Because it's B team and they cannot create any challenge bosses that not fly without using cheap approaches.

The cave people from the past, which didn't even hear about Nioh1 QoL things like online without settings numbers, side-by-side compare and other things that were developed by last few decades.

Not sure if I got you right, but you could do DLC1 and DLC2 on any difficulty. If you mean that you just can't beat them, then I understand you. I've dropped the NG++ in the middle because I didn't like how difficulty worked with my magic build and bosses became sponge chores.

I'm level 300 and the bosses are insanely difficult even on NG difficulty. Idk what they were thinking but this dlc is a massive leap. I guess they expect us to grind out the abyss to level up our martial arts some more but it shouldn't be this bad on NG.

First DLC "Bosses are too easy!" Second DLC "BOSSES ARE BS!" Third DLC "Juuuuust right."

getting oneshot by red attacks? the insane health and spirit values? for a human boss that can move this fast he attacks WAY too hard

Yeah he would one shot me with the fly kick reds, but they were not too hard to deflect. It took me some attempts... not sure how many. Maybe 10-15? I realised he has some crazy super armor in 2nd half when he buffs up. So it's hard to go aggressive during that part, instead you bait out the reds and focus on parrying. I think some weapons deflect easier than others so maybe your weapon is a problem if the deflection is difficult?

I don't know if there is another version of him, since I only just started the DLC. I'm talking about the first fight with him on a boat.

If it helps, here is my run of him on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1936988594

I was level 150 from the base game (only did the first DLC on NG today), but 4* Gear and +7 Weapon. Doing the light armor scaling dual swords build. Fighting him on NG, not NG+/++. Still a tough fight. Usually I'm chatting on stream a lot but this guy took my full focus.

Well I'm not sure what going to change with more difficulty in terms of damage because GN 1-2 shots me on NG+ anyway. And take in account amount of delayed attack and some of them in the air.. He also managed to jump in the air and hit me with red attack while I've tried to pull up Zhou Yu lol.

Anyone who beat him in Soaring Dragon can help?

Come, let's give it a go at least ;P

[Deathstroke]

Few tips. Fight is based around parry, parry all the time even when its not glowing red and circle around him. When he starts attack with glowing red parry, hit him once and go back. Hardest parry is when he jumps, you can try to dodge but its better to parry just before he hits you from above... Timing. Like Sekiro pretty much just be constant and do not hurry. Salute.

We need more human bosses. Top 5. best fights in Wo Long.

How did you even get to 300?! I'm level 203 and I completed every mission on every difficulty so far only missing the first DLC on NG+.

It's been really confusing to me to how the recommended level for each mission just kept getting higher and higher throughout the difficulties while I wasn't getting the experience to keep up even a little.. now lagging roughly 100 levels behind what is supposedly recommended.
And I maintained about 50% extra genuine qi gain on my gear for ages.

In any case yeah on soaring dragon Gan Ning is one shotting me even with a couple regular attacks let alone reds, and the amount of HP he has is bonkers. What an odd design choice.. I guess They have been playtesting this fight with a much higher level and / or perfectly geared character? or else I really don't get it. Tho I wouldn't say my gear is bad either.
