- 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.

As a new PC player, this is by far the most in depth guide on this website. You don't just show us what to do. You tell us WHY we should do it. You explain the logic behind everything.
one detail to remember, it isn't imbue corruption that allows for soul cores to be used in Soul Match it is Demon Weapons which will always have imbue corruption. So weapons like Seething Dragon, Yanaba's Knives, and so one you can use the cores, but weapons like Quaking Tonfas with imbue corruption won't work.

Guide for the original Nioh, which a lot of is also accurate for this game as well: ua-cam.com/video/Ex85YCkB3I4/v-deo.html
Do you prefer this or Code Vein? This is my first Nioh game and as much as I like Vein, I prefer this.
Code vein is hot garbage compared to Nioh
@@FightinCowboy that's harsh but sometimes harsh is right , completely agree
@@FightinCowboy LOL!
Do you think they will condense the loot/ weapons/ armor to make it easier to build sets?this is still a bunch of junk drops.
I had to drink a Gatorade and take a nap after watching this video. I'm exhausted
I’ve played through the entirety of Nioh 1 and 2 without having a proper build, I literally just go by the “equip whatever’s strongest” rule. This video is opening a whole new way to approach both the games for me so thanks a bunch for sharing this!
That is how I played through Nioh 2 on my first go through and I will admit I was having a rough time with it. My stats and levels were a complete disaster.
Lol same and I've never felt like "Oh well my decision to balance the stats to be able to use all weapons turned me into cripple"
@@braindead2840 honestly playing Nioh like BOTW where you just keep using the stronger weapon you pick up is valid. It worked for me anyway.
You explained and broke it down well like the first Nioh.
gameplay of dark souls, loot system of diablo, and weapon leveling of warframe.. wow downloading right now
If you think it's the gameplay of Dark Souls, you're gonna have a bad time
@@ThorB0 got the game a few days ago. Made that mistake in the first hour. Died quite a bit until I changed my mindset lul.
@@silentartist7854 How did you change your mindset ?
@@Keesbanaanaap use the damn ki pulse and be agressive, also block with your weapon.
@@beetlegrounds2649 yeah same, I was so used to not using shield/blocking in ds that I completely ignored it in nioh 2. Haha biggest mistake, now blocking saves my ass all the time
Watching this in 2023.. being a beginner nioh 2 and this really helped me out 😊
Just picked up Nioh 2 The Complete Edition and I have to say, this game is fantastic. Your guide was very helpful, as always. Cheers
I'm a Niohversity graduate after watching this.
After watching this, I graduated from Niohvard with a 4.0 GPA
@fightincowboy - No Doubt - i think you should be a teacher. That was so thorough and clear to understand. I also Graduated from Nioh University today.
Thank you for this CB! Your original beginners guide for the first Nioh is what got me interested in the game. It's been a while since I played, so coming into Nioh 2 with all the new mechanics was a bit of an information overload. I was hoping you'd release a guide to have everything explained, not disappointed!
Loved the original Nioh. Played a ton of it and STILL found this video extremely helpful. Much appreciated as always. Ready for release. Keep doing what you do.
This.
I got this game last Saturday, and slowly watched 5 minutes of this vid a day, just finished, and now I really feel like I know what I'm doing. I just beat the first boss of Chapter 2 and I'm loving this game. I saw a Guardian Spirit I really hope I can use, too. The one woman with the multi-tailed fox in the one cutscene, GOD I hope I can get that.
Like others, just writing a "thank you" note here! I originally ragequit DS3. Watched your walkthrough for DS3 a year later and finished the game. Then I finished Elden Ring, Sekiro, DS1 and DS2, making use of your tutorials more selectively where necessary. These games have been the best I have every played. I had actually given up on gaming already!
Now it's time for Nioh, because I want to prepare for the awesomeness that will be Wo Long next year.
Currently, the BEST Nioh 2 beginner's guide on UA-cam-Ty! I've been checking you out since b The Ringed City dlc released Sun-Bro. Nice to see your hard work & tenacity payed off! \ 0 /
Cowboy, I don't know if you still read these but you have been a great help to me and I'm sure many others since your Dark Souls 2 days. Thank you so much for these guides.
I member the ds2 days some of my favorite times.
Great job CB. I'm excited to finally get back into the Nioh franchise with it being free from ps plus last month. This was a very nice refresher for me, it helps alot yo thank you.
Same, psn has been delivering with Nioh and now all of Mass Effect this month.
Thank you Cowboy i remember being a little confused with Nioh 1 but now i think i know more ready for release. This is why i have followed you for many years.
dude i remember watching your channel 3 years ago when nioh came out, and it's what convinced me to play the game.
It's always good to have these vids handy cause they'll remind us of the simple things with huge impacts
Man, this is a great video. I started playing NIOH 2 and after about a couple of hours of playing I just felt over whelmed with all the info thrown at me. This video is a GREAT way to get a a good grasp on the stuff in the game. I enjoyed it very much. And now I feel a bit more comfortable rerolling my char and knowing what to do.
Thanks.
I feel you, I just got the game today and holy shit is there a lot to learn. I thought it was going to be like dark souls, just dodge and attack. It sucks feeling like a noob but I’m looking forward to getting to that point where I feel really comfortable with it like I do with dark souls.
Cowboy I started watching back when you dropped the borderlands 2 build videos and lemme say your format just nails it every single time, I’ve never found better guide videos for any game and it’s been an awesome ride, super glad you’re playing nioh 2! Keep up the awesome videos!
Great video Cowboy, can't wait to dive in.
Watched a few videos from different YTers. Within the first 3 minutes of yours I learnt a LOT more than all the others combined, looking forward to seeing more!
I love how in depth this is. I've played over 100H and still I'm learning new stuff. Can you believe I played 50h without knowing about the equipment load? What a journey that was fighting bosses while in the yellow and reds LOL. Anyways, great video.
You make the best souls-like content on UA-cam. Been a fan for years. Thanks.
New subscriber here! Started by watching your Dark Souls walkthroughs which were fantastic and got me through each game. Now on to Nioh 2 and again, your guides are top notch! Keep up the great work and I’ll continue to be an avid watcher and big fan!
This guide had really helped me. I would recommend for any newcomers to play the first level a few times to get use to the controls and to grind for some good loot. It might be tedious, but trust me, each attempt you'll get fast and clearing it and get some great loot to start off with.
The only question I have is how do I spend skill points. I have seven for switchglave and every time I want to spend them I can't.
If they're greyed out (or red) in the skill tree and they say unlocked after mission ??? you have to do the training in the dojo to unlock that ability
who is here getteing ready for the PC release tommorow ??
Me lol
yessir
here
U kno it
I already clapped Nioh 2 on PS4, almost done it on PC too. Great game
I have nioh 2 I loved the first one but haven't fully gotten back into yet. But I have watched your videos throughout the years with all the soulsbourne content and I just wanted to say thank you for all the great informative spot on content. Highest quality content for walkthroughs/guides and mostly anything you are the man. I appreciate what you have done and still do. Peace I'll be sure to watch these when I start in on nioh 2!
The only guy i follow for game tutorials 🙌🏾🙌🏾 great break down
if it wasn't for this dude i'd be lost i love his channel so much
The tutorial helped us out a lot. Chain scythe the spikes ball and the dual wield hatchets are really good together to
I'm sure i'll be coming back here during my playthrough. Thanks for the vid!
Honestly dude thanks so much for this video ! You broke it down and explained things so well!, youve been a massive help !
thank you for your guide! it was perfect, you broke it down without spoiling anything out of the game. ( I hate when people give you lvl 1 to end game ready builds and call them guide)
Soooo helpful, I've been looking for an indepth guide like this for a while :) Thanks!
Thanks Cowboy, this is a great intro to setting up a character. Can't wait till the 13th.
Know all of this stuff, still watched it! Thanks for the content!
The music in Nioh 2 is so much better. Great video Cowboy cant wait for more guides.
Hey man! I'm watching this 2 years later and it is the best Nioh2 guide to date! Thanks so much
if you can get into this game. you won't regret it. it's a 10. a perfect 10
What a nice refresher this video was, didn't realize I've forgotten so much from the first game. I can hardly wait for Friday.
I know, right. So much customization to be done and this video was a great refresher. The behind the scenes crafting and planning is as fun as the fighting.
I had just about given up on this game until I found your help!! my guy!! you explained alot
Awesome! This is exactly what I needed. Can't wait for your Nioh 2 content!
The game is like looking at a textbook and getting overwhelmed with info. Thank you for clearing some stuff up
It's a very good game when you learn the systems
Thank you so much for this video. This really helped me understand Nioh 2 better, and really enjoy the game. Your videos are the best!
This game seems amazing, thanks for the video.
From one Nioh player to another... Thank you.
A fantastic explanation for a lot of doubts i had, it is much appreciated!
Just watched three of these videos and I think I'm more clueless than I was before.
Best Nioh 2 guide, clear and concise.
Awesome vid Cowboy. Really helped me begin to understand a lot of the new features. Soul cores had me puzzled. Thank you.
Thanks Cowboy, great content as usual. Honestly I spent 80% of the last chance trial time in the character editor, that thing is amazing! Don't want to spoil the actual release, most anticipated game of 2020 for me (don't think Elden Ring is coming this year)...
Zikari SG
Same here lol
Zikari SG Given FromSoftware’s previous track record with releases, I think it will release by fall
@@Ballsballs265 commenting from the future to tell you i'm almost fully hollow. GIVE US THE RING MIYAZAKI.
Great work here. There were a few bits here that really helped.
Thanks for the comprehensive easy to understand guide!
Extremely helpful and concise guide! I love the complete control over customization, but its definitely confusing at first
Just picked this up on Steam a few days ago through a sale. Loved the first one, but only got through the initial playthrough. I like the improvements in this one and how true it stays to the original. Thanks for the video, the blacksmith is what was really confusing me. I hate being inefficient.
Finally! Thanks for this vid!!!!!
You're awesome for making this, cheers!
This game is freakin' AWESOME. If you can, please try to buy at full price to support it. We've been getting absolute SHIT games; so let's send a message that we'll back a great game!
Bought the Special Edition for $80
@@iAmMighty-Frieza The season pass is exciting! We now know what Team Ninja is capable of. PvP at the Torii Gate is a given.
Ezio C. I actually bought the special edition without hardly knowing what the season pass consists of lol what is it all the DLC content that will come out?
@@iAmMighty-Frieza Yup, you're in!
@@iAmMighty-Frieza Nice supporting Team Ninja for their great work! We weren't given much in 2019!
great video, nice work.
one thing you haven't mentioned which does effect gameplay quite a bit is Toughness, and i guess that goes hand in hand with blocking and how to use it in Nioh. One thing i see a lot of new player do is basically never block, when blocking is essential in Nioh to getting out of stagger.
Another thing that may be helpful. Soul Matching a weapon with a Soul Core to level up the weapon seems to be exponentially cheaper than using a weapon of the same level. I spent about 20-30k to level a weapon from 30 to 51 using a Soul Core instead of using a weapon and spending 160k.
Love your content man. Have been for years (I may or may not have a Souls problem...and tattoo...) and I'm stoked that you are consistently putting out good videos on these games.
I'm no expert but I feel like a ton of time has to go into doing all this, and as a card carrying member of "your exact target audience", thank you very much for the effort you put into everything. You are appreciated.
Hope things are going well on your end :-)
Thank you sir. Another extremely well explained breakdown video. We appreciate it.
This is great! Thanks! I hope sooner or later this will come to PC and I'll be able to play it countless hours like I did with the first one :D
I'm 4 years late getting into this game but this changed my entire experience. I was a heavy build with the Odachi and Dual axes who was also trying to put points into Ninja stuff and I decided to respec and go full ninja with the Tokagemaru w/corruption and the Kusarigama w/ imbue purity. I also have super lightweight armor which allows me to move in to get hits and dodge far away with the running water skills which gives a much needed Ki pulse so I can rinse and repeat. I just did that side mission where you take on 2 mini bosses and the big horse guy from the first mission as well as a few smaller enemies. I was really struggling and had to use the item to quit out and finally came back with the right ninja build and beat it first try. This video gave me so much info that I was completely unfamiliar with. I would've likely got towards the end game and quit due to my character being weak from putting too many points into stats I didn't need and now I only level up the stuff that effects my build and the game is a night and day difference. Thanks for letting me enjoy Nioh 2 the way it was intended!!
Great guide! The only suggestion I would have is possibly mentioning Toughness in the opening alongside Gear Weight, since those are the two stats you're really balancing against each other - I personally lean toward a block-centric playstyle, so balancing B agility with A toughness basically defines my early gear picks. Still, so much useful here that helped me out!
Thanks for the breakdown lol. I quit after I moved to the third area, but now after watching this, you got me informed and motivated bro.👾🖖🏾
Thanks for the guide FightinCowboy that really gave me an idea on what to make on release day.
Thnx for the tips I knew a bit of it but you have helped me understand a lil more Thnx again
Quite possibly the best video game guide ever made!
Love your videos!!! Your guides are very helpful buddy!!
Brand new to Nioh today (kept getting wrecked on the first boss of the trial). I am REALLY digging this game so far. Trying to get over Souls mindset has been tough, but I have really enjoyed the trial. I was honestly surprised at just how much customization this game has. I have no doubt I will be watching this video a few times in the future, as I try and puzzle out how everything works!
EDIT: Just found out this game has hide helmet and fashion souls. 20/10 best game.
About to give this a try. I used your DS2 Hex guide when I played and it helped a ton.
Insanely helpful video, thanks mate!
Just picked up the game with friends. VERY helpful guide. Thank you for this!
Thorough and clear, really helpful for a newbie like me ;) Thx a lot!
Really good guide, learned lots of useful things. Did not enjoy Nioh but Nioh 2 has been a lot of fun to play.
just bought this on pc and it's my first souls-like game ever played. this video helped a lot. i got stuck on the second mission for awhile as the boss in there is quite fast. looked over my equipment during watching this and had 2 items with greyed out bonuses + the heaviest gear i found as i thought good defense is a good thing. did some tweaking and got my weight down a lot and at first i got even more crushed than before, but i think that was because i blocked all the time. now i'm dodging a bit more and it went way more easier than before. not only do i have more ki to spend on low-mid stuff but after a combo normally i'm all out but now i can safely block or dodge.
thank you! i will need to watch this video a couple of times for all information to stick.
Bro is gonna have a breeze in dark souls
Funny. I been watching your dark souls remastered play through so I know where to go and now I’m here watching a nioh 2 video. Subbed
Brilliant starter guide! Thanks Cowboy 🤟
Thanks a lot FightinCowboy! This is what I needed.
Greetings from Brazil anyway.
Thanks for the guide! That was very helpful :D
Very well explained my dude! Appreciate it!
You’re the best Cowboy, i don’t watch as many of your vids as I should but i always drop you a like..
Excellent guide for new players. Really helpful tips. Good job pal. Thx
Thank you for this, incredibly useful.
Thanks for the guide. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks for this. I'm preparing myself for Nioh 2 complete edition for PC ( Steam) on Feb.5th. Never played a Nioh game but I'm a fan of the Souls games and Bloodborne so I think I should be ok.
Awesome guide!
Thx, i have learned alot
Thanks for the video!! This will help a lot
Just aboutta play this game and I’m glad this channel has covered it! As always, great video!
Take it slowly. Try every weapon and stick to the one you enjoy the most. Second and third boss may give you trouble. But you can do it
@@User1273- thanks man, I tried a few and settled on the splitstaff and hatchets. Ive got up to beating the human dude with the black teeth, but the thing that gave me the most trouble was that eagle yokai dude, F that guy 😂
@@xrabbz2010 my personal favourites are fists and switch glaive. Some of the yokai can be more problematic than the bosses at the beginning until you will get more weapon skills/magic/ninjutsu
Ty so much for this. Im at lvl 15 and this helped me so much.
Great guide!!! Keep up the great job.
I am really getting into Nioh 2 pretty heavy and now that I have moved beyond the urge to try to dark souls my way through it, I am trying to learn to play it how it is meant to be played. This definitely helps.
Very helpful thank you. I know its 2 years late but i wanted to shar my gratitude.
So much info nice vid bro thx
Never thought I’d have to take a course to learn how to play a game, great job
Probably one of the most complicated games I've played but I'm keen to master it now after watching this tutorial.. also took me 5 hours to defeat the first boss (by first boss I mean second enemy).. no game has ever made me feel this small.. I will beat you Nioh2.
I felt the same way when I played blood borne I am now on new game plus 4 In bloodborne
@@ApolloSinsYT Wow I hadn't even bothered to look it up before but after watching some gameplay bloodborne looks terrifying lol
How'd the journey go, gamer?
My partner just randomly bought this game for me 2 days ago I’m 6 hours in and man there’s ALOT.. ALOT of things in this game I love it
