Challenges in Ultimate Warrior Difficulty. Let's not do that.

Can we start a petition or something to beg Koei-Tecmo to make these available for Hero mode? I can feel the aneurysm in my brain getting worse each time I try and attempt one of these. It's too much. I'd feel less stressed trying to climb the ranks in Tekken 8.

[awanderingswordsman]

Nah. Need something to work towards after beating hero mode.

agreed. Way too sharp of an increase from hero to ulitmate. Turns the game into Dark Soul lmao

[Daykeras]

The bosses have way too much hp, and the fact you can't drop the chevrons of certain bosses below 3 makes the fights take way too long.

Just do one of the first chapter missions to get a 600atk weapon. Equip both defense charms. Use the grind mission under the mission tab not the STORY tab to get to max lvl on all weapons in a couple of minutes.

You cant die anymore and kill everything fast. You have so much defense that even the ultimate difficulty becomes a joke and you cant die because of the perk in the tree which lets you heal up again after getting in the reds back to yellow.

That way you dont need to grind to get weapons to high atk because the sword is super easy to get with 600base atk at grade8.

The one who gave me the clown award. Try beating Guan Yu before he returns to Xiapi Castle in Cao Cao's route. I'll wait.

The ultimate challenges, like another person said, exist to give you something to do/work towards in NG+. And the rewards can be wildly powerful (overly so in a standard first playthrough). So I'd rather they didn't get moved to Hero and first playthrough.

That said, there probably should be rewards for meeting those challenges on earlier difficulties. I've seen a lot of people express disappointment at not getting anything significant from repelling Lu Bu at Hu Lao Gate and that's absolutely fair. That and other similar challenges could stand to give smaller rewards on a first playthrough or Hero mode. Like that one, in particular, could unlock the halberd class of weapon early with a standard baby halberd.. That kind of thing would be a strong and significant reward without being too strong, I'd think.

I've been knocking a lot of these out today and haven't run into any that are too bad. I think it's imperative to get a luan weapon (grade 8) ASAP. That makes all the other missions a lot easier since it's like 320 attack higher than grade 7 and has pretty solid skills. The spear luan is pretty easy (first liu mission in chapter 3, which is before the route split). Just go into the center of the enemy on the plains immediately to find the guy and then you have like 2:30 to beat him and thats it.

EDIT: I mixed up red hare and halberd luan. Getting red hare if you can early is good to do. Makes all the other challenges based on speed and time easier and it instakills peons when you charge into them even on ultimate even if they have tons of courage. Definitely a tough challenge to take him down without healing though.

Good luck getting the Red Hare early. That requires beating Lu Bu solo without using any healing items on the highest difficulty setting.

Son, for beating Lu Bu without using ANY healing items on Ultimate Warrior, I should get a sex scene with Diao Chan. Not a damned horse. Doing challenges on the highest difficulty shouldn't comprise THE ENTIRE POST-GAME's worth of content. The fact that I have to do them to even unlock the Halberd class and all of the unique horses alone is bad enough. I have tried beating some of these challenges 10 levels above the recommended, and they are still impossible. Some of them are doable yes, but many of them were just not playtested. Period.

I mean, I already did it with a grade 6 weapon no less. Was a fun challenge.

[RaTcHeT302]

yeh its pretty lame, i just use the one hit kill cheat because im not wasting hours of my life to replay the same maps over and over again for some "+2 guards", a random horse, or some weapon i could have just bought by giving myself infinite money its stupid xD

this isnt even a "get gud" type thing, this is more like "get stupid" xDD
THE REWARDS ARE TOO LAME FOR HOW HARD SOME OF THESE ARE

and im not wasting my time to grind for some stupid loadout either, nah this is just the game not respecting my time xDD

"AWW YEAH I GOT THE AMULET THAT GIVES ME +50 CACTUS POWER AND IT ONLY TOOK 52 ATTEMPTS AND 9 HOURS OF MY LIFE"
said nobody xDDD

video or it didn't happen

[awanderingswordsman]

I mean, I didn't record it but theres plenty of videos of people doing it. I don't feel like it's a difficult claim to believe.
