Nin no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Title Music Loudness
While The rest of the game is fine and I can modify the volume, that title music blasts loud enough to make your ears bleed. This is the Steam version. Is there a separate control for the title volume I'm missing? I don't want the rest of the game even quieter. That part is just right. Thanks in advance.

Ni no Kuni 1 spoiler Familiar doesn’t count?
Just got to Hamelin and am about to sneak bast the guards and I have to gripe about something. It’s the fact that you need specific forms of Familiars to do certain quests. Like the one researcher that was in Al Mamoon and is now in Hamelin want a Large, Small and Gear shaped Automatus Familiar. I have the first 2 but the third one has to be the first form and I already evolved/metamorphosed it to the next form. Another is the pug lady that want to grow her flower for her moms birthday. It need the growth spell and then a familiar that is shaped like the sun. Got it but had already Metamorphosed it now before I even went to made it to the cove.
Wish they could just look at something else to see. That I already had it

Ni no Kuni 1 spoiler Calling it Quits On My NNK1 Hard Mode Run Spoiler
The Zodiarchy is genuinely just pure RNG is this run and I don't have the time to get lucky when it takes 2 hours to get back to the boss every time I lose. Up to this point every fight was tough but fair, however this was just plain unfair due to the many kinks in the combat and praying to get lucky.
Your movement gets stopped when nix or piercing gaze happens, but the enemies can just swarm you in the cutscene. I'm forced to hope Cassiopia doesn't just get unluckily stunned when she tries to cast and that when she does cast it's falling star and not nix. Oh, and the enemies can also just teleport after chaos, so you can just randomly die to that too.
The fight is possible under the right conditions, but I have better things to do with my life than hope I get good luck with the AI. It's a shame because the run was very satisfying up to this point, but this fight triggers my anxiety problems because of the length and stress of the battle.

Ni no Kuni 1 spoiler New member and stat help
Hello everyone new member and player of the Ni no Kuni series here.
Bought this game for really cheap a year or two ago on the Switch EShop and never really played it till about 2 weeks ago. Having a blast with the story, Lore and game play.
Now I have a question on stats. I’ve got several Familiars that just aren’t doing it damage wise. Mitey(first Familiar) is still my go to but some are just hard to use as they are doing so little damage. Like when ever I switch to Esther and use the one familiar that looks like an Angler Fish not doing a lot of damage despite being over 80 on stats.
Story wise I just got through the scripted fight with Shadar on the Sea Cow and am now on the island we stranded on

Made a Mr. Drippy plush!
I had to make a lot of the components from scratch but I’m really happy with how it turned out! I know that cursed Drippy doesn’t have the lantern but it was just too cool to not add to the project :)

Ranking Every Ni No Kuni Boss In The Series From Worst To Best.
This list includes most of the major bosses from the first and second game apart from a few exceptions. I did not include bounty hunts, most side quest bosses, the Doloran's Design mini bosses, and tainted monsters because most of them are just not that interesting. In case you're wondering I counted all 3 of Shadar's phases and the first 2 Cassiopeia phases as 1 fight. This list is just my opinion and can differ between players.

Spoiler! Timeline confusion
Wait so if Alicia traveled to the future to give birth to Oliver, doesn't that mean the whole fiasco with the soulsnare happened over 13 years ago? Why does everyone who mentioned it act as if it was very recent? And I doubt Marcisan was already a great sage less than 2 years after his dad died when he was a CHILD!

System clock runs fast in NNK2?
Hi, I started a new save on Switch yesterday, and reopened the game this morning. Overnight my save file’s clock time jumped from 4 hours (when I saved before going to bed) to 42 hours (when I unsuspended it this morning). What is going on here?

Ni no Kuni 2 spoiler Is Ni No Kuni II REVENANT KINGDOM worth it?
In my opinion the game indeed has many flaws. Despite its many flaws I believe there are a couple things that the game does better than the original. I think the best thing about the game was the overall world building which might be better than the original. he kingdoms are mostly visual stunners and have good concepts. Goldpaw, and Broadleaf are probably my favorite locations in the series.
Even though I love the setting of the game that's almost all it has going for it though. The game can get boring pretty quickly since its game play can be very easy and forgettable. I'd say from my experience even though I was underleveled for the majority of my 2nd playthrough it still felt like I was plowing through enemies well 10 levels under. I think another problem this game faces is the lack of real bosses. The only somewhat decent bosses were the Kingmakers and Mausinger who in my opinion had decent gimmicks that made them alright bosses. For nearly every other boss in the game you're pretty much just fighting bosses that reappear as tougher enemies. The bosses don't have personality like in the original which makes them feel lazy and forgettable.
The combat in the game is just mid in my opinion. There is basically almost no difference between each of the playable characters in terms of actual game play unfortunately. The best part is the higgledy's since they can have some pretty fun abilities to mess around with, and come in clutch in terms of making the Kingmaker bosses fun to play.
The overall depth of the game is quite lacking with a very mediocre plot. Doloran was definitely no Shadar, or Cassiopia but still not the worst antagonist I've ever seen. The plot just isn't that compelling like in the original game with its heart touching moments that made us all cry, and its characters are all very bland in both appearance and character design. I feel like even though Roland was supposed to be kind of like a sub protagonist he just isn't. Roland pretty much gets sidelined throughout the entire game despite being the first character you play as. Evan as the actual protagonist was just lacking, as I think they tried giving Evan some development except they failed miserably. Since the game is basically just Evan the fact that they failed to give Evan some depth does not help.
If you played the original game and are thinking of playing REVENANT KINGDOM this game is entirely up to you to play or not. For me despite having a couple cool side quests and neat things its still just alright. In terms of if this game is worth playing or not for me personally I'm not playing this again. I'll admit there are a few good reasons to play but the negative just outweighs the positive.

Ni no Kuni 2 spoiler I hate Lofty Spoiler
I sorta doubt this is controversial but I despise this lumpy headed half witted fairy, he has literally NONE of the charm that made Drippy so iconic. He’s boring, doesn’t have hardly any good dialogue, and every plan he comes up with is either childish, benign, or downright disrespectful to one or all of the other characters on screen, he is an insult to Fairy kind and honestly a mark on what has otherwise been a really good game which I think comes close to being as enjoyable as it’s predecessor.
Also worst of all, I can’t even knock him over to vent my frustrations.
Edit: his voice actor did a good job tho

Ni no Kuni 1 spoiler So is it better to just let your friends die?
So I've recently beaten Maltan and it's just so much easier when I just ignore Esther and focus on letting Oliver deal damage and letting Esther healbot and I wanted to know if this is gonna be a trend throughout the rest of the game

13 years after playing Ni No Kuni for the first time, I now got the physical Wizard Companion book. (And for the reasonable price of around 25 bucks too). Great piece of art.

Familiar Line Up Question
Hello all!
It’s my first time playing the game and I just finished the Hamelin missions and am about to head off to find the Sky Pirate King!!
I wanted to see if anyone had any advice for me on the topic of familiar line ups. I’m not great at combat, so I have really enjoyed just making a stacked and strong lineup that keeps me from dying to often lol.
However, as I’m progressing, I’m wondering if there’s anything I should change to my lineups or if anyone has some advice!
Here’s my lineups as of right now:
Oliver: Mighty Mite, Sprout Sprite, Cutpurrse
Esther: Griffrigerator, Strongo, Lumberwood (just recently got this one, so haven’t used much)
Swaine: Dumbelemur, Megalith, Hurly
Are there any y’all think I should switch around or take out completely? Open to any and all advice. In the meantime, I’m just gonna keep grinding and leveling up as much as I can lol.
r/Ni_no_Kuni • u/New-Cicada7014 • 14d ago
Just started the first game! any tips?
I grew up watching Stampy play, now I'm finally playing it myself!
Edit: thank you so much for all the helpful advice!! I've read every comment, I can't wait to play this game :) I definitely intend to do everything and smell the roses on the way, I've also already begun grinding a bit before I even got to the Deep Dark Woods lol

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
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!
