Best early game tip: fight all Revenants with purple colored gear, they'll drop the best equipment for your level range. If you can get into a Twilight Mission early, go and farm those Revenants, you'll notice a massive improvement on your gear and the game'll suddenly become a lot easier for you.
A quick tip for those who dont want to constantly look at the ki bar for the pulse. Just look at your character, their should be a blue aura around them, that's when you ki pulse
@@wantedfreak12 I got the free one. Entered into the game not knowing what to expect and spent a whole evening being murdered over and over in the first area and at the first boss. After what seemed like 30 or so tries I finally got him. Now I'm stuck on the second boss, but I feel like I've finally got the basic mechanics down and am enjoying every try.
A suggestion since GH didn't mentionned it, there's a skill called flux which helps recovering a lot of ki, I'd say that it even destroys the game on some aspects but seeing it's something that's dependent on the player's action it's a lot more recommendable than abusing magic and debuffs.
@@juble7086 if you get one shot by her dash and can't time your dodge, just block it, you won't be able to punish her, but she won't attack you till you recover your ki
"Dual katanas are less as good in low stance" idk, seems to me that D.katanas are exceptionally good in low stance because on the speed and amount of hits it does in that stance, best used when you're also putting points in ninjutsu and onmyouji because it procs element and poison talismans on bosses and enemies like nobody's business
Ferrick Indeed. Kusurigama and Dual Katanas are proc weapons. Put some lightning and low stance and you can keep a boss at snail level for the whole fight. It's a breeze.
4:53 the trade up with Heavy armor is you can block more effectively so it changes your playstyle to a more minimal move compared to Medium or Light armors. You block a big blow while in Heavy armor, you'll see your Ki drain but not completely empty. You do the same in Light, you'll get winded. The stat that shows this is Toughness in the status screen, the higher the better if you want to be able to power through attacks and block effectively.
This is VERY useful, thanks. From the video I didn't see a point in wearing heavier armor, because I thought I would mostly need to dodge better, but in this game, you often need to block even if you don't want to (when caught in a combo). Thanks to you, I'll now experiment with different armor more.
high level play involves restoring your ki and changing stance at the same time (pressing both inputs at the same time) yes you can do that you also have to set up your moveset to have options on every stance
1 tip I found was to put 1 of every consumable item in the storehouse, so when you exceed your carrying capacity they will automatically get sent there.
And I am trying to make a playthrough without dying at all. This is truly a test of skill and courage. Wish I could help you but I think it is impossible without PSN subscription. Am I right?
Another tip which im sure many people know, especially bloodborne/souls players, is to change your dodge button from X to L1. That way you can fully control your camera and dodge at the same time :D PS4 settings > accessibility > Assign controls
Why would this benefit Soulsborne players when dodge is circle? I turned off the camera settings and fully control it like in Dark Souls with the Right Stick. I've never used L1 in Nioh whatever that does
@@andrewcraig443 I dodge almost exclusively, I have blocked probably less than 10 times, haven't completed it (as it's ridiculous) but did almost all the bosses aside from the last one. Same in Bloodborne, Dark souls, The surge etc I almost never block
Its a solid game, if you're into action rpg this would be a good addition to your collection. Souls from what I played (bloodborne,ds3) have a better feel and atmosphere to them, but slashing away in nigh can be refreshing lol
Heavy armor isn't bad really you just have to make sure your guy is made for it. In other words strength saves lives if you want to look like a full fledged samurai.
Good shit! I just got the game on sale for Black Friday for $16 so I'm diving deep when I get the time. I found the tips on the rolls and stances to be particularly useful
“Think about the stance you’re in” Idk, low stance spears keep out game is pretty insane, and then the vault, retreating slash, and the pole kick are cewl. Might be biased, as I am primarily a bloodborne player, and shields/guarding don’t exist there. Well, they do, but they’re not the greatest
there is also a visual cue around your character for the ki pulse, you'll see a bunch of white particles swirling around your character. when they get really close to your character you can do the full ki pulse. it's kind of hard to get used to, I still have to look at the ki bar and it takes your eyes off the action
you can use the visual around the character to time a perfect ki pulse as well. when the orbs have almost finished being absorbed, that's when you hit it. I had not realized you could do it off the bar, but I only just started playing this tonight.
Kaneki Needs A Hug scream at my TV 2 hours in, 'why have I got no fucking stamina all of a sudden!'.. luckily I worked it out myself but what a twat that was
ki pulse : man, heaven and earth skills have the wrong description, they don't increase your attack strength they eliminate ki consumption from your next block.
One minor kinda niche tip: If you fall from a high ledge that isn’t an instant kill, press X right before hitting the ground to reduce damage taken or potentially save your life
This is one of the best games i have ever played. I just beat the first boss. it took me a long time. it could have took less if i watched this video. Its a game that makes you think and its mechanics prevent you from button mashing. I bought a ps 4 for this game because i heard a lot of good review. I also bought the ps 4 for the community. i did build a computer but you cannot find the same amount of players for multiplayer for a majority of the games. I got the pro ps4 and it does a really good job. not a good as the computer but good.
birdsoup777 Since you have a PS4, you can't miss this masterpieces: The last of us Remastered: you're gonna laugh, you're gonna cry, you're gonna have fun, you're gonna love a good story in an awesome game. Bloodborne. Dark Souls 3. Nier: Automata, one of the best jrpg out there right now, outstanding story is outstanding. And of course Horizon Zero Dawn. Welcome to the PS4 community.
Dark Souls 3 and Nier: Automata are not PS4 exclusives and the guy has a PC so it's probably better if he goes for the PC versions of those. The rest though are great games, and yeah, welcome to the community.
yeah I spent an awful lot of time trying to solo first boss Then I did a couple of missions and came back to revisit the boss and I absolutely obliberated him lol
Ive been playing through the whole game with heavy armor and around 95% weight, it drfenatly dose lower how much you use your stamina but you begin to quickly learn to be more defensive and doge more because of it
It is. On my Twitch channel! I'm going to make a video to quickly show the world/lore and show the first mission. Then, point people to my Twitch where it's all happening!
Yeah, it's pretty versatile, but I do know that the enemies that like to drop low to the ground are much easier to kill if you just drop to low stance really quick and then swap back to mid stance after. I tend to use mid stance the most, and switch up to low stance for certain situations, but I almost never use high stance, because it's to slow for my play style. I'm one of those armor percentage below 30% fellows, lol. I just love running in, swinging for a few attacks and then being able to dodge clear the hell out of the way of most attacks.
Definetely doable but nowhere near optimal. I've been using the sword as well and sometimes the high stance is the best for poking, guard-breaking and hitting enemy weak spots (like the horns of some yokai). Low stance is good for stun-locking enemies with a spam of light attacks and/or getting a few hits at almost no Ki cost.
2:00 There's no small difference between dodges in mid/low stances, low stance eats 50%~ less Ki per dash, and you can also dash as many times as you want, while in mid stance you gonna dash and then roll. Also dual swords sucks imo, opportunities for full kombo with 'wind god' ending are a bit rare, and they only work on human opponents, and also not all of them.
My ps4 got busted and Sekiro was still inside. I’m going to this game because it’s mostly like sekiro without grappling, parrying, death blows and mikiri counter
PS4 The console of Bloodborne, Nioh and God of War! Just to name a few! PS+ offers really cool free games every month and Bloodborne was 1 of them a few months back. If anyone is loving Nioh and is new to this genre than you must go buy Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1 Remaster, DS2 SotFS and DS3 Fire Fades Edition asap! I recommend starting at Bloodborne and DS3 first to hook you into Souls which will make you appreciate DS1 and 2 way more! Bloodborne is the most closely compared to Nioh out of the whole Souls series so maybe start there first but DS3 should be next to start your full on Souls journey. They are all equally amazing but I find DS3 and DS2 sotfs my personal favorites of the whole Souls series. Although I love them all to bits so its hard to choose. If you follow this advice, you will be in gaming bliss for like the next 2 years straight because there is so much fun explorative and character building content. Have fun! Make sure to go to work and school though. Lol 😝
Don't mean to bring it up or anything if you mentioned it, because it didn't affect quality. But you sound a bit sick and I hope if you are that you feel better soon :(
So your Ki pulse explanation was way more complicated than it needed to be, If you do the tutorial in the dojo and watch the "movie" on how it teaches you to Ki pulse you will be in much better waters than if you go off what this guy says. There is a visual cue that goes around your character that will let you know when to Ki pulse until you get later in the game and just know when to do it automatically.
how can you do a Ki Pulse while paying attention as well. I've had this problems with the Big Yokai with the Crystals sticking out. I am more of a low stance user meaning i cant stun them giving me no break to Ki Pulse.
Darkened lantrn that's the point of it, if you could easily do it, flick between watching the bar and dodging the encroaching enemy and tapping R1 at the right time consistently, you become very dangerous. Once you learn to stay calm during tense fights it becomes easier, but I'm 25 hours in and don't use ki pulse consistently. It's a new introduction to these games and in Gears of War your are usually ducked behind something giving you more time
Hahah, Hi Dan glad to help. I'm actually from Yorkshire and lived here my whole life! I know my accent is strange, I've grown up around many different accents and most of my friends are not from here. I have a weird accent compared to a normal Yorkshire accent!
A lot of them actually. I'm using a Ninjutsu + Onmyo hybrid character and he's quite good. This is just a few of the good ones (so there are more, remember that), but I recommend grabbing Kunai (requires Shuriken first) which is GREAT for finishing off almost-dead characters when you're fighting 2 or 3 at once and one has like 10hp etc.. or also for if an enemy is shooting an arrow at you but you're too far away to hit them, and most importantly Kunai can also do Ki damage so it can cause an enemy who is out of Ki to fall on the ground exhausted so you can run up and do a Final Blow Critical hit. The Kayaku-Dama and Horoku-Dama etc.. skills are also quite good in general for taking out tough enemies you wanna stay a distance from or groups of enemies gathered together (since it hits them all); the Paralyze weapon buff is supposedly quite good but i haven't experimented with it much. As for Onmyo, the elemental weapon buff talisman's are a must; i'd recommend getting most of them and swapping depending on what type of level you are in (the water area with the Umibozo is GREAT for Lightning Talisman since it's a water enemy), the elemental "shot" ones are also decent. I've found that the Guardian Spirit Talisman is also VERY powerful especially in early game, because if you use Daiba Washi as your spirit it does a wind attack that knocks almost any enemy on the ground, dealing several hundred damage to them and letting you get in a free Final Blow Critical attack and you can just use it over and over till you run out of talisman's. It's GREAT for taking out high level Revenants, just make sure you aren't too far away and they aren't blocking super well or it won't hit. By far the most overpowered Onmyo Magic Skill is the Sloth talisman that slows enemy movement speed! It can be used on BOSSES to slow them down significantly, which allows you to easily buff your weapon, throw more magic or ninjutsu at them etc.. because they are too slow to hit you while you prep your weapon buffs etc.. and you can run around behind them hitting them before they can turn around. Note this works best on large bosses like the Ogress, Nue etc.. For example, it won't let you walk all over Hino Enma; but it DOES help.
Three words. Mid Stance Kusarigama. Nuff said. Stuff is BRUTAL for fighting multiple enemies, it does a long range swing of the chain to keep them at distance with the square button attack. Use some well placed ninjutsu or Onmyo with it and you're golden. For example, group the 2-3 enemies together then whack them 2-3 times to knock them back and hit with Daiba Washi Guardian Spirit talisman (knocks them all on their ass so you can final blow attack them doing huge damage), or alternatively use a lightning/fire etc.. talisman to buff the Kusarigama itself. Another tip is that if one of the enemies are almost dead either use a Shuriken/Kunai to finish them off or swap the Kusarigama to high stance and hit triangle which does a SUPER long range bash with the weighted end of the chain doing big damage.
My answer? Don't. There are few situations where you are forced into fighting more than one or two enemies at a time. If you are forced to fight a few at a time, I tend to try to quickly kill the smaller enemies so I can focus down the bigger threats. As to avoiding this situation, things like stones, shuriken and the like are great for potentially pulling enemies away from groups one at a time. Also, if you haven't been using them much, bow and gun headshots can be amazing. If there's two enemies, peg one off with a single shot head shot, and then run over and finish off the other. This game even makes headshots fairly easy to pull off, especially if you haven't aggroed any enemies yet. The aiming reticle will turn read when you have a head shot. Pull that trigger and watch the massive damage go off. Useful for one shotting weak enemies and weakening and sometimes stunning larger enemies.
Lmao I'm like level 7 up too the part 10 mission and I have no idea how to play XD managed to make it this far without doing nothing but pressing square :D
Can anyone help please ! I've finished the first mission & accidentally chose it again ! How can i get out of it without beating it again ?! Please please please !!!!!
HuNTeR official you probably have your answer by now. but when you start a mission your given an item. some kind of branch that you use to return to the world map.
As +Mr Dayum Fine said, you can use an item to get back. Theoretically you should also be able to simply run through the level real quick to finish it again with no trouble. At least assuming all the shortcut doors etc.. are still open? If they are you can just walk up the hill to enter the Feudal Lord's Manor area where the 1st giant Oni Yokai was, then run past that area to the Shrine near the burning village; head through the shortcut door to the right of the shrine and head to the boat to meet Hanzo. Mission Clear!
Best early game tip: fight all Revenants with purple colored gear, they'll drop the best equipment for your level range. If you can get into a Twilight Mission early, go and farm those Revenants, you'll notice a massive improvement on your gear and the game'll suddenly become a lot easier for you.

Not at all viable in later stages in the game, because of a lot of effects. Learn the timing and or look, it's not that bad.
Dante Sparda thats how i do it and I'm done with the game. I always have a perfect or close to perfect ki pulse.
I never thought to do this, this helps so much. Thank you!
flare3000 no prob :)
lol didnt even know you could look at the bar
insanely steep learning curve, game makes you want to quit early, dont give up, stick with it and your ninja skills will grow

Tip: If Ki is low, don't block if applicable. Not blocking will cause Ki to recharge very quickly vs. holding down the Guard button.

how can you do a Ki Pulse while paying attention as well. I've had this problems with the Big Yokai with the Crystals sticking out. I am more of a low stance user meaning i cant stun them giving me no break to Ki Pulse.
Darkened lantrn that's the point of it, if you could easily do it, flick between watching the bar and dodging the encroaching enemy and tapping R1 at the right time consistently, you become very dangerous. Once you learn to stay calm during tense fights it becomes easier, but I'm 25 hours in and don't use ki pulse consistently. It's a new introduction to these games and in Gears of War your are usually ducked behind something giving you more time
Axe and I use one stance high...never die never fall and wreck shit. Simple.
Great video mate, thanks! Can I ask, are you from Bristol but moved to Yorkshire because that is the only solution I have for your accent..?
Hahah, Hi Dan glad to help. I'm actually from Yorkshire and lived here my whole life! I know my accent is strange, I've grown up around many different accents and most of my friends are not from here. I have a weird accent compared to a normal Yorkshire accent!
thank you for the tips
This is literally necessary information, as in the game teaches you this in the tutorial.
Been stuck in this boss for 2 days
lmfao now I know why in the beta suddenly 1 attack destroyed all my ki
What onmyoji and ninjitsu skills are good?
A lot of them actually. I'm using a Ninjutsu + Onmyo hybrid character and he's quite good. This is just a few of the good ones (so there are more, remember that), but I recommend grabbing Kunai (requires Shuriken first) which is GREAT for finishing off almost-dead characters when you're fighting 2 or 3 at once and one has like 10hp etc.. or also for if an enemy is shooting an arrow at you but you're too far away to hit them, and most importantly Kunai can also do Ki damage so it can cause an enemy who is out of Ki to fall on the ground exhausted so you can run up and do a Final Blow Critical hit. The Kayaku-Dama and Horoku-Dama etc.. skills are also quite good in general for taking out tough enemies you wanna stay a distance from or groups of enemies gathered together (since it hits them all); the Paralyze weapon buff is supposedly quite good but i haven't experimented with it much.
As for Onmyo, the elemental weapon buff talisman's are a must; i'd recommend getting most of them and swapping depending on what type of level you are in (the water area with the Umibozo is GREAT for Lightning Talisman since it's a water enemy), the elemental "shot" ones are also decent. I've found that the Guardian Spirit Talisman is also VERY powerful especially in early game, because if you use Daiba Washi as your spirit it does a wind attack that knocks almost any enemy on the ground, dealing several hundred damage to them and letting you get in a free Final Blow Critical attack and you can just use it over and over till you run out of talisman's. It's GREAT for taking out high level Revenants, just make sure you aren't too far away and they aren't blocking super well or it won't hit.
By far the most overpowered Onmyo Magic Skill is the Sloth talisman that slows enemy movement speed! It can be used on BOSSES to slow them down significantly, which allows you to easily buff your weapon, throw more magic or ninjutsu at them etc.. because they are too slow to hit you while you prep your weapon buffs etc.. and you can run around behind them hitting them before they can turn around. Note this works best on large bosses like the Ogress, Nue etc.. For example, it won't let you walk all over Hino Enma; but it DOES help.
just curios, what happened the last week?
IRL stuff, needed a break. It happens!
thanks for tips :)
Low stance is fun as fuuuck
You dont have to use all stances
I like mid stance with sword
Nioh is soo good I've played the Beta and the Last Chance Trial.
Any tips fighting 3 or 4 enemies at once? its hard
MVP 001 Mid stance spear works pretty well.
Three words. Mid Stance Kusarigama. Nuff said. Stuff is BRUTAL for fighting multiple enemies, it does a long range swing of the chain to keep them at distance with the square button attack. Use some well placed ninjutsu or Onmyo with it and you're golden. For example, group the 2-3 enemies together then whack them 2-3 times to knock them back and hit with Daiba Washi Guardian Spirit talisman (knocks them all on their ass so you can final blow attack them doing huge damage), or alternatively use a lightning/fire etc.. talisman to buff the Kusarigama itself.
Another tip is that if one of the enemies are almost dead either use a Shuriken/Kunai to finish them off or swap the Kusarigama to high stance and hit triangle which does a SUPER long range bash with the weighted end of the chain doing big damage.
My answer? Don't. There are few situations where you are forced into fighting more than one or two enemies at a time. If you are forced to fight a few at a time, I tend to try to quickly kill the smaller enemies so I can focus down the bigger threats. As to avoiding this situation, things like stones, shuriken and the like are great for potentially pulling enemies away from groups one at a time. Also, if you haven't been using them much, bow and gun headshots can be amazing. If there's two enemies, peg one off with a single shot head shot, and then run over and finish off the other. This game even makes headshots fairly easy to pull off, especially if you haven't aggroed any enemies yet. The aiming reticle will turn read when you have a head shot. Pull that trigger and watch the massive damage go off. Useful for one shotting weak enemies and weakening and sometimes stunning larger enemies.
Lmao I'm like level 7 up too the part 10 mission and I have no idea how to play XD managed to make it this far without doing nothing but pressing square :D
Good video
When are you gonna play nioh 2?
Love this game!
awesome
Can anyone help please ! I've finished the first mission & accidentally chose it again ! How can i get out of it without beating it again ?! Please please please !!!!!
HuNTeR official you probably have your answer by now. but when you start a mission your given an item. some kind of branch that you use to return to the world map.
Mr Dayum Fine thank you soooooo much !!! 😭❤️
As +Mr Dayum Fine said, you can use an item to get back. Theoretically you should also be able to simply run through the level real quick to finish it again with no trouble. At least assuming all the shortcut doors etc.. are still open? If they are you can just walk up the hill to enter the Feudal Lord's Manor area where the 1st giant Oni Yokai was, then run past that area to the Shrine near the burning village; head through the shortcut door to the right of the shrine and head to the boat to meet Hanzo. Mission Clear!
Haha I did this and had to fight the stupid paralysis bitch again.. hated her.
I knew most of this, but it was helpful nonetheless
i played alot of sekiro so the pulse thing is pretty easy
