Nioh 2 is Harder Than Sekiro

[@DxGamer0097]

A few quick tips Afroboi: 1) Those red attacks enemies do are their special counterable attacks. It's a risk reward deal where if you use your burst counter (which costs your anima purple gague) it'll drain their ki dramatically letting you get some good hits in. 2) Whenever you attack, if you look at your ki/stamina meter, there's a white part that is left over. It'll fill up to being pure white, when it's fully white press R1 to regain that lost amount. That will let you keep your stamina up and dodge because I notice you leave yourself without any when on the offensive. 3) Those tiny green men give you buffs depending on which you choose at the shines. They can give more exp, more materials for crafting, more armor drops, more weapon drops, and more elixir drops. Edit: Loot rarity is like Diablo in a way, it goes from White (common), Yellow (uncommon), Blue (rare), Purple (epic), and Green (divine). So you pretty much won't find many green pieces of armor or weapons and therefore purple will be your highest rarity. Hopefully that helps a little bit, keep it up bro, much love SenjuGang!

[@Azzie134]

^^^ This, definitely.

[@Od253]

Would also mention that finding the green guys can increase your elixir total. Which will get reset back to 3 when you reach the next region. You’ll need to find more green guys in each region to increase that amount.

[@mistahnogood6098]

Also kill a lot of revenants to get good gear fast :) and take a benovelent one with you with the cups you get from revenants to survive easier.

[@mastadon1154]

Also once you get ranged weaponry use it to clear out areas or reduce numbers to avoid Ganking of the highest Caliber Some Monsters with horns can be destroyed and they take heavy anima damage use your Yokai abilities to finish it off to get a critical strike. Also watch out for walls with eyes And treasures chest with three bars just whistle. use your items to they can help out in a pinch avoid unnecessary fights speed up familiarity get your Yokai transformation faster. Also Elements have effects study them to. Good luck in your gaming man.

I have always feared that putting that boss-like experience of that guy so close to the front gate of the first level that it could possibly scare away players from this game. The truth is you don't even have to fight this guy. You can go around him and continue to get items, build up your character, etc. If you fight him immediately, then you have nothing, even your moves are limited, because so much needs to be unlocked. It's like if one of them appeared on your lawn at home and you walked out there with a butter knife and wearing a bath robe. But if you do fight him straight away, burst counters surely would help a lot!

@DemonSoul well it's certainly different than sekiro but again it's just another thing you have to learn

[@reperfan4]

@DemonSoul I can't speak for Sekiro since I never really could get into that game like the "traditional" Soulsborne titles, but I'd say Nioh 2 has a more difficult early game than any of the other Soulsbornes/Souls-likes that I've played, though it gets easier and easier by the mid and late games. The early bosses almost all took at least half a dozen attempts, but by the 7th or 8th boss I was downing them in no more than 3-5 tries with several of them going down on the first, blind attempt with only the final boss and one other late-game boss giving me as much trouble as any of the early fights. I'd chock it up to the fact that not only do you understand the mechanics better as you play but also the way your gear and abilities scale end up giving you a lot more options for how to handle fights. Basically, the early fights were only so difficult because you simply lacked options outside of mashing basic attacks. Early game in Nioh 2 is definitely one of the hardest Souls-like experiences out there, but as a total package I'd say the game is overall only about as difficult as the first Dark Souls. The difficulty is just a lot spikier with more peaks and valleys rather than being as tightly consistent as the actual Souls games.

[@matteoc.6670]

I love this game so much! Use more your bow to snipe enemies, it will toned down the count of monster you will face at once. Use sacred arrows against demons they are highly effective. Try to single out single enemies and take advantage of the companion feature, it helps a lot having an npc taking some aggro. Use talisman and ninja tools to increase your proficiency and unlock skills in your tree! Magic and Ninjitsu tools are super helpful. Elemental Kunai, imbuing your weapon and setting up traps ( it depends on your playstyle ) . Fight the revenant to get better equipment and cups to summon companions. Search for the Kodama ( little green guy ) , it will give blessing according to the one you chose ( increase equipment drop, elixirs and so on ) . Dark Kodama are purple ones and you gotta drop an item to make a trade. It will then pop at the shrine selling equipment. Chest with three golden stripes on the side hide a mimic inside. Use the whistle emote and then use the same emote the mimic used to skip a battle and get the same loot. Most of one eyed demons if hit on that spot they get stunned for several seconds giving you a good window to attack. Use lighting vs snakewoman, use fire against jellies, use water vs the guy with one leg and hammer. If you think single player is hard, try co-op...the difficulty scales insanely. This are few tips that probably already everyone gave you, but oh well :D Cheers! Love your content!

As the guy above said, Ninjutsu is looking crazy right now. Onymo magic still is good but Sloth isnt not as strong as it used to be. You better make the most of it if you using it since its harder to apply it again.

Burst Countering is KEY. Wasting anima just to avoid attacks is a waste unless its a last resort. And keep stamina so you have a dodge or two in your pocket

[@jordanplanas176]

You need to learn to use ki pulse to recover your stamina. You also need to learn how to block and dodge normally without relying on the Yokai dash unless you're actually performing a burst counter. Also, let your stamina recover before you rush in and attack. You keep rushing in when you only have stamina for one attack and leave yourself vulnerable. You probably should've played the tutorial tbh, it explains a lot of the stuff you didn't know.

I died 2000 times just in the first map. haha also for example karasu tengu? the human / bird hybrid with the staff? remember? he is manageable in nioh 2, but in 1 He is just almost impossible!

The kurisigama is op, the scythe sucks early-mid game. The dual axes and regular axes are below mid tier. So its Dual swords Tonfa Kurisigami (omnyo buffed beats tonfa) Katana Odachi Spear Scythe (omnyo build very viable none early) Dual axe Axe

[@thatch8537]

Kuri is speed runners dream weapon. Early if infused with omnyo, has the highest dps in the game in low stance. But good luck unlocking omnyo early (possible level 1 if you spam the soilders at the start with kodama offering bazaar, only 2 per run, sp very tedius and limiting but brief high dps is the payoff)

You're getting a good grasp of the game, you just need to learn to Ki Pulse after every combo so you have more stamina. Once you get that down outputting damage on bigger opponents (especially when their Ki is broken) is going to be a lot easier and smoother.

My man's is using the Feral type yokai form the attacks good but thre burst Counter is ass. Brute counters but the animation is slow. Phantom has the best Burst Counter in the game cuz the animation is instant. Later in the game you can choose two yokai forms I think after the 6th boss. The best weapons gotta be the Tonfas and Switchglaves.

[@XenojinHayabusa615]

Hol up... Lemme clear things up with the burst counters, because they all need a certain amount of skill to utilize to their full capabilities... While brute counters are "slow" they are used to stop red aura attacks in their tracks. You don't even need to risk being hit because of how it works. It even doubles as an attack to lower enemies' ki other than just yokai obviously. As for feral burst counters, 1. Its instant as well as phantom counters. 2. They both require timing to pull off. Unlike phantom counters, feral counters doubles as an extra dodge when in danger. While phantom, if you mess up the timing, you lose almost if not all of your ki. Anyway, that's my two cents...

[@lookathisfeet4779]

Xenojin Hayabusa I was gonna add that he can use the phantom for the counter and the feral for Dodge (after the sixth boss) but I'm lazy.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, the Soul Cores (hearts that appear when killing enemies) provide a boost to your Guardian Spirit's attack and defensive buffstget give you when you equip them. Each Soul Core, depending on the Yokai, allows you to use a special ability called a Yokai Ability. They range from sending forth a monster to steal Amrita, attacking with the monkey yokai attack, turning into a flaming tornado, etc. In addition, they also deal a pretty significant amount of damage to the Yokai's ki bar, and once drained, allows you to wail on them for a bit. If you take the time to master them and the abilities they provide in the Dojo, they can really give you an edge in the game. It's a commonly overlooked feature from what I've seen so far. Hope this helped, Afro and anyone else who found this useful!

Here is the difference. In Nioh 2 if it's too hard then you can just grind out some levels, get better gear and go back. In Sekiro, as happened to a friend of mine, if a boss is to hard you can just keep trying to beat them until you win, or in his case, give up and quit the game. Overall, moment to moment, Nioh 2 IS harder, but it is more forgiving/accessible because you can grind levels and gear.
