1. How to play multiplayer with the Torii portal
2. How to play multiplayer with Ochoko cups

If you have purchased Nioh 2 and you are wondering how to play multiplayer, Then you have come to the correct place. If you haven't played the previous chapter, you may have a hard time understanding how to play multiplayer in Nioh 2 and what are the differences between the various modes.

In Nioh 2 there is no invitation system but the multiplayer game takes place via the Torii Portal and the Ochoko Cups.

How to play multiplayer with the Torii portal

Unlike the previous chapter, the Torii portal is available immediately from the game map, just go to Start point and select the appropriate item. From this mode you can:

• Playing in the Shipping
• Playing in the Casual Encounters

In the first case, you can create a game or join one in progress, viewing the mission, the players with the corresponding level, prepare yourself before taking the field and consult other information, while in the second case you will enter a random game.

In both cases, however, you can only play the unlocked missions for the secondary ones, while for the primary you will have to complete them. The Shipping allow you to reserve the game only for Friends or who knows the password, or make it open to everyone.

The main difference between the two modes lies in the fact that in Shipping you will have a blue bar shared with other players, at the death of each player the bar decreases and once emptied it is gameover, so in Expeditions you have a certain number of re-entries.

In Casual encounters however, when you or the host dies, the game ends. In both modes you keep everything you have collected, while as regards the experience only partially.

How to play multiplayer with Ochoko cups

We now come to the second method for play online in Nioh 2, that is the tazze Ochoko. Contrary to the first chapter, the cups in Nioh 2 they are much more generous and easier to find, and you can also buy them.

Mugs work like this:

1. Start a mission
2. Interact with the Sanctuary
3. Go toEvocation
4. Donate a cup or two depending on the number of players you want in the game

At this point you just have to wait. Mugs can both be found around and to buy from Kodama Bazaar, interacting with the Sanctuary and going up Offer and then Bazaar.

Keep in mind, however, if the summoned player dies or if you lose your life yourself, the cup used for the summoning will be lost, unless no one has entered the game, also with this method the difficulty is lower than the Torii portal, consequently the enemies will be less aggressive and fewer in number.
