How do I fight many enemies at once outside of running back and hoping they walk into my sword/spear/hammer?
I am very new to this game and I can't seem to get a handle on what the game expects of me.
Ki Pulse has been helping a lot in single battles but group fights I'm still lost in.
>>335769368
Axe spin2win is pretty good for this, as is the AOE. Not sure about the other weapons. Check your moves and use the style and attack that was the broadest sweeps for your weapon of choice.
>>335769368
Spear mid stance. Mid and low stance help against crowds. Biggest help against crowds is to not pull crowds.
>WHAT THE FUCK WAS I STUCK ON the game
>>335769186
Funnily enough I ended up beating this guy by throwing off all my armor and just poking him with low stance axe for a couple minutes. Probably in efficient as hell but it worked.
>>335769368

>>335769368
You can also use arrows and rocks to pull enemies on their own or at most in pairs.

Shurikens are good for this as well.
>>335769493
Given that his lightning attacks fuck me up in one or max two hits gitting nekd is probably not a bad idea at all.

The same way you do in souls, duck out of there, kite around enemy, prioritize fast enemies over slow ones(the katana weilders instead of spear weilders) then slowly break them down, wait for an opening, punishing and duck out, rinse and repeat. Play tactical and you'll curb stomp what the game throws at you. Gank squads are a little difficult but you can do it you just have to be patient.
That or equip spear for crowd control
>>335769368
Spear midstance has great sweeping attacks good for multiple people, also if its a small group like 2 or 3 and you prefer your sword don't forget about parries and stuff, most people running at you will do some sort of attack, parry the first guy so he goes past you, switch focus to the next person coming in and take them out.
It works super well once you get it down and shit.
>>335769865Not him but I have a full set of armor and I still go down in about 3-4 if I'm lucky. It is all N armor and I'm not sure what that means.
Also is there a way to repair your weapons?
My stuff is breaking and I haven't found a means to fix it.

Square puts you behind the enemy. Triangle just prevents it.
>>335771446
I mean, I might not move to get behind the enemy with triangle, but the go past me and my guy turns around, so I'm still behind them.
For all the people complaining about one shots, are you actually meeting the requirements for the armor you're wearing? Otherwise you're pretty much wearing nothing.
Why do I teleport sometimes?
Is it because I Dodge during a ki burst or something?

>>335771779
I actually have, even made an EU account because I didn't want to wait another day.
It's just so painfully medicore, but it's probably my own fault. I've hyped this game up to myself since I seen it during the TGS stream.
This game is booty blasting me
I've probably played for around 3 hours and I got the key from that demon and then unlocked a bridge shortcut in the next area.
How much is left?
Just beat the oni boat boss. Once you realize you have to hug him and stay up on his ass it gets a lot easier. Its all about timing your blocks and attacks and watching his movements and then baiting him into moves in the second phase. Really good boss overall.
Ki burst comboing into the katana sheathe/quickdraw attack is pretty satisfying
>>335771917
Why do you believe it's mediocre?
>>335771934
>Staying on him
How the hell did this work, when I tried staying on him he would just slam his balls down. I found that staying at the edge of his attacks and going in after worked a lot better.
>>335771874
I'm too embarrassed to do that.
>>335771932
To finish the demo and get the free DLC all you have to do is beat the boat boss.
There's another level you can do but it's optional. If you decide to do it then prepare to get your ass kicked.
>>335772073
It's okay anon. I won't laugh at you :333
I think I'd like Willy's look more if he had a beard.
>>335772061
Its all about dodging into the side he is attacking on and going under his attacks and learning to read those sweeping chainball attacks. After trying to stay outside of his attacks for a good 20 or 30 deaths I finally just dove in learned block timing and used ki bursts to keep up my ki while attacking him constantly. Worked great and I got him on my second time doing it.
Second phase is completely different and I just baited him into walking across the room to get balls and hit him during that walk cycle
>>335772205
I'm not worried about being laughed at.
DSP is actually good at nioh
>>335772018
Weapons break pretty fast, excluding axes. I prefer axes anyhow, so it wasn't too bad.
Armor also, but once I got better that problem became a non issue.
Since weapons are meant to come and go, builds are basically nonexistent, so replayability will probably be low.
You can only have two talismans/ninjutsus on your quick item slot which makes me not want to waste points on more than two. I usually do a weapon buff talisman, and the one that greatly increases stamina regen.
The gameplay is okay at best, though I think it'll be really fun against another human. The roll feels useless, but I could be wrong, and admittedly probably am. The enemy designs are pretty bland so far, but we've only seen two missions.
I also hate that it's mission based, I would have loved to explore the world.
>>335772518
Which stance did you favor the most?
>>335772576
I main axe too, and I usually go mid if there is more then 2 enemies. If there is only one enemy, then high stance is the way to go. If you are good at recovering your ki you can pratically spam your strong attack and will almost never lose a 1v1.
>>335772576
High for one, or a sneak back attack.
Mid for two+ enemies.
>>335772518
whetstones and glue, are pretty much thrown at you and mitigate your first three lines.
They don't give you many in the first area because you're supposed to be testing out different weapon styles.
I just got the electric dog fucker
R8 my stats. how fucked am I?
>>335772808
The feeling that roll is useless probably stems from your reliance on high stance so much. I can't really blame you for sticking with high on an axe since low is kinda awful but low stance is where all roll/dodge becomes better since the stance is built around evasion. What you could try, if you ever pick it up again, is stance dancing in between high and low for better dodges.
>>335772910
Don't know where you got the feeling that I hated roll, but I think the roll on mid stance is perfectly fine. If i'm going against two enemies, I can always use the first swing attack, ki pulse, then jump back. Low stance is fine, but the damage is a little to low for me. I'm pretty sure i'm close to the boss of the 2nd stage, and i've mainly stuck with the axe the whole time.
>>335768786
This games combat infuriates me.
It's trying to be a souls game while adding in a bullshit mechanic when you run out of stamina.
This so called samurai has the endurance of a 76 year old paraplegic.
>>335769368
Run, they chase, turn around hit then once or twice and repeat.
99.99% of the time you can avoid ganks altogether.
>>335773437
You have to use the instant recovery stuff.
>>335773437
Ki Burst
>>335773050
Will do.
I definitely plan on picking it back up, I want to love this game, even if I have to force myself.
What do you all think the 'mark of the conquerer' will do?
Will it just be a cosmetic?
>>335773607
I'm kind of hoping it's a costume or something that won't become useless after the first hour, either that or a special set of armor that has like a special effect on it like you always get one shot but has a huge buff on it.
>>335770903
Armor actually matters in this game. I went from being one shotted by Nue to strolling through the fight just by putting on lightning resistant gear.
>>335773437
The stamina/ki isn't too bad in combat. It's just really shitty for sprinting, especially when you run out. It shouldn't auto crumple you.
>>335773607
Probably a cosmetic or maybe Yokai William-sama. I'd love for it to be the earth guardian spirit but there'd probably be some bitching then.
>>335773757
>run out of ki, auto crumple
>non grunts run out of ki, can still block and have to be kicked to get into staggered
fucking bulshit
>>335774001
You have to perform an action or get hit after running out for it to crumple you. That applies to the player too.
The problem is that holding down X from sprinting counts, even though you were already holding it down.
>>335773990
I am kind of hoping for something goofy like the Panda costume from Onimusha.
Is it possible to get yokai weapons?
>>335774001
That's not the worst, the worst is youkai that run out of ki and can still attack.
I wasn't expecting that and got killed for it.
>>335768786
I like fire dog. Shark is cool too though.

I'm having trouble when there are 2 or more enemies.
What's a good strategy against multiple enemies? I'm not feeling the High Stance. Running doesn't help since everyone and their grandpa can catch me.
>>335776036
mid stance for all weapons has the side sweeping attacks
>>335776036
Use low stance or mid stance spear for crowd control. Also get a bow and arrow to kill off some enemies from afar. Headshots kill almost every human instantly.
>>335776036
Mid stance spear.
>>335776006
You mean strength+spirit. Or work on your katana parries
>>335775708
What dose guiding Kodamas back to the shrine actually do?
>>335776036
Initiate with a bow headshot whenever you can, but I had a lot of luck darting back a bit and preemptively swinging medium into crowds. As long as you dodge back afterwards, axefags can't punish the swing.
Bombs and and probably flame shuriken are also good against tight groups.

Do the shurikens and fire paper regenerate everytime you visit a shrine?
>>335776246
Increase your Kodama blessing by 5% for a specific blessing. There's an anon or two that believe they may also increase your starting elixir amount if you get all of them.
>>335776246
They add multipliers to certain things, like in Salt and Sanctuary. One gives you extra souls, another a better drop rate for weapons, one for armour and so on. You need one of each type (The different hats), and additional ones of that type add an extra 5%.
>>335776246
Upgrades the % on the blessings they offer.
>>335776246
Kodamas give you a blessing at the shrine. Its stuff like "50% more likely to get armor drops."

>>335777032
the graphics aren't really that great
also gameplay is floaty as fuck as any other Koei game
>>335769902
I died like this a few minutes into the game.
>>335777153
Kinda. In the beginning, its totally fine. But once you get to bosses and harder enemies that are more agile, you're gonna realize that you can't just muscle everything.
>>335777169
It's a hack and slash and not a stealth game.
You can't stealth.
>>335777169
Aim for their heads. Even then, some dudes wear arrow proof hats and you just aggro them.
That's when you bust out your caltrops an shit.
>>335777243
Well fuck. I guess I shouldunequip my level 10 armor and put on level 20+ armor with good defensebefore fighting the dog
>>335777153
Until the first boss, just equip the gear with the highest defense. After that good rare/unique gear starts dropping and you can be more picky with what you wear for bonus stat increases.
You really need the defense early on to not get 2-shot by everything.
>>335776516
That's a very nice quality image. I'm going to steal it, I don't plan to every use it but I like it for preservation reasons.
So if I really love DS3, will I probably like this game? Gonna download it now
>>335777587
Don't go into it expecting to be able to play it exactly like Souls or BB, because you'll get your ass handed to you. Just give it a bit of time and play conservatively until you get a handle on how the game works

>>335777747
Kick him a lot in the first phase to tear through his stamina and make him a combo ragdoll. Slash his horns when he slams balls down for an easy three to four free hits before he swipes in retaliation.
Second phase is easier once you get it down. Dodge the thrown balls to the right, and punish him when he ends a swinging combo with a belly flop.
>>335777287
You fucking have to stealth, every encounter needs to be 1v1 or you're dead.
>>335778194
A purple spear that is probably worse than what you already have.
I fucking did it
I finally beat the Nue
God I loved that fucking boss, fighting him felt so good, especially compared to the first boss, which was just a waiting game.
Also tfw you finally figure out ki burst and wreck all the wandering oni enemies in the second level
I need this game in my life
I need more of it
>>335777747
Most of his attacks give a huge opening, first phase was seriously easy but second phase is pretty bullshit, just don't get greedy, use high stance Axe(heaven & earth & keep rolling on his back.
>>335778325
Thank God I didn't bother, fuck those Oni's, they give me more trouble than Onroyuki, actually beat him on my 3rd try.
jesus fuck what the fuck is the movement in this game
>>335778338
Doesn't Ki burst works the same way as pressing R1 after a combo? What difference does it make?
>>335778437
A lot of people are being tripped up by lock-on not causing them to always face that enemy. Blocking with keep you facing them though/turn you towards them instantly.
Maybe I don't have a problem with it becauseI beat DeS1 without using lock-on because I forgot it existed.
>>335778609
just in general its kind of garbage. clunky? yeah that.
>>335768786
I literally can't get past the first part. The first samurai just one shots me every time. Not even the souls games are this punishing
>>335778536
Ki burst, if is that yeah. Pretty sure anyway. Unless it's the dodge in low stance then it gives your dodge a few i-frames.

Can you just not dodge it? I can't imagine the fight is 1-2 hits then run away when he swings.
>>335779291
I could be wrong, but when I use my Earth Charms on 'em, he gets the debuff a lot faster. I'll try wind as well next time.
Also, another fun fact. Do NOT use the Himorogi branches. They'll take you back to the world map and reset your progress on the level. Learned this the hard way.

Why are people calling this the next evolution of the souls games?
I mean, it might be worth a test run, but when compared to any of the souls games, it seems lacking in almost all departments. It looks more comparable to a new Onimusha, if anything.
>>335779537
>debuff a lot faster.
Which weapon and style were you using? I noticed that low stance spear and kat tends to build up debuffs real fast for obvious reasons.
>>335779627
There's only one patrolling one eyed one.
Getting to that first shortcut in level 2 is a fucking nightmare.
How the fuck do you avoid being swarmed by the samurais? They get me every time and it's getting annoying
>>335779674
Well, I didn't really look too closely at the other ones. I just booked it to the shortcut and haven't been further than the one eyed one since I killed it to see if it respawned and it did.
>>335779627
The are really easy to beat though.
>>335779642
It's better than DaS3 or DaS2. I think BB is the only one that can compete with it, and Nioh is still just an unfinished demo.
>>335779742
Use stones and/or arrows to draw them so you can 1v1 those faggots
>>335779742
Aggro them one at a time. Use rocks or arrows to get their attention. Enter the residence from the partially hidden side entrance. There is another shrine over there anyway.
just beat the Demo, the two bosses were really fun. I may pick this up down the road. trying to help people get threw their levels is a nightmare though, I haven't had one successful co-op session.
>>335779742
Stones, shurikens for pulling, use flame shurikens when they're grouped up, or pick them off with arrow headshots. Armored samurai can't be headshot but the usual outlaw/bandits can.
Spear has moves specifically for positioning. The guard+square one where you throw the enemy behind you has saved my ass many times vs groups.
Ninja stuff is pretty neat. The makabishi are a godsend, slows enemies down even works on bosses. I would totaly roll as a ninja
>>335779674
Axe, low stance.
Any other charm I use doesn't build as fast.
Speaking of debuffs, does anyone know what they all do? Fire provides a DoT and Earth makes it so attacks use a lot more Ki. I'm not sure what Water and Wind do.
>>335780202
Lightning probably slows them down. No idea for water or wind.
>>335780041
I think I will max out fire shuriken and kekkai talismans, get just enough to get all the boost from the guardians, then go full katana beyond that.
>>335780252
>kekkai talismans
Didn't try these what do they do?
>>335780340
Cleanse areas of the underworld also increase ki recovery. They kind of trivialize the stamina drain in Nue's fight.
>>335777906
So how do I set my weapons on fire?
>>335780340
They auto dispell the patches demons leave on the ground when you step into it, and they rapidly regen your ki (It's ridiculously quick) until they run out.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Fire amulet or Fire Talisman from the Omnyo skill tree.
>>335769865
nice textures lol
garbage.

Fuck off man he is actually contributing to the thread.

>>335780745
Ok, I do know I acquired the fire skill last night, but I hadnt figured out yet how I activated a fire Talisman, couldn't find it in my inventory. Then again I was drunk...
>>335781037
You have to set it at the shrine then you just treat it like an item that regens at shrines/death.
>>335781037
You prep them at the shrine.
Hope they balance this right. Game is pretty fun but after beating Nu going back to the first level non-oni enemies pose 0 threat and can be fought 4+ at a time. Bit worried game will become too gear dependent and builds won't be very diverse.
>>335781097
Oh I see. Thanks for the help anon.
>>335781172
Hopefully there is a NG+ mode that scales everything to max level and gives them max level drops.
does buffing any stat increase the damage you do from bare hand parry? the one where you grab a human enemies weapon and thrust it into em?
like strength maybe?
>>335768786
how do i parry? legit question. i know theres the timed block but that just opens them up for a hold triangle grapple stab
Fuck that boat boss. It shouldnt be this hard, his attacks are obvious, but I fucking hate farming for elixirs. At least with Bloodborne, your surplus vials are put into storage.
>>335781450
There is no real parrying
There is a move with katanas that lets you move behind someone if you time a square press right while guarding
>>335781450
Mid or low stance. You probably bought the parry without realizing it.
>>335780978
Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it...
>>335781570
That's what a parry is. Also if you quickly tap the attack button during the parry you will land a riposte too.
You also have to unlock some of the parries in the skills menu to parry.

Okay this went from rosey to actually really fucking cool
Man I am still trying to get through the second level and I've spent a good few hours making what seems to be not an awful lot of ground. I unlocked the shortcut, I'm just slowly chipping away at the huge mobs and surprise boss mobs around the area.
I like that you can sink hours into this game though, I would have like to have completed the demo by now but I think I'll need another day at least, holy fuck this game is awesome and this demo has serious legs.
>>335781570
why lie to the man
with fists equipt holding block and pressing triangle will parry insta kill most human enemies, and you can unlock parries for both katana and spear. a katana parry will do some damage and leave them open and a spear parry takes them to the ground open to a ground attack (triangle while standing over an enemy)
>>335781560
You don't really need more than three elixirs for him honestly
How are you fighting him? Staying close and blocking or dodging in after he has attacked
They better fix the dash shit before release
>>335781746
What dash shit?
>>335781730
Going for a strength build. Dodging his moves even with my build is easy, its just that I keep messing up. I've only managed to face him three times and I've cut his health down in half once, but each of those times I went to face him I had ten elixirs on me. I think I may be underleveled, but I'm not certain. Even going strength, it still takes a long time to get him to the halfway point.
>>335781560
Extra elixirs roll over after death
If you are taking enough damage in the first phase to have to use one just wipe and try again
>>335781874
You sticking solely with axe? Learning how to swap in and out of low or mid would probably help against him immensely.
>>335781874
Breaking his horns stuns him and lets you get in a fuck ton of damage.
>>335781560
Offer all your spare items at a shrine for an easy ten elixirs
Kick a lot in the first phase to eat him alive while he's exhausted, and I had a lot of luck dodging in and out with the low stance in the second phase since it has Ki recovers on dodges.
Levels mean nothing for the most part unless it's keeping you from a gear upgrade.
>>335781874
Try hugging him more and learning to block his sweeping attacks. Dodge into the side he attacks on when he raises his chainball and hit twice then block the counter sweep. Just try staying on his side attacking constantly and blocking those sweep attacks and make sure to use Ki Bursts so you have stamina to block
Also get the ninjutsu for the floor spikes since those lower his stamina a bunch and let you stagger him quicker
For the second phase just learn to dodge the balls and have him throw them across the area. When he goes to pick them up and throw them again attack. Dont attack when he is trying to attack you directly and make sure to Ki Burst those underworld spots so you dont run out stamina at the wrong time
Do you guys think it will be easier to repair stuff in the full game?
I had a lot of fun playing through it, but I had to go farm for some glue after getting my ass kicked by Nue for like an hour. It wasn't too bad, since the boxes seem to occasionally drop repair items. But it would still be faster if we could just buy them from a merchant or better yet, just repair stuff at the shrines.
>Do my axe flip on a zombie fucker
>His shitty grab animation cancels my attack
Jesus fuck, this is shit
>>335782330
Smith or a merchant is a high possibility I think
>>335782330
The loot system is probably the weakest part of the game for me. They need to try and change it. I wish they would do away with durability entirely but they at least need to make repairing weapons and armor easier.
friendly reminder that you can follow up on both the square and triangle parries by pressing square one more time instead of just pushing them and follow up with a normal attack.
pic kinda related, how i feel when i do a parry.
>>335780781
>le bad gramphic maymauy
better than the PC textures ;^)
>>335782483
Yeah but i think that does less damage than manually attacking enemies
Will this game have PvP? Because the combat seems like it would be really fucking cool for PvP since fighting other humanoids is all about reading their stance
>>335776907
>mfw every nioh thread will have at least one YOOOOOOOOOOOO moment
I cant wait
>>335782589
I damn wish it would
PvP is a huge part of Souls, I hope they got that right
>>335782435
Yeah, I know what you mean. It seems like we get overloaded with a bunch of junk weapons and everything feels really disposable. I would prefer if we could just buy or find a nice solid weapon that we could keep upgrading instead of having random loot drops.
With that said, I'm really liking my level 43 lightning katana that I got from Nue.
>>335782330
I have 9 glue/9 whetstone on me at all times. Sometimes I'll use one just to pick up another.
Makes the durability system seem pointless to me.
>>335782575
b-but the style and flare of it all!
I dunno. I do like 1100 or something. and it still fuck their ki so. it allows for a follow up regardless.
>>335782649
I think Diablo system works good, this and solid combat really distinguishes it from Souls where you use one weapon most of the time
>>335782589
They've vaguely said something about interfering with other people's games, which sure sounds like invasions to me.
How do I get good?
I'm using Ki pulse(And absolutely love the mechanic) but lots of encounters wreck my shit and three heals feels pretty low.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
>>335777798
I would say its like a faster, more meticulous Bloodborne.
>>335782791
Offer trash equipment to the shrine. You can get up to 10 elixirs doing that.
Combat, all about knowing when you can strike and when to keep the guard up. Don't think every slice is going to stun the enemy. Pull when possible.
>>335782435
>>335782649
>>335782690
Take into the account that there is a visible thing in the game that we can't do anything about yet, which is familiarity. It says 0/999.
Think of it like this, the more familiar you are with a weapon, the better you are going to be with it. In the game this can mean a few things, but the two i can think of are as follows
1, It increases your strenght more or makes a spesific stat more important to that weapon (say that heart gave a B rating before, now gives A-)
2, it's the thing that allows for more skills to become avaliable, which would mean that it's catering to the weapon TYPE rather than the weapon itself.
Either way i think it works well. Add that to the fact that the weapons and armor you don't need can be offered for free exp and free shit overall, it balances out.
I'm fine if the game caters to the weapon type only. Seeing only revenants with the same armor and weapons would get old quickly.
>>335782791
Use rocks and bows
Mid stance parries are your best friend
>>335782690
I was fine on whetstones, but glue started becoming a problem when I hit the Nue fight, since I would just run to him and ignore most enemies (except those fuckers near the door) every time he would inevitably one shot me.
Yeah, I know I'm shit.
>>335782756
cold be referring to co-op and the aggressive blood stains. I think invasions would be bad for the game.
>>335782690
Name a durability system that isnt pointless
>>335782612

I think they should ditch the Souls formula for PVP. Just have pvp matchmaking arenas for various level ranges. Hell, you can even do match modes like TDM and the like if you want.
>>335782791
Build your skill and stat tree, especially for the main weapon you want to use. Mine is the katana btw.
Also high stance is quite effective for most encounters. Make sure to follow up with your combos with combo finishers too if you have the skill unlocked.
Also after you combo someone you don't have to run away, if you just move the stick slightly you will remain in stance and regain your stamina.
>>335781839
while dashing the character randomly just stops dashing and then goes into dash again. If it's just me experiencing this then my controller must be dying.
>>335782612

Stance swap, know what works for you.
Encounters with mutiple people should be done in mid stance, preferably with a spear.
There is no back stab but hits to the back of enemies deal bonus damage.
Block, its SUPER useful and loads of people seem to forget about it.
Use items and magic, a fire shurikan can be a good opener or finisher and there are talismans that slow enemies right down.
Figure out your own combos and shit with stance switching.
Using the shark spirit lets you see enemies on the minimap, which might help you not get jumped.
