Another way to recover your lost amrita is to use a summoners candle. Instead of finding your blood stain, which could be in a boss arena, use the candle instead. It will instantly recover your amrita from where-ever you dropped it. Very handy.
@@misterG2006 still wont save me from constantly falling into water in umi bozu map from nioh 1 lul. just started nioh 2 yesterday and finished 1 st region today. so far so good and havent used a single candle yet
Yeah, stones are low key more useful than they first appear. There’s the obvious use of singling our targets from a group, breaking yokai horns and destroying their ki, also one eye yokai blinks for a short moment if you throw a stone at them as they wipe their eye. It’s not as pronounced as shooting them in the eye with a arrow or gun, but it’s easy to pull off, and gives you just enough time to load a good attack up or heal.
You get used to it. Eventually. I have finally gotten natural with all the controls and it feels so good once you have them down. The trick is to just force it. Use the stuff you feel is difficult till it's not.
Charlie Ricker I got better but I had to get better by trying the online play once I was able to level up it got a bit easier the bosses are still hard though but I’m getting there
I keep forgetting what active skills that I have so I end up just using quick / strong attack combos followed by Ki Pulse and the a back dash and then hope for the best. Rinse, repeat.
Regarding the stone, the reason why the demon's ki dropped to 30% is because you broke its weak point (horn). It is much better to attack its weak point using your weapon tho
@@alvino098 Yep, it was true. Striking the weakpoint in Nioh 1 would mean you drop the yokai to the ground. It wasn't only the Yoki, it also worked striking the Amrita spike in the back face of Wheelmonks, the torax of Spiders, the glowing eye in the Lesser Umi-Bozu or the eye on the One eyed Imps (doesn't work on the big ones, tho).
A small thing I didn't think of for far too long, because other games don't do it. You can equip elixir to ALL of your shortcut menus, that way you'll always have healing even when cycling to other shortcuts.
I always emote with the door. He isnt harming anyone, he is just doin his job and bein a wall. If you know the secret code he let's you in and will only hurt you if you attack him or dont know the code to get in. He is just a bounce guys, no need to take the seal off and kill him. Let him bow and dissolve into the ground on his own accord
To hell with them, they like to place themselves in places they shouldn't be just to mess with people. I looked for those stupid onmyo locks in the snake god stage for like 15 minutes before I stumbled on the nurikabe by chance. They can all get ground to dust!
One I like to use a lot is holding guard to sneak up behind an enemy for a sneak attack. It limits your move speed and I've never gotten detected while doing it. The guard also keeps you ready in case you missed an archer or they do notice you. The reticle with turn red once you're close enough then just let go of guard and end their existence.
AGH so you can snek attack? I have snuck up on enemies before using guard, but never saw that I could snek attack, lol. Ohhh...gonna go Solid Snake on these mofos.
@@kennylaysh2776 It is an ability in the ninja tree, took me a while to find it in nioh 1, i like that a lot of things have been kept around for nioh 2, is easier to get to grips with the game this way.
@@GamingWithAbyss Its hard to see depending on the area, and it's a subtly difference you have to focus on, but it's a nice way to check if there are no graves around.
@@GamingWithAbyss The real way is to check nearby grave swords as well, there will usually always be a "npc" grave to check and underneath it will say "Died for their Neutral/Happy/Bad Behavior"
Actually the best "tips" video for Nioh 2 I've seen so far. Includes allot of stuff that I wouldn't figure out easily on my own. Other "beginner tips" feel like basic things you learn through the tutorials. This plus a video on how to navigate the blacksmith will have someone ready to dive in deep.
My tip. If you want to make the game easier for yourself. Keep your level the same or close to the mission level for each region. That's how I got through Nioh 1 Way of the Nioh difficulty solo. You just have to farm amrita. So looking forward to Nioh 2 to do it all over again and great tips by the way :)
Ooooh, being able to Burst Counter out of the exhaust animation is huge, thanks for the tip. New at the game, loving it, but my DMC and Bayonetta button mashing tendencies slip through and I exhaust myself sometimes leaving myself wide open like that but xD
The chaos debuff blew my mind! I had applied it into enemies but I didn't know what it was/did. And about throwing rocks at enemies to reduce ki... DAMN! I have millions of rocks so I'll start using them!
Also, if there's a Red Grave near by you can stand next to it and it will tell which "behaver" type got them kill and give you a heads up a secert door is in that area.
This is by far the best Nioh 2 Tips video I've seen. Great game, playing right now, and I knew about half of these. Great presentation too, clear, detailed and at the right pace.
The reason why you see higher damage numbers at tip nr 1 is because you applied the status effect saturated (water dmg) on him which make enemies take more dmg from attacks. After the second status effect you get the confused status effect and lastely the chaos effect on the 3rd element. Great vid btw! Thumps up!
I just got this game this month and a good tip for players that I never really seen anyone say that I figured out the hard way is, when you fight an enemy and he has the yokai aura in his attack without the red, just dodge it, it’s unblockable and cannot be countered and will kill you early game
Some more tips and tricks I’ve found during my first day playing: - Talk to npc’s multiple times. They often give you a goodie if you keep talking to them. - Work towards unlocking sloth, it can help with many situations. - Some guardians can detect enemies. - pressing the options button in a menu let’s you scroll through and see what every equipment stat actually does. Something I wish I knew in Nioh 1.
The throwing stone thing is legit. Every Yokai (or most) have a weakness spot. You can easily see those weaknesses as it glows yellow and they're actually fragile, so hitting it with stone or arrow will greatly damage its Ki. As for Enki (the monkey demon), its weakness is its horn. Read the yokai illustration to know their weaknesses
you can hit them with a weapon in high stance usually as well. this is how it was in the first game anyway, I'm not sure if all weapons can break them or not.
13:10 - I, really, misunderstood this one. I thought that it meant that the Ki Pulse would trigger if I dodged an enemy attack at the perfect moment! Your explanation makes much more sense, and has really made boss fights a lot easier! Great video, overall!
Basically 2 new Unique Skills from the Onmyo Skill Tree ( Top 2 Skills ) Each skill requires you to have a 300 Familiarity Weapon in order to use that Talisman , it turns your Weapon into a weapon of Light ( Dealing Insane Damage for 20sec or so ) but it also reduces the Weapon you have back to 0 Familiarity so careful with that 🔥👌🏼 *It's a living weapon mechanic , but instead of Amrita... now it's Familiarity with the Weapon of choice you have* ( 9 Onmyo Capacity for that skill , and the skill next to it )
It’s not throwing the stones, it’s shattering the horn. This is why its a very good idea to start fights against yokai with the high stance, which usually has a vertical attack, shattering their horn, such as heavy attack on switchglaive. In Nioh 1, this would deplete an enemy and drop them to the floor for a finisher, however in Nioh 2 it deals a large blow to their ki instead, needing a little more effort to bring them down. You can achieve this with anything, firearms, spells, attacks, whatever shatters the horns. Horns do not grow back, so capitalise while you can.
At 15:50 - you broke its horns, hence the KI damage. In the first game, if you did it correctly you can knock some Yokai down (ALL of its Ki) and get some massive damage in before they even touch you. Of course, you had to line up your shot correctly to actually hit the horns. You can do the same with weapons, bows and cannons but there's something satisfying about using a rock to punch out a demon's horns and cripple it lol.
All useful and correct but, in my opinion about the weight percentage, the big difference between blue and green is that in blue you dodge a little bit faster than in green. The ki regeneration is the same but the speed of the dodge is a bit quicker and probably longer, like you can dodge some centimeters more far. Anyway great video, I hope it would be helping for those who are new to this game!
Theres a spirit called tengen kujaku, you'll get the spirit fairly early in the game, (by region 3 at the latest I think) It has treasure, enemy, and kodama sensor built in to it so you dont have to have it on equipment. Also it has stance based amrita absorption. If you are in low stance, you will get faster ki recovery. Mid stance will increase your defence, and high stance increases damage and this lasts a decent amount of time.
Put a few points into onmyo to get divination talisman and use those while exploring. It gives every kind of sense passive and they restock at shrines. Doesn't take much investment to get them either.
the stamina empty - burst counter cancel was very interesting to know, I'm a veteran of nioh I and was just about to start II and thats really helpful, thanks.
theres also a skill in the shiftling skill tree (refulgent strike) which gives you an 100 percent amrita bonus for every enemy you kill with a weapon skill which is gonna be very good for levelling up faster
@@GamingWithAbyss well x2 is a pretty significant amrita increase, dunno how much some of the end game enemies give you but yeh, soften em up and then just finish them with the weapon skill, i was using tri strike in the demo with an axe
You talked about Kodama and Treasure Sensor in the video but you didn't mention "Enemy Sensor" which is invaluable for me, to avoid ambushes and such (especially all the mobs that hang from the ceiling and fall down on you to deal huge damage). I actually also use Amrita Sensor to easily find all the lootable corpses and similar things. So, with all 4 Sensors equiped all the time (although I usually remove my Kodama Sensor accessory when I'm not in a mission where Kodamas are hidden), I can make sure I don't miss anything (I just need to check that my radar has no dots left on it). I have my sensors on both accessories, one on my Spirit Guardian and one on a Soul Core attuned to my Spirit Guardian. I saw that there's a Spirit Guardian with all 4 Sensors packed in a neat little package (which would free space for better accessories and Soul Core) but it's not a Feral type and I kinda got used to the Dodging Burst Counter of that Spirit Guardian type. It took me a while to figure out how it worked but once you get the hang of it, it's great, because you can use it to Counter, but you can also use it to get out of the way very quickly even when you're out of Ki. It's the same as what you show in the video with the Brute counter when your Ki is depleted, but it lets you move away at the same time.
It's worth mentioning that you can customize the controls EXCEPT for whatever the interact button is. In this game, it happens to be Circle on PS, which unfortunately, is usually the dodge button in similar games. Of course, if you're playing on PC, this is just a minor hurdle
With the Weight tip, it would be best to show how your armor weight could effect the amount of Ki lost when attacking/blocking. With lighter weight, Attacking drains less Ki but drains more on Blocking. While with heavier Weight, Attacking drains more Ki and Blocking drains less. 👌🏿
The Bust Counter was secretly added to deal with the Tengus. (aka the eagle monks of death) In the first game they would reck you faster than any of the early bosses and even had to be "nurfed" twice shortly after the 1st game came out.
@@akikokazama3122 I am aware that Tengus are Crows. Thou in old lore ( aka outside of they game) they have large heads and freaky long noses. Edit: I just called them Engles in reference to the "Kick' they do in the game and how they rain death from above..
Hi! About the Kodama presence option on accessories, you can actually reinforce any accessory at the forge using umbracite until you get the option. Do it early and you’ll have a much easier time later, lol.
Thanks for the tips! About the travel amulet this only works when you're alive. If you've been killed and taken back to the last shrine you can use a Summoner's Candle to recall your Guardian Spirit and all your amrita.
let's say you died at the boss and that was your first death. you can quickly pick up your guardian spirit and then use your travel amulet to go back to the last Shrine that you were at. you will save all of your experience to level up
regarding the kodama/treasure sensor, if you unlock the divine talisman in the magic skill tree it gives you both of those, plus an amrita sensor, pretty sure it shows you enemy and scampuss locations too
Hyped for this one! 1 quick correction on offering equipment in Nioh (1) gave both Amrita and randomly would gift you expendable items like elixirs. Great guide 👍
Gaming with Abyss its all about quantity and using it to get you to the next level when you are a bit short, plus the extra items/elixirs always come in handy. I could talk this game for hours. Can’t wait to dig into 2
The rock did so much damage to that enemies ki because it broke its horn. You can beak the horns off if every Yokai that has them to do a lot of ki damage. I use the Odachi in high stance and it’s an overhead swing that pretty much always hits the horns. You can probably do it with a lot of other weapons too, even ranged weapons.
Haha nice guide, just a heads up tho, the only reason the stones occasionally reduce ki, is because you're breaking the horn on whatever you're hitting. If a demon is giving you trouble, you can often pull out your bow/musket and shoot off the horn prior to even engaging it. This will make is extremely easy to deplete its Ki. Another thing, since I rarely hear people mention it, but if you do a burst counter on a demon and they have ZERO ki left, you can press triangle to grapple them and do your oni grapple without having to use your ult or whatever its called. The grapple damage is mental btw.
When you get the running water perk, don't let it be the only way you ki pulse as it uses additional ki although it does give some back. Also sometimes you won't be able to get a full ki pulse without taking a ton of damage. I'm learning that now. Basically between ki and health, health is always more important, don't get hit because you are tunnel visioning on your ki pulse timing.
Maybe been said already but correction on stones. They’re damage to health and Ki are minimal and just distractions, if you hit their weak point with anything then they’ll suffer massive Ki damage. In the Yoki case breaking their horn even with a stone will cut their Ki by 80% of max I believe?
The stone lowered that Yokai's KI because the stone broke his horns. Nothing to do with the stone itself. Also.. They don't fall to the ground helpless in this one like they did in Nioh 1.
The problem with farming revenants is that there are way too many that are just switch glaive players and hardly anything else, a few odd fists, axe , odachi and even splitstaff. Just rarely Tonfa, kusarigama or any weapon that isn't just switch glaive.
Thank you so much for this video. Most games would have this as a tutorial but Nioh likes you to suffer lol. Thanks for the advice, The stone walls and mimic chests were particularly helpful, never knew that.
You forgot to mention that the heavier you are, swinging your weapons costs more Ki. But also you lose less Ki when you get hit (AKA Ki damage), you can poise tank through most attacks (Toughness stat is poise. The higher, the less chances you have of getting rattled when you get hit) and you spend less ki when defending, meaning that heavier wheight (yellow) is better for blocking and builds that go heavy on the defense with weapons such as Dual Katanas. Also, if you want sensors, just equip Tengen Kujaku, the first Guardian Spirit you get from Nobunaga. In Nioh 1 you got it by the end of the game but now you get it very early on. It was hands down the best in the first game due to buffing you when you absorb amrita (increase attack on high stance, increase defense on mid stance and increase ki recovery on low stance) and increasing elemental weapon buffs, but also it gave you treasure/amrita/enemy/Kodama sensor, making it the best Guardian Spirit for exploration. Very important, some NPC bloody graves (Or dev, like you called them) drop unique gear that you can only obtain by fighting them. It's usually unique styled helmets like the Dragon Bridge Helmet or the Elephant Trunk Kabuto. Mujinas (the mimics) give you 2 emotes. Overjoyed if you imitate their emote and frustration if you do not. And all yokai enemies have a weak point. It's usually the horns but for example, with the Gakis, it's the belly and with Tessos is the tail (Always look for the yellow glowing part). In Nioh 1 knocking out the horns of a yokai would instantly down them but now it cuts down their ki a lot. And you can cut off their horns with regular attacks as well. Begin in high stance to strike at their heads and you will see it will work.
Enemies that have horns can have them broken, and they take massive ki damage when that happens. Throwing a rock was an easy way to do it in the first game, as well as high stance attacks, but you actually have to hit the horn dead on or it won't work. Yoki, Enki and Yamaba? (the oni lady with the giant knives) are vulnerable to this. Gozuki is as well but I've done that mostly by chance.
yeah they changed it up from the first game and they no longer fall on the ground. But it just never registered that it actually broke their horns. I figured a rock wouldn't do that but I guess in this game it does
Another thing to the KI usage in different weight classes. Not only does it cost more KI to move with more weight, it also slows down recovery. So use those KI pulses! They were nice in Nioh 1, they're a must in Nioh 2
I thought burst counter is like dodging into the red aura attack of the enemy because sometimes I burst counter on their sides, now I can use it aggressively instead of waiting for them to charge at me.. damn, make short work of those pesky Enki, I died a lot from the first one though.. thanks for the tips I guess I'll start over lol
@@GamingWithAbyss yes, I usually wait until the red aura is gone before I actually burst counter them which kills me a lot lol, I just got the hang of it on the 2nd boss(fire boss) which is not as stressful as the first boss(horse boss)
Wonderful video, thank you! It’s sad that back in the day these kind of basics would be explained in the game manual, which we don’t get anymore. Simpler times.
Kodama, Amrita, Treasure & Enemy sensor can also be found on Soul Cores as well as accessories, you can also roll Enemy Sensor onto helmets in the blacksmith.
I need to get used to using the burst stuff more. I have the feral on currently and still just messing around in the first level. The amount of times I could have used the burst dash to get out of the way (when out of Ki) I just have zero muscle memory for this built up, and my Dark Souls Muscle memory is very strong, so it's hard to add in extra things. I think people that never played souls might be able to learn Nioh easier. Going to have to get it down though, as it's a key mechanic.
The choas debuff is pretty unclear. You were talking about two status effects but when that monster had 2 effects the debuff was not applied. only when it got 4 it got Chaos debuff. So is it 4 or is it 2 or does it just take a while?
Great Video with excellent info; I just liked and Subscribed.... Keep it up, I'll definitely look forward to following you especially for Nioh 2!!!!!!!!
If I may offer my own number 1 tip. Play in action mode at 60fps. Screw better graphics. This game demands incredibly quick reflexes and playing at below 60fps leaves you at a disadvantage. Full disclosure: I have not mastered Nioh 2 yet, but I did plat Nioh 1 in my first playthrough, and Nioh 2 is considerably harder at any fps under 60.
Also on equipment weight, blue dodges you much much farther, green a little farther. I believe it also impacts ki recovery speed. I've been staying in blue and if you dodge a lot it's a must.
Very relevant video with the new ps5 version coming out :) Loved the video, super clear and concise. Also I did ki pulse wrong during my whole first play through /rip
When throwing a stone, if the lock on "cross hair" is on yokai's head then you can do ki damage. It's not the certain enemy type. It doesn't have to be a stone, weapons in high stand is very likely to achieve that
is it possible to switch between the shortcut sets you assigned for items? ya know when u assign your elixirs etc. to the dpad, there are 2 sets so that technically makes 8, but when I'm playing I can only switch between 4?
Great video bro! Some questions pls. Isn't the chaos effect the same effect with confusion in the first game? Do you check if soul cores do more dmg if you level them up, besides their passive effects boost? Do you know the difference between brute and phantom s burst counter? I think they are the same. I only used phantom s. Also i didn't understand phantom s Ying Yang ability. During dark realms, does yokai shift last longer or not, because of yokai form boost? One last thing i saw from last trial, in order to forge one armor set with set bonuses, i had to disassemble soul cores instead of armor/weapons for unique materials. Great job bro and sorry for my English
it's basically the same thing except now there is a confusion Elemental damage. I haven't tested out that much but I doubt it works the same as chaos. maybe it will stop enemies from doing their special attacks that won't stop them from regenerating their Ki. I've been mainly using the Brute but all the others should work the same.
@@johnposa3807 Brute has the least range and should be used as soon as the windup for an attack starts to bitchslap the enemy out of it(hence why the small range). Feral is used to dodge towards the enemy the moment before their attack hits you. Phantom is Feral but without the dash.
@@UmTalDeUmPH thanks man. Now i change to feral and i try to learn the right moment of burst. It seems difficult. Which do you prefer? I think brute seems easier
Some great stuff here. The yellow bar for levelling up and the travel amulet especially. I walked into a boss room last night and didn't know how to get back out of it. Can you pause and get to it or will you need them on your quickbar?
most games are really hard like this example Dark Souls. Once you start to get the hang of everything and better gear then it starts to become a little bit easier and manageable
If I had known about Nurikabe earlier that would have saved me hours of frustration... I did manage to get a soul core though which is pretty amazing at low level

The stone throw thing is a coincidence, you're breaking the yokai's horn.
Still cool to know you can do it with a stone though
I always wondered what happened and why I guess I didn't think it actually broke the horn with a stone

It’s not as pronounced as shooting them in the eye with a arrow or gun, but it’s easy to pull off, and gives you just enough time to load a good attack up or heal.
The key is to remember the eight hundred controls so you can draw the right one in a millisecond. .-.
Practice in the dojo if you struggle with pressing the right buttons
It’s a hard game
You get used to it. Eventually. I have finally gotten natural with all the controls and it feels so good once you have them down. The trick is to just force it. Use the stuff you feel is difficult till it's not.

Is that when yokai get horny and lose it
A small thing I didn't think of for far too long, because other games don't do it. You can equip elixir to ALL of your shortcut menus, that way you'll always have healing even when cycling to other shortcuts.

yeah I don't fight him either plus the last thing you don't want to do is die because of it
@@GamingWithAbyss then you just look like that jackass that talked tough to the bouncer, just to get tossed out of the club xD
To hell with them, they like to place themselves in places they shouldn't be just to mess with people. I looked for those stupid onmyo locks in the snake god stage for like 15 minutes before I stumbled on the nurikabe by chance. They can all get ground to dust!
I always kill that punk ass door. staring at me and judging hard af!!
Nah, titles and illustrations need filling
One I like to use a lot is holding guard to sneak up behind an enemy for a sneak attack. It limits your move speed and I've never gotten detected while doing it. The guard also keeps you ready in case you missed an archer or they do notice you. The reticle with turn red once you're close enough then just let go of guard and end their existence.
AGH so you can snek attack? I have snuck up on enemies before using guard, but never saw that I could snek attack, lol. Ohhh...gonna go Solid Snake on these mofos.
@@kennylaysh2776 It is an ability in the ninja tree, took me a while to find it in nioh 1, i like that a lot of things have been kept around for nioh 2, is easier to get to grips with the game this way.
Another option for the Nurikabe is to check its eyes. They are colored like the emotes. Just choose whichever emotes don't match his eyes.
really I never noticed that I always thought they were red. now I'm curious and I want to check this out. thank you for sharing
@@GamingWithAbyss Its hard to see depending on the area, and it's a subtly difference you have to focus on, but it's a nice way to check if there are no graves around.
@@GamingWithAbyss The real way is to check nearby grave swords as well, there will usually always be a "npc" grave to check and underneath it will say "Died for their Neutral/Happy/Bad Behavior"
You just do the other option then the one they did.
I have to re-learn all this again, lol. I had it down in Nioh 1, I hardly ever fought the wall-bouncers.
Actually the best "tips" video for Nioh 2 I've seen so far. Includes allot of stuff that I wouldn't figure out easily on my own. Other "beginner tips" feel like basic things you learn through the tutorials. This plus a video on how to navigate the blacksmith will have someone ready to dive in deep.
thanks I appreciate it
My tip. If you want to make the game easier for yourself. Keep your level the same or close to the mission level for each region. That's how I got through Nioh 1 Way of the Nioh difficulty solo. You just have to farm amrita.
So looking forward to Nioh 2 to do it all over again and great tips by the way :)
Thank you for sharing the extra tip
Ooooh, being able to Burst Counter out of the exhaust animation is huge, thanks for the tip. New at the game, loving it, but my DMC and Bayonetta button mashing tendencies slip through and I exhaust myself sometimes leaving myself wide open like that but xD
Glad I could help!
The chaos debuff blew my mind! I had applied it into enemies but I didn't know what it was/did. And about throwing rocks at enemies to reduce ki... DAMN! I have millions of rocks so I'll start using them!
You can hear the nurikabe when it opens it eyes it makes different noises based on which type of emote will work.
I noticed that and thank you for sharing that tip
Also, if there's a Red Grave near by you can stand next to it and it will tell which "behaver" type got them kill and give you a heads up a secert door is in that area.
This is by far the best Nioh 2 Tips video I've seen. Great game, playing right now, and I knew about half of these. Great presentation too, clear, detailed and at the right pace.
When you fall from great heights just hit triangle you will take *a lot* less damage than hitting x.
The reason why you see higher damage numbers at tip nr 1 is because you applied the status effect saturated (water dmg) on him which make enemies take more dmg from attacks. After the second status effect you get the confused status effect and lastely the chaos effect on the 3rd element. Great vid btw! Thumps up!
thank you I appreciate the support
I just got this game this month and a good tip for players that I never really seen anyone say that I figured out the hard way is, when you fight an enemy and he has the yokai aura in his attack without the red, just dodge it, it’s unblockable and cannot be countered and will kill you early game
thank you for sharing the extra tip
Gaming with Abyss no problem, keep up the good work with your videos dude!
Some more tips and tricks I’ve found during my first day playing:
- Talk to npc’s multiple times. They often give you a goodie if you keep talking to them.
- Work towards unlocking sloth, it can help with many situations.
- Some guardians can detect enemies.
- pressing the options button in a menu let’s you scroll through and see what every equipment stat actually does. Something I wish I knew in Nioh 1.
there's also one that can give you health back. kind of nice I never used it in the first game but it will save you on elixir
panzerW0LF what is sloth and what does it do?
@@RuebenChan1 slows enemy down
Syafiq Illezdaf that’s awesome! How do you acquire this, is it a skill?
@@RuebenChan1 yes, part of omnyo skill
The throwing stone thing is legit. Every Yokai (or most) have a weakness spot. You can easily see those weaknesses as it glows yellow and they're actually fragile, so hitting it with stone or arrow will greatly damage its Ki.
As for Enki (the monkey demon), its weakness is its horn.
Read the yokai illustration to know their weaknesses
you can hit them with a weapon in high stance usually as well. this is how it was in the first game anyway, I'm not sure if all weapons can break them or not.
13:10 - I, really, misunderstood this one. I thought that it meant that the Ki Pulse would trigger if I dodged an enemy attack at the perfect moment!
Your explanation makes much more sense, and has really made boss fights a lot easier!
Great video, overall!
thanks
A few more days ladies and gents
Are we ready?
Yaaaaaaaaassssss
No, waiting for the price to drops to $9.99
Just be Friday already damn
There is Living Weapon mechanic in Nioh 2 aswell 😅
Basically 2 new Unique Skills from the Onmyo Skill Tree ( Top 2 Skills ) Each skill requires you to have a 300 Familiarity Weapon in order to use that Talisman , it turns your Weapon into a weapon of Light ( Dealing Insane Damage for 20sec or so ) but it also reduces the Weapon you have back to 0 Familiarity so careful with that 🔥👌🏼 *It's a living weapon mechanic , but instead of Amrita... now it's Familiarity with the Weapon of choice you have* ( 9 Onmyo Capacity for that skill , and the skill next to it )
It’s not throwing the stones, it’s shattering the horn. This is why its a very good idea to start fights against yokai with the high stance, which usually has a vertical attack, shattering their horn, such as heavy attack on switchglaive. In Nioh 1, this would deplete an enemy and drop them to the floor for a finisher, however in Nioh 2 it deals a large blow to their ki instead, needing a little more effort to bring them down. You can achieve this with anything, firearms, spells, attacks, whatever shatters the horns. Horns do not grow back, so capitalise while you can.
yeah I noticed in the first game they would drop to the floor but I guess it didn't register that would actually break their horns with a rock
Gaming with Abyss - Seems to just be like glass I guess, plus I’m sure your rock throw is mightier than the rest.
Hey dude, just want to say I appreciate the boss skills guide. I was able to farm all of them all thanks to you. Cheers
Glad I could help!
At 15:50 - you broke its horns, hence the KI damage. In the first game, if you did it correctly you can knock some Yokai down (ALL of its Ki) and get some massive damage in before they even touch you. Of course, you had to line up your shot correctly to actually hit the horns. You can do the same with weapons, bows and cannons but there's something satisfying about using a rock to punch out a demon's horns and cripple it lol.
I'm notorious for throwing 100-mph fastball 😂
All useful and correct but, in my opinion about the weight percentage, the big difference between blue and green is that in blue you dodge a little bit faster than in green. The ki regeneration is the same but the speed of the dodge is a bit quicker and probably longer, like you can dodge some centimeters more far.
Anyway great video, I hope it would be helping for those who are new to this game!
yeah the dodging is definitely faster and longer in blue but since it's only zero to 30% you might as well stick to Green since it goes up to 70%
Theres a spirit called tengen kujaku, you'll get the spirit fairly early in the game, (by region 3 at the latest I think)
It has treasure, enemy, and kodama sensor built in to it so you dont have to have it on equipment.
Also it has stance based amrita absorption. If you are in low stance, you will get faster ki recovery. Mid stance will increase your defence, and high stance increases damage and this lasts a decent amount of time.
nice that would be very helpful if you don't have any of those on your equipment by then
Put a few points into onmyo to get divination talisman and use those while exploring. It gives every kind of sense passive and they restock at shrines. Doesn't take much investment to get them either.
yeah definitely that's a good tip
the stamina empty - burst counter cancel was very interesting to know, I'm a veteran of nioh I and was just about to start II and thats really helpful, thanks.
you're welcome and good luck. I like the changes that they made from 1 to 2
theres also a skill in the shiftling skill tree (refulgent strike) which gives you an 100 percent amrita bonus for every enemy you kill with a weapon skill which is gonna be very good for levelling up faster
yeah I agree 100% anything that gives you a bonus to your amrita is definitely worth it and it's going to make leveling up faster
@@GamingWithAbyss well x2 is a pretty significant amrita increase, dunno how much some of the end game enemies give you but yeh, soften em up and then just finish them with the weapon skill, i was using tri strike in the demo with an axe
it's a passive skill so any kind of bonus you get will always pay off especially at the end of the game.
You talked about Kodama and Treasure Sensor in the video but you didn't mention "Enemy Sensor" which is invaluable for me, to avoid ambushes and such (especially all the mobs that hang from the ceiling and fall down on you to deal huge damage). I actually also use Amrita Sensor to easily find all the lootable corpses and similar things. So, with all 4 Sensors equiped all the time (although I usually remove my Kodama Sensor accessory when I'm not in a mission where Kodamas are hidden), I can make sure I don't miss anything (I just need to check that my radar has no dots left on it).
I have my sensors on both accessories, one on my Spirit Guardian and one on a Soul Core attuned to my Spirit Guardian. I saw that there's a Spirit Guardian with all 4 Sensors packed in a neat little package (which would free space for better accessories and Soul Core) but it's not a Feral type and I kinda got used to the Dodging Burst Counter of that Spirit Guardian type. It took me a while to figure out how it worked but once you get the hang of it, it's great, because you can use it to Counter, but you can also use it to get out of the way very quickly even when you're out of Ki. It's the same as what you show in the video with the Brute counter when your Ki is depleted, but it lets you move away at the same time.
yeah having the enemy sensor early on the game will save you a bunch of headaches.
I thought this would be a BS video meant for people born yesterday, but holy crap, I learned a lot, thank you.
you're welcome
Great video. For me when it comes to Kodama and Treasure sensor I use the Divination talisman. It lasts a long time and it shows enemies as well.
that is true and a good point thank you for sharing the tip
Clear, concise, accurate, and no unnecessary fluff. Great video.
Much appreciated!
It's worth mentioning that you can customize the controls EXCEPT for whatever the interact button is. In this game, it happens to be Circle on PS, which unfortunately, is usually the dodge button in similar games.
Of course, if you're playing on PC, this is just a minor hurdle
I’ve seen the Chaos Status effect multiple times as a use but I was also confused on the random bursts of extra DPS, 🔥👌🏿 Great tip.
With the Weight tip, it would be best to show how your armor weight could effect the amount of Ki lost when attacking/blocking. With lighter weight, Attacking drains less Ki but drains more on Blocking. While with heavier Weight, Attacking drains more Ki and Blocking drains less. 👌🏿
thank you I appreciate it
The Bust Counter was secretly added to deal with the Tengus.
(aka the eagle monks of death)
In the first game they would reck you faster than any of the early bosses and even had to be "nurfed" twice shortly after the 1st game came out.
Tengu r crows not eagles 🤦🏻♀️
It was a joke.
Two years of waiting and finally someone took the bait. Now I can ascend into valhalla.
@@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven not my fault u don’t know lore😂🤣
@@akikokazama3122 I am aware that Tengus are Crows. Thou in old lore ( aka outside of they game) they have large heads and freaky long noses.
Edit: I just called them Engles in reference to the "Kick' they do in the game and how they rain death from above..
Hi! About the Kodama presence option on accessories, you can actually reinforce any accessory at the forge using umbracite until you get the option. Do it early and you’ll have a much easier time later, lol.
yes very good tip you can temper an accessory until you get that option
Thanks for the tips! About the travel amulet this only works when you're alive. If you've been killed and taken back to the last shrine you can use a Summoner's Candle to recall your Guardian Spirit and all your amrita.
let's say you died at the boss and that was your first death. you can quickly pick up your guardian spirit and then use your travel amulet to go back to the last Shrine that you were at. you will save all of your experience to level up

Dude, this is SUPER helpful to a new-to-the-franchise guy like me. Big thanks!!
Excellent always good to hear thank you for sharing
regarding the kodama/treasure sensor, if you unlock the divine talisman in the magic skill tree it gives you both of those, plus an amrita sensor, pretty sure it shows you enemy and scampuss locations too
I didn't see that one in the Magic Tree but that would be definitely useful. Do you know if it has a time limit on it maybe a minute or so?
@@GamingWithAbyss it has a time limit but it lasts like 5 minutes or so
that's definitely long enough in between the shrines
@@GamingWithAbyss exactly, its quite early in the skill tree too
Thanks for clearing up the equipment weight percentages for me. I played the first Nioh and couldn’t remember what they were.
I didn't double-check the first game but most likely didn't change it
Great stuff, mostly i found out by myself but didnt notice the effect of throwing stone at enemy Ki and dose values in numbers are awesome.
What an useful video, thanks, I'm certain the tips will help me with my nioh 2 playthrough.
thank you I appreciate it
Hyped for this one! 1 quick correction on offering equipment in Nioh (1) gave both Amrita and randomly would gift you expendable items like elixirs. Great guide 👍
yeah I just noticed the experience was not worth it so I stopped doing it right away
Gaming with Abyss its all about quantity and using it to get you to the next level when you are a bit short, plus the extra items/elixirs always come in handy. I could talk this game for hours. Can’t wait to dig into 2
Nice to see a guide done without all the theatrical bs. Good job with this.
This is so informative and useful. Thanks man! 👍
No problem!
Played the hell out of the first Nioh. Just started this one. This was super helpful. Nice job!
Glad it helped!
@@GamingWithAbyss Definitely -- will be checking out more of your videos for sure.
The rock did so much damage to that enemies ki because it broke its horn. You can beak the horns off if every Yokai that has them to do a lot of ki damage. I use the Odachi in high stance and it’s an overhead swing that pretty much always hits the horns. You can probably do it with a lot of other weapons too, even ranged weapons.
yeah I like that weapons High stance movement
Wow I never knew that about the Nurikabe wall. That you can get past it without fighting. I'll like this video just for that tip.
thank you I appreciate it
Haha nice guide, just a heads up tho, the only reason the stones occasionally reduce ki, is because you're breaking the horn on whatever you're hitting. If a demon is giving you trouble, you can often pull out your bow/musket and shoot off the horn prior to even engaging it. This will make is extremely easy to deplete its Ki. Another thing, since I rarely hear people mention it, but if you do a burst counter on a demon and they have ZERO ki left, you can press triangle to grapple them and do your oni grapple without having to use your ult or whatever its called. The grapple damage is mental btw.
yeah I always shoot them from a distance but for some reason it didn't register that what the Rock did too
@@GamingWithAbyss Haha np, we all have those moments. Keep it up
When you get the running water perk, don't let it be the only way you ki pulse as it uses additional ki although it does give some back. Also sometimes you won't be able to get a full ki pulse without taking a ton of damage. I'm learning that now. Basically between ki and health, health is always more important, don't get hit because you are tunnel visioning on your ki pulse timing.
I know this comment is 2 years old but I really needed to read this
Awesome tips for sure. Some I already knew from Nioh 1 but I did learn a thing or two from this video 👍
good to hear and good luck
Maybe been said already but correction on stones. They’re damage to health and Ki are minimal and just distractions, if you hit their weak point with anything then they’ll suffer massive Ki damage. In the Yoki case breaking their horn even with a stone will cut their Ki by 80% of max I believe?
The stone lowered that Yokai's KI because the stone broke his horns. Nothing to do with the stone itself. Also.. They don't fall to the ground helpless in this one like they did in Nioh 1.
yeah they took that one out from the first one
The problem with farming revenants is that there are way too many that are just switch glaive players and hardly anything else, a few odd fists, axe , odachi and even splitstaff. Just rarely Tonfa, kusarigama or any weapon that isn't just switch glaive.
The best Nioh 2 Tips & Tricks Video, í have seen so far! Thanks a lot!👍
Glad it was helpful!
The stone tip is just that your breaking the demons horn which does ki damage. Can do that with a stone or any weapon
Thank you so much for this video. Most games would have this as a tutorial but Nioh likes you to suffer lol. Thanks for the advice, The stone walls and mimic chests were particularly helpful, never knew that.
you're welcome and good luck
You forgot to mention that the heavier you are, swinging your weapons costs more Ki. But also you lose less Ki when you get hit (AKA Ki damage), you can poise tank through most attacks (Toughness stat is poise. The higher, the less chances you have of getting rattled when you get hit) and you spend less ki when defending, meaning that heavier wheight (yellow) is better for blocking and builds that go heavy on the defense with weapons such as Dual Katanas.
Also, if you want sensors, just equip Tengen Kujaku, the first Guardian Spirit you get from Nobunaga. In Nioh 1 you got it by the end of the game but now you get it very early on. It was hands down the best in the first game due to buffing you when you absorb amrita (increase attack on high stance, increase defense on mid stance and increase ki recovery on low stance) and increasing elemental weapon buffs, but also it gave you treasure/amrita/enemy/Kodama sensor, making it the best Guardian Spirit for exploration.
Very important, some NPC bloody graves (Or dev, like you called them) drop unique gear that you can only obtain by fighting them. It's usually unique styled helmets like the Dragon Bridge Helmet or the Elephant Trunk Kabuto.
Mujinas (the mimics) give you 2 emotes. Overjoyed if you imitate their emote and frustration if you do not.
And all yokai enemies have a weak point. It's usually the horns but for example, with the Gakis, it's the belly and with Tessos is the tail (Always look for the yellow glowing part). In Nioh 1 knocking out the horns of a yokai would instantly down them but now it cuts down their ki a lot. And you can cut off their horns with regular attacks as well. Begin in high stance to strike at their heads and you will see it will work.
Enemies that have horns can have them broken, and they take massive ki damage when that happens. Throwing a rock was an easy way to do it in the first game, as well as high stance attacks, but you actually have to hit the horn dead on or it won't work. Yoki, Enki and Yamaba? (the oni lady with the giant knives) are vulnerable to this. Gozuki is as well but I've done that mostly by chance.
yeah they changed it up from the first game and they no longer fall on the ground. But it just never registered that it actually broke their horns. I figured a rock wouldn't do that but I guess in this game it does
Another thing to the KI usage in different weight classes. Not only does it cost more KI to move with more weight, it also slows down recovery.
So use those KI pulses! They were nice in Nioh 1, they're a must in Nioh 2
I thought burst counter is like dodging into the red aura attack of the enemy because sometimes I burst counter on their sides, now I can use it aggressively instead of waiting for them to charge at me..
damn, make short work of those pesky Enki, I died a lot from the first one though..
thanks for the tips I guess I'll start over lol
there's a big window of opportunity to whenever you see that red aura.
@@GamingWithAbyss yes, I usually wait until the red aura is gone before I actually burst counter them which kills me a lot lol, I just got the hang of it on the 2nd boss(fire boss) which is not as stressful as the first boss(horse boss)
you want to bait that boss into knock it down the four pillars. when he crushes a pillar a bucket of water will fall on his head which could help
So pumped for this. On order for day1. Got the plat for number 1 so I'm itching for more nioh 😊
the trophy list is practically the same so the Platinum should be easy
Wonderful video, thank you!
It’s sad that back in the day these kind of basics would be explained in the game manual, which we don’t get anymore.
Simpler times.
yeah I think Dark Souls started that. basically throwing you into the game and telling you good luck
Kinda like games like these those. Feels nice to be thrown out there with no help and discover new things and ways to beat enemies
Man, you just got another new subscriber! Great vid with so many useful info for this game, thanks a lot! Keep it up
thank you I appreciate the support
Kodama, Amrita, Treasure & Enemy sensor can also be found on Soul Cores as well as accessories, you can also roll Enemy Sensor onto helmets in the blacksmith.
yeah I've seen a couple on the Soul course so far
I need to get used to using the burst stuff more. I have the feral on currently and still just messing around in the first level. The amount of times I could have used the burst dash to get out of the way (when out of Ki) I just have zero muscle memory for this built up, and my Dark Souls Muscle memory is very strong, so it's hard to add in extra things. I think people that never played souls might be able to learn Nioh easier.
Going to have to get it down though, as it's a key mechanic.
Playing through the first game again rn in preparation for Nioh 2. I just can’t get enough Nioh!
That's smart it will definitely get you prepared for it
Gaming with Abyss Thanks for the great vid and tips. I can’t wait till Friday!
“And that is not a hat on his head.” 😳😅
Amazing tips, thanks bro😎 🙏
yeah I laughed the first time I saw that creature lol
The choas debuff is pretty unclear. You were talking about two status effects but when that monster had 2 effects the debuff was not applied. only when it got 4 it got Chaos debuff. So is it 4 or is it 2 or does it just take a while?
Great Video with excellent info; I just liked and Subscribed.... Keep it up, I'll definitely look forward to following you especially for Nioh 2!!!!!!!!
Thank you I appreciate the support
So question. What's the silver coin looking thing you see sometimes next to your exp gauge?
next to the amrita? I think it means you have a skill point or like ninja locks or maybe soul cores
Very good video. No annoying music or voice. Great!
I appreciate that!
If I may offer my own number 1 tip.
Play in action mode at 60fps. Screw better graphics. This game demands incredibly quick reflexes and playing at below 60fps leaves you at a disadvantage.
Full disclosure: I have not mastered Nioh 2 yet, but I did plat Nioh 1 in my first playthrough, and Nioh 2 is considerably harder at any fps under 60.
I agree with you 100% And I prefer 60fps. Plus in my opinion nioh one is harder to platinum
It’s only for Brute guardian spirit you burst by hitting before attack is launched. Other types of sprits works differently
the timing is not as big. you have to be on point with the other 2.
Also on equipment weight, blue dodges you much much farther, green a little farther. I believe it also impacts ki recovery speed. I've been staying in blue and if you dodge a lot it's a must.
I would love to be in the blue with my armor but I am somewhat of an aggressive player so I need to be able to take some hits
Yooooo hit up Nioh 2 again when you get the chance. Your vids on it are stellar
Very relevant video with the new ps5 version coming out :) Loved the video, super clear and concise. Also I did ki pulse wrong during my whole first play through /rip
thank you I appreciate it
This video is very helpful. I just started the PC version. Thanks much. :)
Glad it helped!
When throwing a stone, if the lock on "cross hair" is on yokai's head then you can do ki damage. It's not the certain enemy type. It doesn't have to be a stone, weapons in high stand is very likely to achieve that
the stone breaks the horns of the Yokai it's just didn't register in head that's what it did
Thanks for the info. Gonna be my first Nioh experience with N2. Really needed this. ^^
you're welcome and good luck
Thanks for the tips,they were so helpful..
No problem!
This was a great beginners guide. Can't wait tell the 13th
thank you I appreciate it
This is the only useful guide ive seen so far
is it possible to switch between the shortcut sets you assigned for items? ya know when u assign your elixirs etc. to the dpad, there are 2 sets so that technically makes 8, but when I'm playing I can only switch between 4?
Yes there is R1 + left or right dpad
Kodama Sensor can also be on Soul Cores. I have it on a Nure-onna one
yeah I like it when I find them on the Soul cores
there are skills in the samurai skill tree which give you a ki burst for dodging at the right time too, one for each stance
It's called Running Water I talk about it at [11:50]
highly recommended one of the best skills you get to manager Ki
Great video bro! Some questions pls.
Isn't the chaos effect the same effect with confusion in the first game?
Do you check if soul cores do more dmg if you level them up, besides their passive effects boost?
Do you know the difference between brute and phantom s burst counter? I think they are the same. I only used phantom s. Also i didn't understand phantom s Ying Yang ability.
During dark realms, does yokai shift last longer or not, because of yokai form boost?
One last thing i saw from last trial, in order to forge one armor set with set bonuses, i had to disassemble soul cores instead of armor/weapons for unique materials. Great job bro and sorry for my English
it's basically the same thing except now there is a confusion Elemental damage. I haven't tested out that much but I doubt it works the same as chaos. maybe it will stop enemies from doing their special attacks that won't stop them from regenerating their Ki. I've been mainly using the Brute but all the others should work the same.
@@GamingWithAbyss thanks for the response
@@johnposa3807 Brute has the least range and should be used as soon as the windup for an attack starts to bitchslap the enemy out of it(hence why the small range).
Feral is used to dodge towards the enemy the moment before their attack hits you.
Phantom is Feral but without the dash.
@@UmTalDeUmPH thanks man. Now i change to feral and i try to learn the right moment of burst. It seems difficult. Which do you prefer? I think brute seems easier
@@johnposa3807 I use Feral myself. Kicking enemies in the face is just too freaking fun.
Great video, thank you. I did not know about CHAOS. I’ll need to implement that.
Glad it was helpful!
Some great stuff here. The yellow bar for levelling up and the travel amulet especially. I walked into a boss room last night and didn't know how to get back out of it. Can you pause and get to it or will you need them on your quickbar?
The Chaos debuff alone is huge. I really wish the game explained that better, or at all.
this game is unbelievably hard when u first start. you basically have to lose over and over to get better but its worth it.
most games are really hard like this example Dark Souls. Once you start to get the hang of everything and better gear then it starts to become a little bit easier and manageable
I didn't know many of these!
Thanks I subscribed!
thank you I appreciate the support
Another tip would be that you can view the weaknesses of each yokai via the yokai illustrations in the hut.
true that is a very good tip
Gaming with Abyss yup and most yokai are resistant to corruption so players should use purity or other elements instead
Good vid, i hate when i get sacked by those mimics!
yeah they used to annoy the hell out of me in the first game until I figure that out
Great video thank you buddy
If I had known about Nurikabe earlier that would have saved me hours of frustration... I did manage to get a soul core though which is pretty amazing at low level
yeah and if you're collecting all of them you'll need that one
