Many bosses in Phantom Blade Zero follow a similar formula: break the boss's stamina, do damage to them, rinse and repeat. However, some bosses have an annoying extra mechanic that shakes up the formula and makes the fight seem harder than it actually is. Wu Xuan — The Fallen General is one such Boss.

What makes this fight particularly difficult is the armor bar, instead of the stamina bar, the boss has on himself. Not to mention, Wu Xuan also has attacks that will constantly burn you and slowly chip away at your health. Long story short, this is an annoying endurance fight, but fortunately it's very manageable if you know what to do.

While it's not necessary, you definitely should do a few things before you attempt to fight The Fallen General. Firstly, definitely equip the Dread Axe (the first heavy weapon you get in the game). While it's nothing fancy, this axe will do a good chunk of damage to Wu Xuan's armor and if you have it upgraded enough, you can even turn it into a three-attack hit. This can pretty much get rid of half of its armor.

Phantom Blade Zero's launch was as big as expected, and the weekend is still to come.

Another useful accessory is the Shieldbreaker Talisman. With this, you can chip away at the boss's shield a bit faster. It won't win you the fight, but it can make it go by a bit faster.

Obviously, bring the Healing Gourds you are most comfortable with because you will need a lot of healing, especially when Wu Xuan starts using his fire attacks.
