![]() After you use a heavy attack, go back to using light attacks. In short, rush in, do not stop using light attacks, and then when your Spirit Meter fills up to the right (turning blue), use a heavy attack. This is key to dealing heavy amounts of damage, as your weapons at this stage won’t hurt the boss much when using light or heavy attacks. Rush in, and use a heavy attack to deal critical damage, which will take off a significant amount of his health. Once Zhang’s Spirit Meter fills up completely, he will temporarily be stunned, allowing you to deal a critical blow of your own. Deal damage and the orange part of the enemy’s Spirit Meter will fill up. You can actually deflect normal attacks to do this, as well, but they don’t impact the enemy’s Spirit meter as much as deflecting a critical blow does. If done correctly, you’ll counter the attack, causing the enemy’s Spirit gauge to turn grey, reducing his overall total Spirit meter. Look out for the red glow, indicating a critical blow is incoming. The key is to deflect right before his critical attack touches you - as opposed to shortly after the animation begins. The timing is absolutely awful, but if you practice on enemies before the boss fight, you’ll eventually get it down. When he rushes at you with a critical attack, press the dodge button while moving the analog stick in any direction to deflect it. The main thing you want to look out for is the critical deflect, indicated by a red glow. 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. Zhang Liang has two devastating phases that might cause frustration.
