Nioh Review Thread

Are there any good movies that are similar in feel to Nioh? This wait is killing me so I thought I'd pass the time by watching some older Japanese horror/samurai films if there are any
 
The guardian spirits are all build specific, really. Use the one that benefits your play style the most.

Personally, I recommend that everyone take a look through the ninjutsu and onmyo skill trees to add a few supplemental spells to their arsenal. It will make things significantly less difficult for you. Spirit, dexterity, and magic are all good stats to increase.
Oh boy :D

Yeah the video is very good.



There are spells??

You really, really need to check out the ability trees.

I would suggest reading Usagi Yojimbo. 10.1/10 comic book with lots of sword fighting and yokai. There is even a special book dedicated exclusively to yokai.

Ah now I know what you mean. I totally forgot about the spells.

Please not this! It's so lame.

"Stamina is Ki!" is the winner.

Please don't reference the fucking site people, come on

this so much

NiohGAF is so bad

Good Lord, that is what vast majority of people wanted in the Alpha/Beta threads though. Guess I'll have to come up with something new

How do I deal with the (4th mission)
Giant Centipede and the fact I'm always poisoned? I can't seem to find the sprout that emits the poison which makes this fight basically a timed one. :( I can't kill it before I die to poison.

edit: Nevermind, GOT HIM

Stamina is Ki? What does it even mean?

Stamina in Nioh is called Ki
Stamina management is key
-> Stamina is Ki

Use your brain.
Yo no reason to be this rude you know not everyone on this board has English as their mother tongue or has years of experience with it as a second language.
Simple wordplays are not always the easiest to understand for people like that.

You use your stamina to kill enemies, boosting your KI-score (shorthand for Killing Index). This can be used to buy extra lives in the in game store, as opposed to waiting 20 or so min to respawn.
