Repeat Areas

Revisiting battlefields is a strategic way to accelerate leveling and enhance your gear. Each encounter with enemies, both familiar and new, yields valuable loot such as copper and weapons. Salvaging these weapons for Jewels allows you to upgrade your gear, making it more powerful and effective in combat. This improved equipment significantly increases your efficiency in defeating enemies and bosses, thereby speeding up your loot collection.

While repeating areas might seem monotonous, it’s essential for quick progression. To keep the experience engaging, experimenting with different playstyles is recommended. This not only adds variety but also helps you discover the gameplay approach that suits you best.

Moreover, Side Quests in the game introduce variations by changing enemy placements and including unexpected elements to surprise players, enhancing the replayability and keeping the game experience fresh.

Complete Side Quests

While the game’s lore and narrative might not be its strongest suit, side quests offer an opportunity to delve deeper into the world. They provide additional content, flesh out locations, and offer insights into enemies. Additionally, gear obtained from these quests often surpasses current equipment in strength.

Side Quests also offer variety, providing different experiences within familiar locations. This helps alleviate the tedium of revisiting areas, allowing players to enjoy fresh challenges with new enemy placements.

Moreover, completing Side Quests yields extra rewards, including gear and Qi, which are more valuable than Copper. Prioritize completing quests like the one shown in the screenshot above to level up quickly in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

Salvage & Upgrade Equipment

You can salvage unused items for materials, primarily Jewels, at a Blacksmith.

These Jewels can then be used to enhance weapons and armor by embedding them. Make it a habit to regularly salvage unnecessary equipment upon returning from battles to strengthen your character.

Consider salvaging strong equipment that doesn’t align with your playstyle. By now, you may have discovered a preferred playstyle through completing quests and side quests. Focus on keeping equipment that complements your playstyle, as other weapon types may not be as useful, even if they are powerful.

Regularly Spend Genuine Qi

Spend Genuine Qi to increase your Virtues | From eXputer

Genuine Qi serves as a crucial resource for enhancing your virtues. Similar to Souls in FromSoftware’s titles, keeping Genuine Qi for too long is risky. If you die, you lose it and must recover it, which can be frustrating.

Recovery becomes even more challenging as you must defeat the enemy who defeated you to regain Genuine Qi. However, if you die from other causes, you won’t face this ordeal.

To mitigate risk, spend Genuine Qi wisely on enhancements that suit your build and playstyle. Avoid accumulating large amounts to prevent potential losses in challenging encounters.

Cautiously Recover Genuine Qi 

Recovering Genuine Qi is perilous, especially after falling to a stronger enemy. Approach these encounters with caution to avoid losing Genuine Qi permanently. It’s advisable to keep a minimal amount on hand.

If you do lose a significant amount of Genuine Qi, grind on weaker enemies separately to strengthen your character before facing the stronger foe again. Genuine Qi is essential for improving your strength and effectiveness.

Play In Co-Op

Playing with a friend significantly speeds up progress and reduces tedium. Co-op allows you to swiftly overcome enemies and traverse areas. Partnering with someone who has already completed the game can expedite progress even further. Co-op gameplay also enhances enjoyment by making encounters more dynamic and less repetitive.

Wrapping Up

Fans of FromSoftware’s works have found a very familiar experience in these Team Ninja games, as is further proven by this Subreddit Post. It is hilarious how a lot of the frustrations are also shared. These games offer a very good amount of content that also incentivizes replayability and Co-Op.

The only thing that we want from the next title is good exploration. We aren’t looking for Skyrim, but it would feel really good to have such good combat in an actually engaging lore-filled world. You can still do a lot in the game, like learn how to do invasions or farm Cups of Cordiality.

The game reminds us a lot of Nioh. We did enjoy most of our experience. The repetitiveness is offputting, but you adapt to it soon. Did you like the game? Were you familiar with the historical figures who appear in it? Which playstyle do you love? Let us know all about it in the comments below.
