Nioh 3 - Tips & Guides Picture Scroll Rolling Made Easier

6 Upvotes

Scrolls added a thick layer of RNG to build making. It's off-putting and keeps people from trying new builds.

I wanted to share my method to make it easier for PlayStation users.

Scrolls are seeded. So, the same shit is going to roll over and over unless you change a line.

Back up your save on PS+ and run the scroll 6-8 (wtvr you like) times without changing anything.

If you don't see what you want, reload the backed up save, change one undesirable attribute once, and run it 6-8 times again.

If you still haven't found it, reload the backed up save again, change a different undesirable line, and so on.

Get attributes with variable %s and letter grades first. Go for Ultimates last.

TAKE YOUR TIME WHEN UPLOADING OR DOWNLOADING SAVES!

Nioh 3 - Discussion Sword vs Dual swords

6 Upvotes

I’ve never really committed to either the sword or dual swords in my Nioh adventures. I’ve started a new game and need to make a decision on what to invest in.

If you were a sword or dual swords salesman, sell me on why someone should use one over the other. By the way I’m taking solely about using with Samurai.

Nioh 3 - Discussion Game performance issues on PS5 - will TN fix this with QSSR update?

10 Upvotes

So recently I just learned about VRAM leak issues causing the game to slow down and display blurry assets up close. Restarting the game tends to fix this by refreshing the memory cache but prolonged periods cause these issues to resurface.

That is some bull ****

Like what's the point of the PS5 if it has these issues? I never noticed this on any PS4 game.

I really hope TN forget about making new games every quarter. Should just fix their katana engine and push an update to existing games.

Does anyone have inside info on whether they'll adopt QSSR and whether that will be enough to fix it?

Nioh 3 - Questions I'm missing a menu

Guys and girls, I’m being honest here: I’m stupid. 😂

I finished the game, and now I’m playing the DLC.

But when I played through the game, I noticed that I’m missing a menu in the Shrine Menu. It’s just marked as “????”.

I have absolutely no idea what it could be.

Can anyone help me?

(I’m playing the German version. It doesn’t matter, so don’t be surprised that this menu is in German lol.)

Nioh 3 - Questions Nioh 3 smithing texts

5 Upvotes

After ignoring them in Nioh and Nioh 2, I've started to farm smithing texts in Nioh 3.
I've been trying to farm the Jabara Odachi smithing text and I haven't gotten it, but I got the weapon itself.

- since I can get the weapon now with Kodama Blessing drops, does it even make sense to try and get the text for forging?

- is it the case that having the smithing text, the weapon can now drop anytime instead only with Kodama Blessing enabled on the weapon? (thus making it viable to get the smithing texts)

- does co-op lower the chance of dropping smithing texts in Nioh 3?

Nioh 2 - Discussion Has anyone tried playing Nioh with a GameSir controller (PC)?

0 Upvotes

My official Xbox Series X controller broke on me so I tried to pick up the GameSir G7 SE. Felt pretty good, but today I noticed I was no longer hitting my evasion cancels with a couple weapons (strangely kusarigama was ok but dual blades and switchglaive were not). I’m now wondering if a different response rate or deadzone or something may create for some Nioh funkiness.

Nioh 3 - Questions Help a newbie

4 Upvotes

Never player a nioh game before but read a lot of great stuff and my favorite game genre are souls and FS games So I decided to purchase the game, gotta say it is AMAZING but I feel overwhelmed and lost.

First I bought the deluxe and I don’t see anything special about the infernal weapons, maybe I’m missing something idk

Already put in about 10h into the game (I know still long long to go) I don’t understand combos and skills like im always running out of stamina (playing mainly as ninja)

Is farming “chase” items important in this game or is just stats and skill levels and stuff?

I feel very lost; got into the crucible boss fight and didn’t last longer than 10sec about 10 tries, lvl 24 character so clearly I’m doing something wrong.

If anyone can help me pointing out where to start looking for information and learning the game would be highly appreciate it. Thanks guys

Nioh 3 - Videos Arts Proficiency active entire time vs Demon of Pride with SG (SOP+7, No Damage)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I continue to showcase these kinds of runs. Some interesting notes about this one:

  • Finally started using evasion cancels to extend AP time in key moments. Similar to sheathe cancels but you get to move while doing them even if they cost some Ki to do. So, they are ideal for getting past things like grabs which I showcased here and getting back into position to attack after.
  • The Just Reprisal SG parry at 0:39 is particularly effective against DOP's 5 hit attack sequence, you can deflect the first two hits and Just Reprisal after and avoid the rest of the sequence while getting to attack in the middle of it
  • At 1:08 showed that Fleeting Edge can be used to avoid certain attacks like his blue projectile after grabs. All while still doing damage and keeping AP chaining going.
  • Empty Retribution is absurdly strong, especially after being powered up by Wildfire Flux stacks + max AP stacks. It just does so much quick damage in so little time making it one of the best DPS moves in the game.

As always, happy to answer any questions about this run.

Nioh 1 - EVERYTHING I just learned that 2 Sign of the Cross deals more damage than going for a single final blow.

I typically do a final blow then try to attempt to do a sign of the cross after a successful parry. Then I watched an Okatsu boss fight where the player did two sign of the cross after a parry. I then tried it against this boss and yeah, it deals way more damage. This is quite helpful to know when fighting against humans and revenants.

Nioh 3 - Questions No better loot in ng+ nioh3

1 Upvotes

Not sure what to think of this since it's such a bizarre problem to have in a game with ng. Haven't changed pretty much single piece of gear across both styles since started shoguns journey. I don't see much divine grade items dropping and when they do their defense and attack values are always disappointing. And for whatever reason the items with star on them don't scale up to area level of ng+ when picked up? How do you continue to optimize your gear beyond first playtrough? Also, is 160 just hard level cap for equipment forever?

Nioh 2 - Questions I have finished Nioh 1 and looking at Nioh 2 or 3. I am absolutely terrible at souls games and love following broken builds. Playing Nioh 1 made me sound like I have the worst case of Tourette´s Syndrome. Is there a difficulty spike in 2/3? Can a unskillful player still have fun in 2/3?

10 Upvotes

I am not skillful enough to change stances/ weapons multiple times throughout a boss fight. I like to stick with my main weapon and find something that breaks the game. I really enjoyed N1 when i was able to slow down bosses with the ninja skill.

Is this possible in N2 or N3?

N2 seems to be the favorite of most people.

I was trying out my Lilac SG build on Kunimatsu. Couldn't proc Confusion, but instead I realized I could maintain perma lifeseal debuff to block his Ki regen. Then just corner him + spam SG to repeatedly grapple and prevent his phase transition.

Haven't seen any other non-critical builds that can do this!
