Rise of the Ronin "Other Halves" level 100 mission Solo + Build

[@coreychancelor211]

Great vid!! How’d you get merciful blade and Hizen tadahiro on masterwork?

[@davidtsmith33]

Man that combat was a sight to behold. Cheers. How many waves of enemies keep spawning though bro? I just reached around halfway of the vid and numerous spawned already and more are still spawning. As a matter of curiosity. What happens if you beat numerous waves and then get killed by a subsequent wave? Do you lose, including losing your accumulated Karma and have to start all over again or what?

[@hotnspicy9808]

Appreciate it! In this mission, there’s 3 groups of 4 enemies. Each group spawns 2 and if you defeat 1, the next one is coming. If you notice, once I defeat the first 4 enemies, the game delays a bit to spawn the other group. Total is 12 bosses and yes if you lose in the middle, you start from the beginning including losing your karma but, you can get it back from the enemy that defeated you by doing a critical hit to him.

[@davidtsmith33]

@@hotnspicy9808 Wow. That's one hell of a mission. I must remind myself before going into that mission not to go into it with a load of Karma in the kitty and go in at no less that level 100 just in case. I imagine that is in Chapter 3 right? Probably late when you're at a pretty high level already. It sounds like an interesting mission though.

[@hotnspicy9808]

@@davidtsmith33 Not a chapter, it’s an “Ally Mission” the more regions you unlock in midnight difficulty through a red progress bar doing main and bond missions, the more ally missions will unlock. There’s 5 of em.

Not a checkpoint, it’s a boss rush mission with the category “ally mission” showing combat and how this build hold in the end game.

[@ashurageek1060]

Is that mugai ryu? Where you thrust twice and then jump to thrust again?

[@hotnspicy9808]

Hello there! No that’s a Martial Skill called “Piercing Fang” that I have applied by the action buttons R1+O to Gikei Ryu stance which I got from Mugai Ryu obtained by Hajime Saito.

[@SomeUnkindledAsh]

I wish the other weapons got as much love as the Katana.

[@hotnspicy9808]

Totally agree, katana has 12 stances and it’s super fast pace. The other weapons are limited almost on every aspect.

[@SomeUnkindledAsh]

@hotnspicy9808 the martial arts are INSANE too. Those waves you used are crazy good for applying status. It covers nearly every situation. Hopefully we get DLC with more weapons and stances

and how’s the Parry mechanic ? Forgiving? Super tight? Lies of P? Sekiro? Wo-long?

[@hotnspicy9808]

The parry mechanic is sekiro style and yes it’s forgiving, however, some weapons have better parrying window then others, meaning, you can parry easier with certain weapons compare to others.

[@LordEnt-jn4ow]

@hotnspicy9808 what are the best weapons to make parry?

[@hotnspicy9808]

@@LordEnt-jn4ow Katana been the best using tatsumi ryu stance which is very beginners friendly, since the parry window is extremely forgiving. Another weapon which has KINDA the same perks is polearm, using the stance Shinto Munen Ryu. It’s not so easy like the katana, but it’s definitely forgiving enough. Rest weapons clearly depend on your good timing parrying attacks.

[@yanskichamba]

Also, where does the masterwork hand picked cologne drop??

[@hotnspicy9808]

Once you get it the first time from Ryoma after the veiled vow option on its yellow form, you can either continue gifting him presents ( 10+ of what he likes or with Knot of destiny gift) or you can farm it from the ally mission “Other halves” by defeating him but it’s not an easy drop. About the gifting system, save your game and give him gifts. If you don’t get it, reload your save and repeat. The more gifts the more the items… I Think, 10 gifts is 1 item.

[@yanskichamba]

[@certifiedcib7958]

Handpicked Cologne; Veiled Vow with Ryoma

[@mariomonium]

@@certifiedcib7958 but it's Excelent type insted of Masterwork.. I've done the Veiled vow with him and get the excelent type item..

[@hotnspicy9808]

Every character related accessory needs to be earned at first, then, you must farm it from high level missions which this character is in… In this situation, you need veiled vow with Ryoma, which in this case will be Yellow rarity, then go to “other halves” mission and farm it there. Note: You must defeat Ryoma in order to drop it. Of course… Not all times will be red and also it doesn’t drop frequently.

[@mariomonium]

Make sense now.. I need to progress to chapter 3 on midnight then to open the other Halves ally mission, I'm still on chapter 2.. Thank you..

[@joblessstillrich]

How you get kusaka family drug mould? Please let me know

[@hotnspicy9808]

Hello there! Listen carefully. First, you need max bond level with Gensui Kusaka! Now, in order to get his Accesory ( Kusaka family drug mould ) you need to trigger his veiled vow option. To do this follow these steps… Go to chapter 1 on the mission “Infiltrate the Prison Complex” Choose to follow Gensui Kusakas plan! Afterwards, finish the mission. Then immediately go to his bond mission “Easy Living” exhaust the dialogue and once you finish and you go back to your hub, a message will pop and it will say that Kusaka wants to interact with you. Go to a timeline where he is alive, talk to him and have a relationship. Then, you’ll get the accessory. Now keep in mind that the accessory is gonna be yellow, however, you can farm it from the mission “other halves” to have a chance to drop it as a red rarity and of course by defeating Gensui. Note: The accessories of the relative characters through veiled vows ( relation ships) are available to drop ONLY after you max the bond with that character and get their accessories. Ryoma veiled vow: Handpicked Cologne Gensui: Kusaka Family Drug Mould Okita: Colourful Pinwheel Takasugi: Jade Dice Hope I helped!

I don’t remember this mission 🤔 is there a decision that leads to it?

[@hotnspicy9808]

Not a decision. You need to play in Midnight difficulty. At this difficulty there’s a red progress bar where you choose a mission. You need to reach this bar to a certain level to unlock all the areas, then, you finish the available ally missions to unlock the rest.

5:15 How do u do this move?

[@hotnspicy9808]

This move is called “Cardinal wreck” The spesific move has 2 dashing slashes by pressing 2 times R1+X. Now… In this video I am cancelling the whole animation of its first slash attack switching stances with Ki pulse from Nioh Ryu and Tatsumi Ryu to skip the first animation of the move and go directly to its second slash which is a heavy attack. It needs very good timing to perform. You go in Nioh Ryu low stance, then you do a normal attack following it up with a Ki pulse. At that moment you need to switch to Tatsumi Ryu holding R1 and right analog stick with X when you see the Ki pulse and it starts disappearing.

Man why is every1 using tatsumi combat style
