Strategies for Defeating Commander Honglan in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Okay, so let’s talk about Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. And Commander Honglan. Yeah, she’s the big deal. You can’t just skip her and go off exploring—the game forces you to face her head-on. And man, is it a test. Defeat her, and you get this fancy Wei – Combo Force thingy, which makes you hit harder the more you smash that attack button. Oh, and you snag a Reverant Temple Key, which is like your VIP pass to the next area. Kind of a big deal.

So you wanna know how to tackle this boss? Grab your coffee or whatever, and let’s dive in. First things first, you gotta find her. She hides out in the Palace Hill shrine. Go left at the shrine, and there’s this Buddha Statue. Weird, right? Hit up this stone structure—and boom, cutscene. Epic boss arena unlocked.

Now, before you go rushing in like a headless chicken, let’s talk prep. Honglan’s kind of like this ultimate warrior type. No elemental resistance. Nada. Chuck fire at her, though. Turns out Burn is like her kryptonite, dealing damage over time.

Your defense game needs to be on point. Slash and Stab protection—yep, that’s what you need. Ever heard of the Centipede Armor Set? It’s perfect for this. You can buy it from Tao Qing. Trust me, you’ll want that.

Speaking of weapons, let’s chat strategy. Longswords. Why? They’ve got deflect disciplines. Or pick an Axe with Rampage. That’s my favorite. The Lashing Whip Longsword from Mercury Workshop? Absolute beast.

Alright, Phase One. She’s testing your skills, like making sure you’re not just button mashing. It’s frustrating, no doubt. Stick with it. Learn her moves—like a mental dance routine. She’ll occasionally lunge if you’re far away. Easy to parry. Try it.

Phase Two. It gets wild. Dual blades. She’s a whirlwind of blades, and if you’re not careful, bam—health bar drops. Perfect dodging is your new best friend here. Parrying? Forget it. Not happening. Heal smart. No panic potions right in front of her or you’re toast.

Stay cool, be like Bruce Lee reincarnated. Circle to your left. It’s your best shot at survival, for real. If you’ve got extra status ailments or a poise break saved up, use it! Otherwise, buckle up for a long fight. Be patient, be aggressive—catch her slipping, and you’ll be the champ.

Trust me, I’ve been there. It’s a rush, but once she’s down… sweet victory, my friend.
