How to beat Aoye, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s even more infuriating bull-headed boss

polygon.com:

At the end of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s Part 3 main quest, In Search of the Immortal Wizard, you’ll face off against a giant bull-like demon called Aoye. It is one of the hardest boss fights in the game.

Our Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Aoye boss fight guide will help you prepare for the fight, and then walk you through this punishing battle.

To get to this point, you’ve already put some time into Wo Long, so you’re going to have options for — and opinions about — your gear. We’ll give you some advice on your armor, but the best weapon in this fight is the one you’re best at using. And you’ve probably used it to kill a lot of bosses already.

You might even be a little cocky about your demon-slaying abilities. Aoye will dissuade you of that immediately.

Look. It’s going to happen. Aoye is an infuriating boss fight. It has several attacks that will one-shot you — and it loves to open with them.

The GIF above was our literal first experience with Aoye.

Lean into this. Yes, it’s frustrating — infuriating, even — but let it happen. Just practicing your deflection of that first opening attack is going to take time. But you’ll get good at it eventually (and then Aoye will kill you in new and even more infuriating ways).

Learn what you can from each death. Pay attention to the timing of the attacks Aoye uses to kill you. And then come back a little better prepared for the next time.

We mentioned in our beginner’s guide that there’s not a lot of grinding for levels in Wo Long. And that’s mostly true. But getting some extra Five Phases Virtue Points into your character can only help you in this fight.

The main Battlefield has a recommended level of 25. We were level 35 when we (finally) beat Aoye. It’s perfectly fine to overpower
