Headless Ape and Son vs Mortal Draw in NG++ with no damage in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
updated 5 years ago
To get the alt reward (Nightweaver's Finger, used to craft Nightshade Melee Weapon) you must destroy her heart, easiest done in phase 1. However, you must not allow her to grab you and suck your health to restore her heart in phase 2. That's where the Invader's auto-evade perk comes handy. You'll probably need two charges to get through it though, but as you can see in this video, with this setup doing the alt kill is easy. On Survivor mode of course. I don't recommend doing it on Veteran or higher. Just roll an Adventure in Survivor mode and do it there
Enjoy!
You can find this boss and the gear through a hidden opening in the Gilded Chambers area of Losomn. In this video I walkthrough the whole path, though bear in mind Remnant 2 is procedural and your path to the room where the hidden hole in the wall is may be different.
1. At the final boss (Ravager) in Yaesha, kill the doe when he tells you to. This nets you the Ravager's Mark.
2. Go to the Forbidden Grove in Yaesha.
3. Equip the Ravager's Mark amulet.
4. Stand in front of the Wolf/Doe statue near the start of the area.
5. Enter the secret area that opens up, take the Fruit of Death.
6. Consume the Fruit of Death. You will die.
7. Consume the Fruit of Death a 2nd time. You will die.
8. Consume the Fruit of Death a 3rd time. Die again.
9. You now have the Lifeless Heart relic
To get to the Ravager final boss in Yaesha you have to solve the GREAT WATER HARP PUZZLE. I have a video for how to do that here: youtu.be/ZzCVVXj-eSE
NOTE: Don't speak to the NPC while wearing the Ravager's Mark as he won't sell you anything for the rest of your current playthrough if you do.
Solving this leads to the final boss of Yaesha. This is the puzzle near the Pan Flautist (flute playing NPC).
To solve it you will need to have fully explored Yaesha so that all doors are open. If any door is locked for you, just fully explore the whole area until you've completed everything and have nothing left to do except raise the bridge to the final boss encounter.
Solution #1 = Faith Seed
Solution #2 = Relic Fragments and materials
Solution #3 = Saggitarius Bow (main weapon)
Also, I'm fat rolling in Leto's armor because it's funny. :)
Be aware, before you do it you will need to get the Kolket's Razor item from a mini boss., For me it was the 'Wither' mini boss which was fought after completing the Plinth Puzzle. Plinth Puzzle solution is here: youtu.be/EYMlZkJLY6I
Once you get the Kolket's Razor, inspect it and you can turn it into a key, as shown at the start of this video. The key opens the door at the ending of the jumping puzzle.
EG. In my video the symbol in the book is black, so I input the symbols found above each sarcophagus with a black pattern color on its blanket. If your book had a red symbol in it, then you would use the symbols found above the red blankets, and so on.
Build wise, I was a Gunslinger power level 6 at this point, but the key to making this easy is to use the Nebula pistol, and that's it - otherwise this dungeon is a LOT harder. In this mine is upgraded to +2. I have some relics/rings perking status effect, but only minor. I also use the Toxi Release Valve amulet. This amulet has a 3 second cool down but is great. When you switch weapons it releases a toxic cloud that stuns enemies mometarily, allowing you to switch weapons and run right by.
The other trick I can offer is not to pull the lever at the start. Instead, run down passed where the first enemies spawn, look down, and shoot the glowy thingy down there, as it will trigger the event as if you'd pulled the lever, only now you're already some of the way down and can skip the first enemies.
Have fun, this is a tough dungeon without the Nebula!
Note this isn't a walkthrough of the Dormant N'Erudian Facility, just a quick run from start to end. Be sure to collect the items that are in it and be prepared to die multiple times as you do before you complete the direct path. Otherwise you'll miss out on some loot.
Also, once you finish it by beating the S.D. 0A7 boss, make sure you return to the start of the dungeon and open the door there using the BIOME-CONTROL GLYPH to get some loot and a quest item.
This dungeon boss also drops the SIPHONER TRAIT.
This was done on Jedi Grand Master difficulty on the PS5 in Quality mode. That's right, I'm playing for the visuals instead of the performance for the first time in my life. So yeah, 30fps lol.
Also using the crossguard lightsaber with only the first perk unlocked. I like the weapon, it feels heavy and because it's slow requires good timing.
I wasn't going to upload this fight (because tbh, it's not a difficult fight to no damage), but near the end of the fight the boss kind of skates to the right with a bit of what looks like a glitch, and I felt like it was a glitch that created a cool, tense stand-off moment with a 'who will go first' vibe. Maybe worth watching for that. I dunno. But here it is. Enjoy!
Also, not uploading much atm, just too busy with my workload, so sorry about that.
1. Do it in NG+.
2. Go to Part 4 Main Mission 'The Battle of Hulaoguan Pass'.
3. At the first Battle Flag, use a Memorial Tablet twice.
4. Rest at Flag.
5. Run to Crossbow and shoot the dude I shoot in the video.
6. Back to Battle Flag and rest.
7. Use a Memorial Tablet twice.
8. Rest at Flag again, and repeat from step 5.
With this Accolade Farm you can get about 40,000 per hour. That's a pretty good and easy/chill farm.
The farm is done on the Part 5 sub mission "The Uninhibited Heart". In this mission there are 3 possible routes for the farm that can spawn. They are all pretty simple though as they all start with the same route and only have slight deviations depending on which one spawns each run.
The Cup of Cordiality item spawns are the shiny gold fire looking pickups, like you see in the thumbnail of this video.
THE FIRST ROUTE CUP OF CORDIALITY SPAWN
At the first shiny pickup, look up and behind. If the first shiny is a Cup of Cordilaity, the NPC needed to finish the level should be there, just up on a ledge behind it. Just go to him and you're done if you can see him.
THE SECOND ROUTE CUP OF CORDIALITY SPAWN
If not, jump down on the left and pretty much follow where I go in the video, which is basically to run around to the left and jump up a ledge. If this next shiny is the Cup of Cordiality, the NPC will be straight down at the end of the next corridor.
THE THIRD ROUTE CUP OF CORDIALITY SPAWN
If the second shiny is another Genuine Qi crystal, you still have to run down the next corridor, but turn right just before the end. The next shiny after turning right will be the Cup of Cordiality, and the NPC will be close by on the right too.
So basically the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Cup of Cordialities all spawn along more or less the same path. You only need to get used to checking each of the three locations as you go. Only takes a few runs to do it and you'll be sweet.
But rather than read, just watch and it'll all fall into place. While I'm farming I captured all possible routes multiple times so it's all there.
Also, I got this farm from Speedway1000 on Reddit: reddit.com/r/wolongfallendynasty/comments/11jilao/cup_of_cordiality_farm_1_per_minute In that thread there's a post to a YT video here: youtu.be/4GlWO3WF68g I have no idea if the YouTuber and Redditor are the same, but those are the links to where I got this from. Enjoy!
I would consider this a lucky run because he chained red crit attacks almost back to back and fortunately I didn't mess up on any of them. He has a lot of different attacks, many of which can be spammy, so this worked out well.
A part of my strat was to hit him with Venom Snare after he was lower than half health. That's when he normally splits into 3. It was my hope Venom Snare would prevent that from happening by interrupting his split sequence, and it did, allowing the whole thing to go smooth as butter.
Once again, stacked on Damage Amplification, Fatal Strike Damage, and Man of Benevolence set for heaps of damage while at full health. Also using the Blacksmith's Hammer so my points are evenly split between Metal and Earth with just enough in Fire to use the fire Damage Amplification spell.
Honestly, I don't think this boss fight could go much better than this, unless I had always deflected his projectile attacks. But I just find blocking them is easier, so yeah, that's what I do.
There are two phases to this fight. Both are super easy, but both can be a bit of a pain if the boss goes full spam-mode and you're trying not to take any damage.
In phase 1, Yu Ji is in human form. He's EXTREMELY weak to Fatal Strike Damage. In this fight I have Fatal Strike Damage on all gear. I'm also perked for Damage Amplification, both on wizardry spell and with the Life Wither spell (metal phase spell). I'm also wearing the Man of Benevolence set, which gives high damage when you're at full health.
Yu Ji will either attack you directly, spam the playfield with a variety of spammy attacks, or do a combo of both. His red crit attacks are what you want as a successful deflect will end the fight fast thanks to his weak Fatal Strike Damage. Most of his spam attacks can be avoided simply by running in a clockwise motion around the room until he finishes casting them. This saves you taking damage by trying to deflect and also helps you avoid the worst of them, which is the poison pools he can drop everywhere. He can throw ice, spam rocks, and toss poison everywhere all in a row if you're unlucky. Best approach is to run until he stops spamming and is ready to come at you.
The metal phase spell 'Venom Snare' is good against him. He's weak to it, and it will shut him down any time you hit him with it.
He has a couple of different red crit attacks, all can be deflected at the last moment. One of them, where he rushes at you, is particularly fast, but most of his attacks can't kill you outright so if you get caught you should have plenty of time to heal up.
The goal in phase 1 is to run around until he's ready to red crit attack you or you can get close enough to hit him. Spirit attacks interrupt him and so do spells, so if you get close, bonk away to stop him doing anything in return. He'll try to run, but you can venom snare him if he does and then close the gap again.
In any case, he's very weak, and you'll ultimately take him down fast.
Phase 2 turns Yu Ji into dragon form. With this one just kick back and relax. You can try to hit it while its flying around, like I do a couple of times here, but mostly that's a waste of time. Ultimately this is a patience phase while you wait for its red crit attacks.
The first of its red crits is a tail swipe. It's a bit tricky to deflect, though it is slow and doesn't take much to get a handle on once he does it a couple of times. The one you really want to wait for is the giant flame ball, which is super easy to deflect at the last moment. As soon as you deflect it, run at him because he will fall down, allowing you to get in some spirit damaging attacks.
Get in some attacks and he'll go down fast, especially if you're using a hammer.
Once again, like in phase 1, Yu Ji's dragon form is weak to Fatal Strike Damage, so be sure to stack up on it. In fact, I would argue Fatal Strike Damage is the best stat to stack up on for all encounters in the game.
The only other attack that might mess you up a bit is when he flies low and over you. Spam the hell out of your deflect button when he does this. There are two guaranteed deflects and possibly a 3rd as his tail goes by. But if he's on you and you're spamming deflect, chances are the game will gift them to you, providing you're at A agility. Remember, always be at A agility in Wo Long, as being lighter widens your deflect window by a mile. If you're wearing heavy armor, pump points into Earth until you're at A agility. This is the number one rule!
In any case, that's how you beat the final boss fight of the 'Decisive Battle of Guandu' main mission. And yes, I do recommend a hammer. Hammer's allow you to pump out the most Fatal Strike Damage you can do in the game, so it's a no brainer!
Yuan Shao is probably one of the easiest bosses in Wo Long, so you probably don't need a guide. But if you're interested, here's the rub.
Yuan Shao is a slow, lumbering oaf. Most of his attacks are super easy to see coming, with the exception being his ice throw. He throws 3 lines of ice stalactites out, but they don't do too much damage so if you can't deflect them it doesn't really matter too much.
He has a couple of red critical attacks but they too are pretty easy to deflect since they are also easy to see coming. They are quite similar to red critical attacks that other enemies have shown you over and over prior to this point in the game, so I doubt you'll have a problem blocking them at the very least.
In this video I hit him with Venom Snare which builds up quickly on him as he's weak to poison. Also, I have Damage Amplification on Wizardry Spell as a gear perk, so Venom Snare immediately amplifies my damage on him.
I double up on Damage Amplification by hitting him with Life Wither, which is a Metal phase spell that also increases damage against him.
I try to stay close to him as most of his attacks can't hit you while you're close, and those that can are pretty easily blocked or deflected.
I have Damage Reduction on deflection, which reduces his damage output if he does get one through.
I then limit myself to mostly light attacks to preserve my spirit for blocking if need be, or to activate a martial art here and there at most if I feel like it.
When I see his spirit getting close to breaking, I make sure to put another Life Wither on him to guarantee it doesn't run out for the Fatal Strike that's coming.
Once his spirit breaks I immediately pop the Amplify Damage fire spell, which stacks with all the other damage amplifications.
And finally, I have Fatal Strike Damage on all my gear - on literally everything. That combined with all the damage amplifications, as well as using a high damage weapon like a hammer, as well as using the Man of Benevolence armor set to get the massive damage perk it offers when you're at full health, and well, that's all she wrote. The amount of Fatal Strike Damage that you put out is so high it milks.
Just in case you're wondering, this is a mid game build I'm using, but I am probably over leveled here too. I found the last boss fight against Zhang Liao was too much fun and so I kept doing it for a couple of hours, and that gave me a bit of qi. Still, if I wasn't over leveled it wouldn't matter. This boss is slow and shouldn't prove too much trouble for anyone who can get this far into the game.
Maintaining your spirit is key in this fight. You want to be able to block some hits while also getting in your deflects. To do this, prioritize light attacks instead of spirit or martial arts attacks.
In terms of equipment, I use the Blacksmith's Hammer in this video for the equipment drop perk it has, but if you want more damage, it's better to go with a different hammer. Hammer attacks are incredibly satisfying, and if you stack your gear with fatal strike damage, you can even end fights with a single red crit deflect.
At the start of the Zhang Liao fight, you can get a single hit in on him, but you must back off to avoid his lightning AOE attack. Occasionally he'll just straight up attack you and not do lightning at the start, so it can play out a little differently depending on your run. His lightning attacks cannot be interrupted with poison like other bosses, so wizardries that buff damage amplification over anything else are the preference here.
I wore the Man of Benevolence set for extra damage from being at full health. This won't be helpful if you take damage, but Dragon Cure Pots can get you back to full health. However, you have to time chugging them well, as Zhang Liao is pretty relentless with his attacks.
After a fatal strike, Zhang Liao will stand up with a lightning AOE, so avoid being near him. He'll usually follow up with a big leaping lightning attack which can be avoided by double deflecting. The best way, though, is to move behind him as the lightning AOE only spans the area ahead of him.
In phase 2, Zhang Liao will often follow a red fatal strike attack with another. Usually, he'll leap into the air, and if you deflect that, he'll jump back and do a leaping forward red crit. Deflect both, and you're halfway home to ending the fight.
My gear was stacked with fatal strike damage, but Zhang Liao seems to have resistance to fatal strike damage or is just tanky against it, so it's probably better to stack spirit damage if you're having a hard time with him.
If you just can't beat him, then I suggest going with a hammer that scales on Earth, stacking all your points into Earth to get to A agility for the widest deflect window, and then equipping the Earth shield spell (Illusionary Shell). With that, you'll be able to tank a lot of his damage and should be able to coast through. All you'll have to do is keep timing the activation of it.
Beating Zhang Liao in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a challenging task to be fair as he can destroy you quickly if you miss your deflects, but damn if this boss fight isn't fun as hell. Just remember, prioritize light attacks, maintain your spirit, and, well, stay on your toes as this fight will end fast regardless of who wins.
And if you're losing, just keep trying. It's a fun fight once you get a handle on it, and even after you win for the first time you might end up just wanting to go again, just for the fun of it. He drops a good amount of qi too, so you can also farm him.
Enjoy!
This awesome character wasn't created by me. I found the character code on Reddit, and then someone asked me to upload the sliders so that's what I'm doing here to be a nice Bearbarian.
I did find the original Reddit thread which also has the slider values summarized for PC users, so you can check that out and give some love to legatii, who I assume is the original creator and who did a phenomenal job:

The Venom Snare is a wizardry that can poison enemies, dealing additional damage over time. It also cancels out enemies from being able to do electricity attacks, like Leishi can do.
I also have Damage Amplification upon using Wizardry on an Enemy on one of my gear pieces. Leishi has a significant weakness to poison. Using the Venom Snare, we can poison Leishi, dealing additional damage over time and weakening his attacks, while also at the same time adding damage amplification to him to take even more damage from weapon attacks.
The weapon of choice is a hammer. The hammer is a slow but powerful weapon that deals massive damage with each hit. In my case, I'm using the Blacksmith's Hammer as it has a unique perk for getting extra gear drops. It also scales primarily on Metal, which is what you need to be able to use Venom Snare, as that is a Metal spell.
Finally, before engaging, I use the fire spell Amplify Damage. This stacks with the Damage Amplification on Wizardry perk. Since hammers do huge damage, you can double stack damage amplifications for even HUGER damage. This truly is the big bonking approach!
It's important to note that Leishi has a powerful ranged attack that can deal massive damage and he has lots of quick attacks despite being a huge lumbering oath of a creature. I deflect his attacks in this video, but even if he hit you it wouldn't kill you unless you are a very low level, but by this time you should be reasonably high enough that your health bar should be able to tank a few shots. Just make sure you have decent armor on. I'm using the Man of Benevolance armor set, nearly fully upgraded.
I also have Fatal Strike Damage perks on all gear, so my normal attack and spirit attack damage here is lower than it might be for you - and by the time I get a fatal strike on him he's already so low in health that it barely matters. In other fights though, stacking Fatal Strike damage is imo unquestionably the way to beat bosses easily.
Basically defeating Leishi in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is pretty easy using Venom Snare and a hammer. Just make sure your points are all in your best scaling attribute, and all your gear is upgraded. Maybe then he becomes the easiest boss in the game since, well, you saw the video - and this is just a mid game build I'm using here.
In this fight, I have most points in metal, some in fire for amplify damage, and just enough in Earth to bring me into B agility. All my gear - every single piece- has Fatal Strike Damage on it. Since I'm using the Blacksmith's Hammer for big damage, this means I only need to get one Fatal Strike on him to end the whole fight.
The resulting fight makes it look like the fight is really easy, when it's arguably one of the toughest fights in the game. But with Venom Snare, oh so much easier.
This is a mid to late game fight, with a build made mid game. You can buy the Blacksmith's Hammer from the respec dude in the Village, and you can embed Fatal Strike damage on all your gear. Easy peasy.
Sorry it's not in 4K either. 4K recording turned itself off without me knowing, so had to use the PS5's 1080p-after-the-fact save system to grab the footage. Pretty good system that really, gotta be happy about it tbh.
What normally happens is you kill one boss, fight the other, and then the one you already killed gets resurrected. I prevented the resurrection by killing both so fast due to the huge fatal strike damage.
No damaging it this fast was mostly lucky though. I messed up two deflects which set me up perfectly to complete it this way, for some reason. Had I nailed those two deflects it would have almost certainly gone differently, but by messing them up the bosses did what I needed them to do to end it fast. Pure luck, but it was also a combo deal, because the luck was helped by having the right build.
Points are in Earth, Fire and Metal. Earth for the shield I never used (good for coasting through boss fights and later in levels when your Morale is high enough to use it), also Earth to reduce my agility to A, and Metal for the scaling on the Blacksmith's Hammer for damage. I use the Blacksmith's Hammer mostly for its item drop perk though, just so you know. If I wanted pure damage I'd use something else.
But a fatal strike build with a Hammer is definitely easy mode, especially if you use the stone shield to offset any damage you might take. I would recommend this to all players in a NG from mid game until the end.
Everyone says fast weapons are the only way to play, I even suggested use fast weapons in some of my guides, but I have found higher damage weapons with fatal strike damage stacked make levels and bosses super easy - especially levels since fatal strike damage applies to back stabs, so you pretty much run around one shotting everything you can sneak up on.
Points divided 70% Earth/30% Fire give or take. No points in anything else.
Everything else spec'd for Fatal Strike Damage.
Easiest build in the world with Man of Benevolance armor to give extra damage when at full health. With 40 points in Earth you can use the earth damage shield and 12 points in fire you can use Amplify Damage. Can easily beat any boss or any situation in the game with this build with barefly any effort.
Didn't use the shield in this though, just deflected and bonked for a no damage run.
But as a build you can just activate shield and bonk, shield and bonk, and if you ever die it'll be as much a surprise to you as it would be to me.
