    ■ New Difficulty, New Boss, New Challenge

    Nightmare Difficulty

    Feeling a bit too easy playing in Hard difficulty? A new difficulty setting “Nightmare” is in the game. The first thing you will notice in the Nightmare is that the enemy is doing higher damage to you. Also, you will get slower when your stamina is running out, therefore you need to use your stamina more carefully. Last but not least, enemy AI and moveset got improved, now you will get relentless attacks and combos from enemies like it never ends.

    Tundou

    New Boss: Tundou is coming up. It is a huge monster with a big mouth which can devour anything in front of it. It possesses the element of Earth and will not hold back it’s power against the player. After you beat Tundou, you can imprison it as a new escort like Taowu.

    Stun Mechanism

    The good news about Ox and Tiger stance, stunning the enemies is a lot easier with those two stances. You can use them to stun the bosses and execute them for massive damage. Also, there is a huge improvement in parry and counter attack, not only parry will recover your stamina drastically but the counter-attack also stuns the enemies very effectively. Needless to say, it will be handy in Nightmare difficulty.

    ■ Start Your Journey Again with Immortal Sword

    In Xuan-Yuan Sword series, the immortal weapon, Xuan-Yuan Sword, is forged by the very first monarch of Ancient China—the Yellow Emperor. Containing the most powerful energy, this sword is held by the legendary heroine, Wenjin, in Xuan-Yuan Sword VII.
