Okay, here’s my shot at a blog post in that style, about “wuthering waves shadows of the past”:
Alright, so I jumped into this “Shadows of the Past” thing in Wuthering Waves, figuring it’d be a quick little diversion. Boy, was I wrong. It turned into a whole thing.
First, I started up the quest, not really paying attention to the dialogue, just clicking through to get to the action. Big mistake. Turns out, there’s some actual story here, and if you skip it, you’ll be totally lost later on. So, pro tip: actually read the stuff.
Then came the initial fights. No * level is quite high and I mashed some buttons, and those early enemies went down like chumps. I was feeling pretty good about myself, thinking, “This is gonna be a breeze.”
The mechanism is kind of troublesome. I spend almost twenty mintues to figure out how to correctly place every *’s really a hard work.
But then… the real challenges started. I hit a wall, hard. Suddenly, the enemies were way tougher, and there were these annoying puzzles mixed in. I’m not the biggest fan of puzzles in my action games, okay? I just wanna punch things!
- Died.A lot. Like, more times than I want to admit. Those shadow monsters? Not messing around.
- Switched up my team.I realized my usual go-to crew wasn’t cutting it. Had to experiment with different Resonators and their skills to find a combo that worked.
- Grinded a bit. Yeah, I had to go back and level up some characters and weapons. Wasn’t thrilled about it, but it had to be done.
- Cursed the puzzle designers. Seriously, some of those mirror puzzles were just… ugh. So fiddly!I must admit that some of the puzzles made me feel like I was playing a totally different game.
What I’ve done
Finally, after a lot of trial and error, and maybe a little bit of rage-quitting, I managed to clear all the challenges. The feeling of finally beating that last boss? Amazing.
The rewards, honestly, weren’t that amazing for the amount of effort I put in. But hey, the sense of accomplishment was pretty good. Plus, I can now say I conquered the “Shadows of the Past.” Would I do it again? Probably not anytime soon. But it definitely taught me to pay more attention to team composition and, you know, actually read the quest details.
