A fun thing to note about Nuwa. If you notice she's wearing funny little shoes and her feet have a characteristic humped shape. It seems she practiced footbinding.

In Fuxi's memories, it can be seen that he has a very strong willpower. He seems to be the only person who has memories of his infancy, and even the last two memories are from the time when he became a half-zombie. By the way, the last fragment is not completely black. If you look closely, you can see the outline of Fuxi, as if he was talking to a mirror.It's like he's forcing his consciousness to stay with his sister.
@@evanbaxter7356 You need to defeat both the twins here and Ji, then talk to abacus. Then you can delete any mutant stuff, like the eyes that shoot at you.
As professional actors and performers in their tribe, the two siblings, Fuxi and Nuwa, hosted plays, banquets, and parties across their homeland. They were always full of music, dancing and tons of joy. Despite the criticism they received over the years, their wealth kept them as secure rulers over their domain. They loved and cherished each other, and there was nothing separating them. However, their joy turned to sadness. One day, Eigong was working on a cure to erase viruses and outbreaks that would infect, mutate or even kill its host. Fuxi was infected with a peculiar sickness, that caused his body to mutate and weaken. When Eigong's cure was tested on him, it didn't seem to be effective. If anything, the mutation got worse, so they had to resort to injections and shots instead. Nuwa was worried and concerned for her brother, but reassured herself that they'll always be together no matter what and that Fuxi's body will fully recover. But it didn't.....It stayed mutated ever since. Regardless, they continued their duty to party and celebrate, despite the involvement of the other subjects who were also infected with this virus...Their screams or cries for death never reached the sound of instruments. They were together and that was what mattered. But now, they're free from this torment. They've played their final song and now.... they're dead in each other's arms...
No, they were not professional actors and performers. Acting was just a hobby for the siblings. They were nobility, the wealthy kind of nobility. In ancient China, actors were considered a lower-status profession, so their family criticized and opposed the siblings' involvement in acting. Moreover, the younger sister, Nuwa, had bound feet, which made it difficult for her to walk (so she would always sit), let alone dance and perform on stage.

That's the fun part about a lot of the game’s bosses, they sound absolutely unhinged out of context. Take Goumang for example: A cat-harpy-lady sics her pet zombies on you, so you need to beat them up until she flies over to re-reanimate them with a bell and is thus vulnerable to you. You, of course, being the short cat king capable of chopping the air so hard the impact conjures swords of pure Qi.
Its interesting how 1st half of the game was mostly villain (except Kaufu who is first) while 2nd half of the game is mostly victims of Eigong (except Eigong herself obviously). Lady Etereal is kind and benevolent person who got hit by tragedy after tragedy without time to mend those wounds due to tight demands from Eigong and rest of the council. Fuxi seems also seems a good person with his openness, ability to seize moment and operate his clan& Empyrean district well before he fell to illness. But then he became Eigong's experiment victim and became living corpse barely clinging to tiny bit of last remaining sanity. Nuwa is just innocent girl who was cherished by her protective and loving brother until he felt ill then Eigong gave her false hope of cure and made her scum to delusions. Ji was just an immortal being who just happened to join council without much interaction and instead of granting his wish of glorious finale to his life or allowing him to form bond with another hero, he just became Eigong's another expriment victim (which lead to downfall of his whole race as Eigong made bullshit mutation serum with his cells). I genuinely felt bad for all 3 of them and it was a great emotional reason to hate Eigong before we even meet her.
They are all quite interesting. Lady Ethereal is perhaps the most kind hearted person in the council, even more so than Kaufu, pure of heart; Ji has his own personal quest and doesn't seem to have even a little bit of greed and ego in him; Fuxi, for better or worse, took his position very seriously ( Sol of Integrity) and made sure the Empyrean district flourished; Nuwa wasn't a bad person at all, but Fuxi's condition broke her on a very fundamental level, she relied on him too much. Eigong is the least interesting, your typical genius scientist that has " an epiphany" during the research, which to the audience is unadulterated crazy talk...but she's still a very fun fight.
@@pilot3605Eigong is still executed pretty well tho, mostly because you spend a large portion of the game learning about how she screwed her entire species over and how willing she is to do it again, regardless of who she fucks up in the process.
@@pilot3605 The epiphany came after repeated failures to find a cure to a virus she herself caused in the search for immortality. If anything it's less her being a mad scientist and her trying desperately to justify all the pain, hardship, and ultimately the extinction of her entire species that are all squarely at her feet. If nothing else, it just shows that a rational mind can come to very rational conclusions to justify even the most horrible of actions.
That's extremely clutch to execute. A tip I have is to hold the parry button when you parry the second dagger so your unbound counter charges immediately, and release as soon as it is charged.
@@gchnookums4951 It's not really frame perfect btw. It's a short window but once you get used to the rhythm, you can pull it off consistently. Even more so when you consider that this move is always 100% the same, so it's super predictable.
Yi is shockingly expressive for someone whose mouth is always hidden . . . And I think anyone would be concerned in this situstion, considering what exactly he's looking at.
I struggled with this fight because of the combo of the two daggers during his unblockable attack. I didn't realize it was possible to parry both daggers and still get an unbound counter off-- the timing is very tight. I ended up saving my arrows for that attack to interrupt it, but still ended up eating a dagger about half the time due to being locked in the animation. As an aside, this is a great fight to use the jade which fully charges your charged strike on a precision parry. I used that in combination with the jade that consumes a Qi charge to boost your charge strike-- makes very quick work of phase 1.
The way Fuxi moves his weapon reminds me of a Salt and Sanctuary boss, one with a big ass axe, he also dragged it in the ground then upwards then smashing down, an attack very big. i dont remenmber name anymore but theres something so cool and badass seeing this kind of attack pattern
@@nobody7204 Nope. Salt and Sanctuary is another game, a bit older than Blasphemous series. And i recalled now the name of the boss i mentioned, is Kraekan Cyclops
The secret to this fight is saving all your piercing arrows for the second phase, when he does his crimson attack stun him with the arrow and then parry the 2 blades, also stun him when nuwa does her snakes, the tricky thing about this fight is keeping an eye on both projectiles and fuxi, thats why you need to stun the big guy
Like with most mutants, returning Fuxi to the Tao is the ethical thing to do . . . And the only way to spare Nuwa would be to get her in a straightjacket, something you likely can't find in New Kunlun.
She's the one that killed herself on the cadaver of her own brother. All of that was due to her and Fuxi interfering with Yi, who was trying to make things right by taking the Sol Seals. I feel sympathetic for what's she going through, but I do not have an once of sadness and regret for her demise.
This game forces you to dominate your enemy attacks, and when you do, the battle sequence is really beautiful; I don't think Ive seen this before in a game. It is really a Kung Fu spectacle.
Yeah, first time I fought them I thought the second phase was just ridiculous. But each projectile she conjures is not random - It depends heavily on Fuxi's attacks, and all outcomes are possible to get through. You have to observe each situation carefully, memorize and apply it in practice. Pretty hard, but super fun once you get it!
Really cool boss. Wish we didn't have to see his face at the end, have him die in a more dignified way, but sometimes brutality has its place in storytelling. A very good game overall
To be fair he was robbed of a dignified death the moment he got his first shots and joined the ranks of the living dead. As Yi said, his corpse had likely been rotting for a loooooong time before we saw him.
Well I am literally bad for reads Chinese name turn into Romanization System, so I was confused about theirs name, but after that I just go to search what’s the actually name of them, welp they’re older brother and younger sister, because the names in Myths actually is. 伏羲 女媧is theirs name in Chinese(Traditional)
to be honest, fuxi and nuwa seems to be the most useless sols among the council...they do literally nothing that could justify them being on the council unlike the other sols other than being nobility. they were tragic as hell but still, what went through eigong's brain that she thought these two would make good sols?
I'm pretty sure Eigong may have found them useful in the sense Nuwa allowed her to test her treatments on Fuxi since he was infected, i think the only person Eigong may have disliked might have been Jiequan.
Actually they are famous actors, I am pretty sure they acted as spokesman. And due to their influence and wealth they could make it sound possible and not like "A bunch of scientists pipe dream" as someone on reddit said.
Iirc the siblings are named after mythological figures of the same name- in some stories they are married but in some stories they're siblings. I think the connotations are refrencing that
In old time story they're sibling and couple. you know, this is normal at old time. by the way, you know who else is sibling couple? Is Yi and Heng, they're couple in old time story too.
This boss is easy to deafeat if you know the way. His pro is his heath is very high and he attack prety fast but his con is he very stupid ( lore). In the first stage you only need to try get in his back side, he will usally not turn his back until he complete his combo so you can just hit him in the back, you just need to parry when he try to jump to you or he use the scratch move. You just need to stay behind his back and hit him to dead . His red attack you can try to unbounded counter it to make him stun but it doesn't matter because that hit is can not hit you if you is very close to him. If you do everything right you can enter stage 2 with no damage taken. And Do not use your piercer arrow, you will need it in stage 2 Ok now stage 2, the plan is like stage 1 stick to behind his back. You can get a lot of free time to just parry and dodge Nuwa attack and when Nuwa stop attack, go hit Fuxi. You will need to be carefull with his red attack because when he charge his red attack Nuwa will summon 2 arrow to attack you. You will need to parry 2 arrow and then dodge or unbounded counter his attack. Both dodge or unbounded counter is not very good because 1. If you dodge the red attack the fire will stay in the floor pretty long and it can make you fight much harder. 2. If you unbounded counter red attack you only have a very small time to do it and if you miss unbounded counter this attack will one shot you. I have a solution to this problem : remember the piercer arrow you save. Yeah when Fuxi charge his red attack you shot him he will stun give you time to hit him and Fuxi combo will reset back to zero. Repeat until Fuxi is deafeat.
@@ВладиславСтельмаков-у8тhonestly, with the way some of the partygoers look, I wouldn't be surprised if some were dead and some were higher than Mt. Everest.
this boss gave me the most trouble mostly the second phase as i struggled to find an opportunity to get an unbounded counter against fuxi's red attack during it, but when i managed to get the timing down he ended up going down eaiser
I hate unbounded counter as a mechanic and never use it, but the weird upside of that is in situations where it's hard to get it off I'm used to all the dodging you have to do! This boss is also giving me a lot of trouble. The last 3 sols before this were all fairly doable.
@@JoaoCarlosSoares-dk9mm a small tip is when you see him start the red attack stop moving and the moment you parry the second dagger immediately start the counter its a tight window but its large enough for it
@@Seisachtheia yeah i feel like this boss is the one that really starts to ask you to use all mechanics to its fullest, even if i personnally disagree with your opinion on the unbounded counter but mostly because of the cool factor it gives ngl.
if you're going for an offensive playstyle rather than a defensive playstyle in this bossfight, use water flow, and trust meo n this one, you do not want full control in the second phase
@@theoneshotfan150 i played hollow knight before nine sols so i have atleast some experience, if you're still stuck on the twins just use jades that correlate with your playstyle frfr
until i saw this video i didnt think it was possible to unbounded counter after the 2 daggers she summons, and then 3 tries pf doing that later i finished the boss after like 20 attempts
If you look up this channel, the first three sols literally just using their machines or lackeys to fight. But the rest of them seem to fight by themselves.
Came looking for a video on this boss fight because I am there right now. I was planning to just stop playing if this boss had a third phase but glad to see that the second is the last. I was convinced there were bugs on this boss for the parry windows because the parry is wonky in this fight but maybe that's just because he's so big some of his attacks hit behind you half the time and I'm not sure if the direction I should be facing is the boss or where his hand lands. Also. I hate the unbounded counter mechanic and never use it so this fight's gonna be a little tougher with that fire on the ground!
The unbounded counter is one of the best mechanics imo, it just takes a while to master it When it comes to boss fight, yeah the second phase is rather annoying - But all patterns are deterministic and not random. Take for example Fuxi's crimson slam in which he sets the ground on fire. Nuwa will fire exactly two arrows against you and Fuxi will slam the ground. The tactic here is to parry the two hits and quickly unbound the slam, it works everytime but you gotta act fast. If you don't feel confident in your counter, you can dash out of the way
Here's a tip for mastering the unbound counter: It is wiser to counter earlier than late, as the counter has a huge forgiving window for parrying hits. When it comes to most crimson attacks, you have enough frames to react and counter properly.
@@KaitoMajima The problem for me is actually Fuxi's normal attacks, I can dodge away from the fire without a problem but for some reason it feels random when my parry will work on his normal attack combo. I've died from full while slamming the parry button and had all the hits go through. I don't really know much about the second phase yet, in my 60 or so deaths so far I've only made it to the second phase about 7 times and again it's the regular combo that kills me within a few seconds. So I guess you will be farming me for views because I'm sure I'll have to come back and watch your video a bunch more times! (and thanks for the tips on the unbound, but I just don't use it, every time I have tried it fails so I just ignore the mechanic now except for opening exploration paths, even on stationary turrets with a fixed rate of fire I usually have to burn a health vial or 2 because I only succeed about 10% of the time so it's actually easier to just ignore it)
The easier way is just to jump and parry, since the airborne parry deflects attacks coming from both sides The harder way is to face Fuxi and parry as soon as he starts scratching the floor
You could also try Unbounded Counter (as seen in the video) since that doesn't care about what direction you're facing either, but most of the time I prefer to dash away from the back swipe after parrying the first hit.
A fun thing to note about Nuwa. If you notice she's wearing funny little shoes and her feet have a characteristic humped shape. It seems she practiced footbinding. A Chinese fashion style that involved breaking the bones and wrapping the foot to force it to be small and "beautiful". This is likely why she has the hoverseat as bound feet are excruciating to walk on though that too was desirable as it showed you could afford not to.

Actually they are famous actors, I am pretty sure they acted as spokesman. And due to their influence and wealth they could make it sound possible and not like "A bunch of scientists pipe dream" as someone on reddit said.
@@130pawel i see, that does make more sense.
Dang, did these siblings romantically love each other? In the credits they were kneeling like it's a Chinese wedding. Some incestuous references here.
Iirc the siblings are named after mythological figures of the same name- in some stories they are married but in some stories they're siblings. I think the connotations are refrencing that
這個遊戲史以神話為原型開發的,原始時代的倫理觀念跟現代不一樣
In old time story they're sibling and couple. you know, this is normal at old time. by the way, you know who else is sibling couple?
Is Yi and Heng, they're couple in old time story too.
@@talklalala1292 yes but not in this game's canon. Yi and Heng were very much inspired on Hou Yi and Chang'e yes but thats about it
i think it might have to do with the link to the original story like the other commenters said and nuwas obsession with keeping fuxi alive
This boss is easy to deafeat if you know the way. His pro is his heath is very high and he attack prety fast but his con is he very stupid ( lore).
In the first stage you only need to try get in his back side, he will usally not turn his back until he complete his combo so you can just hit him in the back, you just need to parry when he try to jump to you or he use the scratch move. You just need to stay behind his back and hit him to dead .
His red attack you can try to unbounded counter it to make him stun but it doesn't matter because that hit is can not hit you if you is very close to him. If you do everything right you can enter stage 2 with no damage taken. And Do not use your piercer arrow, you will need it in stage 2
Ok now stage 2, the plan is like stage 1 stick to behind his back. You can get a lot of free time to just parry and dodge Nuwa attack and when Nuwa stop attack, go hit Fuxi. You will need to be carefull with his red attack because when he charge his red attack Nuwa will summon 2 arrow to attack you. You will need to parry 2 arrow and then dodge or unbounded counter his attack.
Both dodge or unbounded counter is not very good because 1. If you dodge the red attack the fire will stay in the floor pretty long and it can make you fight much harder.
2. If you unbounded counter red attack you only have a very small time to do it and if you miss unbounded counter this attack will one shot you.
I have a solution to this problem : remember the piercer arrow you save. Yeah when Fuxi charge his red attack you shot him he will stun give you time to hit him and Fuxi combo will reset back to zero. Repeat until Fuxi is deafeat.
This is the way
are the people in the backround (in the bossfight) dead?
I would say that they are under very strong drugs
@@ВладиславСтельмаков-у8тhonestly, with the way some of the partygoers look, I wouldn't be surprised if some were dead and some were higher than Mt. Everest.
this boss gave me the most trouble
mostly the second phase as i struggled to find an opportunity to get an unbounded counter against fuxi's red attack during it, but when i managed to get the timing down he ended up going down eaiser
all in all i think this games has some of the best and most fun bosses i've ever fought ngl
I hate unbounded counter as a mechanic and never use it, but the weird upside of that is in situations where it's hard to get it off I'm used to all the dodging you have to do!
This boss is also giving me a lot of trouble. The last 3 sols before this were all fairly doable.
its pretty hard to use the unbounded counter after the two daggers. still didnt get the timing
@@JoaoCarlosSoares-dk9mm a small tip is when you see him start the red attack stop moving and the moment you parry the second dagger immediately start the counter
its a tight window but its large enough for it
@@Seisachtheia yeah i feel like this boss is the one that really starts to ask you to use all mechanics to its fullest,
even if i personnally disagree with your opinion on the unbounded counter but mostly because of the cool factor it gives ngl.
Deadass killed me more than Eigong
This game looks insane. I absolutely have to play this.
Boss Fight: 04:38
That was ACES dude!!! CRAZY~!
if you're going for an offensive playstyle rather than a defensive playstyle in this bossfight, use water flow, and trust meo n this one, you do not want full control in the second phase
I was so desperate I literally pause to switch from WF to FC whenever I land a red parry
@@theoneshotfan150 i played hollow knight before nine sols so i have atleast some experience, if you're still stuck on the twins just use jades that correlate with your playstyle frfr
@@Vylruzer Fr Fr I just beat them tho, so all’s good
@@theoneshotfan150 gj and gl on eigong, literally forced me to leave nine sols behind 💀
@@Vylruzer That's crazy what
until i saw this video i didnt think it was possible to unbounded counter after the 2 daggers she summons, and then 3 tries pf doing that later i finished the boss after like 20 attempts
Well... Of all the fights in this game, this one comes *_IN-SIXTH_* place. (I'm so sorry!🤣🤣🤣🤣)
So does every Sol come with a boss fight?
Yes tho its not always them you fight
If you look up this channel, the first three sols literally just using their machines or lackeys to fight. But the rest of them seem to fight by themselves.
@@vithayartheppalard2417 Jiequan DID say that one's got a foot in the grave (and is pretty much a museum keeper) and the other's a farmer.
Technically you don't fight Kuafu, directly or indirectly.
I felt bad fengs
big sad
Came looking for a video on this boss fight because I am there right now. I was planning to just stop playing if this boss had a third phase but glad to see that the second is the last. I was convinced there were bugs on this boss for the parry windows because the parry is wonky in this fight but maybe that's just because he's so big some of his attacks hit behind you half the time and I'm not sure if the direction I should be facing is the boss or where his hand lands.
Also. I hate the unbounded counter mechanic and never use it so this fight's gonna be a little tougher with that fire on the ground!
The unbounded counter is one of the best mechanics imo, it just takes a while to master it
When it comes to boss fight, yeah the second phase is rather annoying - But all patterns are deterministic and not random.
Take for example Fuxi's crimson slam in which he sets the ground on fire. Nuwa will fire exactly two arrows against you and Fuxi will slam the ground. The tactic here is to parry the two hits and quickly unbound the slam, it works everytime but you gotta act fast. If you don't feel confident in your counter, you can dash out of the way
Here's a tip for mastering the unbound counter:
It is wiser to counter earlier than late, as the counter has a huge forgiving window for parrying hits. When it comes to most crimson attacks, you have enough frames to react and counter properly.
@@KaitoMajima The problem for me is actually Fuxi's normal attacks, I can dodge away from the fire without a problem but for some reason it feels random when my parry will work on his normal attack combo. I've died from full while slamming the parry button and had all the hits go through.
I don't really know much about the second phase yet, in my 60 or so deaths so far I've only made it to the second phase about 7 times and again it's the regular combo that kills me within a few seconds. So I guess you will be farming me for views because I'm sure I'll have to come back and watch your video a bunch more times!
(and thanks for the tips on the unbound, but I just don't use it, every time I have tried it fails so I just ignore the mechanic now except for opening exploration paths, even on stationary turrets with a fixed rate of fire I usually have to burn a health vial or 2 because I only succeed about 10% of the time so it's actually easier to just ignore it)
Does anyone have a video of their play? I went straight to the memory machine thinking it was something to hack…
I don't know why, but this guy's are the hardest boss for me in this game😭, I mean, even final boss wasn't that hard.
How tf are you parrying the two blades and then still doing the unbounded counter like I don’t have enough time it’s bs
You can hold the parry button after the second blade, it will buffer the unbounded counter so you can get it easier
How to parry the crawl back move?
The easier way is just to jump and parry, since the airborne parry deflects attacks coming from both sides
The harder way is to face Fuxi and parry as soon as he starts scratching the floor
You could also try Unbounded Counter (as seen in the video) since that doesn't care about what direction you're facing either, but most of the time I prefer to dash away from the back swipe after parrying the first hit.
the bar
Smash.
Descansen en paz Nuwa y Fuxi los quiero mucho😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤
