I would recommend doing it coop via yokai realm with the tori gate. Makes it much easier to put on farm status.
I can help you cheese em both in 30 mins or so. Hit me up on PSN for that Yokai realm, I'll hop on in 30 mins or less hopefully after taking care of few things.
Finished it yesterday! Towards the end the challenges got a bit crazier, with multiple past-boss encounters at the same time which is a bit much and created a bit of fatigue. That was mostly for the sidequests though, so I was happy to finish the main story with coop help and consider the experience amazing and one of my favourite games of this gen. Probably behind only Bloodborne. Looking forward to more from them!
Okay, I feel kind of silly now for complaining about the bosses being hard. I played through the game focusing on melee and ninjutsu, pretty much ignoring magic. For NG+, I decided to respec and try out omnyo, and I cannot get over how it just allows me to roflstomp all over everything. There's no need to even get cute or worry about getting my build just exactly right. Weakness + Carnage + Living Weapon = almost every boss dead in literally about 5 seconds of button mashing.
I know everybody else probably knows this already.

You reminded me that even without Onmyo or Ninjutsu, you can cheese a lot of the (human) bosses by simply attacking non-stop. Many of them don't know what to do besides block until they run out of Ki. I found this out by accident and managed to get the "Crusher" titles on several of them this way.
You cant summon but you cna do them coop via the Yokai Realm option on the Tori Gate.

That's not a good idea though as blocking consumes less Ki than attacking leaving you vulnerable to a hit. And some bosses have hyper armor on their moves.
Oh I never thought of that.

Does everyone else like to badass sheath their weapons after every encounter? I assume yes.

I always do it with my kusarigama secondary because flicking off the blood is cathartic, and I get none of the satisfaction putting away the axe.
Credits rolled this evening:
What a f**king amazing game. Seriously, this game is a masterpiece of action RPG gaming. It's not perfect and it's a bit rough around the edges but so was Demon's Souls. I really just can't say enough how much I enjoyed playing through this game. Following after Dragon's Dogma, Soulsborne and now this, is why Japanese have the action RPG genre on lock as far as I am concerned.

Looking forward to checking out post-game stuff and multiplayer.

Beat this game last night. While not perfect, it's a very good game and for me, it's essentially an arcade version of Dark Souls, which is a good thing. Any reason to keep going after beating it? I'm not interested in trophies or platinuming the game.

A thought just occurred to me.
In the 2v1 sub mission where you fight youknowwho, if I kill him first then die to the other one, wouldn't this let me farm for his smithing texts faster??

NG+ is all about the loot grind and harder levels. You can't even begin to make "perfect" gear until after you beat the final boss.
nextgeneration

Does NG+ add any new missions/bosses? Is there any new content or it's mainly about loot?
Chaos2Frozen
Member
Harder difficulty.
For new content there's a big patch at the end of march to include new missions, and next month we have the first DLC ad free PvP patch.
But yeah, end game Nioh is all about build optimization with loot
bagandscalpel
Member
No new levels.
You'll see more enemies that weren't there in NG, but the levels are all the same. NG+ Twilight missions take that to an even greater extreme, like peppering umbrella monsters all over the first main mission, for example. Not really "new" content, but yeah, it's mainly about the loot and challenge.

Nope. The nodes just tells you that you can't have more than one of the same on a weapon.

Is Kodama power up bonus on Kodama Bowl of the procentage or is it added to it? Like, do I get 30% of 25% Amrita earned or do I get 25% Amrita earned +30% power up = 55%?
I think I hyped myself up for Two Kings and A Meeting sub-missions. I got a great purple kusarigama late game, and destroyed those levels without any magic and only using quick change once. That's not a brag, but really showcasing just how OP blade spin is.
I thought I completed every single mission, but I guess I missed 1 twilight mission for the 100%. Question for my second build, have people found more enjoyment from katana or spear (if you used either)?

No clue but it'd be easy to test.

Both are more 'methodical' than more spammy Kusarigama and Dual Katana. Both equally fun. Katana wins out sightly for me because it's more versitle for every environment, but Spears have the cooler movesets.
Swords - faster, versitle
Spears - longer range, more damage
Seeing these two posts so close to one another amuses me more than I can express.

I do not know if anyone has expressed their love for Niohs rainy locations. It is something I miss from games. Rain is usually a rare thing but to me it adds a lot to ambiance and is very soothing.
I think I will go with a Kusarigama as my third weapon as my other stats are not high enough to take the best advantage of Swords and Spears. I have over 30 in Dexterity. Currently trying to beat Orochi without getting hit which is damn hard even if you try to abuse sloth and guardian animals.

Itokuri simply from the massive luck boost.
Unlock and just spam the L1 + [ ] square button lunge spin attack.
There's no way I can jump out of a mission and come back at the same point (shrine) later is there? Having to set aside a good chunk of time to play a mission on this limits the time I get to spend with it (not that I mind taking my time, plus it means I get to play Gungeon when I don't have enough time for Nioh).
You can quit in mission and it spawns you at the last shrine you used.
Its weird how we can labour under these false constraints. For pretty much the whole game I thought I had to physically walk the kodama back to the shrine and pray, not just click on them. So I would think and plan carefully when I would pick the kodama up and take them back because I wanted to be sure it would be clear to the shrine and to avoid respawning all the enemies. Sometimes leaving them and coming back for them later. Only in the last region did the penny finally drop when all signs were pointing to me not having to do that. So much time wasted but oh well I guess.

Yeah, I found that out actually shortly after asking when helping someone in Co-Op and getting fucking clipped hard while trying to heal.

I might just need to take up someone's offer to co-op farm "Other Shore"... my farming gear as it is can't dps fast enough...
there's apparently a perfect rolled kurigasama that's up for grabs from a revenant
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nioh/comments/5z4vw5/perfect_roll_kusarigama_can_now_be_yours/
"The Dissapearing Rantajai" region 3 submission (NG+)
the revenant is AdiDice or something like that, go fetch

Thanks for the heads up! I have a few questions:
Probably a stupid question but what makes this a perfect roll?
In the reforged version I see three stats got rerolled, does that mean close combat life recovery, skill ki reduction and break aren't that great?
The change to attack dex is inherited. Does this mean that I can add it to the weapon infusing any weapon that has that stat on it?
OP on the reddit thread said it better than I would I think
"that it has a built in close cobat damage and final blow at their highest possible roll, and it has no inheritble stat, leaving you the option to inherit a seventh stat to that free slot making it a total beast. the rest of the stats are build dependend, but this roll makes sure the most important stats are locked in place, and with their max roll."
Not necessarily. You would want to reforge stats so that those fit better to your build, and there's many different builds you can make.
Although, I probably would change those stats too myself.
Yes! You have to find a piece of equipment that has an inheritable stat to attack that you can inherit over to this weapon.

i may have a question .
I have a forged green 150lv weapon. i wish to make a lv 150+1 or +2 weapon. ( same kind )
So , if i'm correct i need to forge another lv150 and soul match it , right ?
But i want to keep my bonuses on the weapon
What should i do ?
Soul match it anyway , then reroll the bonuses ?
Am i missing something obvious ?

Thanks for the info!
I saw a revenant with blue glowing horns...what mask is that?!?
Two 150 divine weapons with no (+) will not make a +1 weapon. You need at least a 150 divine plus a 150(+1) divine weapon to make that regular 150 into a +1 if you set it as base equipment in soul matching. To make a 150(+2) divine, you need at least two 150(+1) weapons. To make a +3 divine, you need at least two 150(+2) weapons and so forth. To keep bonuses, be max familiarity with the weapon you're trying to upgrade and set it as base material in soul matching. Sorry if my explanation is confusing, I'll try find video that explains better.
Edit: short random video explaining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9fe2Vs3UyY
It's good, but not perfect. The no inheritable effect is great though. The only perfect roll is "close combat damage." The shiranui I am using has 19.8 vs 19.6 Final Blow.

That's more than likely the Visitor's Dragon Kabuto, a JP exclusive.
You CAN get them off revenants.
EDIT: Damn, everybody's trading that god-roll Shiranui at The Disappearing Ranjantai. Gonna give back to the community and drop a Kusanagi Tsurugi with inheritable CCD+15%.

Kodama Dance gesture is such a satisfying way to mock ultra-serious Co-Op partners. Thanks game.
No wonder I couldn't find them anywhere except with revenants lol. That and the massive straw hat were driving me crazy lol.

Came to this thread purely because I just beat
and I'm so, so happy. There is no margin for error in that fight given where I am at the game (very very early), so I didn't think there was any way I was going to beat her. Yay.
