you don't need to finish the game to fight erlang

[nicolò]

i red on the internet about this secret ending where after you fought the final boss wukong you can unlock this secret ending where you fight erlang.

but i just tried to go to the great pagoda without still fight the final boss wukong and i just got to fight erlang.

so i assume this is not an "ending" but just an addition to the story. the ending is when you fight the final boss wukong.

you can fight erlang before fight wukong.

A lot of info about the game is wrong since guide writers often just copy wrong info from some other guy for their site.

Erlang ofc is not the final boss. Like you said.. beating him just makes sure that you get the true ending of the game after beating the really good broken shell endboss fight.

Erlang still is the hardest boss in the game tho. Absolutely nuts and what they did right after "his" fight was so unexpected and awesome .. that instantly put this game on top of my favourite games of all time.

Fighting Erlang is not an ending, but it does unlock a different ending.

If you beat erlang first and then go to fight the final boss the ending is different.

ooooh nice i didnt know that, i still didnt fight wukong. i still didnt even beat erlang but now that i know this im gonna beat erlang before wukong then.

If you want to see both endings.. first defeat endboss for the normal ending.. then once you are at the title screen again instead of going into new game + just reload your save and you start at the shrine before the endboss again.

Go defeat Erlang then go and fight endboss again. Done... both endings... one journey.

Either just before the last boss or after, anyway you have to be ready as much as you can

There's nothing "really good" about making you fight the same exact fight twice just to see the true ending.

It's tedium.
