What do they do?

I feel like this with so many items, a lot of the descriptions are so bad I have no clue what they actually do. I used a Kodama pot, he showed up... waved and left. Ok?

It cost like 300k to get my 40% toughness helm up to my level. It adds like +35-40 toughness compared to the other best heavy helms I'm finding. I don't think I can every replace this thing.

is the warrior of the east armor just straight up better for spear users than red demon? the red demon set is solid but the warrior of the east one seems a bit more designed for dedicated spear users. i guess you could theoretically go 5 pieces of WotE and 2 of Red Demon but the only way to do that is to have two spears equipped and that seems unnecessary.

Do I need to battle revenants?

They can drop sweet gear. Later game spoilers, the glory they drop is a currency for a new shop that will open up that lets you buy items, most importantly book of reincarnation if they become too expensive at the other shop, and also poses and transformations so you don't have to look like the guy from The Witcher.

What guardian spirit is everybody rocking currently?

I'm bat-man.

Initially started with Daiba-Washi, the bird, for evasion Ki usage but when I hit the prestige cap for that element I switched to Enko, the lion. I think I just capped the fire challenge though so time to switch again to a different element.

I rock Daiba-Washi almost entirely on principle. It's a bird with braids.

I switch when I need something else specific, but Daiba-Washi is my fave. Bird has hair.

When I finished Bat Boss Lady, the mision over screen said I had unlocked a Smithing Text (Something about the Bull... Fuke-ushe or some such...) Where do I find this or use it? I'm in Forge...

When you have unlock a nrw smithing text, when you select Forge, it will say "you handed over smithing text" and the item(s) will now be available to be forged. So whatever item you got the text for is now craftable.

Except it didn't say that when I went to the forge and I don't think I see that item anywhere. But I thought it was armor, let me double check if it's a weapon.

[edit] Nope no evidence of it.

Lifeseal Talisman was definitely the way to go with Muneshige, so thanks whoever suggested that. Not sure how you're expected to win without it.

By letting him run out of ki normally, dude uses up a ton constantly.

I found one of those in one of the sub missions for where you fight the bat chick, it was sitting near the hot spring which made no sense.

Oh, lighten up Mr. Dooms-and-Gloom, "embezzle" is metal.
2nd session playing and just beat Hino Enma, god drat what a hard fight. I had to go through multiple iterations of strategy including crafting the Ninjitsu Paralysis Pellets (which are insanely useful for that fight because you can activate them while paralyzed)

Finally killed her cheesing with the Kurigama High Stance heavy sniper attack

Feels good tho, not having too much trouble now with combat besides bosses, HE took me probably 25 tries or so but it's clicking finally

That tail grab is a nasty surprise. I actually laughed at it, I haven't actually seen a boss do a grab attack from behind like that before. But with the tail animation, it makes sense. And then you watch for it next time.

Yep! He even does it earlier in the video but it missed and I thought it was just a cute tail wiggle, not an attack.


So I'm around level 90 and have kind of a lovely problem. I've been rocking medium armor all game but now with Stamina at 15 and Skill at 10 there's pretty much no armor I can actually wear. All the light armor requires Skill of 12 or above and the medium armor's weight has crept up so high that an all medium set puts me over 70%. That honestly kinda sucks! I have no use for Stamina and you barely get any extra carrying capacity for each level you pump into it. Ugh.

If you die with lots of amrita just use a summoner's candle to get it back

Bloodstains appear to be based on the level geography, not the mission. So it could be that there is no wall on that mission, but there is on another?

You can also hear bats, like if they are within 20 feet of you. And you can shoot them.

Edit: prot tip: don't get so drunk that you redo the main mission instead of the submission.

Just beat the fifth mission. I hate levels where you can fall to your death and flan-type enemies are dumb so this was just a total clusterfuck. 99 deaths in 4 hr 22 min. Also my amrita lost is up to 207,028. I used a guide to find the kodama because exploring was not fun at all

I was so excited to go deep, deep in Ninjitsu. Pumped dexterity, got the entire Iga Ninja set in purple. Had a Kusarigama doing 400+ damage and enough Ninjitsu points to get anything I wanted.

Turns out the Kusarigama is awkward against non-human enemies, and no force on earth can make Ninjitsu do respectable damage. Back to the sword with me.
Should I avoid going deep into magic, for this same reason? I love the utility stuff and want to like the damaging stuff but I've been burned before.

Dude if you're saying you can't find all the kodama because you walk off cliffs if there aren't walls to stop you, I don't know what to say.

I'm not very good at this game, but kodama are not unfairly hidden.

Christ, I don't really give a gently caress what you think.

There's one kodama in mission 5 that involves crossing three narrow planks, climbing up a ladder, snaking around a set of rooftops, then going behind a piece of broken debris that looks impassable, then snaking across the roofs of three other buildings to go to the far corner of the map where there is literally nothing else except that one kodama and an enemy to knock you into the water. I already had 8 of 9 and I didn't want to spend any more time looking for it
