That’s it! You have now beaten the first boss in Wo Long! I can’t promise you’ll beat him on your next try, but hopefully, victory feels more within reach now.Subscribe to Pure Xbox on YouTube Watch on YouTubeĪs much as we absolutely adore Team Ninja's PC and PlayStation-exclusive Nioh series, it often felt as though it bogged itself down a little bit too much with the depth of its combat mechanics and a certain heavy-handedness when it came to the importance of stamina with regards to every single action you took in battle. A cutscene will then play and end the fight. Once your Divine Beast Gauge is full, activate it by pressing the heavy attack and deflect buttons together. Thankfully, you don’t have to empty Zhang Liang’s health bar. If it’s starting to get low, see if you can get in a few light attacks or deflect attacks you are comfortable with. Be careful though, by blocking, you will need to keep an eye on your Spirit Gauge. Instead of trying to deflect everything, you may want to block and focus on deflecting his Critical Blows. While Liang’s second phase can attack you from a wide range, his animations are generally telegraphed well in advance, giving you a lot of time to prepare. Otherwise, you will waste too much of your precious Spirit Gauge and be left vulnerable. The worst thing you can do during this phase is panic, and avoiding that plays a major role in succeeding here. You may feel intimidated by his new beastly form and range of attack, but don’t let that get to you too much. Now, this is the part that can get some people stuck on Wo Long’s first boss for a long amount of time. However, if you can deflect these and keep up the pressure, you will beat this phase in no time. Be careful not to mash too much, as he can punish this with a Critical Blow (the glowing red attacks). This will make the fight go by a bit quicker. For example, following up with the Wizardry Spell “Blasting Flare” may eventually make Liang burn. If you don’t feel like it’s safe enough to do that though, deflect his initial attack animation instead and follow up with a light attack.Īfter you launch a string of light attacks, you may want to use a wizardry spell to start inflicting a status effect. Your Ring Pommel Sabre should be fast enough to interrupt his initial attack animations as long you strike with a light attack. Unless you are familiar enough with Liang’s animations, you don’t want to play too defensively here. This is the phase that many players can get past, but it doesn’t hurt to give some tips anyways. You might also want to equip the armor you have picked up during the level for better protection. This also unlocks Wizardry Spells, which might prove useful against Zhang Liang.

You can do this by stopping by a Battle Flag and leveling up by investing in one of the Five Phases. Player Stats: You’ll want to spend as much Genuine Qi as you have earned. This is important if you want to take less damage from the first boss of Wo Long.
