U mean when u run out of Ki? That should part and parcel of the game. Managing ur Ki so that it doesn't run out. Few ways :

1. Increase ur absolute Ki. This happens when leveling up, increasing some stats, increasing prestige, learn skills (sword group has one that one increase absolute Ki) etc

2. Use items that either increase Ki or reduce ki loss when guarding.

3. Learn to Ki Pulse to have faster Ki recovery.

4. Dodge dodge dodge. Some attacks r heavy and damaging so better to dodge them then stand and block. (Note there are also items that reduce ki use while dodging). In fact u loss less Ki when dodging compared to blocking.

You can also use items to recover ki faster like sacred water but ultimately if attackers keep attacking u when ur standing still guarding u will bound to lose Ki sooner or later hence best to always dodge and roll and keep ur distance.

Toughness work too the more toughness you have the less ki you lost when you blocking and i always forget that i can block so i dodge everything lol. And my toughness is like 180ish++

^ above is rough translation I got from reddit. More importantly the Infinite Living Weapon suzaku was patched so those relying on this to farm, etc will have to look other less efficient ways.

As for me I'm holding off patching it till I'm satisfied with my Amrita amount 🤣🤣🤣

so those OP magic skill is adjusted......also means nerfed lol

Which op magic skill? Sloth remains unchanged.

carnage talisman is magic right? and also those element talisman.

oh ya, sloth remain unchanged.

yup it is but I don't find carnage op. Sure coz more damage at the expense of defense but try to get a hit in and see. Plus it's duration is so short. Almost half lower than power pellet.

Unfortunately some players r crying over it as well lol.

Those who are on US PSN, check your weekly update newsletter from Sony. If you have 20% discount code, Nioh is on sale now on the store for $40.19. Put that discount code in and it's only $32. Insane value.

wooo just finish this game, the final boss of this game is kinda disappointing but the mission before that is so epic!

Yamata-No-Orochi's fight so awesome but sadly the snake die, if not we use it as our guardian spirits hahaha.

i checked my statistic and i dead 687 times LOL

Where is the best place to farm Amrita? I just defeated the girl who got possessed. I feel my character is still so weak.

best way to farm is coop with another player

What lvl ur at? Are u in post game or still starting out?

I'm still on my first playthrough. Btw, to get Platinum, do I have to beat the game twice? I'm currently on level 87 I think? My character is skills and magic based.

Nope u don't have to beat the game twice. But something's are faster post game. Like grinding for gold, increase weapon proficiency etc

I guess I'm still halfway in the game. Which spot you can advise to farm Amrita?

Uh, there is no specific good spot to farm amrita if u just started out. Best I can suggest is just go to Torii gate and help others out.

As I said most are doing amrita farming post-game. You can check out youtube and there tons of videos on this but it is during end game (eg get all guardian spirits, complete final boss, etc).

Thanks bro! Any tips on forging weapons? I don't really use it as it only forges limited number of weapons. I usually upgrade my weapons via soul match. What are your thoughts on this?

Until u can have access to divine weapons I suggest u don't start forging yet. Which means waiting till new game plus. Throughout the game there maybe drops (very rare) on smithing texts allowing u to forge more weapons and armor.

Also no point soul matching now. Again wait until u access divine and new game plus.

At the current stage just continue killing and using the newer weapons u obtain.

Once u reach new game plus u can do the following (my opinion) :

1. Decide on which key weapon u want to use.
2. Look for the right lvl 150 weapon. Keep all green drops that are +1 to +10 (+6 and above are super rare). You will need this when u soul match to increase your main weapon to +10 (same applies to armor as well)
3. Use soul match to give the weapon u want to use to inherit its attributes. The weapon u want to aim for should have this basic attributes (close combat damage, killing strike / final blow dmg, change to attack (heart-sword, skill-dual, dex-Lisa, etc).
4. Use forging to try and get a lvl 160 weapon (max lvl) which u can soul match later.

FYI I never bothered upgrading or forging until new game plus. I spend most of my blacksmith points to add to sell as I want to maximize gold first coz as u may know now soul matching is bloody expensive.

What r green drops bro ? Never seen b4....im at 2nd island now only...

Just want tk ask bro...do i need to upgrade dex, spirit, strength ?
Im a sword and dual sword user.....i mainly upgrade heart, body and skill
