NG+ Nioh -- Divine Gear Explained

Having finished Nioh, I was surprised to find that there's more to the game. NG+ unlocks a variety of elements to the game that I wanted to go over in this video. There's harder missions, ways to enhance your guardians, the real ultimate gear: The Divine class of weapons.

To extrapolate, there are a few rules when it comes to the attaining of Divine Items: 1) Revenants will never drop divine gear with pluses. It's still a great way to get Divine Fragments and farm for a good mixture of abilities on gear, but at a certain point you won't get any real benefit from fighting a massive amount of them. 2) You will only find items up to +6 in the world, in order to get into the higher levels you need to Soul Match two pieces of gear with the same plus level in order to raise it (aka combining two +6 spears will net you a +7 spear). The highest you can raise this modifier is up to +10, which means you have to do a fair amount of farming and soul matching in order to get an item to +10. 3) The Ochoko cup bonus increases as you get into the later regions of Way of the Strong, meaning that you don't want to waste them on the early regions where you only get a 2% bonus. In fact, it is probably in your best interest to farm the last main mission for high level divine items due to the high number of elite level yokai and the absurd number of bosses. 4) Divine accessories are both extremely rare and difficult to obtain with the right abilities due to the fact that you can neither soul match or reforge them. There are several strategies online for farming them quickly such as the "Trail of the Master" mission.

Great information. Thanks for taking the time to post.

[@Jim26D]

good stuff, was wondering if I was ever going to get a plus from revenants. thanks for the+6 info as well

[@mannygames6470]

Might want to check out that first rule. Just got some divine weapons and armor with pluses in them and they came from revenants 🤔

[@andrewpaul1644]

you shouldve gotten further into ng+ before making a tutorial. first 3 minutes are guesswork. yes there are in fact divine set bonuses.

[@alexlewin4279]

Bruh can't pronounce the name of the game

[@xhamthael9415]

It's Nioh Nee-yoh.

[@BlackDot3]

Bin Tuh hahaha you make me laugh !!

[@Ihere123]

Xhamthael Could be, as I say it for fun: Nyoh. But, yeah, it's actually pronounced that (not my fun pronunciation)

[@kensavage7657]

Very misleading title, when you say "Divine Gear Explained". You weren't explaining anything - you were just making guesses, based on whatever you saw at the time....

[@Incalor]

Question: I had a 150+10 piece of armor, but I soul matched a 160 with it to bring the 160 to 160+1 (didn't do the opposite as I didn't want to keep the 150+10 piece). Is the 160+1 stronger (statswise) than 150+11 or have I done something wrong here?

[@blacksiid93]

Unfortunately you did something wrong. But hey, keep farming m8, if you didnt really want that piece of armor then you re good to go

[@aflhabalafhabab]

Any advice on how to Soul Match Equipment to +10? Is that possible in Way of the Strong?

[@SilverDawnbreak]

can you do a video on what every guardian spirit does, like each have their own stats and passive abilitys but what exactly do each of their special attack? like does the spider guardian special to just slow or does it just apply earth debuff.

[@Game-wisdom]

Are you looking for a breakdown of the guardian spirit screen, or seeing the different guardians in action or both?

[@acetraker1988]

They random roll so pointless.

[@SilverDawnbreak]

Game-Wisdom i was thinking of seeing them in action since there is no explanations in how they all work.

[@Game-wisdom]

Gotcha, if I have a chance this weekend, I'll try and do a video showing them all off.

[@Kankerpatient123]

Brook Harvey another explanation to them is learning how to read

[@jamesreyes8555]

"No hoe" 😂

[@Ch35h1r3C47]

I wouldn't feel too bad about not being able to pronounce 80% of the words in the game, they aren't exactly sounds you normally make in English. Also you lost me when you spent ages doing nothing in the crafting menu, sorry. Thanks for the starting info though.

[@shannonkinnaird5964]

what about the word "writhing" lol

[@soul2310]

so i have to beat the game and start ng+ to get access of green gear?

[@YeOldeMachine]

Yes

[@emperorsingh3552]

Complete 'The Demon King Revealed' and you get Divine Gear

[@cowartd]

This is a very informative video. I just want to point this out, you are pronouncing the Kusarigama wrong. You are say kus-ri-gama, it is Ku-sari-gama. You don't seem to pronounce a lot of the letters in the word lol.

[@Game-wisdom]

I had a feeling that I've been butchering it the entire time. Thanks for the explanation.

[@RogueSeraph]

Game-Wisdom You've been butchering up the name of the game too xD

[@danielyang4947]

I am on Level 400 with Body 99, Heart 40, Stamina 19, Strength 35, Skill 99, Dexterity 99, Magic 30, Spirit 21. Life 5187, Ki 180 and couldn't level up any more on Ki above 180 and now I have Amrita 284722521 but Amrita Needed for Next Level shows ___________ and no required numbers? Do you have any Idea why?

[@heuvelke1065]

It means you need to quit the game and move on finally

[@danielyang4947]

[@tommytrucker1448]

heres a good idea. have a point

[@PATRIOTxx3]

How does inheritance work with divine weapons? I've tried getting a trait on another weapon. my familiarity is max on the weapon with the trait. sometimes it works with higher + weapons sometimes not. Sometimes it works with different weapon types, sometimes not...WTF?!?!

[@Game-wisdom]

Inheritance works through the material item that you are adding to the base. The material has to be equal to or higher level than the base that you want to add it to. You also can't add a trait that's already on the base item.

[@Ihere123]

Do tell me: what is NG? New Game? Every time I see that, I thought it was meant for "Newgrounds"

[@Game-wisdom]

It simply means new game, as in: You're replaying a game again, usually at a higher difficulty level and to get better stuff.

[@Ihere123]

So, it IS New Game! I thought it was that, but you never know. It could mean something else, like No Guns or Nioh Goods. You know, you can always put the difficulty. It seems to make more sense than NG, but they're both the same thing.

[@fireninja27]

Can you get divine weapons on first time playing the game

[@Game-wisdom]

Technically yes; there is a chance for them to drop from the last two bosses in the game. But they're not meant to show up until the second difficulty.

[@rosehearttoxic1691]

You constantly miss pronounce nioh, ni oh, not ni ho ...

[@BarokaiRein]

somebody cares about crafting? Lol I quit crafting forever the second I didn't need to craft new Raikiris,only reason I did that was that it was cheaper than soul matching.

[@lukejacques]

NI-OH NOT NI-HO, dang

[@HvyMetlAlchemist]

it's knee-oh nioh. not knee-ho niho..

[@CptEddyPrice]

ni ho's hahah

[@johnmccrystal3499]

Please practice your diction.

[@heuvelke1065]

You need to calm down a little
