Movie mode does the opposite: image quality over frame rate. Action Mode focuses on performance and locks the framerate at 60fps at the cost of image quality. Not many of us want to get PS4 Pros, so it’s kind of Tecmo Koei to offer three modes of play that sort out the game’s frame rate in the option menu (before you start the game). At this point in the game, it’s good to have one more alternate option in case the Feral playstyle isn’t your thing. The bird is a Feral spirit, so it’s redundant. See, the first boss you defeat will reward you with a monkey Feral Yokai spirit (see above). You can use Agyo and Ungyo prestige points to bolster your states At The Start Of The Game, Pick Either The Wolf Or The Fish Guardian SpiritĪvoid the bird, because you’ll want to diversify your Yokai transformations. When you’re deep in the game and completing objectives, do check what you’ve accomplished in the internal achievement menu. You do not want to drop that when you die somewhere just because you needed “one more run”. Just make sure not to get too overconfident and find a shrine quick so you can purify that sucker. Soul Cores are game-changers you can imbue hard-hitting abilities after getting these from bosses or Dark Realm drops. When You Get A Soul Core, Run Back To The Nearest Shrine Don’t forget: Burst counters use up Amrita energy, so don’t spam them unnecessarily. Just think of this as another form of a Soulsborne parry/counter or that one Sekiro move where you step on a dude’s spear thrust and counter appropriately. It’ll take a couple of deaths to nail it, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll have a great time punishing bosses. When an enemy does an attack that telegraphs a red flash, that’s your cue to perform a Yokai Burst. What’s better than transforming into a powerful Yokai via shiftlink? Burst countering an enemy’s powerful attack using your current Yokai power. Yes, you need to master the basic Ki pulse technique, but at least you have an alternate option. This skill lets you trigger Ki Pulse automatically when you do a perfect dodge. Having said that, save a few points to get the Running Water skill for all three stances when you start off. Nioh 2’s skill tree lets you be who you want to be: either a sword-slinging samurai or a magic caster who can attack from afar. So you’ll need to put more points in your courage and heart when you level up. Ki regeneration is pretty important in Nioh 2 it makes you be more on the offensive since attacks use up Ki. But be warned miss one of these attacks, and you leave yourself open to the sharp end of your enemies’ blade ![]() High stance: Slamming your weapon down from above, the high stance allows for crushing attacks which are useful for chipping away at the Ki of your opponents.A great all-rounder and good stance to start most skirmishes ![]() ![]() Mid stance: Swinging towards the body of your enemy allows for medium power attacks.Low stance: Holding your blade downwards allows for quicker attacks, this is useful for taking on crawling and slithering yokai.Nioh 2 features stances which you can switch between during combat. We cannot stress how important conserving your ki is, much like how one conserves stamina in Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Which is why you need to start pressing R1 after each swing or two from your weapon. ![]() When you attack, you will drain ki faster than a yokai sex worker. We’re here to help after all, we did learn a lot by dying multiple times and spending a healthy amount of time exploring this twisted version of Feudal Japan. What needs to be said repeatedly is that Nioh 2 is packed with both old and new mechanics that you need to get familiar with if you want to get past the first 3 or so hours. That is expected, considering that this game was made by the same folks who digitally murdered us with the rebooted Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden 2 the less said about the third one, the better. It’s pretty fun so far, but it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. We’ve been playing Nioh 2 for quite a bit.
