Black Myth: Wukong - Let's Play Part 2: Guangzhi

[@littleburps]

Thank you for buying and playing the game on KZbin. I’ve wanted to buy this game ever since it’s been announced, but I have been so burnt by early release buys. I’ve looked at it every day since it’s been released and today I am buying it!!! I really appreciate your channel.

This game is far harder than I was expecting, it starts very easy with the general enemies you run into but the bosses are actually pretty brutal

[@richardwhite3521]

Same. All yesterday I was seeing comments talking about how they’re stuck on boss X or boss Y and having platinumed most FromSoft games, was responding to them with the obligate souls vet response “git gud” and then when I get home last night the wandering wight and fire stick guy had me farming mobs for extra sparks to beat them lol. I’m pleasantly surprised.

[@ricardodarcangelo2437]

Eh, the optional bosses certainly get pretty tough, for sure. But nothing on the main path is any harder than any other challenging game. Hard enough to die a few times, and requires full concentration, but nothing too crazy. The "challenge" in BMW, is that the game expects you to really know the mechanics, and use ALL of them efficiently. You can't just learn just enough to go forward, and ignore half the mechanics to suit your preferred style. Liberally using charged attacks, perfectly time your spells to the enemy's attack, thorough exploration, etc; Definitely has way more depth than most Fromsoft games' combat, so it takes time and patience to really grasp. The optional bosses though: yeah, they get pretty F'ing crazy

[@amonacoamonaco]

For the big baby dude, if you kill him before you get the thing that lets you absorb those, it'll be at the shrine when you do get it.

Yeah, the mini bosses that you get souls from can be redeemed at a shrine if you somehow didn't absorb it. In the case of the Wight you can beat him before you get the Gourd upgrade. So just remember to reclaim it.

Tang, as a cicada, was one of the Buddha's earliest disciples and was supposed to sit next to him, the Buddha, and listen to his sermons.

[@OD91MJ]

I needed the fire wolf spear to beat that big headed guy. So far I am really liking the combat. It is unfair for people to compare it to Sekiro because it has zero on death mechanic or stealth. It is like a cinematic ARPG game and it is a nice mix up.

Not the sarcasm counter. That killed me. LOL

[@GamerWalls]

Think I got lucky and flew past the big Baldy to the next shrine and saved. Went back and he kicked my ass. I then attempted the Wolf in the Temple and nearly got it first time, but died. Now all three bosses in that area kick my ass, but I’ve figured out that although you can’t block or parry (at least early game you can’t), I can use the spinning staff move to block attacks (not just arrows), plus it does some minor damage. Jump and normal,attack is effective, followed up by a charged up heavy attack. Just gotta persevere. If I can beat Nameless Puppet in Lies of P, any boss is possible. 😂

[@LESmith41]

Did you use the Staff Spin in the Wandering Weight fight?

[@whit3fox]

**spoilerss*** the waterfall is where the hidden boss is for later chapter after you collect an item to unlock it......

[@Rookiebookem]

If you hit his big head, it staggers him. Cowboy has incredible dodge intuition from beating all the souls and soul like games many times

[@gagefarmer9800]

It seems like the focus points are only gained through basic attacks and actually gaining the point. Charging up to and using a heavy attack acts like as if there has been a point gained, but without actually getting one. So the heals will only happen while doing an instant heavy attack with a focus point already gained in order for the exhilaration ability to work

[@treasurewuji8740]

Yes and no. It’s just when you hold it to gain it, it is immediately released as a heavy attack when you let go, or disappear when you run out of stamina. Unless you get a new talent which means you automatically do a heavy attack. And all those words are just saying, it counts as focus point but you are also correct as only focus point gained through light attack can be stored as used in the light heavy switch deflect.

[@epicgamescene9273]

During boss battle, instead of dodging, try sprinting circling the enemy

[@Havok135]

Yeah, you never rested to reset your gourd Im thinking lol Edit: I saw the HP go up slightly when you used a focus point. Its hardly noticeable unless your looking right at it lol

[@xgrimmdisasterx3935]

I think health recovery means it would increase the amount of healing you received when using your gourd.

That kind of sucks that if you kill wandering wight before seeing the old man later you can't get his soul? I went back and fought him later and got him since he was clearly an optional boss that was tough for the area.
