First Boss

[Giacomo Volpe]

How the heck you beat it. I mean I'm a veteran of all DS, BB and Elden. Regular enemy, a breeze, the first demon cat, easy. The general, too easy. The boss? What the hell?

haha deflect

[DaStank]

every attack can be deflected just time it right

It's basically designed to teach you both of the extreme ends of gameplay in Wo Long - being super aggressive (phase 1) and then playing more defensively (phase 2).

In the first phase he staggers to anything you do. You can pretty much spam your normal attack chain and use your spirit attack after each chain and you'll be fine. The only thing you need to be wary of are his red attacks, which you'll want to deflect.

In the second phase you're not supposed to actually "beat" the boss. You just want to survive until your divine beast gauge is filled up and then activate it, which will end the encounter.

The easiest way to do this is to simply play passively. You can block (LB/L1) his regular attacks if you're not comfortable deflecting them and then deflect his red moves until he is stunned, at which point you can do a special attack. Rinse and repeat 3-4 times and your divine beast gauge should be full and ready to use, which will end the fight!

Grind your morale to 25. After that you will kill his first form after a couple of parry's. You shouldn't even need to heal on his first form. Then you have to focus on parrying his heavy strikes (Red Attacks) in 2nd form with a morale of 25 it only takes 3 parry's or so to beat him.

Too bad you're not a Nioh Veteran

The moment i saw this message, I beated the bosse like you said.

[Giacomo Volpe]

By the way can I beat the boss again to get the rest of his set?

First phase you can go full attack on him, just deflect the few attacks he does. Second phase, you can see the attack you need to deflect from a mile away, stand back. You will not need to take full HP bar off him on 2nd phase. Timestamps if you need them: https://youtu.be/lnCAMlOxfZs

You can revisit the first level by selecting the 'Travel' option at any Battle Flag. Just be aware that you won't have the NPC for any revisits and will have to full deplete Zhang Liang's health to defeat him on revisits.

You can, but you'd need to redo the level

Also depending on how heavy you are, the timing for deflecting will be affected

[bob]

you parry whenever you see a big ass red symbol.

Sum Quantum big brain knowledge....I know.
