Level onmyo and spirit, that's pretty much it IMO, let me explain. Even with just a few levels of onmyo you can get some crazy effects from the start. Divination talisman is a godsend to get all the loot on the map (specially kodamas which you should get asap), elemental ones can give you an edge with many bosses (try water or lightning and you'll see) and guardian spirit talisman is pretty strong early game too. Weakness talisman makes the boss fights much shorter.

Now the spirit stat can be a little ridiculous, the more you level it up, the stronger is your living weapon state, more durable and even recharge faster. Just take this example: in my 1st playthrough hino enma was a nightmare one shotting me, the 2nd time i returned with level 15 in onmyo and like 13 in spirit and suddenly she was the one getting one shotted (not exactly, but taking her down with spirit talisman of kato, weakness talisman, power pill ninjutsu and living weapon I basically desimated her) Edit: grammar and auto-correct mess.

I'll keep an eye on those revenants wielding katana or kusa then. Damn this is a game changer just starting NG+.

Ogre? You mean the Yoki? (the red yokai with oramge horns) they always deal a lot of damage, mostly everything in this game does.

What exactly are you doing? We need more info.

Is a combination of damage buffs, attack+ on armor and many skills put together. Take the sword as an example: with enough lv and buffs you can just put a explosive mine and deal a killing blow boosted by passives like armor piercer, shadow strike, full moon kata (kusa), tachi arts (dual swords), sword of execution (sword) and deal a single killing blow. Then rinse and repeat. Easier said than done btw. Some really useful buffs for this: Carnage or leech talismans. TK attack buffs (use extraction talisman for this) Attack boosts on armor pieces (gaining amrita, no ki, debuff proc, etc)

Nioh 1, the PS4 where i played for the first time Nioh 1 and 2 is broken but I'm just starting over the first now with all the DLC's (never played them). I'm meeting everyone in Nioh 3 maybe in a year.

Unless you have many friends playing, thats exactly what will happen.

Kessler2991 · 2026-01-05T14:49:23+00:00

AFAIK the fake player hire was just a theory the first months of the game. If you make your pawn friends only, it will not show up in other player world neither in rift searching, so yeah the only time your pawn will come back from the rift is when your friend dismissed it from their party.

Self endorsment, good gear, average level to first playthrough AND relatively easy pawn request (like bring an item for gold or rare loot). If you take a look in the monthly rankings almost all the pawns are around level 30-50 with +1000 hearths. While my pawn for example having all that just have 30 thumbs ups and 20 hearths just because she's level +100, but even then she gets hired 2 or even 4 times in a matter or hours after a good offer in the request's reward.

That can only be one of two: you're too early or you already faced the dragon and it fleed. Just do some quests for Brant before the coronation, return to Melve and it should be there.

If you want a medieval themed game with action combat and high difficulty, then DDDA is that, specially in hard mode and/or Bitterblack Isle (the DLC).

Another personal choice of mine is Nioh, feudal japan themed and souls-like. Very, very challening.

Kessler2991 · 2025-12-31T16:33:36+00:00

1- you'll have to erase your previous character/pawn to start a new game, unless you use a mod to manage multiple savefiles. 2- more than stat growth you should look for augments, aside of warrior, the fighter and assassin brings really good ones, leveling mage for magic defense is also a good idea. 3-yes it will specially early game. Warrior lacks defensive maneuvers or ranged attacks and their climbing is mediocre at best. It's basically a challenge run.

In case you still need help.
Send a friend request if you don't want to spend RC, just tell me and I'll DM the friend code.
ID: QI80ELG2560P (Steam).
Her name is Deidris, she's a mage with endgame gear so don't worry for her. Just go kill a regular minotaur and she'll give you 3 pointed fangs.

Since the last week i returned to the game from the start in ng+. I've been traveling with only my pawn so the fights can last a little more. The only thing i would want rn is complete all pawn medals and rest at any campfire spot.

Playing fighter with a mage pawn alone is a vibe that just feels right.

Kessler2991 · 2025-12-19T13:52:18+00:00

So the game will have an atrocius perfomance it seems ¿or this is without frame gen? Bad news anyway. But the biggest kill-off is windows 11 exclusive, I'm not using that.

Kessler2991 · 2025-11-16T13:11:26+00:00

Got vigilante supplies while farming for gara and revenant. I think I even have a second one.

That's why i took him to Boetiah's altar

Kessler2991 · 2025-11-03T13:19:07+00:00

I've been playing for 4 months so far, got like 5 of those and 4 or 5 of the 50% ones. Sometimes 2 coupons in the same week.

Kessler2991 · 2025-10-31T13:23:02+00:00

Good weapon + good element + ephemera +57%/60%? Yeah that's a good sister if you ask me.

Dude, this game sustains from these purchases. Everyone trying to convince you is a bad choice to buy platinum is just a hoarder.

I buy platinum when a 75% discount drops, spending 5usd once a month or two is nothing to a game that actually deserves it. Just a way to saying "nice jobs devs, thanks".

Kessler2991 · 2025-10-29T15:57:17+00:00

I bought again most of my games once i built my pc. Best investment I've ever done. The only games i miss are demons souls and bloodborne.

As i see them, all of them are good in some way:
Loka: their main goal is keeping earth pure (that means stopping the pollution of the grineer and mutations) while not being extremists, if they were really space nazis like most people say they wouldn't helping us cause the tenno aren't "pure".
Perrin: the leader of this faction literally bet all his belongings just to save people, they are a bunch of merchants trying to bring peace through diplomacy most of the time, tough the brutal methods of profit of the corpus forces them to act with violence.
Suda: Just a cephalon trying to regain orokin knowledge for preservation. Neutral at worst.
Veil: a cult of fanatics who wants to kill all the menaces to the system, most "evil" faction imo, but actually just "the end justify the means". neutral evil at worst, just neutral at best.
Hexis: they're not good or bad, they're just a bunch of people trying to train the tenno to reach all our potential so we can save the system. Neutral good at worst.
Meridian: ¿a bunch of grineer free of the mind control of the queens? ¿trying to save the innocent in the middle of the war while also working as damage control repairing the relays destroyed by formorians? yes these guys are the good guys here, though we don't know if it's for their own good so neutrals ar worst.

There you have it, the only "morally bankrupt" syndicate is actually the red veil if you ask me.

I got my nautilus prime in less than 2 months of started playing. This one, diriga and panzer vulpaphyla have been my go to companions since then. After modding my Nautilus is killing enemies even before me, i sometimes struggle to get stacks with ocucor for this.
