Black Myth: Wukong

2nd chapter boss isn’t that bad tbh. I nearly beat him 1st try. Not a boast!
Obvs second time I died almost instantly, as is the way :p got him 4th time. You just have to throw everything at him. You won’t win with just attacks.
There’s a thing you can get, don’t know what it’s called, think it’s top middle on the inventory screen, that you can use (R2 + L3) to completely nullify his windy stuff. in the item descriptions of that item slot - “works v well against certain enemies” … something like that

Well, he's not as bad to beat if you have that item ... which is from a secret area. Try beating him without it, though. Not impossible, but the stakes are raised considerably. Same strategy for the final boss in chapter 4 ; you need an item, again from a secret area, to more comfortably defeat him.

I was having a good time then I come up against the white clad noble and thought I'd beaten him and not so bad. Then he got back up and turned into a snake! No fair. As for the end, is there no such thing as cheats anymore? I can't be bothered with unbeatable bosses and will want to finish the game.

The free version of wemod gets you two hours of play time a day. You can change more or less any stat or modifier in the game. It got me through the road blocks.
 
Man, about 3/4 into the 3rd zone and I think I'm done.
I might have reached my skill limit.
It's super unnecessary for the generic level monsters to be THAT tough, with super awkward long and weirdly timed combos.

Combine that with the bland difficulty of just knowing where you're going in in zone 3 and all the fun is just gone :(

I realise the answer is to just Git Gud but I'm no spring chicken anymore.
I ain't got the time and have other stuff to do :D

It’s not a git gud thing. I realised at act 1 this was going to be one of those “up its own hole” super unnecessarily hard boss rush games very early on. Didn’t find the combat that special and the story was dire. I bought it for my 11 year old son and he is far better than me at gaming. To get an idea what I mean, he was owning Radhan in Elden Ring DLC final boss fight. He also loves Sekiro and has beat it multiple times.

He stopped playing Wukong at act 2 (I think) because he felt the fights were not fun or smooth like in Elden Ring, or Sekiro. At first I thought he meant performance, but after he explained it I knew he meant fun or fluid. He simply wasn’t enjoying it and moved on.

Which standard monsters are you having difficulty with ? There shouldn't be any major roadblocks outwith the bosses. Are you in the temple area ?

Yeah, in the temple complex.
I'm not a fan of the dude with tentacles, the jumping rat looking thing in the yellow coat or the tall guy with double spinning curved blade thingies :D

I might just need to take a breath and not just assume that regular enemies should be a relative walk in the park and need to be properly learned... but you know... Astro Bot is calling :cool:

Some of those are quite fast with their attacks - they have high damage output but low health. Two things : a) you don't need to kill everything in your path. Yes, you want to earn experience to gain new skills etc, but quite often you can just avoid, or run, past large groups of enemies. They don't have a large aggro radius, and generally won't pursue you for long. b) for mobs you need to kill, lock on to them, and use your charged attack ( 3 focus points ideally ). Many monsters will die in one hit, those that survive will be stunned/knocked over and only require 2-3 light attacks to finish them. This tactic works especially well in the temple area ... including those "blind" monks. But as I say, you can actually just ignore most of the enemies in that area and run past them.

ps. enjoy Astrobot. Think I'm going to get stuck into it properly this afternoon, too.

That temple complex massively frustrated me too, I swear I died 10+ times to the guy who jumped out of the well...

I took a break towards the end of chapter 3 to play some Astro Bot last night (super fun game, genuinely deserving all the great reviews so far) and then came back this morning to chapter 3 and blitzed it! I think it sometimes is worth just taking a short break from throwing yourself at a boss or route to a boss!

Yeah that well guy can go jump off a cliff. I did NOT like him :(
And the huge distance to the spawn point (which I'm noticing a lot as the game progresses) ain't helping.
But yeah... a rest sounds nice. Step back and recharge !! :cool:
 
Arrghh, I did New Game+ and have everything now, except a stupid curio which you only get if you kill all 9 of those weird lamp things that appear in the prison on chapter 3, but I already killed the boss so they won't spawn now.

I can't see myself bothering with another run to get it. Takes too long.
 
Well I have been on this most of today, cant seem to put it down.

Just started chapter 4, that Yellowbrow boss was a tough one, especially when most of your spells wont work.

bugger. I beat that boss yesterday :mad:
 
Finally finished chapter 3. The annoying pagoda, the samey easy-to-get-lost snow forests, the big temple area with few save points, the overall length of the chapter. It's a pretty big mar on the game for me so far. Definitely glad to have gotten it over and done with.
 
I finally dropped the white clad noble. After God knows how many attempts. Then I beat the black wind guy first time then after a couple of attempts I beat the guy who looks like the brother of wandering wight. Then I'm a bit stuck because it's not obvious what I must do next? There is an indicator on the travel map, looks like an i? So there must be an npc to talk too?
 
Well i've got my 100% achievement for the game now, the long tedious grind for Curios and helm were a bit of a pain but overall wasn't too bad.
Look forward to their future DLC, i'm hoping it carries on some of the plot points in the game and maybe some back story boss rush as Wukong against the celestial heaven court and maybe his encounter with Buddha.
