How To Beat Zhuyan In Wo Long

Learn how to beat Zhuyan in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Get tips on deflecting attacks, using allies, and choosing the right weapons to overcome this demon gorilla boss.

Alright, let's talk about Zhuyan in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. This big demon gorilla is all about its powerful arm and fist attacks, but don't let that scare you. It's got a few tricks up its sleeve, especially with its Fatal Blow, but we can totally handle it.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Zhuyan is a demon gorilla that primarily uses its arms and fists for attacks.
• Its main Fatal Blow attack uses its feet with a longer windup.
• Standard swiping fist attacks are easy to deflect.
• The Fatal Blow attack with its feet is also surprisingly easy to parry due to its telegraphing.

Phases:

1. There is no distinct second phase in this fight, so the boss's moveset remains consistent throughout.

Strategy:

• Deflect Fist Attacks: When Zhuyan swings its fists, aim to parry them. The timing is consistent, and a successful deflection will not only negate damage but also lower its Spirit Gauge, making it vulnerable to a stagger.
• Counter the Fatal Blow: Zhuyan's Fatal Blow, which uses its feet, is heavily telegraphed. Take advantage of this long windup to parry it. Successfully parrying this allows you to perform your own Fatal Blow when Zhuyan is fatigued and can also give you a window to heal.
• Utilize Your Ally: Don't be afraid to let your ally take the boss's attention. You can create distance by running and dodging, giving you a chance to breathe, heal, or cast spells like Lightning Wizardry while your ally draws aggro and deals damage.
• Leverage Burial Flags: Before engaging, make sure to activate the Burial Flags near the boss arena. These provide a temporary Morale Rank boost, which can be very helpful for dealing extra damage early in the fight.
• Weapon Choice: Opt for faster weapons like a Sword or Glaive. Avoid slower weapons like Hammers. Faster weapons allow for more consistent hits during the openings you create, which is key to whittling down Zhuyan's health.
