Look like I finally got skill checked by the game..

Phase 2 of Broken Wukung is so hard.. i barely able to land a hit... worse of all, it feel like he is taunting me... particularly there is a grab move basically tell me to try harder.

I kinda both like and hate this fight at the same time...

You want to cheese it a bit, here is how:
Always keep max distance from him, use Smash stance and charge your heavy attack to 3 focus points. Once near or at 3 focus points, sprint at him and trade. If you properly build your character you will be able to get the heavy attack off even if you receive some minor damage. You should have decent amount of damage reduction when performing these charged heavy attacks so the trade should be in your favor. Immediately after landing the hit run away. He will likely try to engage you so just dodge away and get distance between you and him. This will trigger his walk behavior where he will just watch you and does not engage unless you try to heal or use medicines. He might occasionally throw his weapon but you either dodge it or just start charging again.

You do not want to say close to him unless you know when and how to dodge those long combos and especially those charged heavy attacks. If you get the timing right, which is rather hard, you can use light attacks in between dodges early on and Resolute Counterflow one of his charged attacks but the rest must be dodged.

Staying away from him as much as possible and using charged heavy attacks is best way to deal with him in his 2nd phase of the final form.

that might have been patched as during phase 2, when i'm away from him, the moment i charge up my heavy attack, he'll use the long range clone attack.

lmao have you ever had him use immobilize on you while you drinking your gourd in phase 2? He straight up steals it from you and takes a sip to full health

But yeah as far as getting better and taking your time to learn his moves in second phase, using the wind tamer vessel, pluck of many, and yellow loong transformation helps a lot

I havent faced him yet but wouldnt the black pellet in soaks stop the stealing of your gourd. Black pellet wont allow disruptions while drinking from gourd. It may not work but just an idea.

This guy is a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥...

He has the grab you are referring to that basically says, hey I kicked your ass, try again and do better.

He also can freeze you when you drink from your gourd. He then comes up to your immobilized self, steals your gourd, takes a swig from it (reducing gourd charges) and throws the gourd back in your hand.

If he pulls the gourd thief move on your, it doesn't heal him, it is just another way for him to taunt you...

Nope, he immobilizes you to do it, it's basically a cutscene attack that doesn't harm you and is just this dude taunting you...

He is actually a very memorable and well designed boss because of these things he does.

The one complaint I have about him is he has an insane amount of health to cut through...

It definitely still works, I beat him again for 2nd ending before going to NG+ and this is how I did most of last phase. He will occasionally use his ranged attack but I either perfect dodge it to keep my charged up focus points or start again.
However, every encounter can be different as there are rumours that the developer used some fancy AI/scripts to create different scenarios even in the same encounters.

i think theres like 3 cutscene , 1 is when u use charged pillar, one is when u drink wine, the otherone i forgot is it charged smash?

Well its good to know that it wont help when i get to him. Excited to meet him on the battlefield.

You CAN avoid the gourd thief move by keeping your distance when you drink, it's triggered by drinking your gourd when you are too close to him and he is not currently attacking.

You have to be at a certain range from him to immobilize you, and if you aren't you can drink the gourd without issue.

Thats great advice. I might also get skilled check here lol. Oh well will be fun.

[zero.calvin]

i finally manage to beat him... i pretty much force myself to use spellbinder to learn his moveset and manage to exploits his spinning staff move which have long recovery time.

this whole fight is like a training session =D
