Erlang vs Consort Radahn

[[Sane]]

Idk man. I struggled so much against DLC radahn but i defeated him in almost 6 hours without bs and summons, but Erlang is just straight up unfair and doesnt work with the gameplay design of wukong. Atleast 100 times worse than radahn.

How can it be that they "forgot" how their own game works when they developed the boss? Or even wanted to make it extra unfair.

How can it be that the game works so that you build up focus points to do heavy attacks but then Erlang has tons of shield + super armor and then when you want to knock away his billion shield with heavy attacks, he dodges?? That's pointless, isn't it? and then sometimes you don't get the chance to attack because his combos last for an eternity. He def needs a nerf.

Throughout the game I had almost no problems with bosses, maybe they thought so too and then made an absolutely stupid and pointless boss. I know it's optional but I've probably been sitting on it for 8 hours and just can't do it. The boss is no fun and because of that I don't feel like finishing the game anymore.

So you have no problem with any boss in the game but the ones you can't beat is suddenly stupid & pointless....I beat him on my 4th try & I don't even play Elden Ring or any soul-like games. I had much harder time with Yellow Loong & Scorpion Lord....

Like you said it's optional, you don't have to beat him if you can't. Just watch YT video for the good ending.

You do realize that you have more tool available than just your staff to attack? Your spirits, your transformations, your vessels, your spells.
If you only rely on your staff, of course he's hard.

After you break his defense you can begin to tap the light button attack every time he's about to hit you, then he stops and tries again right after that. It's so dumb but you deal good damage and it makes the combat less bs.

Im using everything and still cant beat him

Another Erlang vs Radahn post, why can't you guys understand that Elden Ring and Wukong is like Call of Duty and CS:GO ?

They are 2 totally different games, which you play in totally different ways and has nothing to do with each other.

I recently beat Erlang in NG+ using the crappy chapter 3 spear and that tactic definitely something I ended up abusing a bit.

This fights dumb for the same reason a lot of fights in this game are; most of the fight involves the boss running away and dancing for minutes on end, forcing you to be passive and mainly trying to bore you into making a mistake.

Just using the first attack in the light combo during the gaps in his combos is the only consistent thing you can do, because it's the only attack that's fast enough to react and actually gap closes. The hit boxes are horrible so its the only attack you can consistently land as well.

Beat Radan on 46 attempt
Beat Erlang on first attempt
So my view on those two bosses will be completely opposite

Are u serious? He's easy enough with a proper spellbinder setup. Only took me a few hrs. Also last boss was so easy and AI so ♥♥♥♥ I one tried him, even tho he has 4 phases.

You are underleveled and never explored enough, don't have the best gear, I saw people with twice my health bar and mana bar fighting Er Lang Great Sage Broken Shell. I was level 92 when I beat Er Lang (took me about 12 hours) while procing his thunder element instant-kill by accident because i was using a storm staff.

I replay it again after recovering my save and he's the best fight in the game, just right at that level of difficulty with my health bar and mana. Also spam resolute counterflow, it breaks his shield ez

My friend only beat Er Lang when he was level 120. Level and gear still matter in this game.

What I noticed in this game is there is a lot of arbitrary difficulty, for the sake of being difficult.. It is a fun game that has frustration added as an element...

When bosses can have plot armor that stops them from being staggered, or bosses can switch your focus from not lock on targeting them to lock on targeting something you are not trying to look at while you free attack the boss, the mechanics fail...

This is justifiable criticism..

black myth wukong is a 7/10.

it is not bad, but, it is not game of the year...

I’ve never played elden ring,and I never finished any of the dark souls. I got a platinum in base bloodborne game on ps4,and while there were some extremely difficult bosses(like electric and fire dogs from chalice dungeons),there’s not a single bossfight in bloodborne that is remotely close to erlang in terms of difficulty. Tbh,I don’t remember a bossfight in ANY videogame ever which has been THAT DIFFICULT. Those who say they beat him in “1 or 4 tries”, “under an hour” either cheesed him(with 30+% crit and staff spin before patch)or are just straight up cappin. Especially those who mention yellow loong and scorpionlord-which are difficult too of course-but easily beatable without using specific timings and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of spells…
P.S.Also I’m not talking about ng+ attempts,on ng+ with jingubang and wukong armor,and everything else-every boss drops with a minimal effort,I assume erlang too(haven’t gotten there yet on ng+).
