I got no major games for the rest of the year so I decided to return and do a new playthrough. Rolling with an Axe this time around. *smash*

Saw this info on a Steam thread. Looks like they're still working on the game (even if slowly). Details on Wednesday. And yes, Bluesky was the only social media I could actually find the info.

I need easy mode patch…. Pah leasseeee.

As far as Soulslikes go, it's pretty forgiving.

Same info was on the reddit sub.

Hasn't seemed to have hit Steam yet, at least not for me.

Weird. Mine started downloading as soon as I turned my PC on. Might have to restart Steam if it doesn't pick it up automatically.

I got to Commander Honglan tonight.

I'm going to be here awhile.

So, wrapped up this playthrough last night. I dunno if they nerfed/buffed stuff or what but it was so much easier than my longsword playthrough. Between the axe's heavy staggering and Rampage's heal on damage effect everything just got chopped down. Was able to take down multiple bosses in a single attempt than took me multiple tries and ragequits on my first run.

...think I'll do a new run as magic!

I ended up beating her the next day, by just bashing her in the face with my axe and using leech/rampage.

It's kinda great how different this fight plays out with different builds. My longsword kill was this crazy dance of dodges and parries, axe was just a staggering leech fest and my current 1h sword/magic a hit-n-run tactics trying to get off a spell.

I can't get past the bride second form, no matter how many times I roll to the back…. I hate it.

 

[balls of snow]

Went back to Wuchang the past week or so after pausing it after Honglan. Damn I am impress with how good the bosses are. Once I switched out the boring old axe and went dual daggers with parry / longsword with parry, it feels damn good just noping some of these bosses long combos.

Oh and the patches the devs made are a godsent. No more runbacks thank fuck. No more getting hit while getting back up from being knock down.

Actually made it fun to want to finish it.

I'm at the tiger boss, and want to throw my controller again… I finished Lords of the Fallen before diving back into this again, and I prefer that game compared to this. It just seems like you have to have a specific build, which is long sword, and always rollback of bosses to do backstab. Magic builds are basically ineffective in this game.

Magic is more of a mid-late game/NG+ build when you have access to certain spells and enough skill points invested. It's rough to play as from the start.

Axe is easy mode. But also wearing armor with appropriate resistances helps a lot with boss fights. As does item buffs; which highlights how bad the decision to limit your item bar to 4 items is (plus you can't do menuing in combat like in other Souls-likes).

I personally thought this was the hardest boss in the game.

It's been a while, but:

I used an Axe, because, as others said, it's easy mode. I'm pretty sure I also used leech on the axe (because it's double easy mode), but I may have changed it to fire for this boss. If I remember correctly, this guy is really weak to fire.

You can summon up to two NPCs to help with the fight if you've done all the quests correctly. I had broken some of the quests in my game by this point, so I only had one companion - the woman.

Again, if I remember correctly, the fight was basically hit-and-run tactics while the NPC tanked the boss. Just get as many hits in as you possibly can, smacking him in the face with the axe.

This fight has two stages, and I found the second stage to be easier than the first.

Make sure whatever armor you're wearing is resistant to whatever the boss is throwing out, and also make sure you eat some stamina food.
