Is there a list of who's in the game?

Yo, Mid axe is hype. Also fluxing stance dancing on 2kat is epitome of fun. Thanks Tninja can't wait for release

What were in weapons during 1600 England?

PROTIP

DONT MASH DASH WHEN THE OGRESS JUMPS AT YOU IF YOU ARE LOCKED ON

BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVENT REVERTED THE LOCK-ON TO HOW IT WAS IN THE ALPHA, DURING HER DOWNWARD ARC OF THE JUMP OVER YOU, IF YOU DASH, YOU WILL INSTEAD GO TOWARDS HER AND OFTEN BE IN HER AREA OF EFFECT WHEN SHE LANDS

just spam roll towards he
literally never got hit

can i leave the shirne after offering an ochoko cup?

so I beat the ogress, and it wanted me to go to psn to get 2 rewards, one of them said unavailable, the other I got. Was that all the bonuses? I recall there being 3 rewards, one from alpha, one from beta, and one from this. But is one bugged or what?

Just trying to get all that shit before demo goes away.

>didn't know you could gesture to the mimic to get them to give you items without a fight

what other things are easy to miss?

So how many more weapon types will there be besides the ones in the demos and the 2 weapons we saw in the screens and trailers --club and greatsword

>old beta guide that might still be useful pastebin.com/VEHby7kd
All of this information is in the fucking game.

Hell, it was in the game in the beta too.

Why are you so retarded you'd write this up, let alone save and link it?

>In the mission select screen
>PS4 fan starts getting loud

did this happen to anyone else?

you can swim by tapping x repeatedly

The third bonus is based on having the save data on your system.

It's pretty much all the late Sengoku period stand outs. Everyone who was alive right around the battle of sekigahara.

>everyone keeps killing the poor guy

maybe they shouldn't have made him blow the players away

the demon walls (not in this demo afaik) will dissolve without a fight if you bow to them.

Nope.

yes im getting killed by this.

im fucking new but you can roll? how? or do you mean dash towards her?

yes you'll have a little thing in the top right of your screen showign you're searching

So can you only parry riposte other humanoids? Trying on these statue dudes and it's not working

Are people still getting shit on by muneshige? I've been laughing my ass off all day at the shitters who think he's impossible.
No not just bowing, you see an npc revenant that lists how it died (for being too polite, too neutral, etc) that corresponds to the gestures. Perform the opposite of that gesture type to pass the wall.

>mfw finally banlifted to enjoy my Nioh demo with my Nioh bros. I'm glad the threads picked up and I believe it to be a fantastic game that reward having tight control/footing in different fun builds that require different skillcaps. You can cheese it up or go full nakedhonorobru and it still feels great.

Nothing require massive balance in this game because it's a PvE+Co-op game first and foremost. Glad they will just throw the PvP as an ''afterthought''. I hope it will only be different types of arena. Keeping the rest of the game jolly-cooperation only and fun builds.

Why should you not be able to ninja the stage out anyway ? See what I mean.

okay, so then I should have all 3 at this point? what's the deal with the one saying unavailable from the store?

Anyone up for some jolly co-op? Set pw as RAGE, I'll be looking. Just tell me if you're doing yokai realm or random visitor.

Unlock the camera when she goes sky high, roll in the opposite direction of where she was and turn around when she lands.

Have you been unlocking skills in the Learn Skills tab? What weapon do you utilize?
Single Katanas, dual katanas, spears and chain+sickle all have kick moves you can unlock.

It'll say "perform a kick that depletes the enemies stamina". For katanas it's Triangle at the end of combos in some stances, same with 2kat and spear. Chain and sickle involves guarding and then hitting square. These moves are all great because of their low cost, fast come out speed and high stamina damage so they help build a stamina break where the boss is super vulnerable and defenseless.

LW means Living Weapon, when you hit Circle+Triangle to activate your spirit animal. The circular icon near your health bar that fills up as you fight stuff. Living weapon:
>turns you invincible
>provides a huge boost to attack and a new moveset
>increases weapon range
>gives you basically infinite stamina for the time being
Go full retard and spam whatever you can to do a lot of damage when. Additionally, pop it when you're in an oh fuck situation and about to die but can't heal.

the second dash is a roll if she's above you and you're spamming it

thats ok. that doesn't top my autism


i didn't know you could scroll down on the skills menu until 4 hours in

Wtf? Just dodge to the left you nigger he will dodge whatever direction you are pointing.

oh hey its you. Welcome back

Tap X twice.

>tfw you will never be this good
youtube.com/watch?v=NXDi0AdgXOQ

Supposedly you need to beat the twilight, or whatever the fuck its called, version of the mission to unlock it. Despite it saying you already unlocked it.

the skill cap for this game would be insane

...

You have one of the ps4 models that was rushed for holiday so the power supply is faulty. It tends to overheat from time to time causing the fan to pick up.
Eventually that shit will actully start melting the power supply bit which gives off a pretty acrid smoke you'll taste more than you'll smell or see which is actually fairly toxic.

If this happens you can mail it in to sony and they'll slap your hard drive into a new one free of charge but it'll take a couple months round trip.

Grats.

Can anyone recommend a decent build for sword usage? So far I've just been putting points into Heart. Not sure if there are other stats I should be looking at. Really all I use is my sword.

I was so happy I figured out flux by myself and integrated it as instinct for every fight. It's so damn fluid and fast.

>Nothing require massive balance

No

2kat still needs to stop being a shitter crutch.

Post your Williams.
Show me your inferior style choices.

Fuck you goblin. You're the worst thing second only to wheel demons

hmm alright, guess i'll try for that then.

anyone else able to comment on how to make sure to unlock all the marks n shit? Is this one that says unavailable for beating the twilight mission?

That's bullshit, but i believe it. Only in the surface, right?.

some points in spirit to get guardian spirit bonuses.

Thank you guys.
I actually defeated her while you answered
I used quick slash with twin katanas and managed to avoid most of her jumps by dodging right or left, always hugging her.

Either way i was out of elixir and literally 1/5 of healthbar left lol

This game is fun man, im glad i checked it out again. I played the beta some time ago but was unimpressed.

Does this mean i unlocked the mask thingy?

>can't find the higher ranked sword or gloves after all these attempts
I'm tired of farming Tachibana guys. Maybe when the full game releases people will die on purpose so folks can get OP gear easier.

If you wait awhile after encountering it but don't attack it or bow, it will do a frustration stomp gesture before aggroing. When you kill it you get the gesture.

What's this guy weakness? magic?

Heart, body, and strength.

Important to keep in mind that dodges are not omnidirectional, but cardinal. Wirriam can only dodge in four directions

>2kat
>not spears

>pop it when you're in an oh fuck situation and about to die but can't heal.

Exactly what I did to beat her. Reposting from previous thread:

>Ran out of elixirs
>10% of health left
>Ogress had 40% of health left
>Her stamina ran out
>At the same time, my Spirit Guardian gauge just got filled
>Activated living weapon
>Went ham on her
>Living weapon meter about to ran out
>Ogress' health also about to ran out
>At the last second, activated ultimate move by pressing triangle + O
>It finished her off

This game is satisfying as fuck. This is my first ever Souls game, I'll go check the others out if they're this exciting.

Do you know what specific model?. Also, am i covered even after the first year?.

SOMETIMES I FOLLOWUP MY SWIPE WITH A SPIN KICK

SOMETIMES I DON'T

IF YOU WAIT LONG ENOUGH TO FIND OUT YOU'LL HAVE MISSED YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO DAMAGE ME

Finally back from work.

Beat the first level in about an hour and a half with the new weapon last night, the most difficult part was the fucking tengu. Then spent some time helping other people online.

How you all liking it?

When locked on. Also if you're in midstance and dodge twice quickly he will dash and then roll.

People just need to experiment

fug if only i had known that.

I was sweating like a pig with my little ass life left and she on 1/3rd of her health

it said i unlocked both but said the oni one wasn't available but i could download the bat one
i did beat the alpha though so i dunno

Love this, spent 30+ on 3 demos alone.

Dumped every point into dex.

Kurisagami.

High stance.

That scorpion get over here skill.

Hold triangle, mash square.

Finished demo with 2 deaths.

so i seen when you are helping someone out with a level and they mimic properly, he will get mad and attack you, i have also tried doing the right emote and the same time but still nothing

maybe they dont work when you are helping people out or getting help?

Eh, it wasn't that hard in the normal mission, by using hit and run tactics.

So I killed it and Its easily the hardest thing in the level.

I used high stance spear, hit once or twice, went left at a specific distance, and it used the same two hit move over and over specifically. Felt like I cheesed its programming/ai or something, but whatever.

I used flame on to my axe and crushed him pretty fast.

get on my fashion level

>shitter crutch
Oh boy, I see the DaS crowd is with us.

>do Twilight level twice
>get every Shinobi armourpiece 2 or 3 times
>except the fucking chest
Also I'm regretting being a rolly-polly samurai. I want to stand and guard my shit with heavy armour because it looks so great.

Question:
if my psn is PAL but the game i buy is NTSC, will the masks work?

Honestly very disappointed in this game. Every fucking beta nerfs it. In the alpha morons would get pooped on for ignoring ki pulses and even normal enemies could pose a threat. Now mooks die like dynasty warriors goons and every dumbfuck streamer goes either lmao2kat and spear, ignores ki pulse completely and mashes square to win with relative ease. Such a fucking shame.

>first ever souls game
>nioh
bloodborne is the only one that can even remotely compare to nioh

how exactly does low stance "maintain your guard as you move" when I can move while blocking in all stances?

Stop it.

Stop fighting the samurai. Just go do the mission a few more times and gear up then come back. You arent even supposed to beat him yet

I don't know, but, why did you got yourself in such predicament?.

How fast can you do the twilight mission to get the rewards? I only have like 3 hours I can play tomrrow and I just dropped the Ogress.

Flux doesn't seem to give that much of a boost for something that seems needless complicated. Complicated in the sense that the controls for stance switching in the middle of all this shit aren't very intuitive.

But hey, I'm a shitter so whatever.

depends on how good you are

>first Souls game

This is not a Souls game, fuck this meme needs to die. Just because exp and dying works the same doesn't mean its the same fucking game.

Mid axe is so good, hits so hard and doesn't drink stamina

Probably mad they already have another William with them

Fire seemed rather good on him as did lightning.
Congrats user, knew you could do it and hope you had fun.
Exactomundo, it's something I don't think a lot of people consider. It's a get out of jail free card that also provides a shit ton of damage. Combine that with the spell that makes you invulnerable to a set amount of damage and you can get pretty tanky.

can anyone else not get mark of the conqueror? I just get a generic "this content cannot be selected at this time" message.

Also I cleared twilight, but apart from being able to enter as a visitor I see no difference from before in regards to getting the ogress mask. What's up with that?

you dont need to do the twilight missions to get the mark rewards just go to the main menu after you beat the ogress the first time and there is a option to get the marks through psn

Why would you even buy an NTSC game to go on a PAL console.

The answer is no. DLC/downloadable content is region locked. Always has been, always will be.

I keep trying to press it, but I'm in the early stages and tap it like a shitter. When the full game comes out, I'll get it down.

That samurai guy after the ogre bitch is fucking me up. What do i do?

How the fuck do I get out? I'm locked to the god damn mission.

Tokugawa was forced into killing his son by Nobunaga, because of rumours about his son and his mother planning a coup against his boss.

Tokugawa did not kill Hidetada, the one who showed up late to Sekigahara, in fact the boy went on to become the Shogun of Japan.

Do not believe Mitsunari Ishida lies.

Tokugawa is absolutely a ruthless dude much like any other Daimyo of the time but he isn't cruel.

who /buffsouls/ here?

I made my account in 2008, and im neither in europe, or USA
I was retarded and chose europe.

Also the game told me i had unlocked something for the full game, and then it took me to psn and i clicked on download but nothing actually downloaded as far as i know, is this normal or are you supposed to be able to see the actual file in the "downloads" section?

How are they not intuitive? You use r1 to ki pulse, you use r1 plus another button to ki flux. Its easy as piss what is so difficult to understand about this shit.

FUCK YOU DAD I DID IT THROUGH SHEER FORCE OF Will

Oh, you get the Ogress mask for the twilight mission then?

TWO MEN ENTER
ONE MAN LEAVES
cheese him with the rock if you can't beat him normally

I'm so fucking surprise how clean are the Nioh threads since the demo dropped. A lot of the same questions get asked and I'm glad some of you keep sharing knowledge.

I did the alpha and the beta and really enjoyed it. The alpha was fun in a masochist way but I feel the beta rounded it for more people while keeping the satisfying stuff. I finally got time to start the Last Chance Trial now. How did you like it yourself ? I guess you finished it.

I'm pretty sure anyone with enough will invested any weapons will clear the entire game anyway.

>not liking the game because of how other players will play it

Thats only the 2 psn marks, beating the twilight mission gets you a third mark, requires you to have the save data when the game is released.

How much longer is the beta up for in the US?

I dont want to sleep yet if it's going down in just a few hours or something.

>cheese him with the rock

?

i didnt say PAL console, i said PAL account

Yeah, Flux doesn't seem worth it to me to even bother with getting the timing down. I'm hardly ever wanting to switch stances mid fight anyways.

So what the fuck do the kodama bowls do? Just help you find them in levels?

nioh general when?

Ki Pulse itself already feels awkward as fuck having to tap R1 in the middle of combat ever 2 or 3 seconds.

THE rock
