Beat Muneshige about 10 times, and the helmet is finally dropped. Phew.

To my surprise, the set doesn't feel like a heavy armor set. I refrained from using it as I always thought that it's heavy. After I put them all I'm still getting B agility which is perfect.

Man, I'm losing steam with NG+ and it's all thanks to how loot works there.

99% of the highest quality drops are crafting material fodder, and the 1% that might be useful is behind your current gear because the upgrading path is a pain in the ass. And then there's gold, rerolling stats for a new set of gear made 1.5m evaporate in 5min.

All I wanted was progressively harder missions with progressively better gear. I walked away from a lv200 twilight mission with the same kind of gear I get from random revenants in any of the NG+ missions.
 
They've GOT to do more weapon choices. They're all so cool and having more options would shoot build potential through the roof.

I want:

- Proper Bare-handed (Kenshiro style)
- Dual Spears (Yukimura)
- Claws (Berserker slash!)
- Triple Sword (AKA Zoro)
- Bo Staff (Sun WuKong baby)
- Harisen (As a more dedicated Onmyo user weapon)


Im surprised there isnt a good bare handed skill set

its bullshit, cmon Team Ninja gimme more stuff
 
So samurai skill points from weapon proficiency definitely seems to stop somewhere around 250k. Which is a bummer, but at least I can swap to different weapons again! I gotta get all them samurai skill points!

Starting to feel the same. :(

I guess I got too excited and expected a deep end game loot system like Diablo.

Tachibana's set is considered medium. There's an icon in the equipment info that tells you if it's heavy/medium/light even if it doesn't say (H),(M), or (L). It looks like gray circles. Tachibana armor pieces should have 2 of the circles. 3 circles means heavy, and 1 means light.

Ummmm so having to farm Elixirs is really really awful. After losing the first duel a bunch of times now I need to go grind a bunch of dudes desperately trying to get them? This is really awful and annoying. Totally killed my momentum.
 
but is it pronounced Neo?...or is it Nigh-oh?

It's Japanese. 仁王 is におう is niou (or nioh in certain romanization systems). Japanese has very simple pronunciation rules for set syllables. "Ni" will never be "nigh". It will always be closer to "knee". So "knee""oh".
 
So just an FYI to everyone it looks like the framerate is uncapped in menus on Action Mode for the pro which results in some really high heat levels on the HW. After testing it a bit I can confirm that the movie mode is capped at 30 in menus. The heat difference as a result is staggering. At times the Action mode was hot enough to cause a small amount of warping to the plastic whereas the movie mode is relatively cool to the touch. As a result, until its patched, regardless of feel/performance I would recommend running in movie mode so as to avoid overheating your HW.

Huh. Mine seems to run fine in action mode. The only time the fan kicks on is when I'm in the Blacksmith menu. So I try not to linger on those.

I just finished the
Sekighara
region. I wish daily Twilight Missions didn't unlock until you beat the game, I only have 2 hours to play outside of weekends because work sucks, and the dailies are taking half my time lol.

I actually like the daily format of Twilight Missions, the loot just needs to be actually good.

You always have a set amount when you pray at the shrine based on how many of the kodama you found. No real need to farm it.

Maybe I'm nitpicking with what I understood, but he said menus - plural. When it's only that one menu I've seen the issue with.

Thats what I meant. The "Starting point" menus. Although I hve noticed some minor increases in fan noises with inventory screens and system menus as well just not the extent of starting point menus.

Can you get the kodamas you missed when playing as a guest? Thanks in advance.

No unfortunately not. You have to get them as a host.

I started getting less of them when I'd start the first duel. They didn't refill from storage because I didn't have any.

Weird, because it's not based on storage? Like even if you run out of it in storage you'll have a set amount when you pray.

I think it starts out at 3 per region until you start finding kodama around.

OK, NOW the game really is finished and I have to say these last few missions were underwhelming. The stages were harder than the bosses in them and I'm specially disappointed with the last two fights. They felt rushed and badly implemented.

The last boss specifically was a fucking joke, I had no fun at all with that fight. The conclusion scenes were what I was expecting them to be, which is mediocre at best. That credits' music was completely out of place too, what were they thinking?

Anyway, it's still one of the best games ever made, exclusively because of the gameplay. Now it's time to face everyone again on NG+.

Why can I only carry (or withdraw) 3 elixir? I could've sworn a couple missions ago it was either 4 or 5.

Is there a skill or armor perk that effects this?

If you've found all the kodama in a region, you'll start with 6 every time you die, even if you have zero. 6 should be enough to clear most things.

You had better luck with this first duel than I am then. Zero problems with any other bosses and this guy is destroying me.

That's weird. So this is purely because the framerate is uncapped on menu screens?

I always make offerings of the stuff I dont want. Many give you elixirs.

Can anyone confirm if this is a Pro-exclusive problem? It seems like an oversight if the game was designed with the original hardware in mind but I want to be sure if I should be switching to movie mode for the menu on my Slim or not.

Stuck on the 4th level with a
bunch of poison things and vacuums to suck up the poison. I got the the 2nd shrine and killed all enemies on the top, mid, and bottom levels. I can't find a path to the next area.

Please help
 
What's with these cheating dojo duels? Guy combos himself out of ki but can still dodge 20 feet away from me, meanwhile I run out of ki and need to catch my breath for 30 seconds.

The heat is fine on normal second gen PS4.

The first duel with Japanese McSamurai

If it's who I think it is, just dodge right. His most threatening moves have a pretty big tell on them and they have big whiff times that you can punish.

If you think that version is hard though, just wait. :p

Not the one that you fight when you meet the girl, but the real one that's just a Duel.

My Pro literally takes off in the blacksmith menus as well. I have to chase it around the room and weigh it down with something. I hope they patch it soon.
 
huh. couldnt find any matches for the Twilight, so did random coop.

Turns out that, even if you get lowbie stuff helping some dude out, you'll get close to 1k glory for it + some lvl-matched items.

Also methinks that the game doesn't use william's level to determine loot drops, because my dude has been getting l125+ loot ever since i got some 125 weapons from today's twilight, and he's lvl 105

Hah, that's exactly where I'm at right now.
I'm not stuck (yet), but man I hate these obligatory
poison cave levels
