Nioh 2 - Don't Worry About it Until New Game+

Master the lethal arts of the samurai as a mysterious half-human, half-supernatural Yokai warrior, in this challenging action RPG sequel.
Explore violent Sengoku-era Japan and the deadly Dark Realm, both plagued with grotesque, merciless demons.

Unsheathe your deadly weapons and cut down all enemies in your path using a revamped combat system and the ability to transform into a full Yokai to unleash devastating paranormal powers.

Sharpen your skills
Prepare for the fight of your life with revamped mechanics that build on the fan-favorite elements of Nioh, requiring your full concentration and skill.

Choose your method of combat
Follow the way of the samurai with traditional weapons including swords and hatchets, or fill your Amrita gauge to wield mighty Yokai abilities and destroy monstrous foes via a variety of mighty attacks.

Improve your weapons with the Yokai Shift
Filling your Amrita gauge doesn’t just give you access to a powerful Yokai form, but also allows you to increase the stats of various weapons and add extra buffs, such as staggering foes and grappling downed enemies.

Help – and get help – from other players
Call upon the spectres left behind by other Nioh 2 players to aid you in combat. Their spirits will assist you until the end of the current level… or until they’re defeated.

Nioh 2 is the gift that keeps on giving. It feels like it never ends. Game of the year for me

[Ryan-dwts]

This game is seriously insane. The amount of attention to detail and care that was clearly put into this blows my mind. It's basically everything I have ever wanted. To think at one point I was on the fence about getting it...how naive I was.

[marindonchev]

Actually in my opinion - the first playthrough is the hardest, afterwards you start the builds and get way stronger - in first playthrough you learn the mechanics - you kill almost each enemy on the way to ease the path forward, and after that on NG+ there are a lot of missions where you just skip all trash and run to the final boss.

[Bulletproof_Trump]

Videos like this that remind me why I've stayed subscribed to you for years, brah. Your way of laying everything out in a concise and easy-to-understand manner is equaled by none in the tutorial/walk-thru sector of youtube. Thank you so much for this

[blaireofhylia]

Everything up to the final boss is basically teaching you to play.
Me: hasn't cleared the first area for 3 days, did not know there was a map.

Man, the customization freedom of this game is one of my favorite thing. They really wanted you to constantly switch it up and be able to do so easily. Only just started getting deep in the game. Not sure how sales were but I hope this series keeps going cause it's really fucking awesome!

[pinkhairvulcanus]

Question: if I ever beat this game and go to NG+, can I go back to my previous gameplay but with much more better gear?
I really want to beat the bosses who gave me a very hard time.
Its kinda personal now.

[jedwalker]

I both love and hate how in depth this game is. There's just so many details that you have to take in, even after playing the first Nioh.

[mochaandchill]

I hate to admit it, but, I needed to hear this. I was in such a rush to catch up with my friends, that and I missed out on so much more, like a proper Idea of my build. Thanks @FightingCowboy Much Appreciated !!

[VTown]

There is a lot of mechanics going on in this game that people can miss. I was 3/4 through my first (pre-NG+) playthrough before I learned those "Active Skill" perks have to manually be applied to a specific skill. Before I realized that, I was always confused what those perks that said "certain active skills" meant.

3 years ago I watched your video and put the game down after absolutely struggling to get to even Chapter 4. Saying that the first playthrough was basically a tutorial demoralized me and I just couldn't keep going.

Now, after beating Demon Souls, Sekiro and Elden Ring, I decided to give the game another try. I didn't realize how much I learned from my mistakes during my first playthrough until I started completely breezing through the levels, often barely even dying. Now I am looking forward to NG+ and all the possiiblities it opens.

I stumbled on your video again by chance, and it unlocked the memory which prompted me to write this comment. I also want to say thank you for your content and I'm glad to be back!

[KayoLao]

"the base game is essentially the tutorial"
Me dying constantly during the "tutorial": 😐

[noodlesOwO]

Just got into this game. This right here has saved me HOURS of grinding. I’m glad I know that it’s all locked behind new game + I was basing this game to much on dark souls. Thank you so much.

[gllifer]

Almost 80 hours into the game and there's still so much more, awesome

[vectorfox]

This title is simply the best ever. As a Nioh 1 veteran, I was obsessed about utilizing the same crafting mechanics until I picked up a really good Axe and said screw it. That Axe for me through NG+ as well.

[JetSetGaming]

I can’t wait for dream of the nioh and ethereal to come

[BlackFantasy]

Finished my first playthrough an hour ago and have now been watching your video to get informed for NG+. Very helpful as well as your walkthrough was during the end-game missions.

There is also a way to get Book of Reincarnation from a Sudama. If he asks for something that's not good for you, give him sake and he might drop a Book of Reincarnation alongside other stuff.

[FoxGoddess]

I didn't realize you could choose 2 of the remodel options, I thought you were locked into 1, thanks for making my character much stronger saw about a 200 weapon damage increase because of it.

[deadrites]

Thanks my man! I'm savoring my first play through because I plowed through Nioh 1 in a week and I'm not repeating that here. This game is rarified perfection.

[kckunkun]

This can't be told often enough to newer players. This is like a heavy burden having been lifted now. I'm already OCDing and saving weapons on the second area and wasting too much time micromanaging. Also, the Diablo analogy is superb. Really gives me perspective to not care about anything gear related aside from the highest stat ones until new+.
Thanks for the video!
