I'am a Conqueror, bitch!

Just completed it today, I had it download for a while now but didn't have enough time to play, then i found out it's a timed demo so i had to finish it soon. Great experience, one of the best demos I've ever played, definitely going to pick of the main game.

I didn't know it was timed, when does it end?

I didn't even get past the first few enemies.

I beat the first boss, but the second is just too much of a pain in the ass to get to from the respawn point.

I had a great time with it, i had more fun playing this than the whole of DS3.

The game is hard but the combat is so fun, its like ninja gaiden with stamina management. But the ki pulse makes skill rewarded by allowing for long combos.

good game looking forward to it.

You do know there's a second shrine right next to the boss door, right?

Yes, but I only played it for like an hour rushing to the end. I didn't really understand a lot about its mechanics.

There's a door you can unlock to the right of the boss gate, you need a key, though (hug the left wall and reach the left side of the temple, there's a chest there and it contains the key).

how do you redeem the mark?

the store page wont load for me

Can the mark even be downloaded right now? I got it on the day the demo went out, but it just takes me to the page, says I got it but doesn't let me download shit, even when going to the page again.

this

>tfw no ps4 yet ;_;

They're not hard, just go high stance and kill them in 2-3 hits each. Now when you enter harbor district, that's when shit gets real.

I don't really like control layout, particularly the stance change, I think it would work better bound to d-pad.

Axe > katana > spear > hammer

Just sayan.

But user... Axe and Hammer are the same weapon.

But they do different type of damage.

Got my mark last weekend then stopped, I didn't want to grind and spoil to much for myself

>Finally beat the first boss
>"Wow what a great demo, i would have never expected this much content."
>There's a second level

It does feel a bit tacked on, being short and with all those enemies just piled up infront of the boss door, but still that was quite amazing.

I beat it in one 6-8 hour sitting. I liked it and greatly look forward to the final product.

ITT: terrible boss designs?

I sure hope final game will have decent environment variety, the demo looks terrible on the visual front, just a muddy village at night with a few almost sprite fires scattered around. And considering old Japanese architecture it doesn't seem like it would be able to stand against souls series with their gothic cathedrals and fantasy castles.

i beat it and got all the little green dudes too.

idk if i'll buy it tho desu, it was ok but not something i want to really spend money on...

The demo takes place in japanese undead settlement, read the mission description. Have you seen japanese castles and shrines? They can get pretty big yknow.

I think he means the details inside those castles rather than pure scale.

i've died to the first boss more than 90% of souls bosses. that and the fact that if youre farming exp and someone gets summoned, you can't level up, and then lose all that exp to dying to the boss makes this game really unfun

Stuck on the first boss. Got any tips? He seems pretty slow but using just using quick attacks takes forever to chip away at his health.

When is time up on the demo? I keep forgetting to download it

So you don't have to complete the whole demo to get the dlc bonus?

I barely even bothered with levelling up, randomized loot pretty much guarantees that in time you'll get a weapon that deals fuckload more damage. I really think they made mistake of using this diabolo-liek system, it fucked up Darksiders 2 gameplay and it fucks up Ni-Oh as well.

Don't dash or roll, just run. It uses less Ki, it's faster and since he's slow he won't hit you.

You can block the chains when he sweeps but you can't block his balls. Save up a living weapon and activate it once the chains break and he gets into his second form for an easy win.

You can block the ball and chain when he spins without much trouble. Use bombs.

Don't get greedy
>evade attack
>hit him 1-2 times
>get away from him for the spin
When he loses the chains you can either do the same or just stay on the other side of the room and lob bombs at him after evading balls.

use a weapon with elemental damage

where is the mark of the conqueror in your data? it prompted me to download it after i beat the first stage but no progress bar came up and i dont see it in my storage?

There's nothing to download yet, for now it's just a digital license tied to your account through the PSN store

Shoulda made the mark for defeating the Nue, the Onryoki was too ez... well Nue was too

Beat it. Lots of fun, but the Nue boss was poorly designed. They really need to balance stuff out, the poor thing doesn't even stand a chance if you just go low stance katana to stagger his ribs and then pop living weapon. Then if you don't cheese him out like that, he's a total damage sponge, so you pretty much have to.

It's understandable given that the game is still a while off, but you have to worry the whole game might have balance issues like that.

Still great though, definitely going to pick it up when it's out

If you use that "prevent demon auras from draining your ki/regain stamina faster" scroll, you'll do a ton of damage.

That's how I killed him. My weak sword strikes wih the upper stance were doing almost 500 damage.

That and you'll nullify his evil aura so you won't have to worry about stamina

Beat boat guy, beat Nue, got every kodama and killed myself with the sudoku sword. 10/10 would play again

You couldn't be more wrong
Spear high stance > EVERYTHING if you have to get good at something get good at that and you will dominate the game

I beat the first boss but I didn't get the Chidori spear?

Finally beat that faggot Nue.

I really, really hope that they don't just nerf spirit mode into oblivion. In a game like this, you really should be able to do some overpowered things once in a while.

barely got it in time last night

feels bad how many tries onryoki took but my problem might be my choice of weapon (I put all my points in hammer shit because it was good against normal enemies). Once I realized that you can basically obliterate its ki with high stance attacks I got it down.

how do i progress in stage 2? i see a broken bridge but no ramp to get up to out of the pond

There's one back near the beginning of the level. Further on there are trees you can topple to make further ramps.

I got Mark of The Conqueror after a couple of hours the day it was released, I've just been too lazy to turn my PS4 on again to finish the second level. I'll just play it when it releases, whatever. Even though it's just a demo it's still the best game I've played in years, I just don't have much motivation to try and beat a game that I only have access to for a limited time.

Why does summoning a visitor take so long?

Not many people are trying to be summoned I guess.

It used to be instant, but the demo period is ending. So I doubt many people are left playing it.

Any word on when it will be released for PC?

I've played the alpha daily, probably 20 hours or more in. I have a lvl 43 and a lvl 1 I've been trying to beat first boss with, but I fail once I reach his second form. Still, I'm in love /v.

Bait his attacks, use low stance to dash into range and hit him once, then kick him. Repeat four times and his Ki will be gone. Then wail on him with supah saiyan mode.

i hope soon the framarate on movie mode is shit and action mode looks like ps3

3 on 1

Katina low stance, combo into kick until he staggers, living weapon the fuck out of him in mid stance. He should have varying degrees of health below halfway now, use sloth talisman and high stance axe until he's done. Bonus if you also have the ninja traps scattered all over the floor

Oh shit

>water element talisman
>katana high stance
>spam triangle twice after he attacks
>once his chains break activate living weapon water style
>spam triangle while dodging his 3 hit thrash attacks
>do not bother trying to hit him when he uses those balls
>do not stand in that gray/black mist he puts around him, it depletes your ki

there you go, in and out in less than 5 minutes.

FYI: I beat him at level 25 and put all my stats into stamina before realizing it caps at 20, then only gives +1 ki per level.

>tfw I'm stuck on the boat boss
Reeeeeee

I thought it ended yesterday?

Summon someone, you better beat it soon or you'll be conquered forever.

lol it's so shit. literally a ripoff of dark souls

It's literally nothing like Dark Souls other than a few design choices.

Finally beat that Onryoki...
Where my Late Night Shark Bros at?

We're still able to play it but they said it ends 5th May so it'll be committing sudoku any time now.

it is. literally just a different theme. I was expecting a totally unique experience like ninja gaiden and this is is the shit we got

how do you get on top of the castle and the nearby building in stage 2? i see no ladders

You gotta walk up the trees.

Please explain how you quickly regain Ki after an attack.
If you cannot answer this question you must accept the title of 'shitposter'.

>literally just a different theme
There are Souls mechanics in there like having to get your Amrita back when you die, but it has obvious differences.

I'm level 13. Think I missed something. Going to just try starting the demo over. Weapons have been getting worn down and I think I'll ease into it better if I reatart. Shouldn't take me long to get back here now that I'm not going in blind.

i cant reach the one on top of the hut still, rolling doesnt cut it

That one depends on positioning. It's possible to just simple run off the edge at the right angle to land on the lower one.

Please. Does anyone know what time the demo ends?

I'm off in 4 hours and in afraid I'll end up conquered

They said it ends 5th May so it'll be committing sudoku any time now.

Love the gameplay.

The armor and weapon degradation is awful though. Not a fan of everyone being the same guy either

mfw i summon someone to nue and they die immediately. what element hurts him anyway?

The only similarity is experience points being lost on death with a "grave" left behind until you recover it or die again. Not one other thing is similar or exclusive to the Souls IP.

Heh, I feel the same way.

I just beat Nue about 15 minutes ago, and yesterday I made several attempts to beat him but my armor and weapon were worn down to nothing. Still, the game lets you use weapons even if the durability is zero, and I stil beat both bosses with no durability left on the armor and weapons. i just don't really think about it because it's too much of a bother.

Several times I've summoned assholes that don't even help. They just stand their and use one of the continuous emotes

I downloaded mine through the HK PSN, and pic related pop up at 3am May 6th of my time. So yeah I assume everyone's demo will expire the same way depending on your time zone.

>tfw no more Nioh threads after today

Are you saying I have until 3 am?!

I'm contemplating burning down my work place to leave and get my mark

It's 10 am in didgerydooland on the 6th and I'm still playing

Soon enough we'll have a full badass game to play.

Speaking of which, do we know how much content they plan to have on release? I don't expect it to be as long as a Souls game, but hopefully it's not short, like under 30 hours.

How is the leveling going to work? I mean the demos first level looks to be the real first level and people are getting leveling up like 15 times.

How do I put down my sign for others? I've beaten both stages of the demo four times on four separate characters and still haven't figured this out.

I want to know that too. I was level 21 after the second level, without grinding.

You need to go back to the map screen (himorogi branch if you're in a level right now) select one of the two levels and press 'square' for matchmaking.

Be warned it's pretty fucked up.

I CAN'T FIND THE FUCKING WARRIOR KODAMA ON THE SECOND LEVEL
IT'S THE LAST ONE I NEED
PLEASE HELP

>KODAMA
what do they even do?

Nothing really, buff drop rates of items.
Collecting all of them does nothing, but I'm 14/15 and I FUCKING WANT IT.

I feel like any less than 10 levels and this demo would be a mistake.

I don't know which one the warrior one is, but I seem to remember that there was one near the second shrine. Did you get that one?

Revenants are too easy. They absolutely cannot deal with you blocking

dying in one shot by enemies how do I stop this bullshit?

I found it. Literally right at the beginning of the level.

Dodge and block.

Block, dodge, find armour, raise body.
