So no one's figured out the Hidden Teahouse yet? Yes. It has elements in common with the Souls games, but you don't have to like those to dig Nioh. The combat is far sharper and more engaging, and structurally the game is actually sound (unlike From's games). Give it a go.

Well it took three years, but it looks like we're finally getting a good hack n' slash on current gen. consoles. Hats off to Nioh.

I've seen some people playing Nioh like Ninja Gaiden as well; spamming the whirlwind attack with the dual swords repeatedly like the old 360 Y. Has anyone figured out how to unlock the "Hidden Teahouse" or the "Storehouse"?

Rakiri is the second-highest damage sword I've found. It could potentially be the most if you soul match it, however. Most is the Nami-oyogi Kanemitsu.

Yes, I completed all three. They're actually quite fun to farm using the "Clear Yokai with a Companion" feature from the Gate menu. You usually get paired with another player who also knows what they're doing, so you can whistle through them quite quickly for high-level loot.

Question: With the singe katana, does the "Flux" skill combo with the "Iai Quickdraw III"? (ie: does the automatic Iai transition give you the ki bonus from Flux?)

Unless the Chimera stage is hiding in here somewhere then I believe that I've effectively completed all of the Demo's stages. Been helping some randoms through the Co-op feature. If any of you are looking for help or whatever, I'd be game to help (I believe you can set-up specific games through...

Ah! Yeah, I don't have the Ki Blast. Been upgrading what looks cool instead of what's potentially useful (go me). BTW, does anyone know if the rainy stage/Chimera boss from the Alpha is included in the Beta? Can't seem to find how to access it.

Use high stance with the single katana and use the triangle after dodging her attacks. Try to stay close, and circle to your left. The hardest attack is the whirlwind since it covers the entire duration of your dodge and tracks you as you move. No great advice on countering that move, since my...

Whoops, sorry. Meant to do that yesterday, then got sidetracked playing the Ni-Oh demo. My bad. WAZAAAAA isn't my buddy, and the main people he gets into squabbles with are people I'm on good terms with. So... nope.

Aesthetically I prefer the single sword as well, but for gameplay reasons I've found the dual swords fit my style better. I kind of wish the single sword parries were instant-activation but small active window techniques. The way they are now, having a longer activation time than the attacks you...

What Stat(s) have you guys found most useful to upgrade?

Yes.

My impressions so far: The Good + Weapon/Stance Variety + Collision Detection (see, From Software? it's not that hard) + Combat speed/rhythm + Animations and fluidity + General Atmosphere and Creature Designs + No item degradation The Bad - Bloodstains/Amrita system - Whatever is going on with...

Probably does. Dual Katanas, in my experience, are far more powerful than the single katana.

Mid stance Dual Katana move. Attacks while still keeping a guard up.
