How To Beat Xiahou Dun In Wo Long: To In Wo

Struggling with Xiahou Dun in Wo Long? Learn how to raise your Morale Rank, choose the right weapons, utilize allies, and master parries to defeat this fiery boss.

Alright, so you've run into Xiahou Dun and it's giving you a tough time, huh? Don't sweat it, this boss can be a real pain with all those fire attacks. But don't worry, I've got some solid tips to help you take him down.

First off, let's talk about your Morale Rank. Xiahou Dun is usually around Morale Rank 20. If you're finding yourself getting wiped out, I highly recommend spending some time exploring the mission area *before* you engage him. Plant as many Battle Flags and Marker Flags as you can. This boosts your Fortitude Rank, meaning you won't have to grind enemies as much to get a leg up. It really helps level the playing field, letting you take more hits and dish out more damage.

Now, for some more specific tactics. When it comes to weapons, I'd suggest going with a dual weapon, especially if you have a good dual sword option. The reason is simple: you only get brief windows to actually land hits on Xiahou Dun. A faster weapon that packs a decent punch is key to making those openings count.

Next up: allies. You can summon two of them for this fight, and I strongly suggest you do. They're not just there to look pretty; they can draw Xiahou Dun's aggro, giving you precious breathing room to heal up or even cast some Wizardry Spells from a distance. This is especially useful because Xiahou Dun tends to keep his distance and his attacks, while strong, are relatively slow compared to some other bosses.

Speaking of attacks, this is actually Xiahou Dun's biggest weakness. Instead of fearing his moves, you can actually use them to your advantage. He spends a lot of time in the air before striking down, and he telegraphs these moves pretty clearly. This means you can get the parry timing down pat. Nail a parry, and you'll negate all damage while also depleting his Spirit Gauge, opening him up for a devastating Fatal Strike. The hardest part here is patience; it's easy to get antsy and mess up the parry window.

So, to wrap it up: use your allies to soak up damage when you need to, be patient, wait for those aerial attacks, and nail those parries. Then, unleash your best combos with your dual weapons. Keep this up, and Xiahou Dun will be down before you know it.
