Nioh 2 |OT| Dark Soul Cores -- out now on PC, remaster available on PS5
- Thread starter Noema
- Start date
I did a spear game for the basic game and NG+ that was almost exclusively high stance with an emphasis on Piercing Rain / Twisting Spear. It felt pretty OP, though I still haven't done the DLC's NG++ for the most part.... you basically need late pretty game stuff to do the set though.
Basically it was just using the Magatama from the last boss to get +1 to equipment for set bonuses, Mataza's Set to get thrust damage + 2 pieces of TIger of Higo's to get the Piercing Rain +30%.
It got me through the game easily and was easy to cobble together (no real reliance on elemental dmg or buffs), even though there are surely more OP builds to be made.
I'm on the last boss I can get him to phase 3 but by then I run out of health potions and get stomped I'll never beat this game.
Don't give up. If you can get to the last boss you can beat this game.
I'll tell you what you can try, summon 3 scampuss with beckoning bell when phase 3 begin. I wish I was kidding but they annihilate his ki. You can also summon them as the fight begin but they may disapear by the time you reach phase 3. (though can always summon more)

Synopsis:
I believe they only release DLC trailers the day before the actual DLC.
What Erigu said, it'll probably be released sometimes after TGS closer to the DLC's release date.
Yo those claws though, can notice a few things from the video such as stacks being applied to your character and whatnot.
Took an extended break and figured I'd come back. Just beat Kasha. How much longer until the final boss of the base game?
This hasnt been confirmed yet. Right now all we know is new missions and the new weapon is the bare knuckles I believe. There was way of the wise and way of nioh in nioh 1 right. Really hoping for a new difficulty cause it would be the best time passer until PS5. Surprised they havent brought back that 100 floor dungeon thing from nioh 1. Would help with replay value plus releasing at the end if they do it would be kinda backwards.
They're pretty much following what they did with Nioh 1, so you can 100% expect Way of the Wise (or Dream of the Wise I guess), most likely a new rarity gear (ethereal). It would be weird to suddenly change what they include with each DLC. 3rd DLC will most likely also have Dream of the Nioh. I'm about 99% sure.
You can slap me if I end up wrong.

EDIT: Oh, I highlighted the bit about the new rarity, but I just realized you were also questioning whether there will be a new difficulty. That was confirmed as well.

I assumed as much but i didnt see it in the first press release.
It took me about 3 hours to beat the boss after final form Tochikiro I used a Scampuss and the Scampus nearly killed the boss by itself. I have 8 more Scampus bells for the final boss though I should be able to beat the game today. I'm so excited for the claws omg yes!
I beat the game! The last boss was intense but I actually still had the most trouble with Gyuki that is the only boss in the game I felt was unfair.

Thank you I'm so excited for the new DLC I just wish there were more armor sets that supported the Tonfas.
I'm surprised they haven't brought back the sarutobi set, there's the tonfas but that's it.
I love the way that one looks too omg it's so cool my character would look amazing in it. Is there a place online I can see the new armor added in Tengus Disciple?
I'm hoping but at least it has the claws which I've been wanting since the game first got announced.
Finally started playing this and it feels good to be back, loved my time with Nioh 1. I'm clearing up the third region now, level 65. Some random questions:
- In terms of weapons, I've been sticking to the Spear and Switchglaive since the very beginning. Is it advisable to throw other weapons into the mix, or do people usually stick to 1 or 2 classes?
- What should I do with my unwanted loot? Sell or dissasemble?
- What are the Ninjustu skills/Omnyo magics I should aim for? There's an overwhelming amount of them

I'm level 169 now on the next to last region in Dream of the Strong it's really fun co-oping now that they added the continue system. I love this game it's my GOTG 100% I haven't had this much fun in years it's hard as fuck and unforgiving but beating a boss feels so good. The loot is really fun it reminds me of Diablo 2 I've gotten some really cool stuff. I learned about Carnage scrolls and stacking those and the Tonfa mystic art Apocalypse is super fun.
I can't wait for the new DLC next week please god let them add Sarutobi Sasukes armor or at least a morph so I can look like him he's so cool!

How many times do I need to fight Yatsu No Kami for the shrine maidens smithing text? This is a stupid grind. I'm level 88 so it's an easy fight but what the fuck at the RNG.
If it's your first playthrough I wouldn't worry too much about it but if you really want it increase your luck as much as you can, wear a kodoma bowl head gear, use a kodoma yokai soul and set your kodoma blessing to material drops.
Yeah I'm on NG. I kind of want it because soul matching that set is fucking expensive.
It's not worth soul matching anything in NG because you constantly find better stuff just playing through the stages. I'd only recommend maybe matching set bonuses if anything.
I started playing two days ago and man it feels good to be back. The yokai powers look good and are fun to use. I wanted to try some new weapons this time but i just chose spear and dual swords again lol. I just love spears and the dual swords just feel so good to use. I'm in the second region right now and seeing Nobunaga and Noh again made me quite nostalgic. The story is still not good but it's easier to follow than in the first game at least. I like that the weapon you use less always levels faster. That's why i'm switching between both much more often than in the first game. The game has really sucked me in and i think this will be my GotY.
Nioh 2 is my GotY as well at first I just liked it but after spending 130 hours playing I love it so much that I'm gonna buy the first game and all it's dlc soon.
- It's really up to you. Just need to invest the time to unlock the skills. I usually stick with three and swap around.
- You can disassemble unless you're hurting for coin.
- I usually make a beeline for the passives and choose an element to focus on.
he hits hard and has increased defense. Approach cautiously. Use sloth to slow him down. His move sets are pretty limited. If you keep a distance he generally resorts to doing the spit fire attack, get behind him and wrench him, although watch for the one with theballs because the duration is shorter.
I hate how much space control he does with those fire pools and his long ass weapon. Not to mention I do like no damage to him it feels like.
in my experience the fire pools are a distraction. Don't worry about it. If you really are concerned about it, put damage over time or reduced elemental damage on your armor
the long ass weapon is what's annoying. Unless you feel like you have a good grasp of it, sometimes it's easier to dodge forward than back since the weapon is so long. This is true especially when he jumps.
but really, the fight is just about keeping your distance, bait him to do use the spit fire attack.
It's kind of like this -
if he starts swinging, just avoid. He hits too hard and reaches too wide
Sometimes you can tell he is starting to lose balance, and again, do not attack until you are sure he falls down (he does one more swing before he does so)
sometimes he does a drinking animation to power up or go into dark mode. Those are free time to attack
He does have a lot of hp and increase defense. However, may need to adjust your build or level up if you are not doing any damage at all
use elemental damage. Water, electricity, and purity are good. Imbue your weapon.
As I mentioned, use sloth, he practically walks in slow motion. Use weakness magic if need to. Use barrier spell to automatically regenerate your ki. Use the ninjitsu scroll that resurrects you.
may want to use a ki-focused plan or build. Basically, use Kurama Tengen as your spirit guardian since it does extra damage when enemies have purified status (affects ki rengneration). Imbue weapon with purity. Use the item to build anima faster from Magic. Use Gozuki (unless I mistake it with Mezuki) for soul cores where the attack is a charge move that does probably the most ki damage. Use it twice (because you renegerate anima faster if you use that item I mentioned) the boss is out ki and may even be staggered. When they are staggered, do what you need - put them in confused state, keep attacking them and go for a grapple before time is
Stack your attack damage with attack bonus vs zero-ki on both of your accessories (may have to grind for this) and another souk core(Namahage, its attack also does decent ki damage)
one of the easiest ways to do this is to have a weapon with normal attacks or active skills that allow you to multi-hit enemies, like Tonfa or Splitstaff (dragon dance)
Today's stream from the second dlc.
Gameplay starts at 53:31and another segment at 1:07:33. Spoilers, obviously.
The new weapon still looks awesome. Hopefully it pairs up nicely with my current build.

The boss they show off in the second segment is literally the first boss of Ninja Gaiden 2. I love it. The gaint spear Toad from the first Nioh also makes an appearance again in the first segment.
