Which mission? I think I've replayed each and every one and haven't met any that I couldn't complete.

1. I found most of the clan bonuses very underwhelming, so the economic boost of better loot and better selling prices from was an obvious choice for me.
3. No penalty for killing revenants from your own team/color, but you get double points for killing the opposite side ones.
Thanks! So does luck basically increase the chances of getting better QUALITY loot?
 
What's the best way to earn money fast in NG+? Just got broke from getting my divine to +9.
Killing revenants clearly above your own level (like 15+ is preferable) who have a full set of Divine gear and selling the loot. This is basically the one size fits all guide to all NG+ farming
Thanks, I'm also assuming that the parry window is the entire animation being played through? ie. for spear it's the twirling?
Nah, I don't think there are any parry moves where the window would be that generous. The ones I listed just seem to have the most traditional "parry just a bit before you'd get hit" timings. The spear twirl always seemed to need to be activated much earlier compared to those three. It really has been a trial and error process for me. I'm sure some of the more technically proficient folks would be able to actually identify the parry frames.

AFAIK. My looting list shows I have collected more blues than yellows and I've been running with a decent set of luck related stuff as soon as I got my hands on them.
 
Can someone explain how Backwave into Tempest works? I guard right as the attack land, but I can't seem to get Tempest to activate.
 
Okay, finally up against my first "git gud" boss (not counting
Umi-bozu, since that was more me falling off the platforms than a difficult fight
). It's
Yuki-Onna. I can get her down to almost nothing, but just can't avoid some attacks. I'll get her, but she's already claimed me a good 10-15 times.
 
Man, the Yasakani Magatama is incredibly rare. I'm at over 100 runs now with no luck. I guess I'm getting a chance to catch up on some TV, at least.

Edit: Wow, it worked like a charm. Got it on the next run.

You have to press the guard button again right after you succeed in a Backwave. The window of opportunity is very, very tight. XLHGladiator had a tutorial about it in one of his Beta videos. I'm pretty sure QwyndolinCinder has linked it, complete with a timestamp, at least once in this thread as well.

This is the video, but I can't be arsed to find the timestamp right now.

Took me probably 30-40 runs I'd guess. Of course when it finally did drop I had just run out of inventory space and couldn't pick it up, and a revanent, dweller, and oni-bi followed me into the room where it dropped. Would have lost my mind if I managed to die before picking it up lol.
 
FINALLY! Beat
Yuki-Onna
! What a cool boss fight! How difficult is this boss compared to what's ahead (no spoilers of bosses, just curious if they're all on par or harder)?

imo she's one of the toughest in the game at the point that you fight her

It gets easier from here on out imo. Region 4 has some really cool bosses, 5 and 6 I found to be fun but easy
 
Nooooooooooo I beat
nue in mount hiei
but I died at the same time as he did so he stayed dead but I didn't get any of his loot. ;_;

Also noooooooooooo
nekomata.
 
Finally completed everything. Took about 50 hours.
The 3 epilogue missions were by far the hardest and most rage inducing parts of the entire game.
 
Hit area 5 and yeah the lack of enemies is starting to bother me too. Should be getting a new set every area but it's more or less the same thing from island 2. Need way more Yokai

Guess I should just quit while I think I'm good then lol.

Yep, more enemy types and environments are pretty much all I want from a sequel at this point.

Okay, good to know. thanks. Was an intense fight!

Umi-Bozu discussion

It's fucking awesome that what you do in the stage before translates into the boss fight.

Not necessarily, my first time on the level I ran to the boss room without realizing it.
 
Fought this huge dude with an Axe on a bridge. Harder than almost every boss so far. That cheese at about 25% was real. He dropped this INSANE Axe for me though. It is wrecking house.
 
So Tome just changed clothes. What did I do to make that happen?

anyone up for helping a brotha out on "the bridge of bone" :/ i think i've cleared most of the way but there's big tongue dude in the way, he would be fine if there werent the elemental heads messing me up.
 
Oh man, O
katsu
is destroying me. I run out of ki just dodging her attacks, and my agility rank is A lol. Using Kato for the faster ki recovery but she still kicks my ass. Any tips?

Just be patient and learn their attack patterns, that's actually one of my favorite boss fights simply because I love the flow of combat.

Like H, she's broken and you can keep using Heaven Flash or use God of Wind.

Just finished this at level one today.

You're dodging too much if your running out of ki. Dodge attacks the moment her body phases for sword strikes and you should only have to dodge twice during her leg strikes.

She's pretty easy to stagger which keeps her out of phase 2 until the last third, and then her ki drops pretty quick allowing for punishing with critical given that you keep your evasion game on point.
 
The absolute filth in that Twilight mission with the
Uni
boss. Prick summons in his 2nd half now. Got him first try, but it was slow and intimidating as fuck.
 
What armor-set do people find themselfs using after Red Demon? It's hard to move on from that...
Farm the yasakani magatama and then use all the sets. I have 4pc Yagyu, 4pc Ravening and 2pc WotW all at once, it's a good deal of "close combat damage" bonuses plus some neat perks.
 
Is it normal to be way below the mission level? Seems I get further below it the more I progress. Doesn't really seem any harder being so far blow, which is weird
 
What do people think of the following Katana moves? They might not be 'optimal' but are they at least practical in terms of usability or at least damage?

Sword of Discernment - Stuns the enemy by bashing them with the sheath, then follows up with a downward slash.
Sword of Meditation - Performs a powerful attack with a wide opening
Morning Light - After getting knocked down, press triangle to attack while getting up
Flash Attack - Performs a quick attack when switching weapons after a Ki Pulse
Swallow's Wing - Follows up a combo with slash while stepping back.
Swift Step - Maneuver behind opponent in Low Stance after combo
 
I think I've got a weird bug.

I'm at Region 4 and the help dialog for how to open the Gesture Menu has popped up and won't go away. I've tried leaving the mission and doing other ones, it won't go away. Quite to title screen and reloaded.. same deal. Has anyone else experienced this? It's very annoying as it covers a pretty large portion of the bottom half of the screen.
That used to happen to me every time I went to the Nue level as a visitor (during the "sorry" emote part) but they fixed it in 1.03 The only way to remove it for me was closing the game
