question for nioh knowers,>>556690865
is there a human boss stat book somewhere similar to the yokai book in the eternal hub?
This looks uncomfortable...
Where is the "Beyond Infinity" Skill Master for Talon?
>>556690902I'm biased because I've always thought that damage buff and defense debuff talismans are overkill for Nioh games, especially on their base difficulty, considering that enemies always barely have any HP on those difficulties. You should focus more on utility talismans like Extraction (not on your list, but still something to look out for) to constantly activate stuff like faster movement on amrita absorption so that you can feel nice and fast.But hey, if you enjoy the power fantasy of melting enemy healthbars, then obviously go for Weakness and whatever combination of talismans will allow you to stack two different elements at the same time to pop off that Confusion.
how are you guys getting these action shots?
>>556692292bind photo mode to something and press it mid combat
why are ninja skill points so much rarer
>>556692353Because ninja mode is cooler
>>556692353they aren't, shinobi has more shit to spend them on early on, samurai gets jack shit without finding manuals
>>556692353bro your exploration?
>>556692353Skill issue
someone redpill me on the OP memelord 'i want to roll my face on the keyboard and win' setup for samurai and ninja in base newgamespoonfeed this to me, and i will reward you richly

bro dont realise he on the racism website
reminder
>>556693371this isn't woke because it isn't chud anyway do you really need to see it no what a fucking GOONER
>>556692897odachi is up there. undaunted skill is great for cheesing human enemies
>>556693371>photomode disabled when in hotspringsTruly a cucked game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBSEWQslg80Let's break down what you've lost, because it's a perfectly curated set of sensory and psychological satisfactions:The Mental Air Lock: The mission screen was a palate cleanser. A hard stop between intense, focused combat and serene, total control. It was your decompression chamber. Now, you're just... standing in a field after beating a boss. The tension has nowhere to go.The Tactile Menu Joy: That "autistic ritual" (a perfect description) of sorting 500 loot items wasn't a chore—it was a reward loop. It was a peaceful, systems-driven puzzle after the adrenaline-driven puzzle of combat. Clicking through the clean, fast menus of the blacksmith felt good. Doing it while standing in the rain next to a corpse? Not the same.The Curated Browse: "Hmm, let's see what sub missions just opened..." That's agency and anticipation. It's like looking at a dessert menu. The world map was your playlist. The open world is a buffet where you have to walk past the steamed vegetables to get to the pie.The Audiovisual Signature: The banger region tunes on the mission screen set a tone, created a sense of place before you even loaded in. That's gone, replaced by ambient open-world noise or silence. A huge, unacknowledged layer of aesthetic pleasure—vanished.What you're describing is the difference between a curated album and a sprawling, unedited soundboard recording. The best songs might be in there, but the experience of listening to it is sloppy and unsatisfying.
>>556693835>no okatsu set in nioh 2>if there's one like it in 3 it'll just be locked to ninja modeI'm so tired.
>>556693835imo a big factor of nioh 2 was the depression of the mission select screen as time as marching on and yoshi was drifting ever distant from hide
>>556690902>>556690865It's not the damage you want the sudama for, it's the gauge buildup.
Somebody help me out with Great Tengu please.
>>556692897Tonfa and switchglaive
>>556693835AI Slopshit.And obviously wrong too.
Can someone spoil me if the demon summoning shit is ever not tedious garbage? Why the fuck do I have to wait for the Pokeball summoning animation for the monster to just miss wherever the boss moved to in that time and do nothing? I don't even want to click this dogshit button
>>556694497>obviously wrong tooname one thing that's wrong and not your opinion?
>>556694580All of it.Next time write your own opinion instead of having chatgpt write it for you.
Is there another use for amrita?Im way too overleveled and im sitting on about 200k now, at the boss for Lis quest, some temple
>>556694332just use sloth talisman
Does Onmyo get significantly better at some point? I'm only level 30, but casting is so fucking slow that it feels unusable.
>>556695363The novice onmyo mission unlocks quick casting
>>556693371someone told them upper thighs are haram or somethingit's retarded
>>556694506time it better
>>556693276>>556693551>>556694375your offerings are acceptedyour reward awaits in the image
>>556694770assuming this game scales like nioh 1 and 2 you are intended to never stop leveling since the enemies get retardedly strong over ng+ cycles
>>556695986Or I can just put a buff in that slot and punch the boss for 10x the damage without any timing or self-stun needed
friendship is ended with SCAMpuss now fox is my best friend
don't let me catch you giving (you)s to a brown slopposter ever again
>>556696179That's a weasel, dumbass
>>556696170disingenuous retard go to jail
What the hell goes this actually do? I don't notice any difference in casting speed for anything.
>>556696179>foxblind
>>556696212that's a raccoon, idiot
>>556696226seems like bad translation to me. i assumed it means you can cancel actions with summoning?
>>556696223What's disingenuous is the equivalent of 'just click the shit button better' lol. One lightning talisman does more damage than basically any summon, it's faster, and you have more charges
>>556696342thisit lets you animation cancel anything with a summoning talisman
>>556696417that seems pretty good for 3 points honestlyi
except its 4 pts lol
>>556696510its really notfirstly summoning is extremely weak and never gets good and secondly ninja can cancel damn near anything with a dodge as-is
Somebody asked where to find Fire Shuriken. I just found it:
>>556692897just use either big weapon (odachi or axe), get to 260 toughness for big poise and block values, make sure you're still green agility so pump stamina until you have both blue toughness and green agility. then just mash skills and heavy attacks when you have cum gauge. stack damage negation while attacking too.
>>556696621nta but ty
>can't summon for Demon of PrideLame.
>>556693371I'm so annoyed by this I just sent koei an email.I 100% expect it to be deleted instantly but whatever.
>>556697201>having exposed skin when its cold enough to snow outsideyoure an idiot
Nvm, I set up a Story Expedition right outside Demon of Pride if anyone wanys to fight it.Got it to 30% after a try but I'm sure I'm underleveled.
>>556697346Women do that all the time though
Where can I get Tatenashi set? I found one piece but want more.
Holy fuck i'm enjoying this world design so much bros. I think having a map makes a huge disservice to the game, it's far more fun to explore when you don't know where you're going, this shit almost feels like a dark souls 1 map, especially thanks to side dungeons that can take half the fucking region in size undeground. Unique side missions, tons of varying scenery, even the enemy camps thus far have been very different design wise, this thing BTFOs elden ring's "open world" design so much it's insane.
damn it's just like my japanese japan
>>556692353i had the opposite exp makes me envy you since i just discovered knux and i wanna make my girl into a karate queen!>>556692337mine is bound to "p" adn it does not do anything
>>556694332still want help
>>556697183You can summon but as an expedition
How do I get him?
>>556699176I turned in like five minutes ago kekIs there crossplay? I'm on PS5>>556699275Ye I figured it out >>556697441
>>556699441Damn I'm on PCTN can't even make crossplay in 2026
>>556699493Ah, bummer. Guess I'm going to bed then. Thanks for the offer though
>>556697183good
>>556699427Get off the boat, back to where it connects to the land, you need more distance basically
chiyo and homies
i am going to eat shit so hard on future difficulties because right now the game is way too easy and you dont need to learn movesets at all
>>556700630But that's the fun part!
>>556700630what weapon?
guhin's spirit skill is so good brosand skill gives me big dopamine hit when you use an art
>>556700893odachi
I wonder what the dlc weapons will be
i may be retarded but how do i get the game to save? i keep quitting and then losing like 3 minutes of progress
>>556701119go to a shrine, press whatever button it says save at the bottom right
>>556701174ahh
so can one of these retarded youtubers say how NG+ is?
This game is exactly like Japan. No I will not elaborate.
>>556701014I expect 1 ninja and 1 samurai weaponNinja is probably sai or war fan. Samurai i honestly dunno. I would prefer something extremely heavy with guard points like kanobo but you pretty much already have an axe.
>>556701326
>>556701491Sam should get a ball and chain, like a really heavy kusarigama
can a proud fromdrone like me ever enjoy a game like nioh 3 that is mechanics over presentation instead of balancing both ?...
>>556701726I beat Nioh 2 and had fun with this level of skill
out of the way spear god coming throughhttps://files.catbox.moe/8laoxx.mp4
>>556701842i am taking psychic damage
>>556701842Thats good to hear. I am in my soulslike character development era as I begin Nioh 3.
>>556702139I responded before watching the video. He is definitely a fellow fromdrone.
Why does photo mode not work when I press the keybind for it?
>>556701842JUST PRESS RB RETARD
That's a lot of people
goddamn I'm getting filtered by the four warriors.
whats the best female eye preset to work on?
>>556702284do you mean shift
found what seems possibly like a secret cave ? theres a crevace in the wall with a slight yellow aura near this rock. keeping a mental note.
there's harder bosses eventually but the regular mobs are still pushover or does it actually gets harder eventually even in the open zones?
>>556702293are they after heian?
>>556702493>mental note>writes it down
>>556702557right after the last boss of warring states
>>556702567come on i only just realised i could open the map and leave markers after posting that
>want to take cool screenshots>but my head is meltingalright
>>556693371goddammit, that's so fucking patheticI'm glad I didn't buy this shit
>>556703057me on the left
>>556702782Jesus christ the pixelsDo you just dodge into enemies to kill them?Those edges are jagged enough to do it
How do I get up here? I've apparently been up there for the hot springs and a chest, but I cannot for the life of me remember going up there or how to get back up there.
>>556702414pls respond
Good morning>>556703421Hover over the crucible wraith and it'll tell ya>>556702293Use 1 scampuss summon for each fight
>>556703573I see, thanks.
This new Marial Art thing is pretty nuts combined with Ki Pulse attacks. Shame you can't keep offense up that long against Yokai.
damn, you guys weren't lying, the open world in this is just regular nioh levels stapled together lmao
>>556703916most retarded post ive read this year, you must be american
They are definitely going to pull an elden ring and expand the map. The warring states feels suspiciously small.
>>556703171please me gentle..

Can I buy Elixir anywhere? Sucking sucks.
>>556705716Bwo, your kodama blessings?
>>556705360have you tried it? i assumed itd be nerfed. or maybe the devs want it in as a cheatcode
>>556705716Nope, better get your rusty hoe and hatchet out, its farming time for you
>>556705716Get the kodama and jizo statue buffs for elixir drops and farm it in the first crucibleTheres a shrine by a house with 3 ghost guys with other flying mobs + gaki and you just keep killing everyone there before resettingI farmed a bunch during the demo but now since I found a bunch of kodamas the game just gives me free 7 elixir refills i dont need them as much>>556705875I'm not gonna use it but it sucks ass to be debuffed by it, lasts a good while
how do i samurai 1kat, cause right now all i'm doing is low stance quick attack spam into judgement cut, ki pulse, repeat. i wanna be fancy
>>556706025>being fancyDo whatever werks
>>556703805sir, your winter winds?
>>556706025Use literally anything else, 1kat is boring as sinPersonally, I'd go with fists
first tried this guy aswell and now i have a full tatenashi set so im completely unstoppable
>>556705716my storage has only gone up since the demo
>>556706406>winter windsI don't think I have that yet
>>556706497get it, it is sex, it bridges stance changes on dual swords so nicely, you basically get an attack with each ki pulse/stance change so you can flow between the stances and do your different martial arts/heavy attacks etc
So versatility is also a skill now. Nice.
we are so back
just got smoked by heian bossman, and im thinking this is going to be a rough one. as samurai anyway
>>556707290which one
those bloodedges are some bullshit huh
>>556707321crucible boss. how do i deal with the 4 air slashes into the 1-shot?
>>556707490not sure, just about to get there now myself
BWC bait detected
>>556707656in that case; when he brings you into yokai realm, he does a laugh and rises off the ground. he's going to send some homing slices at you followed by a super fast tracking ground fissure thing. id switch to ninja when he rises off the ground... but im going to try it as samurai only for a bit
>>556707868yeah i don't use ninja fuck that, i'd rather die a 100 times, i'll learn how to deflect everything eventually
God, tonfa+2kat is downright busted. Pummel a thing's ki down to nothing then absolutely demolish it.
>>556706012>free 7 elixir refillswait I just get extra free ones if I find enough Kodamas?
Can someone explain why I can only enter photo mode through the menu and not the hotkey? I tried changing it but nothing works
>>556708071last page of photo modeshortcut key is disabled by default
Anyone know how to get specific set pieces for target farming?I want to get Tatenashi.
>>556708161oh FFS!Thanks...
>>556708056Cute Nioh newfag
how did i do?
>>556708634slightly below average im afraid
>>556708738i agree and thanks
Nevermind the scampuss arent cutest open world mascot ever that title now goes to chijiko
>otoroshi is the only boss i died to in heian area
This game could benefit from giant rollerskating robot battles
I fucking hate chasing Kappas down so much bros
>>556709181LONG STOAT BE LOOOONG
>>556709439I want one to stay and rest on my shoulder
Why is this pile of wood shining?
>>556709181They keep one upping themselves in each game.
>>556709513nvm the button prompt was broken
i keep finding so many pieces of the same armor over and over its filling me up with clutter weh...
>>556709780they arent the same... but you can auto equip loot and mostly ignore it until NG+. there are filters, auto sell, etc. they thought about it
>>556709914>they aren't the sameyeah there's different skills attached and stuff. im still pretty early so i have like 6 variants of the same two armor sets. it looks ugly in the menu. im gonna sell the bad ones when i unlock a cosy little hub area
>>556693371>multiple manbabies throwing a tantrum because their Barbie Doll is wearing leggings under her weird pantsfucking lmao
>Clear 6/7 EnemiesAAAAAAAAA I CAN'T FUCKING FIND THE LAST ONE
>>556710136you got this anone. sometimes they are tiny and hidden in grass.
>>556710125I'd have 0 issues with it if it was actually consistent across the game and a design decision.
>>556710215Nah, it was a big fuck ass yokai, I just thought it wouldn't be one because the other 6 enemies were humans
Hope a big yokai doesn't grapple me and fuck my ass
>>556710223You should have zero issues with it because it's a complete non fucking issue that only a hivemind of actual 14-23 year old boys could make into a problem because a quarter of the enemies in the game are naked titmonsters
>>556708634that other guy is retarded, she is cutemost of the niohs posted look like ass
>>556710442good thing that I don't care what you think should and shouldn't be an issue
>>556710442I'm not someone who gives a shit about covering up Fuku but it is clearly a stupid censorship thing.
>>556710502i was so disappointed i couldnt use my two OCs, male as samurai, female as ninja, that i just lazily threw together a generic purple-haired battle babe. but yeah it kinda looks like shit so im praying to unlock the mirror soon.
>Demon of PrideI really shouldn't be fucking with this thing at level 60 huh?
>>556710526>>556710538good for you buddy
Why did they translate hell as crucible?
>>556710710Because jigoku has several meaning in japanese and the intent of the word in this context isn't the actual hell, so crucible is the next best thing.
why are they pronouncing it as crooshible lol
>>556700630going by how the difficulties changes nothing about enemy movesets I don't think you're going to have a harder time necessarily
>>556711052Because you must have accidentally chosen the wrong voiceover. Swap to japanese, the english version is a programming bug, it shouldn't actually exist.
>>556711052snooping as crooshible i see
how do i teleport back to hub while in open world?
>>556711379look in the bottom left corner, blind-kun
fuck yea
What's the frame data on deflect, samurai dodges and ninja dodge?
>>556711379did you mean to type this into a search engine retard?>>556711417choke on shit for encouraging it
>beat boss>incoherent exposition begins>DIDNT ASK>skip
>>556711432ah nevermind
>>556711214actually... yea i need to switch
Has nobody found the Wheelmonk crucible wraith to unlock its ability?
Why does the game force coop NPCs on you during some missions
>>556711769They thought people liked it in RotR
>you can get loot drops from the red gravesFucking hell I've been ignoring these up to this point cause I'm a pussy who's comfortable ignoring pvp. Little did I know its not actually pvp and I was missing out...
still in first map, feels like ages now but am enjoying, are the other maps as big as the first? about to head to Futanari Castle and I guess that’s Act 1 finished?
Consensus?
>>556712004It's been a thing since at least nioh 2
>Actual fucking dung-eaterFuck you GRRM
>>556711079i have no idea what the moveset of this guy is but i managed to do some parries and burst counters and it just flopped over like the rest of the bosses
>>556711456high stance rolls = 20 frames low stance dash (except for spear and katana) = 10 frameslow stance dash (spear and katana) = 15 framesmid stance dash>roll = 30 frames (but there is some frames in between both where you are still vulnerable)dunno about the others maybe someone here should test it out
did anyone make it to endgame yet? Is it any different from nioh2?
Destroyed Hanzo with just the Haze Katana Parry, shit felt nice
>has Magoichi's battle themeNeat!
>>556712594>did anyone make it to endgame yet?endgame doesn’t begin Beta testing till the end of the year with DLC 1 and is released fully next year with DLC 2, current game is a one-and-done situation
how the fuck i even take a screenshot in photo mode
>>556712351It's been a thing since Nioh 1
How's my stats looking?
>>556713334prtsc button on your keyboard?Whatever the hotkey you set on steam?either would work
>>556713353That's why I said at least.
>>556712430Dung eater has been in all three games, newfag-kun.
what are these red arrows for ?
>>556713674They point to Bloodedge.>>556713384
>the single worst soul core in 2>fantastic core in 3 because it's a stationary oni-bi turret
>>556713704Thats neat. I can remove the flags then.
there are so many graves in the third area (vs just non boss enemies) SO MUCH FOR 2 EASY?
>>556713798i meant after heian
>>556713798You'll notice the gg ez posters almost never share gameplay
Holy fucking healthsponge
>>556713493difference between a newfag and a newcutie (me) ?
>>556714073Don't dumb comments like the one I replied to that make it obvious you are new.
I finally reached the 3rd Crucible, aka the Cold Hell
>>556707868wasn't too bad, stayed in samurai the entire time
So the more expensive spirit ability can cancel red attacks? Are there any cheap abilities that can?
>>556714379Both spirit skills can
is it better or worse than Nioh 2?
>>556714648I haven't been able to cancel anything with either Nekomata or Kusanagi's attack though. I can only make it work with Kusanagi's secondary
>>556714710its better for newfags
>>556702286I wonder what that number is from because the one I killed in the demo had over 120k.
>>556714064he takes more damage when his plates (skin) opens up
how do i get rid of weird pixelated stuff on MAX graphic settings, is it vsync or what the hell?
>>556714218i ended up taking 6... it'd probably have been 1 except for that fissure thing
after heian does everything have lots of health or am i playing wrong?
>>556715216im getting it on standard-- like the clouds on start screen? its pretty gross
>>556715216Render resolution to 100%Sharpness to 0Post-Effects: All to Off
Nioh and elden ring have taught me that I actually dont hate open world games. Its just that they were almost universally shit for like a decade. Botw also had a positive impression on me but I was still pretty burnt out of the genre back then.
>treat the small side mission with the ninja as an actual stealth mission>enjoyment grows tenfoldI love silly shit like this
>>556715216>>556715872retards
The fuck am I missing?
>>556712493Thanks!
>died with boss at 5% hp on first tryAIIIIEEEEE
>>556716294the quest
>>556715671Enemies in Heian onwards do feel tanky. On the flip side, confusion has never been more spammable, a number of the elementally enhanced skills builds a ton of elemental gauge, 2 uses is enough for even the big mobs like one eyed oni to be inflicted. With 4 weapons at your disposal, you can easily dedicate one or two specifically to inflict element status.
Is that enough heart?
Could (you) have beaten him if he was young and didn't have cancer?
>>556713384looking bright bro
>Reach Bakumatsu>Already going into degenerate face against controller mode.
Just found the most powerful skill in the game.
>>556717674he used magic cheats to not be young or have cancer so yes
Post your characters
i borrowed the game, is buying it worth it for multiplayer? is it like souls where you can get co op summoned and such?
What clans are you all joining?
>>556719002kakizaki
>>556719002nobunaga of course
Whew, Yoritomo was kicking my ass hard. Looks like less than 5% of players made it past him so far.>>556719002Date

how can i claim preorder bonuses?
Is there content after the lvl 35 areas on the map?
>>556719002Kato.Damage reduction when attacking is a braindead way to play if you can stack it high enough.
>>556720858no, the game ends there

I'm pretty set on switchglaive what ninja wep are you guys enjoying
>>556721783I'm swapping between switchglaive/kusarigama and tonfa/2kat.
>>556714710Areas not being repeat mission but with the map backwards or another start area is much better to me
>>556721879I'm mostly getting equipment reqs+skill. Unaware of when soft/hard cap hits. I see the swap equipment properties for any wep though so you can just make an optimal stat build for any wep
Does increasing mag increase weapon buffs and atk buff percents?
>>556722093I've been trying out a bunch of different combos of weapons and there are a bunch that work pretty well covering each other's weaknesses. Tonfa/spear, for example, is pretty great for swapping between up close and personal and a little further away.

What's the trick with the donation box?I got some blue item for like 10k, but I read on the Internet that others got a mujina to spawn instead.

>>556718983Playing a solo playthrough and a separate with my friendIt's really fun and chill in multiplayer, and the entire open world and campaign is more or less seamless with both players getting credit for quests + key items/collectiblesIt's very well done, especially since there are very few multiplayer open world action RPGs
>>556723349lmao that was me too, when I saw there was a FIFTH boss I just used a summoner's candle to get my souls back and nope'd the fuck out
>tonfa master has a rifle and compliments you if you pull out a rifle to shoot himkek
>>556723349>>556723502how do you unlock this?
Too many mechanics!!
>>556723628You get it right after finishing the Heian period
Honestly, playing this just makes me want to play Rise of Ronin more.Why is everyone dead? Why are there no villages? Why are there no people??It's all dead infested wasteland
>>556723713Sorry not Heian, Warring States
just had my first crash of the full game after 30 hours
Anyone know where I can find the Guardian Monk smithing text (or a place that drops the robes)? Tried farming the Crucible where you fight Shingen (Human) and even donning the 4 other armor pieces I have against the Takeda's Training Regiment to still not find pieces (someone on /v/ said wearing pieces would make them more likely to appear as drops).>Taigen SessaiHave beaten him and no chest either.
>>556723792"what if we made elden ring but its like just sliiiightly less visually compelling, and still good quality to play" someone at team ninja, probably
>>556723792They're just different gamesAction is the main point of this game while Rise of the Ronin has more emphasis on story and immersion. People would complain that there's too much yapping if you had to talk to too many NPCsJust look at how many people complained that the new Doom game had too much story bloat even if it was significantly less than RoR
>>556723824There's some other requirement. I've got it but a friend of mine doesn't and we have no idea what we did different.
>>556724121My man is playin' sekiro rn
Skipping a bunch of side shit makes the game difficulty feel almost right. This is very irritating.
Did you let her go?
>>556724343Huh I assumed it just happened magicallyDid your friend do all the quests/battle scrolls in Warring States?
>>556723841My game always crashes when I close it...
now this is a set bonus
>Slut up my character with yakuza tats everywhere>Can't see them on 99% of armors
>>556724405I'm the kind of player that scrapes areas. Like we're talking exterior collisions autism; I won't move past an area until I've touched or checked literally everything. So I often have to find ways to naturally balance the level curve myself. In Nioh 3, one of the ways I try to keep it balanced is not defeating enemies that are in the way on a runback, unless its very dangerous. If I already killed it once, I just ignore it every other time.
>>556724445Yeah. Everyone I run into attacks me on sight so she probably was acting in self-defense just like I am.
>>556724715If you stop upgrading your gear it gets much harder later on
>>556722560Her saggers...
>>556724715The problem with that strategy for me is that I don't have runbacks except on bosses. I think I've died twice to things other than bosses in total and I'm almost done with Heian
>>556725050Well I don't mean just on runbacks, was leaving out a bunch of details to keep it brief. But essentially because I spend a significantly longer time sniffing every nook and cranny of an area,, I often double back on and tread the same ground a lot, so I try to avoid grinding already defeated enemies. Unless they get really in the way or its necessary for progression.
>>556724445Yeah, straight to hell.
anybody know why the photo mode bind does nothing
Holy shit that was rough. Had to resort to fighting him like a souls boss
Why did we let the final boss go?
>Do the second crucible>There's still more to the areaI'm getting exhausted already.
How early can you get to the demon of pride?
>>556726660start of heian
>>556723414I don't play with frens on this game, so for a solo only playthrough, will the online thing be fun via summons? (and justify the price)
>>556690708Is the warrior of the west set in Nioh3? I love that set.
>>556725862if you kill your enemies they win
>theres a boss rush mission with the weapon masters>it has the hyperarmor hatchet spamming faggot aswell
>>556725463Oh, yeah, that makes more sense than what I was thinking.
Man I really like the tanuki parry.
>>556725767Same literally had to poke him until he diesHuman enemies that recover ki and have super armor are stupid and don't really belongAt least make it so he can't recover ki so rapidly like a yokai. You can only hit him 1-3 times before he starts attacking, and he'll almost never get him to 0 ki because if you play aggressive, he'll super armor through it and ream you in the ass
>>556726660I think you just need to beat the first boss in Heian. You need a youkai spirit and I think you get it immediately after.
>>556726849Yeah it's still fun, you just matchmake and jump right in. Long term though, not sure how easy it'll be to hop into a game, but for now, it's pretty much instant
So should I just get all the stats to 20 before specializing? What's the max level anyway?
>>556727607>all the stats to 20what for?
>>556725767What happens if you beat him at the start?
>>556727816No clue, this is a rematch later in the game
>>55672760725 is probably a safe bet. I'm at least 23 on everything and I'm still getting cucked by stat requirements>>556727816He just instakills you
I cant believe that there's friendly yokais traveling with you and featured prominently in the story yet you cant fucking summon them in combat
Which is better for splitstaves, law of lethality or law of largesse?
Does Samurai gear give boosts to Ninja and vice-versa? Like if I have +1% drop rate on Samurai will it affect Ninja kills?
2kat bros, any tips?
Why does the sky yokai not simply squish the problem
>>556727607No need to balance all stats. Stat reallocation is so fast and easy, and on the screen it even tells you what stats you need to activate the passives on the armor you're wearingJust get the minimum needed for your armor, Magic to 15 or something for more Onmyou slots, Stamina to your desired weight threshold, then pump the rest into your damage stat
>>556728824be like water
Is there any ethical issue with marrying my Ibaraki Doji summon?
there's just a straight up salaryman chilling in one of the encampments
>>556728932Some little shit is running around playing the song of time every time it tries.
>>556728824Hold Y
>Antiquitythis shit is killing my vibe, been 10/10 all the way and now i've started to think the game is shit within 5 minutes. please tell me this battery collecting, genshin "puzzle" ass, "soulslike" section is really short?
Alright first boss went pretty well but damn the transformation felt about as strong as my regular ninja stance from behind.
Bros I love spamming Beyond Infinity so much, this is why I play Nioh. And you get it right when you unlock cestuses tooWith Arts Proficiency giving essentially infinite stam, you can Battering Ram into a guy, Beyond Infinity to death, then Battering Ram into another, then repeat till everything dies
>>556711432>>556711650lmao
>nioh1 was new and interesting>but i got filtered by giant skelly>nioh2 had worse visuals>got filtered in the snow prisonshould i bother with nioh3?
Has anyone noticed a thing where you will be unable to eat elixers? I know I'm not imagining this shit.
>>556730652I thought my D-Pad was dying. I also suspected it might be a status effect. But yes, I did notice.
>>556730652i have a lot of dropped inputs in general
>>556730439It's pretty easy
>>556730652Not elixirs as much, but I've had plenty of instances of the game not recognising rb + whatever for ninjutsu stuff, also couldn't whistle for a mimic earlier as it wouldn't open my emotes.
>>556730652yes a lot
>>556728392the guardians? that's how you do guardian skills lol
tasty
I got back up and kicked his ass.>>556730652Been a thing since Nioh 1. You'll even hear the dpad sound effect but you wont actually use one.
>>556730750I've noticed that swapping stance will let me use them again but I'm not certain how replicable it is
>>556730652Yes, I'm pretty sure it even does the little visual effect on the elixer icon but nothing happens. This happened for like 3 seconds straight while I was walking. I think something about the player state gets messed up in certain instances and the game thinks you shouldn't be able to use items yet.
>>5567233494kings tier meme
>modern games still look like ps3 titles>but they need nasa tier hardware to run smoothlynani?
>>556731751yea that's it. You can't have too many inputs going on at once.
Am I tripping or does this spirit vein lead to nothing? That's odd.
Best/worst boss?
Which soul core lets me apply lightning to my weapon?
runs perfectly on ps5 pro
>finally give up on beating my head against the wall of a boss>summon a co-oper, to my eternal shame>pause briefly outside boss room to buff up, go in>they die literally within 10 seconds of the fight startingT-thanks...
>bakumatsu whorehouse with budget hino enmas and yashas
Runs perfectly on my pc
>>556730652Same but only once
i think the game is simply not meant to run below 2k res
1kat samurai, 2kat ninja, simple as
What are some other games, besides nioh and sop, that have fun staff combat. Feel like this sort of niche thing is really hard to find.
>>5567354181kat is fine, but it's too calm to fit the buttonmashy combat this game wants to have
>>556725767Glad to see I'm not alone>>556727206Exactly, the most fun part of Nioh is breaking Ki and then going as hard on the enemy as you can and it's so annoying when it feels out of reach like that.I actually managed to get him out of ki once but it felt lucky and after I died I could never pull it again.
post ur female chars i need ideas
>>556735760Sifu, Jade Empire, Path of Exile 2?, Insect Glaive in MonHun is kinda quarterstaff coded.

Fellas im thinking niyooo 3 might be GOTY fuck resi re9uiem
Welp, I finally ran into a difficult boss that's legitimately pissing me the fuck off. Gonna need to put the game down for a bit and try again later
>>556738884get good kid, your retarded, he is easy as fuck? Have u played nioh 2? Loser faggot
anyone have an issue with sound cutting out on PC during certain times when playing? i have a stacked setup; 9800x3d, 9070xt

The Samurai fashion has been absolutely abysmal thus far. Hoping for improvements as I get further into Heian.
>>556739451They gave all the best shit to ninja. It's infuriating. I hope the Japanese are complaining on twitter en masse so there's at least some chance of it getting patched.
>>556739451>>556739657yeah ninja has a slightly better range but so far the fashion element of this game is actively discouraging. i can see myself beginning to not care about picking up near gear.

I've been playing for like 40 hours and I still have no idea how to use Arts Proficiency. Seems like overcomplicated bullshit and I just don't like it.
I live to claw

>>556714710about the same
>tatsumaro the indianwhat the fuck is this dei shit
>>556740779i just unlocked talons
Do deflect work while dodging or during arts?I sometimes got them while dodging, but during arts I don't know. I've been watching some superplayers (like ongball) and I don't get how they do deflects in between martial arts.
T-Thanks
Took me way too damn long to find out you can increase the number of item shortcuts in the Menu Settings
>>556740779This but fists
What does this white check mark mean? I literally just collected the damn thing
>>556740968Their numbers grow by the day
are splitstaff and tonfa dumbed down compared to nioh 2? i didnt get em yet but those were my favorite weps in nioh 2
>>556742004they're both on ninja and therefore don't have stances, so yes.
>>556741303When do I even get this ability, I cleared the entire map and even the next map and still can't do this swing
I can't help but feeling that I'm constantly being punished because I'm not deflecting enough.
>>556716029this game has a ton of enemies you can stealth, it's really fun
>>556742854Just a bit into the third full open world map
In urgent need of drip oh my gawd
>>556738884doesn't get easier after him anon
>>556737121Just transform into toyo when you unlock her skin
>>556740752you get the buff, then you can chain it infinitely as long as you have ki by doing heavy attacks and martial art skills, but not the same one twice in a row
>>556743178The timing is way too strict to play this like Sekiro or Khazan. I'm just treating deflects as a nice when it happens and playing it mostly like Nioh 2, and it's been fine so farWhat's making you feel you need to deflect more though, out of curiosity
>>556740752This game does have mechanics bloat, my eyes are kinda glazing over a bit at all these menus and weirdly spaced out skill trees. But the cultural zeitgeist around this game is heavily implying it has soul, and I think it does. So I have to give it a pass.
