The game's too hard for me, this is it.

[clope]

I know it is a skill issue.
Completed some hard games, DS3, Elden Ring arguably, without many issues, and this one at the Hundred-eyed Daoist I'm just completely stuck, same for the "secret boss" to unlock a cool weapon for him, I just can't.

It is probably one of the best games I ever played, and the anger I get from not being able to beat both of these since 3 days has taken its toll and I might have to end the gameplay on youtube sadly.

Game was sold as an action RPG, not a souls-like, an easy difficulty would've been appreciated.

[Fire Dragon]

I agree! I love this game. I not a really skilled gamer so this game is kicking me ass. Would have loved an easier difficulty just to enjoy the world and right story line.

I feel cheated too. First, by the dev of Elden ring, who claimed, ER will be not that hard as Dark Souls. It was. Now Game Science claimed that Wukong is not soulslike at all... it is, in 100%. Both ER and Wukong are great games, but I hate liar devs.

[The_Primary_Axiom]

Yes i know what you mean. I suck at this too. I don't play games like this to be skilled enough. But you can farm and farm and build your character right? Can you just travel backwards to the beginning and farm over and over until you max your skills?

well, about The Hundred-eyed Daoist, You can do the side task first and get the key props to restrain him.If you still can't, you can fight with other yaoguai to improve yourself advance, i believe you can make it. By the way, in China, the challenge of rapid passage is being held here, i watch some anchors play this game every day, it is so funny.

Although this game cannot adjust the difficulty level, you can improve your level or get key items by completing side quests. In this case, you can win the BOSS more easily.

You may want to try some trusted trainers for the game. I'm using WeMod [www.wemod.com], which is a safe and trusted app. I’m also not a combat and soul-like game-oriented gamer so the trainer let me focus on enjoying the journey, the beautifully crafted settings, the interesting plot, and the mythological lore game elements. The trainer will allow you to customize your gameplay experience making it more accessible and pleasant.

I don't recommend that you play it repeatedly until hitting a point of total frustration and/or surrender. Take a walk, grab a nice meal, and come back to it a day later with a fresh perspective.

Also, if one approach or method isn't working, don't just try the same thing over and over again. I had that same issue with some bosses and had to change things up. Spark respec is free for a very good reason.

Also, if you can specify what boss you are stuck on, that can help people give you advice.

Not really, good thing is you can respec anything anytime, but killing global world enemies and not bosses is just really not worth to me, unless you like farming 12 hours, I personnally don't, I don't mind farming a little but global enemies really give almost nothing

Prob being, while games like Dark Souls are harder, Wukong's more frustrating because the game design isn't quite as tight.

There's some weird choices in there.

Like I see no reason to even have a stamina bar in the first place, aside from wanting to be a Souls like. Which is weird, because they kept denying it would be a souls like.

I see also no reason to not be able to cancel any attack into dodge, nor not to have attacks do more damage or go straight into a critical or a free heavy hit after a perfect dodge.

A lot of the ways enemies can hit you also feel nonsensical, like that Wandering Wight and his weird free AoE damages.

Now I will however say that while I love Dark Souls 1-3 (not 2) and Sekiro, I never cared for any Souls-like not made by FromSoftware and not helmed by Miyazaki.

Wukong for all its gaping frustrating flaws is the only one I ever did like.

Sadly did this, every time I take long breaks, took the game slowly to have good energy every session, but here it's the 5th session I do without a single bit of progress, I could go through it by spamming 6 hours straight and have "that good run" but I'm really not into that rage lol

I have to admit I struggle a lot with dodging, I feel like I do it right most of the time yet some hits just magically hit, whereas on souls I almost never had this issue and knew exactly where I faulted/missed, here most of the times I get caught by surprise by a pattern, or have some I just genuinly can't dodge without spells, and I just don't deal enough damage despite maxing my character?

But yeah, I admit game design might be the only game's flaw there

The game is hard so don't feel bad, just mod it or use a cheat engine or something if you really have had enough. The game is an amazing adventure and it is a shame to quit and not experience it because of the difficulty

well, in China, some people choose to use the modifier because this game is too difficult,limited use reduces the difficulty of the game.
It will not reduce your sense of game experience. Fortunately, this is a stand-alone game that won't affect others.

[Kashra Fall]

You made it further than most would. If you don't have the vessel, the final phase of that fight is a nuisance.

[prusswan]

it's easier once you get enough stats/gear to cheese most fights
