10 Hardest Video Game Achievements Of 2020 (So Far)
8. Nioh 2 – Mystic Arts
It can’t all be speedruns and infinite ammo, though. Nioh 2 is the first, but certainly not last, entry on our list to require a grind. Though, that isn’t to imply the rest of the game's achievements are easy. Nioh 2, an ultra-hard Souls-like, requires you to fight handfuls of bosses and extremely tough enemies in order to progress. Then, when you’re done, why not say hello to new game plus.
Mystic arts isn’t a single achievement but a set of achievements. A slight cheat of an entry but any achievement hunter grinding for one will likely be going for them all.
There are nine weapons to gain a mystic art in, and two abilities.
Each weapon requires 120,000 proficiency, helpfully reduced from 180,000 in an update. While the abilities require 200,000 and 250,000 each. It’s a grind, lads, but that’s the price you pay for completion.
As with many games that offer level ups and progressive abilities, there is the previously mentioned new game plus. Many guides suggest utilising new game plus in order to find more efficient ways to grind for your exp.
Regardless, you’re looking at hours of killing with each weapon and ability.
