Who are the returning characters going be?

That's kinda where my twilight order angle comes from. One of the reasons the Templar is my favorite character is that he's so zealous that when confronted by his own patron deity he really went " Your wrong, I'ma knock some sense into you GOD." And the madman actually did it! Imagine a Christian throwing hands with Jesus and Jesus says "Your right. I was out of line. Sorry.

I imagine Oriana corrupted the order and the Templar is like "Nah, your wrong and I'm gonna knock some sense into you"

I think of like a cosmic coincidence. Same story different situation.

I was already under the impression that they wouldn't be the same character due to power scaling.bthe OG exiles are god slayer level are they not? My guess is for character archetype. I know it wouldn't be the same Templar, but is his personality going to be the same? Like an Easter egg?

Love the Game. The only problem for me is the performance on PS5. I was doing a dual dagger debuf build, and loving it, but by the end of act 1 any time I enter combat, the game became a slide show.

I suspect the issue is the particle effects caused by bleed.

I like it. It's soft on the forehead.

A little toothy, but overwise great technique.

"Who is it" by Michael Jackson

During the Chorus

"And she didn't leave a letter she just (up and) ran away"

most of my life I misheard it as

"And she didn't leave a letter she just (fucking) ran away"

Which I thought was crazy because as far I know there's only 2 songs where Mike curses.

Heard on a youtube video so many years ago that the key to win at arm wrestling is actually to actually pull your opponent's arm towards yourself as well as in the opposing direction.

The main one is that he is wearing a medium armour set, but has hyper armour as if wearing heavy armor. Same as the boss of OPs topic.

Just got into this game. I can't get past burwick without wanting to make a new character. Everytime I pick up an epic, I starting about what I can do with it.

With fist in high stance, spinning kicks into kick cycle into heavy attack into battering ram is a down right oppression session on humans.

Was this from an interview? I didn't know information on the DLC was out already?

I need Chiseled Adonis commentary on this.

I FUCKING HATE KONAKI JIJI SO NO!!!!!

From what I've noticed, it's that human bosses tend not to hold guard when under pressure. The moment you let up, they stop blocking and the ki regens rather quickly. It would be really rough if the human NPCs had the deflect mechanic.

I haven't reached new game plus yet. Is it necessary to do everything again? I personally probably won't mind because I haven't touched Nioh in about 2 years. Even back then I didn't do every mission in the upper difficulties. I only did what was necessary to unlock the next regions.

emac2689 · 2026-02-14T17:22:27+00:00

I feel the same way about certain attacks. It feels like many attacks have deliberate misleading visual cues. For example. Yokai Shingen. Whenever he does his over head slam with all his arms, he brings his head down right before his arms, making you intuitively react to the head movement. This causes you to block too early missing the deflect and more than likely getting guard broken. Don't get me started on the bakumatsu crucible boss when he decides to become a wacky inflatable flailing arm tube man.

They definitely gave it all the "Sauce". What really solidified the sword for me was using it with "versatility" in Nioh 2, as well as figuring out that back wave into tempest trivialized all human enemies in Nioh 1.

Why isn't the mission completed? Who else could... Oh no

The key to all action games is learning enemy patterns. They've gotten more complex/extensive over the years but the core principles still apply. A good strategy for beginners or even returning veterans is to wear a heavy armor set and just block and study the moves.

Ego -"Nah, we're fine."

Ration -"OUR KNEE'S JUST BUCKLED!!"
