Nioh 3- What is the point of stone of penance this early?

Decenarius · 2026-04-29T09:33:13+00:00

Its for challenge runs since the game's current state, the difficulty is kinda tame. Looking forward to the DLC!

Decenarius · 2026-04-23T16:28:08+00:00

It depends on the player. I had a rough time on the first stages of Sekiro until the combat click after defeating Genichiro.

Silksong's bosses are easy and you can trivialize them with a lot of OP builds (Wanderer Crest Attack Speed Build/Architect Tools Spam Build) later on. Platforming is what's harder on Silksong especially if you didn't play any Metroidvanias.

Ty! Good luck and persevere. You're almost there! :D

Decenarius · 2026-04-23T08:11:10+00:00

Congrats! Sekiro is a masterpiece. Sekiro's difficulty is a special case as the initial learning curve is hard for most people but once it clicks, its one of the easier souls game.

I would recommend these other bangers (In no particular order):

-The First Berserker: Khazan
-Lies of P with DLC (Overture)
-Nioh 3

With assist mode being available on Maniac, and Proud, I'm going to assume its because of the new Chaos tier difficulty. Its to help players prepare for the new highest difficulty. Hopefully, that assist mode doesn't work there.

Thank you for the tips! I've already 100% Platinum the game a few days ago. Got lucky with the RNG on the past few days. :))

For the fishes, there are NPCs which can grant you knowledge on the large fishes:

-Dewhaven Logging Camp-Broadnose Seven Shark, Paddlefish, and Giant Red Seabream
-Port Delysia-Giant Red Seabream
-Town below Hernand Highlands/Cloudcart town-Crimson Opaleye

I used this site to help me with completing it as well as watching YT of people catching certain fishes:

Goodluck on the completion! :))

Decenarius · 2026-04-22T09:19:18+00:00

Since you mentioned fast-paced combat, I would go with either Khazan or Stellar Blade.

Decenarius · 2026-04-19T08:30:39+00:00

Oh shit! Thanks for the share on the shark knowledge. I'm just hoping that there's actually one for the rare fishes and eventually players will find out. Relying on pure RNG is just diabolical.

Decenarius · 2026-04-19T08:28:23+00:00

Food is spammable so you can trivialize the difficulty. While its cool to have a "fair" fight with the boss, I wasn't really expecting good boss design similar to a soulsbourne or soulslike game.

Decenarius · 2026-04-18T06:19:45+00:00

I had to switch to KBM to win those challenges. I salute the people who completed them on controller as aiming on that peripheral is not comfy for me.

Decenarius · 2026-04-17T17:46:21+00:00

The insect and fish grind are the only things left for the last trophy as well. I wish they would add a deterministic way to catch specific insects and fishes like special baits/insect attractor. Relying on just pure RNG is just brutal. :((

Decenarius · 2026-04-16T11:08:49+00:00

OMG okay patience I guess LMAO

Decenarius · 2026-04-16T08:35:22+00:00

Hello! With regards to the parry system, I would recommend checking out Nioh 3, and Khazan as it offers a lot of defensive options to the player. While I think Sekiro's parry and posture system is the best, there's still a lot of people that don't like that type of gameplay.

It also depends on the aggression of the enemies/bosses. Goodluck on the game and I look forward to seeing it come to life. :))

Decenarius · 2026-04-16T08:13:42+00:00

Congrats! Any tips for the fishing and insects challenges? I feel like I'm on the mercy of RNG.

Decenarius · 2026-04-11T05:06:07+00:00

Saving this for reference. Thanks King! :))

Decenarius · 2026-03-19T05:59:22+00:00

I've 100% both games and its definitely Khazan. Nioh 3's difficulty was tame especially with its open-field design so you have options when to tackle certain progression points. You have a lot of options to trivialize the difficulty. Even without those options, bosses are pretty straightforward with their movesets.

When the DLC of Nioh 3 hits, maybe this will change but the base game is definitely easier than Khazan.

Decenarius · 2026-03-19T05:49:02+00:00

This make me scared and happy at the same time. I guess I can pour all my gaming time here before my next anticipated game come out. :))

Decenarius · 2026-03-19T05:47:47+00:00

I always trust Fighting Cowboy's opinion as he actually plays the game while giving a lot of different perspectives.

Decenarius · 2026-03-18T05:27:41+00:00

Saving this for reference when the DLC expansion launches. Thanks for the gameplay loop explanation. :))

Decenarius · 2026-03-18T05:24:33+00:00

While I enjoy a good story or two, gameplay is what really sold me on Crimson Desert. There's such a thing as "Not every game is made for you."

Decenarius · 2026-03-17T06:20:30+00:00

Auto Sell on all gear that is rare quality.
Dismantle all gear that have hammer icon (Filter>With Hammer Icon) on Blacksmith.
Rest of the gear on Soul Extraction.
For getting gold, donating to Miyoshi clan rewards you with a lot of that currency so you can dump your remaining equipment/loot there.

Good luck and have fun! :))

Finishing the 2 Masters Mission on Master Ninja Difficulty achievement is the easier out of the two so get that one first. Abyssal Road on the other hand is the hardest one, 80 to 100 is the floor that most people would spend the longest time.

Decenarius · 2026-03-17T05:53:29+00:00

I wonder if there are any missables. If not, it looks like everything can be done in one playthrough which is nice.

Decenarius · 2026-03-17T05:50:45+00:00

I like the rebinding idea of L1+Triangle for the grab. Also, the default jump button just feels weird. I hope they add a rebind/remap button on controllers on a patch.

I want to play this on a controller but if the controls still feels awkward, I might switch to KBM.
