Nioh 2 |OT| Dark Soul Cores -- out now on PC, remaster available on PS5
- Thread starter Noema
- Start date
the next bosses are fairly straightforward at least
I had to do the same. My partner died fairly early on but It was enough for me to beat it. It was a fun fight the first few times but started to feel like more of an endurance challenge. Felt like it had so much HP
What do you guys do with all your extra loot? I've been mostly offering up for divine rice, but I have a shit load now. Should I start breaking down for components?
Up to a certain item level, you should break up everything you're not going to use. You get more money for selling the resulting materials. As the item levels increase, this will eventually even out and reverse since the material prices remain static. Keeping a good stock of the purple mats is conductive for the future, but the lower quality ones should just be sold.
I've been wondering this too...I've been turning everything into divine rice as I am still terrible at the game and need as many elixirs as possible.
Offer it up and stack up Amrita. Loads and loads of amrita
Ah fuck it's this guy....
Nah it was good, I found it.
yay finally got me a blessed scythe!
I indeed got 2 from the boss lol

For Weapon enchant talismans, are they tied to your magic power or it only depends on the weapon ? Is it necessary to put more points in Onmyo just to use those ?
The special guest just simply couldn't stay out of Nioh 2.
Kilic95 Look forward to a mission called "Mausoleum of Evil" ...you'Re in for a pleasant surprise and it's still my favorite mission.
How's the difficulty compared to the first game? I found that overwhelming as a Souls vet lol. Need to restart it at some point.
I think it's harder than Nioh 1 in my opinion, at least within the first 7-8 main missions. I only died a handful times in the first half of Nioh 1, aside from Umi-Bozu or whatever the fuck the name is of that horrible water blob boss, but it feels like Nioh 2 throws you to the wolves faster and the the Ki (stamina) regen is SUPER punishing at the beginning. It's not overwhelmingly difficult so far, but pound for pound it feels tougher than the first game. I just hope it doesn't have any drastic difficulty spikes in the second half like in Nioh 1.
Unrelated, but if I had a magic lamp that would grant me three wishes, one of them would absolutely be to never have to fight
Onryoki, in any game, ever again. The constantly re-used enemies, and now even bosses, from Nioh 1 is so sad and tiring to see.
Really struggling with this game to the point where I think I'm done. Save file is close to 9 hours, 100 deaths and just made it to the 3rd mission. I really want to like the game, the combat feels really great, but I don't think it's worth the frustration its currently giving me.

Don't hesitate to summon Acolytes or even other players to help you out. These tools are in the game for a reason.
Acolytes can be really helpful at drawing aggro and actually dealing damage.
I find that the bosses are generally easier. Trash mobs do bonkers damage though, which makes the bulk of the game tougher than the original.
You have more tools are you disposal, but until you master them, you may be in for a rough ride.
Awesome did you create this yourself? Would like to know the create a character code.
Damn the Owl boss was a huge roadblock for me. Took me hours and really made me rage. And then I see everyone is saying it's an easy boss hahaha Glad I didn't give up but had to switch from tonfas to odachi. I still haven't summoned anyone though! Kinda hope to do this full run solo
Status page, and R1

The whole point of the first game was about trusting the power of the guardian spirits and that using spirit stone/yokai power is corrupt.
Now this game, supposedly a prequel, is flipping the entire premise.
I mean we don't play Nioh for story but I really don't get it.

No that one took me the most tries as well so far (I'm on area 4). His moveset is ridiculous. He's either slashing you, pecking you, clawing you, flying at you, or lazering you. And that's not even counting the pitch black Dark Zone phases. He gives you NO opening.
Holy hell when both people die in Expedition and you have no heals and boss and you both have like 5 HP.
Clutch win.
This fucking game is so good.

Mine is a modification of the standard code. Here is the baseline code: $&?X=aGDBW6bi
Yup, heart is the right investment, just level up your stamina enough to keep your agility above B. Strength or skill is another stat you wanted to level up based on your armor preference.
Snake is quite easy once you've figured it out . Just inflict damage to the tiny snakes at the point of 1 hit kill and leave it there before the boss summons yokai realm . With this , the boss will just spam the same attack that you can safely chip away it's HP . Once in yokai realm , quickly dispatch the tiny snakes where you've damaged them earlier , and run around until the realm is over . The boss will regenerate the tiny snakes again after that , and rinse repeat . Cowardly yes , but it did the job .
Damn, the one-armed boss with a massive HP pool was the first MAJOR roadblock. Maybe I have a crap build, but every attack I landed did a maximum of ~700 dmg (or ~1050 if I was lucky with a back attack), but it still took ages due to the massive amount of health. A true battle of attrition, not really fun. Much harder than the owl too.
The Brothers' Blades side-quest too, ugh.......................!
