Big bosses in massive giant-ass empty arenas where you spend 3/4 of the fight just chasing them around trying to get a hit in.
Currently fighting the final boss in Wuchang, who is one of those. He’s no fun. There was a dragon boss a bit earlier in the game who was similar - spawning and teleporting a mile away. And of course there’s the infamous Elden Beast.
They just aren’t fun fights.
Third colonoscopy and still despise this “pineapple” Colyte.
Would it be a problem to add a few drops of an orange Mio flavor or something to my tumbler? (No red or purple)? Anyone done this?
I had finished Khazan and people speak highly of Wuchang so I picked it up next. I’m arddicted to souls games and have finished the majority of them to date.
I love the setting of Wuchang, the level design, the combat (against non-bosses), the progression. Nice graphics (PS5). It’s a very good game…
But holy cow I hate the bosses starting with Honglan. Now I’m on Ming and that other big lightning bow general. They are so goddamn hard!
For me, something I’ve noticed is: Fromsoft bosses are hard but always feel fun to fight somehow. Like a puzzle to solve. A rhythm to find.
But a lot of other soulslike games seem to think “make every boss as hard as F’ing possible” is the formula. It needs to feel like there’s the right amount of balance there between the progression, what you’ve learned, stage of the game etc.
Lies of P is certainly pretty hard but I managed it. But these Wuchang bosses just feel like they have endless health and never. Stop. Attacking. I can’t find a rhythm because it’s just an onslaught. I’ve purchased as many of the endurance points as I can and I seem to be constantly out of stamina just from trying to keep up with all the dodging and maybe attacking every few mins if they let me. Oh and let’s throw in frostbite for kicks!
How did you guys find it?
Edit to add: I’m 53, maybe my reaction time is catching up to me 😅🤣
Edit 2: based on the advice in this thread, I switched from longsword to double blades with leech on Ming. Died once learning the move set, beat him on second try.
I also had to drastically respec to beat Honglan earlier. Ok - lesson learned is respeccing is very important in this game!
Edit 3: then I used the same build and beat the big lightning guy first time. What a massive difference.
Hi folks,
No MRI or anything yet as this has only been for about a week.
I’m finding I can sit or lay down with no pain, and when I stand or walk around there’s no pain after a minute or two.
But when I actually stand up from a seated position, my right buttock hurts a lot and it’s hard to straight out my leg or stand on it.
So the pain happens in that transition movement and lasts for a few seconds before receding.
I think one person said it could be SI joint but it feels more like a tendon or muscle is pulling. Thoughts? And how could I treat that (stretches?). Sitting on a heat pad this week hasn’t seemed to help much.
