How Not To Die in Nioh - 7 Tips For Beginners

[@jmbriss1]

At least I know im not the only to find this game super hard according to the number of graves i see in the first 100m of the demo.

Great tips. Glad you guys addressed the most important aspect first: KI pulse. Ki = Key in this game.

[@carloseduardomejia8455]

I suck at this game. but I'm having a great time!

[@redseagaming7832]

Carlos Mejia I sucked at the first Demon Souls I thought the game was a never-ending being in front of the castle over and over and over again. until I opened that first shortcut and I was like I think the game is achievable now. I have played every game in the soul series including demon souls and blood-borne bought the PS4 just for blood-borne and for Dark Souls 3 I don't care if it has a PC version I prefer the PS4 version. I'm going to play this game when it comes out and I'm going to buy a brand spanking new.

Most important tip: If you look at the red grave markers long enough it'll tell you what killed that player. I feel like there would be a lot less drownings if people bothered to read the markers near the puddle.

Mentioned too many things that players should've read from the tutorials. Here are tips to survive that many people just don't know: 1.immediately start on spirit stat getting all the passives your spirit can give because these are more powerful than boosting that attack from 20 to 23. 2.By offering items to the shrine you also have a chance to acquire more elixirs. 8 is the max limit you can hold normally and it refills to 8 instead of 3 if you have extras. 3.Kodama blessing also has a passive to acquire elixirs easier. 4.The oasis spell summons a healing pool that can actually heal you fully, saving your elixirs for later. Grab it. 5.You're weight % plays a big role in how good you can manage ki.

[@dominicjesus96]

Never played Dark Souls or Bloodborne because I saw/heard how difficult they can be. I'm by no means a casual gamer who plays 2K, Madden, or COD here and there. I just like to have fun and enjoy myself when gaming so I avoided these titles. However I've put maybe 2-3 hours into this demo and as frustrated as I get (like I figured) it is an amazingly designed game. Gonna play all weekend to see if I can beat it and make my final decision on whether to buy it or not.

[@Walamonga1313]

If you like this game definitely get the Souls. They're challenging, but much easier than this game. If you do get them, start with Demon's Souls, then Dark Souls, then Bloodborne, then DkS3.

[@dominicjesus96]

Walamonga 1313 Demon's Souls resonates in the back of my mind like it is familiar but it's vague. Is it a predecessor to Dark Souls?

lol when i dont play nioh (taking a break after 7 hours), i go on youtube and watch nioh videos.

[@AsiaAziatics]

at first, its difficult fighting all the enemies because of low rarity gear and weapons but honestly, this game is all about patience. keep leveling up and choose the good build setup armors and the rest becomes a bit easier to manage. i almost gave up playing nioh but after slaughtering onryoki, then chopping dwellers, skeleton soldiers and yokis apart, it got easier for me how to manage ki and different stances. overall, this is a challenging game and not for the player who doesnt believe in the way of the bushido. ;) ^___^

As long as you watch your ki and make sure you use your explosives, projectiles and magic items and don’t rush things then you should be fine

Very helpful guys thanks as always for the great tips, currently playing the last chance trial demo, hopefully this helps me get through it

[@Phanhsackdy]

I'm about a few years late but I just started playing this. Thanks for info 👍. I'm still having trouble with the blacksmith lol.

[@LordCanti89]

actually you get samurai skill points through the proficiency of the type of weapon you are using. flip through your status screen and you will see weapon proficiency. Ninja and magic i still haven't figure out how and if you get skill points outside of leveling and items

[@PlayStationAccess]

+KingBoro That's familiarity, isn't it? Unless you mean something else. You can also pick up consumable items that give you magic, ninja and samurai points.

[@LordCanti89]

proficiency covers all the weapons of the type. when you get a samurai skill point a text pops up saying the proficiency with swords has increased. there is an item called a whetstone that increases the familiarity with your currently equipped weapons by 150, i used them to reach maximum with a couple 900 familiarity weapons but did not gain a samurai point. I looked at the status window and flipped a couple pages and noticed proficiency bars to each weapon type. did a lot of testing and playing around in the last trial demo to figure out the system and much like rob become overleved to beat bosses without trying so hard. there is also specific armor sets like in the witcher 3 that if you equip a certain number of that set you gain some stat buffs. also its good to hoard a load of weapons for the blacksmith to soul merge them. I took a rare level 15 weapon and made it level 29 through the soul merge

[@Horizonlotus]

Just played through the entire trial. Using the same weapon type can give you a samurai point, where as using the same specific weapon increases familiarity.

[@LordCanti89]

yup pretty much and the rate you will get from using the same weapon time gets slower and slower. this is how the game encourages you to try different weapons since as far as i can see there is no stat requirement for the weapon types

[@PlayStationAccess]

Ahh gotcha, I see the difference. Thank you!

[@Eishern]

You guys are the best. I played the last beta. You guys just talked me into playing this one again to learn chi pulse. I am also interested in the chain weapon. But I'll probably end up with an axe + spear build when the game comes out.

[@nicholasdeforte845]

Yay another nioh beta! I've been wanting to play more of it for a while

[@keife1991]

i played around with the ninja and magic stats, they work the same way any other stat does, a higher ninjutsu stat will cause higher damage with ninja items, and higher magic will make magic items stronger, it doesnt affect length of buffs or debuffs though, which is disappointing, but if you specialize in dexterity you can stop using weapons as your main and just use kunai or even makeshift bombs to completely destroy your enemies. at level 50 i used a level reset item to change where my stats were, and with 50 points in dexterity a single kunai can do around 400+ damage. and at that level you get around 30 ninjutsu capacity points to set your jutsus. it is very possible to completely main as a ninja or onmyoshu, try and stack the unlimited ninja or unlimited onmyosho stat on your gear if you do decide to do that as it will reduce the likelihood of consuming your respective ammo, im not sure if you can stack it up to 100%, but if you can that would make you never have need of conventional weapons, unless of course youre an onmyosho that likes to use the elemental buff weapons scrolls.

[@andreasedborg2250]

Haha, i just wrote a comment that i craved a new Nioh vid and here it is. I really looking forward for this game, since i thought that Dark Souls 3 was a dissapointment and didn't still my hunger. Time to dust off my PS4.

How was DkS3 disappointing? I thought it was great. True, it is like a mix n mash of the previous games but it still has its merits.

[@andreasedborg2250]

I don't wanna sound lika a elitist douche. But i thought that Dks3, just like Dks2, was too easy. I didn't feel challenged enough.

[@Walamonga1313]

Andreas Edborg Well that's because you're already used to the mechanics. Souls games aren't about being hard (except DkS2).

[@andreasedborg2250]

I was already used to the mechanics when i played Dks1, so you can't blame it on that. And personally for me, the souls games is about getting challenged.

[@Walamonga1313]

Andreas Edborg I was too and that's why I felt the reputation of DkS1 was erroneously attributed. The game's strength wasn't just being punishing but fair, that was just one of the aspects that made the series.

It's not just the weight of weapons but the weight of armour as well. Red is pretty much death since you can't tank your way through any of the fights in this game. But i assume if you're playing this you'd have some experience with dark souls

I say try the Demo first because I understand that this may not be for everyone,I'm just giving some of the feedback after playing the Alpha and Beta

[@vinceagashi1121]

I've been swapping stances the second I started playing. The moveset of the Kusarigami really encourages it as even right from the get-go the varying movesets have quite a lot of utility.

[@stratmanuk]

Started playing Nioh a couple of days ago and I just found the old Dark Souls style critical back stab when you creep up behind someone! An absolute 'must have' skill (why it isn't just a default move like in DS I don't know). It's in the ninja tree btw :-). One horrible thing I've also found out the hard way is that Nioh doesn't save your game status if you quit the game during a mission (like DS does), I'd cleared the whole of the Deserted Village and opened the gate, I didn't want to pray at the shrine as that resets all the bad guys so I just quit as I had to go out; when I loaded the game again the bloody gate was locked and I had to do the entire mission again!! ARRGGHH!

Loved the beta, it is a really challenging game but not unfair. About ki recovery for me it's all about rhythm, after a couple of hours with the same weapon I kinda knew by instinct how many attacks/dodging I could do before pressing R1, luckly because those visual clues are non-existent to my eye, I'm always too focused on the enemy to notice them 😆. My only complaint so far is about the world, it looks a bit flat but of course it's JUST the beta so I'll wait to see the complete game (or maybe Miyazaki-san has spoiled me a bit with his level design and Art direction). Can't wait to play it!! Ps: I would have liked to create my own character, it feels missing.

I honestly really didn't get a real feel that the game had specific builds or anything. Felt like going jack of all trades here really was no problem.. But still, the skill reset option is there, so maybe the full game has more options?

[@rishithsinha]

I really want them to continue the Skyrim videos.

[@dcyphermanplays8233]

is there any RESPEC option available? I tend to mess up builds at the beginning 😎

[@kylecgobel]

Dcypherman - in the betas no not sure about the full game i want to say they will have one but we will have to wait and see

[@dcyphermanplays8233]

Kyle Gobel yeah I hope so I've done a Respec 3 times in the Witcher so far :-)

[@phallictechnopirate678]

Dcypherman - Yes. There's an item you can buy called Token of Reincarnation or something like that. I know cuz the UK got the new demo early

[@dcyphermanplays8233]

Cool thank you

[@seanwattsmoore8507]

Dcypherman - same

[@welcometovalhalla2884]

Looks like you don't have iFrames while dodging. I'll have to get used to that.

[@PlayStationAccess]

Depends on the stance I think.

[@mugiwaralee9592]

Welcome to Valhalla Yeah the dodging is not like Dark Souls or Bloodborne. It's taking me a while to get used to that. Block is way way more important in this game than in the Soulsborne games.

[@DemonLordSparda]

You have Iframes when dodging, but only at the very start. In souls you tend to have Iframes through the whole thing besides the very end. In the Last Chance Demo that came out today the boss has a fire breath attack that you have to run away from or dash through.

[@welcometovalhalla2884]

Sparda Oh that's cool, while I like iFrames they feel really OP, especially in DS3 and DS1. Having a few at the start of the animation instead of 10+ during the whole thing should be good. Even Better if it's only for low stance.

[@DemonLordSparda]

Low stance gives you more technically because you travel further. I'm not an expert but I think low has 5 frames medium has 4 and high has 3. However low stance dodge is a fast dash for dodging, mid is a slower dash, and high is a slower roll. Also with high stance if you dodge you can sort of make a quarter circle during your dodge to get to an enemies side. I like how it works especially since stance switching is instant so you can perfect ki pulse and switch stance to flux in order to get even more stamina back and optimize dodging. The technical skill ceiling is high in this game.

[@henryh1620]

If I haven't played a Souls game, should I choose this over DS3?

[@samsant3238]

Heiße Henry No.

[@gauravacharya1905]

Game looks really cool and challenging

[@spartankittygames]

looks intresting but I am looking forward to horizon zero dawn and for honor more. I just never got into the souls series the gameplay just felt kinda dull and there was not really a story. that's just my opinion though

[@adamjohnson5967]

spartan kitty games I wasn't to big into the souls series but really enjoyed this.

[@spartankittygames]

Adam Johnson cool I am thinking of maybe trying the beta version it seems a bit different

[@michaeldevlin5421]

spartan kitty games have you tried bloodborne?

[@TheGoldenPS1]

spartan kitty games There is a story in Nioh. It's nothing like From Software's dark fantasy action-RPGs. Their story is minimal but Nioh is rich. Many, many cutscenes.

[@Dawill44]

Good thing this isn't a souls game.

[@sp1cyfriedrice453]

It took me quite a while to move from the Dark Souls mechanics to Bloodborne's. Which of the two games would Nioh's be comparable with?

[@TharusPSN]

the speed of the game is more Bloodborne.

[@redseagaming7832]

Saai Shankar oh i switched over to blood-borne without a hitch because I played both Dark Souls 1 and Demon's Souls and gave up on Dark Souls 2 because I found Dark Souls II bad compared to Dark Souls 1 and Demon Souls. did not beat Dark Souls 2 until I got the PS4 version. bloodborne is the game that got me onto the PS4.

[@eldritchenigma5492]

Zackary Smith is bb better than nioh overall?

[@pizzamozzarella_]

Finished the trial in 2 and a half hours with only 4 deaths. I finished even the twilight stage very easily... The boss was good but has easy movesets when you'll get used to it. Anyways, it was a good little taste until its release. I'M HYPED.

[@tokyoe100]

About time a game like this comes out, srsly Japan! Been desperate since Onimusha.

[@Dawill44]

Never played a Ninja Gaiden game...?

[@tokyoe100]

I did, also played all Soulsgames, BB, MGR, but this comes as close as it gets to Onimusha. I'm happy :)

[@Bawheidbob]

This looks great - I hope it turn out to be good.

[@AhJong0]

Great vid - much more appealing to me than Dark Souls.

[@obafwsmeshuggahcrazed7836]

I'm not gonna lie, I never could get into Dark Souls or Bloodborne, but this looks fun, maybe if I play this game I'll go back and play those other ones

[@Wakshak321]

I read that the game is going for 70 hours for an average player, is that a legit way of looking at it? also makes me wonder what the skills are gonna work out like, if its a more specific build based game or if you end up 'unlocking' all skills by the time the game is over. Either way, with dark souls series being over its good to see games like this and The Surge coming out. Hope to see more of this sort of games From the masters themselves tho

[@TharusPSN]

Felt like you could unlock a majority of the skills just in the beta. As for length I think they said the story is around 40 hours but the game goes into NG+ like mode at the end where levels get bumped up in difficulty with more powerful enemies and new enemy placements to play over again for the best loot.. but in the beta they rotated after a few days with only a few available at a time.

[@jambre1018]

Which weapon is best for defending ?

[@D00M3R-SK8]

I ended up liking this more than dark souls. I hope if from ever make another game in that style, they take some pointers from the stance system in Nioh. would be awesome.

[@xFinalR3sortx]

I'm more excited to get this game than my upcoming birthday lol

[@OdinTheGiant]

Who's here from buying the nioh collection 2021?

[@JoJoFan87]

Here's a question, can I get this game for my PS4 Slim and it will run at a native 60fps or is it one of those cases where I need to get the "pro" for the best experience like "The Last Guardian"

[@gevatsu9982]

JoJoFan93 It shows an "Action Mode" which stabilizes the frame rate. I really hope the is a 60 FPS feature.

[@haxanlord]

This game's going te be amazing. Felt the same excitement as when I first played Demon's Souls

[@IvaraAra]

In all honesty? The game really didn't feel that hard, i finished the last chance beta in a few hours last night. The only boss that took a few tries was the samurai 1v1. Other than that it was quite easy, same as the souls series. Saw people getting killed tons over some trash mobs though. Biggest problem with the game i was having is stamina, seeing that you are a free kill if you are out. Other than that i am really looking forward to this game, a instant purchase when it comes out.

[@Armoured.Goomba]

Watched a couple of game plays played first beta not bothering with the 2nd one just waiting for the release now cant wait to get tortured by this game. As a souls and bloodborne fan this is a must for me

[@khalifax5405]

I died in this game more than soul series combined. I'v deleted the first demo because it was too hard, but I will install the last trail demo to redeem myself.

[@jonh886]

I didnt eve n have a chance to play becuz i was playing bloodborne when the demo was out

[@KingDonWahed]

jonh 866 well now you have a chance to play it ;)

[@yausingchan]

You shouldn't play it like the soul game.

[@jonh886]

KingDonWahed of course imma try to master the combat

[@jonh886]

jm bro nioh will be very tough for the new commer. glad i played bllodborne
