Nioh

As Nioh didn’t already service up one of the year’s deepest and toughest experiences, publisher Koei Tecmo Games is taking the title to all new heights of insanity.

In this guide, we’ll take you through Guardian Spirits — what they are and why they’re important — and the ways in which they tie into Living Weapon abilities.

Nioh doesn’t hide from the fact that it hates you and really doesn’t want you to succeed. It shows this love by throwing some of the most gruesome and tough enemies around at you, and making sure you have little — if any — chance of beating them. When that little chance exists, all you need is a little push in the right direction, and that’s where this guide comes in!

In this guide, we’ll help you battle through each boss, from our old pal Derrick to start things off, through the infamous Giant Toad, to the final Oda Nobunaga boss battle.
