Nioh 2: 10 Tips Every Player Should Know

[@gabrielgiron4273]

Small tip for sneaking around, it worked in Nioh 1 and it works here too - hold the block button and walk up to the enemy. You literally tiptoe around when you do this. Also works great for narrow ledges bc it makes you walk in a straight line. Still gotta get the sneak attack skill tho, just dont want the tiger scroll, such a waste.

[@CaspianMidnight]

Apparently console players can gently tap forward on movement, but since I can't tap W any slower this definitely helps.

[@dickdiggler804]

Thank you

[@CamperCarl00]

Here's some additional tips: 1) Burst Counters, each have their advantages, and some are more valuable in certain situations than others. I would recommend either Brute or Feral as starter guardian spirits as their Anima bonus is more useful in the early game. 2) Soul Core typings can be changed by combining them with mortal soul cores of different types. In this way you can create a phantom type Ippon-Datara soul core. 3) Getting a headshot on an enemy prior to engagement is normally more advantageous than a sneak attack, and leave mortal enemies prone. It's also the best way to grab an enemy's attention and pull them from patrols. 4) Early on in the game, there's very little need to respec if you spread out your points for the initial few levels. Min-maxing is best saved for end-game. 5) Whetstones are a thing, if you have a large stack of them, don't hesitate to use them on your new shiny weapon. 6) I genuinely didn't know that, but there's honestly few instances where I need to pause in the middle of a fight. 7) The Dojo Missions needed to unlock skills are unlocked via story. Also, while the novice dojo missions are easy, they do get harder. 8) You can also get locks of hair you missed in a mission by playing as a visitor. Simply look up where the locks of hair are in that particular mission, and guide your quarry to them. When they loot the hairs, they will also drop for you. 9) Try to get quick winded recovery on a piece of gear and keep it through your playthrough via soul matching. You'll thank me later. 10) Sell blues, yellows, and whites; disassemble purples. Money is important for soul matching and forging. You'll also quickly get to a point where rarity and abilities on your armor are more important than anything else, and it's much easier to soul match a low level piece of gear with baller abilities than it is to play the rng slots to try and replicate it through forging.

[@faelock12]

Tip 10 in your comment is wrong Disassemble everything and forge the lower rank materials into the higher rank ones You can forge crafting mats from the lowest rarity (white) turning them into the highest rarity (purple)

[@CamperCarl00]

@@faelock12 It's highly inefficient for early in the game. I've been tempering like a mad man and I still have around 200 pieces of normal umbracite. Money is more important than common smithing materials due to it being directly tied to leveling up your patronage levels. While it's true that you can forge multiple lower rarity materials into higher rated ones, you'd have to disassemble 350 white pieces of gear for a single purple rarity crafting material (35 yellows and 5 blues conversely). In fact, even the most valuable item you get via disassembling, Umbracite, is so easy to get by just breaking down purples that you'll be positively flooded for the whole game. I followed my own method and am not only swimming in crafting materials, but have the money to actually use them. Gold is still extremely important in the late game, and having a large quantity of it so you can temper what gear you find with better abilities is really the only way to succeed. Meanwhile, I've maybe forged a full set of gear once when jumping into Dream of the Strong, which was immediately replaced with 160 Divine gear I got off killing Revenants.

[@ChristopherRockhill]

There are mimics in this game? 😳

[@bye1551]

@@ChristopherRockhill yeah, they're called mujnas they're based off Japanese myths of mischivious badgers that copy people's movements. If you open a chest and one pops out, it'll copy your appearance, and you wait for it to do a gesture. Then, as fast as you can, do the same gesture back. If you succeed, it'll do a joyful hop up and down, wave, and drop the items. If you fail, either cause you were too slow, or did the wrong gesture, it'll do a tantrum like emote, stamping it's foot and stuff. It'll then fight you, and you need to kill it to get the stuff. Always try to emote it, because it can do all the stuff you do, it just has less health. Although: you WILL get a new gesture if you fight it. So it's worth doing once for the gesture.

Feral Burst counter is infinitely better than the other two. Brute has no invulnerability, and you can be grabbed out of it. Phantom needs to be perfect or your ki instantly goes to 0. Feral has invulnerability, a wide range, and is useful even if the enemy isn't using a Burst Attack. Needs balance.

[@DGSHoshiro]

Brute can actually counter in the instant the enemy start the move, before even they swing the weapon,unlike the other two (different timers). Phantom works better with heavy armor (much less ki damage in case of miss and you can block again). Feral needs the enemy to swing the arm\weapon to hit the mirage. They are just different form each other, i don't feel like need to be balanced.

Best Advanced Tip : Yokai Weapons ( Corruption ) & Blessed Weapons ( Puritiy ) these weapons at all times they always debuff Yokai Enemies with certain Imbue ( In Nioh 2 if you debuff any Yokai Boss or Enemy twice , meaning anything like Weakness + Sloth or Corruption + Sloth or Corruption + Lightning debuff ) this will produce a 3rd Debuff called "Chaos Debuff/Element" As long as this Element is present on any Yokai Boss or Enemy or Humanoid.... their Whole Ki Bar will stop regenrate ( This also applies to the Yokai Realm Mechanic to all Yokai Bosses in this Game ) this is a pretty Advanced Tip for players in the middle of the Game like i am... Bear in mind that any 2 types of Debuffs still applies ( Even Poison + Paralysis , or Corruption + Poison , or Corruption + Fire Amulet ) 👍🏼 This is a hidden Element/Mechanic that is not Present in any Dojo or anything 🔥 Goodluck ( You can pretty much Delay any Boss Yokai Realm activiation for 10 seconds if you keep stacking this Debuff called "Chaos" it's indicated as this sign ♋ ) an upside Ying Yang debuff.... This debuff is very crucial against any type of Yokai or Yokai Bosses 👌🏼 Not that helpful i'd say against Humanoid Enemies... but it still makes the Job good & done ( Stopping your enemies Ki from Regenration could lead to Insane Damage )

[@UmTalDeUmPH]

It's not exactly 2 debuffs for chaos. It's 2 elemental-based debuffs, so only fire, water, thunder, purity and corruption count towards it with purity and corruption being mutually exclusive since they remove the other one when inflicted.

[@UmTalDeUmPH]

@@omaralajmi1551 whenever you apply a talisman on your weapon that adds a specific type of damage, any already existing damage type will be overwritten.

Unless they changed it since the first game, you stop getting staggered by most normal attacks at exactly 200 (blue) toughness. Anything below that is completely unreliable and is mostly for reducing Ki damage on block, which begins at 100 (green) and scales up indefinitely. Your goal should be to remain at A agility, while reaching at least 200 toughness at some point. Higher toughness and defense if you can, but that's the minimum, and not an easy to reach baseline. You will likely be at B agility the first time you can realistically reach 200 toughness at best.

Magic and jutsu both have multiple buffs that benefit any build. Points in their main stat increase your capacity up to level 30. So its eventually reccomended to get both to 30 at some point. Status effects are also extremely effective. And applying any 2 magic effects at once can inflict "confusion" (or better translated as disorder or chaos). Which is a massive damage bonus.

Is there a way to upgrade weapons? Why isn’t it as simple as just going to a blacksmith and upgrade it to +2,+3 and so on?

[@destroyaX]

For what I've seen so far you can raise the lvl of weapons. Not like the souls game but if you find a weapon early on that you like you can keep raising its lvl so you can keep using it

[@Ashurman666]

Weapon fusion and tempering

[@Scream357]

Most of these things were available in the first Nioh as well.

[@Blockdigit]

its 10 tips not 10 changes boomer 🤷🤷

[@thotslayer9493]

what you want him to do remake da game ? smh

[@zureai]

What can i do with extra equipment

[@proassassin8473]

How do you know what's heavy,medium and light armor.

[@eisader]

Please pause at 6:20. Below the picture of the Armor are 3 dots vertical in a row. If all 3 are white = heavy armor; 2 white = medium armor; 1 white = light armor

[@Mattyb49]

I thought this same thing; would have been a great time for him to say “and you can tell by....”

[@TheUltrasora]

I have a question: Does spinning dragon hurt you or is this bug or glitch.

[@vVAstrAVv]

There are effect you can put on skills that make them hurt you. See if u did that

[@TheUltrasora]

@@vVAstrAVv it was skill customization. I was losing health for increased damage during it activation.

[@vVAstrAVv]

@@TheUltrasora called it lol

How to get the feral counter thing

[@lukai2574]

I had an early night so i could wake up early and play before work, spent all the time in character creation...

[@whiterose8601]

Lukai that’s a big oof and I feel like. A waste of time I didn’t have to create a new character due to having beta and last chance data

[@gilgamesh1148]

Man i can't wait it's really an amazing game

[@gilgamesh1148]

@Hollow Skull well I got it today

[@MasterDao]

@Hollow Skull You know people played demos that were pretty similar to the full release right?

[@rocketscientist14]

Hussain Ra's al_ghul I get to start playing in an hour!! I’m so hype I can’t contain it!

[@gilgamesh1148]

@@rocketscientist14 that's nice i hope you will enjoy it even more

[@rocketscientist14]

Hussain Ra's al_ghul me too! Can’t wait to see all the new bosses & soul cores. All the new badass weapons

[@SwiperLeFox]

I see people making so many builds with so many soul cores and yet I only have one and still haven’t beaten the very first yokai in the demon realm, I’m literally stuck on the very first mission.

[@ct2651]

The only core you, dont hesitate to use it in demon realm, they regen faster on hits inside these realms, also, keep on trying and being killed at the same spot, you will be able to use yokai shift and can the ennemy much easier.

[@CazaliEiben]

Which one is feral? The wolf? I picked my guardian spirit in the demo purely because it was a wolf.

[@eido4220]

The bird one

[@CazaliEiben]

@@eido4220 I guess I won't take the easy way then.

[@eido4220]

Cazali Eiben honestly I’ve heard the 3 yokai forms are easiest depending on the player. The others don’t seem harder tbh I wouldn’t worry about it too much

[@CazaliEiben]

@@eido4220 I just wish the forms looked closer to their related spirit animal.

[@908peruvian]

Beat the game twice. Havent received any odachi skill points. What did i miss?

[@jungleboy13]

Use odachi for awhile as your main weapon. You will then accumulate odachi points. Use this method on each type. You can use it in dojo over and over if you want to farm weapon points. Hope this helps.

[@Mu-zw5bm]

You finished the game without knowing that?

[@brianthomason5022]

This game came with my PS4 and I haven't even opened the plastic on

[@vVAstrAVv]

Boo this man

[@HongFeiBai]

Why pause the game when you can beat all the enemies in the map to make sure one doesn't sneak up on you right when you go to the main menu and you lose all your Amrita?

[@TamagoPlays]

to take a piss ofcourse

[@brandonharmon8930]

This game is like dark souls but actually fun

[@nicholasgambrel3403]

I can’t get passed the first big dude by the reverent and the dojo looking place with the chest and stuff idk how people make it look so easy

[@guy3410]

Can somebody please for the love of God tell me how to change my R1+O I’m so tired of using clarity and I wanna go back to imperative strike.

[@monchokamikaze8560]

Weapons skill points have cap?

[@shebezipzip]

The game is easy if you play it righ..i died 800 times before i knew what to do...all you have to do is level up onyo magic..equip everything that level up magic...use fire lighing water..use the slow magic...use ki speed recovery... Also dont forget to use the canon and the gun... And last thing the best yokai is the yoyo wheel...u get that when u defeat the wheel boss.it destroy bosses when they go dark realm

[@jimmyj5703]

There is no "right" way to play it. You used a magic build, which is an easier way to get through the game. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it's just what you prefer. Dark Souls was also a game that can be trivialized with magic, but that didn't necessarily make it easier for other playstyles.

[@THEDAMINX1324]

Thank you. I'll be sure to follow your tips.

[@EM-vw7im]

Played through the last chance demo, pretty sure I'm prepared for at least the beginning.

[@zaheedhasib]

I bet you a thesis paper from PhD in Rocket Science would be easier to grasp.

[@Reincarny]

Try path of exile 😂

[@Ashenl2d]

I yesterday tried out nioh 2 and i played the first one quite a lot, i didn't like nioh 2 as much as the first one because of the first boss but when i killed the second boss i started to like it a lot more

[@rio7916]

That oh sh;t button saved me thanks dog

[@drake3934]

Freaking burst counter it is easy to perform but I keep pressing R2 and X, I need to practice more

[@Bear_Witness_]

The only semi bad thing I can say about nioh series is it took me til this year to find out about it. So every video & reddit are years old and my input isnt timely lol

[@MrKarlSync]

This will be handy to look back to in November when this game releases on PC.

[@willand31]

My wife and I are making our characters now, so damn nice.

[@whiterose8601]

WILLIAM my characters already made thanks to beta and last chance data
