OK I'll give it another shot then. Glad to know I just missed a shrine.
I just picked up this game myself. I got it from best buy after seeing it for 20 bucks and it's at least kept me occupied whilst the Ebay guy has never sent the God of War copy i ordered a couple weeks ago..Overall it so far feels like a very good dark souls game.
I also initially missed the last Shrine on the Paralyzing Boss. She was basically the only boss in the game so far that gave me any trouble, the next three after her were all very easy imo.
I'm about level 33 or so now. I'm using a Soul-transferred lvl30 Rakiri (sword you get from the chick after killing boss guy) as my main wep and a spear as backup. My stats are not efficient and i have just about every physical skill in the 10-16 area with heart begin my #1.. I also found myself liking the Dual swords also.. Should I respec and try to focus on something or is it not a big deal and just fill up my melee stats in general using whatever weapon looks best at the time? I've used every weapon save the Kurisaga (sp?) and i found them all potentially very useful.
My other question is about armor, in general i'm sitting about 50% weight mostly using medium armors with occasional light or heavy if i get something i really like. Should i focus on one type? the damage mitigation on heavy looks pretty weak and it feels like most enemies hit like trucks regardless.
As for stances at first i thought it was unnecessarily complex. But i have grown to like it, although i should prob use the high stance more and mostly stick with low/mid all the time..
I don't block at all, i guess this is sort of a holdover from my play in souls games as i think it would be very useful sometimes.
Either go light or heavy armor, light is all about evade and getting into position to attack. Heavy means you can block all day and absorb hits when you do get hit and then counter attack. Medium is pointless unless you really want that 5 piece set bonus that is medium. You can also build a high Ki light armor build so you can also block all day. It is also fairly easy to have agility B in Heavy armor.
Hmm well i never block so i guess i should look for light armor. Is there any reason to not mix and match armor types?
OK I'll give it another shot then. Glad to know I just missed a shrine.

Finally finished this. But I think I'll be sitting Nioh II out for a long while. Great game but it had a lot of shit that annoyed the piss out of me and really got in its own way.
So strange as this is seriously becoming my favorite game of the gen, even over Bloodborne. I absolutely can't wait for Nioh 2. I finally have my main character pushing for the final difficulty and to fully dive into the Abyss (999 floor dungeon that is the end game). I don't even want to know how many hours I now have into this beast, but it is well north of 500. To each their own.
I loved Nioh, but Bloodborne is definitely my favorite Souls-type game. My only gripe is that it's only 30fps. Being able to play Darksouls on PC at high framerate and Nioh on PS4 Pro at 60 fps really makes Bloodborne feel like a slog at 30fps. That said, I haven't played any 'hard' game in a while, so I'm looking forward to Nioh 2.
