far vault while avoiding Daidara's attacks. There will be other small enemies along the way, and it's safe to ignore them as they can die from Daidara's attack. You can hide behind rocks in small golden craters scattered around the area, but not as long as the yokai can destroy the cover that protects you.

To reassure Daidara Bocchi Nioh 3players must climb to the highest peak of Horie Castle and return the stone to its place. Be sure to walk between the two tall rocks as this is where the archway leading to the castle is hidden. Activate the shrine and go left. There are some enemies along the way so be sure to take care of them as they will follow you.
When you enter the ruined Horie Castle, take care of the yokai blocking the way to continue to the lower floor. Near the harbor and the boats there are even more enemies. After defeating them, go up the stairs and interact with the shrine. You can rest or level up if there is enough Amrita as there is a tough fight ahead.
From the shrine location, turn left when the door ahead is locked. Players will find another large enemy blocking the entrance to the building and must be defeated. Inside you can rest in a Hot Spring behind one of the doors if needed. Before continuing past the enemy, turn around and unlock the shortcut back to the shrine.
Kill the enemy feasting on the corpse and prepare for a fight. Players can always use an Ochoko Cup to summon a friendly NPC Nioh 3 to help if there are any benevolent graves nearby. You've probably encountered this yokai before, but this is the stronger version. Defeat it and go up the stairs.

On the pedestal it seems that something is missing. By searching the nearby body and listening to their final thoughts, players can gain information about the shrine's capstone. This item is likely the one used to seal Daidara Bocchi. From the body, go left and approach the Lesser Crucible. Defeat the wave of enemies and break the crucible to remove it. The Shrine's Keystone is seen at the top of the stairs.
Hold the Keystone and go all the way back to the pedestal.
When Daidara Bocchi places it in place, he stops attacking and sinks back under the lake, successfully sealed.
This completes the Disaster at Lake Hamana quest in Nioh 3, and you will receive many rewards, including Daidara Bocchi Soul Core and a Ninja's Locks.
Place the core in Yang position allows you to call Daidara Bocchi's head to unleash a powerful attack that can shoot enemies vulnerable. When it comes to putting the core in Yin position gives you Sloth Talisman which can hinder enemy movement.
Completing the Disaster at Hamana Lake will also unlock Horie's Fleeting Petals sub-quest in the Battle Scroll section at the Shrine.
