[Punishing Quest] How to Win Enlightment Tower? fighting Tong Daoufu twice is impossible

[wahyudil]

I go to Enlightenment Tower just to marry princess Funqi ... not to join anything or prove anything ...

I tried many times to win against Tong Dafou ... very super OP and I need to cheat with many medicine to win ... also using the master ....

but after I win ... I must fight him again???? and the cheat is, Tong Daofu suddenly have full HP/MP while I am left with only 10% HP ...

happened too many times in this game ... including against the bear in the forest ... or in the Relic House ... make me angry

is there a way to just winning the price? I don't even have options to join Duke Qi at all or retreat ... suddenly I've been attacked and died in one hit .... and you cannot continue the game after you win once, but you must repeat the battle again from beginning ...

I rage quit after being treated like this in three quest ... will play the game after cool down

.... really!!!!! ... so this is really impossible

the second and third battle should give us chance to fight in GROUP ... this can balanced the difficulty ... also less stressful

It can be done, (His stats increase after the 1st round, so it is impossible, especially the last round, he will exchange his def for attack if i remember correctly. Get stats first)

Grind lots of stats before doing it. (this game do not really have a guided pacing)

Increase base stat of 10 > luck is the easiest get it and casino money and buy food for endurance. Farm for herbs and mines to get STR.

follow by find the poison girl to do the daily toxicology test which can roll the random stats increase.
Do save before the roll and keep rolling for the desired stats, if you have your homestead upgraded for the gathering spot, use that to get legendary herbs to increase HP back. (mine is endurance build which boost def and hp to a very high level that it cannot kill the MC)

You can Save and Load all the gathering spots to change the result.

Once you gotten all the mandatory stats without level, it will become more balanced.

it's absolutely possible to do, you just need to be prepared for it. A lot of the harder fights can seem impossible at first but that's the way the game is set up, you replay with the new achievements and knowledge you've gained to try again. Having the Nine Province manual from the old man sect will give you a lot of hp/mp regen which can make it easier, investing in tankiness in general is good (there's lots of ways to do this), making sure not to get hit with his reflect helps a lot.

You are the MC, the rights to cheat is within your means! Use WeMod program to cheat like a pro. Show the Heaven why you are the MC and no law could stop you from massacring all the villagers in the game.

It really depends on your level and the # of playthrough you are at. The first game in nightmare will be a grind before you can challenge tough enemies. Try getting the 'Immovable Mountain' armor by winning the Daliang arena which reduces 45% dmg received. You need to be the disciple of the Old Man though. You could also get 20 free stats from Miao Caidie (if you save scum..you could get 20 STR = ~4K ATK)

What're your passives? I've had a bit of trouble against him as mainly wind + earth/fire starting perks. But after respec to wood (damage transfer) + yin (trained body) he went down pretty easy. Didn't have any legendaries, ~50 perk pts start on Hard. Char level was around 60-70 I think, all stats in 10-15 range. High (100 or 150) medicine might have helped, but it should be easy to substitute that with healing consumables.

[Nameless]

Its easy. Stack damage reduction passives and learn the skill that reduces 20% incoming damage. Just slowly whittle him down at that point, he will also kill himself if you have the 60/40 damage taken/reflect skill. Just sit there and heal.

Hardest fight is the 2nd fight. 1/3 fight is super easy.

[wahyudil]

I have tried many combinations to win the first battle ... I can still hold against his first 2 attack, after that I tried hit and run strategy and succeed multiple times ...

but the second round is the problem ... suddenly he 2-hit kill me in one attack ... and even I have luck to begin the round with full HP, I am still lost

and the story itself is not sensible ... there is no option for me to accept his offer ... or get the treasure and run away after the battle, not forced into hearing him and then get another battle .... I have master skill in persuasion, and no effect at all

the same with the bear .. three round battle with the bear just say rooaaarr ... I have master skill in Beast Taming, and there is no use ...

This is just one of those storyline that you have to follow. It's not an entirely choice based game. Try some of the recommendations in the thread, get stronger and fight again. GL

What are your stats like? I've seen some people on here saying they find it too hard then they show a screenshot and their max hp is lower than 1k with a team of people with 600-800hp and stats all below 10.

This is my current dude. He's end game, sure, but he isn't optimisd. He has meh gear and kinda went into all stats instead of, say, Con and Str. He even has Confuscius trait debuffing him since my personalities aren't all at 100, so I'm down 10% on evasion, parry and crit compared to what I'm used to. Even if you scaled me down to lvl 50 I'd only lose 5 "attribute points" and some martila passives, and let's say 40% of my hp. I even lost 15% of my max hp to recruit Ling Mengie down there.

This isn't to brag but to make it clear there's a world of difference between "i have a few stats" and "i have a build." I've just exterminated every sect master at this point. Fan is meh, though. I only have one legendary external and it's the brush one. Would be even easier if I went fist or sword.

Edit: Now I look at my stats I can't unsee the fact I could reset them to make Int 35 and Luck 15, so that every stat would be a neat 0 or a 5.
