How to unlock the Journey's Beginning achievement in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty - Definitive Guide

Hey everyone,

To unlock this achievement you need to defeat the first boss of the game Zhang Liang. Imho is one of the toughest in the game, so don't worry, it gets easier after.

I made this video to help you understand better how to defeat it:


Aside from the video, some general info that are worth mentioning: you have two main stats, your attributes (wood, metal, water, gold and fire) and your morale.
Your morale is set to the area you in (in this case it's 10 if you start straight from the resting flag and you have unlocked all of them). Morale determines how much damage you suffer and how much damage you do: higher morale means higher damage. So if you find yourself in a predicament, you can farm a bit some of the mobs outside his area to start the fight with 11 or even 12 morale. You can make the boss drop some of his morale when you deflect his red attacks (in the video it'll drop from 10 to 9). So that means deflecting red attacks is very important!
Be aware of your ki bar (the one you have in the middle), if you are in the left side of it, you do LESS damage and you can't use your spells in some cases, as well as you may get stunned if it's too far on the side. On the contrary, if it's on the right side, you deal more damage overall, crits included. So try not to spam too many spells, unless you are very sure of your dodge/deflect game.
Wo shares some similarities with Sekiro, which means it's better to be on the offensive (deflections and counters) rather than dodging a lot (like Elden Ring/Dark Souls).
Hope this video and those general tips helped you!

Happy Hunting!

This achievement unlocks after you beat Zhang Liang boss finishing Chapter 1: The Encounter. For those that did chapter 1 and 2 from the demo that carries over progress, story achievements for chapters 1 and 2 unlock at the same time you beat chapter 3, but sometimes it could become missable as it doesn't unlock chapter 1 and 2 cleared achievements if you continue from the 2nd demo save progress. Also here is how to beat Zhang Liang both forms, was from the first demo in 2022

So for those who played the demo, do we need to start new characters to get this and the Zhao Yun oath or can we go back and beat him again for it?

So just fyi, as soon as I unlocked my next story achievement, the two story achievements missed from the demo (this and Zhao Yun oath) unlocked with it. Cheers.

At this point I'm 99% sure what is going on

People are arriving at this boss with their level too low and he is tearing them a new one. I fought very well but just couldn't get the edge on him after many attempts. I backtracked and practiced on the enemies to get really good at the mechanics and levelled up to 10. I returned and absolutely destroyed him

WTF. DON'T play in Japanese/Chinese voices. I never even noticed a summon bar was filling up and you press Y+B when the 2nd form is at 50% hp. I thought you had to beat ALL of the second form. Obviously I'm not reading fucking subtitles while fighting, so I didn't realize a tutorial was being given. Horrible piece of shit game for making this so unclear. 0/10, don't play this.

Dude Truthfulskate8 lol. Thats the most lamest take i ever seen. You never tried Ninja Gaiden in Japanese language either. Japanese games with a ninja keep it japanese language, even doa games from Itagaki is japanese as the only language. So i guess you don't like anime thats in Japanese

That's basically what I said. All this fuss over the first boss, and it's just because people are getting to him with their level too low

Fighting Zhang Liang at low levels is ok, his window is big for when you have to do Critical Deflects to counter. For the bosses later in the game though i recommend being highest morale available in the level before the boss.

You are correct. You can beat him at a lower level if you mastered the games mechanics early on, but being higher level and moral makes it much easier. As someone who doesn't play these kind of games very much (just Lords of the Fallen) it was a bit frustrating and I think a lot of people will just delete the game/demo after failing the boss a few times, which would be a shame, as it gets a lot easier after him and the game itself is really cool and I love the setting.

Yeah, i love challenge and during demo 1 in 2022 i beat Zhang Liang at morale rank 5 too. Back then on Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 ps3 i loved to speedrun missions and doing the hard missions with different weapons and clearing UN1 multiple times with x2 Dual Katana. It sucks that NGMC didn't have online functions like ps3 NGS2 did. I NG3 NG3RE i cleared every trial on ps3 and did NG3RE UN1 with x2 Kasumi, another with x2 Dragon Sword. UN2 i did with x2 Ayane, x2 Lunar Staff, x2 Dual Katana, x2 Kusarigama, x2 Dragon Sword, of course x2 Momiji also. I don't include Scythe as a count

That video doesn't look like the boss area I'm fighting him in, and the patterns are different also.

Also Zhang Liang vine arm thats incoming glowing red arm you wait to critical blow is like a practice to teach ppl to sometimes wait abit to counter certain situation.

No need to shame people in a solution thread. Besides, you can't very well compare this guy to anything Dark Souls. You pretty much need to get many deflections of critical blows to take this boss down. If you do that, it's not that hard, but if you're trying to play it like a Souls boss, it's going to be near impossible. Nothing before this prepares you for that, because none of the enemies leading up to it are hard to kill with basic attacks.

I believe you can replay areas so I could just try that to get it. I am not sure but never tried but I do know you can teleport to it just not sure if you can fight him again. I fought them again through travel didn't work, and even started new game and passed pig boss and it still not unlocked.
6/2/23 I just started up game and it unlocked without me doing anything.

For everyone struggling with the first boss. I have a few tips I hadn't seen anywhere else before.
1. Level up by repeatedly farming enemies and respawning them afterwards. I was Level 14 when I killed the Boss and it was a breeze compared to my struggles in the Demo.
2. Raise your moral to 25 before you enter the battle
3. Kill the demon Tiger repeatedly, getting a new item each time and 500xp, for faster leveling and gearing up. (if your moral is 25 you will most likely one shot him with a stealth attack)

Hope this helps. Have fun.

To obtain this achievement we must defeat the first boss of the game, Shang Liang in its two phases.
The first is easy, get close and attack him repeatedly dodging his attacks to fill the red bar and as soon as you complete it use the Y button to execute a powerful attack, you shouldn't have problem. The second phase is a bit more difficult, but the key here is to keep your distance and execute successful parrys to immobilize him and attack him. Once your summon bar is full, your partner will notify you and you will have to press the Y+B buttons and that's it, I hope this video helps you.

To deal more damage, you need to reach a higher morale scale than the boss (I got to 25 and this was enough to deal significant damage in the second phase of the battle). To do this, run between the last banners before the boss, killing mobs. In addition to the scale, you can pump up your HP and reduce the cost of parrying.
In my case, the boss in the 2nd phase rarely used unblockable attacks, which is why I could not carry out a sufficient number of counterattacks after parrying, as happens in most “video guides”.
After calling the ult (Y+B), a cut-scene occurs and then a trophy drops out.
