[@rizavelar3356]

Very thorough step by step explanation. good job.

[@coreypryor7859]

Congrats Next on finishing your Kannagi!

[@NextGamesGuide]

Thanks Corey!

Trust this man when he says that Dhorme Chimera is the most important proc in this whole chain. And make sure to get all weapons you need to proc on ninja. I've been doing this on WAR and, even at 10/13, it feels like where dreams go to die.

[@TheXkyneticx]

Probably was already recommended but for the Voidwalker NMs if your Abyssite Upgrades keep it and build another T2 and it will not upgrade again. Makes the VWNM process easier. You also need Abyssite of Discernment to get clues on Red Proc

[@TheBlindphleb]

How many hours do you think it took you to make the Kannagi? Do you suggest making the Kikoku first?

[@NextGamesGuide]

I'm a bad one to answer this as I started kannagi many years ago and gave up as it was proving too difficult back then. When I came back it went quite a bit quicker but I still ended up getting a Kikoku in the time it took to finish. Kikoku is a great weapon and Metsu can be quite powerful in many situations. So you can't go wrong with Kikoku and imo it's easier then Kannagi.

Please do one for Almace.

[@SageAtoreis]

No point doing this for Almace because Almace has almost identical path as Kannagi.

[@NextGamesGuide]

Actually Almace's path is almost the exact same. The first 3 NM's at the very beginning are different but the rest is exactly the same as Kannagi. Use these same techniques to get Almace done as quickly as possible in Void and Aybssea. Good luck!

Can you get KI for Apademak from gold chest? so instead of getting 60 amber, i can max out amber to find KIs

[@NextGamesGuide]

Sadly not, the only two KI's that come from chest in Uleguerand are Decaying diremite fang and begrimed Dragon hide. Neither is helpful for Apedemak.

[@tintin6759]

@@NextGamesGuide thanks for the information. great videos

[@lulmoink]

@@NextGamesGuide While you can't get his key item, you can get pop items for the Dhorme Khimaira from gold chests if you keep Amber around 80-100. It's far better than sitting around waiting for and/or popping NMs for further pop items.

[@NextGamesGuide]

lulMoink Yes that is what I go over in the video. This individual was asking if he could max lights and get KI’s directly and the answer is no.

[@ahmedalnasser6439]

what about Rifdross 3000 for aftergrow ? you did it or without? it can be good withoutit?

[@NextGamesGuide]

By going with the 10000 Riftborn Boulders we get to skip the 3000 Riftdross step. You can either do 10000 Riftborn or 3000 Riftdross for afterglow.

[@MiriOhki]

@@NextGamesGuide And 10000 Riftborn Boulders is a whole lot cheaper and easier to get than 3000 Riftdross. I've been sitting on the 85 Kannagi myself and debating to get it, but I already have the Aeonic katana, and Blade:Hi's the only good WS that uses AGI, so Kannagi's a bit limited even as a stat stick like Twashtar.

[@tenormartin277]

Another quick question. How are you getting Amber to 60? I keep getting faint amber which gives me 8 points so I end up with 56.

[@NextGamesGuide]

Can get it from Red Chest... 56 will usually work well, you just dont want to pass 60 by too much.

[@tenormartin277]

@@NextGamesGuide Thanks for the tip. I haven't wanted to risk red chests since I haven't been able to find how the different adjectives translate into light amounts. So far, I just know that faint gives 8 and you get to 56 pretty quickly. lol Hopefully I'm luckier in my next trip. The chests weren't giving me anything today, and neither was that jerk Upas-Kamuy. lol

[@lulmoink]

I like your video but I'm torn. You suggest some weird strategies and omit other options such as Zilart T3 Voidwatch and Ambuscade Item purchasing / bartering. Keeping Azure at zero is something I would never ignore, even when someone has thousands of stones and especially if someone is a returning / new player from the preAbyssea era may not have all those stones that you or I could toss at it. Outside of that, congrats on completing Kannagi. I was in the same boat with Twashtar for the longest time.

[@kayossangel]

Fuck doing all this bullshit lol. Holy hell, why se? Why
