He actually missed more than one move, the combo changes into a more devil may cry mode if you wish, If you are on playstation, you can do things like, square, triangle, triangle triangle or square, square, triangle, triangle and so on and they are entirely different from the other stances
@@AMonsterMango I was playing around in my 2nd play though and kinda figured out that when he immobilizes after an attack you can dodge at last moment, but when he’s just walking and you drink you can’t dodge that one
Tbh im actually glad that you kept using the clones and various spells despite what you/the comments wanting otherwise. A lot people say this is a soulslike or like elden. But from what ive seen aside from drinking to heal, this game has more in common with slashers like Devil may cry and god of war. The point is to combo all your arsenal in ways that not only take down your foe, but make you look like a total badass while doing so, and given Sun wukong its pretty much Dante as monkey i feel its the best way to play this game
I find it absolutely insane and stupid bringing that souls like mentality to this. We’re WufuckingKong. If people want the game to be that hard, don’t use ANY spell or upgrade. If that’s the experience you’re looking for🤦🏽♂️
Completely agree its more DMC than anything. The GoW comparisons seem more about the protags as characters than the games theyre from. Devs tried to warn folks its not a soulslike
Youre supposed to feel overpowered towards the end of the game. Wukong boss isnt supposed to be hard, its supposed to be him training you. Hes practically teaching/toying with you so its okay. Dont let these tryhard sweats sway you. Youre fine. Beat tf outta the bosses
Amen. People going "he missed getting disrespected" on the last vid. Like bruh, ya'll got disrespected, He on the other hand actually had a build that not only worked, but excelled. No one waking up like you thinking they "MISSED" being disrespected. 😂😂
@SumitShrivastava17 It's more about 1. Seeing all the boss can show (IT'S WUKONG FFS, HE'S AWESOME) 2. Wanting to see Afro's reaction It's not: fuck Afro, he did too good and I wanna see him lose
Something I've heard/read in other videos and comments, Erlang and Wukong fighting in the very beginning of the game wasn't just Wukong Vs. the Celestial court. It was an entire set up made by Wukong himself AND Erlang was in on the plan to purposely kill Wukong, just so he can escape from the Head Band. And it's all full proof too because: 1.) Erlang will still be accepted by the Court so he doesn't seem like a traitor by fighting Wukong by himself. Ever wondered why in his secret boss fight, the other 4 Dietys fought Wukong while Erlang ( In his Azure Lion form ) was sitting it out on purpose to see The Destined one fuck the others one up? While it can be said that he wanted to test the Destined One, it could also probably be unfair for him to jump him while the others were fighting him, so he didn't intervene. OR it could probably be that he doesn't like the Celestial Court either! ( That's just me tho ) 2.) Wukong is already a cocky guy, so him talking MAD TRASH to the other Dietys was completely in character, making the whole fake fight entirely believable. 3.) Further proof that Erlang was on Wukong's side is how much Erlang was talking about " Hm... I was wondering... is this fight also part of his plan? " during his confrontation. " I will train you in his behest " , " I thought of you every day " ( Mighty sus but yeah lmao ) 4.) A lot of the fight can be analyzed that can further provide evidence that the fight was fake just for the Celestials can buy it. - Erlang not going at full strength at the beginning of the fight could've just been the Developers nerfing Erlang for a tutorial boss for the player. But it could be a very smart story telling key point that Erlang wasn't fighting seriously at all compared to fighting The Destined one. 21:28 - Wukong stepping on Erlang's spear for a little too long for 2 people that are gonna kill each other no? And Erlang reposition his hand, kinda giving a que for Wukong to step off. 22:27 - There was absolutely no reason why Wukong and Erlang had to strike the greatest mixtape cover pose in 2024 by having the weapon like that. Wukong also put his weapon down, further strutting his cockiness, further selling it to piss off the Celestials. 5.) Erlang summoning that gigantic axe during the cutscene at the end of the Tutorial boss. Did he REALLY need to? Or did he swing it to get rid of the smaller soldiers that were in line below? ( Upon reviewing the intro cutscene, it was Erlang's Spear and Wukong's Pole clashing ( Ultra levels of Pause ) that caused the smaller soldiers to disperse all over the place. damnit. I really be spreading misinformation on broad daylight like this ) BRUH THIS GAME IS SO FIRE. I SWEAR IF IT DOESN'T WIN GAME OF THE YEAR, WE RIOT. Edit: Added a space between the _reasons_ so it can be easily readable. And also added reason 4 and 5
Also the fact that Er Lang Shen kept all of Wukong's memories. If you're enemies with him, if you hate him so much, if he is such an enemy of the celestial court, then why bother keeping his memories? I think during the secret boss fight at Mount Mei Er Lang Shen also mentions that it was hard for him to keep or bear all of Wukong's memories. So the real reason in the end, for keeping all his original memories, was to pass them all back to the Destined One, so that Wukong would not "really" die, or at least come back in some other form, with all previous memories intact. More importantly, with all these past memories, the Destined One now knows about the curse or problem with having that gold band crown thing on his head. The secret/good ending does not explicitly state or show this, but in my opinion, before that old monkey has a chance to put that gold band on the Destined one's head, I feel like the Destined One would just knock that shit away and not allow him to put that shit on his head.
While I think you’re right, reason 4 and 5 are a major stretch. It’s just fight choreography it’s not THAT deep, you’re like an English professor analyzing the colour of a door.
If you decide to play NG+ just for fun, incorporate some of the "seeing through" techniques of the stances. It really adds a deeper element to the combat when you can simultaneously parry and deal damage.
@@matthewchristopher1313 you unlock in the staff stances skill tree. Then when doing light combo, you press heavy attack and you'll do a move that will parry the incoming attack as well as hit the enemy. It does more damage and staggers them easier.
All these other youtubers putting self imposed restrictions, and fully respect how you said it. you are the reincarnated Wukong! you are powerful and it isn't your problem that these bosses can't handle you. I appreciate you going back and showing more of the fighting that others shy away from just because it is easy when it is just that the developers wanted you to feel powerful.
The game really kicks off in Ng+. You get new weapons, a new armor set, a new spell, and if you do enough play through you can unlock wukong stance outside of the final fight.
Just finished NG+, it is just too damn easy. Er Lang feels the same. Final Wukong is a little trickier and more active, but I don't know, maybe because I'm using spellbinder. I was level 198 or something. Someone said that it is the same for NG++ too. Apparently, it'll need to be NG++++ for it to be difficult. I don't know, I can't be bothered.
@@SilverDragonZZL The game gives you a chance to enjoy the power fantasy for a couple playthroughs then it gets crazy again apparently. Spell binder builds are broken af as well, I use them when I want to plough through everything You ain’t gotta replay it all now, just give it a reply every once in a while when you miss it. That’s what I do with from soft games so I don’t burn out
Damn Unc really had to RUN IT BACK after seeing all the disappointment. Now that's GOATED😭🙏💯 Literally just finished the other vid a couple mins ago too💀🍿
You were watching the video for understanding the whole story really great, you are the only one UA-camr not just enjoying the game but also the deep content!
fyi: you can unlock Wukong's stance outside of chapter 6 at NG+4 where you have all 6 relics maxed out. if you use wukong's stance The Destined One actually become Wukong and yell: "Watch me" or "Let me show you what the Great Sage can do". plus: you unlock new dialog with Baije if you use Wukong's stand in front of him xd.
Afro hands down the best content creator 💯 W playthrough Also you can throw the staff in wukong stance by holding left trigger move forward and once you let go press heavy attack
I'm surprised no one has said this yet (or maybe I just haven't found the comment yet) but you can respec your relic along with your sparks at the shrines.
11:24 you can throw it, during wukong stance (which you can get back btw if you manage to build up past the 4th focus point to a secret golden bar, cant be done by charging) you gain access to multiple different varied combos from every light attack, this includes a swipe into thrust and the giant staff sweep from the end of pillar stances varied combo. to throw your staff in wukong stance, you have to stand still and do your staff spin, then move forward to go into mobile spin, then press heavy attack
So from what I understand, after Wukong's death, the main thing bothering the Celestial Court were all the yaogoi kings making havoc after stealing Wukong's relics - which gave them power too great. Too much chaos. So the plan was to have the Destined One collect all of Wukong's relics in the false hope of resurrecting Wukong, then the plan was to put the crown on the Destined One to once again control Wukong. In that ending the Destined One remains in the stone egg for all eternity. Some believe the old monkey is actually the Celestial that put the crown on Wukong's head in the original Journey to the West novel but in disguise. But Wukong had a plan of his own. He intended to die a mortal death because that would free him of the crown - provided he could be reincarnated via someone like the Destined One. Whether he shares TDO's consciousness, takes it over, or becomes a whole different being is unknown, but with the "Mind" of Wukong (his memories) held by Erlang or whatever his name is, he was in on the plan. He gives Wukong's mind to TDO which allows him the wherewithal to not allow the crown to be placed on his head again in the good ending. Just like Wukong told Erlang in the final animation, he would tear the crown off and be free.
Damn. Afro i gotta be honest. I was content with the last episode being the last episode. The fact you ran it back for that interaction? Mad respect brother. I'll be here for your next adventure as well as for Sparking Zero, I hope to run into you there when everyone spams the hell out of ranked mode, me included Lmfao.
Afro if you want to dig further into the lore, you should watch Stories with Cookie, AvenueX, and EmpressXV (the last two are very detailed and also Chinese who live in Canada/the US). You would understand why Erlang helped Wukong, 5 of Erlang's friends who helped us reach him from each chapter (White Clad Noble, Yellow Robed Boar, Green Hat Martialist, 8 hand venom Daoist, and Ox that died by the fire cart, they all will mention "brother" and that brother is Erlang.)
I just started watching you recently and it's wild to me that you did the fight multiple times again because your comment section told you you missed stuff. Absolutely amazing stuff. Few would do this and it's awesome
Don't let em get to you Afro, I beat the boss my first try too, then ran the block for the secret ending and did it again. He's still fucking awesome, one of my favorite bosses... BUT I WAS THE ONE BEIN DISRESPECTFUL
That is really so cool of you to go back just for the gourd scene. Really awesome and lots of thanks for the great series, Afro. Can't wait to see you play through the DLC! 👊
Nah Afro you’re the goat I was happy af you beat it and was glad you got to experience it but I was a little upset when you didn’t get the secret animations. You didn’t have to ever touch this game again bc you beat it but bc of your love for your fans you got back on just to get the animations for them 🐐🐐🐐
Thanks to you that u returned but figuring it out in middle of the fight is so much better it feels so much better but u got the knowledge about the moves from comments its not the same but still thanks
I think some people mad about Afro beating wukong in 1 go because they struggled and couldn't accept that Afro did it with ease. I was also surprised when Afro beat wukong with only 1 try, because it took me like about 5 good attempts, but my ego was not as weak as some of the people😅
That’s why he’s the GOAT! THE GGOOAAATTT!!!! I’m referring to both Afro and Wukong here! I’m glad you listen to your viewers and actually went back to please us! You’re the best content creator out there!
I dont think the final boss of Black Myth Wukong is anywhere near a notably hard boss but holy fuck if it isnt one of the coolest and most fun boss to play against your first time. Seeing him do all your moves and all the disrespect in the spirit of Wukong is so fucking cool
Dear Afro, if you want the animation of wukong grabbing your staff attack like the drink one? You need to do it on his first phase. All you gonna do is...When you and wukong stare at eqch other and walking, you need to charge up the Staff slam (the one where you stand on the staff up to the max while wukong is either standing menacingly or walking while staring at you charging) and he will do that animation
Ngl we appreciate this cuz tbh I didn’t think you wouldn’t go back cuz I’m used to ppl not making a whole vid for too amazing work 🤝🏽🔥, there is a saucy way to finish the yakasha king 😈
I love that you went back for it im actually hyped but its not ORGANIC I fucking love this though going back to trigger it was something no other creator would do literally the best creator i found early 2024
you can still trigger the steal cutscene if you drink from an empty gourd, or if you put the soak that poisons yourself. Wukong will take the gourd but won't drink from it... the level of detail put in this game is insane
Loved the series! If you decide to play NG+ just know that you can respec relics as well, so you didn't fuck up by picking the top one, you can always pick the middle one at the shrine!
Glad to see you play this boss again cuz of the comments too. I definitely felt bothered that you beat the game without ever using Wukong Stance at first too. I do agree with what you said that in this game you need to embrace being overpowered instead of trying to be underpowered basically you need to enjoy it
Also a secret fact if anyone missed if you stand in the ring of fire he casts it charges your focus points as well , also keep doing what youre doing afro we love you ❤❤ much appreciated for this run back cant wait to see what's next and props to your dedication 😄
Always glad to see some more black myth and taking the drink is crazy also I think afro did a better job this time than he did with the spells lol and I love him using spells it makes the game fun
Afro you CAN throw the staff with wukong stance only. You have to start staff spin walking then stand still while spinning and press heavy, destined one will throw the staff but you need wukong stance
Btw the wukong stance has many different combos ... So do try them sometimes they are cool... you can throw your staff too by Holding R2 and moving forward then stop while holding R2 for a few seconds then press Sqaure
I did the same thing, I fought the secret boss before the final boss, the thing is is that you use cloud step where I switched to rock solid, so when you healed you mostly did it in cloud step for the final boss. I made myself lvl 110 just to beat Erlang lol. I am now on the start of chapter 4 in my NG+ and i think i am lvl 160 now? Its definitely fun to do a NG+ cause there is some weapons you can get in it compared to the original run
you can regnite sparks on relics too btw and after NG+2 you unlock wukong stance. Then after NG +3 you unlock speaking when doing the fully charged heavy stance
man i couldn't defeat the last boss untill i got the last spear from the secret boss which also took me days, i followed your road untill the end and i wanna say that i loved it!
First new game plus is easy as hell but the 2nd is like starting a new game scale wise. Thats when you unlock the wukong stance. Also the way afro beat the final fights is in any way can be considered cheese. He was just dodging and playing well. Some people just wants him to die a couple of time because they did and probably much worst at those fight.
This might be a bit late, but Afro the wukong stance does have move like “staff throw” and these moves are triggered by pressing different buttons in a combo, from what I’ve got, press heavy attack in between each light attack combo, they will give you either smash, pillar, or thrust, so for example 1 light then heavy, or 2 light then heavy, etc. the throw is triggered by using the deflect, then heavy attack (but it doesn’t work that consistently for me, so maybe there’s some other factors for it)
You probably know this by now, but you can respec your relic in the same rmenu you respec your other stats, just tab over to the right one time, then you can pick that middle relic option
S/o to Afro for being cool about the comments & being open to criticism. I get turned off by so many UA-camrs/streamers because they act like dicks to their community. He could’ve easily been negative about the elden ring comparisons or an asshole about it, but he simply just explained his stance in a cool friendly way✊🏾
I doubt he'll run through the game again, at least so soon or on camera; but I promise you he'd get all these animations if he played New game plus. The bosses are so much more overpowered and smarter, especially Erlang dude my god.
W vid afro! I’m actually surprised you went back and broke the typical trope that other youtubers are doing by putting self restrictions on themselves, you were just playing the game the way you wanted to and had fun. on that note, when your in Wukong stance or in any stance really.. Afro. Please. Press. Triangle. In. The. Middle. Of. Your. Combos. 😂 i’m over here yelling “PRESS TRIANGLE” at my monitor when you were fighting so you could see the other combo strings wukong stance has 😭 its all good tho, you do you and have fun while doing it!
You can't unlock wukong stance unless you unlock all the talents in your relics which requires you to be in ng+3. But what you can do is go to ng+ and unlock the mind relic and a new spell which are your rewards for beating erlang shen.
Also Erlang was the hardest boss for me (the 1st match of course, once you beat that then the rest is easy) and i had to grind and power up, like i said, i got to lvl 110 when i beat him and even that was close, we were both 1 hit left. So i beat the final boss on the first try. Its just a fun game honestly.
I also really want afro to go for the full relic and NG+3 difficulty run, i loved it personally and when it still felt a lil easy a simple switch to yaksha armor and boom hard lol
Glad you went back even though you really didn't have to! Although you missed the special parry animation on the boss when you do pillar stance on him but that's okay.
Anyone who has a problem with him using clone etc desperately need to go outside. He used many builds over this series and tbh it’s been super fun. This isn’t a ‘git gud’ game.
This is why Afro is the best content creator. Few would’ve “remixed” a final boss just for missing 1 move. Legend. Will miss this playthrough.
He actually missed more than one move, the combo changes into a more devil may cry mode if you wish, If you are on playstation, you can do things like, square, triangle, triangle triangle or square, square, triangle, triangle and so on and they are entirely different from the other stances

The fact that afro dogdes the immobilizes when wukong was trying to steal his drink and not noticing killed me. Lol
Happy I wasn't the only one that noticed. So far you're the only comment I see that points this out.
@@ReyMonoMan bro i just watched it two seconds ago im like how did no one point this out yet
Ready for anything😂
You can also avoid the gourd steal by only drinking when he's animation-locked, not in his neutral stance, which can just happen incidentally.
@@mediumvillain i just go cloud step and he'll even still do it and fail. Also if you pluck of many on him he even did a cutscene move on my clone.
“How do i trigger these scenes??” As he’s dodging the trigger is hilarious.
I think it's random. didn't happen, the first try
@@AMonsterMango I was playing around in my 2nd play though and kinda figured out that when he immobilizes after an attack you can dodge at last moment, but when he’s just walking and you drink you can’t dodge that one
26:06 Afro saying "fromscience" and manifesting a collab between Fromsoftware and Game Science would be the best ending to this anime.

Came here for the exact same comment. Did not disappoint.
9:33 "Afro tryna get the drinking cutscene"
" *casually dodges the whole fuckin cutscene* "
I’m glad I’m not the only one to notice it
Least he got it in the end.
but wasnt that a normal immobilize? I mean he did it AFTER the drinking. Because I dont think you can actually avoid the cutscene. Or maybe im wrong
@@almontaseralazri3107 Nah that was definitely it, you can avoid it. I managed to do so by accident myself 😅
@@Tea1993 i thought he does it when you are in locked animation

Completely agree its more DMC than anything. The GoW comparisons seem more about the protags as characters than the games theyre from. Devs tried to warn folks its not a soulslike
I don’t see the DMC comparisons. It’s more like Nioh to me with a dash of Bayonetta when in Wukong Stance.
I've never felt so disrespected in a fight since Thor brought kratos back to life in Ragnorok just to beat me again
Youre supposed to feel overpowered towards the end of the game. Wukong boss isnt supposed to be hard, its supposed to be him training you. Hes practically teaching/toying with you so its okay.

Afro hands down the best content creator 💯 W playthrough
Also you can throw the staff in wukong stance by holding left trigger move forward and once you let go press heavy attack
I'm surprised no one has said this yet (or maybe I just haven't found the comment yet) but you can respec your relic along with your sparks at the shrines.
11:24 you can throw it, during wukong stance (which you can get back btw if you manage to build up past the 4th focus point to a secret golden bar, cant be done by charging) you gain access to multiple different varied combos from every light attack, this includes a swipe into thrust and the giant staff sweep from the end of pillar stances varied combo. to throw your staff in wukong stance, you have to stand still and do your staff spin, then move forward to go into mobile spin, then press heavy attack
So from what I understand, after Wukong's death, the main thing bothering the Celestial Court were all the yaogoi kings making havoc after stealing Wukong's relics - which gave them power too great. Too much chaos. So the plan was to have the Destined One collect all of Wukong's relics in the false hope of resurrecting Wukong, then the plan was to put the crown on the Destined One to once again control Wukong. In that ending the Destined One remains in the stone egg for all eternity. Some believe the old monkey is actually the Celestial that put the crown on Wukong's head in the original Journey to the West novel but in disguise.
But Wukong had a plan of his own. He intended to die a mortal death because that would free him of the crown - provided he could be reincarnated via someone like the Destined One. Whether he shares TDO's consciousness, takes it over, or becomes a whole different being is unknown, but with the "Mind" of Wukong (his memories) held by Erlang or whatever his name is, he was in on the plan. He gives Wukong's mind to TDO which allows him the wherewithal to not allow the crown to be placed on his head again in the good ending. Just like Wukong told Erlang in the final animation, he would tear the crown off and be free.
25:30 Don't worry, you can respec relics at a shrine
I was honestly not expecting another Wukong video but I ain’t complaining. love your content btw
Amazing Playthrough bro. So glad there are creators like you listening and enjoying with us!
Damn. Afro i gotta be honest. I was content with the last episode being the last episode. The fact you ran it back for that interaction? Mad respect brother. I'll be here for your next adventure as well as for Sparking Zero, I hope to run into you there when everyone spams the hell out of ranked mode, me included Lmfao.
Afro if you want to dig further into the lore, you should watch Stories with Cookie, AvenueX, and EmpressXV (the last two are very detailed and also Chinese who live in Canada/the US). You would understand why Erlang helped Wukong, 5 of Erlang's friends who helped us reach him from each chapter (White Clad Noble, Yellow Robed Boar, Green Hat Martialist, 8 hand venom Daoist, and Ox that died by the fire cart, they all will mention "brother" and that brother is Erlang.)
I just started watching you recently and it's wild to me that you did the fight multiple times again because your comment section told you you missed stuff. Absolutely amazing stuff. Few would do this and it's awesome
Don't let em get to you Afro, I beat the boss my first try too, then ran the block for the secret ending and did it again. He's still fucking awesome, one of my favorite bosses...
BUT I WAS THE ONE BEIN DISRESPECTFUL
yess broo i was actually disappointed he didnt get that interaction ,but man i didnt expect this lets goo 🔥
That is really so cool of you to go back just for the gourd scene. Really awesome and lots of thanks for the great series, Afro.
Can't wait to see you play through the DLC! 👊
Nah Afro you’re the goat I was happy af you beat it and was glad you got to experience it but I was a little upset when you didn’t get the secret animations. You didn’t have to ever touch this game again bc you beat it but bc of your love for your fans you got back on just to get the animations for them 🐐🐐🐐
radahn arc rly trained afro so well that he made the final boss of wukong seem easy
Thanks to you that u returned but figuring it out in middle of the fight is so much better it feels so much better but u got the knowledge about the moves from comments its not the same but still thanks
I think some people mad about Afro beating wukong in 1 go because they struggled and couldn't accept that Afro did it with ease. I was also surprised when Afro beat wukong with only 1 try, because it took me like about 5 good attempts, but my ego was not as weak as some of the people😅
That’s why he’s the GOAT! THE GGOOAAATTT!!!! I’m referring to both Afro and Wukong here! I’m glad you listen to your viewers and actually went back to please us! You’re the best content creator out there!
Bro I love you, thank you
I dont think the final boss of Black Myth Wukong is anywhere near a notably hard boss but holy fuck if it isnt one of the coolest and most fun boss to play against your first time. Seeing him do all your moves and all the disrespect in the spirit of Wukong is so fucking cool
Dear Afro, if you want the animation of wukong grabbing your staff attack like the drink one?
You need to do it on his first phase. All you gonna do is...When you and wukong stare at eqch other and walking, you need to charge up the Staff slam (the one where you stand on the staff up to the max while wukong is either standing menacingly or walking while staring at you charging) and he will do that animation
Ngl we appreciate this cuz tbh I didn’t think you wouldn’t go back cuz I’m used to ppl not making a whole vid for too amazing work 🤝🏽🔥, there is a saucy way to finish the yakasha king 😈
I love that you went back for it im actually hyped but its not ORGANIC I fucking love this though going back to trigger it was something no other creator would do literally the best creator i found early 2024
you can still trigger the steal cutscene if you drink from an empty gourd, or if you put the soak that poisons yourself. Wukong will take the gourd but won't drink from it... the level of detail put in this game is insane
Love how your NG+ start is a whole different tone. Erlang is the old friend you're jazzed to see.
Yes I'm happy you redid it bc I saw clips of the disrespect and I couldn't wait to see your reactions
The only problem I've had with 😂 Afros playing is his lack of square triangle combos lol. Like square square triangle and so on.
Loved the series! If you decide to play NG+ just know that you can respec relics as well, so you didn't fuck up by picking the top one, you can always pick the middle one at the shrine!
That’s why you Goated Afro always listens to feedback and delivers.
Also you can change your relics in the self advance section in the shrines lol.
Thank you for re-doing the fight. The GOAT for real.
respect ma man for finding it yourself despite being so good not trigger it. others content creator i know would never do what you do i think.
Glad to see you play this boss again cuz of the comments too. I definitely felt bothered that you beat the game without ever using Wukong Stance at first too.
I do agree with what you said that in this game you need to embrace being overpowered instead of trying to be underpowered basically you need to enjoy it
Also a secret fact if anyone missed if you stand in the ring of fire he casts it charges your focus points as well , also keep doing what youre doing afro we love you ❤❤ much appreciated for this run back cant wait to see what's next and props to your dedication 😄
Man really went back and showed every Easter egg in the fight real nigga fr that made my day
Always glad to see some more black myth and taking the drink is crazy also I think afro did a better job this time than he did with the spells lol and I love him using spells it makes the game fun
Afro you CAN throw the staff with wukong stance only. You have to start staff spin walking then stand still while spinning and press heavy, destined one will throw the staff but you need wukong stance
One of the best fight I have come across, nice one man
The best UA-camr when it comes to play throughs like honestly you made my day and I love you man
Legend.
Nobody told him about when you do the pole stance in front of Wukong, he grabs the pole and slams him like Hulk smashes Loki in Avengers?
Was looking for this comment. I just noticed that. That was mad dope😂🔥
Glad you did this last video! The previous kind of ended abruptly lol. What a ride
These playthroughs have been amazing dude, thanks for the laughs
5:15 you can use wukongs other moves if you press different buttons i think
You did great on the broken shell. That was awesome. Honestly, good job. This game deserves GOTY.
Thank you so much afro for this. Love the commentary.
Btw the wukong stance has many different combos ... So do try them sometimes they are cool... you can throw your staff too by Holding R2 and moving forward then stop while holding R2 for a few seconds then press Sqaure
I did the same thing, I fought the secret boss before the final boss, the thing is is that you use cloud step where I switched to rock solid, so when you healed you mostly did it in cloud step for the final boss. I made myself lvl 110 just to beat Erlang lol. I am now on the start of chapter 4 in my NG+ and i think i am lvl 160 now? Its definitely fun to do a NG+ cause there is some weapons you can get in it compared to the original run
6:04 coldest shit I’ve ever seen in any wukong gameplay
The wukong stance has many varied attacks, including smash, poke and pillar. Afro should try them.
You gotta do a second play-through, it’s so much faster
you can regnite sparks on relics too btw and after NG+2 you unlock wukong stance. Then after NG +3 you unlock speaking when doing the fully charged heavy stance
So you noticed my comment! Hats off to you coming back to it bro. Love your content.
ng+ in this game is a joy... just run through the bosses you want/need for the main quest :D i can only suggest ng+ for this game
man i couldn't defeat the last boss untill i got the last spear from the secret boss which also took me days, i followed your road untill the end and i wanna say that i loved it!
First new game plus is easy as hell but the 2nd is like starting a new game scale wise. Thats when you unlock the wukong stance. Also the way afro beat the final fights is in any way can be considered cheese. He was just dodging and playing well. Some people just wants him to die a couple of time because they did and probably much worst at those fight.
This might be a bit late, but Afro the wukong stance does have move like “staff throw” and these moves are triggered by pressing different buttons in a combo, from what I’ve got, press heavy attack in between each light attack combo, they will give you either smash, pillar, or thrust, so for example 1 light then heavy, or 2 light then heavy, etc. the throw is triggered by using the deflect, then heavy attack (but it doesn’t work that consistently for me, so maybe there’s some other factors for it)
Man I was hoping to see him get countered by using the pole stance since that’s a fun interaction! But congrats on beating the game Afro!!❤
thanks for doing the content for your fans my guy 100!
26:01 I agree 100%
You probably know this by now, but you can respec your relic in the same rmenu you respec your other stats, just tab over to the right one time, then you can pick that middle relic option
S/o to Afro for being cool about the comments & being open to criticism. I get turned off by so many UA-camrs/streamers because they act like dicks to their community. He could’ve easily been negative about the elden ring comparisons or an asshole about it, but he simply just explained his stance in a cool friendly way✊🏾
Hey afro I wasn't expecting to see this video but I'm really happy you did this
I doubt he'll run through the game again, at least so soon or on camera; but I promise you he'd get all these animations if he played New game plus. The bosses are so much more overpowered and smarter, especially Erlang dude my god.
Afro if you have a save before you went to the final painting, you could go fight Wukong first then his brother and someone else. IT WOULD BE FIRE🔥
W vid afro! I’m actually surprised you went back and broke the typical trope that other youtubers are doing by putting self restrictions on themselves, you were just playing the game the way you wanted to and had fun.
on that note, when your in Wukong stance or in any stance really.. Afro. Please. Press. Triangle. In. The. Middle. Of. Your. Combos. 😂 i’m over here yelling “PRESS TRIANGLE” at my monitor when you were fighting so you could see the other combo strings wukong stance has 😭 its all good tho, you do you and have fun while doing it!
It’s hard to think one mad man thought of all of this in a time where people were farming rice😂😂😂😂
Bro really tryna be doing everything the haaaaaaaard wayyyyyyyyyy
W_afro
You can't unlock wukong stance unless you unlock all the talents in your relics which requires you to be in ng+3.
But what you can do is go to ng+ and unlock the mind relic and a new spell which are your rewards for beating erlang shen.
Also Erlang was the hardest boss for me (the 1st match of course, once you beat that then the rest is easy) and i had to grind and power up, like i said, i got to lvl 110 when i beat him and even that was close, we were both 1 hit left. So i beat the final boss on the first try. Its just a fun game honestly.
9:30 you can actually dodge his stealing gourd cutscene if you roll right away after drinking which you did accidentally here 😁
what i like about afro is he always sees the fans comments
huge respect for that
I also really want afro to go for the full relic and NG+3 difficulty run, i loved it personally and when it still felt a lil easy a simple switch to yaksha armor and boom hard lol
3:20 Stone Monkey: “I heard you were talking shit.”
Glad you went back even though you really didn't have to! Although you missed the special parry animation on the boss when you do pillar stance on him but that's okay.
12:31 I was presssed! When he didn’t do that to you the first time around. I was like bro is on easy mode cause ain’t no way
With this video my life is complete. Biggest inspiration right here.
Anyone who has a problem with him using clone etc desperately need to go outside. He used many builds over this series and tbh it’s been super fun.
This isn’t a ‘git gud’ game.
