I’ve Platinumed all the Souls, Borne, Elden and Nioh games but I couldn’t beet the first Wo Long boss. Why? This game (from what the first level teaches us) is that you only do damage when you successfully parry a Red attack. This lets you follow up with a good damage counter. Nothing else does much damage. So all you do is run around waiting for Red attacks. But of course, with many games, if you don’t time the parry to the perfect second you get destroyed. I hate Parry games for this reason.
I’m sure there’s more battle styles once you progress, but this boss will never let that happen. Absolute garbage. Wish I could get my money back.
