Wuchang thread

So is full clash build dual blades just godmode? I spam dash r1s and r2s and everything just dies, only honglan gave me some trouble

Why is no one talking about Honglan v2?

Does combat get more fun with NG+?

>>717447925
At that point if you still have a problem with bosses you might be a bit slow in the head.

WTF where did these people come from all of a sudden

>>717447838
basically yeah
>>717448108
no like all ng+ systems its dogshit because the balancing is fucked

I can't believe my wife Bo Magus was this much of a pushover

Zhenwu temple is too much, my head hurts, everything looks the same and I have no fucking idea where I'm going

You did save lil Yao, didn't you?

Why is she so cute.

>>717448349
Also finished act 4. It's really evident how they're running out of steam at this point, really cool the callback and the horror theme but the exploration was less deep than the previous chapters.

Also in terms of bosses the last one and Bo Magus were a letdown (although the political melty of the Emperor was quite nice), but Honglan and Zhao Yun are kino (I don't count Demon of Obsession).

>>717448474
nah fuck off cunt i saved my sister

>>717448334
Do they at least change any enemy placements or anything?
Why do these games never do anything interesting with ng+?
Nioh is the only soulslike that actually gives a shit about the post-game experience.

>>717448483

>>717447925
Ehhh she's not all that.
She dies in 4 or 5 backshots and the first one is somehow completely fucking free, just run to her back at the start after she releases arrows and she just takes it, her combos are also fairly slow and predictable, the other anon is right, by that point you should already know how the game works. Now Demon of Obsession though, fuck that bitch, really annoying to fight her on her terms because of just how quickly she can alternate between various attack patterns.

>>717448321
China had christianity since forever.
It isnt Japan, who actually killed them all.

>>717448547
>saved
I'm still in a dream panty stealer

>>717448536
Cute!

>>717447838
Honglan was actually fun and easy, since her moveset is limited. She is a much fairer Genichiro in terms of skill-check.

The Ming General is what's absolutely stupid.

>>717448831
dont care, dream vs reality is an illusion of a distinction
cypher was right

>>717449152
Yeah but you still have feather aids and theres still monsters around to deal with unlike the other ending.

>>717448108
You kinda have to limit yourself a bit but having more options is fun.

I should give the doctor bro one of my chisels right?

>>717448108
what the fuck is that red slash thing? is that a magic spell?

Wuchang fucking sucks. They somehow took all the wrong lessons from other souls games and made them worse.
The animation timing is all over the place. Bosess knock you over constantly and the animation length plus lack of i-frames mean you'll get raped before you can roll back up.
Its not that its difficult, its just cheap
Inb4 git good, nigger i've beat all fromsoft games. These brand of chongs just imitate somethijg they know nothing about

So is Zhao Yun the real Zhao Yun? How can he still be alive after like 900 years?

>>717448996
Ming general was 2 attmepts for me with the clash build, honglan was closer to 50

>>717449604
he had a magic shu chisel so his obsession to see his land prosper kept him around I suppose

>>717449539
Its the Feathering Spell you get for killing the final boss.

>>717449438
i thought i cured the featheraids?
nvm just went back and re-watched the ending cutscene and yeah she still has it
oh well desu i dont care too much about the story, i just like doing questlines, i didnt even know about the giant lore-trailer until after i beat the game, barely knew wtf was going on

Reminder thst tbe sword the boss wieldscis Bielings sword from the lore trailer.

>>717449597
i can tell you did in fact beat all the souls games because you're complaining about a mechanic you dont understand because it works completely differently in wuchang vs souls

stop spamming dodge when you get knocked down, time your getup, it only has iframes at the start of the animation

>>717449717
Its not like you need a cure for feather aids because it isnt really aids for Wu-chan. She's just a bird gal.

>>717449668
Makes sense.
I wouldnt have thought that Zhao Yun was that obsessive about staying alive tho, but a nice touch. I would have imagined Zhuge somehow holing up for centuries and then becoming a JD in modern day Japan.

>>717449597
They are going to fix the long downtime after knockdown. With this fixed, I can safely say it is one of the better Soulslike I have played so far. Really nice build variety and combat design.

>>717447709 (OP)
>I got the impermanence ending
Lmao I must admit I would never have considered eating what seemed to be a key item.
Very fun game all in all, but I don't think I'll go through ng+ for the true ending. Maybe if there's a dlc.

Also fuck the last boss, it spends half the foght out of reach or shitting out death waves to wait out, and it doesn't even have a second phase.
I was so fucking convinced it was going to get back up my jaw touched the floor when I got the rewards instead, I had like 11 heals and 2 tempering I was holding back on, suffered for nothing.

beat the game, good fun
any dlc planned?
i dont do ng+

>>717450026
why would you replay a game?

>>717449848
not him, but it also has a window you can get up fast and then it robs you of control. It's not like monster hunter where you can stay on the floor.
Plenty of times, I was in checkmate situations where I could either get up early and get hit getting up, or get clipped on the ground because the window was over by the time the attack landed.

>>717447709 (OP)
how does it run on steam deck?

>>717450156
Because it's fun

>>717450156
experimenting with builds
weapons feel pretty different in this game

NEW COSTUMES WHEN AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

I never expected them to actually cast a westener speaking chinese for this NPC lol

>>717449867
I think it was because he wanted to avenge his comrades since they head to deal with the feathering too.

>>717450305
I experimented plenty during the first run and landed on a favorite already.

>>717450426
there are already mods out there.

>>717448321
Christianity has been a thing in china since the 7th century but still low key then, it wasn't until the jesuit started converting people around the 1500s that it gained a lot of traction.
Those two portuguese ones in the game apparently are real historical figures.

are chapters four and five shorter, im already burnt out

>>717450479
hahah I love this game

>>717450681
both are shorter and more linear (you can get lost in ch5 but it's actually completely straight)

>>717450479
Yeah his accent is so bad it's actually so good
10/10 VA

Wuchang I... I don't think these are appropriate combat vestments!

>no bo sorcerer armor set
devs make it happen

why wuchang doesnt have a boyfriend?

>>717451258
He Youzai is clearly fucking her.

>>717451258
because she's already my wife what kind of question is that

The MC could be the average jrpg dude mc with spiky hair and the game would be just as good.

>>717447925
I was having trouble with her until I realized her second phase transformation is free real estate to wail like a third of her total HP for absolutely free.

>>717451383
yes, but playing with one hand made this game more difficult.

>>717451258
>kill so many people at sea that a gang of ruthless pirates nicknames you as the chinese equivalent of the grim reaper
how do you approach a woman like that?

>>717449597
>nigger i've beat all fromsoft games
this game is much harder than all of them
it's just too difficult for you bro

>>717451383
>Asian game in which the male MC goes to such lengths to resurrect her dead (younger) sister

>>717449848
>complaining about a mechanic you dont understand because it works completely differently in *insert game here* vs souls
Truly the mark of a Souls veteran.

>>717451383
i dont want some jrpg twink, id rather play as honglan or the elder

>>717448460
Are you playing blindfolded? Are you seriously unable to differentiate the places you've been and not been? How do "people" like you function on a day to day basis?

>>717449597
I've beaten them all too and I think Wuchang is fantastic. In fact, its easily one of the better ones

>>717451095
That's a great set for negating despair buildup.

>>717451476
kill more

>>717451297
I thought he was fucking the sister until the ending cutscene lmao

After a CBT of despair they throw this bullshit

>>717451476
why do people keep memeing she's a pirate?
the entire game takes place in a inland province at least 1000km away from the sea

>>717452330
Nigger read items.

>>717447838
I switched to DB Clash at lvl 45 with the Scissors and it is not clicking for me

Maybe I need to only use it against specific bosses/enemies? The L1 kills easy enemies sure but anything bulky and it just tanks through that shit, unlike Axe

>>717451383
>just as good
no
it would be the same tier of game, but if you have to have a zero personality mc it might as well be a hot girl to ogle
>ladders

>>717452409
haven't touched the game in a week and i'm waiting for the new patch to do ng+ so that's gonna have to wait

Where's the rune that gives you more damage on 9 skills? I've got the +3 and +6

>>717452526
panda

>>717452553
Where? I just started Bo Capital and last time I saw him was at the ending of chapter 3.

>>717452296
use your glowstones

Is the 1 hand sword's moveset meant to be hot garbage?
I know it's supposed to be a magic user's weapon, but that charged R2 is criminally shit.

>>717452609
He's behind the Annulum but in Bo Capital you'll have to pass him by as you progress, he's almost impossible to miss

>>717452770
yeah if you want to backstab with it you need to use the echo of duthanga
basically the weapon lets you build might charge quick like dodge forward then r1 r1 and you should build biding times + might charges

My wife Wu-chan has a FAT ass!

>>717452468
Where are the scissors? But you need all the clash nodes and the "blademaster?" node that gives you health regen on clashes to really make it good

>>717452330
Because we can read?
You know river pirates were a thing right?

I just got the flame longsword from the bandit leader...am I supposed to temper with it the bone needle - flame thing? doesn't it already have fire without it? does the temper do shit?

I am so fucking confused yes I am retarded please help

>>717453179
Tempering adds whatever damage needle you have, if you use the fire needle it'll add fire damage.
That weapon is special in that fire temperance greatly enhances it, so yes you should always temper when on boss fights, and unlock more acupoints.

>Wuchang fanart
I'm so glad she's getting some.

Even knowing this scene was coming I still got heccin chills

>>717452738
yeah, I wish I could replace the R2 with one of the other stabby disciplines.

>>717448996
Ming general was stupidly easy for me. My build was just longswords and fishing for obliterates, and I found that if I stayed at range he would always do the same three hit combo to close the distance which was stupidly easy to dodge and perfectly positioned me behind him. The whole fight lasted like 30 seconds.

>>717453624
Yeah...

>>717453792
n-not like that...

>>717453792
Ranni should have also had a jar ending.

>>717448996
Every anon is having trouble with a different boss, what gives?

>>717447925
I don't know how, but all bosses so far felt like a cakewalk, and this bitch keeps filtering me in her 2nd phase. No window of downtime, she just hails on me and mixes all sorts of attacks, so I can't consistently clash. Even fishing for backstabs feels hard, she barely gives me a moment where I can circle around.

>>717453243
>and unlock more acupoints.
what does that do?

>>717453738
I see, so you didnt bother countering him as I was taught by Honglan. Because it didnt really work with the Longsword lmao.

I guess I either need to respecc to dual blades or go the evasion route with my trusty one handed Jian.

>>717454017
You can put more needles into your tempering at the same time.
Depending in your build you might not need to unlock all of them, but surely you'll want at least one.

>>717453792
heh

>>717454187
Also other musts are the node that enhances tempering time and additional charges, depends on your burst damage but most likely you'll need two charges to last a full boss fight.

>>717448321
Can you kill these christcucks? Help them reunite with their Jewish daddy

>>717452296
Reminded me of a less bullshit version of that crystal cave path in DS1. Be prepared for the two glowing enemies that inflict despair at you in there.

>>717453984
>Every anon is having trouble with a different boss, what gives?
Different builds and playstyles help coping with different mechanics

This game's kicking my ass. I just beat Ai Nengqi after a dozen tries, and the ice guy looks like he's going to be just as hard. Should I just spec completely into a single weapon? Seems the only optimal choice to keep my damage on pace with the bosses.

>>717448321
what costume is this?

>>717454541
Yes, dual speccing is a noob trap, you don't have enough points to make it worthwhile until you've mastered your initial weapon.

And most likely you'll only want your second weapon for whatever discipline it has on fast swap, not to actually use it.

>>717453949
>CAN YA IMAGINE

>>717453984
In all souls games I usually struggle most on bosses with high stamina and lots of different moves. Shadow of the Erdtree was a nightmare for me for this reason.
Wuchang has a few bosses like that, and they were nightmares for me too, but they're also fairly spaced out.
Bo Sorcerer and Mistress of the Night were easier for me because I didn't mind playing the long game and waiting for their openings to knock down.

>>717452894
Yeah I have the Blademaster thing

Scissors come from an (almost?) mandatory boss so you cant miss it

>>717454381
>node that enhances tempering time
where is that node? I see the one that gives+1 charge but not longer tempering time?

>>717454632
Yeah you do.
I played the entire game with ls+axe tree. Has enough point to get them leveled on par with eachother.
i.e if you can get your weapon skill to lvl 6 you can get both weapon to lvl 5 instead

>>717454075
Yeah, the game taught me really early on that fast R2s into obliterates was really powerful, so I kinda just stuck with that the whole game. I actually consider it pretty OP. Like, everyone and their mother seems to complain about Bo sorcerer in Avian Marsh, but it only took a couple tries to learn when I could safely R2 and obliterate and after that it was easy.

>>717453998
Each time I come to bitch on /v/ about a boss, I kill it shortly after without any problem. I should do this more often.

why does this NPC at cloudpire have a red name above his head? is this something different I'm supposed to do here or just kick his ass

>>717455154
Because it's a quest NPC that for some reason wants to murder you retard, just kill him.

>>717454747
Not sure what that anon is talking about but the tempering extension needle drops from Nightmare Demon boss early into act 4

the blight spear sucks
crazy how the first two spears you get are the best ones

>>717454747
I might've confused it with the node that makes your tempering faster, which also unlocks status needle nodes..

Just got the preorder costumes unlocked, feelsgoodman

heh, clever

>>717455486
Damn gurl wat dat ass do

>>717456073
She poops from there

>>717454075
His moves seemed pretty telegraphed so dodging was the easier thing to do. Counters aren't working on everyone so whenever they don't it's time to switch strategies. This doesn't have to be a full respec.

>>717450170
I get you, it's bs but there's only 2-3 bosses where this actually killed me. Devs said they're gonna adress that problem so if it triggers you too much you can just wait for the patch.

>>717455378
ty

The only time I got really annoyed by the flask timing was the fucking giant red bird mob, not the bosses
With the bosses you can always find openings of opportunity to heal, but that fucking bird just hates you

>>717457149
Where are you? The flask thing definitely becomes a huge liability with the humanoid bosses of the second half. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

>>717447709 (OP)
Anyone know what the page in front of the monk says?

This is my first time hearing about this game, why is it so mixed on Steam? Looks kind of cool

>>717457247
I cleared everything. I firmly believe the wakeup roll and the flask animation were deliberate design choices and I'm glad I beat the game before they patched it.
Still, fuck this bird.

>>717457442
Read the chinese reviews

>>717457442
some shady price changes and DLC handling by the devs
messy performance
autistic nationalistic chink rage due to the setting

>>717457442
The chinese hallucinated something about the Manchu and collectively melted down

>>717448108
I think so, because you have all the weapons, spells and skills you actually want to use available to you. The only thing to keep in mind is you have to de-level your weapons to match the boss HP as they just scale all enemies up by a set value meaning early-game enemies die in one obliterate to +10 weapons.

10 different healing items that are almost instant yet ppl still cry about chugging estus. Play DS2 you babies

I just talked to the big titty bitch at the top of the snow castle...where the FUCK do I go next? I also gave her a wedding dress

idk wtf I'm doing

>>717457998
tunnel to the right of where you entered the palace in that courtyard area

Bo Capital looks incredible but
>poison swamp
Way to kill my boner fast.

>>717453792
I didn't understand this ending, someone explain to me why that asshole turned her into literal paste and why there's now another wuchang.

>>717458082
thanks

>>717457728
Gotta save consumables anon, especially in a soulslike where you dont reload on death

>ywn be old man taoist
>ywn collect Wuchangs
Bros...

>>717458137
The magic chisel Wuchang has actually messes with the time continuum so the entire thing is in an unspecified number of loops. The taoist refines her into a pill for her Bo lineage blood so that he can ascend and become the final boss which is his goal, to get immortality from the bird people.

>>717455486
Fuck these devs, all the basegame stuff sucks so far

>>717458219
>>ywn collect Wuchangs
That's what gacha games are for

>>717457728
I used all my Raven pills vs bride and haven’t found any since

Is there literally no way to get more besides invoke

>>717454541
I went into all the nodes I wanted on my main weapon and then scouted for the +5 nodes that are relatively early on every weapon path. It's bascially 5 levels for the price of 3 + you get the stats from the pathway nodes as well.

>>717454541
>Ai Nengqi

He’s the one boss in chapter 2 I one tapped

How is he difficult at all

>>717457442
75% of the negatives are Chinese nationalists who are unhappy with how this game depicts the late Ming Dynasty.
25% of the negatives are from people with 20XX cards or earlier and can't get past UE5's hangups with older hardware.

>>717450681
Both are very short if you just go to the main progress route immediately. The majority of content in both is on an optional side route.

waiting either for this game to be playable on deck or xbox rog ally to come out

>>717457653
I also feel sad that we are killing the Mingbros who are just protecting the people from cannibal rebel/bandits.

>>717447838
Nah. You can't do shit against enemies that don't use weapons.
Prepare to get fucked in the ass by Mistress Yan. With no lube, and extra girth.

>>717458648
fuck that bitch

>>717458648
Well no you can still backstab and punish, you just have worse range and tighter timing now

>>717458648
Reminder lace panties are not historically accurate to the Ming dynasty

>>717458642
Well maybe they shouldn't fuck with causality. Also you also kill rebels.

>>717455437
That's the one you get from Zhao Yun right? I tried using it right at the start of NG+2 when you can one shot enemies with a basic sprinting R1 and the weapon skill did barely half an enemy's health and didn't even get halfway to proccing blight.

lmao shoving the spear up the tiger's ass and blowing it up was the funniest shit ever

>>717455437
nigga u talking about this one?

>>717458753
I'm glad this game answered the question of what would fully modeled, gold embroidered panties look like in a video game?

>>717458717
I'm about to fight her in NG+ with dual blades. I am terrified.

Wait is there a patch today?

>>717447709 (OP)
no demo. where is the demo. not spending money on this.

>>717458884
no, malice sting
blight really sucks against bosses because by the time you stack it up you'll already have done enough damage to outpace the max HP damage
ironically frostbite is a much better effect than blight because on enemies stacking frostbite to full just chunks them for a certain amount which is what you'd expect poison to do and not frost

>>717458778
Yeah, especially considering the last Ming emperor hanged himself. Maybe he doesnt even want to come back.

>>717458815
yeah, it just sucks
>>717458884
first two are the red-tasseled spear and the steampowered spear
that pile bunker spear is super cool but i do way more damage with the red spear weapon skill

Fucking hell that was HARD

>>717458219
I've got other games to play taoist simulator

>>717448996
Some 30 attempts with Ming General. I quickly moved to counterattack longsword build and only used that. First stage was easly once I learned to counter all his moves, 2nd one gave me plenty of problems. Then for one run it all just clicked and I beat him without using a single health flask.

I think that it's possible to just slowly jab at his health by keeping distance and waiting for his lunge attack from mid range and counter that and go for a single light hit. But I didn't have patience for that.

I'm currently hitting it hard against boobie master Mistress of the Night. I just don't get her. I'm using axe against her, and at times heavy attack crushes her from zero break meter to broken, but I can't replicate it. Also, I'm not willing to move to single sword and magic for her. That shit is cheating.

>>717458976
Remember her corruption shotgun so never get close to her, also never stay far away, also don't stand at middle distance. And eat your stamina grass. And the stamina pills. And get the max frostbite resistance gear but also the max corruption resistance gear. And also
DONT
GET
HIT

Then she should be easy.

what's a strategy for the woman freeze/corrosive spammer who turns into the dog/snake thing and teleports?
I've tried every weapon and I'm lucky to get 30% off her health.

>>717459810
>dog/snake thing
You mean... the fox?

>>717459482
>at times heavy attack crushes her from zero break meter to broken, but I can't replicate it
I'm pretty sure the "backstab" hitbox in this game is finicky as fuck.
There have been a lot of human bosses to I kept backshotting at nonsensical angles but also completely resisted what appeared to me to be a visually perfect backstab.
Also of course I'm pretty sure they gain resistance everytime you break their posture. You're not likely to manage more than 3 before killing them.

>>717459810
i think the easiest strat is the charged heavy longsword strike into her back

>>717459810
I beat my head up against her as well.
What ended up working was using dual blades fast charging R2 backstab after certain moves. The purple balls and the 3 stomp kicks she does after teleporting being the best ones.
I tried with the longsword first, but the tracking on it is much worse, so it missed a lot when I needed it.

>>717459810
Get a mod to prevent fall damage so you don't have to wait for the elevator to get down to her. You're going to need it.

>>717459482
play like a backstab fishing invader will get out outside of most of her attacks

Have they done the patch to increase the get up speed yet? I was waiting on that before doing more of Cloudspire

>mfw some sick fits despite playing as a hole

>>717460564
>increase the get up speed
Why the fuck are people talking about this?
Just literally time your "get up dodge" to the next hit of the boss instead of mashing it like crazy

>>717460803
drip goes hard

>>717460838
I didn't ask for your opinion dumb fuck. I asked if they've done the patch yet. Yes or fucking no.

>>717460993
nobody's ever going to patch this retard

>>717461074
it's literally planned for 1.5
retard

Should I do it bros?

this game is kino

>>717460803
Started whoring my Wuchang as well but in the end I settled for quite a modest outfit that looks rad.

Average Wuchang(tm) Experience

>>717461140
sometimes i wish i could play these games and listen to all the dialogue and shit but i never do and never know wtf my choices are actually affecting

>>717461140
Depends on your fetishes.

FUCK MING GENERAL
He isn't even that hard, but he keeps triggering that one neck slice attack while I'm in the middle of a light attack and can't move

I am struggling on the Chimera fight, I get knocked down once and it's gg, combo'd before I can stand. I was playing a counter 2hander but I guess you can't do shit about countering monsters. is the answer leech daggers? or unga bunga axe?

>>717461884
this attack was one shotting me with full health, i thought it's supposed to be insta kill
i was so mad

>>717462028
>>717461884
I unironically got rid of full madness just to beat him by jumping off the bridge

Was taking way too much damage and beat him soon after with lower madness

just beat the demon of obsession for the first time
even without being able to obliterate, she got staggered a lot with skills so i had a pretty easy time. spears are just super good against humanoids.
or maybe i just got lucky because i kinda facerolled towards the end
also i just realized looking at this recording that doing swift draw undoes my divine ward spell, so it's been doing basically nothing this whole playthrough lol

>>717461140
>Your pirate bro tells you to not trust anyone except him, something fishy is going on
>Taoist guy wants one of your relics that are the only way to bring back your sister
Ultimately it doesn't matter if you haven't done the other shit needed for the secret ending, but that guy was a massive red flag.

That Honglan v2 music tho... rly like it

Whats the point of these shits?
>Get one out of 3 buffs at random (only the damage buff is good)
>Can't stack, consuming another one deletes the previous buff
>Lasts like 30 seconds
They could give all 3 buffs at once and i would still not use them.

This is one hell of a short game, I first tried the red priestess and credits roll.
Was ok I guess.

>>717463765
i'm in over 30 hours and i'm only on bo sorceress

>>717463765
Nigga you just got a secret short ending that skipped the entire chapter 5.
Should've agreed to help out the storyteller.

I completely missed Honglan 2 and the Bo Magus fights on my blind playthrough...

>>717457442
Something to do with fu manchu

>>717462168
I kept the madness but I unironically threw off anti-cold gear for anti-slash. That bullshit was more trouble than frostbite.

>>717464306

Kek me too. Particularly disappointed about missing Bo FeetMagus.

>>717464306
The Storyteller very explicitly tells you where she is, like shit nigger do you even read.

>>717463765
Took me 40h start to end, but considering there's no pause I'm not sure how reliable the counter is.
Still, even if it's 30h, decent enough length. Not like Dark Souls takes any longer.

Bros, what's your favourite spell? Mine is Burning Flames.
For all that it costs 3 feathers for fuck all damage I must have finished half a dozen bosses with it.

>>717465263
It's about as long as DS3 I'd say. 25-35 hours (depending on player skill and if using a guide or not) for a full playthrough, roughly 3 hours for an all-boss NG+ run

>>717465515
>>717465263
Did you monkeys even explore or mess with builds
Sounds like you just beeline for things

>>717463509
to annoy the fuck out of you while exploring
*WOOT WOOT WOOT*

>>717465749
People use guides, i was in cloudspire for like 4 hours last night exloring everywhere

Just now realised that spear Isshin and this dude are the same character
God damn chinese names are unrecognizable

>>717465749
I did explore, I got all weapons, pendants, killed all bosses, got Dream ending. Missed some of the bamboozlings. It took 37 hours but some of that would have been AFK.

>>717466080
>cant internalize any chinese names
>just start saying "BINGCHILLIN" in my head when a name pops up
>npc says: hey can you be on the look out for BINGCHILLIN?

>>717462168
>>717462028
Beat him. Turns out chaining light attacks after a deflect make you super vulnerable, but using charged heavy attacks work insanely well.

been using longswords the whole game so far
about to fight Bo Sorceress (just as a reference for where i am in the game)
should i experiment with other weapons/builds or just keep fucking shit up with my +7 whip longsword because it kinda fucks

>>717464306
I dont understand how. I was playing blind and I found Vermillion Honglan and Bi Magus. I genuinely thought both were mandatory and only found out from posts like this that people missed them. Do you guys just not explore?

>>717466185
Maybe you guys are just better than me then

I take 30~50 minutes on some of the harder bosses.

do you think theres gonna be dlc or i can uninstall

>>717467171
are you so poor you cant afford a few extra gigs of space

>>717448483
cute boy

>>717466080
>>717466276
I'm not chinese but I can certainly recognize who is who when I see the names. Its not that difficult. If the names were written in chinese, I'd have no idea.

>>717459197
1 try with DBs

>>717467232
yea

>>717467560
>only 1 gig for games

I need to lick Wuchang's boob sweat

A little off topic but I'm at work taking a shit and someone just turned the lights off in the bathroom

>>717468373
Bruh
I was also taking a shit at work and lights went out for 10 seconds

Beating this bitch took whatever left of my patience for this game i had. Fucking retards don't understand that during boss fight sometimes you need some breathing space, but no, it's just fucking endless 15 hit combos. Don't even wanna fucking know what comes after, i'm done.

>>717468620
I beat her my first try.

>>717468620
3 more boss its easy

>>717468620
I dont trust this kind of posts anymore.

People said Honglan v1 Phase 2 was also "endless combo with no breathing space" and it was just not fucking true at all when I got to her

>tiger general: 3 tries, second phase 1st try
>bai kru: 2nd try
>birds with harberds and crossbows: at least 10 deaths, probably closer to 20 by now
nice balancing there

>>717468902
those fucking birbs man

>>717468902
>have to dress like a whore to prevent armor break, they can't break your armor if you're not wearing any.
peak videogame logic.

what game is the gameplay most comparable to? dark souls, sekiro, nioh?

You move like in bloodborne and the enemies are like in elden ring.

>Final area is the poison swamp area
even Miyazaki wouldn't. What were they thinking?

>>717469481
is there a stamina thats used for swings and rolling?

>>717469919
Yeah, but you don't roll, you dash like in BB

>>717468620
This, its only kino and ludo when Elden Ring does it.

so how do you beat the titty lady at the bottom of the ice castle with longsword? this fight sucks

>>717469956
>stamina

>>717470034
I did it by fishing for backstabs and learning how to dodge her kicks and fox teleport.
You need to be close enough to run behind her, but not close enough you'll die to her corruption thing, that said the corruption attack is your best bet to get behind her.

>>717469978
Yeah no, temu Malenia (even has the same dive move lmao) doesn't ever stop

>>717470123
will try

>>717470228
Just dont get greedy, fix for the backstab, get it, attack her a bit, back off, even if you don't get the poise break she still staggers from a charged attack.
By poise break I mean when she gets on her knees, not the status effect.

Just give up and go axe with lifedrain needle. Nothing can beat it.

>>717468620
>>717470152
She does. There was plenty of times where we'd be walking sideways staring each down anime style for a whole 5-10 seconds. I was having trouble with her at first until I swapped to 1hand sword and beat her immediately. You've got infinite evasive maneuvers, bro
>>717468792
Sometimes she does just go full offensive depending on how close you are and how much you're attacking

>>717469297
>stamina for attacks/dodges/running
>well timed dodges or other actions based on your skill tree including certain spells that include an auto-dodge in their cast times that give you a stsack
>each spell, enhanced action from skill tree, and weapon special ability (2 at any time) costs a certain number of stacks
>small weapon pool for each type but all have some gimmick
Bosses are pretty samey in the vein of circular/square box you dodge around with three exceptions but the combat is fun enough that I didn't mind.
It's an extremely competent modern soulslike that rips from Lords of the Fallen for combat movement, Nioh for weapon gimmicks, and Dark Souls for some of its convoluted level design.
>>717465749
I took around 35 hours and explored everything but once I found the long sword's deflect counter ability I never used anything else.
>>717465470
The jumping javelin from the priest guy really grew on me.

>>717470089
You must be a woman that is allergic to commitment and taking accountability for your actions

Did a new fresh run yesterday with spears and owned Honglan with the spear ability that flips over humanoids, it was so cheesy. The flip ability didn't work on the Ming commander though but worked on the mistress.

My favorite posts are when shitters get filtered by any humanoid boss which you can burst down and bully with every weapon maybe except spear

>>717447709 (OP)
GOTY so far

>>717469712
Its a non-issue. Your movement isn't hindered, theres plenty of spots to go to and be on without being in the blood, and you have more than enough camellia if you do manage to get corruption

>>717472047
ignore me just do this guy did >>717472003

Pleasantly surprised by how fun the magic system is. Thanks to whoever suggested the 1 handed sword's dodge r1 chain a couple days ago, it's so much better there's no comparison.
Btw is there any reason we find those spider pots? pic related is how I imagine they were created.

>>717448108
i'm stuck on this boss...

>Good ending is accepting that what happened, happened and moving on
>True ending is cheating the system and living in cope
Doesn't get anymore chinese than that. Cheat if you can get away with it!

>>717473434
What are you talking about? It's literally the opposite. Stop taking the word of some random AI generated guide and listen to what the actual game says.

>>717473223
Are you using long sword? Are you using Long sword's block equivalent?

>>717473727
no but the tutorial did pop up saying about block and parry before this fight, so obviously whist its not required probably a good idea if i try it like they suggest.
originally i was using the chainwhip LS the whole time since getting it, which doesn't really have an evade and is more AoE with its skill.
so i switched to sword just cheesing and staying far away, with the passive skyborn stacks and burn spells. i almost killed her like that but once i get hit it's almost 1 shot and don't get time to heal. i'll try using the default starter longsword with the evade i guess.

when i say stuck, probably 20 or less deaths so far but yeah kinda annoying for an early boss. i can't dodge her combos so good.

>>717474181
LongSword's parry discipline upgrade in the skill tree specifically in this game lets you immediately take your turn back anytime a humanoid boss swings a sword at you.
Dual Swords and axes have a similar thing where they take reduced damage swinging through enemy swings which is pretty cool

>>717472681
They got jarred

>>717448996
The armor you can get after defeating the rebel general is pretty much built to fight the Ming general. He's way easier with high slash and pierce resistance.

>>717474181
If you're gonna use 1hand sword, you can spam evasive maneuver. It lasts for 2 seconds so time it accordingly. You'll get your skyborn might back when you evade a hit with it. You should also be making use of Alacrity and the spells that say they have it. They allow you to dodge a hit during a certain part of the animation but you can't just use them willy nilly, you gotta time it so you dont get hit by a follow up attack.

>>717474384
Oh I hadn't noticed that. They're all the past wuchangs.

>>717474719
What, no theyre not...they dont look like her at all

>>717474347
>>717474648
ohh, i thought you had to unlock the discipline menu with some progress, since mine is locked. i was just using whatever the weapons have, thinking i can't change yet.
but i guess it just opens when i actually buy one on impetus tree?
im dumb, but in my defence this game has a lot of confusing terminology etc.

>>717475070
Impetus has branching skill trees you can reset at any time at no cost. There's useful spell stuff that branches off the line that goes left.
You gotta unlock the disciplne on the impetus menu and when you do you get it in the discipline menu for all weapons of that type.

>>717474923
Probably hit the wall in the jar.

>>717467318
I'm Chinese and even I can't tell the pingying names apart

>>717469297
elden ring

focus on fast-paced combat with dodging being your main defense mechanic

>>717475618
thats not how you play elden ring

>Hand over the Dough Figurine of Mu Guiyang
Where is this is my inventory? It's not with key icons or consumables.

>>717470950
made for Wu Gang

who the fuck is this and where is he?

>>717474347
okay i killed her easily with deflect lol
guess i should have payed attention to that tutorial popup

>>717476237
looks like Matchstick?

>>717476305
thanks, idk why he went to the deepest part of that level's anus though

Why does your pirate bro start losing it? He's not feathering.

Finished Wuchang a few days ago and someone from these threads recommended AI Limit as something to play next. It's really scratching that itch Wuchang left behind in terms of the exploration, good recommendation. I thought I was completely done with an area only to find out I missed an entire section that lead to an entirely different area. I love that shit.

Just finished it. The plot goes completely schizo after Zhenwu and the final area felt simultaneously rushed yet far too big.
Enjoyable overall though.

>elevator next to the first bo capital shrine
timed it for fun, 34 seconds. don't die.

>>717478895
i cant get super into the anime looks though
not for these kinds of games

Does anything bad fuck up if you go to Zhenwu before completing Cloudspire city? The only things I'm seeing are the two merchants moved to the camp and some of the old man encounters and his dialogue not making sense chronologically.

>>717479808
There's nothing really schizo about it at all. What do you mean?

>>717480739
Depends if you talked to the white robed old guy before going or not. If you didn't then you lost two boss fights and the true ending.

>NG
>first try Fang Ling
>NG+

What are the gold bird supposed to represent? There's four of them at the altar after beating your obsession.

>>717482839

dual blades is for trannys

Also
>the place where you make the ring of samsara is your skill tree
i clapped

that guy in shu temple sells a jade that says it "increases magic damage"

When I temper my weapon with fire using the fire needle shit....is this considered now magic damage and buffed by the jade? or is magic damage literally only applicable to the spells you cast?

>>717483012
No theres a needle that applies magic damage too

>>717483193
oh so "fire damage" is not considered magic damage? guess magic is just non elemental and it's own type?
confusing shit.

>want to use the titty wench's fox armor now that I beat her
>absolute DOGSHIT stats
>drops my slash resist by like 50 points

This is fucking stupid. Give me a fucking glamour system

>>717483263
Yeah those are just status effects and dont scale with anything. You can buff them however with Benedictions and Talismans.

>>717483340
It exists you fool.

Go over your armor and press triangle/yellow xbox button to apply glamour.

OH.
MY GOD

Is this as broken as it sounds for maximum ungabunga?

People kept asking about Huang Yan's son and where he was

So what are the giant red birds that fight the avians at the capital supposed to be?

>>717484254
>he says, with the jars sitting right behind him

>>717484528
It's birb blood magic, don't gotta explain shit

Is there a point in NG+ where the balance tilts back to the enemy? I've just gotten past the Bo Sorcerer and the lighting general, pretty much steamrolling through everything thus far

>>717484125
Y-you went through the whole game without realizing that?

where's the update?

>>717484528
Ancient avians that drank to much cool aid to reach godhood. Probably remnants of the bird civil war.

>you can summon god to help you against the final boss
talk about tilting things in your favor.

>he dies to a tsunami

Summoning on this fight sucks because the boss will attempt to jump to Duryal over and over and get out of your range
At least when it targets you it will come closer

>>717485002
yea

>your reward for doing all the side shit is getting tentacle raped into an eternal dream

hot, need to find a Wuchang lora now

So any other "don't fuck this up" things to keep in mind after finishing cloudspire castle? I'm going down the long pit. Anons warned me not to go into the basement first before going up to the top and warned me about not bricking my quests by finishing bandit camp first. I feel there's gonna be more FUCK YOU moments like this coming up

pls assit

>>717486141
>he is unaware

>I was struggling with a fucking centipede

TOO EASY, TOO EASY

>>717486238
After the tiger boss don't talk to the storyteller immediately when you find him but continue further down the road for more content
In chapter 4 when you come to the Reverent Temple again remember to talk to the girl outside before talking to He Youzai inside
Don't give Taoist the chisel
That should be about it for the main stuff

>>717486405
>>717486238
Be sure to finish up the white robed guys quest before finishing zhenwu temple.
Go visit where his quest ended after you reach the final area of the game.
Pick The wheel turns anew in the final area.
If you want to fight demon of obsession and get the sexo outfit.
