Hey guys. Been messing around with the Nioh 2 save in advanced mode and have discoverd most of the values for the equipment modifiers (ie Item Drop Rate vs. Yokai, Imbue Fire, Unlimited Ninjutsu, etc.) I've posted a link to a Google sheet below with most of my research. There is a step by step tutorial below. I'll try to make it more clear as time goes on, but for now, this is it.
Here is what a basic effect looks like in Advanced moe:
GENERAL FORMAT OF ITEM EFFECTS[/u]
aa aa aa aa bb bb bb bb xx xx cc xx
LIFE +44 EXAMPLE:
D8 BF 00 00 2C 00 00 00 2F 73 02 00
EMPTY EFFECTS SLOT SET:
FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
UNLIMITED NINJUTSU 100%:
28 02 00 00 E8 03 00 00 2F 73 02 00
For example, if you have a piece of armor that has Life +44, you would see the following in the code:
D8 BF 00 00 2C 00 00 00 2F 73 02 00
The aa part is [D8BF0000] which is "Life"
The bb part is [2C000000] which is 44 in decimal. You can set this to ridiculously high values.
The xc part is [2F730200] which doesn't seem to matter except the '02' digit controls icon.
So what you would do is try to find that in your hex editor of choice, then edit the effect type to what you want, and change the value to something appropriate. With these codes you can easily give yourself so much life, ki, and toughness that you're essentially invincible. You can also have unlimited bullets, ninjutsu, and onmyo magic. You can even add effects to the blank slots by replacing the empty data set with the code. The footer section [xx xx cc xx] is mostly irrelevant, but be sure to make cc=02.
Also note that some item effects are percentages with a single decimal point, so 100% is 100.0% in the game, and this is '1000' as far as the data is concerned, and 1000 in hex is 03E8, and in Little Endian for our purposes its E803. So to make a percentage based effect (ulimited magic, unlimited projectiles, etc.) always trigger, you make it 1000... 100.0%, or E803. I hope that makes sense.
If you've any experience at all in hex editing this sheet should be plenty to get you started. As a bonus, it seems the armor, weapon, and yokai effect IDs work on any type of equipment, although it would be useless to imbue some gloves with fire.
Here is a link to the Google Sheet listing what I've found so far:

1 - Does this still work on 1.08?
2 - Can you still edit the save after you've updated to 1.07 to make changes to the soul cores? Or do you need to come from a previous version of the save?
3 - One thing i've noticed is that the soul core that is loaded into your guardian spirit will keep its values, but if you remove it and put it back again you lose them. So you only edit a soul core that is already loaded into a guardian spirit?
1. Haven't updated to v1.08 yet, I would say just stay on whatever version you are right now to play it safe, not the most helpful answer I know.
2. You edit the v1.07 save directly, coming from a previous save most likely will just undo all the edits made beforehand (unless you already edited attuned cores?).
3. Yeah it's rather annoying, even just swapping between guardian spirits using r1 + l2 mid-mission will reset the values, and dying with two guardian spirits attuned may also reset the values. For these reasons, only attune ONE guardian spirit when using this method. Also, yes, you're only editing the soul cores already attuned to your main guardian spirit.
actually swapping the guardian wont reset the modified soul core, I swap them often. but you have to wait few seconds until the guardian is charged for soul core to take in affect. you can even unequip the guardian and re-equip and it will not reset. i know since i had to change my guardian from feral to brute, then i swapped back and my modified core didn't change. what you can't do is, re-equipping the modified soul core back into the same guardian or unequipping it. doing these will reset the value to what the actual core value is. my guess is if you alter the original core by fusing or destroying will remove the modified one also, but i have not tested it.
if some one finds out or can test to see if the soul core cheat works in v. 1.08, that would be great.

Hi guys I am new in the advanced mode. I play nioh for a long time now. And recently I started to make some changes very effective. But yesterday after a long hex editing. My save just start to not save correctly. I saved the game but the progress is not saving. Has anyone seen this type of error before? I just finished NG and I am pretty faraway into the way of the strong. Any tips what is happening or what I sould do? Thanks for now guys!
PS: I am playing the game since the launch. 1.08 current version
