- 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 Gregory pointed out you can also use the Kodama Helm + Soul to boost the Hunters Blessing even further for more chance. Additionally if you're looking for a specific text the Nioh community on reddit is working on putting a sheet together. www.reddit.com/r/Nioh/comments/fkasz0/smithing_texts_google_doc_please_contribute/
Does difficulty affect text drop rate if I may ask?
I am a dual sword player, I am wondering where can you find the smithing text for the master's swordsman set?
@@giangle8409 yes
@@FightinCowboy Thank you. Been farming for Kingo armor in dream of the samurai for way too long
Have you stumbled upon The Exceptional One Armor set yet ?
I don't normally watch guides of any kind. I just play an look up the bits i don't get. But your work is exactly what it says on the tin. So really respect for putting this together and sticking to quality information
Cowboy has been one of the best for a while. Love his content. Short, sweet and to the point. You should catch one of his live streams some time.
@@sneakyredpanduh nods I have that's why I checked out his content.
Well said
Hi Cowboy. I hope you see this comment and its pretty long, sorry ♡♡♡. You can get multiple smithing texts if you also focus on the right guardian spirit. For smithing text farming, use nine tails as primary for 70 luck during yokai shift and ito buri (spider) as secondary for 2.5% item drop rate. What you also can do to even increase more luck and item drop rate is to add the right soulcores as well. For the nine tails, you can add +30 luck during yokai shift, item drop rate against yokai/human, there are 3 spots, so you can add 3 of them depending on what you have less of. You also can bring luckybringer talisman for even more luck for those who have access to it. When fighting boss, injure him til he has very low hp then activate your yokai shift of the nine tails to get all your stats working in your soul core and guardian stats and of course using your luckybringer talisman. Make sure you fill your amrita gauge for yokai shift before you fight. You can get multiple smithing texts. I got 4 to 5 at once. If you out of luck, Sometimes you get none but it still works like a charm. Sorry for the long comment but I hope this gives you an idea as well. Thank you.
P.S : wonderful video. ♡♡♡
Coming back to this reply 2 years later and all I'm gonna say is CAP. You do not get multiple.After doing all of this I've only gotten 1 or 2 in the first 10 tries. It's ridiculous.
Your post is CAP because it works for me haha
Damn wish I would’ve known this when I was farming for the sarutobi’s gunsticks text! Killed the final boss like 24 times. Great video man.
24 times. Lucky you.
Where do you get the sarutobi gunsticks? Please do tell :)
@@jordansebert11 the final boss on ng+ (DotS) Oretakemaru or whatever. Smithing text is there. Or ng+ (DotS) scented letter or a dreams end cant remember gives it on firat time mission completion as divine.
Jordan Sebert I got the text from the last boss. He drops a bunch of different texts.
Cool guide! This could help me save some time farming these smithing texts
For even better chances. Give one of those purple guys a cleansed soul. From doing this I got a kodama soul, it gives you kodama blessing+ 10%. Then stack that with the kodama bowl helmet and a full item drop set :p
@@kooltube100 soul core?
I've gotten clear and relevant information from each video I've watched and it is much appreciated thank you! Subbed
For anyone wanting additional info, I'm 99% sure I have all the smithing and skill texts in the game and I started farming at the beginning of NG+ so all gear was base 150/160. I made it more efficient as I learned new things, below is the final setup.
Clan: Gamo for luck bonus.
Tea Utensils: Organised for luck only.
Shrine: Hunters blessing for 25% item drop rate.
Guardian spirit: Itokuri for luck bonus, secondary spirit doesn't matter.
Yokai Core: Kodama core (shrine bonuses) is the main one, but if you have any additional cores that rolled luck or item drop stat you can use those too.
Armor: Kodama bowl head (for additional shrine bonus), 2 piece Sohaya for item drop vs Yokai, Item drop chance rolled on armor + accessories, Luck stat rolls on head and accessories only.
Weapons: Only thing that helps here is a ranged weapon with item drop rate vs humans and item drop rate vs yokai.
Items: Luckbringer talismen from Onmyo tree.
As for actually farming, for longer stages, just blitz to the boss with running scroll as shown in the video and quit to menu if they don't drop anything/the thing you wanted. Shorter stages obviously you can just re-do from the map.
Alot of the above is probably overkill but was my final setup. Clan, shrine, guardian spirit and kodama bowl head and kodama soul core give the most bonuses. But by the end of NG you should be able to roll luck and item drop on your gear so, it's up to you. I tore my hair out before the gear was finished, but after it was far more manageable. Good luck !
Thanks this was really helpful!
Is item drop rate chance the one you need to farm hidden skills from bosses?
@@omgstopturd6566 Yes, luck and item drop chance effect skill texts as they are considered a rare material the same way smithing texts are!
Nice. Hopefully it'll go smoother than my farming for the dojo smithing texts, they take forever to drop.
I’ve been trying for days to get a certain smithing text. When I did all the things in the video I got it on my second try. Ty!!
0:58 i didn't know item drop rate applies to smithing texts. Thank you.
Now I just have to figure out where all the smithing texts are lol
Mostly dripped by tge people using them for example. The things Hanza wears and wields. Smithing texts drop specific to that: "iga ninja armor" and "hanzo demon spear".
Mostly the human (more or less) bosses you encounter.
Great video thanks man! I personally farm graves for the gear that others made or farmed text for. Easiest and fastest way for me to get full sets and gives me tons of money for that teahouse shop.
Nice heads up on the save and quit, just avoiding the load screens and enemies is nice
Onmyo Magic Luckbringer Talisman is very good to use too
Ok but that flying kato and swift hawk smithing text tho
Just fight kato till he drops it
Thanks so much!!! Really saved me a lot of time to farm the smithing text fast!! 😄😄
You'll want Itokuri as Guardian Spirit too. Extra 5% item drop rate and 40 luck
From what someone else who has been manipulating the game says, item drop rate is the most important thing to have on your gear, and you want it on every piece possible for farming texts and skills. They said it's more important than luck, even though having *some* luck matters too.
QUESTION: What about "item drop rate vs humans"??? Cause I'm wondering if that is even better than just item drop rate. Especially if the boss is of the type.
Does playing in the "Way of the Strong" and syncing your level increase your odds of getting smithing texts?
polymathecian no it doesnt
3:00 the trophies give it away that you fight him or join him. Im now intrigued
Best Nioh 2 tips i have seen so far. But i have one question. I killed the last Boss on NG+ but did not unlock NG++. You think that i need to clear more missions or is NG++ not in the game atm ?
NG++ and beyond (Demon, Wise, Nioh) aren't in the game yet, they'll add each difficulty in with more DLC.
@@FightinCowboy thx for the super fast answer :D
I can't get the smithing text to drop from. Ninja veteran
Does the Kodama boost that Hunter's Blessing? So I have a helmet with +22%. Would that put Hunters blessing at 47%?
It would be +22% on the 25% blessing (1.22*25), so 30.5% would be the blessing with the 22% boost.
@@sifuminus720 ughhhhh, math....gross.
Extra handy since the bosses drop weapon skills too.
With the new dlc Grace sets, I am able to get both my item and equipment drop rate above 45% each depending on one of my Armor sets
I accidentally dissasdembled my Kodama bowl without knowing the real value of this head gear since I'm only starting to get into smithing text farming. Is it possible to farm it from revenants in NG and if yes where would it be best?
Isn't Itokiri better for farming if you want luck and item drop rate?
I guarantee, this game IS MAKING HISTORY; kind of like Fighting Cowboys inhuman stamina with these clips (very good & helpful)! Carpe Diem!
I have the idea that if you drain out the lootpool of a boss, you can farm for hours and nothing will come, so you are forced to search for other bosses, cause a smithing text can drop from multiple bosses, it’s definitely a pain in the ass at moment, hate this game mechanics
Nice video
Plz do Xp and gold farm video 😃🙌
what a pain in the arse getting the texts are currently on 87.2 so getting there
How do I find out what bosses etc give off smithing texts? Also how do I know what level I've already played has what boss if I'm looking for a specific one? It's quite annoying.
Don't understand ... I have 236 luck, and an IDR of +36 ... Not seeing any texts ... i have the kodama bowl hat to with my blessing ..and im using the spider guardian with child of the sun ... I do notice a distinction between dark realm IDR ... Maybe you need to kill the bosses out of the dark realm?
Guid for All Smith Text location incoming?
So the pray shrine persists to save that point in the game even if you turn off the console?
But, if you find a text you want, take it, but want another you have to play true the hole mission again?
I now that this particular video is older but I wanted to ask on it since it is related to what I am looking for but do you know if any other boss besides the high spirited demon can drop kingos armor smithing text?
Looking for Child of the Sun smithing text. I assume it’s from Yokai Tokichiro? Would make the most sense but he hasn’t dropped it yet.
Nvm I can confirm that he drops it (duh) lol
Nice video thanks for the tips! Do you have any ideas where the shinto priest set drops?
It's really not worth farming, I don't know everyone's obsession with that set.
Cowboy pooped his chaps right before answering this one lol
@@FightinCowboy do u know where to find it?
#FightinCowboy
Also guid for All skill drop locations pls.
If you return to title do you lose what the boss dropped? Wondering just in case something good dropped but not what i wanted
Yes. If you wanna keep a drop you're gonna have to finish/save and then start over.
@FightinCowboy I did not expect a 4 year old video to get such a fast response, thank you so much!
I just started playing this game on my ps4. When do you get the hunter's blessing?
Please do an axe\odachi build video :)
Hello, i have one question why is my rarity level forgerd item range from 158 to 160 , why isn't it 160 already ? Am i missing something
How do I access the Blue Eyed Samurai mission? I’m trying to unlock the Tosa Governor Outifg
Why not the kodama helm and the kodama soul for additional % to the blessing?
Very good addition.
@@FightinCowboy Right on good to know! I was unsure if it wasn't used for a reason. Thanks!
If I use the Return to Title Screen tip while having visitors summoned will they still get their mission rewards? Particularly if I wait until they depart from the mission? I'm using this method but I'm summoning people to help reduce the grind. I just don't want to cheat people out of their mission rewards for helping me kill the boss
No clue but you shouldn't have visitors if you're speed farming
Great video man. I'm curious did you find Little Crow & Quickdraw yet? If so was it NG+? Because I was trying to farm it in the Dark Omens in regular NG but never pulled it.
How do you get the shrine Maiden’s Armor
Hello guys , i just finished up the Game killing Otakemaru.... does anyone know where can i get The Exceptional One armor set ? Wether Smithing Text or drops , Cheers 👌🏼
what boss gives yiu the exceptional ones smithing text
I found an Art of Combat: Water Drop from koroku. It's a technique for kusarigama but would the smithing text farm work for others like this?
I just want the Flying Kato set but i still have no idea where to get it.
Alex Deva - I got that text yesterday from farming the ninja advanced dojo mission. It took like two hours of nonstop grinding, but I also don’t have any drop rate boosts, so maybe you can give yourself more of an edge and not have to fight him a hundred times.
@@joshuacarroll4805 Advanced or Veteran? Because i've been farming the veteran one for quite a bit now.
Veteran any time a boss drops a set he is wearing that means he will also have the text guaranteed.
I have a question for anybody interested in answering. I want to wear the 7 piece set for Golden Gourd. I have 6 pieces but I accidentally sold the blue gourd I got for completing the mission where you fight Tokichiro. Will he ever drop the gourd again? I’ve been trying for hours and working on my luck and everything. Also accessories are equipment right? Wow this video is super helpful by the way so I’m going to try doing this technique until I get it.
yasakani magatama - reduce set req by 1
and yes theres a chance
how long would it take to farm golden gourd on ng and can you trade smithing texts?
Yall now where to find the red demon armor?
Does the difficulty increase the drop rate as well
I can’t do this unless I am in this region though right? When I go on expedition mode I don’t think it saves shrines like that.
Question what about using item drop rate vs human. Since it gives better percentage than item drop rate
U keep and make more amrita doin this?
Question for you where would be the best location to farm the justice ministry armor txt
You guys know where the tatenashi smithing text can be farmed?
I believe it is from the side mission in the 3rd region called The Falling Star
whats the difference between white item drop rate and yellow item drop rate?
Nothing, the stat is yellow on most pieces because it's an uncommon bonus, chests it's considered common so it's white
can i get the iga smithing text from this farm
29.1% drop rate. 167 luck. Luck magic charms. 75+ attempts. Still no One eyed dragon text from William.
I like to think i have a high tolerance for repetition in games like this, but i'm seriously starting to lose my cool about this shit. Though i will say i'm happy to know about that restarting trick for actual level bosses from now on.
Does this smithing text allow to craft the Toukichiro Gourd ?
Where do i get the dual bloodstained cleavers text?
Hey did you find the text for the justice ministry set? I’ve been looking it up every day to see if someone found a boss/side mission it drops from
Final boss.
FightinCowboy damn, thanks though
FightinCowboy aannnnnd I’ve been fighting the 3 sword bastard for 2 days, the game knows I want it and is mocking me
Can you get the kato and iga smithing texts from this?
arent smithing texts tagged as "items" and therefore affected by item drop chance? correct me if im wrong
G R yes they are. That’s why he said to put item drop rate on everything you have
@@diablorrrojo5156 but he pointed out to set kodama blessing to increased material dropchance?
@@gr2272 they're considered materials, materials are considered items
there is no item up chance from kodama blessing, only amrita, equipment, elixir, soul core or materials
How do i get Item Drop Rate on my Armor? (Sorry, i'm a Noob)
You do that through Tempering at the Blacksmith
@@zyronos8292 Thanks! And a second question, i have to put 50 stamina in order to get my agilty on B, why is that? I thought 33 would be enough
Sounds like you are probably wearing a rather heavy set of armor. Every armor has its own weight and can vary even with in the same category of armor of light, medium, and heavy. You can tell which category it is at the top. You will see 3 weight symbols and show the category but if you look to the right of that just under the defense number is the actual weight of the armor.
This is what you want to be looking at. There are a few armors that are very heavy and it sounds like the one you are wearing is probably on of the heaviest sets and the reason you need 50 instead of 33.
I also know that using remodel at the Blacksmith you can up the defense of your armor and one of the options is to increase the weight of the armor to get the defense increase. So if you used that it could be a part of the reason why you needed the higher Stamina.
Hey. Bossman? Does the Kodama bonus work on dojo smith text farming? Like flying Kato?
Yes
What is the smithing texts?😁
lol i farmed azai nagamasa for over 20 times with 500 luck and no greater good smithing text
Can you get tosa smithing text from tocichiro
Do you know if the blessing also works on boss drop weapon skills like dragon fang?
It does work, just tested it though I did also use a luckbringer talisman.
Edit (added info):
After doing this I got a smithing text or skill everytime after killing the Yoshimoto Imagawa boss.
A quick noobie quest how to know which texts u have and which one u dont...
Look in your forge at the blacksmith.
Does it drop sakon Shima amor text Smith ?
why that boss in particular?
is this still working?? after the last patch
I can’t find the one eye dragon smithtext

Any1 know where the merchant gear smithing text?
what mission are you on
Does it matter if i farm them in normal gamemode or ng+?
NG+ better
@@FightinCowboy that sucks. Smithing text i want drops probably from the seventh spear in cherry blossom viewing in daigo and i only unlocked third region. But thanks for the reply :)
Does the kodama blessing boost in dojo missions?
Yes
@@FightinCowboy thanks buddy.
Do texts for armor only drop on NG+?
No but the chances are better in NG+
Locations plz
i love fightincowboy
Fuck the iga Jonin set is a bitch to get from the dojo mission. Must have killed Hanzo 50 plus times. I’ve got every drop but that, 2 different spear texts even. I can no damage him without trying. Good god :(
Does it work on any boss or just main ones?
Any boss.
@@FightinCowboy thank you I just got the smithing text for enenras headpiece
How about some "Torii Gate" PvP clips Souls-Bro!!! \ 0 /
there's no pvp yet
@@Deadrocky I'm sorry! I've been so busy training with the new game-play systems I didn't realize they where fine tuning the 3 player co-op before PvP. Thanks for the heads up.
Which Region is this????
Is there any drawback in over levelling?
No such thing. You should 100% keep leveling till you hit max.
@@FightinCowboy thanks mate, best regards, keep up the good work!
@@FightinCowboy even for pvp?
@@jordansebert11 is there such thing as pvp?
PvP isn't even in the game yet, and it pulls your level down if I remember correctly.
Coming back to this game after 2 years or doing other shit,
fuck the drop rates on this. 40% item drop and 140 luck. Absolutely nothing from Mataza.
I'm aware that they dont wanna make it too easy to do this, but this is the absolute worst part of the game IMO
How you get so much health too
Lay Ja - By stacking points in Constitution and his set itself has a bonus of 250 health.
Laughing in his 45% item droprate and over 250 luck build hehehehe
What’s that build with the dual blades
Check the playlist.
Cheese strat for this cheater, thanks :)
who tf think it's a good idea to lock skill and armor set as rng drop from bosses? Not everyone got the time to grind these shit. Not to mention the bosses are not even that easy and took quite a bit of time to beat. Honestly this is just bad game design
I was talking to a friend on this and to be honest the smithing text really only benefit those who like to hard core min/max as the only benefit you get is lower stat requirements becausethe rest is done with tempering. They can help with leveling as you can just go and craft new sets as you level up but again this is something that is the hardcore gamers who are going to run through all the ng+ difficulties are looking at.
But between revents and the bosses/missions that drop them it is not hard to get a full set of the armor. Really it is not a bad design. It gives the hardcore gamers something to chase after without compromising the game for others who might not have the time.
