I also feel like the game didn't explain to newcomers about how your blue gauge is like a "CASHOUT" mechanism. The more you have, the more damage gained when your finally use your heavy attack. You wanna mix your martial arts between your weak attacks, NOT your heavies to maintain decent blue until you find a good time to punish at 100% blue. you can include spells with your parried for building status too. You don't always have to heavy attack after your parry.
Dude thankkkkkkk you for this. Because this whole game I have been getting myself jussssst into the blue meter and instantly cashing out with a heavy every single time. I'm gonna keep this in mind from now on
Possible spoiler warning really good farming area is the stage where Lu Bu is the boss. If you do continuous loops around the wall of the fortress before you go in to fight Lu Bu you can level up really fast. I start at the gate to the boss encounter with Lu Bu and go left if you're facing the entrance to that fight and climb up the wall then fight the enemies on the wall all the way across then drop off the wall at its end and make your way back to the gate to Lu Bu. You can really get it worked out and streamlined to where you can do loops around really fast and depending on what level you are when you start you can level up each pass for a while. I went from around level 50 or so to level 84 in a pretty quick amount of time. The great thing is that there's multiple flags along the wall and out front of the wall.
At the end of the bridge use the fire crossbow to shoot the tiger and you can farm even faster. The wrestler with the mallet always performs a red attack first... easy farm
Be aggressive but not too aggressive (spamming the attack button) because the main mechanic of this game is to deflect enemies attack which I am bad at because I spam attack and get hit when they do charge attacks 😅
Pro tip. Just get all flags and your morale rank will be same as bosses and you won't lose it upon death. I didn't understand that . Makes the game a lot more fun.
If you wanna trivialize the game, go full earth with azure dragon set, then embed everything to spirit gain on deflect, and extra spirit damage. Wait for enemy to attack, one or two deflects will fill your spirit gauge, one spirit attack followed by the special glaive martial arts, and even bosses will be open for fatal strikes. The entire second half of the game was a cakewalk, multiple bosses one shot. Youre super chunky as well, can take a lot of damage. You can also do the dread star set for the hammer variant, it will destroy spirit even more. Just remember to decorate it into master smith, as its by far the best looking hammer.
yeah lotta “weird” titles going on. like i watched a video about “5 things the game doesn’t tell you” and it was all stuff covered within the first 20 minutes of the game 😂
Most TH-cam videos are just clickbait or basic stuff, I'm assuming the gaming world has become increasingly dumb over the years! Watched a video that stated top 5 things holding you back, point one was levelling lol
I think that the morale mechanic is a bad one. Wo Long, like Nioh, is a looter game. The whole endgame loop is to farm gear, make a perfect min maxed set, and level up. Problem is that grinding morale makes far more of a difference than your level or gear does, making your "build" more or less irrelevant.
It just makes farming easier honestly so if you need to kill a certain enemy repeatedly just makes it a win more mechanic makes your attack stronger and more defense
Gotta say, though it doesn't affect sound to keep you from getting stupid OP, the Water/stealth stat makes things so much easier. Water was my primary stat (I'm always a stealth first guy when the option is there), and by the end, they couldn't see me standing less than a dozen feet away, practically right in their faces. Sometimes I'd swear an enemy was going to see me taking out another, but they were just far enough way that I was able to avoid them. Or certain fights where you can hug the wall and get behind enemies that are positioned to see you almost no matter what.
Excellent breakdown of what each leveling category does. Thank you sooo much. This helps alot. I'm about 40 hrs in at level 72 and I haven't been scaling my gear right at all. I'm about to be a powerhouse.
I loved Sekiro and I’m loving this. It is a little more complex than Sekiro but it also adds on to that. The variety of spells/martial arts/weapons/etc just makes it amazing
@@Freedom-kl8rt I actually preferred the first nioh game, but they were both good. I wouldn't say they were any more complex, pretty equal just different tbh.
As hint & tricks; first step people should learn to mastering is the mechanics. combo regular attack, file the blue gauge, use buff/ debuff or skill attack, do it again & deflect when needed. Be aggressive. I uploaded some wo long video, i practiced this method on lu bu fight, using 2 npc, missing lots of the deflects i should done, but still winning the fight ^^
@@sepulcher8263 just summon them at the flag right before you enter the fight with him. But as OP was talking about, Lu bu will aggro the npcs a lot meaning you miss a lot of the deflects you need to get on him, he's a lot easier to beat if you fight him solo
Possible spoiler warning (but nothing too spoily) There's a bit of a jump in difficulty (imo) once you get to the level when you're first introduced to the tiger monster (also screw those damn tiger monsters!!!). So far the hardest boss for me was Lu Bu. Eventually I figured it out and it became easier.
So sorry to hear this, I hope a few measly seconds of gameplay showing next to nothing about 3 bosses that aren't even past the half way point didn't ruin the entire experience for you
@@Cheesecake98734 It still shows 3 bosses that I otherwise am nowhere near meeting. I was looking for "Early-Game or Beginner Tips". That implies tips for someone in Part 1 of the story or very early Part 2. the first thing you see is END of part 2 boss and Lu Bu who I can only assume is late game Part 4 onwards. Its not just as simple as "Oh no they showed me a boss". Its showing multiple bosses in a beginners guide that you won't see for hours that would have been a really cool surprise. Also don't get where the sarcasm has come from. I put a very valid point and you've made it seem like I'm being some whiny baby over a game
@Jacob Webb I don't think incorrect information is a valid point and no lu bu isn't late game he's mid game as I said in my reply none of these bosses are late game, and honestly seeing lu bu in a three kingdoms era based game isn't must of a surprise at all, and tbh going out your way to look at videos on a game you don't want spoiled, is kind of on you not the content creator, if you want the full experience don't look at beginner tips online, unless you are stuck on a specific thing that's how you avoid stuff getting spoiled. I'm just naturally sarcastic I can't help it sometimes I apologise for that part
@@Cheesecake98734 no its fine, you're right. I shouldn't bother watching vids on a game that I'm playing if I don't want it spoiled. Just sort of annoyed me cause I would have loved to have found out he's a boss later and had a proper buildup to it. now the surprise is gone it won't feel as great but yeah, i get what you mean. thanks 🙂👍
So for legendary gem effects can you only get those off weapons when you salvage them? Not just extracting a single gem? Last night I had a 4star nameless chest with the spirit vulnerability upon deflect I extracted it and I couldn’t find it anywhere in my list when trying to put it back on any piece of armor I had
Hi, i would like to do a water (main) and metal character build. Is it worth it? Cause i couldn't find any weapon scaling with water and metal together
Actually enjoy this game. I hate soul's like games but at least I know where to go and what to do in this game unlike elden. The morale system at first killed the enjoyment for me cause I thought you had to constantly grind . But all you do is get all flags in the area and your rank will always be the bosses level. And when u die u won't lose morale as long as you got your fortitude flags.. still don't understand all the builds and buff stuff. I'm on chapter 7.
The fact you made it through the entire game without understanding what builds are and how to do it correctly its honestly impressive, you probably made the game doubly difficult for yourself and still managed to get through it, well done 🤝🏻
Ur loosing so much not giving elden ring a real chance; a true masterpiece Wo long holds ur hand, elden ring doesnt; but once it clicks, it destroys wu long in every aspect❤ I also like wu l also
@@andreichetan4694 Elden ring doesn't destroy wo long in every way and elden ring holds your hand alot more than wo long does, elden ring you can find a spammable weapon and just r1 mash ur way through fights, wo long went for more of a sekiro kind of playstyle which is regarded as one of the better souls games
If I hold the block button will it still block for me even after attacking or deflecting a attack? As it’s such a pain that this first boss has so quick reactions. I tried taking it slow and attacking only when his Red special attack is shown and other times I go in there constantly hitting him which does great but by second fight he just does me instantly as I can’t get near him due to that bloody ice attack.
first phase be super aggressive but also not so aggressive you can’t react to any of his red attacks and when you’re on second phase run around until he does his grab and deflect it. that’s the strategy i’ve found to be easiest for me just play the second phase really slow and passive
What we need to unlock top spells ? Engulfing Inferno have a Complete ?? Is it a mission, or a boss we need to kill for it ? Cant find it on google 🙂 Thanks kindly.
I have to give you credit…out of the 6+ “beginner” videos I’ve watched you’ve explained the Virtues and Allies the best. I never knew if you maxed them out you got their armor
Strange title as you directed people to some mechanics but hardly supplied “5 worst mistakes to avoid”. It’s all pretty basic stuff, doubt I learned anything new. But. I guess for the slower among us, this may have helped. I’m eager for the next video. Don’t hold back this time!
I have an earth staff build. Using Hua Xiong's Rampancy gear it gives a set bonus. It is very heavy gear but I mop up everything pretty easily and the martial art that comes with the staff acts like a mob lawnmower. I went earth, water and fire. 30 earth makes you a mobile tank, 30 water is there for jumping on large mobs, I have 10 metal which makes keeping your spirit high very easy.
U listed basic mechanics and the first is a lie bc if you die twice then that qi will be gone and you don’t want to lose that earlier on In the game should of mentioned embedments instead
@@norzza I got to him yesterday morning I’ve been fighting him all day it’s going on one am now lol I think my poor controller is going to develop stick drift
More like Whoo gone. I’ve beat every souls game EXCEPT SEKIRO and the constant block rather than attack, and roll. It’s numbingly lackluster. I’d rather be aggressive than dance dance revolution. Have clip on Xbox my 40+ hits to their 7 NOOB BERRY PIE(Xbox activityfeed)
Yea game was fun for a few minutes, I got instantly bored when I got to the second boss, the screen is littered with UI, it's gross, distracting and makes me feel like I'm on an MMO I don't want No HuD, I want to customize it but there's so little to that without just full disable hud
This is indeed true the optimization is all over the place but that's because game companies are to stupid to do good optimization, for console companies they have entire teams dedicated to optimization so the game studios never have to do it.
Nobody saw the tiny intro splash, right?.... RIGHT? 😏
I saw it :/

Same here 😂😂my biggest mistake

Just getting comfortable with the controls helps too i Kept getting mixed up going for a Ki pulse lol nioh 2.
Moral rank is the most important essential thing in the game. Learn this fast or you will be having an extremely hard time.
And rest at the orange flags always so you can keep getting up to 25

I found this game is trivial compare to other soul like game
After the first boss everything is easier
@@vergillives9890 yep.
Ummmmm what were the 5 mistakes. Did I miss them. I was thinking may be this video should be called beginners guide.
yeah lotta “weird” titles going on. like i watched a video about “5 things the game doesn’t tell you” and it was all stuff covered within the first 20 minutes of the game 😂
Do take note that the very first time stamp is labeled "Wo Long Beginners Guide".
