This phase is all about patience and attrition, even more so than the first phase. You’ll always have a brief moment of respite to heal as the second phase begins, as Zhang will always start with a sweep of his demonic arm that will never have the range to hit you from your starting position. Denoted with the red glow, the only barrier to this tactic is timing, which will come with studying attacks, and likely multiple deaths and attempts. In both phases, as with many of the coming boss fights in the game, your ace in the hole is deflecting any and all Critical Blow attacks that an enemy performs. As usual, keep your lock-on engaged on Liang as he does so, and don't get trigger happy with the deflect button wait until the last moment as he slams down. Liang will occasionally launch into the air with his club, which will cause him to hang in the air for a second or two before slamming down. Every little bit of damage counts!Īfter each of his attacks (should you successfully deflect) you’ll have a brief window in which you can perform a Normal, Normal, Spirit attack combo that can keep him stunlocked for brief periods of time, and if it is rapidly repeated you can whittle his health down quickly. Whilst the spells aren’t super effective, the brief moments of distance you can gain from Zhang in this first phase will allow you to cast a couple of spells. If you haven’t already unlocked and assigned any Wizardry Spells, it’s worth doing so at the Battle Flag if you die and need another attempt at defeating Zhang. If you want a couple of free hits, immediately sprint towards him at the beginning of the fight as he slams down his mace/club weapon, and even use a Martial Arts attack if you’re feeling confident. Whilst Zhang will by far be the most agile and aggressive opponent you have faced thus far, his first phase shouldn’t prove too much trouble so long as you have a good grasp of the Deflect mechanic.
