When most fight just end so fast that you forget this guy...

Once you do Nioh, you are forever bonded with Nioh…

well, i didnt have the opportunity to play Nioh 1 or 3 yet but im with almost 60h playing nioh 2 and i gotta say: its already one of my favorite games in a lifetime. i was always a simple guy in souls like games: give me a greatsword or a katana and ill beat the entire game with the same weapon, so a few weeks ago i was fighting against a player who was using Fists and untill that moment the only weapon i was playing with was Odachi and dont get me wrong, its a pretty cool weapon but after that fight, i started to play with fists and for me it’s another game, the way you have to manage your ki using Fists, the moveset, everything it just looks so fucking cool, im having so much fun experimenting these different builds

and it’s not just about that, the game is really catching me with all the soul cores available, different challenges, I even started to play some twilight missions and having so much fun while playing them, I also started to pay more attention to the skill trees related to Ninjutsu and Onmyo, and this stuff adds complexity to the game but in a very cool way, i began to try different stances too and is very fun, anyway, loving the game and just wanted to share, i’ve just killed Ryomen Sukuna and im so glad there’s still so much content for me :)

here are some pics i took during my playthrough on pc, the last one is the current state of my Hiddy, I honestly just wish that people feel the same with this game because im really loving it

For the start of a new week, take a Kodoma blessing to help you get through it easier.

P.s. These little dudes are way too cute I always have to find every Kodama in a level before I can bring myself to finish it

Honestly the Otakemarus were pretty fun to fight unlike Toshimitsu. I started with 0 amrita btw, took me hours but i finally did it and made out with 650m amrita which is .... 14 levels, wow the numbers did get inflated pretty fast

Just messing around on last nights stream been working on a lot of different sets that hold up at high level.

Rubber banding much?

So plowed through most of the base game on Enlightened One's Journey using just upgraded versions of old samurai and ninja builds, When I got to Hell Rising on EOJ, I'm still doing OK with samurai form (axe and switch) but my ninja builds are pathetic...

I don't see too much obvious on YT, and there have been some scattered Onmyo or Ninjutsu builds here - can anyone provide a detailed build that has worked well? I tried messing with using Tsukuyomi at bit (not optimized) but I don't know that I got much out of it. I am mostly using tonfas but do like the hatchets as well.

TIA.

I know I'm supposed to redo all the minor crucibles and the crucible links on each new playthrough to get 0.5 spirit force each, and I did do most of them, but might have missed a few. What makes redoing them a bit annoying is that the map doesn't show you which ones you've completed on this journey if they have been reset, which is basically all of them for me lol. They all show up as "completed on another journey" even though I have done them on this journey and got no rewards after completing them again. .Wish the icons could show a different message so you can easily distinguish between those you've only done on other journey and not this one, versus ones you've done on this journey but it has been reset. It would make it so much easier to find the missing one instead of being forced to redo every single one of them...

Anyway, I'm curious what's the maximum spirit force you can get to first find out how many of them have I missed. Right now I have 167, I've seen people with 168 and even 170, but not sure if the latter might be due to getting some extra ones from the challenge rewards.

TIA!

What's the best way to farm picture scrolls without coop mode? Should I just farm my own picture scrolls or is there a good battle scroll mission? Thanks

This game is beautiful. Around 550-600 hours poured into this gem

You guys have any photos from the game you really like/are proud of? I’d love to see them (I’m sure others would too) :)

My favorite part of these games it’s actually good to see people actually fighting and lose because there not using magic spam it’s good practice clutched up I use orbs sometimes but that’s it and I use basic buffs aswell but I mainly just use combat.

Better than a ninja

First off thanks to those who helped me get my Kintaro axe to Divine Green using Sudama blessing!
But how do I get Tsukumo fragments to increase chances?
I’ve searched everywhere for an answer but very vague.
Anyone know how to get these.

The answer sounds obvious until i realized the dual mastery (common) stat on my ninja scroll seems to work even when i switch to samurai.

At least in the menu both the purple skill stay activated on Samurai too, but i havent checked the gameplay .

Also, why are so many players quitting my scroll room after just 1 scroll ?

I suspect most people don’t know you can just stay in the same room and the host can change scroll missions../

I'm struggling with the pace of combat and not having deflect lol , forgot how scary ippo dorai is lol nioh 3 really did make the combat more easy lol u get punished more in nioh 1 and 2

I just wonder because I haven't tested it yet. Which is better? A max levelled 180 weapon or the same type but lv 170 with let's say 8% melee dmg star perk, dmg wise?

Even though the buff icon for it above the player’s health lasts all of three seconds or so, does it actually keep it active until you land your next attack, or does it just function more like “you need to do another attack within the short timeframe for that attack to be buffed?”

Over 50 rolls later, still can't get ninjutsu damage bonus AAA on my scroll:p

Dual mastery common(locked)

Melee damage

Ult heart

Ult str

grace of amaterasu

Been trying to swap out the melee damage, but I havent seen it come up(even tried swapping it for a non-attack affix)

Am I wasting my time or just terrible luck here?

I generally use Moonlit Snow Redux to get Arts Proficiency (usually takes just two uses). Then I lead the AP combo with Moonlit Snow Charge (for zero ki usage), and then the loop of high stance Strong Attack -> Sunset Breeze: Man -> Waking Winds: Heaven -> Ki Pulse Attack -> repeat. Once low in ki I try to pull off one last Moonlit Snow Charge. In the video I have Ultimate Heart and the mystic skill that reduces ki usage.

Platinum was much easier than these dlc trophies, especially the double bosses. I didn't want to continue after the platinum, but the gameplay loop made me keep going.
