erlang's actually easy.. it looks like most of the dev's are good video gamers so they thought it was easy like sum of us. He does have some tricks. but dodging and attacking when he's open is the key to wining. the 4 heavenly god fight is worse.. its an annoying half cinematic fight.. just leave that a full fight or a cinematic.

So many people out there defeated this boss. If you couldn't, its skill issue.

Finally beat him after far too many attempts, well worth it by the way. I can finally start God of war.

he is an optional boss, and he is supposed to be difficult, however, he is far easier than when you play FF end game content :)

He was tough but there are tricks to get through the phases / shield bars.

First shield you can burn through immediately at the start of the fight with tornado trinket item before he even gets his first attack off. Immobilise once tornado ends and go to town on his HP before he can recover.

After he gets his 2nd shield up, beat it down manually, no spells or abilities other than cloud step to dodge his instant kill attack. During his big attack, wait for the blades to use cloud step, not during the laser beams. Go to town again when its gone.

3rd Shield you do another tornado trinket, followed by strands and go to town again.

4th shield I never got down, his HP was low enough to defeat him with some minor pummelling.

But did you get the secret / true ending? Gotta go defeat Wukongs shell again.

just use azure dust transformation with light attack to get rid of 4/5 super armor each time
Skyler Sep 21, 2024 @ 5:14am 
But he's the alternative ending final boss... should be somewhat difficult..

User azur transformation with charge attack 2nd and 4th shield, fan on 1st and 3rd. In azur form in those phases he wont attack. Take drink that restores QI. Took me 2 tries only because i had wrong vessel the 1st time, its not a brag , its just to say with these tricks you can kill him easy. The shield is the only issue.

You have infinite spec resets in this game...

Just use the fan relic and it instantly removes his armor... make a qi build to get it up fast and then spam the fan 3 time each time he brings up he armor

Some Tips:

Right at the beginning of the fight use Plantain Fan Vessel with your clones as well, it will clean the first part of his life quickly

Use the Ring of Fire Spell with all improvements, it will heal you and can avoid you of using your gourd. Immobilize isn't useful at the second half of his life.

Use Thrust Stance and All Improvements that it has, so this way you can Retreat and Attack pretty fast, most of the time he won't hit you and you'll be able to rip of his shield more constantly. It's useless to use full heavy attacks on him, as he dodges them all, so use the combo with heavy and light attacks from the stance.

I like using Tiger's Acolyte Spirit, it's fast and does a good amount of damage and you can combine with your combos

For transformations I used Golden Lining, he's fast and when you use with combos he take off a good amount of his shield.

Guys, I made through Dark souls 1-3, and i do not remember that I ever would be even close to be so angry, as this boss made me (similar was with the last boss).

And I thinked about why it is so.
And it not because boss has so many HP, or many movesets and not even because of shield.

It is because
- 3 point attacks too often do not reach the boss even if i am close to him and he remain in place. Hit goes near the boss or even I have cases when direct hit did nothing (after his poerfull attack he stay on the ground for some time, looked like perfect time for attack, but it was wasted for nothing, not just once)

- I was using Bat or immobolize to "freeze" him, but it just randomly do not work (ok, it does not work when he has a shield or when he dodges) - but ♥♥♥♥! It tried to use it when he is wihout a shield and do attack. I supposed to stop him. But VERY often my character just do NOTHING even when I have enough chi and stuff.

- When I use cloud step, charge 3 points attack (in clould step mother ♥♥♥♥♥♥!) I do this attack and miss! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ miss! Even my shadow still alive, boss in front of it and I am CLOSE to him. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ miss!!!!

- When I want to make a sip from a bottle. I press LB, it did not work without a rason. i do it again! And agan. ♥♥♥♥! I have small HP, boss is attacking. I need a sip now. What a ♥♥♥♥ with a button??!!!! I died like this at 5 times on this boss.

- Mini-cinematic during boss fight, when you see "how beautifuly he hit you"? Very interesting to see it over and over again. You could have here less Epic and do it more quick.

Probably I forgot to mention other annoying things.
But general idea, that I often
- miss 3 point hit even from cloud step even when boss in front of me
- randomly cannot heal when it is needed
And it is often hapenning not because I did something wrong (I pressed button; I was close to the boss, etc)

Exactly these things makes me angry.
On other bosses all these roubles also exists, but they were not so critical.
But, ♥♥♥♥, here is a big fight.
Each your move or mistake can cost you a lot.

And comparing to Dark Souls or Elden Ring.
There on strong bosses you better control your mistakes.
In Wukong - your character do mistakes randomly even when you did as good as possible.

So, what?
Erlang not strong enough?
Let make random problem with controls to give him more advantage?

I checked even manaul from Schrawgs on youtube.
Still even if I try this strategy, still boss not even close to be easy.

And for the guys who beated Erlang - my respects.
I hope to kill him, too.
I just hope I won't brake my controller sooner :-D
