basic/standard attack him into a corner & spam the fire debuff w.e spell on him P1 & P2 Is basically L2Parry.
It's freaking fantastic when companies throwdown demo's that highlight the game's strengths and attach some meat to'em.

Enemies (from demo perspective) didn't have a stupid amount of health & the system in place says you can either go all out in combat or play In some sort of reserved manner.

I beat the first boss in the demo. I basically leveled up to 10 or so levels, wore the best gear including leveling up my spirit to 25. I went in & stayed on the first boss spamming attacks & he went down in less than 30 seconds & then took down the second phase in less than a minute.

Its brutal if you don't realise you must parry to beat him and even once you figure that put its still hard.

In saying that, it's the perfect way to set you up for success for the rest of the game.

Rather than make the game easy at the start with players not having to learn to parry then bam all of a sudden you have settled on bad habits and didn't learn that early ur screwed. So in hindsight it was very smart but brutal way to initiate new players.

Difficulty is starting to ramp up again, I was cruising those first 5 or 6 levels and now stuck on a boss I just can't get the timing down.

Baishe the female snake thing, gave her a few cracks and never got close.

She doesn't often go for the unblockable moves which I usually wait for to get in some cheaps hit till I can land a critical blow.

Timing up close is hard to catch.

I couldn't beat that boss at first either & I tried 4 times. I took 2 reinforcements with me, grinded until all 3 of our spirit levels were 25 & took the boss out in 1 minute. Making sure you stay on top of the boss, if you keep distance the boss will keep damaging you with range attacks which can cause your demise especially when you can't deflect all the incoming attacks something I'm still trying to learn how to time. Spirit level at 25 & staying close while attacking has been working for me. I've used that method staying in close & getting behind the boss while attacking in Bloodborne, DS 3 & Elden Ring.

Flawlessmic434d ago

Cheers bud might have to grind out and raise morale as I think I'm only at like 8 atm which matches up with the boss but yea clearly not enough.

Elda434d ago

Raise that morale/spirit to 25 & you'll see the difference. When you're at 25 your defense & offense are way up, you can inflict a lot of damage when attacking the boss, especially with a great weapon that has a lot of high damage including having the right gear on for defense.

RavenWolfx434d ago

Baishe was fairly difficult, especially since I focus Poison and that doesn't do much to her. However, Lu Bu has been the hardest boss I have fought so far. You basically can't attack when you want, you can only wait and parry, then attack a couple times, then back off.

My whole problem with this is why not let us perfect the parry in training by just focusing on individual training aspects. That part of the training goes by so fast you never really work on it, then you have to do the whole training module over again.

It's easy if you quit raging and start thinking

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Has Finally Surpassed 5 Million Players Worldwide

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has now crossed the famed 5 million player threshold globally, as announced by the developers on Twitter.

Elda59d ago (Edited 58d ago )

If it's saying 5 million players, most of those players are most likely playing through Gamepass especially when the game has only sold a little over a million copies.

Inverno58d ago

So this is gaming now? Counting how many people have bothered to start the game?

ThePacemaker58d ago

Just to please the shareholders.

Wo long was pretty lacking after nioh 2.... Here's hoping rise of the Ronin doesn't continue the trend

X-2358d ago (Edited 58d ago )

I have to be honest, I bought Wo Long because Nioh 2 was so good and thought it would be as good as said game. I ended up fairly disappointed in the end, Nioh 2 was much better. Perhaps if they make a sequel they will knock it out of the park though as this was somewhat the story with Nioh 1's progression into 2.

Interestingly, for streaming metrics, it is not if you started a show/series...what matters most is that finish it.
