I'd asked before, but I could use more guidance: what the hell can I do to make Yuki Onna less of a bitch to fight? She's wrecking me pretty handily and I only have my two relatively weak onmyo fire talismans.

She's wrecking me pretty handily and I only have my two relatively weak onmyo fire talismans. Are you a magic build? If so, sloth talismans are the answer. Do you have a fire guardian spirit? Kato is super good against her. What I did is pop an extraction talisman and kill the guy and the ghost right before the boss so that I would go in with a full living weapon gauge. Edit: i guess you're obviously not if you only have 2 talismans. Durrrr. Edit 2: living weapon is still a pretty good bet. Without extraction talismans it's a bit more of a chore to get up. If you have the fire rat, he charges way faster than the fire dog. Snak fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Feb 12, 2017 |

Zaphod42 posted:Stay close to her so she does more of her melee attacks. Learn which are safer to dodge and which are safer to block, and when you can punish her and get hits in. None of this is wrong at all, but I actually found baiting her distance attacks in the first half (sonic paralysis, psycho crusher) to be really easy. Go in for a swipe or two, block if you must but she has one combo that really fucks you over even on block. Backdashing is best. Patience and don't get greedy, basically. Second half ( air sonic paralysis and air needles and air crush) are all super easy to dodge and punish.

Punching looks cool. But popping 3 buffs for ultra damage and not getting cool new weapons seems a boring way to play.

Suzaku is my new favorite spirit. If your Amrita Gauge is full when your Life hits 0, it automatically activates Living Weapon and then gives you 1 Life back when it runs out. And if you reach critical Life, it auto-charges your Amrita Gauge. That owns.

Eh, it's smart to pop damage buffs for any class and movesets are the same for every weapon in a class? So unless you really like weapon skins, it's not really different.

I'm really hoping DLC will add some more weapons, the ones we have for now are obviously good and robust enough, I just want some more to mix it up even more, give me a kanabo and some weird stuff. I mean we're getting a DLC with Masamune Date, dual guns when Team Ninja

So is there a way to get the Yatagarasu armor other than farming the Immortal Flame mission? The only guide I can find says most of the parts are drops from the boss of that mission and I don't really want to run the whole mission over and over to get it, even though it looks rad as gently caress.

It really annoys me that every stat specifically lists which weapon it works with except the kusarigama. I know it's Dex, but why not just say it. Also, a lot of armor has the weight listed in parenthesis next to the name, but some of them don't have anything. If they don't have a listing is the armor considered some sort of different class? And besides the Agility rating is there any difference in wearing different armor? Heavy armor actually increases your survivability by a crazy amount, and since iframes don't work the same way it really doesn't seem like Light armor is worth it, even with a Skill/Dex build. I'll get two-shot by Yokai if I mess up a dodge in light armor, but with heavy armor I can tank hits and block and still dodge.

Holy poo poo the Sekigahara mission is my favorite so far. Mission/story spoiler: Sneaking behind enemy lines in the middle of a war and using the sneak talisman and axing everyone in the back was  I'm not sure I get the complaints about level design in this game. There's lots of variety, I've even got lost a few times and that's never happened in Dark Souls.

I'm in chapter 5 now and a few observations: 1) The level with the castle on fire is bizarrely ugly and barren and looks like it's from a game made a decade ago. 2) I have no loving idea who anyone is any more, who all these armies and generals are, and why anyone is fighting.

The only thing I actually know is Kelly has William's spirit still and he wants to use the amrita to do fuckin I don't even know anymore I don't think they even said. edit: It also is where the level design and enemy placement reaches peak awful. Definitely the low point of the game for me for multiple reasons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sengoku_period#Unification I haven't played this game (no PS4), but from spoiling myself on various things I think this is basically required reading to understand the plot. The game seems to assume a level of historical knowledge that most Westerners lack.

katkillad2 posted:Holy poo poo the Sekigahara mission is my favorite so far. Mission/story spoiler: Sneaking behind enemy lines in the middle of a war and using the sneak talisman and axing everyone in the back was That was my favorite level in the game by far. A totally different sort of map for a Soulslike, but it worked incredibly well with the mechanics. Choosing how to navigate through the different hazards was awesome. There are several different paths through it, all formed by enemy placement rather than geometry. It's kind of what From was going for with Ariandel, but executed far better. I do think most of the levels rank are a hair less below average (Non DS2) Souls map, but it also never has the lows of Souls worst areas either. Also, a lot of Nioh maps are recreations of real-world locations, which is both very cool and somewhat limiting.

Initially I was following it pretty well and then they started talking about the military unification of Japan inbetween me running around killing demons and I just was like

Yeah essentially. You're a dude searching for a McGuffin, and the hunt takes you to both every famous person and every notable event from the era, and the levels include detailed recreations of famous landmarks. Just remove the future scifi bits and replace them with a heavy dose of folklore.

That boss upsets me as well because if you melee him there's a good 1/10 chance of you suddenly plunge attacking right off the edge of the arena. His hitbox will just straight up vanish at random to allow you to careen to your death. I absolutely loathe that stage, it is more frustrating than just about anything in Dark Souls, except MAYBE the original version of the Shrine of Amana.

When I beat Umi-Bozu I got a little lucky on his deathbeam (only fired twice) but I didn't have too much trouble just by treating him like the mini-bozus. Hit his glowy spots after an attack and just throw kayaku-dama at him when you can't. Didn't seem so bad after Nue and Muneshige.

When an item piece or Set Bonus says something like "Ki Damage" or "Skill Damage", does that just mean a bonus to those types of damage? IE "Ki Damage" would mean you do additional Ki Damage to an opponent, and "Skill Damage" means you do additional damage based on your Skill based weapons?

Body/Skill is light, Body/Strength is medium, Strength/Stamina is heavy. There's some differences in damage reduction between the armor classes. The difference between light and heavy is noticeable, but the difference between light and medium is pretty small.

I have the hardest loving time getting the dodge timing down for his final phase. Like, it seems like it should be easy to dodge the big slam, but he always manages to clip me with the hitbox as I try to zip out. I'm clearly reacting to the wrong tell, but it's kind of hard to do that, especially if you end up dodging off the loving goddamn ledge because you can't see that there's a hole there because the level is dark as poo poo.
