Bolded is ZephiZack am cry. Good news on the Itokuri, as that was seriously messing up things and thus I avoided using it, even though it is great for farming.
is such a lethal boss. She has so many ways to kill you. Long, mid and close range attacks, fast attacks, slow attacks, and attacks that slow the player. I had her close about 5 times, around 10-20% health, but that doesn't matter when she kills so quickly. I finally beat her, but it was difficult.
I had a few lol moments when I would run back to the arena, enter the door, and she would kill me instantly with her long range multiple ice spear attack. No mercy from
It's kind of amusing how much of a contrast there is for Giant Toad between an 'decked out in everything' run and a LVL 1 Naked challenge run. He's one of the (initially) more daunting bosses during the latter since you can't block anything without being guard-broken, covers distance fairly well if he wants to catch up to you and by then you've reached a point in the game where attacks that one-shot you (especially his) are steadily increasing, if not common place.
Hooray for 1 million sold in! Congrats to KT and Team Ninja. So glad the game is selling well. Just wish they would've bothered to stock more at retail. No doubt it could've sold even more if the units were available given how it's been going out of stock.
So I've been insanely busy at the office since this released, but I just managed to "beat" it tonight - credits rolled a moment ago.
Great game, and I'm gonna keep pushing forward with it at least until Horizon releases. Check out some Nightmare levels.
Can't say enough about the combat system, it's masterfully designed, which I suppose shouldn't surprise me since this is Team Ninja we're talking about. But it keeps peeling back layers of depth as you progress, and every fight manages to feel fun, despite overly familiar enemy designs.
Boss design is a bit less memorable than Souls games, with generally easier encounters (although one could argue that's due to a much more responsive combat system - I don't think there's necessarily anything inherently lesser regarding boss movesets or damage output). I also think that without an interconnected open world, you hamstring your ability to make bosses feel as imposing - which is ultimately fine, the game shines in plenty of other areas, and boss fights are still more than serviceable.
It could have stood to be a few notches more difficult too, but I suppose that's totally subjective. The first "tough" fight I've had since early Regions was after I beat the story TBH.
The Nioh side mission where you fight two bosses at once
. It was proper challenging, and I can't help but feel that there should have been a couple encounters like that during the main game.
Anyway, this game is certainly worthy of any 8 or 9/10 that it receives - it's a total treat.
Okay, lol at these NG+ sub missions. Waves of enemies. Final (presumably? I quit mission before finding out) wave of one was a fire wheel, two one eyes things, and a number of those elemental heads, all in that small graveyard type arena. Yeah, no thanks.
Edit: That update's not out yet, right? Didn't get a notification or anything.
There are actually two different effects. The shit-water and the dirty looking water pails have one effect that causes elixirs to only heal half of what they should and makes you gag for a bit when eating them. The clean water containers, with the waterdrop status effect icon, cleans the shitwater, immunizes you to further shitwater until it wears off and, as mentioned above, forms a buffer for all kinds of fire damage and fire status effect build-up.

That's a bit of a relief for me. I only have one item at 320+10, but now I won't be tempted to do it for the rest of my gear and can focus on reforging.
he totally is. theres no time to catch a breath and heal because the moment you stop you get stunned by that cannon. any buffs and debuffs become super hard to cast (went with the increased duration mystic)

farm the revys in the a request from ginchiyo quest. most of them have demon armor sets and it seems like a transferable attack mod shows up on them often (i probably have 10 sitting in my item box for later use)
farm them up and then get the gloves to max fam, and then transfer the mod to all your armor pieces.
Ive got 5 pieces of armor with 30+ to attack. (itll show up as +19 or +18 with no fam, but increases to 30+ when you get 999)

Thanks but I'm looking for 20 attack gloves. I want the perfect roll only have one of them.
Drowning in the +19. And of course I'm looking for more because I want to transfer the roll to other items.
Hence if anyone got time to die somewhere with some would be nice. I can also die first to spread mine.
yeah i did it solo and then helped a few ppl out. it wasnt an easy battle at all. that dude also shoots way faster than normal. he was spamming that shit.
Productive day today. Got my Yasakani Magatama, got my mixed armor set, got every piece of the set to +5, got my fire and water dual kats to +5, and cleared every mission and sub mission in NG+ up to the first two missions in region 5.
Hell, I'd keep going if I didn't have a test at 10 am that I want to wake up early to study for.
