Along with The Tengu’s Disciple DLC being available, a new update is live for Team Ninja’s Nioh 2. The former brings several new story missions, a new difficulty setting called “Dream of the Demon”, new Guardian Spirits and a new weapon called the Splitstaff. So what does update 1.11 offer free for all players?
To start with, it adds a new feature called the Demon Parade Picture Scroll. These will drop from enemies in New Game Plus aka Dream of the Strong difficulty. Upon acquiring the item, Picture Scroll Missions can be played – clearing them will let you equip Demon Parade Picture Scrolls to become stronger. How does this work? You’ll need to find out for yourself.
Along with Dream of the Strong enemies dropping these items, you can also acquire them from Bloody Graves and other players via multiplayer. If you want to tackle Picture Scroll Missions with allies, this can be done in Expedition Mode. In addition to this, new Ninja and Onmyo Magic skills have been added along with new hairstyles, body and facial markings in the character creator.
Check out the full update notes in the tweet below for more details. Nioh 2: The Tengu’s Disciple is included with the $19.99 Season Pass but can also be purchased for $9.99 separately.
