Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Tips And Tricks – 10 Important Things It Doesn’t Tell You

BBG News

In the realm of Shu, finding oneself as a pirate with amnesia amidst cursed creatures and hostile humans, it’s far from a dream getaway. But for the game Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, it’s an enchanting Souls-like world filled with stunning ruined landscapes and engaging combat encounters. The objective is to regain your lost memories while slaying bosses. Despite following a well-trodden formula, Wuchang introduces some unique mechanics that are worth learning for survival in the Land of Shu. Here’s ten essential tips to help you battle – and prosper – in this enigmatic land.

Prioritize Weapon Masteries in the Skill Tree

As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but feel drawn to the Souls-like essence of ‘Wuchang’. It challenges me to test out every unique weapon, seeking that perfect fit for my playstyle or for conquering the next challenge. Fortunately, ‘Wuchang’ offers something known as Weapon Mastery. Delve into the skill tree for a specific weapon type and invest points to elevate its potential damage to the maximum. The cherry on top? Since these skill nodes affect weapon categories rather than individual weapons, they’ll boost all weapons within that category. Fancy switching from the Lashing Whip longsword to something else? Or perhaps dual-wielding the same type without worrying about individual upgrades? This system is tailor-made for such scenarios. It also comes in handy if you wish to master two distinct weapon types, a necessity to truly harness ‘Wuchang’s most powerful mechanics.

Death, Its Consequences and How Madness Ties in

In Wuchang, death is not the final chapter – instead, it leads to more chaos through Madness. However, with every gain comes a loss. When you die at a low level of Madness, only a small amount of Red Mercury, which serves as the standard currency in this world, is lost. But should you choose to push your Madness higher, the amount of Red Mercury dropped escalates dramatically, potentially leading to losing it all. High levels of Madness also summon your Inner Demon, and only by vanquishing it can you reclaim the Red Mercury. Moreover, dying increases your level of Madness, so be cautious when carrying large amounts of Red Mercury at high Madness, as a rash move could lead to more trouble.

How to Reduce Your Madness (In-Game)

Having madness increases the amount of damage you inflict, but also raises the damage you take. This can work for or against you based on your approach to gameplay. Nevertheless, there are various strategies to lessen its impact and restore balance, allowing madness to subside. Killing feathered foes and specific bosses helps reduce it. Overcoming your Inner Demon entirely eliminates the madness, but be cautious – if you fail, all your Red Mercury will vanish.

Best Skills When Embracing the Madness

In much the same way that madness shares similarities with gravity, it’s no surprise that it comes with impressive abilities given its risk versus reward nature. For instance, Swift Resilience significantly diminishes the damage you receive when using Swift Draw, making these actions harder to disrupt. On the other hand, Steel Resolve provides a boost called Skyborn Might whenever you successfully deflect an attack. However, both skills require you to maintain a madness level above 50%. Keep in mind that weapons capable of deflection are necessary to utilize Steel Resolve effectively. These skills are merely two examples of how madness can be harnessed for extraordinary power, so feel free to explore and discover more!

Look for Golden Chests to Upgrade the Manna Vase

As a gamer diving into the world of Wuchang, I’ve found that enhancing my abilities, whether they’re skills, masteries, or stat upgrades, all revolve around the skill tree. To access certain nodes, you’ll need various currencies, materials, and skill points. This rule applies to Manna Capacity as well, which boosts the number of charges in your Manna Vase, acting as the Estus Flask for Wuchang. Initially, I start with just three uses, so upgrading it is a priority, but I’ll need a rare material called Forgotten Remembrance to do so. Keep an eye out for Golden Chests scattered across the Land of Shu, as they are the key to finding these valuable items. Prepare to stray from the main path at times, but trust me, the rewards will be worth it!

Collect Aurum Feathers for Random Temporary Buffs

Pay attention also to the birds with golden feathers, not the enemy birds trying to harm you. These birds can be found in conspicuous places and killing them yields an Aurum Feather, a temporary item that boosts your maximum health, stamina, or damage output. The effect is random, but since they are easy to find, it’s definitely worth collecting them. However, remember not to rely on farming these birds as they do not respawn when resting alongside enemies.

Beware (and Seek) The Red Eyes

Enemies with glowing red eyes in games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne are typically formidable opponents. They possess higher health, inflict greater damage, and can be quite frustrating to confront. Nevertheless, these adversaries often yield substantial quantities of Red Mercury. You might choose to challenge them early on for a speedy advantage or save your encounter for later to augment your earnings. Regardless of your approach, remember not to underestimate or overlook them, even if they prove overwhelming initially.

Swift Draw: Advantages and Recommended Skills

As a devoted fan, I’ve come to appreciate the distinctive Souls-like mechanics that abound in various games. In the thrilling realm of Wuchang, it’s the swift and powerful technique known as Swift Draw that captivates me. This mechanic is activated during weapon switches and combines Skyborn Might for an instant offensive strike, allowing for seamless continuation of combos.

However, Swift Draw doesn’t stop there; it also unleashes the weapon’s unique skill, making it a strategic addition to certain combinations, depending on the effects each skill offers. To access this feature, you must first acquire the Swift Resilience skill. For those who favor high Madness builds, Conversion is an additional skill worth considering.

Once your Madness level surpasses 50%, Swift Draw attacks become even more potent, and their power increases significantly above 90% Madness. Furthermore, a successful Swift Draw will restore a modest amount of health, which can be beneficial when dealing with the increased damage endured due to high Madness levels.

Quickly Locating Important NPCs

In the Kingdom of Shu, not all non-player characters (NPCs) are hostile towards you. You’ll encounter various NPCs offering trades such as weapons, armor, and other items, or giving out side missions. Some of these missions may even influence the main storyline. If you find it challenging to remember where all these characters are located, consider using the teleport feature. The faces of the NPCs will appear next to locations you’ve previously visited, making it easier for you to find them.

Blue Interactables, Emotes and Free Items

While exploring, you might come across peculiar glowing blue dots. Interacting with them appears to have no immediate effect, but they seem to suggest something important through their dialogue. If you pick the correct emotive response, they’ll reward you with a free item such as Candied Haws, an item that temporarily boosts your Stamina recovery speed and maximum health. So, make sure to decipher their hints, select the appropriate emoticon, and reap the benefits.
