New Picture Scrolls have been added. These scrolls feature the enemies and bosses of The Tengu’s Disciple. You can get these scrolls from the Dreams of the Demon.

Nioh 2 Update 1.14 Patch Notes

Additional Content

• Added Picture Scrolls which contain enemies and bosses from “The Tengu’s Disciple.” These “Scroll of the Demon” Picture Scrolls can be acquired in Dream of the Demon.

Balance Adjustments

• Adjusted the equipment dropped by enemies in the Dream of the Demon, as follows:
  • Increased the rate of occurrence of Special Effects which does not appear when using the Temper feature at the Blacksmith.
  • Increased the minimum value for the randomly determined Special Effects to make it easier for the maximum value to appear. (No changes have been made to the maximum value itself.)
• Adjusted the Splitstaff skill, “Seesaw Strike” so that it more easily hit enemies when activated following a second Quick Attack from High Stance.
• Special Effects available during Yokai Shift are now activated when performing a grapple after a successful Burst Counter.
• The Special Effect, “Deflect Bullets & Arrows (Timely Guard),” is now able to deflect some other projectiles. (The deflectable attacks are same as the Switchglaive skill, “Whirling Blade,” and the Onmyo Magic skill, “Gust Talisman.”)
• Decreased the Amrita and gold rewards from Bakegani and Nuppeppo.
• Increased the Amrita and gold rewards from Bosses in The Tengu’s Disciple.
