How to play co-op in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Jesse Lennox

Stepping into the dangerous lands of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will be harsh on most players. Early on, the game is especially challenging, even for veterans of the soulslike genre. While it isn't a sequel to either a souls game or the developer's previous Nioh series, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty does build on the base of those games, with the option to call in friends to join you in battle. While not as esoteric to unlock as in some other games in the genre, there are still a few hoops to jump through if you want to play co-op in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

How to start co-op in Wo Long

The two requirements for starting co-op are to beat the first boss, Zhang Liang, and to get at least one item called a Tiger Seal. Beating the first boss is really the main barrier, as you will need to overcome this first difficulty spike solo before being able to rely on friends.

Step 1: After beating Zhang Liang and finding a Tiger Seal via random drops, find a Battle Flag.

Step 2: Rest at the Battle Flag and select Online Lobby.

Step 3: Choose the Co-op option.

Step 4: Choose the Recruit option if you are going to host the game. You will be given a six-digit code to give to your friend that will let them join your session.

Step 5: If you're not hosting, choose Join co-op by password and input the code given to you by your friend hosting the game.

Step 6: If you want to play with anyone, not necessarily a friend, select the Recruit option for random matchmaking.

Unlike games like Elden Ring, Wo Long won't automatically end after beating a level or boss. You can continue playing together as long as you like without having to spend more Tiger Seals.

How to beat Bile Spewers in Helldivers 2

We're not saying any of the Terminids in Helldivers 2 are appealing to look at, but the Bile Spewers are disgusting even in comparison to others like the Charger. They're big, they glow green, and they vomit their deadly acid on you from surprising ranges. These enemy types tend to be easy pickings in other games, but this time around, they're one of the most deadly. Not only can their acid kill you outright if you take a full mouthful, but the Spewer itself isn't a pushover in terms of health. Like any bug, it isn't invincible and there are some tactics we have to share to help you squish this one the next time it shows up.
How to kill Bile Spewers

If a Bile Spewer rears its ugly head during a medium- or higher-difficulty mission on a Terminid planet, there are a few key tactics to remember to come out unscathed. First, and this applies to any creature you fear may projectile vomit in games or real life, is to not be in front of it. Watch for when they lurch back in preparation to spew their bile so you can dodge and dive to the side to avoid the acid.

How to change your ship’s name in Helldivers 2

The most important part of any ship has to be its name. In Helldivers 2, you're fortunate enough to get a vessel all of your own right away, meaning you need to come up with a name on the spot from the available presets. If you're unprepared, you might enter something that you end up wishing you could change, but there isn't an obvious way to edit your choice after it's been made. In other games, you might need to spend some currency like Warbonds or Super Credits to alter something like this, but that's not the case here. Once you know the trick, you can alter your ship's name whenever you wish.
How to change your ship's name

Changing your ship's name takes no time at all in Helldivers 2. Just go over to the Ship Management station on the left side of the bridge. Interact with the terminal and you will be on the Destroyer tab, which has all your ship's stats, by default. On the right, you can see the option to Change Ship Name above the Ship Log. Just press Square here if you're on PlayStation 5 or R on PC to open up the prompt to choose whichever combination of words your heart desires for your defender of Super Earth. Simply apply the changes when you're happy and get back to spreading some Democracy!
