#3: Jewel Knuckles (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)
Not the best weapon in the game — that honor goes to the Crissaegrim, a rare drop from the Schmoo enemies in the Forbidden Library that completely trivializes the rest of the game. The Jewel Knuckles aren’t that OP, but if you get them earlier using a simple trick, you’ll be downing every enemy in the game in just a punch or two.
Normally the item can only be obtained after getting Mist Form. Well, you can grab it early with a secret method. Go to Outer Wall and get through the Armor Lord on the path above. Punch through the cracked wall ahead, and wait 20 seconds for a hidden lift to take you down. This is one secret every SOTN player needs to know about.
#4: Sloth Jutsu (Nioh)
The bosses in Nioh are fast and strong — until you acquire the all-powerful Sloth Jutsu spell. This is one of the most OP abilities in any game, and it’s an infamous non-exploit that literally any player can use to make the game way easier. The Sloth Jutsu is a special talisman you can unlock and equip that slows down any effected enemy.
And yes, it works on bosses. It works on anything, and it works way too well. A similar ability can be unlocked in Nioh 2, but it isn’t nearly as effective this time around. If you’re ever replaying Nioh 1 and wany to just breeze through the bosses, get this spell early.
