Did you get the free ps plus Nioh?

@@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

@@visualkarmax8269 thanks :) I ended up beating her on my 14th try.

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

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.

I just started yesterday and beat 3 bosses already

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?

@@mitkel5426 no need to be a bitch but ok

Game is free buddy, match make as you please :D

@@Wopder13 dude right? Just about started yesterday too

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.

Yeah that's right, Low Stance for dual is the best one in most scenario

@@Mens_Rea dual katana is awesome. Helped me cheese everything up until I figured out the mechanics then switched it up. Still use them though

j w they get sent there anyway

Matt M no they don't, it says you can't carry anymore with certain items

@@richardfisher8460 don't mind me, just keeping the one year late reply cycle goin.

@@imhulki463 i love comment section

@@imhulki463 don't mind me, just following your footsteps

Kameh88, unless you play claw ;)

Kameh88 holy shit THANK YOU

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

@@richardfisher8460 you've never blocked?

@@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

DealerOfDoom I love you too

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

God you need to be outcast for that terrible joke.

😂

Mateo Navarrette have you beaten this game yet?

Casper the not so friendly ghost I just started

I'm playing it now, and this definitely helped.

@@ArcherMVMaster Same.

birdsoup777 add me! Soulo3i

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

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!

Really? How did you learned it?

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

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!

nah he just probably took a break cause Nioh is fairly new so some youtubers would be all over it including hollow.

Also, if an enemy hits you next to a cliff and you start stumbling over the edge, you can roll/evade back onto land before actually falling

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

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.

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.

IRL stuff, needed a break. It happens!

Ds too slow I love nioh but ds mediocre to me

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.
