I always forget how ridiculously fun this game is. Always a pleasure to just sit and watch Nioh 2 challenge run stuff every now and then. Definitely some of my favorite boss design I've seen in a game out there. Kinda wish FromSoft headed more in this direction than what they did with Elden Ring and its DLC.
@XeriehАй бұрын
If you like Nioh 2 stuff I'd recommend checking out Xelod93 and Brilliant_Suns_Gaming they do a lot of advanced Nioh stuff. I think it would be interesting to see Fromsoft try to make something like Nioh but I'm not sure how successful they would be at it with their current boss design philosophy. Say they do take Souls in the direction of it being a more player focused action game but kept making fights in the spirit of Consort Radahn or Malenia I don't think there would be room to be able to style and use all the different moves on the bosses like you can in Nioh so they would have to be very careful in how they designed the fights to allow for the player to use a large variety of moves instead of say just two out of ten moves the player has being viable for safe punishes. Fromsoft nowadays seems to equate hard with being good instead of designing enjoyable boss encounters which is why I think we got such horrible bosses in Elden Ring like Godskin Duo, the Valient Gargoyles gank, Consort Radahn and the list goes on.

🧧 #DivineBeastDancingLion 🦁 #LionDanceLegend 🧧 #DancingLion 🦁 🦁According to legend, on the eve of every CNY, an unknown animal would destroy the fields, crops and animals belonging to the farmers of a village in China. The villagers could not identify the beast and named it 👹 #Nian 👹, which came to mean “year” in Chinese. To put a stop to the ravaging, the villagers made a model of the animal out of bamboo and paper, which was manipulated by two men, accompanied by the loud beating of instruments. According to another version of this legend, the villagers made a model of a #lion out of bamboo and cloth after discovering that Nian was afraid of #lions, and accompanied it with the loud beating of pots and pans. They waited for Nian on the eve of CNY, and succeeded in driving it away. Henceforth, the #liondance was performed annually on CNY with drums, cymbals and gongs. Nowadays, the #lion_dance is performed not only during CNY, but also for opening ceremonies, welcoming of important persons and other auspicious occasions.🦁 🧧 #BeastNian #YearBeast #NianShou #NianBeast #NiánShòu 👹 🧧 #CNYLions #ChineseNewYearLions 🦁

amazing fight! quick question: you seem pretty comfortable running through their lightning AOEs, like at 11:43. is there a pattern to the lightning strikes that you're recognizing? how are you able to avoid getting hit there?
@Xerieh3 ай бұрын
I think the lightning has like a general area in which it spawns but the exact position of each individual bolt of lightning is random so in previous attempts sometimes I would just die to a bolt of lightning I ran into that spawned in a place I couldn't see which is very annoying when that happens.

I have a problem with this boss, sometimes when he uses his straight fire breath attack (breathes fire in a straight line at you), some of the flames end up ricocheting off the ground and not following the straight path, instead flying more to the left or right. I always get hit by those flames. This happens specially if he starts the fight with that attack, doesn't matter if I run to the side or spam dodge, I always get hit. How do you consistently dodge that attack?
@Xerieh3 ай бұрын
If he does it at the very start of the fight I'm not sure if there is a consistent way to avoid it. I have managed to dodge it once when he did it at the start of the fight by first sprint jumping to the left and then spam roll to the left immediately after but I'm not sure if that method is consistent.

This strategy still works as of patch 1.13 in which they nerfed impenetrable thorns and in fact this encounter is now easier due to them having buffed both Ansbach and Thiollier. The best way to do this is to spam impenetrable thorns towards the one Ansbach is fighting to help him proc bleed as his weapon also procs bleed.

I'm not fully confident on giving every major boss in the DLC a rating just yet since some I've only beaten once on a casual playthrough or don't feel like I have learnt them enough to rate them with confidence but out of the ones I feel confident in rating: Messmer 7 or 8 out of 10. Rellana 3 or 4 out of 10. Putrescent Knight 6 out of 10. Romina 5 or 6 out of 10. Consort Radahn 4 out of 10.

That's interesting. " this DLC has a hidden difficulty increase on the next NG+ cycle after you beat Radahn even if you were already on NG+7" How can you know this? Who found out about this? Excellent kill as well. Mastery over the boss moveset
@Xerieh5 ай бұрын
I first learnt of it via a discord message from Parallax2137 saying he heard a rumour that the DLC difficulty scales further past standard NG+7, a few days later Dargonsouls told me someone found it existed in the game files (He also showed me a screenshot of exactly how much HP the rememberance bosses gain) and today finally I decided to see if it existed for myself since I had already beaten Promised Consort Radahn on that NG+ cycle I could see for myself by going into the next NG+ cycle and running to the DLC (took about 2 and a half hours to reach the DLC from the start) which is when I confirmed for myself it indeed scaled past standard NG+7.
@aurumarma57115 ай бұрын
@Xerieh So NG+7 DLC+ would be on playthrough 9 correct? Does it continue to scale further on subsequent playthroughs or does it only have that one further increase?
@Dargonsouls5 ай бұрын
@@aurumarma5711It's only the one further increase, and it's basically just an HP modifier on enemies and bosses that stacks independently with whatever your NG+ cycle is, whether that's NG+2, NG+3, NG+7. You'll still get the rune amounts indicative of your current NG+ cycle, but you'll always have the HP boost stacked on top of that if you cleared the DLC in any of your previous cycles. In a way, it kinda screws over challenge runners who are already in NG+7 since it would be easier to get the boost by clearing the DLC in NG and then running through the core game to get to NG+7 afterward.
