Many anticipated the release ofWo Long: Fallen Dynasty,which is why most cleared it eagerly. Its fun combat mechanics and its interesting story kept you pushing toward the end of it, but that doesn’t mean you have no questions left for this largely intricate game. Confusion is normal for a title rich in myth.

When the ancient Han Dynasty meets magic, political machinations, and the undead, there are bound to be question marks floating right above your headphones. You might even find yourself asking about the unsolved parts of the plot, as well as the game’s often strange logic.
10How Is Hong Jing Uninjured After Her Fall?
Anybody with a bit of background in sports would know how to fall properly, but Hong Jing fell from a fortress wall that’s approximately two stories high. Instead of asking how she came out uninjured, you’re most likely curious how she even survived the fall after being harshly shoved with her hands bound.
What’s even more fascinating was that she fought alongside you shortly after, and she displayed her skills as a warrior and a priestess as if she didn’t suffer from any major injury. It’s not usual to find somebody built like her, and even video game physics can make you die of heights.
9Why Couldn’t Lady Zhen Escape With The White Snake On Her Own?
You’ll fight Baishe, a demon with the body of a snake and a woman, upon crawling into the dungeons of your sixth main mission. She’s a deadly and formidable foe, which would’ve been hard to believe prior to her transformation. You can say that she’s just Lady Zhen’s overprotective pet.

Although Baishe is proven to kill anybody who tries to bring harm upon Lady Zhen, it’s also strange that she ended up imprisoned and tied in a dungeon. If her pet snake gives a hell of a boss fight, escaping would’ve been easy even without the help of Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and yourself.
8What Use Do The Stars Have?
It was revealed that even if Lady Zhen could read the stars, it doesn’t necessarily foretell the fates of the people involved. The sky only tells stories, but the outcome appears to be dependent on the actions of the people represented by the stars.
You might not bea believer of astrology, but you’d expect that the stars would prove to be more useful in this game if we have somebody like Lady Zhen, who is kept by Cao Cao as a council. But if her replies are along the lines of knowing only after battles are done, then you’ll be left wondering about the point of it all.
7How Is Demonic Rage Broken?
Many of your comrades have fallen into demonic rage, and after doing so, there was no talking sense out of them. Xiaohun Dun is different in this respect, since he was able to calm down and break free from his rage despite getting shot by a demonic arrow.

He may have lost his eye, but he didn’t lose his life and soul — and that’s a luckier break than most people get in this game. It might have to do with him still being alive, therefore having the consciousness to fight the demonic qi, but that’s just a speculation.
6How Do The Demonic Arrows Work?
It might look silly to read that, but some die from the arrows, and some live even after taking the arrow through their body. It makes the characters' fates unpredictable, but not in a reasonable way since there are those that defy death and return to normal after being shot by the arrow.
It’s strange to see some of the strongest warriors in the game fall because of the arrow, but we’ll never know why they died: is it because of the curse contained in the arrow, or how sharp it is? Maybe it’s best not to think about it.
5Honor Matters More Than Strategy?
Zhang Liao turns to Cao Cao’s side (which is also yours), and you’d expect him to tell her about Lu Bu’s reasons so that it would be easier to hunt him down. However, he doesn’t do that, and he refused to answer Hong Jing’s question regarding her brother.

He reasons that he is a man of honor and cannot tell her Lu Bu’s purpose now. But is there any honor in abandoning Lu Bu’s camp, and turning to Cao Cao to serve under the Imperial Court? Not the most solid reason, and if he told them what Lu Bu was up to, maybe things would’ve turned out differently.
4How Is Elixir Formed?
By the time you see the elixir, it’s in chests, stolen first by Dong Zhuo from another monk who was about to take them. But it’s not just one small item: they come in chest fulls, which might make sense considering the lore describes the elixir to be extracted from the suffering of many.
What doesn’t make sense is how they’re formed into small, marble-like balls that can be safely stored. It isn’t really shown how they turn out that way, or how it’s even taken from the qi of others. At least that spares us from the horrors of knowing.
3Where Did Yu Ji Come From?
We all know that Yu Ji has been tracking the one who bears the Eternal Elixir Field down for ages, and has been seeking immortality the way former kings and leaders have at all costs. What we don’t know much about is how he became the villain we meet in the story.

He’s able to manipulate multiple characters by making them realize the power of their greed, and he does a great job as the antagonist of the story. But we don’t really know what his pursuit for power is all about, and little is revealed in the dialogue.
2Who Are You?
One of the biggest questions in this game is the lack of the main character’s own dialogue. It’s not bad to see the story through other eyes, especially throughcharacters that you fight with side by side, but the lack of replies on your end is a mystery that will never be answered.
Maybe it’s part of your mystery, but your origins are hardly explained. From the start of the game, you are simply a selfless warrior of no notable background, who is implied to be the bearer of the Eternal Elixir Field.
1How Does Anybody Have Time For Booze?
It seems that every time characters loosen up and drink, they end up dying or messing up big time. War and wine do come hand in hand, but does it have to when you’re busy escaping from people who want what you have? Or when you’re on duty like in the case of Zhang Fei?
Dong Zhuo wasn’t the luckiest, but maybe he deserved it for being your stereotypical bad guy who wants nothing but power. But he was just told to run away from enemy forces, and all he does right after is throw a party instead of being on guard. It turns out that a good time can prove to be more than just a threat.
