Ok.. this is the last straw "The Great Sage's Broken Shell"

[Sky Striker Ace - Kagari]

Whoever made this retarded boss must have been living in a monkey phantasy.
one hundread billion combo monkey that steals your potion, perfect dodges and doing the exact same moves as you. It even steals your power and become his.
The only thing he cant do is pull rabbit out of his helmet. This boss is outrageously hard and toxic. i barely make him to first half hp. I cant do this anymore. My hands are in pain and i want to punch the screen <.< How more OP these bosses can become?? Fck this tarzan monkey.

Your mistake was fighting this boss first and not Erlang. Beating Erlang first makes this fight ridiculously easy...

don't really need to (and I'd argue you shouldn't)

Erlang> Broken Sage anyday. He is way harder because of the damn shield.

Stealing your potion is just the monkey king being himself. Condescending towards beings less skillful to himself is his nature.

Monkey king don't need to steal the potion of being less skillful, and wukong was a champion for the weak and a protector for those who couldnt protect themselves.
you know why? because a boss doesn't have resource management. the player does.
nice try though. boss doesnt have to gen focus like the player, doesnt have to use mana or worry about stamina.
yet the boss is more skillful? because when we both do a lvl 4 charge attack his manages to extend higher than mine and hits me because of height advantage?

all this teaches me is that you could never do better than me if you had the same abilities.
the boss has to cheat to win.
its a doppleganger fight and the excuse you have is "he can use these abilities because he had them first". naw. thats a "here fight a stronger version of you".

did you miss the whole point of the story? the whole idea is that you are the mind of the monke king reborn, he is a mindless dead husk. he should be pure instinct.
its an example of the cycle of life, passing your gifts onto your child by sending them on a journey where they encounter trials they overcome as you did before them.
it's about passing the torch.
If he cannot beat me without using abilities i cannot. then why would he ever be better than me?

Maybe switch up your gear and strategy. IMO the second phase of the stone monkey is the hardest one out of all four... So I think you should be fine.

I can confirm you most definitely can dodge the gourd steal. Use the gourd and right after spam a dodge and you can see his animation trying to steal the gourd while you dodge it.

Didn't you say that input queueing is lower skill in another thread? Here you are talking about spamming dodge button rofl. Masher talking about skill this is an iconic moment

Uh no.......wrong dude sorry.

Use cloud step before you heal to prevent gourd theft.

Yep that too. Was using rock solid for a long time but cloud step is just too good. So many things you can do with just that one spell. Charge up heavies for free, get a free stagger, heal, gap close etc.

The shield is weak against the fan vessel and staff spinning attack (the one that deflects range attack). I save the fan for his second phase. Later phase, he will redirect your immobilize back to you so becareful. He is also weak to elements once the shield is down. I used poison.

[redhongkong]

i know theres a 500+ def build with heal chest armor (from that chapter 1 snake boss)
this will help low skill player survive wukong broken shell fight. (armor give super heal in water)

Cool story, the thing that works on shell also works on erlang, who can be basically trivialized with a 60 point build.

Congrats on beating him but I will say I found it absolutely hilarious that he stole my gourd and used it, my first thought was as long as it doesn't heal him I am fine with it.

I hope you beat Erlang I found him frustrating at first.

In his second half of his fight before you get to fight him in the sky don't try and immobilize him he will usually turn it in on you and I found using the rock face transformation I think it is called Azure Dust (where you do head butts) he won't try and pull you out of the transformation like a lot of the others he just talks to you letting you get close and smack him with it

If you are also using A pluck of many combine it with the Cloud Step ability as he will go attack it letting you use A pluck of many without interruption

Anyway good luck
