Look what the cat dragged in: easy mode

Even at the best of times,Nioh 2remains a very difficult action-RPG. There’s rarely any time for respite, as nasty demons will go out of their way to rip you to shreds. In this cruel, cruel world there is one beacon of hope, though. And it is cats. Rotund cats, that’ll follow you around and smack enemies for you. Turns out, that if you surround yourself with three felines, you’ll be totally unstoppable.

You can see the brave felines in action for yourself down below. Spoiler warning!

On their lonesome, these cats aren’t exactly anything special. They’ll do a bit of “ki damage”, and barely dent an enemy’s purple ki bar. This is effectively a posture meter, so once it’s reduced to zero an enemy will be briefly rendered vulnerable and unable to retaliate.

This makes it far easier for poslepoludyna to get the boss to a vulnerable state, and unleash a world of hurt. Despite being severely underlevelled, the rolly-cats ensured it was largely a breeze.

Having struggled with a number of bosses in Nioh 2, I will be adopting this strategy moving forwards. I too, will be unbeatable.
