When my friend and I were farming glory, it varied a lot despite similar runs. We were averaging 2.2K to 2.8K and I'm wondering if other factors are calculated despite what it shows there like damage taken, clear time, no shrines, etc.Glory gained from assisting in Twilight Missions is [customspoiler='pretty high.']

Power pills and Sloth are what I use mainly to supplement Discord. I'm surprised Sloth Talisman was buffed after the Betas since it was balanced by the short duration. Anyway, it helped me to quickly beat the hardest duo bosses in the game at level 110 with just a Katana, one Sacred Brush use, and four Elixirs. I hope there is a twilight version of this fight.And yes, Sloth Talisman is pretty overpowered. As is an Extraction Talisman if paired with the correct Guardian. Plus you can add in a Carnage Talisman to increase your damage during it as well. There are other pretty overpowered things as well, but most of them are more specific to an enemy or type of enemy.
It's a lot of practice to maintain it, but there are a couple of ways of helping out. The first and hardest is always dodge ki-pulsing to maintain stamina. Also, some weapon types are better suited for it such as the Katana (Low/Medium Stance), Dual Katana (Low/Medium Stance), Spear (Low Stance), and Kusarigama (Low Stance). Lastly, there are armor or weapon characteristics that have "increased element duration" which would help with that.I'm doing an Onmyo swords battlemage build and loving it so far. Just unlocked the Sloth talisman. I prefer the lightning and water debuffs for the most part. The one thing I'm struggling with though is getting Discord up and maintaining it. It's a lot of work to get two debuffs up on a boss especially since basically nothing lets you cast multiple 2-3 second animation lockouts. You die in the process. When I do occasionally get Discord up I haven't been able to just stunlock a boss at zero Ki. I'm having some trouble getting the kinks worked out.
I tried helping some people yesterday and it just reminded me of Souls Co-Op. The host either dies within the first minute, is afk, or expects you to solo the entire stage for them by never attacking.Decided to help some random people through the second Twilight mission and it made for some interesting experiences. First one the guy skipped a bunch of stuff as I was summoned mid-way and I was greeted by like 6 guys, one of which was a revenant as well as a Tengu. Nearly died on that one and I turned the corner and ran into it thinking it had been cleared. Next guy I ended up playing with was super laggy. Enemies would teleport around and I'd have no idea if I'm doing damage to them or if I'm somehow dying. All the others were smooth, but those two... my god.
I haven't had that yet, thankfully.I tried helping some people yesterday and it just reminded me of Souls Co-Op. The host either dies within the first minute, is afk, or expects you to solo the entire stage for them by never attacking.
Dang! Congrats! You always Platinum these games so fast!! I am still making my way through my first runthrough!I finished the last twilight mission I needed as soon as it came up and ran through the level in a minute. Anyway, I cropped out the image due to spoilers and this boss is end-game territory. Nioh is really something else with the combat being so satisfying. I loved my "Discord" build through all of it since the Alpha. Lastly, it was odd seeing most of the characters looking "normal" since I'm a fan of the 'Samurai Warriors' series. o
Thank you!Dang! Congrats! You always Platinum these games so fast!! I am still making my way through my first runthrough!
Since you guys all have beaten the game or at least plowed through most what basic enemy (without being spoilery if there are later ones I don't know) is the one that has given you most grief? So not a boss/sub-boss/unique enemy. I at first thought it would be the Raven for me but whenever I have fought one I have been fine
that stage was my most hated boss battle. not because of the actual boss battle (although his insta kill attacks) its because you can either fall off the edge and die in the water while attacking him or fall into the wall team ninja randomly placed in the platform while dodging his attacks.I agree, Tengu are the most annoying enemy.
Boss I had the most trouble with though? Technically the I had the most trouble with the boss from The Ocean Roars Again. I was completely off my game and everything I did on him was dumb. I was even doing stupid things leading up to the boss door like running off the side of the map. I didn't really have too much trouble with bosses. If I died more than once, I usually took a second look to see how I could do things differently.
A complete no damage run does give a bonus. I still have to test 'no shrine,' 'all shrine,' and 'speed' runs.Yokai Realm. I'll do test runs sometime soon to narrow it down.
I used my Raikiri that fight. You can just hotkey some of the fire amulets to buff it with fire if you want. Plus if you light the fires, but don't use them to buff your weapon, they will kill any adds that come.Haven't had much time to play and I'm finally down with the controller. On Umi-Bozu..... that monster. Guess I need to arm myself with different weapons other than my Raikiri. Only died once but was not prepped properly for that.
Great Centipede was the easiest thus far.
Judging from what Team Ninja has done in the past, since a lot of the move-sets from Nioh are sort of borrowed from the modern Ninja Gaiden series, I would say Talons, Nunchaku, or the Scythe.Speculation on the weapons?? Nunchaku, Kama, Kanabo, Sai? I am trying to just think of feudal era weapons in general and most would just feel like variants on what we already have with the spears or katana. Maybe just a Great Katana/ Odachi so it could be a a hybrid moveset somewhat between the Axe and Katana?
This gives the general idea of it, but the person doesn't have the stats yet to pull off the one-shot version. Still, pretty impressive with two on NG+.I would love to see a video of that in action!!
Congrats on beating the game! As for the trophies, do you mean hidden ones? If so, you can see what the requirements for the hidden ones are by clicking on them and pressing square. It will show up on the details.I'm still 7 trophies away from platinum with four blanked out so that is disheartening. Somehow I missed a hotspring somewhere too.
You can soul forge two pieces of equipment together to increase it's +level. Two +1's make a +2 and so on, all the way up to +10. Soul forging cost is dependent on the level discrepancy between the two items soul forged together. When they're the same level, the cost is pretty negligible. Oh and higher +Equip drop at later levels. I think they limited it to try and raise the difficulty of Way of the Strong.not sure why they basically maxed most armor/weapons at 150 or like 150(+2). why not just keep it leveling. im 170 currently and id be nice to have a level 170 weapon.
fought a revenant today that was level 358. im gonna assume he exploited the infinite amirta glitch or else that dude has been playing non stop since release.
Yeah that's the most important skill in the game! You want to get Living Water: Heaven, Living Water: Man, and Living Water: Earth. There is one for each stance low med high and the skill is found in each one of the weapon skill trees. You only have to buy each one once and then they work for all of your main weapons. Get these skills with your first Samurai skill points.What skill is it that you can learn where you dodge and recover ki? I'm pretty sure I read that tip from here but I can't seem to find who posted that comment. I'm finally got the chance to play it this weekend and the beginning felt so easy compare to the demo.
I believe the skills are called, "Living Water" and there is one for each stance. The description in the game is poorly translated, but it will say something along the lines of, "allows for Ki Pulse even while dodging."What skill is it that you can learn where you dodge and recover ki? I'm pretty sure I read that tip from here but I can't seem to find who posted that comment. I'm finally got the chance to play it this weekend and the beginning felt so easy compare to the demo.
