How do I beat the snake boss?

Getting sneaky are we?

>>712801691 (OP)
>How do I beat the snake boss?
You block.

>>712801691 (OP)
Downloading Nioh 1 right now, the last time I played was when the last DLC was released on PS4. Thanks for reading my blog.

>>712802148
I like Hide's sister

>>712801691 (OP)
Use the fox boss

He filtered millions

>>712801691 (OP)
>destroy the snake statues in the level
>bring Mezuki soul core to quickly kill the snakes
ez

>>712801691 (OP)
Be as aggressive as you can.

>>712801691 (OP)
>block the big tail swing, use mid stance if you are good at switching quickly
>dodge when you see the grab it's very easy to avoid
>always stay close and use the brute burst counter as soon as it does the red attack
>imbue your weapon with lighting
>equip the Mezuki soul core and save your anima so that you can use it to kill the two snakes that spawn, it has a massive radius so you'll nearly always hit it

You're welcome.

>>712801691 (OP)
Hit his arms while they're still attached. Block more. The rushing Burst Attack can only be countered at the start. When in the Dark Realm, do full Ki Pulses on the Yokai Realms the snakes leave behind for Ki regen buffs and more Anima, then kill the snakes. High stance works to kill the snakes off first, low stance to help with dodging attacks and positioning. Spend your Anima to refill your Ki.

>>712801691 (OP)
Ops question aside, I think the nioh 3 alpha was really good. I think there some changes that need to be made but I suspect most people complaining about it just wanted nioh 2.5 instead of team ninja trying something new

Hit it until it dies.

>>712808461
Besides the obvious schizo shitposting, most of the complaints are people ignoring what they want is already in the game and ignoring everything that's been introduced because they're shit at it. Bitching about how Yokai are all summons when it's obvious they've just flipped it round so Spirit Skills fill the old role now as an example. The few things they need to add to maintain parity with Nioh 2 so it can be an actual advancement are just number of equip options and are also quite easy for them to do so, odds are they're already working on them. That's what the survey is for at the end of the day.

Oh and also do drugs

Just beat the flying bitch!

>>712810764
Congrats anon. Now do the needful and beat the Nioh sir

>>712801691 (OP)
when do you get the whistling gesture

>>712810906
Could've sworn you have it unlocked from the beginning. Maybe scroll down in the emote list?

>>712811034
i dont have it im asking because fake chests are just becoming common and the clone of me that pops out wants me to whistle and i cant

>>712811332
You do have it

>>712811332
It s always one of 9 visible gestures bro.

>>712811332
Mujina will only pick an emote out of the 9 you have in the top of your list. While I'm at it, if you spot a fake chest and whistle in front of it, he jumps out instead of pranking you so that you can do the gesture. Or backstab him.

>want to make William in Nioh 2
>can't into the character creator
>stuck here for two days because I can't make William

>>712813709
I assume you already know and want to do it for the gear customization, but I still feel like I have to say, you do realize the game has not one but two William transformations right? Besides that, you can always change your character any time you want as many times as you want so you can start the game and refine it when you feel like it.

>>712811405
>>712811774
>>712811808
guys i swear i dont fucking have it, i looked at all of the gestures i have

>>712813903
Yeah, it's just for gear customization as the transformations don't allow that. If they did allow that, I would 100% just use a default character model and just zoom straight in on that.

>>712801691 (OP)
>not the pre-release demo snake
You'll never actually beat the boss.

Decides to playthrough nioh 2 again with a weapon i never used(splitstaff). Honestly what skills should I consider getting?

>>712810764
I can't believe people have trouble with this boss

>>712814293
Honestly all of them.

>>712814293
Shin Crusher is splitstaff's bread and butter, it deals enormous amount of ki damage. Changing Ways is an insanely safe combo that also jumps over certain attacks. But generally, almost all splitstaff abilities are worth using.

>>712814293
Are you starting from scratch or doing another NG+ round when doing a new playthrough? I can't decide for myself which way is better.

>>712813997
Post a screenshot of your gestures

>>712816178
Not him, but the only reason to ever actually start a new character is if you want a true level 1 playthrough, since even though you can reset your level you can't return the skill points you get from levelling up and Proficiency. Otherwise though you can reset pretty much everything if you want without losing anything for when you want to go back, or you can pick any difficulty you want if you want to replay, with everything being consolidated on the one character to keep progressing.

>>712816479
That makes sense, thanks. I think I enjoy the challenge of putting together a build without access to all the postgame content, having limited skill points and resources like elixirs, and small stuff like collecting Kodama. For me the biggest loss is not having any Interim content because none of it resets on NG+ so I will not see any of the character interactions, talk to my momma again, do everyone's side quest to help them move on etc.
But in the end, Nioh's NG+ content is just too good to pass up on really.

Which mission do I have to clear to unlock Flux 2 in Nioh 1?

>>712801691 (OP)
roll and poke

>>712818179
Please respond, google is giving me nothing

>>712801691 (OP)
Use Block. 90% of giant snek attacks are singular attacks that don't even drain all of your Ki. Same goes for the titty snakes, block everything else but the poison spit, grab or stone eyes.

>>712816178
From scratch

>>712815115
Which skills help me deal damage to health, ive only been spamming shin crusher so far. Everything else just seems take an enormous amount of ki to use

>all these cool moves you can unlock for the weapons in Nioh like parries
>they don't work on Yokai or bosses
:DDDDDD

I hate this fucking monkey cat snake raccoon like you wouldn't believe

>it costs millions of gold and amrita to soul match and defile armor/weapons in nioh 1 at its endgame
fuck that im going back to nioh 2

>>712814103
>You didn't beat it when it was a buggy piece of shit so it doesn't count

>>712821449
You have to block against snakes, this isn't dark souls bro.

>>712820759
High stance attacks, Changing Ways, Dragon Dance, Roar Power are some notable damage options but not all of them. Spend some time in the Dojo testing your attacks out to see their relative damage, it's there for a reason. If you need to save on Ki don't extend your attacks as much, they're also faster and safer. Besides that you have the standard Ki Pulse, Flux and Yokai Skills.

>>712821449
>buggy.
You dodge rolled the swing but hit your face to its moving belly. Also block that move, don't bother dodging it. When the big snek isn't using his snake arms, he never does any followup attacks. Its just big attacks with long recovery times.

>at least 6 months until Nioh 3
Plenty of time to replay 1 and 2 again!

>>712822298
Funnily enough, he would have managed to dodge through it if he had actually done the high stance roll in the right direction. Those kinds of attacks like that and his grab are what rolling is for, as well as guarding if possible.

>pick up nioh 2 again
>play in the evenings and too pumped up to sleep after

>>712801691 (OP)
From what I remember, you target the snake arms first then go for the head, the first 3 bosses of the game are the true filters, if you can beat them you can clear the game

Also reminder that the game is currently on sale at it's lowest price yet and even cheaper on fanatical

>>712820963
>midboss in an early game mission
What were they thinking?

Does Yamagata Masakage drop his armor? I didn't find anything online

>>712802172
I want a Noh wife... WHY I CAN'T SAVE OICHI! We could have easily save her and keep her with us, until the moment we die, so she has a mental breakdown and we learn that she killed herself while we were gone

>>712810764
Cool, I beat her yestersay. Took me like 8 tries.
>>712814863
Paralisis fucked with me since I can't really heal it if I'm paralized, and it always procced all at once. By the end she barely touched me, but it took me a while to learn the pattern. Doesn't help both me and my PC are old and I can't run the game at a stable framerate.

>>712821909
>>712822298
>buggy.
Yes, that's the beta, you can see in the corner
The snake was fucked, its entire body becomes an active hitbox for about 3 seconds on multiple moves including the grab which was unrollable from multiple positions. It is drastically different in the live version

>You have to block!
The depths of Nioh apologism know no bounds

>WEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>712810764
She's a filter for many.

>exactly 2 moves
>both telegraphed
>still manages to kill me
I kneel, sentry-dono

>>712826836
>may I have that hairpin
No, it's mine

>>712820963
>>712824691
I had an easier time with this thing than the very first boss. Am I retarded?

>>712821449
Yeah, slopboxes are a thing, though they are rare. Tracking is far more of an issue, with enemies firing forward facing projectiles behind them, and some going through solid walls.

Replaying Nioh 1 after finally finishing the depths in 2 and I gotta say I kinda enjoy not having yokai powers and not having to burst counter all the time

Learning that you can headshot enemies to instantly deplete their Ki even with melee weapons during certain animations makes the game so much more enjoyable

>>712827481

>>712801691 (OP)
Attack until it dies

>>712828016
I will play the ENTIRE game in mid stance with katana only :)

>>712828273
BASED

>>712825248
The paralysis curing items (both the Ninjutsu and the needles) still work if you're paralyzed.

Any tips on getting onmyo up in nioh 2 so that I can do that dojo missions?

>>712829262
Use your onmyo items

>>712827481
>Replaying Nioh 1 after finally finishing the depths in 2 and I gotta say I kinda enjoy not having yokai powers and not having to burst counter all the time

Exactly. Also has the better collection of bosses with an even balance between yokai and human variants.

>>712827804
That's why I always initiate against enki/yokai brutes with a 1kat running high stance strong which is a great hornbreak

>>712829262
Proficiency is based on both direct damage done and weapon damage done when buffs are active. Divination talismans are the longest lasting buff in the game and are very useful utility besides, bring a bunch of them and keep them active. If you see Umi Bozu blast them with fire.

Just beat the big water boss in 1 (it sucked btw), am I supposes to understand what's happening in the story outside of the other European guy stole my waifu and I'm working with one of the two warring Lords at the time to get it back?

>>712830049
Not really, the nioh games are like the cliff notes version of japanese history so if you don't know any of that everything will be lost on you for the most part

>>712830049
you seem to understand more than most

>>712830049
That's pretty much all you know at that point, you're forging alliances because they're helping you go meet him personally so you can get help in finding Kelley and your spirit wife. The story is not that hard to understand but the background setting is all built directly off of the history of the time period. The boss is fine if you approach him right, by exploring the level you can light the torches and then either leave them lit to kill the smaller enemies that join or use them for free fire weapon buffs. You also can't fall off while attacking unless you hold the stick in a direction.

>>712830049
Just know that Tokugawa is a bitch and he doesn't deserve the good retainers he has

>>712830049
There are four arena bosses in Nioh 1 (Giant Centipede, Umibozu, Giant Skeleton, Orochi). and are the worst bosses in the game. Fortunately, they are the only bosses that don't appear in The Abyss, so once's you've done them in the main campaign you will never have to fight them again.

>>712831739
>>712831019
Okay I wouldn't say Umibozu was terrible but I'm so sick of action games with big bosses where the most effective way to fight them is hit their hand when you slam their fist down.
The centipede was downright terrible though. And as a fan of Souls stuff too I'm totally fine with gimmick bosses and puzzle bosses(I actually think the FromSoft games lost something when they went more action focused as a fan of old King's Field games) but the centipede felt so badly designed since he never stopped moving after you broke his body. I'm guessing 2 has less bosses like this since Nioh focuses more on its action?

>>712801691 (OP)
Seduce her.

>>712832148
You block the centipede's attack to stop it moving. Blocking is just as essential as dodging.

>>712832292
I've been blocking a lot but I didn't even think to do that lole
Thank God I beat it first try :DDDDD

I was well on my way to beating the game, but then I unlocked the Clan features and chose Totoyomi since everyone seemed to use it, and I wanted more exp.
The healing on anima gain seems busted. I guess I won't be beating the game even when I finish it, then.

>>712832550
It stops the centipede dead in its tracks. With it being a large boss, it gives the impression that you can't do that.

>>712832148
You can hit Umibozu right in the face the whole time if you want, plus halfway through he just drops into the middle anyway. As for the Centipede, he's not great but you can just block him to stop him moving. The second region just specifically has environment based bosses to get you thinking more about how to approach them since you've theoretically gotten a hang of the base stance and Ki mechanics in the first region. It's also the shortest region in the game and things get better after it.

nioh 3 finally got me to get off my ass and put together a new pc

>>712820771
Odachi works in 2

>>712827257
>enemies firing forward facing projectiles behind them
that's why you invest in reduced firearm damage, secretly among the best effect in the game

>>712832203
Won’t work unless your Seduction stat is at least +10 and you’re wearing the White Tiger Fur Set for Charisma scaling. Otherwise she just slaps you and takes your spirit guardian. Better off maxing Luck and cheesing it with sake drops.

do you have to balance out your stats? odachi main, wondering if I can just put all my points into strength and call it a day.

>>712810764
Muneshige Tachibana kicked my ass so many times back in the Nioh 1 demo days.

>>712816479
I started a new character after making it to Dream of the Nioh to wonder if I'd actually gotten good or had simply been carried by gear and levels. It turns out that once you understand the games mechanics, a lot of the bosses and enemies aren't as hard as they initially seem. I took odachi/axe and was pummeling enemies to death with all the basic shit you get before you really have good options. No moonlit snow redux, no spin to win, hardly any yokai abilities...and just dominating the bosses. Turns out they're significantly more fair than appearances would suggest.

>>712852706
Generally all the stats have their first soft cap at 10. You want to invest points to meet armor requirements and also in Stamina to keep your Agility at the appropriate tier for your build. Dexterity and Magic for jutsu capacity. Then you can dump into your weapon scaling, unless you feel like you need more HP/Ki.

when (you) go back to replay nioh 2 do you start a fresh save or just do some just in your old ones

>>712852706
Like the other guy said, get all stats to 10 first, as the initial boosts to all of them at that level are pretty noticeable. After that I'd say get strength and stamina to 20 or 30, to increase damage and carrying capacity as Odachi works really well if medium/heavy armor but you never want C agility. From there, I usually put dex and magic to 15-30 for various buffs from ninjutsu or onmyo respectively, 20 heart and constitution, and 15 skill/courage. The first NG you don't have to worry too much about where your stats are allocated, but around Dream of the Demon it starts to matter and at least one of your weapons main stats should be 99.

>>712825503
all I'm seeing from these webms are poor hitboxes, nothing buggy.
