What’s everyone’s favorite soul core? Are you Ninja build or Samari mainly (or both)?

Hey all new to NIOH series and about 40 hours in on NIOH3. Loving it. But the weapons and gear crafting part has me mystified. Are drops typically better rather than crafting? Also are most players using crucible weapons for mid / end game?

How long was your first play through? I read online when I got the game 30-40 hours but I just opened the second map and I’m 35 hours in. What the heck hah. Is that normal or how long did it take everyone?

Hey everyone
So I beat the 3rd boss then went to do some more side quest which headaches quest was on my map for finding a yokai on the castle grounds. There is no Yokai there at all. I found the recipe and says I spoke to grandfather and then “there are too many Yokai” and when I went there… no Yokai. Looked up a YouTube video there should be this rolling around guy. But nothing there. I’ve prayed and reset from shrine multiple times, still no Yokai. Any ideas ?????

What’s the most attempts you’ve had on a boss and which game / boss?
Was just thinking about it as I’m on NIOH3 the 3rd boss and how annoying he is lol. Out of all soulslike games I’ve played which is pretty much all; this boss takes the crown for annoyance lol.

I get it. I read about it. Lots of people switched to samurai etc. thing is I have done fully decked out Ninja and focused for 30 hours game play now on that and loving the game. I’ve played all soulslike games for years and love them all. Never have I seen such a strange boss design on his “reach” hitting me when I am literally not even near his big weapon thing. Is this just a patient dodge dodge tap tap type boss when in ninja form? Even then he has done some weird reaches that surely shouldn’t be hitting me and often even grabbing me from like long reach lol. So weird. What all tips do you have?

Maybe it’s cuz I’m also an MMO/Open world player but I’m 20 hours in and haven’t even gotten to the second main storyline at the castle thing yet lol. Been doing side quests and now I’m feeling probably a little over powered but it seems main storyline levels with you? Anyhow… did I do this wrong? Do you do main storyline then side quests or what? Feels like maybe I was doing too much.

Hey all loving the game! Had some questions for a noob. I love the ninja style it reminds me much more to other soulslikes due to great dodge mechanisms. With that in mind I like the dual wield approach and found some solid dual wield swords at level 7. I’m now level 15 and still can’t find any better ones. Do you just stay to one type that you like best or keep using different ones? All the others feel too sluggish for me. Also for gear it’s constant gear loot pick up which is awesome but how often you actually find upgrades worth while? Seems a lot of loot but not with high rank drops for my level all is mostly way below. Does the gear scale with the map area is that why?

Hey all! Just started nioh 3.

Haven’t played the others but I am a huge soulslike fan. With that said Type D control setup feels most comfy for me but I read it’s not very “future proof” for abilities or easy controls. For any of you other soulslike players what type did you use and what custom switching around? I mean yes I can just use type A and learn it but just wanted it to ‘feel’ more like the souls R1 and R2 I’m used to.

Hey all - I’m a big time soulslike lover and I’ve never played any NIOHs yet. Not the first or 2nd. Should I dive into 3 directly? Also curious how you rate it compared to others. My faves are Wuchang, Lords of Fallen (newest one), Elden, Wukong, etc. Not sure why I’ve slept on NIOH… but I keep seeing it on my suggested titles for PS store.
