In the challenging world of Nioh 3, players have faced a frustrating issue where their healing elixirs became unusable during combat. Fortunately, Team Ninja is addressing this problem in the latest patch.

Among the patch notes, Team Ninja has acknowledged the elixir issue: “Partially fixed an issue that sometimes made it impossible to use elixirs during battle.” This is a welcome relief for players who have suffered defeats in tough encounters due to the inability to heal.

The confirmation of the elixir bug’s existence has sparked discussions within the community, with some players claiming to have experienced similar issues in the previous Nioh games, albeit infrequently. The fact that the fix is only partial suggests that the underlying problem may be more complex, presenting a challenge for the developers.

In addition to the elixir fix, the patch notes for Nioh 3 also mention partial fixes for other game-crashing bugs, with one specific glitch related to deflection being fully resolved. Given that the game has only been out for a week, it’s encouraging to see these stability issues being addressed so promptly.

Team Ninja has also tackled another issue where players were unable to switch melee weapons while locked onto a target. This patch is packed with quality-of-life improvements, making it a great time to revisit Nioh 3 if you had stepped away due to minor frustrations. Healing should be back on the table now!
