*Update to include Remodeling.* Remodeling only works with +1 or higher weapons. You won't see these until near the end of the story, but it lets you modify the scaling of a weapon within it's 3 primary stats. For example, Kusarigama is D+ Strength, C+ Skill and B+ Dexterity. If I were to Remodel it I could change it to A- Dex & Skill, but Strength would drop to D-. Alternatively if I didn't want to focus Dex but liked Kusarigama I could boost the other two, making it B Strength and A- Skill while Dex would drop to D+ scaling. This allows you more flexibility in your stat builds and makes your weapons more closely aligned with your build to squeeze out more damage.
Alright question I've found a way to put attack plus on my weapon so I've decided to keep using the same weapon I have 6 stats on it and wanna keep using it cause it's really good with my build well it's level 85 and I have a level 90 weapon. They are both purple but it doesn't let me do it same thing if I take a level 90 soul core and attempt soul match it doesn't let me do it any thoughts?
Nvm just figured it out so in nioh 2 you can only take a weapon so high for example if it started at level 50 it can't go over a certain level it has a range to it

@@normandy2501 You can farm the material that you need to make them at the blacksmith. I usually farm for glory so I can go to the tea house and buy the mats then make it in the blacksmith. If you wanna know to do that just go to Forge > Tools. All that stuff is normally at New Game+.
I do appreciate your talent for crawling inside these games, taking their systems apart, and then explaining them to the rest of us. Very helpful info, thank you!
I'm a huge fan of this game and for the longest time I thought I knew even the basics but after watching so many of your vids I have realized I still had a lot of learning to do. I was playing the game before with soooo many disadvantages but now I really feel like your tutorials have helped me maximize all the areas needed for doing well in this game and allowing me to min max well. Thanks for so many awesome builds and tutorials. I still love this game but I have to show my appreciation. Keep up the hard work!
Thank you so much for this guide! I didn't have a clue as to how any of the Blacksmith stuff worked so it's great to have it all laid out like this plainly.
Dude - just played Wo Long, enjoyed it, but all it did was make me wanna play Nioh again! :) So I started from scratch and when I went to the blacksmith my brain just turned to fog ☁. This video is super helpful; I stopped and basically freeze framed it as you were forging materials and re-rolling gear to make sure I fully understood what was happening, and now it *all* makes perfect sense! A big thank you, and big love, dude. 👊
Thanks for doing this man 🙏🙏. Seriously, I never took the time to fully understand the blacksmith from the first game, but you simplified it for me really well 👍.
The simple tweaks they have done for this sequal make it so much more enjoyable. I am using brute for the counter and have a tough time hitting it as well. Just adding that has made the combat a lot funner.
Thanks braff. I completed the first nioh, now picked up nioh 2 and I completely forgot you need to max out familiarity to inherit trades. Thanks for the reminder
When I first saw gameplay of Nioh 2, I was rather daunted by the gear. The idea of having to farm and roll on random items drops for gear was not something that appealed to me (too much like endgame Monster Hunter decoration farming, ugh). However, after seeing the way the Blacksmith works in this guide, I will definitely be picking this game up because being able to craft and customize whole armor sets without having to pray for lucky RNG drops from enemies is infinitely more engaging, in my opinion.
I figured there would be some newer comments in here since the remaster. I'm going back through the gane again. You helped me then and you are helping me now. Thanks Fighting Cowboy
@eddy_is_a_squid potatoe I have no idea. But I'll tell you this ,(off topic), I was having trouble with an late game area. I went on the nioh sub and asked for help. Whoever this person was blew my God damn mind with how good they were. It BLEW my mind with the way they melted enemies that would've taken me minutes to defeat. So, in short, I cannot stress enough how awesome that player was.
damn, thanks for explaining everything good and easily,i never used forging on Nioh 1 when i played it on my ps4 years ago,now i picked up both games up on steam and this tutorial will make me not be so much of a scrub
If you soul match your weapon with a soul core of the desired level it works too and is alot cheaper. It costs around 2k when normal soul matching with another weapon would cost me 98k. Seems to only work on your melee weapons though, cant choose soul core as material for soul matching a bow as example. (Haven't tried armor yet)
Nevermind I had to comeback to figure this out again, I dont have any materials by just playing so I need to break things down rather than offer it all at the shrines.
Ain't lying about the "beefy boy build" lol I played nioh 1 when it was free for ps plus and figured nioh 2 would be free at some point, now that it is I've been grinding and I'm glad mostly everything is the same as it was in nioh 1 had to get someone else is word on this topic tho 💯
Also could you do a quick Soul Core guide, I'm still a bit puzzled how the soul core leveling works and what it actually does to the abilities. Also a quick run down over the various or recommend cores would be great, a bit hard to experiment with...
I wonder why some ranges of bonuses (locked, or otherwise) are so low? Even compared to Nioh 1? Amrita earned +0.8% is a joke. Even in the skill tree, there are skills that increase damage by 3%... 3%!!! I feel like a lot of stuff in Nioh 2 has been nerfed to inflate difficulty.
Fun fact. You dont have to finish the mission. I got to the boss and ran out of time so i branched out of the mission b4 i complete it and it unlocked smith. I think perhaps u just have to speak to her in the cave.
nioh and now nioh2 i never looked this up, i'm already lvl 102 in Nioh 2 (towards the end of end i'm not sure) and have just now learned this. it all seemed bizarre to me and i'm not sure where they have the info on this in game. Good to know, will be doing this heavy on my 2nd play through.
@@Jaychilled sword and odachi are very complementary, with dual blades also scaling decently with heart and strength. Tonfa pairs well with axe builds due to axes scaling well with courage and the switchglaive is more tailored towards magic builds so its a bit harder to pair it with something. Something to keep in mind though you don't need to focus super hard into 1/2 stats pre-ng+. At that point you don't really have enough levels to make a huge difference so id say focus more on meeting requirements for armor and dump points into magic/dex depending on how much magic/ninjitsu you want to use.
Wow I’m going to have to play around with this stuff on my own more before I can even come to this guide. You go so fast I am lost by minute 4, lol. But that’s fine, I probably won’t do too much damage to my inventory on my own. Ha.
yo just found out if u didn't know. u can soul match a soul cores stats onto a weapon with corruption and that's kinda big seeing as I found some souls with the gold skill transfer on them
I just tried the forging option for the first time. But what is the function of it when the best you can make is a 160+1 divine weapon/armor piece? Doesn't seem that useful.
Great stuff cowboy, any general advice on when to sell vs when to disassemble, in Nioh 1 I always disassembled everything but this time I find myself short on money, despite not soul matching. Thoughts?
Hoard money, hoard as many gourd accessories you can get and don't lose them until you unlock hidden tea house. Once you get that, join Toyotomi and donate all of them for 45000 gold each! Once you have tons of money you can literally buy materials or items enmass and such.
TY for the info Cowboy. Great video. I find the tempering option useful but for whatever reason when i try soul matching (in any category) the finished product always has lower stats than what i started with? So i skip it.
I'm sure you understand now but I'll say it anyway I'm assuming you're trying to soul match a weapon you've been using and would like to keep? So its gonna have maxed familiarity. When you soul match your weapon your familiarity goes back down to zero, which temporarily drops your attack. But when you get that familiarity back up, then your attack will go above and beyond what it was originally.
Quick question: Im looking to imbue a katana with lightening, i have shock accumulation on it already, can you roll imbuement on any weapon or do only certain weapons get the imbuement (like rairiki in nioh 1) or is it just random chance to save up for and when you get lucky you get lucky?? Love the videos and the guides many thanks in advance!!
5:08 why cant i transfer my weapon skills like damage bonus familiarity to my other weapon , i raised the familiarity to max and i still cant, it only alows crap skills like block
Do the bonuses stack? AKA...if you have faster winded recovery on both the shirt and the pants does your character revover twice as fast as if you had that bonus on just the pants OR the shirt?
heres my question about soul match. what's the point? ok, it increases the level of the base item, but it doesnt change any of the stats on the right. soooo.... ??
Looks like the soul matching gold increase is to make you use the forging for your gear. I kinda like this change over Nioh 1 as end game was basically just farming gold and materials to soul match your gear and reroll your skills. Huge change is being able to see what skills you can reroll. That with umbracite easier to get it will make end game less time consuming and grindy.
You could already see what skills you could reroll in Nioh 1. You just had to select the tempering option when reforging. Now they've removed reforging and made tempering the main attraction, but it was always available.
I know I’m a bit late but, when you soul match are the attributes on the weapon you’re soul matching supposed to go down? When you showed the example the weapon had +8 imbue corruption, but after adding the material to soul match, although the damage went higher, the imbue corruption attribute was reduced to +6, is that normal for soul matching? Or am I doing it wrong? Or is that when tempering comes into play? Like when you soul match would it be better to then temper for the skills you want?
Is there any information about the pool of Active Skill damage bonuses that can be tempered on light gloves? Can't roll Night Rain Damage on gloves for some reason.
Hey do you need multiple text for some srmor sets? Cause I got an text once and only 3 out of the 5 armor peices were available for crafting and Im super frusterated after doing all this damn grinding
I still cant figure out how you get 7 effects on a divine weapon, like the ones I see in your videos, I keep forging a divine sword, and I can only ever get it to 6 traits, and one of those is including the actual set trait.
There seems to be a cap on hoe many times you can soul match right now. I cant get my seething dragon past level 77 and ive soul matched so many times.

Your video on the charge blade helped me in MHW. Now you've helped me in Nioh 2. Cheers Cowboy, thanks for looking out for the rest of us
Remodel was a great addition for people like me, who like using different weapons without having to redo stats or overall build.
Thanks braff. I completed the first nioh, now picked up nioh 2 and I completely forgot you need to max out familiarity to inherit trades. Thanks for the reminder
These tip videos really help. I played through all of nioh one and ignored almost all of this stuff

Can I just hire you to come home n do all this stuff for me? I hate when games get complicated. Takes a mental toll
Yokai weapons can be soulmatched using soulcores and its cheaper.
Yes, but ONLY corrupted weapons, nothing else. Also keep in mind almost every boss in the game resists corruption.

Hey. I have the Blacksmith unlocked but I have NOT completed the second Main Mission Beast Born of Smoke and Flames. What gives?
Remodel is cool, it changes the stat bonuses..just noticed lol.

Thats because you need to get your familiarity back up.

Croftzilla You can Imbue Lightning through Tempering on anything. I’ve done this with multiples types of Tonfa and Kusa

Because it probably conflicts with another stat on your weapon already
FightinCowboy what stats may conflict with this?
You can have 1 damage boost. Change to Attack, Familiarity, Meele Damage, etc
Do the bonuses stack? AKA...if you have faster winded recovery on both the shirt and the pants does your character revover twice as fast as if you had that bonus on just the pants OR the shirt?
Those won't stack, but a lot of stuff will
Can untouched ninjutsu roll on any piece of armor or only the chest piece?
Can i craft gear i have. Or do i need a smithing text in order to craft regardless of me having the actual piece of gear
heres my question about soul match. what's the point? ok, it increases the level of the base item, but it doesnt change any of the stats on the right. soooo.... ??

Is there any information about the pool of Active Skill damage bonuses that can be tempered on light gloves? Can't roll Night Rain Damage on gloves for some reason.
Because night rain exists as a set bonus. Set bonuses can't be found as an inheritable, otherwise use the filter option to look through a full list.
