Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty: How To Coop [Explained]

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty brings back the coop and multiplayer, which is mostly similar to Nioh but with a few new additions and changes. You can clear out most areas and kill bosses with your friends in multiplayer, and the game even gives you an NPC ally in almost every mission.

How To Coop In Wo Long

In order to unlock coop in the first place, you’ll have to beat the first main boss in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty known as Zhang Liang. Basically, you’ll need to clear out the tutorial level alone, and then the game will allow you to coop in the following missions after the first one.

Firstly, you should know that you can play in multiplayer with two different friends in the game. However, the game almost always assigns an NPC ally to help you out in every mission. That ally can take up one multiplayer slot, and you will only be able to coop with a single friend if the ally is present.

However, the game gives you an item known as the Willow Branch, which can be used to part your way with the NPC ally. This will make the NPC leave, and you will gain another multiplayer slot if you want to coop with two friends in the game additionally. But if you only want to play with a single friend, then you should also keep the NPC ally with you in Wo Long.

In order to enter multiplayer in the first place, you’ll have to rest at a Battle Flag, which is similar to shrines in Nioh or Graces in Elden Ring. While resting, you will come across the ‘Online Lobby’; selecting it will take you to the multiplayer or Coop, where you’ll have three different options which are;

• Recruit
• Coop
• Invade

Recruit allows you to play with random players, whereas coop allows you to play with your friends in the game. Invasion is a new mechanic added to Team Ninja’s games with Wo Long. However, it works in a similar fashion to Fromsoftware games, where you will invade other players’ worlds and try to kill them.

You should note that in Wo Long, you’ll need a Tiger Seal to summon a friend in the game. If you’re summoning two friends, then you’ll need two Tiger Seals additionally. Basically, a Tiger Seal is needed for multiplayer in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and without it, you won’t be able to summon friends or even randoms.

Multiplayer With Randoms

Calling random players into your world or answering the call of other random to go into their world in order to help them is pretty straightforward and easy. All you have to do is select the Recruit Option from the Online Lobby menu, and then you can either choose to call random players into your world or go into their worlds to help them.

However, you should know that you’ll need a Tiger Seal in order to summon a random player and two Tiger Seals if you’re summoning two players additionally. Tiger Seals are not needed to get summoned into other players’ worlds in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. If you get summoned into a random player’s world, then go prepared, as you won’t be able to rest at his flag and change your equipment and Divine Beasts.

Multiplayer With Friends

Select the COOP option in the online lobby of the game if you want to play with your friends, and the game will ask you to make a password. Both you and your friends should have the same password in order to play together. 

Once the password is set, you can invite your friends to join your game. Then you can select the mission that you want to play with your friends. Both you and your friends can change their equipment before the mission begins, and once everyone is ready, you can start the mission in the game.

Playing with your friends in multiplayer mode or Coop definitely makes Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty easier, but some bosses or enemies are really tough, and one of you can end up dying. Fear not, though, as there is an option for reviving downed teammates in the game, but you can only revive someone only a few times, as indicated by the red bar above the downed teammate that depletes every time they die. And when the red bar is fully depleted, the player is sent back into his own world.

Invading Other Players

You can also invade other players in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, which is a new addition to Team Ninja’s games. And to our surprise, Wo Long has been getting praised for its PVP and Build Variety, streamers like OroboroTV, who love playing PVP in Fromsoftware games, are enjoying Wo Long’s invasions as well.

You can basically invade the world of other players and kill them for rewards. However, the invasion option does not unlock until you complete the main mission known as The Demon Fort of the Yellow Heaven. Once you complete that mission, the option to invade other players will become available.

Things To Know About Multiplayer

There is a Level Sync mechanic that ensures to make the game is more balanced when playing with a friend of high level. Basically, if you summon a friend who is his endgame to your early game mission, then the game will lower your friend’s overall level and increase the level of enemies in order to balance things out.

Additionally, you should know that Tiger Seals are extremely important in the Coop of the game. You need these items to summon allies. You can get the Tiger Seals by the following methods;

• From Loot that you find on the ground.
• By Invading and killing other players.
• By defeating enemies at Burial Flags found throughout missions.
