Nioh - Nioh 2 out now!

This Tachibana 1v1…

The second boss is fucking me up lol. When I stagger him, I’m supposed to be able to do some extra damage, no? Doesn’t seem to let me do anything.

You can go for a grapple attack (a critical/visceral/backstab/ect) when their Ki is in the red, yes. You need to buy your weapon’s grapple skill first though, otherwise you can only do the “standard” grapple attack when you see an enemy fall to the ground with red Ki.

The first boss was kicking my ass mostly because I would get impatient at how little damage I was doing. Kinda felt like I was not doing enough damage for most of the fight, even though I kept the full midstance combo on him with the kusari Gama.

Also, what stat affects the kusari gama? Every stat says something like (mainly affects swords/axes/spear/etc.) but nothing for the gama.

Dexterity.

This game looks so tight, but I am going to wait towards the end of the year for this one. From experience with the Souls games I’ve learned I’m better off when the mildly autistic gamers ‘nook-and-cranny’ the shit out of it for a few months. Afterwards they have a few suggested noob builds waiting for me.

I was not prepared !!

LMAOOOOOOO

He gave you the HANDS,** bruh. Goddamn, you got bodied.

Who you thought you was running up on, boi?

Builds are really straightforward in this game, just pick the weapons you like, see what stats effect them, then go in. There’s even a stat reroll item you can buy really early on and infinitely I think

LOL no amount of batman like prep time could of saved you from dat ass whoopin…

I haven’t had any problems with any fights until the Umi-Bouzu in Itsukushima

The boss on the burning ship took me 2 try’z.
Left off at that blueish pit with the cyclops yokai.

Also… High stance axe for ALL situations.
All mornibg all night boomboom boo boom boooom in da bathrooooooooooooooom.

Picked the game up, hype is too strong. I only played the 1st demo that was released and I watched about 5 minutes of a gameplay video last night so I’m going in blind pretty much.

The combat looks fun as hell. I love me some Team Ninja so I have faith that I’ll like the game, otherwise I wouldn’t have paid almost a 100 CAD for it(new game prices in Canada=get rekt.)

I found this game’s Blighttown. :sad:

Blight Town can not be escaped…even in other games…it will find you.

Fuck this first demon boss with the iron balls, tho.

Get the Sloth onmyo. It will change your life.

jesus fucking christ. i tried to do a level 18 sub mission on the second level and ended up in a death arena filled with fire spirits, giant skeletons,oni, revenants, and i don’t think thats even the last wave.

i was really holding off on dabbling with the buff and status effect stuff because im scared of breaking the game but fuck that im going to need that shit if this is the easy stuff.
