Ori and the Will of the Wisps - All Bosses [Hard, No Damage]

I know some of these are not exactly "boss fights" and more of a "run away from the boss" parts, but I thought I should include it anyway.

[26:28] Ending
At the very first fight, it looks like I'm getting hit while running from the boss, but it's supposed to happen and you don't take any damage.
This game is not free of bugs. For example, when you escape from the final boss, you always take damage while digging through the sand. It's clearly not intended, but thankfully you can go around it and stay unharmed. There's also another part there which damages you for no reason, but that one rarely happens.

If you listen carefully, ori's theme appears in watermill escape, where you delivers it from corruption (foul presence), in the mora's fight when you dug up half of her HP (you are beating her, and delivering her from the corruption), kwolok's theme when you fight him after the escape sequence, bc you must free him from the foul presence, and shriek's theme when you also did a good portion of the fight, bc you must free shriek from its hate

We all need to appreciate what a beautiful game this is. The emotional backstories of every single character, the soundtracks on the scenes, I don't think we deserve something this great. This game deserves more attention, and even If there was a movie, a manga, and some game theorists video, we would never achieve what this game deserves.

[@gred1698]

[@sawdust8691]

Doesn't need any of that. It's a beautiful and extremely well crafted piece of media, limited to two fantastic video games. Who wants a manga, movie, or theorist videos? The story and world are so simple and beautifully told and experienced as is. Loading it down with extra unnecessary crap would worsen it in general in my opinion. But that aside this game deserves all its credit and more no matter how much it's gotten. Basically a flawless game.

[@Lumariiio]

[@zennvirus7980]

The fact that you have a no damage boss rush of this game within the first week of its release speaks volumes of the level of skill you have at the moment. This is how the battles against Ori's foes deserve to look. And incidentally, against the laser ball within the Willow's End, it is more effective to use the Light Burst, it literally eats several chunks of health from the boss in seconds. Mores so if you have the shard that makes it spawn 3 smaller versions upon exploding.

[@lockekappa500]

I actually had to go back and fight the boss again, because the light burst is just so broken on that fight, I felt like I missed out.

[@Cystlib]

I used light burst from the moment I obtained it till the end of the game. If you use the shard that upgrades it and use your other shards to boost your damage combat becomes a cakewalk. I defeated shriek within seconds

Hey guys, I got a question. Does the previous game, Ori and the Blind Forest, has any bosses? I started playing it before this game, and made some good progress, but I couldn't finish it in time. And now Nioh 2 is out, and I have to play it too, but I can do the Blind Forest video first.

[@bigpigeon2384]

Gellot I don’t think it has “bosses” in the traditional sense but at the end of each dungeon there’s a sequence where you have to run and parcour away from something so you could maybe do that hitless

[@Caski16]

It doesn't have actual bosses. There are escape sequences. The only "boss" i think would be the final sequence against the villain.

[@kiyozuki1283]

In the first game they're more of the platforming 'Run Away!' type bosses where it's Ori against the elements. No health bars on the bosses, so no taking damage. That's one of the main differences imo between The Blind Forest and Will of the Wisps. You could do those sections without taking damage, though if you wanted.

This is what happens when a team with a pure passion for gaming combines amazing visuals, great storytelling, excellent traversal, and fun combat. Looking forward to seeing the next in the series. Much respect!!

about the ending i would wish for Ori to see his family once before depart

[@freakymoejoe2]

he turns into the new tree of life, and since he's also revealed to be the narrator it's not like he's dead, merely transformed. The part where his leaves rustle and his family all laugh even implies he can still speak to them, like how the old tree of life spoke to Ori

[@Chestet]

@@freakymoejoe2 actually they cant hear him, cause they dont spirits like him Spirits Tree But not Naru, not Gumo, not even Ku is able to hear him. He can make his own light brighter, but thats all

I actually fought Kwolok before Mora. I was really confused when I found Mora was way easier

[@matthewweinberg633]

Same here. Kwolok was an entire agonizing hour of death after death for me, and then I went and beat Mora in just a few tries. That was when I realized I must have accidentally gone after the wisps in the wrong order.

[@Klynch111]

@@matthewweinberg633 I don't think there is any particular order you need to get them in? Obviously yesh you can only get to certain areas when you get new skills, but for me also, I fought mora pretty much near the end of my main playthrough also I think. As for escaping the sandworm, that took me 2 whole days, the burrow mechanic for me is horrible I could never really master the technic to drive myself up to the parts I needed to jump up to 😂

[@belalaloca]

@@Klynch111 wait that’s interesting! Mora and Kwollok were both really hard and took me a half hour each to beat, but I did the sandworm in 2 tries! I had around 25 hours at that time though so I was really good with the movement even when I struggled with the combat.

[@cantthinkofaname9736]

It's opposite to me , fought mora then kwolok , had hard time beating mora than kwolok Maybe it's because we got upgrades and more abilities before we fight the 2nd boss depending on which boss we started at

[@mikemackerel]

@@cantthinkofaname9736 yeah it's interesting with this style of game, there's so many different way to go about finishing the main story

[@Nova-_-]

this game's soundtrack can NOT be understated. There is so much detail in these songs that VERY few people will actually hear during gameplay unless they turn off sound effects (which are commonly used as a very helpful part of a boss' attack telegraphs), AND YET IT IS STILL THERE AND IT IS AMAZING

[@anthronox4992]

If you want a Metroidvania with an amazing story and equally amazing soundtracks, try Hollow Knight.

[@NeoBeelzemon]

Honestly, very enjoyable battle gameplay, I'd like to have boss rush or something like that.

[@SateLight]

There is a time attack boss run tho, but idk if boss rush will eventually come.

[@PanRokador]

This game makes me feel empathy for each boss and that's wonderful.

[@NASTAR01]

Mora is the latest boss I've fought, and she was probably the first real challenge I've had on Hard that actually felt like a boss encounter. A lot of trial and error, and mistakes, and she melts your health. I had the Shards which make myself and the enemy hit harder, and the one that buffs the opponent in return for greater reward, which obviously made the encounter even harder than it needed to be. Still, was intense, and exhilarating; and felt good to overcome.

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

I first tried her on normal, so I was surprised that in hard mode she's actually somewhat difficult; in fact, she took me more tries than Kwolok, who gave me real trouble back in normal. Now that I've played hard mode, I'a actually say her patterns are more difficult than Kwolok, but in normal she does so little damage that you can just spam your attacks and she'll die before you do. However, now that I actually got to experience it a little, I must say that I find the fight to not be well designed. It's kind of hard to tell what part of her body hurts you and what doesn't, the darkness kills you instantly instead of taking a few seconds to kill you like the whole damn level taught you, her spider babies can overlap with other attacks in ways that don't seem intended and finally she does identical starting animations for several of her attacks. Plus, the whole concept is just so uncreative. It's a big spider in a den filled of spiders. Oh joy.

[@nicolassurfay2585]

damn the art is so beautiful...

[@fancy3774]

When you realise in ORI world the spider is as big as a bear RIP arachnophobic people. And birds are dangerous and fearsome than all above

[@emeraldangel9912]

Not really. For starters, there's only one bear that I'm aware of, I'm only 14% through baur's reach so I could be wrong. But mora is the size of the big bear's head so unless mora is WAY below average for adult Niwen spiders, which I don't believe she is, then fully grown Niwen spiders should about the same. But the bosses are probably way above average size, which is why the decay possessed them to guard the wisps, probably, so spiders are probably nowhere near the size of the bear.

@@iagooubinadios5035 I think there are no level design changes for hard mode, you just take more damage (and possibly deal less damage?), like the first game

[@changewingkid3938]

It’s cool how you can tell Ori’s maturing. In the blind forest he had to rely on a wisp to attack, and he ran away from collapsing places instead of actual fighting. Now he can use his light to make weapons and I love it.

Well done! That last battle was so epic man, wish I could continue to play it over and over.
