did you worship Madame's feet today, anon?
I'm starting Ng+ now, which spells are worth using? I didn't bother with any my first run except that Dhutanga circle fire thing for situational aoe stagger
>>717168267Echo spells are good because they get cheap with a talent (minus one charge per spell); then echo of Lu Bingzhang in particular shines as it has alacrity.
Other than that the fireball spell is another fat damage dealer, and burn is a nice added damage -although not significant mostly-.
Then you have the invisibility and shield ones.
Everything else is mostly meh but that might be my bias, as I generally don't even bother with spells that lack alacrity.
>>717168346Any opinions on the one handed swords? That one the final boss dropped seems kinda neat
>>717168424Haven't finished the game so can't say, i'm just spamming Evasive Maneuver with the initial one-hander.
>>717168424I created a retard build with it and killed every NG+ boss:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWwDqIANO1Y
Although the sword isnt really important here but the Bo Magus op spell is.
>>717168626oh and also: the sword skill "Sacrifice" is pretty bad but it can actually stagger unlike most 1H swords attacks.
Finished it earlier today after palying the whole game with spears and mainly as a souls, didnt really delve a lot on spells other than for some ranged dmg when the boss flew across the room.
Really enjoyed it, not as good as a souls as LoP but close.
Will run it on NG+ once DLC or whatever releases, other than that i dont see myself running it again without new content, im just in these games for the bosses 's panties
>>717168267Ethereal form - auto dodge, very good
Echo of Bo Magus - shield bubble, OP as fuck
Divine Blessing - area heal, great for exploration, works for slower bosses too
Echo of Zhao Yun - lightning pillar that's specially made against Inner Demons, besides HP damage it also leaves them shaken so you can wail on them for couple of seconds (shit takes ages to cast though)
I made this recap of the story from what i got off the game and having watched the intro lore video (and reading these threads) but didnt get much traction last thread.
Care to comment?
What i got is that Wuchang wants to resurrect her dead younger sister. To do so she goes to her childhouse home to retrieve a tool that her parents used to try to resurrect his toddler brother and fucked it up
She retrieves the tool, unbeknownst to her a piece out of 5 of a more powerful tool but contracts the feathering disease which messes with her memory and starts taking her arm. She loses conscience at some point on the travel back and her companion leaves her in the care of a tao doctor studying the feathering disease.
Game starts
Wuchang helps find information on the feathering disease and its link to the "Bo" people. She learns of the battle that the old deity had with its rival and how he trapped him but now is starting to seep out of his prison which is causing this whole red mercury shit.
Game ends
During the game we sort of learn that trying to ress her sister wuchang is trapped on a cycle by the cryptic boatman, which seems to be some sort of agent of death or grim reaper or whatever. Eventually she is only to break the cycle in 2 of the endings by either going deep into an illusion world in which she ress her sister and lived happily ever after or learning to let go and moving on with her live, sort of taking Fan Zhao as her younger sister surrogate. The other ending shows Wuchang trapped on the cycle and being experimented on by the tao doctor.
Without touching in the "themes" of the videogame thats what i got of the story.
Notes? plz no bully
>>717168267Do yourself a favor: don't use Ethereal form. You don't need it, it's strictly worse than Alacrity.
Since you already finished the game, you're probably not a shitter that needs the game to dodge for him.
>>717168912>thinking she ever broke the cyclelol
>one cool weapon in the entire game
>its also OP
lashing sword
>>717168912>contracts the feathering disease which messes with her memory and starts taking her arm.iirc she contracts the Feathering disease by finding Liu Hongliu when she goes back to Shu to look for ways to resurrect her sister. The Taoist just finds her and takes her to the cave.

Easy win.
>>717169183>>717169183>I found lords of the fallen to be betterI really enjoyed LoTF and had to endure quite a lot of abuse for defending it and even i think your post is deranged. I respect you for your bravery anon.
>>717169165Are you retarded? Ethereal form is literally auto dodging without you doing anything in a window of several seconds.
Meanwhile alacrity is rewarding you if you do it at the right timing. How is it autododge exactly? Explain right now you stupid fuck.
>>717168912I think the feathering isnt real and only exists in limbo. I dont have any other explanation why she doesnt have it one ending but does in another.
My other theory is that only people with an obsession contract it and the only cure is to overcome it hence why she has it one ending and not the other.
>>717169110only problem i had against her was trying to engage with her bare fist/kick sequences.
Once i accepted those were bullshit and i should 100% play defensive during those and just dodge the rest of the combat felt fair enough
>>717169110bro your axe leech build?
>>717169265You're a fucking imbecile .
It auto dodges while you're casting a spell you inbred idiot.
Pretending it's not auto dodge because your ass would hurt if someone called you on it is disingenuous fucking bullshit so fuck off.
>>717169273I know she for sure has the feathering in the "illusion" ending with her little sister, i didn't know she didnt have it on the "real world" ending.
Can't find a video for that ending in which you can see wuchang's arm right now, just making sure that is not the outfit covering it.
That would reinforce the notion that she does break the cycle and get to a real world and as you said maybe the feathering is just something that happens only as you are trapped in the cycle
>>717169431It is not autododge, it's literally the gameplay of magic. It relatively needs a good timing (unlike parrying which are so generous frame wise)
I bet you're a DB/axe with leech user, mashing R1.

>>717170068Bullshit. It might be strong. But it still requires you to dodge and/or parry. Which means you have to be able to react/time stuff. I am terrible at those things, which is why I need something more brainless for my NG+

>>717170309>But it still requires you to dodge and/or parry.
>>717169165Alacrity is not an automatic dodge itself as there's only a very specific window on the casting animation that has i-frames.
Yes it's very generous compared to regular dodge, but you can fuck it up (and you will if you try to use it in the middle of a 16-hit combo).
>>717170603Frankly, the game does a shit job of explaining Alacrity. I tried looking it up in that ingame manual but it has the most retarded categories and even then the entries within those categories are not even sorted alphabetically. Why does every little mechanic need some bullshit term?
>le skyborn might>just name special charge, you dumb faggots
I'm really disappointed in the slut wear. I thought it would be more stylish.
>>717170309>go full unga bunga?see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWwDqIANO1Y
Also works (and better) with dual swords.
Just beat Zhao Yun 1st try.
Spearveil to Steam Chain backshot combo is just godly against all normal-sized humanoid enemies.
And yes this works on HonlangRound2 aswell.
>>717171042I thought that fight was bullshit. I found it with LS and had to dodges shit perfectly like 10 times in a row to get damage in in phase 2 and it took me legit 20 tries.
Very unfun fight to learn.
I dont like chinese games
>>717168912Game isn't clear on how she got feathering but if you watch the outside of game lore video you can make connection that the bai family are descendants of avians. The sword from the video is the bai family heirloom that you start with. The bo sorceress calls you a halfblood. The feathered branch item also says "it resonates with your feathered blood".
The whoe feathering thing isn't a curse as much as people re-awakening their avian blood after they consume red mercury. The red mercury items tells you its unique to land of Shu, land of Shu is where the avians settled down and intermingled with humans. Your average peasant just gets fucked up because they have even less bird blood. The priests get fucked up just like how the big red avian monsters gets fucked up.
The whole story about running into a monster and getting cursed that the taoist tells you is probably bullshit. It's more likely that her feathered blood awakened after using the chisel. The taoist knows that using the chisel can awaken avian blood, it's he who told commander bitch and white consort that the emperor could be resurrected using a chisel.
looks kinda bad visually. like the animations seem like they're from a 15 year old game or something

Man i loved the game but i much rather they presented the story in a clearer way. I bet there are people that enjoy this uncertainty and fan theories but thats not me
Fuck, I skipped Avian Marsh on my way to do Bo ending because it's optional and I forgot there's an NPC interaction you need there. Oh well NG+2 [3] it is then. It only took two hours to get here anyway
Can someone explain to me why, in pretty much every single action game, whenever your character is with his back to a wall the camera pushes well in front of him so that he can't be seen? And often so much in front of him that not even whatever he's fighting against can be seen?
It's so common yet retarded that there HAS to be a technical limitation mandating this, it can't be a design choice.
>>717171369If thats He Youzai (the pinwheel guy) he is before entering the refugee camp
He should be with Fan Zhao (if you did her quest) on a small ridge overlooking the zone of the camp that is empty before the bridge where the white haired dude is with the ladder that leads to the avian marsh
>>717171271I'm not certain about that. The notes on the island say that the taoist wasn't involved in stealing the artifact and resurrecting Bai Kru I think I remember that there was text mentioning the artifact in the Temple Pavilion. The sister dialogue there was "dad knows so much better than the taoist" or whatever. I think the Shu Sanctum Priest was responsible for the Glutton resurrection since his cane thing aludes to it.

>>717171776I like this. It forces people to engage with what's going on instead of skipping endless exposition cutscenes and if you really don't care you can just not read
>>717171719In this specific game it's a basic bitch unreal engine camera. I noticed very early on at the shu sanctum that if you keep the camera somewhat low and going down the stairs, it violently bob down after every steps.
It would take work for the devs to manually check for meshes colliders with the camera to turn some surfaces transparent to see what's happening, or turn the camera 180 degrees automatically.
Anyway they didn't playtest the bossfights enough.
>>717171949Fair enough. I found the dress before entering the palace so I guess that's why. But why am I here to begin with? Why did I go to Cloudspire?
>forget to give some bitch a scarf

>>717172134You think that's bad? I talked to He Youzai first at the temple before Fang Yao. I did get the research paper #3 but he was stuck pissing and shitting himself on the ground and I couldn't give it to him to get the 2nd half of the ring.
>>717172063>Anyway they didn't playtest the bossfights enough.That's for sure.
If they did, they absolutely would have made some changes in a few arenas if not the bosses themselves. I've seen the two cloudspire city bosses get stuck, and the contrast between wannabe malenia's wing and her arena is so strong it makes her sword almost invisible.
>>717172000ok i found it thanks. he told me to explore zhuzheng mansion but I've already completed that part, everything but the tiger
>>717172241I do not think you have seen wannabe malenia yet given your description
are they trying to make you quit towards the end of the snow level? absolutely hilarious janky boulders that come in pairs with a delay, including a reference to the acclaimed video game dark souls!
>>717168180 (OP)>tfw playing through zhen wu temple of AIDS
>>717171042It's so funny how many people thought spear was the worst weapon since it's unable to parry the human bosses.
>has a skill that nullifies 1 hit, gives 2 might charges>has one weapon that consumes 1 charge to perform an rather quick attack that spins human enemies and makes ther backs point towards you>second charge lets you quicklaunch heavy attack to instastagger
>>717172092>Why did I go to Cloudspire?i dont rightly remember but Wuchang is looking for these powerful relics like the chisel she has and found one in Tang palace.
When getting it you fight Honglan and with the power of plot armor she ends up taking it. I assume an npc tells you that she has been seen heading that direction.
You might remember the General of the North asking about the chisel too so that makes sense, and once you explore the dungeon after mistress of night you will find out that they were right and Honglan did in fact head in this direction.
I just can't recall if an npc explicitly tells you so
This game was pretty mediocre but I had fun jerking off to it a few times.
>>717172472that's literally the best area to explore in the game
there is no cosmetic building unlike most souls-like
>>717172351Are you telling me there's a boss that is even more of a blatant malenia rip off than vermillion feathers - honglan?
>>717172481spear axe LS are all good
dual blades are actually hard mode
magic is for retards

>>717172658Spears are amazing. No idea where you got that.
It's actually nuts how hard every boss is after Honglan.
My opinion keeps changing on this game because I keep seeing new ways they up the difficulty for each encounter.
This game is unironically evil. Not in a cheap or janky way. I think it's evil and it was deliberately designed to be evil and drive the player to madness.
And it works very well.
Fuck me, man.
>>717173041They're just not fun vs non-weapon enemies
>>717173263translation
>oh no the enemies without weapons are fighting back and killing me>I need to actually play the game
Ahkshully, Axes are the real hardmode. Can't parry, no instant clashing, can't deflect. Big bosses are 10 times harder.
>>717173089Some normal enemies are boss tier. Like the 20ft bird man. Fuck that guy seriously.
>>717173325>leech tamper>earthshatter for hyperarmor>mash r1
>>717173427I have said "fuck this game" so much to my screen, and yet I keep respawning and trying again.
The initial reactions and kneejerk contrarian opinions are one thing, but I have a feeling this game is going to be something of a cult classic after a year or two.
>>717173304To be honest, unarmed enemies feel distinctly less interesting than armed ones.
Having no option to parry/clash just mean you have less toys and if anything makes the fight easier since you're not going to accidentally try to parry the wrong attack.

>kill unique mini boss
>die at the same time
>don't get the item
yeah no, I will wait for the patches and restart
>>717172615Solar leap is also great, it's a fast lunge that instantly converts all your previous spear hits to might at 2:1. It also has a sweep followup that does heavy stagger damage so you can frontal force stagger with a few of them.
>>717173859Yeah that's bullshit, most of his attacks go through walls, but if you have a bit of elevation (like you're at the bottom of some stairs), I think you're safe.
I think I died to this enemy (in various places) more than anything else in the game.
>>717174131I loved that whole area with the tiny exception of the despair build building
It felt like a great change of pace
I just raped Honglan 2.0 with a fire axe on my second try. She couldn't even do anything lmao.

Why am I not getting brilliant feathers anymore? I've picked up a fuckton but they don't show up in the skill screen.
crazy how you dont see ethereal form mentioned more
i think its because of the description that says it makes you invisible which is just a straight lie
>>717173089...what? It's the exact opposite for me, bosses after honglan are so easy, the only one I kinda had a problem with is bo magnus
>>717174778Yeah I was confused the first time I used it. They could still see me. In reality its iframes for like 2 seconds and can be spammed after every dodge. Is very strong.
>>717174701The feathers required for weapon upgrades change the higher your level goes. I think it was brilliant > radiant > divine or something like that. You can level up a 2nd weapon type with excess feathers.

Pirate bro and the little girl should have died in the true ending. Pirate bro was literally going insane right before the ending and yet he's somehow fine at the end? And how did this little girl survive for so long anyway? Makes no sense.

I unironically can't tell the difference which bird people are the good guys and which are bad. Obviously the big ass red burds are the evil type but what about those with crow heads? That first big one at the start of marches is obviously one of the good obes since those rypes also fight the red ones.
>>717173089>Not in a cheap or janky way.No a lot of the difficulty is from cheapness and jank. Honglan demonstrates both qualities explicitly. China still cant into action games.
>>717177325> China still cant into action games.Wrong!
>>717177084They are all evil.
The ancient Bo birdmen are following the Bo Magus who want to take over the world. While the other bird people are either sad schmucks that got caught up in the events, or following others who are abusing the chisels to resurrect someone.

Hovewer, it still manages to have one of the most functional movesets in the game.
Dodge R1 into R1 produces an insanely powerful stab - slash loop that counts for a final combo attack, which means it grants you skyborn might. They loop, and the character attacks quickly which leands to insanely high DPS and quick mana replenishment.
Uncharged R2 into R1 produces the same effect.
Certain melee spells can combo into R1 and it leads to the combo finisher too.
This means there's no better weapon for skyborn might generation. With longsword you need to reset your combo in order to maximize it, with one handed you just spam this loop, spam spells, then spam this loop again.
Overall i'd say this is the best weapon type in the game if you also actively use the spellcasting system.
Am I stupid or are the names confusing? Lu Bangzhou tells me that Lai Baixiou is going to Bo Lingzhao's house with Ling Yaofang to eat Bao Xiaoxiao's xiao long bao.
Im in that underground cave at the end of the game i believe after you kill dragon emperor and I found an altar that I can't use cause I need some item and two doors I can't open that say I need to get get guidance from the one guy first. I opened those two big stone from the thing you turn already
>>717177785None of those names are in the game so yeah I think you're stupid
>>717177428Thst Bieling propaganda. The good birds bow down and recognize Duryals authority in Bo Capital.
There are 2 of those shining stones you need to turn to get the completed item for that altar.
Both are in opposite sides of each other. One is in the leftmost part of the map and the other the right.
As for the doors, you're looking at the backdoors. Just go around for the frontdoors.
>>717177785>Kuroski told Misaki that we will all be meeting up as Yousagi's house after schoolI just pulled a random sentence out of my ass using Japanese names to point out that you're simply unfamiliar with Chinese.
It's normal. You had the same thoughts when you started playing Japanese games as a kid. If you keep playing Chinese games, you'll also become familiar with their language.

>>717179395why are these elevators so fucking slow. This game has fun bits and extremely annoying shit bits.
Bo Capital feels like the finished it last second, did 0 play testing and launched it like that. Fuck it, we will fix it later. Mr Chang wont delay anymore.
it's actually hilarious how much easier this game gets if you just play 2h sword
>sick of fighting lady of the night
>explore instead
>now in front of bo Magus who is supposedly one of the hardest bosses
what do I even do now
The bosses are such a chore to fight man
She can teleport all the way down!? I fucking panicked oh my god.
>>717180910huh, never happened to me, fuck fighting that bitch
Is the feathering LS any good? I dunno if I want to respec my whole stat sheet for this.
I just beat Malenia.
I wasn't happy with the boss, she's basically just a dps/stagger check to ensure you do enough damage and stagger early to only have to hit her a couple time to finish her once she stops allowing any safe punish windows at all.
Bros I keep seeing people online talking about how good the dodge spell is, but I keep trying to use it and I don't fucking see how it's anything other than an alacrity dodge WITHOUT a followup.
Like what the fuck is even the point? What am I missing?
>>717181052With feathering temper it gets a ridiciulous damage buff. I think it did around 200 feathering danage alone aling with the physical damage after all buffs were apllied (talismans etc)
>>717168626you don't need any STR to cast the spell on the right
>>717179395hey at least you turned it on, you can use it to come back kek
>>717181284it gives you safety for like 5 seconds albeit with pretty long casting time, personally I don't use it either
>>717181284Its free real estate.
>>717169110Lol, salty as fuck.
>>717181284Yeah it's shit, a literal downgrade of alacrity.
I'm pretty sure those people are playing melee, they just pop the spell, probably never having triggering alacrity even once, so of course they can't know how shit it is compared to the real deal.
It's so fucking infuriating fighting the final boss and if he knocks you down a single time you're dead since the devs haven't fixed the dogshit recovery
>>717181860If you spam, you'll get caught in his combo. Delay.
>>717180476What's wrong with it? I felt like they threw half their entire budget on it? It has more unique enemies than every previous level combined.
>>717181962>Boss name is Bai KeroWeird Keroro Gunsou reference to find in a chinese game
>>717181615>it gives you safety for like 5 seconds5 seconds? Whenever I use it I get hit by the boss' followup attack
Can I do anything other than walking without canceling its effects?
>>717181792But I too am playing melee, that's why I keep going for alacrity: the fireballs in particular are great for dodge+spacing+stagger due to the timing of the spell, by the time it's done the boss' attack is over and I can dive in again. It's literally how I beat ch4 Honglan (also the buff spells)
And speaking of spells, does echo of dhutanga work for you? The description says it's a free obliterate if you hit enemies in the back with it, but I've tried a billion times and it doesn't even do as much stagger bar damage as as a charged attack, nevermind being a free obliterate.
Is there some break for the Zhenwu scroll delivery? I forgot to beat Ai and now the guy isn't there after I went into cloudspire then teleported back
>>717179942Patch notes mention a planned speedup for those specifically
>>717177428The Bo people are just considered evil because they used humans as sacrifices for their rituals. The Bo see humans as just cattle so they dont see anything wrong with it. It was until Duryal forsook his bird form and lived as a human that he saw that the Bo were in the wrong.
>>717182335The dude moves away in ch4, so I think it has to be done before you let the storyteller teleport you.
>>717182141>echo of dhutangaNever tried it, I don't really like to go for backstabs, it's too strong against bosses.
But yeah, the autododge spell is useless. I bet casting it leads to more dangerous situation, seeing how aggressive enemies can be.
>>717182543>Never tried itIt's a wide circle around you and if hit hits the back of a humanoid its opened for a riposte thing
>echo of dhutanga
I hate it. It looks like it would have a really wide hitbox but it mostly whiffs just infront of my target. If you have already beaten the game, the spell you get from the final boss is so much better.
I just started, as far as I understand the mage build is one handed sword for passive feather regen? And in the perk tree I just level up magic stat and left branch for flasks?
>>717182696So it seems, so it seems.
>>717182696Everything builds up magic charges with dodges and some hits in the chains
Also some great magic bonus stuff on the left thing with the estus
>>717182641Oh for some reason, I thought it was the fire skull projectile, but it's the spell from the first boss.
I didn't really enjoy the move, felt a bit weird.
>>717182696Make sure you have a magic scaling weapon (or feathering, but odds are you only have magic stuff).
>>717182696Mage build is one-handed because the weapons come with +spell power attributes and the skill tree is full of +magic nodes.
If you fight half decently you'll be at full feathers full time no matter how much you cast. I use magic a lot with ls and the only issue for me is damage.
>>717176746>Playing with input hints on
>>717181949Yeah had to restrain myself and just play the dodge game with him and do single dual blade R2's. He wasn't that bad, just a very tedious fight with this specific weapon since it's usually for doing longer combos
>>717177461Isn't Wuchang also Taiwanese?
is this game retarded with alt tabbing for anyone else? it freezes for a full second every time and I can't take screenshots.
>>717182869You can't always get aggressive on every boss, sometimes your feather generation will be very slow with a passive boss, you'll get starved for feathers.
Also, damage falls off in endgame, compared to most weapons going temperance leech unga bunga. But the fights are fucking cool when your dodges/alacrity are aligned properly with the bosses.
>>717182141alacrity dodges one attack, you can still get hit during the animation of casting the spell if the boss/enemy is still attacking after that initial dodge. ethereal makes you immune for like 1-2 seconds. and you get skyborn back on dodge, so it pays for itself. with alacrity, depending on spell, you're gonna run out.
also ethereal can be used preemptively. so when a boss phase shifts like hongdong 2, you attack, pop it 2 seconds before they do their bullshit aoe, and continue attacking right after. in any case, you have 4 spell slots dude, there's no point NOT running it. who gives a shit. it makes bo and the dragon fight super easy to dodge their "im charge my screenwide aoe!".
Alright, last boss was pretty sick.
I fucked so many questlines up, though, so didn't get the Demon of Obsession or the door ending, but the game has like 6 endings anyway.
I did get turned into a jar though.
>>717183298>alacrity dodges one attackBro, first thing you say is literally wrong. It dodges every attacks when you trigger it, for as long as you are in the animation of casting the spell.
You can iframe whole combos.
Bo magus bubble shield + axe is just broken, idgaf anymore not gonna limit myself at the end
>>717183378Everyone gets jarred the first time
>>717183216>You can't always get aggressive on every bossAny game where that is the case is a game I won't be able to progress at all, since I'm an unga bunga absolutist (read: impatient and retarded)
This is not such a game. I have yet to find a boss who is not better dealt with by something other than hyper-aggression.
The closest you get to "passivity" in this game is specific attacks that force you off, like ming general's blizzard or honglan 2's wing parry, but that's just an opportunity to take a sip, re-temper your blade, and shoot 5 feathers worth of spells at him.
>>717183180why alt tab when you can f12
>>717183731Yeah doing the quests properly and giving the right stuff or not to the npcs definitely needs some sort of guide if you want a specific ending

Is Feathering worth trying on after Vermillion boss? I got both Feathering swords but it feels like my fire whip is still better.
>>717183180Use Special K to run it in fake fullscreen or RenoDX if you have an OLED monitor. The game has a retarded fullscreen windowed/borderless mode by default
>>717183180Not for me, I haven't noticed a single issue with alt-tabbing in game at all, not even sticky keys.
>>717183813Damage wise, yes.
You might find that you don't give a fuck about the extra damage if the cost is extra range though.
I know I did.
>>717178774The game LOVES this kind of bullshit.
>>717183743It depends on your weapon on build, I was talking more about 1H sword about specific bosses (like old man) with "infinite" combos.
1H sword moveset is really shitty except for the dash attack+r1 follow up.
Against some bosses that can be very aggressive (like old man), if you're at 0 feather, it's very painful to try to melee and risk getting 2 shotted. It's usually more safe to just wait for the boss to start attacking, so you can generate your feather without exposing yourself.
But that's not the case for every boss of course.
>>717183829Empyrean and Cannonball. Empyrean gives you hyper armor for easy leech. Cannon can stagger bosses out of their skills.
>>717184082Do you know which feathering spells are fun? I just like to change my playstyle, spent a good part of the game with spears, and tired of the whip.
>>717184180>It depends on your weapon on build, I was talking more about 1H sword about specific bosses (like old man) with "infinite" combos.Ah, I was talking about not needing to rely on 1H sword passive feather accumulation specifically because you can still easily use magic with other weapons, so we basically just talked past each other.

The commander is fucking bullshit. The difficulty spike is ridiculous. I haven't struggled this hard since the orphan of kos.
>>717184225Also Honglan 2's echo that basically dodges you into the air and shoots feathers at the enemy.
>>717184529Thats for the secret ending (both versions) requires you to have done He youzai and Fan Zhao quests
>>717184225Of those I already found (I'm going through ch4 right now) I liked corruptive flames and the echoes of hongliu and bingzhang.
>>717184801always afraid to fall when using this spell, kinda dangerous, but I think it's somehow done in a way that you'll never fall (like there is a temporary invisible wall)
My crazy Christian wife Bai Ziyun!

I just realized....
Which ending do you get if you dont follow the quests (so no ring) but also don't give the Tao dude the chisel.
Its still pickle wuchang?
>>717184746Casuals ruin another perfect game.
>>717184796You got a parry tutorial before the fight for a reason.
Use any skill of that sort and she becomes a fucking joke.
>>717184985Yeah it's stupid.
>>717184796Just parry bro
I GOT POTTERED WHITOUT GIVING THE CHISEL TO THE FUCKER
WHAT A FUCK YOU CHINCK FUCK GAME
>>717184796for what is worth she was my most died to boss by a wide margin
so maybe you like me are just paying an early price but are about to breeze through the rest
>>717185081lol wtf i just asked about it
>>717184985Did the cinematic of him walking behind you to stab you show the chisel? i remember it showing the chiseal prominently when he walks to grab the sword
>>717185001First off having a game with builds then force you to use a specific one for one boss is bullshit. Second its not easy with counter/clash build, her second form doesn't allow you to heal, and you die so quickly it takes forever to learn her moves.
>>717185180its a massive spike in difficulty but you will get her anon, she is not unkillable by any means
you dont need to suddenly go spec in longsowrd and parry
just play
>>717185168>Did the cinematic of him walking behind you to stab you show the chisel? i remember it showing the chiseal prominently when he walks to grab the swordIt did.
I specifically chose to stay quiet when i got to the Bo Capital and he asks about the chisel because ppl in the threads warm to not give him the damn thing. Fucking stupid.
>>717168180 (OP)Is this game good if you're not Chinese? I imagine half of this thread are ABC's.
>>717185272Yeah I'm just frustrated. I fought her so many times i can do her first form without taking a hit, then her second form just melts you if you make a mistake.
>>717185397I mean sure why not. Some references might fly over your head but I'd say they are minor.
>>717185370fucking wankers, just cut those frames of the cinematic at least wtf
>>717185397other than the names of the npcs being a bit annoying i saw no problem
>>717185180>First off having a game with builds then force you to use a specific one for one boss is bullshitI understand this point of view even though I don't particularly agree with the idea that a game shouldn't demand you retool when it's 100% free to do.
>Second its not easy with counter/clash buildAs a ls main I 2-shot her. She has extremely easily parried combo starters and she lets you eat 20% of her bar on each parry.
Just don't try to parry the dual sword wheel attack she does, I couldn't manage to.
You just need to get your eye in, give it a couple attempts. Also use anti-slash armor.
>>717185397A dumb gwailo like you won't get the whole Ming vs Manchus angle the game is going for.
>>717185850Theres no Manchu angle
>>717185850
>>717185850There's zero mentions of Manchus (Qing) in the entire game.
>>717185397>Is this game good if you're not Chinese? I like it and am euro. I already had something of a grasp on most of the mystic and historical themes though.
>I imagine half of this thread are ABC's.What does this even mean?
>>717168180 (OP)Really interesting feature, looks like if you miss talking to an NPC it will highlight their name in red so you can't overlook them the next time!
>>717185915I remember one mention, some human enemy said they were coming. I think it was in tang palace ch4
>>717185989Kek I might just ignore everyone on NG+ for the memes
>>717185945American Born Chinese
>>717185989I wonder if that fight with bodyguard of that white dressed lady at the temple toward the end was mandatory or a failed questline.
>>717186147We didn't interpret the ellipses properly I guess
>>717186107Ah I see.
I don't think you should expect anon demographics to be particularly skewed in threads about games with chink setting, there's a significant amount of westerners who grew up on dynasty warriors and kung fu movies that is strongly attracted by games like this and wukong.
>>717185915also a boss says something like
>you should server ming not qing!might have been the resurrected tiger dude

Is this game worth buying? I liked Khazan and Lies of P.
>>717189517Personally yes
I found it way ahead of Khazan, delivering a more "complete" souls expereince; and only a few steps behind lies of p (for my money the best non from souls game).
It also excels on what LoP was weakest which is level design.
The singular levels have a feel of the original dark souls with the branching and shortcuts.
I paid 40€ for it and i feel i got my money's worth on a single playthrough, should be like 20€ on cdkeys sites if you dont want to give money to Xi
>>717189517im enjoying it
i didnt play khazan or lop because their disgusting m*le player characters

This tiger is kicking my fucking ass.
The lightning strikes can't decide whether I dodge through them all and take no damage, or the all hit me and kill me from full health.
And I don't get the basic lunge attack. Sometimes it seems to have a hitbox really early, sometimes really late. So while I mostly dodge it, sometimes it just hits no mater when I dodge.
Why do I play souls games when I'm so dogshit at them?
>>717190413I can work with that. Does it have diablo loot? That would be a deal breaker because I hated that about Nioh and RotR
>>717190718no idea, i mean i assume she wont appear on chapter 4 but other than that... or maybe she appears and she has some different dialogue?
>>717190767>And I don't get the basic lunge attackyeah that got me too, im 100% sure it has 2 different ones, but it sounds a bit too like im coping
i put all my lightning resistance gear cause the "backflip" was literally one shooting me. For what is worth i reached p2 three times to kill him, phase 2 seemed easier
>>717190767>Why do I play souls games when I'm so dogshit at them?Because all games are soulslikes now.
>>717190839The diablo loot is straight stupid from Khazan. It doesn't have enough weapon types to justify it whereas I understand the loot with Nioh.
>>717186778EVO yesterday was hype. I have today's on the background while grinding wuchang
>>717191061At least in Nioh, most stat doesn't matter until endgame, so you can just pick whatever's the highest lvl. How is it in Khazan?

>>717190767The one shot lightning tail is such bullshit. He also runs away all the time so I'm wasting my tempers.
>>717191191It kind of matters in Khazan. I would say the set bonus you get from wearing certain gear matters more than the level, outside of your weapon wear the level or rather the higher damage that comes with being higher level matters the most.
>>717190093>>717190164>>717190205wait wait wait

is it like the transformations in NiOh? where you can play as other characters but youre still William in the cutscene
>>717191467worse, cutscenes don't work if you play as F Khazan

You did NOT beat the game
>>717190965>>717191231>>717191352I've got the backflip lightning down now. Fairly long and easy to see tell for it. The multiple projectiles all overlap to begin with, so they all hit you on the same frame, so you just get one shot if you're close.
Got to second phase a few times, but I don't understand the new lightning attacks yet. He seems to leave AOE thunder, but sometimes I just don't get hit by it, sometimes I do.
With all bosses I've struggled with so far, I seem to do better just going full aggro. My longsword gains power with successing attacks, so I do best just going ape and beating them before I run out of healing and tempers.
>>717190076I wondered that too. I thought we could at least converse with him or was a boss fight because the narrative was kaking him more important than he was in the end.

You should explore the rooftops around shu temple and past the invisible bridge marked with a stone.
There is a quite big area around there with a lot of loot and eventually an optional boss, that boss drops an item for that taoist lady at the temple that you would want to give to her before giving her the centipede item
no big deal either way as at least this "bricked" quest progresses a bit on a different manner instead of just breaking

I have a skyward might thing with longsword. Wtf am I supposed to use it on? I feel I just randomly use it with the L1 or L2 or even the R2 since it comes out faster.
I have no fucking idea what I'm doing with this buff
Gonna be honest Honglan is everything wrong with retards trying to copy Souls games. I felt forced to cheese her because once the second phase hits you are literally not allowed to attack unless you parry. And even then she fucking dodges the parry follow up attacks. I genuinely don't understand how you could even beat this boss if your weapon doesn't have a parry.
>>717194124>is there a way forward after beating the general and bo sorcerer or do I have to back to cloudspire............Just keep playing, basically if you go through that cave before doing some quests in chapter 2 those brick before the npcs move to chapter 3 since you are there already so to speak.
To be fair i personally did that and i still dont know which quests i supposedly bricked, i still got several quests in chapter 2 despite having crossed that "forbidden cave"
>>717194124I pretty sure you can't skip cloudspire you have to do it, but you should be insanely over leveled at that point kek

>>717194251exactly that
is a "charge" you will eventually spec to be able to hold more charges and you use these to

>>717196492I'll be honest, I had phase 2 fatigue by that point and was glad it was over.
I guess you could call the bad ebding phase 2 kek.
>>717196219Slow heal works in a slow game. Nothing stops attacking in this game to give you an opening to heal. Getting hit already was the punishment. Which is also the reason the get up needed to get changed. Getting hit was already the punishment. But currently getting hit and knocked down is a guaranteed death sentence because of the aforementioned "enemies don't stop attacking." You can see when you die the boss continues their attack strings until the screen fades out because they are programmed to attack for 40 seconds with no interuptions. Slow stuff works in a slow game. In a fast game things need to be fast.
>>717196492Demon of Obsession is true final boss, taoist is victory lap
>>717196365Doesn't change the fact that getting a knock down on humanoid enemy is extremely advantageous and you are incentivized to chase it with weapons such as the axe.
>>717196492I couldn't beat him first try. Longsword and Dual Blades+leech couldn't do it for me. I had to swap to 1hand sword so that I actually stood a chance

>>717196692>Nothing stops attacking in this game to give you an opening to heal.This really isn't true. You're just waiting until a boss completely stops which isn't going to happen but a lot of their moves actually have considerable endlag which you can make use of. Even something like Bo Sorcerer. Or put some range between you and them. Basically, even to heal you have to know the enemy. Tempering also takes similarly long time to apply and I don't see nobody bitch about that.

>>717196692the issue is overreliance on dodging. people got baited into spamming dodge in this game when you can evade most combo attacks by simply sprinting backwards (keyword:sprinting). rarely any move has the patented warnerbros magnetization so you can simply run back 9/10 times and recover. players should have noticed that sprinting backwards is actually effective as early as the picrel bossfight

>>717198748its chunks your HP in exchange for damage yeah. It's not worth to charge it, but a quick press does a lot of damage and can stagger which is a rarity on a 1H sword.
I just used it for the keks anyway because it's just light attacks spam + cast OP shield

>>717198748Bro, your ability to read???
>>717198667So have I. And I also play all sorts of different games. But I am tired of them. And so are many other people. Honestly, it was probably ER that ruined it for me.
>>717198909If you dash before using it will it do your normal dash atack string?
>>717198891A lot of /v/irgins zoom past everything, using guides on the first run.
where's the ferry boat man?? just beat the tiger
>>717198939>And so are many other peopleI don't care about these other people. I still look forward to these games. Less so the ones made by FROM because I didn't care much for ER. Although, SOTE had Dryleaf Arts which was fun but I really don't like Yui Tanimura.
>>717198742true but if you abuse the Bo Magus spell like I show you on the vid you can pretty much first try anything. It's bonkers broken (im just spamming r1 and the spell on cooldown, I'm not even using healing pots or trying to dodge anything unless it's a oneshot move)
>>717199065Have you tried, oh I don't know, WALKING AROUND?????
>>717199143I'm at the old man next to straw hat by a cave and I'm worried going forward will brick
>>717199065go though the burnt gate and through the cave
>>717199109>you can pretty much first try anything.>unless it's a oneshot move)How would you know it's a oneshot move on your first try?
>>717199028dont remember exactly but I think it will break the dash attack string because it has a little charging animation
>>717198012yeah and all of those quick slots are used by usefull shit like healing, tempering and the like
you get one slot for other crap
>>717199078Yes. But you are not the main character. You don't care about other people, but fail to understand that other people don't care about you either.
Where is the old dude at the Zhenwu Altar after the tiger? I left and came back and entered the dream but I can't find him
>>717199238you get a sound cue before big attacks
>>717199346>fail to understand that other people don't care about you either.I've never failed to understand that. It's just not my problem if you're a giant whiny faggot that's gonna cry about "wahh waahh muh fatigue!!". Get over yourself, faggot. You're only saying that because nigger fatigue got popular.
>>717199380nevermind chatgpt tells me he is in the cave after which is a different area
getting sick of this shit
>>717199238You dont HAVE to play like a full unga-bunga retard like I do in the vids you know? You will never die if you actually try to dodge things with the shield up.
And actually you can tank one-shots with it: what you cant tank is fast, repeated multi-hits which are like 3 in the whole game (spear combo & lightning arrows on Demon of Obsession, Bo Magus Sword Descent pulse damage and Last Boss Waterspout pulse damage but you can tank all the water walls from phase 2 transition).
>>717199593You don't even get the shield until literally end-game. So, what did you do for every boss before Bo Magus?
Why do soulsniggers lie so much? Was watching my friend die 20+ times to a boss and the next day he tells us that it was one of the easiest bosses in soulslike games. Nigga what the fuck are you lying for?
>>717199681I used the Whip longsword coz it's broken as fuck kek

>>717199735perhaps he usually dies 60+ on bosses? kek
Qianhu attacked me on sight at the reverent temple mentioning the lack of decree for passage.
Did I fuck up his (or more likely, his lady's) route, or are you required to kill him regardless of sidequests?
>>717199735literally stockholm syndrome + sunken cost fallacy
people cant accept they wasted their time
>>717199938he always attacks you, dont know why stupid game journos wrote he isnt always aggro
>>717199825that doesnt sound right...
