You have two options to choose from each time you spot the Hyakki Yako.

  1. Approach the swarm - you'll be transported to an arena and face a large group of Visitors.
  2. Walk away - each swarm moves slowly on a predetermined path. They won't chase you, so you don't need to worry about them.

If you decide to take on the Hyakki Yako, Akito will be transported to a separate arena. Various Visitors will spawn in there as well. You'll face common enemies at first, but later on you'll have to fight some elite monsters posing a serious threat.

During the battle you have access to all your powers, your bow and all your consumables. Defeat all the Visitors in the swarm to return to the real world.

On the arenas you'll find ether which restores your energy and red crystals you can blow up when the enemies get close to them.
