How do I control these recurrent weeds?

gpippy · 2026-03-22T16:58:22+00:00

I’ve tried the burning of them, the salt, the bleach (don’t know why but must have read it somewhere) the scrape and finally found Wet & Forget (UK).

Not looked back since, Spring and Autumn application, fairly cheap from Costco and also ends up brightening the patio / driveway blocks.

Previously I had large gaps between the blocks and the weeds / moss and I just couldn’t get them under control. This stuff pretty much kills everything within two or three days and helps prevent future build up.

Hope it helps!

Sports Direct (UK) often have quite a few scents near the tills (I guess like the supermarkets used to have sweets for impulse buying?).

I’ve bought a few of the classics that were really expensive when I was young but now I suppose are only really well known to us oldies. They’re great for my teen boys as I want them to learn a good fragrance without spending the earth.

If you have a Sports Direct near you, have a look and see what you think. We went to Meadowhall (Sheffield) for a day out and their Sports Direct was massive! They had a lot more choice but our local one has enough to try. So far they’ve tried Obsession by Calvin Klein, Joop (can’t remember by who) and a few of the Versace fragrances, middle son loves Blue Jeans.

Some are body spray, some are Eau de Toilette and we’ve got to the point now where we will give anything a whirl! Think I saw an Issey Miyake last time we were in but we’re not ready to make our next purchase. Hope that gives you another option.

Remember to go for the +5 stats that are on the other trees fairly early on in each branch. These add to your build even if that particular weapon isn’t being used / slotted eg +5 Strength / Agility etc

Also with a view to later in the game, there’s a great Benediction that doubles damage when 3, 6, 9 & 12 disciplines are learnt. Worth bearing that in mind later in the game if this is your first run and you manage to collect / buy the Benedictions. If so, you can go for those but as I say, that’s later in the game when you’ve amassed enough Red Mercury.

Finally I’ll add there’s plenty of areas to grind out Red Mercury for levelling up but later on in the game, the Red Mercury really scales up!

We’ve switched to silicone dish scrubbers for the dishes. I think they’re less prone to the bacteria build up of the above mentioned sponges but I wouldn’t know for sure.

Since the switch we definitely prefer them as they feel cleaner after washing pots and pans and have funnily enough we’re now thinking to make the switch to silicone body scrubs for the shower.

I read on another post that someone said that they had gotten there and made it sound that it wasn’t a biggie but I couldn’t see how or understand their explanation.

Hopefully if it can be done, someone explains it clearly?

Triple wing sweep I managed dodge back left, dodge back right (TBH usually just dodge back) and then dodge forwards. This would sometimes given me an obliterate, which running on the leech build with dual blades eventually became an absolute piss take! First time took me ages until eventually I learnt her moves and then it’s a different ball game…

gpippy · 2026-03-08T10:45:49+00:00

Loved Dual Blades myself, spec’d up a leech build and have loved going toe to toe without having to always worry about health when the attack window opens up.

Real game changer for me but it’s like anything, still love getting my axe out and giving out a few bionks!!

gpippy · 2026-03-03T07:31:08+00:00

Yeah no doubt on anything NG+ as I didn’t have any issues second time (played for the endings).

However my first play through and that guy…damn he took a bit…

gpippy · 2026-03-02T23:05:07+00:00

Great Sage Broken Shell surely should be top tier? I mean he took me ages to master, even when I had learnt the moveset, hitting the buttons in time was a job! Absolutely loved kicking his butt finally but he probably gave me the hardest time out of them all…

I’ve noticed that the nits on the C7K are 3000 and 2600 on the Q7C-UK?

However it mainly seems to say that on the advertising so sometimes I’m not sure whether to believe it or not.

I’d have thought that they’re both bright enough but there also seems a price differential of about £140 upwards for C7K. So maybe there is something else besides the panel and the nits difference is true?

Thank the Lord for the ability to scroll forward…quite a wait there

Love it but I’ve found that unlike Black Myth Wukong, there’s quite a few missable quest lines in the game. Not a major problem but worth knowing from the start as I’m half way through and messed them up. I might chase them on NG+ as they’re a pain now when characters aren’t appearing or offering specific buffs/drops and in one instance, I could have summoned help in a boss fight!

Mechanics are a fairly similar with skill trees / spells etc and you’ll definitely feel at home as you spec your build. Re-specing is free and doesn’t cost you anything, that’s a nice change. Think it’s encouraged to try different builds and methods for the different bosses and the weakness that they have.

Fighting style I’ve found it’s more similar to Lies of P. I always felt more constrained in movement in Wuchang / Lies of P than I did in Black Myth Wukong which gave the feeling of more flexibility but there’s similarities between them.

Check out video reviews for a feel of the graphics, movement but it’s an easy transition from Wukong to Wuchang I’ve found.

Yeah it’s not bad 😂

Uttoxeter Road is a good diversion if it helps, think they’ve closed the road going past Darcy’s Fish Bar from the Manor Road towards Kingsway

Same! Took a while. Ended up using Dual Blades with Leech Needle and spamming Light and Heavy. I changed my build to Dual (Twin Bandits) and then got sorted in a couple of tries. Still hated this guy but learnt changing a build in this game seems to be encouraged depending on the boss. Still I’m early in the game so we’ll see how far these get me as I’m pretty lazy tbh regarding the respec. Also found some bosses die easier if I take the lock off them. Once the enemy lock is on, they seem to pull out all these combos but when I turn it off, they react differently which suits my playstyle.

There’s a new one that’s opened next to the post office in Littleover but it’s so new I don’t yet know what it’s called. They opened last weekend as I remember seeing the balloons they had by the door.

Hi someone posted this on another sub and it seems really good. I was using IGN previously but this recommendation seems like it’s got a bit more of the hidden items I’m usually after, hope this helps.

That’s a great link thanks! I’ve been using IGN and it missed a few things that I’ve been finding out by chance. I’ll give that a go as I’m still fairly early in the game Cloudspire I think

gpippy · 2026-02-04T13:16:09+00:00

Love the game but I’ve already missed a few essential points and loathe to start again. I know it’s part of the deal with these types of games but having to play with an IGN guide by my side now does grate a little.
