Just a quick note on Level Sync; I have found it to be more effective to just do Random Encounters. You are always level synced as a guest, so YOUR drops are always of highest quality. And as a guest there is lower risk because you have at minimum one more person to gank bosses or enemies with and if you do die, you don't have to waste a candle or risk losing your amrita on a suicide run. Just an opinion but I felt it was worth mentioning
Not our loss if the 5 % wants to whine about the co-op side of the game existing. And to be honest, none of those co-op benefits are going to help people in higher difficulties if they don't know what to do with them in the first place. Level Sync kinda isn't worth it.
@@pstanek127 that wasn't at all what I was talking about. This is a PVE game only unlike nioh 1. I get if you patch things so ppl can't cheat using save wizard going around one shotting everything but this change literally was implemented to keep ppl in a game that isn't a live service. We come play put it down, wait for dlc and continue. If players want to back up saves to save time let them. Not everyone has 20+ hours a week to grind out materials
My god the grind is real! I think i gotta tap out at level 400 with my/your Benz build. Love your content so I'll just enjoy Nioh 2 through your videos.
If you don't get the grace you want on an accessory, after you performed the resting rites if you don't press X to accept it you can reboot the game a press receive stone to take back your accessory without having to reload a save.
God, the rng is crazy. I just entered wise and started farming in voice of twilight (great early farming spot btw especially for clay bell which is essential to kill bosses) i actually got yata mirror with owatasumi grace and excellent star effect for that grace and decided to make a build based on that but every time i got ethereal gear or using stone of penance for accessory it always kagutsuchi and ame no uzume. It's like the game know what i need to make a build and decided to screw with me.
I’m finally getting into the grove of Nioh and I’m loving it man. Thanks for your guides, and tips videos. Never was a fan of dark souls combat is so slow, and janky. Which I get is dark souls, but huge fan of Bloodbourne, and Sekiro
The grind just levelled up even higher😥. Love nioh but nowadays i dont have the time to put into it since im doing my masters. Seeing everyone making builds and im being left behind.😭
There’s save scumming for Accessories as well! Before performing resting rites, save your game. If the accessory doesn’t come with the grace you want, quit and take your stone back. Reroll your stats via sudama and then do stone pentance again.
what if we don't wanna reroll the stats? Will taking the stone back and retrying with the same accessory (without Sudama rerolling) change the grace or will the grace remain the same after penance
Yeah been playing way of the wise for about a month now. I am level 450 and still cant beat the bosses in the first region. I dont know how that works, if im 100 levels stronger than a boss and still shooting wet paper wads at him.
My god the grind in Nioh is insane if you wanna have a perfect build, imma be real with you i can't wait till its out on PC so i could cheese it with mods cuz i've been at this since launch and the grind does burn you out quite often.
I know what you mean. I got so burned out I reached out to the PS Nioh community for a build. They referred me to the Nioh discord which a godsend like Cowboy said in this video. Anyway even after I still had to grind for hours, pretty much a full day and had to mess with all kind of stuff to get it perfect. I was burned out once I finished the build. I didn’t touch the game for a few days or a week maybe after. It takes a ton of work.
@@rashonburnett6473 i feel you man and them nerfing and buffing other stuff in patches certainly doesn't help either, i spent time making a poison build with otakemaru but both got nerfed, tengen was nerfed and so did the honda clan i was so pissed all that time wasted for nothing.. I don't understand why they do this in a PVE game it doesn't matter just let us be OP if we put in the time to make a build then we deserve to be OP. I won't go too crazy on making a build right now cuz they said they got important news to share on November 13th and i hope its a PC announcement cuz I can't wait to cheese my way through the crappy RNG Max Drop rate and Max Drop rate quality here i come!
Just a heads up cowboy, stone of penance does NOT stack with Sudama Skull, both give the exact same effect if Sudama Skull is full familiarity and stone is max penitence. So just use one or the other.
Why would team ninja patch save scumming? It is already a grind shitshow to piece a build together with all the forging and inheritable, now they make it even harder and more time consuming and tedious as it ever was, I cannot think of a single nioh player that would be pleased by that change.
exactly it`s not as if they are scum making money our of rng/drop loot like other corporations,...it`s a bit strange. it keeps the end-game community alive, but as i say logging in every day is just to give them active numbers on steam/ps i guess.
I'm not sure how I feel even now about the fact that each new level of difficulty basically restarts the gear/build grind all over again, 'cause your perfect Strong build gets junked as soon as Demon starts, ditto Demon for Wise, and very likely Wise for Nioh...but at the same time, it also basically means that every new difficulty level is an opportunity to play the game fresh again, and if I didn't like to play the game, I wouldn't be screwing around with NG+, let alone NG+3. And while getting rid of save scumming may make things harder in some ways, at the same time, I don't consider downloading and uploading data for hours (or for that matter banging on the crafting buttons) to be the slightest bit enjoyable.
Makes me think that's why there's so many people against PVP. Because "perfect" builds against the enemies, all of a sudden become very "niche", when you have a wide variety of things to specialize in. If you don't balance, you ego can get humbled very quickly.
I know this is completely unrelated to your Baldur’s Gate videos. But just want to say I loved your Baldur’s Gate series. I knew when you killed the Druid chick who had the snake bite that little girl that I had to watch your whole Baldur’s Gate series. I’m almost done two more videos left I think. Also thanks for this video you answered my question about scrolls. I thought they might have worked like that and I don’t want to waste too much hundred night incense.
You can still reload, as it always, on PS4 though you must also save away two different files, the system date AND your character. And then reload your system. If you do not save your system data the materials is gone. So materials etc is on the system data and items on Character data. So save and reload both and your good to go I just did this latest today.
This is the post-game, not all that surprising. It was meant for those who sought to explore deeper into complex RPG looter systems, a lot of people aren't going to jump into it. To be fair, I feel much of it suffers from making players jump through more hoops than necessary to get the builds they want/need. Many looters have failed to nail the concept of a good & rewarding endgame, which is why sometimes I wish people would be more willing to actually discuss it constructively rather than cover their ears and yell "filthy casual" or "elitist scum" from the rooftops like in the many communities I've been part of.
I know they wanna make the game last longer but patching Save Scumming was not the way. This will make people get tired of a build without playing it long enough.
There are a couple of corpses (quickest that's been found is in sun sets on mt tenno, near first shrine) as well as a couple of missions that gave guaranteed ranged weapon drops. I suggest either corpse farming or burning through those missions to get them.
so the devs punish for coop by buffing difficulty to insane and not allowing coop before completing level once and punishing PVE by nerfing singelplayer stuff and buffing bosses hp to annoying levels now they removed save scumming this is a decent game without grind but fans of this is game are complete masochists
@Gigantic Impact n no.. ? please accept that this game has issues i can make a big list right here but idk how to explain what game is asking from player is just too much to each there own i guess.. so yeah
I left for 1 months due to work and was extremely overwhelmed with all the new things/changes. The grind turns me off so hard. I actually had an easier time grinding thru MHW than this game.
Lucky drops accessories, got 2 yasakanis and one of them ethereal from Act 4 refined man of the Underworld, it was using penance though. Regading the penance, this you cant save scum. It becomes set in stone as you explained, need to relase and and redo. Using Lucky Asseccories with my corruption set mate me recieve a total of 5 accories with both melee dmg vs zero ki AND star effect on vs corrupted enemy. Wanted to play Odachi and used Lucky weapon and slotted in a green corrupted Odachi. It didnt take long. The downside of using this is you miss out on other potential etherals if your farming for other items you need to not use Lucky drops. There is also an Orange effect on Scrolls that give Etheral drop A. This increases the Ethereal drop dramatically. I tried it and its a rather massive difference.
I’m pretty sure you don’t need DLC to get to wotw, you just need to beat new game++. So dream of the samurai is the first play through, then it’s dream of the strong, dream of the demon then way of the wise.. then after that it’s dream of Nioh. Just got to way of the wise
I'm kinda done with this game. i'll wait until the last DLC is released, finish the story and that's it. The grind is not worth it! I started the campaing on DOTW just to gain enough levels so i can finish the DLC on DOTD and i was terribly burnt out at the end. Not counting the horrible frame drops on the final boss! It makes that fight more tedious than it is. I don't have the time anymore for this kind of grinds. I usually follow some of your strategies and guides, but i don't want to waste that amount of time trying to make a perfect build that would become a little "useless" once the new DLC drops. Keep up the good work man. I've used a couple of your walkthroughs and they've been a lot of help! Thanks and greetings from Colombia!
Very true, doing 1 level on wise gives you just enough for 1 level, not to mention even a gaki two shots underl-levelled character. Grinding levels to grind for gear which is trash 99.9% of the time is just not fun. Idk how people have so much time to endure this level of grind.
100% right there with you man. Got thru about 2 regions on way of the wise and gave up thru boredom. The missions needs to be changed up to keep it interesting. Can’t push myself to beat all the missions again, only to wait for way of nioh to just do it all again lmao. I’m done.
Level 302 and just started way of the wise, Let me tell you this you can be 70+ levels below but if you have a descent build with the fist and you can manage that 10 stacks buff from passively chaining fist skills then you’re solid
I agree. I breezed through dream of the strong pre-nerf getting by with the tengen spirit and Honda clan attack buff so didn't care about a build. Now trying dream of the demon I'm just overwhelmed with the grind. Everything is destroying me.
Have truly come to enjoy your channel dude! Subscribed. This game is so good, and has so much depth, so it is indeed nice to find some good channels that have good content for this wonderful game
Is just too much work to do homework for a game, I dropped the game and decided to buy the season pass NOW cause I wanted to wait for all the dlc first
I was enjoying Demon but now in Wise it feels like I've just hit a brick wall. Demon was a pretty massive jump up in difficulty, but even so with all Divine Gear +18-20 and two sets on, full Versatility stacks, Otakemaru was taking a long time to die, even with Confusion and whatnot. But then I started Wise and holy shit. The enemies HP is astronomical. Right now I'm hardly ever finding Ethereal so I'm stuck in Wise still using Divine gear with Benzaitens and Warrior of the East. I'm honestly not sure what to do, I feel like progression will be incredibly slow at this point. Idk if I'll make it through Wise, and it's insane that people talk about just "rushing through all the difficulties to get to Dream of the Nioh" lol. This shit is taking for EVER.
So I am level 300. I am on way of the wise. Because I'm still rocking my ninja gear pre dlc content I am pretty weak. Im trying to find the best strategy here. I still want to rock. Ninja gear as I saw some new graces that help; but I cannot get any where on wise with my current setup. So should I just finish up wotd until I'm at a appropriate level or should I party up.with high levels and have them pretty much carry me. My goal is to get to at least 400 if not close enough to where I can without being carried
Benz is more than okay for demon and for wise. I used his benz build entirely through wise and for farming bc my luck was crappy is wise for the most part.
I found an Ultimate Energy+Ultimate heart scroll if anyone is interested, I have no idea how to do co-op Scroll missions but I’ll gladly share the scroll
For “energy” I meant “stamina”, sorry for the bad translation. Ultimate stamina grants AA in both agility and toughness. Ultimate heart instead grants you extra Ki when switching guards during a Ki pulse
Small update, you can inherit a grace onto non-set ethereal gear. I found an ethereal dual sword with a star effect I liked (the purity ones) but not Susano; I was able to inherit it on there. A good use for sudamas is to reroll ethereal gear you don't want til you get the grace inheritance attribute along with the grace you want.
I still do not understand how mystic dyad works. I have never seen an ethereal weapon with grace inheritance. I have a lot of mystic dyad tonfas sitting around with no way of getting a second grace on them.
Do nioh 2 armor perks/ stack? Example: lets say I have 1x 50 dual blade damage on each piece of armor. Do now get 5x 50 dmg dual blade damage or only once?
why I cant change some graces with grace inheritance? for example i cant change The honour in harmony into Susano etc? thank you! its driving me nuts lol
@@joshuaspeyside6974 "I'm too lazy to put in the effort for the gear I want so its poor development" the game literally gives you ways to farm for the gear that you want....
The nerfs always lead to more exploits and the game breaks and gets nerfed and then another exploit is discovered that is the true way of the Nioh, no matter what the devs have appeared to do there is either a new mechanic either put in on purpose or over looked that can make you OP again.
Hey @fightingcowboy , I'm returning to you for your wisdom once more. On Nioh 2 I've beaten the darkness in the capital dlc and am curious if we can get all sword techniques from Raikou. I got one of them where it slashes around you in a AoE as you sheath your single blade so I'm just curious about her other single sword moves.
@@FightinCowboy 5 or 6? Huh.. i got the kizuna drop and the two ninjutsu scrolls from him. Hayabusa i don't mind farming, he's a load of fun to fight! Would it be too much to ask what other skills we can get from him besides the ones i listed? I really only see him do his jumping dash slash and not much of anything else besides kunai spam. 🤔
What about farming for Ethereal Ranged Weapons? I've been farming for days getting my set together and have yet to get a single Ethereal Ranged Weapon I need. As it is I've only gotten approximately 27 Ethereal Ranged Weapons with 92 luck Ethereal drop rate A- 29.6% equipment drop rate and stone of pennance +8
Hey FCB or anyone in general. I have two options at my disposal here as i have gotten pretty lucky. I can either use gloves with the star effects life drain active skill and grapple damage or life drain active skill and final blow damage. Both give 20% damage boost i just dont know which to pick. Which do i choose?
I have to ask, all the old build videos are all still viable correct? I haven't played since right before the first dlc so I haven't kept up with what’s changed. Thanks Cowboy.
Just a quick note on Level Sync; I have found it to be more effective to just do Random Encounters. You are always level synced as a guest, so YOUR drops are always of highest quality.

Saving to re-roll was not hurting anyone. I'm so tired of the devs nerfing/patching shit that is fun or benefits the player IN A PVE GAME
Agreed! Nioh is a fantastic game but the grind is just way too crazy now.

Just got to wise. Hard ass shit. Love it. Cowboy bless you and your family.
I was enjoying Demon but now in Wise it feels like I've just hit a brick wall. Demon was a pretty massive jump up in difficulty, but even so with all Divine Gear +18-20 and two sets on, full Versatility stacks, Otakemaru was taking a long time to die, even with Confusion and whatnot.
But then I started Wise and holy shit. The enemies HP is astronomical. Right now I'm hardly ever finding Ethereal so I'm stuck in Wise still using Divine gear with Benzaitens and Warrior of the East. I'm honestly not sure what to do, I feel like progression will be incredibly slow at this point. Idk if I'll make it through Wise, and it's insane that people talk about just "rushing through all the difficulties to get to Dream of the Nioh" lol. This shit is taking for EVER.
Thank you for the amazing tips:) just started Dotw and I was wondering if there is any new game mechanic on harder difficulty?
Do we get ethereal gear once we beat demon?
Yessir
Do red graves drop ethereal?
So I am level 300. I am on way of the wise. Because I'm still rocking my ninja gear pre dlc content I am pretty weak. Im trying to find the best strategy here. I still want to rock. Ninja gear as I saw some new graces that help; but I cannot get any where on wise with my current setup. So should I just finish up wotd until I'm at a appropriate level or should I party up.with high levels and have them pretty much carry me. My goal is to get to at least 400 if not close enough to where I can without being carried
The big kodama method doesnt work either. And apparently neither does lucky drop accessories.
Do u have a Kusa build for wotw? I don't have DLC2 yet but I'm making a kusa character, ur videos are more helpful than other Nioh players :P
😓 imma wait till the final dlc to start building builds no point right now
I haven’t played since before the first dlc came out would you still recommend your benz build for making it through dream of the demon?
Benz still shreds demon, did it a few weeks ago while I was catching up.
Benz is more than okay for demon and for wise. I used his benz build entirely through wise and for farming bc my luck was crappy is wise for the most part.
I found an Ultimate Energy+Ultimate heart scroll if anyone is interested, I have no idea how to do co-op Scroll missions but I’ll gladly share the scroll
Custom mission host and leave 2 slots open, people will join regular and help you
Ultimate energy?
@@S6Ryujin he probably means ultimate constitution, where u heal auto above 75% hp
For “energy” I meant “stamina”, sorry for the bad translation. Ultimate stamina grants AA in both agility and toughness. Ultimate heart instead grants you extra Ki when switching guards during a Ki pulse
How do you get the lucky drop perk onto your gear? Is it just a rare chance to come up when you temper something?
I just wanna know if your going to make a ryu ninja build!?
This is end end END game Nioh 😂😅
hello very good play
where can i find ethereal 190 weapons and armor ?
what exactly do I have to do to find ethereals 190 + 30 weapons?
I’m just trying to get my first set tsukuyomi together. I got like 4 pieces so far
Yo fightincowboy! How did you get this transformbonus courage on your weapon?
are there any weapons with Grace of the Tsukyomi? i never seen one yet..
Were do you get dat orange or golden gear
Hey I don't know if it was pure luck, but the Yasha enemies dropped Hundred Night Incense for me. Maybe farmable?
466 + millions amrita dude 😂 I I would be so stressed playing with such a high number!
Do these methods still work in 2021. Not sure if it was patched for the PC version or not
Are these methods still usable for DLC3/DOTN or are there better/faster ways to make builds now?
it is coming to PC.... I think if you back up your save it will be possible to just copy paste and still have a chance :P
Where best to farm scroll of wise sir?
Save scuming scrolls doesn't seem to work anymore maybe that's patched out also
How play fists???
Dlc 2
It was a joke...Cowboy said people were asking in the nioh 2 discord and I loled
is ps+ cloud re-load saving affected for any of these methods?
Small update, you can inherit a grace onto non-set ethereal gear. I found an ethereal dual sword with a star effect I liked (the purity ones) but not Susano; I was able to inherit it on there. A good use for sudamas is to reroll ethereal gear you don't want til you get the grace inheritance attribute along with the grace you want.
Yes, grace to grace or non-grace gear without a set bonus 9:50
@@FightinCowboy lol, my bad, all I needed to do was keep watching.
How come there's people upload a video with orange gear but i had never see it in the game...? do you have you play until ng +++?
Nice
I still do not understand how mystic dyad works. I have never seen an ethereal weapon with grace inheritance. I have a lot of mystic dyad tonfas sitting around with no way of getting a second grace on them.
Do nioh 2 armor perks/ stack? Example: lets say I have 1x 50 dual blade damage on each piece of armor. Do now get 5x 50 dmg dual blade damage or only once?
Stack
@@FightinCowboy So if i use a trainer or cheat table to bypass the god awfal rgn to get the armor perk they all stack? Example 5x + ATTACK?
why I cant change some graces with grace inheritance? for example i cant change The honour in harmony into Susano etc? thank you! its driving me nuts lol
Grind is too much in this game now not worth the effort
another good game ruined by poor development
@@joshuaspeyside6974 "I'm too lazy to put in the effort for the gear I want so its poor development"
the game literally gives you ways to farm for the gear that you want....
@@joshuaspeyside6974 the depth of nioh is huge it's excellent development
The nerfs always lead to more exploits and the game breaks and gets nerfed and then another exploit is discovered that is the true way of the Nioh, no matter what the devs have appeared to do there is either a new mechanic either put in on purpose or over looked that can make you OP again.
Hey @fightingcowboy , I'm returning to you for your wisdom once more. On Nioh 2 I've beaten the darkness in the capital dlc and am curious if we can get all sword techniques from Raikou. I got one of them where it slashes around you in a AoE as you sheath your single blade so I'm just curious about her other single sword moves.
She has a couple, haven't farmed em myself but i know she has 3 or so.
@@FightinCowboy do bosses drop more than 1 skill usually? Of course depending on the boss itself.
All depends on luck, I took probably 20 kills to get all of hayabusa's skills and he has like 5 or 6 different things between texts and skills.
@@FightinCowboy 5 or 6? Huh.. i got the kizuna drop and the two ninjutsu scrolls from him. Hayabusa i don't mind farming, he's a load of fun to fight! Would it be too much to ask what other skills we can get from him besides the ones i listed? I really only see him do his jumping dash slash and not much of anything else besides kunai spam. 🤔
He has 3 ninjutsu skills I believe (blades, fireball, ki bullet), izuna drop, claw move, and then smithing text for armor, blade, and claws.
So do the graces not show up until way of the demon? I’m still finishing up way of the strong.
Regular graces demon, ethereal graces wise
Hey Cowboy.....WHY did they patch save scumming? The purpose?
What about farming for Ethereal Ranged Weapons? I've been farming for days getting my set together and have yet to get a single Ethereal Ranged Weapon I need. As it is I've only gotten approximately 27 Ethereal Ranged Weapons with 92 luck Ethereal drop rate A- 29.6% equipment drop rate and stone of pennance +8
Hey FCB or anyone in general. I have two options at my disposal here as i have gotten pretty lucky. I can either use gloves with the star effects life drain active skill and grapple damage or life drain active skill and final blow damage. Both give 20% damage boost i just dont know which to pick. Which do i choose?
Grapple helps on yokai bosses so I'd do that
I haven't gotten WotW yet, but is it also how you level your stats past 99?
Yes
I have to ask, all the old build videos are all still viable correct? I haven't played since right before the first dlc so I haven't kept up with what’s changed. Thanks Cowboy.
Viable for their intended difficulties. If you try and bring something like Obsidian Samurai into Dream of the Wise you're gonna get destroyed.
@@FightinCowboy I started DotD with the dual sword build got my pp slapped in third region xd
Is there any easy way to defeat lvl501 hayabusa? He moves around sooo much and his combos are sometime insane. Really want to beat him at any cost.
Build I uploaded beats his ass
Is the grace / rarity inheritance thing patched (fixed) ?
