*Update to include Remodeling.*
Remodeling only works with +1 or higher weapons. You won't see these until near the end of the story, but it lets you modify the scaling of a weapon within it's 3 primary stats.
For example, Kusarigama is D+ Strength, C+ Skill and B+ Dexterity. If I were to Remodel it I could change it to A- Dex & Skill, but Strength would drop to D-.
Alternatively if I didn't want to focus Dex but liked Kusarigama I could boost the other two, making it B Strength and A- Skill while Dex would drop to D+ scaling.
This allows you more flexibility in your stat builds and makes your weapons more closely aligned with your build to squeeze out more damage.
Alright question I've found a way to put attack plus on my weapon so I've decided to keep using the same weapon I have 6 stats on it and wanna keep using it cause it's really good with my build well it's level 85 and I have a level 90 weapon. They are both purple but it doesn't let me do it same thing if I take a level 90 soul core and attempt soul match it doesn't let me do it any thoughts?
Nvm just figured it out so in nioh 2 you can only take a weapon so high for example if it started at level 50 it can't go over a certain level it has a range to it
Yeah alright saying all that but how do you unlock the god damn thing
@@professorsmiles4324 Complete the sub mission "The Roaming Artisan" but to unlock that you need reach the "Dream Region". Also you have to finish all the black smith sub missions before you get this one.
@@normandy2501 You can farm the material that you need to make them at the blacksmith. I usually farm for glory so I can go to the tea house and buy the mats then make it in the blacksmith. If you wanna know to do that just go to Forge > Tools. All that stuff is normally at New Game+.
Had a lot of folks asking questions about this already so hopefully this gets you all into the OP club like me.
neeeeeeeeed more nioh 2 asap ;D
I need some op Odachi build stuff
“Make this weapon our own”
Cowboy those are pants
Somebody comes at you with a pair of Pants, you'll never see it coming.
weaponized pants
I do appreciate your talent for crawling inside these games, taking their systems apart, and then explaining them to the rest of us. Very helpful info, thank you!
I'm a huge fan of this game and for the longest time I thought I knew even the basics but after watching so many of your vids I have realized I still had a lot of learning to do. I was playing the game before with soooo many disadvantages but now I really feel like your tutorials have helped me maximize all the areas needed for doing well in this game and allowing me to min max well. Thanks for so many awesome builds and tutorials. I still love this game but I have to show my appreciation. Keep up the hard work!
Thanks for the fairly quick yet thorough explanation of this whole system, now i can start making the most of my resources
Thank you so much for this guide! I didn't have a clue as to how any of the Blacksmith stuff worked so it's great to have it all laid out like this plainly.
You’re a godsend. I came back for the DLC and completely forgot how to forge. Thanks.
Thanks for doing this man 🙏🙏. Seriously, I never took the time to fully understand the blacksmith from the first game, but you simplified it for me really well 👍.
Skill much important then armour.... I saw nude guys killed hardest bosses.... No armour...
Great guide. I’m glad they simplified it a bit. Love tweaking out gear in the blacksmiths. 😎
Your video on the charge blade helped me in MHW. Now you've helped me in Nioh 2. Cheers Cowboy, thanks for looking out for the rest of us
Thanks again, I can seemingly always count on finding one of your videos for any game I'm struggling with or have questions about.
Appreciate the content Cowboy... it’s like reconnecting with an old friend.
The simple tweaks they have done for this sequal make it so much more enjoyable.
I am using brute for the counter and have a tough time hitting it as well. Just adding that has made the combat a lot funner.
Dude - just played Wo Long, enjoyed it, but all it did was make me wanna play Nioh again! :) So I started from scratch and when I went to the blacksmith my brain just turned to fog ☁. This video is super helpful; I stopped and basically freeze framed it as you were forging materials and re-rolling gear to make sure I fully understood what was happening, and now it *all* makes perfect sense! A big thank you, and big love, dude. 👊
Do you know how I get the blacksmith transformation
As always all of your guides prove invaluable. Thank you
3:21 - Timestamp for: Disassembling (How to break a weapon down and salvage crafting materials, so you can make new weapons)....
I would not be able to play this game without these guides, thanks cowboy
damn, thanks for explaining everything good and easily,i never used forging on Nioh 1 when i played it on my ps4 years ago,now i picked up both games up on steam and this tutorial will make me not be so much of a scrub
Your videos have gotten me through this game it's so fun
Just getting into Nioh for the first time and videos like this have been invaluable.
You're gonna be spending more time in the menu than the game!
@@zZiL341yRj736 this is not far off from the truth, and I love it lol
Top work my man, really needed a breakdown of this. 🙏
Helpful video, thank you. Nioh 2 is excellent, stoked I finally picked it up!
Thank you for doing this. I just unlocked forge and not sure what to do. Your video really helped me.
the blacksmith can make gear so much better, I was lucky to have played the first nioh and learned alot there already
I figured there would be some newer comments in here since the remaster. I'm going back through the gane again. You helped me then and you are helping me now. Thanks Fighting Cowboy
How do I get the skin transformation for the blacksmith?
@eddy_is_a_squid potatoe I have no idea. But I'll tell you this ,(off topic), I was having trouble with an late game area. I went on the nioh sub and asked for help. Whoever this person was blew my God damn mind with how good they were. It BLEW my mind with the way they melted enemies that would've taken me minutes to defeat. So, in short, I cannot stress enough how awesome that player was.
@@slicksilver9441 I'm talking about the blacksmith lady the one with yellow shirt and blue pants are we talking about the same one here?
These tip videos really help. I played through all of nioh one and ignored almost all of this stuff
If you soul match your weapon with a soul core of the desired level it works too and is alot cheaper. It costs around 2k when normal soul matching with another weapon would cost me 98k. Seems to only work on your melee weapons though, cant choose soul core as material for soul matching a bow as example. (Haven't tried armor yet)
Remodel was a great addition for people like me, who like using different weapons without having to redo stats or overall build.
Man, you really helped me, thanks a lot. Blacksmith / Soul Core is very confusing at the start
Thanks braff. I completed the first nioh, now picked up nioh 2 and I completely forgot you need to max out familiarity to inherit trades. Thanks for the reminder
Thanx bro helps a lot I currently on main mission 4. I trying to figure out and experiments my builds n take me about 3 hours lol into blacksmith
Thanks for this ! I’m end gaming rn and really really need to understand smithing better in this game
Nioh is just the Diablo of souls likes and i absolutely love it for that!
This is really helpful, thank you!
When I first saw gameplay of Nioh 2, I was rather daunted by the gear. The idea of having to farm and roll on random items drops for gear was not something that appealed to me (too much like endgame Monster Hunter decoration farming, ugh). However, after seeing the way the Blacksmith works in this guide, I will definitely be picking this game up because being able to craft and customize whole armor sets without having to pray for lucky RNG drops from enemies is infinitely more engaging, in my opinion.
Nice video sir. Very helpful.
Thanks dude. Really helpful!
This video is a heaven send
Ohhh this makes sense now, I was a little overwhelmed seeing all the options when I was playing haha.
Nevermind I had to comeback to figure this out again, I dont have any materials by just playing so I need to break things down rather than offer it all at the shrines.
Finally I understand! Cheers.
I'm so stupid. Now I know to keep creating too get purple. Great video!
This is one reason I never got into OG Nioh but I will try to better understand Nioh 2.
Thanks a lot for this! I always saw the systems a bit confusing to understand.
I LOVE YOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS......YOU ARE THE BEST RUclipsR
Maxing out familiarity to move over the rectangle triangle rectangle skills I think is what I needed to realize…
Amazing subscribed
Also could you do a quick Soul Core guide, I'm still a bit puzzled how the soul core leveling works and what it actually does to the abilities. Also a quick run down over the various or recommend cores would be great, a bit hard to experiment with...
I just finished leveling cores, I'll try and do a guide after a have spares lying around
Really helpful for a noob, thanks!
This was helpful thanks
great guide; thx
I just tried the forging option for the first time. But what is the function of it when the best you can make is a 160+1 divine weapon/armor piece? Doesn't seem that useful.
Holy shit, I didn’t know we could temper accessories in two. Nice
i needed this guide
nioh and now nioh2 i never looked this up, i'm already lvl 102 in Nioh 2 (towards the end of end i'm not sure) and have just now learned this. it all seemed bizarre to me and i'm not sure where they have the info on this in game. Good to know, will be doing this heavy on my 2nd play through.
Wow I’m going to have to play around with this stuff on my own more before I can even come to this guide. You go so fast I am lost by minute 4, lol. But that’s fine, I probably won’t do too much damage to my inventory on my own. Ha.
Great stuff cowboy, any general advice on when to sell vs when to disassemble, in Nioh 1 I always disassembled everything but this time I find myself short on money, despite not soul matching. Thoughts?
Mats are generally worth more than the items themselves so if you're broke you could always disassemble and then sell the materials
Can i craft gear i have. Or do i need a smithing text in order to craft regardless of me having the actual piece of gear
yo just found out if u didn't know.
u can soul match a soul cores stats onto a weapon with corruption and that's kinda big seeing as I found some souls with the gold skill transfer on them
Fun fact. You dont have to finish the mission. I got to the boss and ran out of time so i branched out of the mission b4 i complete it and it unlocked smith. I think perhaps u just have to speak to her in the cave.
Hey do you need multiple text for some srmor sets? Cause I got an text once and only 3 out of the 5 armor peices were available for crafting and Im super frusterated after doing all this damn grinding
Can someone tell me wear to farm for the divine version of the armor set if you've already done the mission? After you do it once it becomes purple.
Havent trouble leveling up the warrior of the east waistguard. I won't let me. Am I missing somthing?
I know I’m a bit late but, when you soul match are the attributes on the weapon you’re soul matching supposed to go down? When you showed the example the weapon had +8 imbue corruption, but after adding the material to soul match, although the damage went higher, the imbue corruption attribute was reduced to +6, is that normal for soul matching? Or am I doing it wrong? Or is that when tempering comes into play? Like when you soul match would it be better to then temper for the skills you want?
Do blacksmith blueprints or recipes drop at random or are they specific to a level or enemy
Hey. I have the Blacksmith unlocked but I have NOT completed the second Main Mission Beast Born of Smoke and Flames. What gives?
So i have this weapon with the inheritable ability Damage Bonus (Familiarity) and i've been trying to get it on another weapon i really like, but it wont let me transfer it, i've tried with weapons with no inheritable ability, and some that already had one, but i just dont get why i can trasnfer it to some, and not to others, like the one i want to, anyone can help ?
Can I just hire you to come home n do all this stuff for me? I hate when games get complicated. Takes a mental toll
Once you unlock divine fragments you can make divine gums gear 💪🏾 absolutely shreds bosses
Remodel is cool, it changes the stat bonuses..just noticed lol.
I got the smithing text for seething dragon but I can't forge what do I do
Can untouched ninjutsu roll on any piece of armor or only the chest piece?
Ain't lying about the "beefy boy build" lol I played nioh 1 when it was free for ps plus and figured nioh 2 would be free at some point, now that it is I've been grinding and I'm glad mostly everything is the same as it was in nioh 1 had to get someone else is word on this topic tho 💯
You can use soul cores to level up purple weapons for cheap
Quick question: Im looking to imbue a katana with lightening, i have shock accumulation on it already, can you roll imbuement on any weapon or do only certain weapons get the imbuement (like rairiki in nioh 1) or is it just random chance to save up for and when you get lucky you get lucky?? Love the videos and the guides many thanks in advance!!
Croftzilla You can Imbue Lightning through Tempering on anything. I’ve done this with multiples types of Tonfa and Kusa
In nioh 1 which im currently playing whats the symbol which looks like a white plus sign? What does it mean?
Can't craft quality umbracite, anyone know how to unlock it? Also love the guides and lets play series
Quality is from twillight missions
There seems to be a cap on hoe many times you can soul match right now. I cant get my seething dragon past level 77 and ive soul matched so many times.
You can get the smith as long as you speak to her mission don’t need to be completed
Making the build was always the confusing part for me, not knowing which stats to really focus on. I’m making a dual blades , scythe build
This changed , I like using the scythe, tonfa sword dual blades and Odachi and I don’t know which one I wanna go with
@@Jaychilled sword and odachi are very complementary, with dual blades also scaling decently with heart and strength. Tonfa pairs well with axe builds due to axes scaling well with courage and the switchglaive is more tailored towards magic builds so its a bit harder to pair it with something.
Something to keep in mind though you don't need to focus super hard into 1/2 stats pre-ng+. At that point you don't really have enough levels to make a huge difference so id say focus more on meeting requirements for armor and dump points into magic/dex depending on how much magic/ninjitsu you want to use.
Cowboy how did you get the Fuma craftable items? Is there a mission to farm smithing text for that set?
Just keep progressing, you'll unlock more basic smiting texts as you progress through missions.
heres my question about soul match. what's the point? ok, it increases the level of the base item, but it doesnt change any of the stats on the right. soooo.... ??
TY for the info Cowboy. Great video. I find the tempering option useful but for whatever reason when i try soul matching (in any category) the finished product always has lower stats than what i started with? So i skip it.
Thats because you need to get your familiarity back up.
@@FightinCowboy perhaps one of the weapons im trying to fuse im not too familiar with... but the other weapons are maxed out.
I'm sure you understand now but I'll say it anyway
I'm assuming you're trying to soul match a weapon you've been using and would like to keep? So its gonna have maxed familiarity. When you soul match your weapon your familiarity goes back down to zero, which temporarily drops your attack. But when you get that familiarity back up, then your attack will go above and beyond what it was originally.
Would of taken me forever to figure out without a guide 😂
I never used recourses until now and I’m on (what i think) is the last chapter
5:08 why cant i transfer my weapon skills like damage bonus familiarity to my other weapon , i raised the familiarity to max and i still cant, it only alows crap skills like block
Because it probably conflicts with another stat on your weapon already
FightinCowboy what stats may conflict with this?
You can have 1 damage boost. Change to Attack, Familiarity, Meele Damage, etc
I wonder why some ranges of bonuses (locked, or otherwise) are so low? Even compared to Nioh 1? Amrita earned +0.8% is a joke. Even in the skill tree, there are skills that increase damage by 3%... 3%!!! I feel like a lot of stuff in Nioh 2 has been nerfed to inflate difficulty.
You've gotta stack them I think. I'm only on NG but it doesn't seem too bad yet. I'm in region 4 past the beyblade boss
Is there a way to upgrade the grade of a special effect on armor ? For example ferrymans water lifesteal
familiarity
Do the bonuses stack? AKA...if you have faster winded recovery on both the shirt and the pants does your character revover twice as fast as if you had that bonus on just the pants OR the shirt?
Those won't stack, but a lot of stuff will
im in ng+ however i dont see the option to forge divine gear is there a mission requirement?
Just press triangle
We want more guide videos pls
I hate how expansive soul matching is, I got a weapon imbued with water, but I had to get rid of it because I didn't have money to soul match.
How come my weapon isn't leveling up when I got 2 weapons at the same level
With regard to soul matching, yesterday I tried to move +attack from a pair of gloves over to a chest piece but it wouldn't allow it; this is in spite of the gloves being at max familiarity (and both pieces divine). Did I miss something or was that patched out?
@@halo7172 Actually, shortly after posting, I realised that I already had +attack&defence (switchglaive) on that piece, which conflicts with it.
❤ you Cowboy!!
Is there any information about the pool of Active Skill damage bonuses that can be tempered on light gloves? Can't roll Night Rain Damage on gloves for some reason.
Because night rain exists as a set bonus. Set bonuses can't be found as an inheritable, otherwise use the filter option to look through a full list.
@@FightinCowboy Got it. You have my thanks.
How do I get +1 weapons or forge +1 weapons
hello
is there away to find out what missio drops what text?
ive looked at a few web sites they all have different answers
I feel your pain. However I'm happy to tell you that I found a 99% accurate guide thus far for me. Search Nioh 2 smithing text in reddit and the first one that pops up has two documents you can download
Yokai weapons can be soulmatched using soulcores and its cheaper.
Yes, but ONLY corrupted weapons, nothing else. Also keep in mind almost every boss in the game resists corruption.
Looks like the soul matching gold increase is to make you use the forging for your gear. I kinda like this change over Nioh 1 as end game was basically just farming gold and materials to soul match your gear and reroll your skills.
Huge change is being able to see what skills you can reroll. That with umbracite easier to get it will make end game less time consuming and grindy.
You could already see what skills you could reroll in Nioh 1. You just had to select the tempering option when reforging. Now they've removed reforging and made tempering the main attraction, but it was always available.
