![]() ![]() While you dish out light and heavy strikes Zhang will move around the arena and charge at you from afar. Using a heavy blow before the Spirit Meter turns blue will actually consume more Spirit energy (to the left and into the orange). ![]() So, you should only use light attacks until the meter turns blue, to maximize your damage output. After it turns blue, using a heavy attack will actually deal more damage (and is indicated by a yellowish glow). Doing so will not only keep Zhang stun-locked (most of the time), but it will also push your Spirit Meter to the right, turning it blue. The main goal of this phase is to rush in and utilize light attacks as much as possible. The first phase is technically easier than the second, but if you can master one, you can get through the other. To get through this phase, focus on quick attacks, and deflect Zhang’s critical blows to fill his Spirit Meter. Finally, don’t forget to utilize different Accessories such as the Hairpin to grant extra stat boosts. ![]() You can also use the Enhanced Defense Wizardry Spell that gives you a temporary defense boost. Likewise, we recommend wearing the best armor you can while keeping your equip load in the green. Instead, we advise utilizing a fast sword that has around 100 power (the higher, the better). While it’s tempting to wear the heaviest armor, and come equipped with the biggest, most powerful hammer available, we actually don’t recommend it. Either way, level up as much as you’re willing, to make the fight against Zhang go more smoothly. Just before that is a deadly tiger that’s worth 500 XP, which is decent at the start of the game. There’s one at the previous rest point close to a fiery area that allows you to stealthily take down four enemies in around 30 seconds. Just before the Zhang Liang battle are a couple of XP grinding points. Make sure this stat is green, indicating you’ll be able to move as quickly as possible without depleting your Spirit Meter as much. To check your equip load, open up the equipment menu and you’ll see how much weight you can carry in the bottom right. The strategy for this fight is reliant on your Spirit Meter, so you’ll want to come prepared with a low equip load, so as to not drain your Spirit gauge as much when using heavy attacks. We recommend coming to the fight against Zhang with 25 Morale to give you a large damage/defense boost. To increase your Morale, defeat enemies and claim Battle Flags within a stage. This works if your Morale is higher than the foe you’re fighting, and you can see their Morale level above their health bar. Wo Long’s Morale mechanic is a leveling system that can give you a damage and defense boost against enemies. Interestingly, though, TA player unlocks actually dip below the global Xbox level slightly in the mid-to-late-game, before evening out to the same 2% unlock rate as the wider Xbox pool on the last few achievements.Zhang Liang has two devastating phases that might cause frustration. ![]() As you might expect from a dedicated achievement-hunting community, tracked TrueAchievements players are off to a considerably better start, with roughly half of those with Wo Long on their tags now past the first hurdle. There then follows a pretty steep but steady drop-off in unlocks for the rest of the 17 story-based achievements, gradually falling to just 2% by the time we get to the final story pops - that lower tail end is to be expected when the game has barely been out a week and many will still be working their way through it. Compare the Xbox numbers to other platforms where the game isn't available as part of a subscription service and there's a huge disparity that backs up this notion - Journey's Beginning sits at a 33% unlock rate on Xbox, compared to a whopping 85% on both PlayStation and Steam, where players have had to buy the game and are therefore naturally more committed to getting through it. There's a good chance that many players will simply bounce off the game and never come back after being knocked around by the challenging first boss, and some may not even have made it that far before deciding the game wasn't for them and giving up. It's safe to say that a major factor here is Wo Long's availability in Xbox Game Pass, with any subscribers free to jump into Team Ninja's new adventure and try it out. ![]()
