Nioh 2, the prequel to 2017's Nioh, takes us back to the Sengoku period of Japan. This time, you play as Hidechiyo, a half-yokai (demon) whose appearance and gender is up to you. After customizing your character to your liking, you set off on a journey across Japan, honing your yokai skills and defeating hostile yokai. You'll occasionally receive "Soul Cores" from the enemies that you kill, which will grant and strengthen your yokai abilities.
This game, too, is set from a third-person perspective. In combat, you switch between different stances depending on the type of enemy you're playing against, as well as a "ghost stance" that makes you invincible for a short period of time. Throughout the map, you'll find various Shinto shrines (similar to Black Myth's Keeper's Shrines) that grant you various buff charms and Inari shrines, which will increase the number of buff charms you can have equipped.
The story of Black Myth Wukong happens after Journey to the West , with the heavens once again sending their armies against the Monkey King. Once more, it is Erlang Shen, the mightiest warrior of heaven and earth, who manages to defeat the mon
Now that the Destined One has the Golden Headband, they too are subdued and unable to stand against the heavenly kingdom. The elder monkey might have been an agent of the heavens all along , ensuring that Wukong remains fully sea
The Non-Pure set is perfect if you love to use either or both of these abilities frequently. If you have two pieces equipped, you'll get mud stains for a short while after leaving a Spirit attack or de-transforming that will increase your damage reduction. With four pieces, you'll increase your might recovery when covered in mud stains while also getting more might for dodging successfu
As far as lore goes, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will take you to Japan's Sengoku period, where you play Wolf, a shinobi whose duty is to protect his lord. Many of the creatures you'll face off against in Sekiro are inspired by yokai -- supernatural creatures and entities in Japanese mythology. There are also multiple locations in Sekiro that pay tribute to historic Japanese landmarks, like the Senpou Temple, based on the Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple in Kyoto.
Upon arriving at the bottom , you will find Yellow Wind Sage standing in a battle arena within a large sandstorm. As the final boss of Chapter 2, you will require a carefully curated battle strategy and adequate preparation to take this boss down and progress your playthro
The moment the Stone Vanguard starts knocking on the ground, you know this is coming, but that won't help you much, as there is no distance where you are safe. You are simply going to have to dodge each golem as they leap at you, and then the Stone Vanguard itself at the end.
The Spell gives you the ability to solidify the body like a rock, to parry incoming attacks, at the cost of Mana . Other than this feature, there is no other way for players to block or parry in Black Myth: Wukong , making this one of the most useful Spells to
Unlike many of the other games on this list, Elden Ring can also be played cooperatively: you can summon friends to help you defeat bosses or engage in PvP combat against other players. If you found yourself playing Black Myth Wukong bosses Myth: Wukong and thinking "this would be great to play with friends," then Elden Ring may be the perfect choice.
There are many Spells that players can use against Yellow Wind Sage, but the best one is Rock Solid . This Alteration Spell can be acquired by defeating the Tiger Vanguard, who you may have already confronted if you arrived at the Yellow Wind Formation via the Crouching Tiger Temple. If not, it is well worth backtracking to gain and equip
There is, however, one thing the Destined One doesn’t inherit: the Golden Headband . This head accessory simply falls to the ground, but it is picked up by the elder monkey from the beginning of the game, and he places it on the head of the Destined
I feel like I already tipped my hand in the previous sections, but the Stone Vanguard is another boss that you will want to attack the booty of. At range, he will apply too much pressure for you to be particularly effective, not to mention he may pounce on you at any moment. His golem-summoning attack is definitely his most potent ability, and he is more likely to use it when you are distant.
From the creators of Nioh (also mentioned on this list), Rise of the Ronin is set in the mid-19th century, during the Bakumatsu era of Japan's history. History is heavily intertwined throughout the game: in your journey, you visit cities like Yokohama, Kyoto and Edo as they appeared during this time period, and you fight with weapons that include katanas and authentic Boshin war firearms. You'll meet the faces of several political factions -- including the Sabaku, pro-shogunate; Tobaku, anti-shogunate; and Obei, western forces -- and your choices to side with or fight against members of these parties will influence the way your story plays out.
