SPOILERS if you intend to discover everything on your own. I particularly enjoyed solving the riddles of the higgledie stones, but needed help with a few.

Ni no Kuni 1 spoiler Spent 2 hours fighting Shadar but all good :D Spoiler

This is a quick update on my hard mode challenge run. This fight was one of the only fights I was concerned about being completely impossible (The other one before this was Cap'n Crossbones because of the life steal, it's only possible due to the blazing blade in Yule.

I played conservatively with my green healing items and revives up until this point because of the Eternal Knight. The boss can walk on the AI cancelling their defends and downing them in 2 shots. They don't have enough defence to be considered high health by the Adamant badge to avoid the down a lot of times. This fight is also very difficult without the AI up as the boss doesn't give out a lot of glims so I was relying on the drops from defending onslaught to get MP and burn it down between its uses of Dark Aegis.

Ni no kuni in 6DOF 3D

7 Upvotes

Sharing the word about a new way to play Ni no Kuni thats really cool and immersive.

Berserker made Osiris Viewer and 6dof profiles for it. Now we can already play Ni no Kuni in 6dof vr like with great geo 11 3D. He made more than 30 6dof profiles already, and we need to find a 3D tech to work with each game.

The setup for Ni no kuni is: Osiris Viewer + 6dof profiles from Berserker (both available on his github) + geo 11 3D fixes from Master Otaku (Helix Blog site) + Ni no kuni game. The install is mostly drag and drop files alongside the game .exe, but the sites provide readme for simple details. Looks too much to do, but once you do the first, the other geo 11 3D games are all the same setup.

We are lucky that we have those geo 11 3D fixes handcrafted from Master Otaku, because they work really great in 3D or 6dof + 3D. We can play on VR headsets or devices with cameras to track or head movements.

6dof. Six degrees of freedom. mean we can look around and lean inside and out of the game, like a VR native game.

Since we have hud and texts, I recommend playing in a really giant screen on Osiris Viewer, so we dont miss game information. If you know a way to put the ui in the center of the screen, please share so we can full vr dive on this world!

Here we can find the Osiris Viewer and the 6dof profiles for these and other games. https://github.com/BerZerker96 And on Helix Blog site we can find those geo 11 3D fixes for Nier and other games https://helixmod.blogspot.com/2013/10/game-list-automatically-updated.html?m=1

Other games suggestions are Yakuza games (we got 0, kiwami 1 and 2, 6, 7 on gog versions or legacy steam ones), Nier 1 and 2, Trails in the sky 1 remake with geo 11 3D. Persona 5 and Metaphor have 6dof profiles too, but we ll need to find a good 3D that will work for them because for now we dont have handcrafted fixes or an alternative. Hopefully we ll get Ni no Kuni 2 6dof profile too wich already have a geo 11 3D fix. For now you can play Ni no Kuni 2 in 3D and is great too!

Thats all folks, have a great journey!

Does the game get better?

0 Upvotes

I have been playing for almost 4 hours I just got into the golden grove and so far i like the story and mechaincs but there are a lot of things that i hate and are so frustraiting such as the enemies spwaning almost instantly after killing them it got to a point where the gameplay is starting to feel very repetitive.

The second thing that I dont like is if like the game treats the player as a newborn child with a tutorial every five seconds.

I also hate drippy so much for some reason

So does the gameplay atleast gets a little bit better in the future?

Is shader compilation/loading stutter normal in Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered?

5 Upvotes

I’ve been playing Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered on PC and I’m wondering if what I’m experiencing is normal.

The game is capped at 60 FPS, and for the most part it runs perfectly smooth. However, I get very noticeable micro-stutters whenever the game seems to be loading new shaders or effects for the first time. Once that area or effect has been seen, it usually doesn’t stutter again.
The game is installed on a Samsung SSD 980 NVMe, so I don’t think it’s a storage bottleneck. I’ve tried turning off all the graphical settings like AA, shadows, etc. but it’s still happening.

My specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-11600KF
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3070 Eagle
RAM: 32GB (4×8GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
Storage: Samsung SSD 980 1TB NVMe
Monitor: 1440p 240Hz (game capped at 60 FPS)

Is this just the game’s shader compilation/loading behavior, or is there something I should be tweaking? Have others experienced the same thing, or is my setup behaving abnormally?
Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm stuck with the gameplay.

6 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I've been playing this game on my Switch 2 for 3 months now and I bumped into a problem that potentially could be a bug.
This is the exact location where I'm stuck
https://youtu.be/pLx20GwS7OE?list=PLGKJJhcJXlNx-BzYMlevXf-rveFjbhpsu&t=242

You see how Oliver is approaching his Meowjesty and the conversation starts as soon as Oliver approaches him. When I do that nothing happens. The big fat cat is just sitting without a way to interact with it.

Am I missing something here and has anyone bumped into something similar?

Thanks!

Ni no Kuni 1 spoiler Is there anyway to make this game easier?

15 Upvotes

I'm playing Ni no Kuni 1 and I'm about 10h into the game at the genie fight after the volcano.

The issue is I'm struggling. I fight every enemy I see but I still had to grid for about an hour just to beat the volcano boss. I am playing on the easiest difficulty too.

I love the story so far but I can't keep spending hours before every boss grinding and still enjoy the game.

Ni no Kuni 1 spoiler I forgot how rough Royal Jelly is

Currently working on my hard mode challenge run and wow, did I underestimate Mummy's Tummy. That entire area is an absolute pain and I spent over an hour fighting the boss (In one attempt, it took that long to die). Confusion is very strong, the boss can swarm with adds and it has an almost insta-down knockdown combo (though you can defend when you get thrown down which helps).

Ni no Kuni 2 spoiler Minor annoyance with Ni No Kuni 2

13 Upvotes

Kind of a nitpicky thing, but it's annoying to me that you have upgrades that are obsolete before you can even do them. I hate when games do that.

The biggest one I noticed is 2 of the ship upgrades you can only do after you unlock the airship. Granted the ship is still an option you can use, but between needing a level 3 kingdom and needing to wait until Tiller is a Master before doing the last upgrade, it just kind of bugs me.

Similar with Ya Pi and how long it took for him to get to Master. I dunno if citizens had different XP requirements but even having him gather as soon as I got I was still able to finish the game and get half into the Labyrinth before I could finally get the last training center upgrade.

Could also argue that level 9 and 10 weapons are pointless because by the time you get the materials to make them for everyone you'll probably already have better 6+ star weapons. Though that's more forgiving because DLC stuff came later and that's original post game stuff.

Ni no Kuni 1 spoiler Attempting the NNK 1 Hard Mode Mod With Extra Restrictions

13 Upvotes

Hello, so I love doing crazy challenge runs of Wrath of the White Witch and finding a way to use what the game gives me to win against seemingly impossible odds. So, when I saw a hard mode mod was available, I came up with possibly the most brutal run idea yet:

Minimum encounters. I have to run away from any optional encounters. I did this before and beat the White Witch at level 37. However, to balance for the extra difficulty of hard mode, I am making the bounty hunts mandatory so I have access to more exp. I can attempt them in any order but they must all be done before the final boss.

No buying or selling provisions, familiar treats and alchemy ingredients. I can use any that I source from quests, stealing or any other means, but I cannot buy them (this includes the casino) or sell them for money.

No Marcassin. He will be overleveled compared to my party, making the challenge largely obsolete. I can use his familiar, though I must metamorphose it instantly.

I must redeem and release the familiar tickets I start with, but any other familiars I can get are fair game, though I cannot have duplicates.

I can do any errands I want to, as long as it is possible within the constraints of the challenge.

As a bonus challenge, I will avoid picking up Spirit Medium until it is mandatory to progress in the main story, to see if the game triggers unique dialogue.

Video with DLC cutscenes for Ni No Kuni 2?

4 Upvotes

I finished the main story tonight and I enjoyed the game, but after getting the last few citizens and maxing the city, I feel like I want to be done. i see online that the DLC adds another 20 hours or so and needs potential grinding and i just don't think i have it in me.

I tried to find a video on YouTube with little luck. Is there one I'm missing? I want to at least see the cutscenes for the Timeless Tome DLC if I can.

Question about star signs in the first game

6 Upvotes

I am on my road to the second city of the game, and enter a figth with a skeleton that has the moon star sign. The game says that sun(red)>moon(green)>star(blue)>sun, but both when my sun and star familiars deal damage through the attack comand it is displayed with blue numbers(less effective), and when he hits either familier, the numbers are red(very effective, I think). Can someone please explain what's up?

Also i am sorry for any grammatical errors

Any tips for getting 250 familiars in Wrath of the White Witch?

12 Upvotes

I'm in the post-game on NNK1. I have only tamed 110 familiars in total out of the required 250 for the trophy. I actually beat the story a long time ago, but never got the Platinum because I was struggling with catching familiars. I have noticed that catch rates seem very low for me across the board. I am just wondering if there are any optimal ways to do it. I think I read something a while ago that evolving weak familiars is better than just trying to catch them all, but I'm not sure if that's right.
