Nioh: Feudal Era Dark Souls

[Multidirectional]

Couldn't get into odachi after using an axe... despite shorter reach, it feels so much better to me...

And I couldn't get back to axe after trying odachi. Both kinda easy mode noob friendly weapons except odachi offers better move variety. Axe felt lacking in that regard.

Oh no, what is this tea house shit now. More busy work?

Can mostly skip it.
I mean, joining a guild of sorts does net you some very minor mechanic bonuses, so doesn't hurt, really (and enables hunting for some rewards).

I think you might enjoy the game better if you ignore the FOTM Revenants and farm equipment the traditional way.

Possibly, but since this is a Diablo-like you still want that dopamine rush you get for finging new loot and nothing compares to what the remnants drop.

And yes, while it's true that remnants have other weapons the Odachi is just much more common and chances are the highest level weapon you'll find after sweeping a mission is going to be an Odachi you got off a remnant.

BTW, i genuinely had no idea this weapon was so popular. Even though this game is very different from Sekiro the latter was still in my mind when i started playing this so i consciously decided to avoid straight swords and decided to pick an heavy weapon instead, just to be different. In the process, i accidentally ended up doing what everybody else is doing, heh.

At any rate, i think i'll switch up anyway.

Revenants are created from dead players so you're just farming items that losers who die are wearing lolol.

Odachi was an add on/DLC weapon. That's why it became popular much later then katanas, etc. And I guess you're meeting the ghosts of late stage of the game players.
Back when I was playing, Odachi was just getting traction (still plenty - but plenty other weapons as well).

Revenants are created from dead players so you're just farming items that losers who die are wearing lolol. Seriously though, Odachi is a great choice for a starter weapon, nothing wrong with it.

I don't like it that much. It has (mostly, except for this Moonlight thingy) very vanilla skills.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Ok, ice lady down.

Sort of lost track of the story. So many characters i can't even remember who is supposed to be what. Guess it doesn't matter i wonder how much of NG i got left before i can jump on the next difficutly.

You mean the Twin Moons?

It's a very overpowered combo, because you can do both follow up swipes even when you have almost no ki. It makes all the remnants a joke, just need to be careful to catch them with the initial strike before they start moving. Once you land the first hit they are essentially locked for the whole combo unless they dodge away, which sometimes won't save them if they are still within range of the twin strikes.

It's not that good for bosses because they have too much hyperarmor. Big guys too but sometimes it's worth doing it on them too because even though they can hyperarmor through the twin strikes you can kill them before they hit you back.

BTW, i finally found a decent axe. Only 3 level lower than my Odachi i think i'll take it.

 

[Multidirectional]

He probably means Moonlit Snow, the cooler looking move. I used faster version of it, Moonlit Snow Redux, in Nioh 2 quite a lot.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I don't remember seeing that, maybe it's from Nioh 2?

Possibly i just missed it as there's a lot of skills. I'll check it out tonight.

 

[Multidirectional]

Redux version is Nioh 2 only I think, but regular one should be in 1.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Well, i found it, but i'm not sure i like it. Guess i need to spend some time with it. For some reason it overrides Imperative Strike even though they are not in the same key slot. When i try to do Imperative Strike nothing happens anymore. Not that it matters since Imperative Strike was kinda of shit still.

BTW, in case you wanna see how broken Twin Moons is:

 

[Lyric Suite]

Alright, just killed that white cat boss. Last few bosses were easier than before, probably because i'm gaining too many levels from doing all the sub-missions. I basically trivalized Grim Dawn because i'm a completist autist can't help myself lol those games should account for that shit to be honest.

I hope the jump in difficutly for NG+ is going to be substantial.

 

[Silverfish]

I hope the jump in difficutly for NG+ is going to be substantial.

I hope you handle disappointment well.

 

[Strange Fellow]

Wait, ALL the submissions? So you're basically running through every single level 5+ times? If I had done that, I would never have finished this thing. I stopped doing any missions with map repeats about halfway through the game, and I still regret not stopping sooner. The content recycling in this game is ridiculous.

 

[Multidirectional]

NG+ is probably easy mode, in Nioh 2 it doesn't start getting properly tough until NG+++. NG++ is a notable step up though at least. NG+ certainly easiest mode. That's why I prefer to rush to higher difficulties as fast as possible. And you don't even need to do all main missions in NG+. I also don't explore fully the ones I end up doing, just rush straight to the boss. That way I at least get significantly underleveled on the way to highest difficulty. Not that it's a huge deal though since most of your power comes from equipment and not stats, I assume it's probably same in N1. But it's at least fun when level ups start coming faster and faster. Also I looked up what is changed in NG+ cycles in N1, as I never experienced it. It would appear that NG+ is less interesting in N1 compared to 2. I don't see anything about remixed combat encounters for N1.

 

[Multidirectional]

Lyric Suite have you played DLC missions already? Those are supposed to be a notable jump in difficulty.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I don't think so, which are they?

Right now i just finished the ninja house, the one with the frog boss at the end.

There are definitely remixed combat encounters on NG+ even in N1.

So maybe that wiki for N1 NG+ is just incomplete then. Because it sure makes it seem less exciting than N2 NG+.

Excuse me for being retarded but is the first (non tutorial) level supposed to be such a maze? I got to the second shrine and got to a fenced in house with an oni in it and a locked gate. I can't figure out where to go and I'm running in circles. Am I missing something?

I can't remember particular levels, but I had similar problems in various spots. The culprit was generally either an enemy that drops a key I kept walking past without noticing or aggroing, or getting lost in the weeds in some side branch area. When in doubt, go back to the last save spot, and try to follow the developer waysigns; lanterns, rooms with the lights on, the sort of thing intended to catch your eye but often fail because there's enemies, treasures, and other shit that seems more important.

The key for locked gate is on a corpse behind the oni in house, check it out.

I found it thank you. I'm at the first proper boss now. He seems easy but I keep fucking it up. Still getting used to the stamina system and figuring out the consumables. Do you just get free items if you spend your points and equip them? I seem to have 4 flasks by default now. I think I got one from saving a frog?
