I made a past a couple weeks ago telling folks to not let Whiteclad Noble be the thing that stops them in the game.

Fast forward to now, and I finally took out the final boss (default ending, nothing special). Final boss was annoying at times, but not too bad. Plus the random gimmicks he does were amusing enough to take a lot of the edge off.

Given that folks said NG+ is the revenge tour, decided to start off immediately.

Chapter one took me a little over an hour to finish. Of the bosses in it, Guangzhi took me out because I got greedy. Other than that, didn’t have any issues.

Except Whiteclad Noble.

He didn’t kill me, didn’t hit nearly as hard.

But it’s his goddamn arena that’s the problem. Dude has a couple football fields length to play around with, and he likes to use it. Obviously there are workarounds, but that doesn’t make it any less infuriating.

Using Immobilize on him actually reminds me of that fight between Marv and Kevin in the woods in “Sin City”:

“Got you ya little bastard; let’s see you hop around now.”

TL;DR: If Whiteclad Noble is causing you issues, don’t give up. Solid game waits on the other side of him.

I bought the game the day it released. Played through it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The first several boss fights were challenging but not impossible.

And then I got to Whiteclad Noble.

Not sure what the hell happened, but I ran into a wall in terms of difficulty. Went and did some grinding to get additional skills/abilities. Watched some videos and read some strategies. Still no bueno for a dozen more attempts.

Literally uninstalled the game and walked away until the other day. Came back and after a couple dozen more attempts, managed to take him down.

Working through chapter three now and have yet to encounter another boss that destroyed me as thoroughly as that dude.

Stoked that I got past him, glad I didn’t permanently write the game off.
