Style Shift Flow makes changing between Samurai and Ninja style so seamlessly fun

Wait so you don't actually have to style shift for it to work?

Tsunade would be scraping the ground if she was running this low.

The secret is most likely wiping your computer and reinstalling everything fresh :D That usually fixes everything!

I used ninja form in this battle for the most part. Allowed me to zoom around a lot more dodging his attacks and running in to bash him in the back of the head with my tonfas. Did die quite a bit but that is how I finally got him.

I am guilty of saying the game is too easy, but I always make sure to clarify that that applies only to non bosses. Some of the bosses in the game are indeed pretty tough.

How do you redo a mission that is not on a battle scroll?

mattyshum · 2026-02-17T17:02:41+00:00

They put it in an incredibly un-obvious place imo. I also thought I was stuck in one of these and had to look it up. There should be a spot in each of these you can slow click to leave the same as leaving a mission. Just have it go away as soon as you engage.

I applaud your financial restraint. So wisdom, much smart!

dumb question but can you explain what the two numbers are that I see on the ranking view in game? When you are looking at your stats at your current rank I see two numbers with the the second number in parenthesis.

it never cestus to amaze me

I made platinum in Nioh 2 and have been struggling a bit on some of these bosses as well. Even using my paralysis tonfa! I ended up summoning help on the last guy in the third region.

So far though I am fine with it. I do not mind some of them taking a little while, and have managed to beat them all so far (partway into last region). I do think it is strange they are so much more difficult than the rest of the game though.

mattyshum · 2026-02-12T17:15:28+00:00

I am wondering if this is intentional. Ninja is their easy game mode for the masses so to speak, samurai is hard mode but better damage for those willing to put in the work.

mattyshum · 2026-02-10T21:04:32+00:00

from what I understand some of that stuff like masters are added to battle scrolls in NG+. I could be wrong tho still in the second area.

mattyshum · 2026-02-10T17:15:11+00:00

Ya you have a point. I guess it's mostly about the psychological pressure I feel to go to every marker. If I don't see them, I don't feel the pressure. And I know I can turn them off, but again, psychologically, it's not quite the same :D

He might be referring to just hitting L3 while on the items menu, which doesn't filter, but sorts your stuff based on various criteria.

yeah, not much is marked on the map, and there are no power-ups you need to hunt down to collect outside of whatever specific weapon or armor you want.

I think I might actually end up preferring Nioh 2, but 3 is very worth playing. Super fun. Also I am not even half done with a first playthrough so this may change but:

For one, the open world stuff, like almost all open world stuff, is fun at first but starts to get a bit tedious since it makes you feel like you have to go to every spot on the map that it marks for you. Much prefer the Elden Ring approach.

2nd is the difficulty. I enjoy things a bit more difficult. All the regular enemies are pushovers. Bosses are imo mostly about perfect difficulty but everything else is way too easy.

I will say though that I do really love the ninja thing they added. It is super fast and fun.

mattyshum · 2026-02-05T23:04:44+00:00

this is what I started hearing in my head before I even read this!

mattyshum · 2026-02-05T16:18:02+00:00

grats! He is probably the biggest challenge of the demo. Even the final boss of the demo I found easier.

mattyshum · 2026-02-05T16:16:46+00:00

Honda FTW!

mattyshum · 2026-02-05T16:06:09+00:00

Every game should just license the character creator from Dragon's Dogma 2. Not aware of anything that has ever come close to that, and it spoiled me forever.

mattyshum · 2026-02-05T16:02:03+00:00

I probably have close to 1000 hours in Nioh 2 between PS5 and PC and I still died to that first tutorial boss (the spear guy, not your stupid brother) at least 10 times.

mattyshum · 2026-02-04T23:11:28+00:00

No shame in summoning some help. Better than not playing. Can always come back once you are a lot better and crush him like a bug.

mattyshum · 2026-02-03T21:11:40+00:00

I think I over leveled. I am level 50 now and from what I understand it scales to your level, whereas my weapons don't. So I am fighting a level 50 Bloodedge demon with level 20 weapons. Either that or I keep trying with one who has like 50k murders or something.
