Divine gear is green, in this one even exotics (purple) can have + levels on it. You only start dropping divines after clearing the main story.

Nioh 2 |OT| Dark Soul Cores -- out now on PC, remaster available on PS5
- Thread starter Noema
- Start date
I forgot what the deal with the +1's are other than they're stronger. Can you increase it?
Soul Matching can transfer it forward. Matching two +1s gets you a +2. That is the basics of it.
Yes. You always need the material +# value to be greater or equal to the item being boosted. And no matter what values you match, it can only go up a single digit so no using a +5 as a material to boost a +2 (based on Nioh 1, I haven't reached Divines here).
I'm in late game now and I don't remember the last time I was stuck on a boss for so long.
I feel like everything this dude does is a one-shot.
Shibata is fucking insane. Tips please.

It works mostly the same, but there is one new feature, "remodelling", which allows you to change the scaling of + weapons.
My face when Iai Quick Draw 3 lets me chain into it after a Ki Pulse:
Anyone know how Tempest and Mind's Eye actually work?

Tempest works exactly like the skill says it does. If you hit L1 right after you break a humans Ki and don't have any moves chained, you do the sword lock and push them to the ground with nice damage on top. The timing is very, very tight. It is best utilized in a chain with Backwave II, which makes it a truly godlike anti-human killer move.My face when Iai Quick Draw 3 lets me chain into it after a Ki Pulse:

Minds Eye is a strange one and quite technical. It essentially adds an effect to the dual blades low stance dodge where if your dodge fails to get you out of the attacks hurtbox by the time its I-frames end, it chains a small extra twirl to it that gets more I-frames and in the case of Minds Eye II, gets you that attack boost. Intentionally activating it is quite the skill-check, but you can just consider it being extra I-frames on the low stance dodge.
So, are there any available tips for this game for someone that isn't very good at it?
I'm decent at Souls games in general, though I was best at Bloodborne. I even played the first Nioh and got a decent way in, but this one is just fucking me up even before any bosses. I don't know if I just don't have a good handle on the mechanics or what- I think the whole ki pulse thing doesn't Make sense to me, not that it did last time either but it seemed less troublesome for some reason.

The stupid hammer bitch with the 1 leg and 1 eye is top tier garbage enemy.
I dread everytime that garbage comes on screen.
Piece of crap enemy.

I'm using the Tonfa with Arcana of Lightning on the Wild Lions skill and it drains their KI really really fast.
I hated them at the start. They hit hard as fuck.
So great. That just proves that levels don't matter in this game as long as you have mastered the combat and its many mechanics.
True, I'm using the Switchglaive with nothing put into Magic and it still rocks.
Unless you have this property set at 100%, it doesn't always trigger. With the monkey Guardian Spirit it's at 25% IIRC, so it'll trigger roughly 1/4th of the time.
Gotten to the point where my levels dont matter and man. Fuck namahages and the rokuwhatevers-The snake head guys.
I'm dumb, the percentage is chance not the amount of health lol
Patch 1.05 just downloaded for me (Canada)

I'm gonna be honest I find those grab moves to be questionable in terms of damage
The hitboxes of the first mission boss in region 6 are pure bullshit. Been at this for an hour and got him down to under 10% health twice, only for that grab to one shot me.
Some things are questionable, sure, but I wouldn't call the game balance "ass"
Ok, these cheap-ass gauntlet missions are gonna make me toss my controller. Level 20-something my ass...
Ok, I just bought Nioh 2, I finished Nioh when it first came out.
Any tips, tricks, guidance, stuff to avoid?

Awesome video love the High Stance combo into the Enki I never thought about doing this.
Thank God, 180k proficiency was way too high.Patch 1.04 is coming:

I wish. Just cleared the second region's boss and he too wears heavy armor OTL
That said, I do question if the benefits of Heavy armor outweight it's negatives like fast Ki drain and shorter rolls, because my short time experimenting with heavy armor at 85% and 95% didn't seem that way.
Ki Pulse is like active reload in other games, when you do a melee combo your stamina decreases but leaves behind a red bar
Pressing R1 when you see it fill up will regen your stamina bar for the amount that it fills up. If you do it at the optimal timing (when the bar is completely fill up) your ki pulse can dispel the dark pools left behind by yokai enemies.
Other visual indicators are the swirling white light around your body.
Alternatively, the timing usually is around 1 second to 1.5 seconds, so just internalize it.
Thanks! And yeah you can use the core abilities to cancel out the heavy attack, great for the short bursts of damage you need to down yokai.
That's helpful thank you, I remember getting the hang of it in the last game but maybe it's just been so long since I've played it that this feels different for some reason. Seemingly it isn't, I'm just not finding the flow of it all yet. It's comical how much I'm struggling with even some of the non-boss style large enemies, I know I didn't have this much of an issue with the last game so quickly.
I think the ost is a general improvement over the first game so far. However, I haven't encountered one as good as Okatsu's theme yet(which is the best theme from nioh 1 imo)
It's normal, I had this issue when playing the beta thinking my time is over. But the second time around when I played the beta I realize just a bit of enemy knowledge makes all the difference. You just need to know which monsters you have to play safe and which ones you have to rush down.
Another advice i would give is to learn and get used to the new burst counter system. It would make your life so much easier once you incorporate it into your fights.
Also this is a good guide for beginners.
