    To further clarify Discord skip to 7:02 or 7:50. You'll see that when a 2nd elemental debuff is applied a 3rd debuff automatically shows up which looks like a ying & yang symbol. That icon is Discord. It occurs from applying any 2 of the 5 main elements (fire, water, wind, lightning, earth). Applying a third elemental while Discord is active will refresh the debuff as well. (i.e. you applied discord with fire & water, adding a lighting debuff will refresh Discord).
    In Nioh, players will traverse war-torn Japan as William, a blonde-haired swordsman whose background as a fierce warrior and seasoned knowledge of the blade allows him to survive in the demon-plagued land of the samurai. Known as Yokai, these demons inhabit a number of dangerous locations and lie in wait in the shadows to ambush unsuspecting victims. Players will also face off with other samurai in supernatural sword battles and intense, multi-target engagements offering a level of difficulty that will truly test even the most hardened samurai’s skills, patience, and strategy.
    Offering a deep and original storyline that takes place during the Warring States Period of Japanese history alongside strategic sword-fighting action, Nioh will challenge players in a way that makes every mission and accomplishment feel earned and worthwhile.

    To further clarify Discord (called Chaos in the English release) skip to 7:02 or 7:50. You'll see that when a 2nd elemental debuff is applied a 3rd debuff automatically shows up which looks like a ying & yang symbol. That icon is Discord. It occurs from applying any 2 of the 5 main elements (fire, water, wind, lightning, earth). Applying a third elemental while Discord is active will refresh the debuff as well. (i.e. you applied discord with fire & water, adding a lighting debuff will refresh Discord).
    This stops Yokai from generating Ki completely and also causes them to take significantly more damage. In the video my basic attacks went from 203 to 305.

      Say if you get Unlimited Elixir 15%, then that means that there's a 15% chance that when you use an Elixir it'll heal you but won't consume the Elixir from your inventory. So it's like a chance at getting a free use out of that item.

    In mission 2 there is a part inside the caverns before the boss with 5 demons and 6 skeletons, if you active the altar in the rock bridge you can farm amrita by killing and reset the enemies in the altar, in about 1 hour you can level up to 20 levels before entering the vampire boss.
    Be sure to use an axe in the upper stand to kill easily the demons, two hits in the head lower their stamina to zero and you can hit them again two times, most of time that kill them

      The game seems really cool.. just way to much to learn and figure out.. not so easily accessible, I work 40+ hour a week.
      I have many games I want to play.. usually never end up playing any due to life shoving its way into my existence.
      I just don't see myself every having the time to learn all this stuff.. a shame, because I feel it would be amazing if you could.. I tried today for 2 hours and just died over and over and the 2nd Executioner.. finally beat him.. and I know he wasn't hard.
      My previous attempt about 6 months ago I couldn't get past that first demon boss on boat.. couldn't even get 1/4 of his health gone. That's cause I suck.
      Dark souls is much more accessible, and the code vein which I'm going to pick up seems far easier in comparison to NIOH

    I tried the demo of this before it was released, and while I thought it was fairly good, it didn't intrigue me enough to pick it up.
    I am SO glad it is a PS+ game, because I am now addicted to it. It's a bit of an odd game though... This is the first game I have played that gives you a tutorial that you play through to... get to the tutorial.
    I also wish things could be explained a little earlier in the game. It was only when I summoned my second or third companion that I realized it was actually a player-controlled character. I thought it was AI, similar to the bloody graves. The first time I summoned someone, he ran through the entire level killing everything before I even had a chance to see it. I only understood what was going on when a later companion took time to wave at me, whistle, etc.

    also, why isn't it, every time I go to a shrine & save my game ... I have to refight enemies I've already beaten???
    thanks in advance!

    • @cloudbloom
      @cloudbloom 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Philly Scorpio elixers are the main source of health aside from a magic item called "rejuvenation" that you can unlock later. the you get 2 rejuvenation items and it will slowly heal you over time. farming elixers is a pain in the ass, I usually equip any armor and accessory that has the highest luck bonus, as well as the green bird guardian spirit that gives you +40 luck if your spirit stat is around 11 or 12. as far as the enemies respawning, that is just like the dark souls games. in those games (demons souls and Bloodborne as well) if you rest at a bonfire the enemies will respawn. I personally like it because it helps you to learn the enemy attack patterns more and you can farm them for items and experience points.

    • @cloudbloom
      @cloudbloom 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Reaching max Familiarity on weapons and then selling them at the shrine increases your chance of getting elixers and higher amounts of Amrita. Eight elixers are the max default. 'Unlimited Elixers' stat on your trinket helps too.
