Took me 17 tries without knowing I could have gotten the wind talisman to make my life easier The kick is predictable lol thought it wasn't until I wanted to fight him without taking damage but only learn his moves. The the tornado is what got me majority of the time. Never use a pluck of many my guy cuz u will lose all ur stamina if u haven't got through ng+ u will be lacking. I use rock solid when the use sand statue comes broo is the greatest feeling I have
Erlang is still harder that man is a literal hacker, his moves are so delayed or fast is difficult to react, he has infinite amount of combos and lets not even talk about that shield
This game made me crash out soooooo much that I developed anger issues 😂😂😂 I battled and died so much to that guy that I became numb to it. When I beat him, it felt like I had won a Nobel Prize lmaoooo
No lie. I almost beat on my first try, without the special item. I genuinely thought that it was secret boss at first but when I found out it was the final boss of that chapter. I immediately went to try and find other secrets before fighting him again.
I feel what makes yellow wind sage so difficult is the difficulty step up like yeah chapter 1 wasnt that hard and most other bosses were a little more difficult but the yellow wind sage kicks it up a notch by a lot and considering that most players are not that well experienced so far with the game it may be difficult for them and it doesnt help that yellow wind sage has MASSIVE health a light combo is like tickling him not to mention the second phase is god awful since you got a tornado and he steps out of the arena making him invisible while hes out of it
You’re not wrong. I spent like 5 hours just to beat him and Tiger Vanguard. How could you know about Wind Tamer, it’s a secret item and I completely missed it.
@@zeke_fin1080 usually, I'd just stop playing because I don't think extremely hard games are fun to play but there's something about this game that keeps me wanting to play. Got home from work the second determined to beat him, played for two hrs, turned it off then said one more and that's when I got him.
Beat him first try after a rough night and not sleeping much. Took a nap, walked in what looked like a boss area and played like crap but nailed him in the end. I was so sleepy I got hit in the beginning and accidentally double healed but I all I did in the end was to get clipped a few times and perfect dodged him most of the time. White Clad Noble is my most deaths so far along with the first big head encounter, mainly because I was still getting used to the game. Most other bosses in Chapter 1-2 I mostly one shot or had two tries before winning at most. Fun game, chapter 3 next.
He's not that bad. The trick is to ignore the surroundings of the sandstorm and just keep a distance away from his tornado spell. The sandstorm makes a lot of players think they are in a stressful environment, but it's just theatrics.
He's a great fight. I like that you understand that beetle attack much better if you complete the side quest where you get to help him and fight along side him in the past.
i did some experimenting on a new game save so i could replay and re-learn some of the bosses. from my testing it looks like the camera will go slightly birds-eye view when he gets ready to do the kick? however; the camera will also pan that way when he does his weird somersault move, but 90% sure the camera always goes birds-eye view when he winds up for the kick.
Am I the only one that found him quite easy? I mean I did have the vessel because I explored a lot and found it before the boss. The only boss I struggled in the entire game was Erlang, but I did beat him in less than 10 tries. I am a veteran souls player with over 3k hours combined through all of them.
Veteran souls player here too, over 10k hours, wokong isn’t hard. Didn’t die more than 3 times to any boss, beat most first try (this rat too), don’t really get where the difficulty lies
I'm a die-hard Nioh 2 player who played the other recent Team Ninja games, and also have a few soul-like games under my belt (ER, Bloodborne, and Sekiro) so I'm used to a fast-paced and aggressive playstyle, and found the majority of the bosses so far pretty easy, taking me 1-2 tries. I'm about to finish Ch 5 but so far the bosses that I found "challenging" still took me around 5-6 tries max (Yellow Loong, Scorpion King, and I think Yaksha King about to be added to the list). They were enjoyable because I actually had to lock in, but as far as difficulty, I think the game is pretty fair and accessible. They did advertise that it's not going to be that hard compared to those types of games that we all listed, but it's still enjoyable.
If you having a hard time , you should consider explore the other area and possible to get help, it's the same spirit with the novel, the game is originally make for Chinese , some idea is easily confuse for the other people.
I'm definitely going to fight this boss w/o the chime next playthrough. I had a feeling he was the main boss during my first encounter. I did bring him down to 1/3 of his health during my first fight. I didn't want to miss the other bosses so I backed out after that first fight. With the chime, I brought him down right away, so 2 fights in total.
Somehow on my first run I've beaten all chapter bosses without doing the secret areas first. On my second run for the true ending, I got the special relics, and oh man were the bosses exponentially easier. I've went from having multiple tries to just a couple few. For the Yellow Wind Sage, the wind and kick attacks feel like bs because they're just very cheap punishers that feel undeserved. Punishers should be a more well telegraphed attack that catches you when you're being greedy or not paying too much attention. These moves aren't punishers, they're "it's time to damage you because fk u I guess" moves. The wind talisman does make the fight exponentially easier, but why does it have to be locked behind a secret area? Many people (me included) missed these on their first run since they can feel like some Elden Ring npc quest, but those were optional and you could still beat the game with next to no difference without having them finished (aside from a few endings).
Totally understandable but in his second phase there’s telegraphs that he has whenever he finishes a combo string. You’ll notice it if you rewatch your clips. At the end of a combo string (when you’re finally able to attack) he’ll react one of three ways. If he slightly spreads his arms out with his palms being near his waist like he’s about to hug you that means he’s gonna do the kick grab attack, this is hard to notice at first because he only slightest spreads his arms to the side near his waist but it’s worth noticing. If he continues the finishing animation of his last attack he’ll most likely do a delayed stomp with his right leg which doesn’t have a follow-up meaning you can dodge and keep attacking. And lastly if he stops his animation WITHOUT slightly spreading his arms that means he’s gonna jump backwards giving you time to heal or run towards him. If he jumps backwards he can now do any combo but he will NEVER kick after jumping backwards. Side note. Be careful when dodging behind him after he finishes a combo, he’ll most likely do a swing behind his back and follow up with the golden slam ranged attack
Man it's funny some bosses like this and Yellow Long I got first go but ones that people like or didn't have problems with gave me the fits, like Yin Tiger and Duskveil for example.
In the original story, the Yellow Wind dude is one of the few that could fight Wukong to a standstill. He had to go to Lingji to ask for help and that's where the wind tamer came in, which subdued the Yellow Wind dude's unfair advantage and allowed Wukong to win and pass that trial. I think it is supposed to be so punishing that you start thinking there must be another way to beat this fool. Remember that he said that he beaten Wukong again and implore his master to favor him again when you died. I guess this is a little unfair to those who are not Chinese and never been exposed to the original material because at some point you will get so frustrated that the wind taming pearl or wind tamer in this game will likely pop into your head and you go search for something similar, and that's when you are likely to encounter the optional boss. It's a collective cultural memory. Think of the common lore in many western mythologies and troupes that you might encounter in a game that could have given you a clue to defeat a monster, like garlic and vampires! Now that you guys have encounter this boss, you will likely be in tune with this Chinese classic and the next time you see this character in any media, you will know to say "go get the wind taming sht first!"
I beat this guy in two attempts. The key is that wind tamer thing. Erlang is much more of a pain in the ass, I’ve fought him like 50 times and just can’t beat him. By comparison, old windy pants is a piece of piss.
people stuck at him are obviously the ones having no wind tamer, trying to beat him without it and you can feel the pain. I beat him on 2 save files, one with the vessel and one without. Without it took me more tries then Erlang Shen. And im pretty good at this type of game, beat Wukong 4 times without any death
Almost defeated him without the wind tamer on 4 tries. I forgot to equip the wind tamer.Then with wind tamer, 2 tries. They said it was hard but I felt none of it and felt the opposite. Due to almost quitting against garfield, this boss attacks felt very telegraphic.
after hearing so many people having problem with this boss, i was pretty discourage to meet him. But i actually beat him on first tried and im not sure how that even happen. now that yellow long is a whole different story for me. took me 2 days finally defeat him.
It’s not until chapter 5 where I found out all these end chapter bosses have specific weakness items against them. So yeah, I struggled a bunch against this dude, but that centipede old man at end of chapter 4 took it to a whole different level of suffering
Got him second try and that’s only because I rolled into his arena without resting and got caught off gaurd. If you have wind tamer he’s nothing. We lang wasn’t that bad either. Took me like 12 tries till I understand I could respec endlessly and pluck of many will destroy most bosses if fully upgraded and deployed at the right time.
I'm glad to see i'm not the only one who got bullied for like +2hours by this boss on first playthrough.That kick grab is a menace. And when he is close to die, he just spamms the most annoying moves again and again until you die (LOL), and you can't touch him sometimes... i took such a sweet revenge on NG+ 😤
i totally agree as well, the level design for yellow wind sage is overpowering for the 1st playthrough.. i die more times vs the great sage broken shell & Er lang diea count combine..
Not gonna lie, yellow wind sage was CAKE for me. It took 3 tries. The secret area gives you the wind tamer, he’s fodder. Tiger Vanguard messed me up way more. Captain Wise-Voice was my first wall.
I don't know why he was so hard for so many. I beat him in 3 or 4 tries. I found him much easier when I just really paid attention to what he was doing versus frantically attacking. I think that's what most people were doing.
I died about 30 times before i memorized his attack. Also that tiger vanguard made me realize that i need to take this game seriously. Idied 35 times before i memorized his attack hahahah
The thing about this is yeah the Yellow Wind Sage is hard but only if he isn't the last boss you fight in Chapter 2. I tried fighting him when only about 60-65% of Chapter 2 was done and got my ass handed to me. I left and did everything else I missed, got some upgrades for my gourd, the Wind Tamer, and a better staff. I also did some upgrading for my spells, stances, health, and stamina. With all that done I went back to fight him again and he was still a challenge but right away he felt beatable this time and it wasn't too long before I finally did. So just make sure he's the last thing in Chapter 2 that you do and you should be ready for him.
Erlang Shen needs a Narf!!! Seriously he’s the cheapest boss in the game. His shield needs a longer cooldown. Plus the giant phase needs to be a cut scene. Considering how difficult the main fight was. Not a multi phase battle phase in their giant forms. As after the main battle with Erlang Shen. I wasn’t expecting another battle phase with Erlang Shen. Now in giant phase. Which I’m stuck on. Since I had to get to work today.
I beat him without wind tamer only because I didn’t know about it and so much bs kicks tornados hiding behind the background for invulnerability but other than that it’s about endurance.
Yellow wind sage has been getting everyone … but me 😂 yall must have not explored… farmed … secrets… just rammed yall head into a brick wall till it eventually fell over huh 😂
Same, cause I beat him in like 4 tries and I'm like " I thought he was supposed to be hard", but I guess it helped since I did everything before fighting him.
This game is so funny. Certain bosses people struggle with, I fly by then others that have me hell, people complete in just a couple attempts lmao. Of course having certain objects helps but damn. Love this game regardless
Not bragging but it took me 3 times to beat the rat king 1st time getting his moves set 2nd wrong summons 3rd used the wind charm after a little searching
I don't know, with hitting wolfey and stone head right at the beginning and then later again and the immobilisation all the time, while a hard fight, it was not that many runs for me. Wind myst guy and especially crouching tiger were harder for me (less skill points) felt much more annoying and gave me the Soulslike burnout. After the tiger all bosses so far felt pretty much ok (i just killed the ice dragon in chapter 3) and the Souls feeling is gone. I take my time with the game to make it a real journey. So i played Gori Cuddly Carnage, Boltgun and now Space Marine 1 in between. And on Monday i will fight for the emperor again and i can't wait.
That’s really odd isnt it ? The intro for Wukong was so good and then for the first 2 chapters, the game mostly feels a soulslike. But the more you progress and unlock some abilities the more that feeling of Deja vu with soulslike disappears. By the end of the game, wukong has earned its own identify, which is mostly a mix of multiple genres I am playing and chilling in Astro Bot eagerly waiting for the next big thing for me which is Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero 🥋
The boss wasnt that hard honestly. It's a good teaching moment in the game. Like - 8:40 you got punished for dodging into him there was nothing unfair about him landing that hit. the best approach for me was just being aggressive and using cloud step to reposition or avoid his wind phase. didnt even use the wind tamer.
Idk man, first try beat him and i wasnt over leveled or anything. Although this game is hard for sure, i died like 20+ times against some bosses. And i beat all souls games and would like to consider myself a veteran
one of the easiest actually, in wukong if u know how to play and what to do u ll never get frustrated , the first real challenge in my first playthrough was yellow loong, this one instead was one of the easiest. (i'm a souls player so i'm used to high difficulty fights and this one is not, he has a normal moveset, the mad tiger is harder than him cuz the tiger is more aggressive, he is pretty chill actually if we look to other bosses in the same game and chapter)
This boss was not that difficult. But then again I had the wind tamer without realizing it was clutch against this boss, so it only took me a few tries to beat him. I thought the Hundred Eyed Daoist was tougher
It’s so weird Hundred eyes daoist only take me 1-2 try (not sure 1 or 2) Red boy 1 try But this yellow wind take me many tries I don’t have wind tamer that time The most epic boss for me, because so big and many moves So much awesome fight But ch 4 and 5 so easy I’m feel so dissapointed
I try to beat this boss but really got trouble in phase 3, for my knowledge of journey to the west, must have wind tamer to defeat him, im not sure that the developer bring it on the game. After doing side quest and achieve new vessel name wind tamer, at that moment i sure as hell that i can easily beat him
I made a point to make absolutely sure that I had enough mana to cast the rock solid spell each time he did that fucking kick-grab move so the bastard would stub his toed every damn time. Edit: The kick actually does have a tell, he screams right before he does it, or well maybe not a scream but he makes an audible sound, like a grunt, there is an audio que.
I…ummm…I’m not exactly trying to brag but I somehow beat Yellow Wind Sage without the Wind Tamer within 5 tries. I was actually surprised when people actually struggled with it. Erlang on the other hand…
I would say he is one of the strongest in the game. He is slow but hits like two trucks glued together. He has the biggest grab hitbox known to men and He completely nullifies your immobilize
Yin tiger gave me stomach cramps 2 times due to stress. Oh man the relief after beating him, never felt better since winning against ng+ gmgow sigrun until the erlan shang fight happened. Winning against that guy is the best feeling i have playing a game.
i think one of your main problem, atleast judging by these clips... Is that you never used your 4 focus point heavy attacks... you couldve had free hits from the 4 focus heavy attack stagger... You probably could've had a different experience.
I would just use rock solid on the kick 100% success rate and got a free light attack combo, and don't get me started on that tornad!!! I came so close like4 time and the tornado ruin my run or his other grab attack he dose after the tornado
Idk I remember people hyping him up I was worried then I found out he was pretty easy to stagger compared to the vanguard tiger, not a insane amount of help compared to the dragons or even the secret boss. Most the time his combos completely missed me and I didn’t even have to dodge, to address on of your video points imo his command grab is a joke compared to the yin tiger and others it’s pretty telegraphed smell that shit from a mile away. His cloud step is a joke as well compared to the yin tiger or even the void one. The most annoying part of this fight is him going into the storm and his little tornado for sure I agree but his attack are so telegraphed in my opinion once you fight him for a while they are still avoidable. Maybe I just got lucky in my fights with him it did still take me a good amount of tries because I’m ass lol I think I understood what they were going for with his fight because he himself is a joke without it(also I didn’t know of the bell also before he fight didn’t even realize he was the stage boss)
I was casually exploring Chapter 2 when I stumbled upon this Guy. I was unprepared and thought okay, maybe this is just another boss and not THE main boss And yeah, The Yin Tiger grab is actually Horseshit
I’m done I’m out this game is insanely hard yellow loong is driving me crazy this I don’t understand why people like to torture themselves with a game like this it makes no sense where is the escapism real life is already hard enough why would i want that type of difficulty in my games I’ve already broken to controller charger cords because of these infuriating bosses
It’s baffling to me that everyone is talking about this dude n not the chapter 4 final boss cuz besides erlang n wukong that dude is for sure the hardest boss idgaf what nobody says. I beat this dude in less than 10 tries 😂
Yellowbrow with his bullshit cutscene health mechanic was the worst for me. Why they would design any boss that deals damage during an almost unvoidable attack is beyong me. I beat this wind guy in about 10 tries without the bell.
I've had harder time against buff garfield than this boss. Garfield took me 2 nights the same with yin tiger and yellow loong. yellow sage 5 tries. Did not even sweat.
The little amount of damage you do in general is disheartening at times the Wind Sage fight felt dragged out compared to other fights except for YellowBrow homie gold mode is annoying. Plus unless you cover every inch of the map you'll miss a Quest to make WS easier, 3 bosses and a transformation that makes the fight way easier.
Fighting erlan shang is the only one made me felt that a boss was unbeatable. I thought it will took me atleast a week just from the first try. Luckily,only took 6hrs. Beat wukong the same night. Did not even felt hard
All this means to me is that there's 18 million of you that didn't do the secret area and get the Wind Tamer vessel😂
Not to brag but it only took me 35 tries to beat him.
@@OvnicentAparatus it broke me down finding out about the wind tamer item after a 50 tries 🥲😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same lmfaooo
Took me 17 tries without knowing I could have gotten the wind talisman to make my life easier
The kick is predictable lol thought it wasn't until I wanted to fight him without taking damage but only learn his moves. The the tornado is what got me majority of the time. Never use a pluck of many my guy cuz u will lose all ur stamina if u haven't got through ng+ u will be lacking. I use rock solid when the use sand statue comes broo is the greatest feeling I have
Not to brag but it only took me 1 try to beat him.
Erlang is still harder that man is a literal hacker, his moves are so delayed or fast is difficult to react, he has infinite amount of combos and lets not even talk about that shield
@@Yahikos_Pain erlang I still can’t beat him
This game made me crash out soooooo much that I developed anger issues 😂😂😂 I battled and died so much to that guy that I became numb to it. When I beat him, it felt like I had won a Nobel Prize lmaoooo
That Randy Orton punt was pissing me off 😂
Watch Out Watch Out!
No lie. I almost beat on my first try, without the special item. I genuinely thought that it was secret boss at first but when I found out it was the final boss of that chapter. I immediately went to try and find other secrets before fighting him again.
Yellow Wind Sage was a cake walk took 3 trys Erlang shen tho he is hard took 27 trys.

“Yellow Wind sage KICKS IT UP A NOTCH…”
Of All the verbs you could have used 😭😭
You’re not wrong. I spent like
5 hours just to beat him and Tiger Vanguard. How could you know about Wind Tamer, it’s a secret item and I completely missed it.
I was so mad when I got the wind tamer since I was already in chapter 4. But that Cloudtreading Deer is on another level with the tornados 💀
@@zeke_fin1080 Yellow Wind was easy for me. It took two days of play to beat Tiger Vanguard.
@@kinoelliott8770 Jeez! Two days…did you thought giving up at any point? Because I almost did tbh. But glad I didn’t.

Your totally right at the first playthrough he's insufferable
Probably where most people quit the game. That’s unfortunate since they could’ve kept playing and then quit against Erlang
Idk I beat him in 4 tries without the relic. Erlang took me a whole day.
If you having a hard time , you should consider explore the other area and possible to get help, it's the same spirit with the novel, the game is originally make for Chinese , some idea is easily confuse for the other people.
got killed 6 times by this boss, and I didnt have the wind vessel. I didnt know it existed on my first playthrough... -_-
I subbed bro and MAN WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS ON YELLOW WIND SAGE FOR 4 days please believe me im a souls game expert and he was very annoying to me
The tiger vanguard was by far the hardest so far and I’m chapter 4 now

I was bullied.... perished many times but he was very easy when I equippped the rat spirit that improves your focus with perfect dodge
I really laughed when you said he would be doing getsuga tensho while outside arena 🤣

I’m still stuck on this punk. He makes me so mad bro. Lol.
Idk I feel like everybody complaining about the wind Sage DEFINITELY hasn’t seen the yin tiger. He was way harder to me than the wind Sage😂
*_*Me in my full bull kings set, dark iron staff, & spell bind build entering the arena;_*
"Cute dmg..."
The Mad Tiger was more freaky imho.
I liked how the Yellow Wind sage was encouraging to explore more to get the Wind Tamer
Man it's funny some bosses like this and Yellow Long I got first go but ones that people like or didn't have problems with gave me the fits, like Yin Tiger and Duskveil for example.

I beat it by accident before two other bosses that would give special things to get him and I was surprised when chapter ended
I beat this guy in two attempts.
The key is that wind tamer thing.
Erlang is much more of a pain in the ass, I’ve fought him like 50 times and just can’t beat him.

I had to lock in to beat him. Then, realizing there was an item that counters his winds....after i beat him.
You said that you don't have a cloud step , but we have got it since chapter 1 from first fight with black wind.
after hearing so many people having problem with this boss, i was pretty discourage to meet him. But i actually beat him on first tried and im not sure how that even happen. now that yellow long is a whole different story for me. took me 2 days finally defeat him.
Tons of patience for that boss
The kick,the gigantic summon, the sandstorm,the tornado, and nights being kicked dead,that's when you learn you need some godly item from above.🎉😅😂
It’s not until chapter 5 where I found out all these end chapter bosses have specific weakness items against them. So yeah, I struggled a bunch against this dude, but that centipede old man at end of chapter 4 took it to a whole different level of suffering
Him and yellow brow almost made me break my TV
Got him second try and that’s only because I rolled into his arena without resting and got caught off gaurd. If you have wind tamer he’s nothing. We lang wasn’t that bad either. Took me like 12 tries till I understand I could respec endlessly and pluck of many will destroy most bosses if fully upgraded and deployed at the right time.
I'm glad to see i'm not the only one who got bullied for like +2hours by this boss on first playthrough.That kick grab is a menace. And when he is close to die, he just spamms the most annoying moves again and again until you die (LOL), and you can't touch him sometimes... i took such a sweet revenge on NG+ 😤
i totally agree as well, the level design for yellow wind sage is overpowering for the 1st playthrough.. i die more times vs the great sage broken shell & Er lang diea count combine..
Not gonna lie, yellow wind sage was CAKE for me. It took 3 tries. The secret area gives you the wind tamer, he’s fodder. Tiger Vanguard messed me up way more.
Captain Wise-Voice was my first wall.
No cap, I whooped on Cuh Fareal. I’m having issues with YellowFatBIH
I don't know why he was so hard for so many. I beat him in 3 or 4 tries. I found him much easier when I just really paid attention to what he was doing versus frantically attacking. I think that's what most people were doing.
Beat him within four times but I was almost level 70! Finding the white dragon in chapter 3 harder than him!!
Midway through chapt 4 and hardest challenge so far for me was the white noble snake guy and yellow brow. I think I died 4 or 5 times to this guy tho
I died about 30 times before i memorized his attack. Also that tiger vanguard made me realize that i need to take this game seriously. Idied 35 times before i memorized his attack hahahah
Vanguard was harder for me beat Wind Sage try 2 lol. To be fair I used Wind Tamer for the sandstorm
I beat him on my first try, maxed out my duplicate monkeys, and kept freezing him
The thing about this is yeah the Yellow Wind Sage is hard but only if he isn't the last boss you fight in Chapter 2.
I tried fighting him when only about 60-65% of Chapter 2 was done and got my ass handed to me. I left and did everything else I missed, got some upgrades for my gourd, the Wind Tamer, and a better staff. I also did some upgrading for my spells, stances, health, and stamina.
With all that done I went back to fight him again and he was still a challenge but right away he felt beatable this time and it wasn't too long before I finally did. So just make sure he's the last thing in Chapter 2 that you do and you should be ready for him.
Erlang Shen needs a Narf!!! Seriously he’s the cheapest boss in the game. His shield needs a longer cooldown. Plus the giant phase needs to be a cut scene. Considering how difficult the main fight was. Not a multi phase battle phase in their giant forms. As after the main battle with Erlang Shen. I wasn’t expecting another battle phase with Erlang Shen. Now in giant phase. Which I’m stuck on. Since I had to get to work today.
I beat him without wind tamer only because I didn’t know about it and so much bs kicks tornados hiding behind the background for invulnerability but other than that it’s about endurance.
Took me two days to be him and the tiger vanguard now I’m stuck on the 100 Daoist and duskveil 😢
Beat him first try and didn't even use the wind gadget. First boss to have me pulling my hair out was the scorpion Lord.
Yeah let em know lmao that stamina bar 1st play through is NASTY!!!
That's hilarious, I got him on my second try. And to top it off we traded the first time I fought him
Yin Tiger is tougher. This sage is cake. Moves are pretty solid to remember, like a pattern.
Yellow wind sage has been getting everyone … but me 😂 yall must have not explored… farmed … secrets… just rammed yall head into a brick wall till it eventually fell over huh 😂
ur so cool!
Same, cause I beat him in like 4 tries and I'm like " I thought he was supposed to be hard", but I guess it helped since I did everything before fighting him.
@@gillsejusbates6938😂😂😂
@@gillsejusbates6938 You clownin bro but that's why you still stuck on a rat
You just gotta do the secret quest for the wind sage that’s all fam
Ya I did it w/o the windtamer first go around lmfao. Lots and lots of deaths but it was still fun!
This game is so funny. Certain bosses people struggle with, I fly by then others that have me hell, people complete in just a couple attempts lmao. Of course having certain objects helps but damn.
Love this game regardless
Same. Chapter 3 final boss Golden buddah dude was my first wall dude PISSED ME OFF
Not bragging but it took me 3 times to beat the rat king
1st time getting his moves set
2nd wrong summons
3rd used the wind charm after a little searching
Depends on what you fight him with
you could dispel ALL THAT instantly WHEN you use the side quest item, NP.
I don't know, with hitting wolfey and stone head right at the beginning and then later again and the immobilisation all the time, while a hard fight, it was not that many runs for me. Wind myst guy and especially crouching tiger were harder for me (less skill points) felt much more annoying and gave me the Soulslike burnout. After the tiger all bosses so far felt pretty much ok (i just killed the ice dragon in chapter 3) and the Souls feeling is gone. I take my time with the game to make it a real journey. So i played Gori Cuddly Carnage, Boltgun and now Space Marine 1 in between. And on Monday i will fight for the emperor again and i can't wait.
That’s really odd isnt it ? The intro for Wukong was so good and then for the first 2 chapters, the game mostly feels a soulslike. But the more you progress and unlock some abilities the more that feeling of Deja vu with soulslike disappears. By the end of the game, wukong has earned its own identify, which is mostly a mix of multiple genres
I am playing and chilling in Astro Bot eagerly waiting for the next big thing for me which is Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero 🥋
The hardest was Yellow Loong and the Scorpion was a close second. The last 2 bosses were way easier.
The boss wasnt that hard honestly. It's a good teaching moment in the game. Like - 8:40 you got punished for dodging into him there was nothing unfair about him landing that hit. the best approach for me was just being aggressive and using cloud step to reposition or avoid his wind phase. didnt even use the wind tamer.
Idk man, first try beat him and i wasnt over leveled or anything. Although this game is hard for sure, i died like 20+ times against some bosses. And i beat all souls games and would like to consider myself a veteran
one of the easiest actually, in wukong if u know how to play and what to do u ll never get frustrated , the first real challenge in my first playthrough was yellow loong, this one instead was one of the easiest. (i'm a souls player so i'm used to high difficulty fights and this one is not, he has a normal moveset, the mad tiger is harder than him cuz the tiger is more aggressive, he is pretty chill actually if we look to other bosses in the same game and chapter)
This boss was not that difficult. But then again I had the wind tamer without realizing it was clutch against this boss, so it only took me a few tries to beat him. I thought the Hundred Eyed Daoist was tougher
It’s so weird
Hundred eyes daoist only take me 1-2 try (not sure 1 or 2)
Red boy 1 try
But this yellow wind take me many tries
I don’t have wind tamer that time
The most epic boss for me, because so big and many moves
So much awesome fight
But ch 4 and 5 so easy
I’m feel so dissapointed
I try to beat this boss but really got trouble in phase 3, for my knowledge of journey to the west, must have wind tamer to defeat him, im not sure that the developer bring it on the game. After doing side quest and achieve new vessel name wind tamer, at that moment i sure as hell that i can easily beat him
Oh I never knew that was actually part of the novel as well.
I made a point to make absolutely sure that I had enough mana to cast the rock solid spell each time he did that fucking kick-grab move so the bastard would stub his toed every damn time.
Edit: The kick actually does have a tell, he screams right before he does it, or well maybe not a scream but he makes an audible sound, like a grunt, there is an audio que.
Yellow loong is the mountain I can’t climb
Asmongold beat this boss without the use of the wind tamer. and the guy got wrecked in the Elden Ring DLC.
Bishui takes the cake
I…ummm…I’m not exactly trying to brag but I somehow beat Yellow Wind Sage without the Wind Tamer within 5 tries.
I was actually surprised when people actually struggled with it.
Erlang on the other hand…
Bro even with wind tamer i still struggled
And I haven’t completed the game completely taking my time but so far the Yin tiger was insane haha
I would say he is one of the strongest in the game. He is slow but hits like two trucks glued together. He has the biggest grab hitbox known to men and He completely nullifies your immobilize
Yin tiger gave me stomach cramps 2 times due to stress. Oh man the relief after beating him, never felt better since winning against ng+ gmgow sigrun until the erlan shang fight happened. Winning against that guy is the best feeling i have playing a game.
The worst part is that he can move out of bounds
Wind tamer vessel will stop the sand storm and tornado.
i think one of your main problem, atleast judging by these clips... Is that you never used your 4 focus point heavy attacks... you couldve had free hits from the 4 focus heavy attack stagger... You probably could've had a different experience.
First clear’d😁
I'm not good at games like this and I beat him on my second try. I was confused when I saw ppl raging about him.
Me too
This boss was ass. Luckily I had the vessel. But it took me 8x before I decided to search my items and found it. Then it took only one.
I would just use rock solid on the kick 100% success rate and got a free light attack combo, and don't get me started on that tornad!!! I came so close like4 time and the tornado ruin my run or his other grab attack he dose after the tornado
Hiding in the sandstorm is very shitty too
If yall think these bosses are hard. Ya'll are not ready for Yin Tiger if you know. you know
Is this the dude who narrated Ze end of ze world?
Idk I remember people hyping him up I was worried then I found out he was pretty easy to stagger compared to the vanguard tiger, not a insane amount of help compared to the dragons or even the secret boss. Most the time his combos completely missed me and I didn’t even have to dodge, to address on of your video points imo his command grab is a joke compared to the yin tiger and others it’s pretty telegraphed smell that shit from a mile away. His cloud step is a joke as well compared to the yin tiger or even the void one. The most annoying part of this fight is him going into the storm and his little tornado for sure I agree but his attack are so telegraphed in my opinion once you fight him for a while they are still avoidable. Maybe I just got lucky in my fights with him it did still take me a good amount of tries because I’m ass lol I think I understood what they were going for with his fight because he himself is a joke without it(also I didn’t know of the bell also before he fight didn’t even realize he was the stage boss)
I was casually exploring Chapter 2 when I stumbled upon this Guy. I was unprepared and thought okay, maybe this is just another boss and not THE main boss
And yeah, The Yin Tiger grab is actually Horseshit
I’m done I’m out this game is insanely hard yellow loong is driving me crazy this I don’t understand why people like to torture themselves with a game like this it makes no sense where is the escapism real life is already hard enough why would i want that type of difficulty in my games I’ve already broken to controller charger cords because of these infuriating bosses
It’s baffling to me that everyone is talking about this dude n not the chapter 4 final boss cuz besides erlang n wukong that dude is for sure the hardest boss idgaf what nobody says. I beat this dude in less than 10 tries 😂
Oh this guy is nothing compared to the Yasha King.
Yellowbrow with his bullshit cutscene health mechanic was the worst for me. Why they would design any boss that deals damage during an almost unvoidable attack is beyong me. I beat this wind guy in about 10 tries without the bell.
Is he really that hard? I beated this guy in two tries and he wasn't that hard.
Idk I beat tiger vanguard who is supposed to be hard first try but it took me around 15 tries to beat yellow wind sage
This is the fight that made me hone my parrying, but he wasn't like insane..
Same
That’s the thing though, he isn’t hard.
But the more he kicks you the more agitated you become and the more mistakes you make 🥲
@@Djisso True that kick looked annoying
I've had harder time against buff garfield than this boss. Garfield took me 2 nights the same with yin tiger and yellow loong. yellow sage 5 tries. Did not even sweat.
Lol Buffed Garfield
rock solid is MUCH better than cloud step in wind sage fight. especially against his kick (grab).
The little amount of damage you do in general is disheartening at times the Wind Sage fight felt dragged out compared to other fights except for YellowBrow homie gold mode is annoying. Plus unless you cover every inch of the map you'll miss a Quest to make WS easier, 3 bosses and a transformation that makes the fight way easier.
The stone monkey is so much worse than this guy it isn't even close
But I killed the sage in 3rd try. I don’t know how, but I am sure it was pure luck😅
Yellow wind sage took me about 15 tries while erlang took me 15 days
Fighting erlan shang is the only one made me felt that a boss was unbeatable. I thought it will took me atleast a week just from the first try. Luckily,only took 6hrs. Beat wukong the same night. Did not even felt hard
