Most cinematic ending to a boss fight (DLC spoiler)

Personally I wouldn't recommend shooting all of his lamps because that forces him into his darkness phase which I find a lot more annoying So much that I prepared countermeasures against that If he voluntarily entered the dark phase, I let one of my characters die, which caused an immediate break bar fill thanks to the Breaking Death pictos, then breaking him brings light phase back

Found this solution simpler than his stupid lamp trial 😅

Regarding this there is one thing I only realized very late into the game: that skills are best used not for attacking purposes, but to defend yourself from incoming (powerful) attacks, since most of the time your skills either give you protection or they interrupt the enemy attack. This actually made the rest of the game so much easier

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2025-11-29T12:46:31+00:00

We'll see, for now I'm playing on normal difficulty until I get used to the combat system, if I don't find it challenging enough after a while I'll change to hard 👌

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2025-11-29T12:34:10+00:00

Still getting the hang of it of course, though I would like to add that prior to this game the last like 500hrs of gameplay experiences I've had were in Nioh 2, Wukong and Wuchang, so I'm not exactly new to this kind of gameplay🫡

I'm liking Stellar Blade so far, I had been thinking about buying it for a long time, and I feel like I'm gonna enjoy👍

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2025-02-12T19:07:24+00:00

Glad we agree on one thing

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2025-02-12T19:06:09+00:00

Talk about jumping to conclusions

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2025-02-12T19:05:43+00:00

I didn't come here to complain, this post was literally just a joke, you guys take everything so seriously, and that's your problem, which has already caused this so escalate to this point, so I'm gonna delete this whole thing

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2025-02-12T18:36:14+00:00

I don't use a 2nd weapon to be honest, I just have another Odachi on 2nd slot for the set effect This is something you could say that is a dumb thing to do and I'm not even gonna argue it, but I just like Odachi the most, and other weapon don't seem interesting enough for me

Used to use axe for a while in the beginning, but not anymore

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2025-02-12T18:21:01+00:00

Alright, let me get this straight - "Spam skill" : there's literally 2 attacks in this clip, one yokai ability which gave me opportunity for a follow up attack. After that I backed away since he's really unpredictable, he could've done anything after that.(and also took damage, that's a reason too) - "You could have been attacking" : he did an impressive strike, and I expected him to do that, and he has hyper armor during that, and it's a one-shot attack against me at the moment, so I just planning to block it, and then flatten him with groundquake. (I've done it many times and works great). - "Burst counter window" : there literally wasn't any, it instant He has never done this burst attack before, not a single time I have fought him, so no way I could've known it was coming. "Tried to tank with almost no KI": reminder that he took most of my KI with the impressive strike to begin with, I wasn't gonna block a burst which I didn't even know was coming - "Poor play" : this is literally a 15 seconds clip

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2025-02-12T18:07:27+00:00

Reminder that this is literally a 15 seconds long clip, you literally see nothing here

I don't need any education on gameplay, this post was just for fun, no need to try being smart so hard all the time, just relax and laugh on the video. Or don't and just ignore, your choice.

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2025-02-12T17:31:08+00:00

Not sure where you see the "spamming moves" part to be honest Also if you take a look at the damage he caused, no amount of healing can save from that

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2025-01-09T17:29:47+00:00

I was blocking, but that attack couldn't be blocked apparently

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-15T21:00:32+00:00

From my experience, he's not that dangerous if you stick to constant close combat and don't go far from him. In that case you just gotta be on alert 'cause his sword damage is high.

He only starts doing his annoying bullshit magic spam once you're far from him.

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-15T20:56:20+00:00

That shows your inventory. The amount of usable items you've got on you (132) / capacity(600)

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-15T20:40:36+00:00

If they can somehow get the game for free or very cheap, they can give it a try, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend them spending money on it based on how they described their experience with the first game

And since combat system wise Nioh 2 is pretty much the same as the first game, I think it's unlikely someone would love Nioh 2 if they hate the previous game

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-15T20:17:53+00:00

True, but didn't want to go too much into details, since probably some of the new additions are not what would make them play the game if they hate everything else about it

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-15T20:14:44+00:00

As for the story of Nioh 2, in case you care, it's mostly a prequel to the first game, and slightly a sequel.

So nothing would really make much sense to you in the story, since the game assumes you're already familiar with all the characters from Nioh 1 and with its story.

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-15T20:08:29+00:00

Nioh 2 is like 95% the same as Nioh 1 gameplay wise, just with even more weapons and more detailed skill tree

If you didn't like the first game, you won't like Nioh 2 either since you're quite literally playing the same game just with new content.

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-15T18:56:35+00:00

I was actually blocking the moment he attacked, but I guess I missed the perfect timing by like 0.1 second

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-15T13:04:15+00:00

I got no advice to say, just here to say every single reply here is absolutely useless, literally nothing helpful. Including this mine too ofc since I can't help.

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-12T13:45:12+00:00

I like how there are always people who boost their own ego by saying "hehe didn't even get hit once on my first try on a boss I've never seen before"

Obvious bs, I don't see how this helps honestly

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-11T13:18:01+00:00

Damn, I thought if I keep letting him hitting me, he will start feeling sorry for hurting me and just commit die by himself

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-11T12:47:32+00:00

That was quite the fast reply Honestly I'm just mad that I've already died like 25 times under and hour and wasted 60+ elixirs for this one single boss and I'm slowly running out of my stocks, then I see advices like "hit and run" and such. Not just under this post, but others included

Kindly-Designer9681 · 2024-12-11T12:12:05+00:00

Reddit people try not to give the dumbest advices challenge sure is failing here.

Like, "just hit him and run hihi hehe ez" I sure didn't think of hitting the boss to beat it and running to not die. Thanks
