(+) Yeah! (+)

I feel like it's not a good sign that I'm dying a lot in this first tutorial part. I know it's supposed to be a hard game, but I get the feeling that I'm going to be doing an awful lot of dying. Without spoiling anything, is there anything useful I should know as a beginner?

Hmm. I just have generic combat tips. But focus on the ki pulse. It clears those yokai clouds.

Heres a good article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2017/02/10/ten-things-i-wish-i-knew-when-i-started-nioh/#1cdc1a191163

Ouch. After seeing some success against the first few generic enemies, I got my ass handed to me like 5 times by some random revenant with a spear. I liked it. Felt better than the dumb as nails enemies I've been facing so far.

well, they've nerfed a lot since the game came out. That being said, there are some skills you can invest in that can make some things easier:

I forget what everything is called but there are several spells/ninja skills you can pop that will make you invisible and run quickly. You'll be able to move through levels without fighting a lot of enemies. I was never really into this, but it is an option. Second, you can sloth a boss and pop carnage and weakness and the other talismans that make you do more damage, and most bosses will crumble very quickly on basic difficulty.

Also, this is a big one i had to learn. This is not dark souls. Don't try to i-frame everything. Block is very strong in this game, especially if you are running heavy armour.
