Ok im like 20 hours in and it still wont let me unlock parry, what mission do i have to do???

 

[Baliis]

How many are there I think I lit 2

3 that I found

 

[Donthizz#]

Dual sword wielders, are you using light or medium armour?

 

[Aztechnology]

Which clan...
Shimazu looks good because of the ki Regen. But I don't have that much issue with ki.

Not going a particular element build yet so those are kind of out.

Furata might be nice for luck, but I'm not sure what silver tongue is.

Chosokabe looks like it might be a winner but what does evasion-attack mean exactly? Attacks after dodge?

 

[Zemm]

In this game's case, I gotta agree. Twenty hours in I have no idea what's going on.

I had no idea what was going on after 2 hours. Story is a mess but I really don't care, that's not why I bought the game in the first place!

 

[Rizific]

Depends on your playstyle but personally since I'm sole Katana user with zero magic buffs, I have to dance around him. Make him do his crazy ass moves and get your hits in after he misses. Don't try to block his crazy sword eye move, instead dodge into him/through(more advanced) and get a much bigger punish that way.

Basically make him miss, punish with some hits but don't get greedy until you Ki deplete his ass and then you go to fucking town. If I face him now at my currently level, I have no problems staying in his face constantly and punishing every whiff of his. I did not think this was possible the first time I faced him in the beta or that I would be capable of such things lol. You will legit feel like a badass Samurai by the end of the game.

thx! he dead now. question about twilight missions, what are they for? are they just hard missions with good rewards?

3. Makes the fight way easier. Make sure you light your weapon on fire with them. No longer a sponge after that.

's hitbox is ridiculous, I dodged his spear but his body got me and it took 3/4 of my health in a weird sort of camera shifting maneuver. Was pissed but I needed 5 elixirs and with a smudge left of my health I carried the living weapon all the way through at the very very end and took the fucker down on my 1st try.

i think it affects movement not attack speed, as sloth does both

Nice vid, the combat in this game is so good.

What's the green item that drops, another rarity of equipment at end game? Anything interesting?

Ya another rarity tier unlocks for end game.

The end part of the

Are people really that confused with the story or are they just being obtuse? I've seen this with a few reviewers already.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Is the parry skill unlocked with a twilight mission?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

No, "Way of the Warrior: Novice", You'll get it as you complete Region 1 I believe.

Yep you got it, dodged the spear attack......but his body grazed me and it counted as a hit.

THIS NINJA HOUSE THO

suh gud

 

[Planisphaerium]

anyone know of any decent farm spots for demon horns?

Yea nioh has strange hitboxes, sometimes they work so flawless you cant believe it, other times your getting teleported to the end of a spear.

[Kyoufu]

Finally got the Nami-oyogi Kanemitsu smithing text.

Muneshige's ass was kicked so hard, so many times.

 

[RenegadeXV8]

I've seen maybe 1 Axe Revenant in 11 missions.

Do people not like the weapon style or is it a case of swords just being overwhelmingly popular?

Also cracks me up when I see tons of graves next to Sentries. Slowest enemy in the game with the most telegraphed attack, no idea how so many people die to it.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Btw, is optional boss

Spoiler

real muneshige meant to be a lot harder?

Because fuck me.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Dual sword wielders, are you using light or medium armour?

I use medium armor. I started with light but found it a bit too much for me.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Quick question- do elemental debuff proc faster with more hits or more damage?

 

[lionpants]

Spoiler

Real

last boss dead. Looks like the real game begins here. Love it!

 

[Deku Tree]

Well someone found a way to glitch roll through certain walls and enter locked areas.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Wait, can all weapons use Ki Pulse?

 

[kobe(beast)]

Last main mission of the 3rd region. A lot of yokui.

 

[j0hnnix]

Damn.. Does the demon armor drop leggings and pants? I was only able to get the head armor and chest.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Wait, can all weapons use Ki Pulse?

Yes. It's a core ability, you can use it even without weapons.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Yes. It's a core ability, you can use it even without weapons.

Yeah I'm a fucking idiot lol Not Ki Pulse >.< The move that disperses an amount of energy that damages enemies Ki?

Yeah he's kinda rough.

 

[xuchu]

They may not know much about sengoku period so all the names and different clans might be unfamiliar. Even then it's a very straightforward story and explicitly told.

Yea, I'm only at the end of region 2, but I have trouble keeping track of the names so it's all just sorta blurring together. Still a great game though.

As someone yet to finish this game.........

It can be somewhat confusing though you have to focus on the descriptions while the main mission is loading as they detail historic presence of the importance of each level and think of the main antagonist

Spoiler

(Kelley)

as someone who is feeding into the anger and revenge of the fallen because of circumstances like capital punishment of casualties of war by pumping them with yokai toxin and add a little pot stirring between a nation to cause anarchy towards another and I think that's some of the plot but I can be really wrong. I think anytime you search for a dead body and get text, it sort of dictates their last dying moments in a stage.

Really wrong. It sort of has an Uncharted feel to it in a very very wacky way, I mean the Marco Polo reference in the beginning was so Uncharted with the simple quote in black background lol.

 

[Deku Tree]

Oh wow I didn't realize that I should use my Samuri points to unlock the passive skills for all weapons since they work no matter what you have equipped. Some of them are really good.

 

[twisteh]

Needing some help urgently, been running around for 15 mins.

Doing the mission where you light bonfires, I ran across some roofs, found a bonfire and a hot spring and now can't get back? There must be a ladder or something around here somewhere but I can't see anything. Stranded.

The middle bonfire in the Ocean Roars?

I was stuck at some point with the same scenario as you.

Spoiler

Check the walls very careful, particular the walls right in front of that bonfire and wait for a circle button prompt/trigger.

Aye. Some straight-up Run Speed boosts in the Ninjitsu tree, too.

Samurai Points really aren't much of a bottle-neck, nor do they really disincentive switching weapons around. Yeah, having one "main" is great, but variety can be good.

You'll.m get a button prompt and you have to hold the circle button. I already said it's near where you want to go back to at the start.

This 2v1 fight in the field... What the shit man.

I don't feel bad for using sloth at all in this.

Go to the other side of the hallway, to where you light the third torch, facing the torch do a 180 turn and run to the wall, then move along the wall left and you'll find a talisman on that wall.
