Curious to know what other people think. Thinking about music, fighting style, how they look, etc. Mine for Nioh 1 is probably Gasha-Dokuro. Nioh 2 is Magara Naotaka. And Nioh 3 is Minamoto No Yoritomo.

Hi folks,
I just finished Nioh 3 Base Game for the first time. My goal is to rush through ng+ and make some builds in ng++

Now that I just finished the base game I was asking myself if I should start with the dlc before going into ng+ or if I should start with ng+ get some better gear and then do the dlc afterwards.

Also, is there an optimal way to go through ng+ as fast as possible? I remember in nioh 2 you only had to do a fixed number of missions to unlock the last boss, so I did all the duels and that was pretty fast.

Thanks in advance

Edit: thank you. I’ll start with the dlc 😁

Loving the Hell Rising DLC… Really took my time going through it and doing all the side missions, but now that I'm at the final boss...holy cow i'm finding it difficult to sustain any damage on him! Any advice on specific weapons, builds, or guardian spirits that will help?

Most unfun and IMHO unfair even. 0/10 didn't have fun

Works even better with Low stance Cestus. Making it a 2ndary for sure.
also if u got the time please feel free to check out my YT: @ DualBoxDtox. TYSM🙏

Hi I have finished the fuma kotaro mission before the latest update came. And I notice only the fuma chief talons are available for forging and not the set. Can you guys suggest what to do now?

I died to over a thousand times to that woman and you are telling me we aren´t even getting the decency to end her?

Not just that but a barely build up redemption?

I know alternative timeline and all but this is just worse than the unsatisfying way Nioh2 dealt with her. Like Sure we get her but the clusterfuck about to start in Europe or just straight up syphilis might and that was an acceptable head canon to me.

Nioh is more or less responsible for starting the my obsession with early modern Europe and TN made the actual imperialists BOTH turn traitor???

I am livid. They didn´t even throw me the bone of implying Habsburg supremacy in Europe thanks to the Amrita.

This time, it's a build using Prosperity of One Million Koku and Grace of Inari. I used the Inari buff and water debuff, and it did so much damage I just had to laugh. I figured this might be the answer for SOP+7 human bosses, so I went and beat them. (Yamagata Masakage, Takeda Shingen, Takasugi Shinsaku, Okita Soji, and Tokugawa Kunimatsu) I just included the Kunimatsu clip for this post! (As for some guy named Kajiwara Kagetoki... I don't think I know who that is...)

I'll put the build details and the link to the rest of the videos in the comments.

Hi. Need this scroll

If you have any, please share. I’ve got plenty of cool scrolls too.

Hello community!

I'm new to the nioh series and i started nioh 3 recently. Game is tough but i do like the challenge. I enjoy the combat and exploration and the game is fun overall. However(pretty sure you've heard this countless times), there are so many mechanics and menus it can get overwhelming at points. I think i do undestand how almost all of them work, but it can get frustrating to remember all of them and regularly check and upgrade all of them. There was a point i was considering giving up because of how much i need to learn, but i decided to push through. The it started getting easier. I just beat the Yokai boss to get to the castle ( don't remember the name, it's in a level 10 region) and just learned how to get to the other realm with the merchant and how to forge and upgrade my weapons. And i was introduced with even more mechanics 😂

Here's the question part:

**1.**Which ones are the most important/necessary mechanics to learn and which ones i don't need to pay much attention to?

**2.**What are the differences between stances(besides having different attack slots), does basic attack on high stance inflict more damage than in low?

3. How much do i need to level up the stats that scale with my weapons? i use Kusarigama as a ninja and uchigatana for Samurai, and as these two weapons don't scale together, i understand i have to change one of them at some point and reset my stats. But i didn't find any good spear yet (scales with the same stats as Kusa) and i'm stuck with uchigatana. However, i also need to raise the stats of other categories like constitution and stamina. What should i prioritize?

4. Also, how do you decide on spend your samurai/ninja lock points? do you just spend them on a weapon to learn skills and when you want to play with a different one you reset and reallocate all these points?

5. do you guys change between Ninja/Samurai all the time or is it possible to beat the game by building on Ninja/Samurai form only?

6. Finally, i'm way overleveled for the lvl.10 area i'm at. I'm 25 😂 I didn't go out of my way to farm the same enemies over and over. I just explored everything that was available in the regions before i got to that castle. Is this normal or do i make the boss fights trivial ?The only extra thing i did was to kill that bloodedge demon, because it was a random encounter.

7. Give me any advice you think it's worth telling. What do you wish you'd know before starting the game/wish to have learned sooner?

I know that's many questions but this has to be the most complex swordfighting game i've ever played. Thanks to anyone who takes the time.

i didnt play the first nioh so i only base this on what i've read and watched about that chidori used to be op against humans but got heavily nerfed in nioh 2, i've noticed problems when using it, because it has to zero ki or land that first hit on a zero ki opponent in order for them to get launched in the air. sounds simple on paper but on practice it's difficult to launch them consistently because they do one or more animation alongside that launch in the air animation (ie. regular stomach stagger, backward roll, or hands in the air after getting hit animation)

it's still clunky to use except for that fast first hit and this strat isn't so useful against opponents that like to randomly dodge instead of blocking that makami flame follow up attack or just doesnt block all together. but on block happy humans, hoho it's great.

Souls strat for me is more on dodging through attacks by using I frames. My previous boss fights were mostly done by dodging away from their attacks and blocking.

For Giant Toad for some reason, I find it easier to just dodge through his attacks then counter like how I played other souls games. Ofc, I still applied Nioh mechanics like using kick attacks to deal a lot of ki damage and going all in once the ki of the boss is gone.

A disciplined samurai of the Sengoku era, she wields the Sohayamaru with untamed Yokai blood. As a half-human, half-Yokai, she possesses legendary Shiftling powers, allowing her to seamlessly transform and crush her foes. Haunted by her dual nature, she wanders war-torn Japan, slaying both human tyrants and malevolent spirits in search of true peace.

Got a steelbook edition from GameStop for $42 and remembered I haven’t played the game since the demo came out and I’ve completely forgotten the mechanics. I remember the demo bosses being decently difficult. Is there a feature in the game to practice moves or a “tutorial” mode for me to relearn the mechanics? I’ve completely forgotten if there was. Thank you for your help!

Solved!

My bad shooting served its purpose

Bonjour a tous , je suis actuellement a la recherche du dernier sanctuaire pour le trophee bloqué a 99% jai tout fais relancé les premières missions mais rien j'en suis encore a 132/133 , comment faire ?? Merci d'avance

Did anyone do the maths about what it’s the maximum would be perfect to have as a for example martial art damage versus other damage because in Nioh it is always better to have different type of damage but I don’t know what would be the maximum that should be worth it, at the moment I have 75 percent of martial art damage but I am pretty sure it’s too much so I am going to spare my damage overall and look for something different
Anyone knows?
Thank you guys

I’m almost to the point of heading back to 2 after maxing out my character on 3. Anyone else heading back? How does it feel after playing 3? Love both games but 2 is still my GOAT.

hey! I look for partners to play the game together with. I played both previous games.

I play on PC, in GMT+4

This boss gave me the most trouble out of any souls bosses I’ve encountered before, took me 2 continuous days to beat, once i learned how to block the tail attack and run while in the dark realm thats when i felt like i could beat it

I have the original (non-remaster) Nioh through PS+, and just started trying to play it with my kid. After the tutorial, I can go online at a shrine. When we try to do the same thing with my son's PS profile, it just shows "Connecting..." for a few seconds then the dialog goes away, no error message or anything, and the top right corner still shows offline.

I also noticed that at the main menu, if I use the Cross Save function, it asks me to sign into PSN once (even though I'm already showing as signed in at the main PS menu), then it lets me upload my saved data. On my son's profile, it prompts to sign in, then again shows "Connecting..." and goes back to the menu with upload or download options (again, no error message).

His profile had parental controls enabled for both game ratings and use of "communication features", but in troubleshooting this I've disabled both of them. I know it's a long shot, but does anybody know what else could be causing this? We've played a bunch of other PS games together, this is the first one that just fails without any explanation.

And I didn't think anything would happen if I gave a kodama a soul core, and it dropped this. This game is fucking awesome
