I’m diving right into this guide like a caffeine-fueled gamer at midnight, all set to tackle the enigma that is Commander Honglan in “Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.” Now, this isn’t your casual stroll through a pixel park; this fight’s a big deal—like, “can’t-progress-without-it” big deal. You face her monstrosity to get this epic Wei – Combo Force benediction. I mean, who wouldn’t want a damage boost after all that effort? Plus, you snag the Reverant Temple Key, which is apparently your VIP pass to the next gaming adventure.
Let’s map this out: you’re probably scratching your head, wondering where to find her. Well, she’s chillin’ at the Palace Hill, a place dubbed Worship’s Rise. Trek to the shrine, take a left, and there’s this Buddha Statue doing its hidden thing. Grab it, because draining the lotus pond—yep, that’s what it does—is your ticket to the showdown. I was half expecting it to start a light show or something, but nope, it just opens the battlefield.
Okay, gear up time. Commander Honglan is a “human-type” boss, no fancy elemental shields or anything—which makes things less messy, thankfully. But hey, she’s not picky about status effects. Fire/Burn seems like the coolest (or hottest?) option since, you know, it does damage over time. Oh, and boosts damage from other sources. Go figure.
Defense is kinda crucial here. Her sword slashes are almost rhythmic, like she’s carving out sheet music. So armor with Slash and Stab protection? Yes, please. In-game bazaar, anyone? You can grab the Centipede Armor Set from Tao Qing. Sounds like a bargain if you’ve already tangled with the Blightweaver Great Centipede.
Weapons-wise, my heart says Longsword, because who doesn’t love the reliability of counter disciplines like Sword Counter? But, if you’re feeling like tossing axes around, an Axe with the Rampage discipline is solid, too. Clash mechanic? Basically your ace up the sleeve when Honglan is on a damage spree.
Alright, first phase. She’s wielding a longsword, slashing with the enthusiasm of a hyperactive kid with a stick. Watch her patterns; predict, deflect, and counter like it’s a dance-off at your high school reunion. If patience is a virtue, then consider yourself Buddha while she attacks. Yeah, stay alive and calculate those parries.
Now the real kicker: Phase two will test your dodge ability—frantic actually. She switches to dual blades and everything turns into a blur. Imagine trying to catch flying papers in a windstorm; that’s her second phase for you. Keep your dodged moves snappy and heal smartly. You don’t wanna be caught sipping your health potion when she’s on a rampage, do you?
That wraps it. This battle demands your patience, your reflexes, and maybe a little (a lot?) persistence. But hey, once she’s down, celebration time. Grab that loot and march on. Life in pixels, man. It’s a ride.
