Chapter 468 As we all know, the dancer is the second BOSS
The old thief is a bit of a dog, but he still has some conscience after all.
After a lot of suffering, remember to give the players some comfort.
A Yin happily slid down the stairs, came to the treasure chest and rubbed her hands.
What will be released?
The treasure chest in Sekiro is very precious, and many good things can be found in it, including gourd seeds, Buddhist beads, and Ninja prosthetic hand tools.
In Dark Souls, what surprise rewards will the old thief put in the treasure chest?
Is it a weapon? Is it an upgrade material for elemental bottles? Or some cherished prop?
“Let’s see what the old thief gives you in this first treasure chest!”
Speaking!
I saw A Yin squatting down, pulling on the edge of the treasure box with both hands, and lifting his waist up with all his strength!
“Hi! Lottery draw!!”
Pfft—wow—! !
With the sound of a lottery draw!
Suddenly, the treasure box let out a strange scream!
Immediately afterwards, two long, thin arms stretched out from both sides of the treasure box and grabbed him suddenly!
Then!
Accompanied by the squirming sound of scalp-numbing mucus, the treasure box opened automatically. A row of terrifying fangs suddenly grew in the box, and a long, big tongue wrapped directly around A Yin's neck!
And the next second!
Hangchi—! !
With your head upside down!
A Yin was grabbed by the long skinny arms, and the treasure box was directly stuffed into his mouth. After a few clicks, he was bitten and devoured.
【YOUDEAD】
There was silence in the live broadcast room for five seconds!
Then, a shrill roar echoed through the live broadcast room!
“...I’m going to **** you!!”
A Yin felt like he was going crazy.
This is actually a **** Mimic!
What an ancient yet novel setting!
For RPGs, the setting of trap treasure chests has a long history. As early as the era of the rise of PC games, there were already unscrupulous designers who designed treasure chests as prank traps.
but!
In a wolf game, this is the first time that something as cheap as a Mimic Monster appears!
It seems that this type of game is already tormenting players, and designers of the same type cannot bear to use such a hateful way to make players feel the malice of the world.
And Gu Sheng!
Apparently not so compassionate.
He has always adhered to the concept of "Only God will have mercy on you, and my mission is to send you to see God", fighting wits and courage with the players, and even using vicious methods such as chain tactics to let the players experience This type of game is full of malice!
And now.
The appearance of the Mimic Monster has obviously once again refreshed players' understanding of Gu Sheng's moral bottom line in game design.
After all, wolf games are different from traditional RPGs!
The difficulty of traditional RPGs is generally not abnormal. Coupled with the existence of archives and even quick archives, your trial and error costs can be greatly reduced.
But the wolf game itself is extremely difficult. There is no quick save, and even normal saves will refresh all the mobs along the way.
This also means that the process of running away again is very painful.
Unless you are a very skilled boss, the average player will inevitably encounter some damage while running.
Losing blood means replenishing blood.
Replenishing blood means consumption.
Consumption means reduced fault tolerance.
Reduced fault tolerance means more likely to die.
Death means you have to run again.
Then it becomes an infinite vicious circle.
Are Souls games torture?
The answer is yes.
But how exactly does it appear to be torture?
Is it an extremely difficult BOSS battle?
It is not.
It is true that BOSS battles are difficult. With the defeat of difficult BOSS, players gain a very high sense of satisfaction and achievement.
The real torment of it lies in the inconspicuous little monsters.
Obviously, I would kill the Ghost Punishment Department who were riding tall horses across the battlefield, but they were stabbed to death by two nameless Ashina soldiers just after they went out.
I killed the violent Guda, but he was beaten to death by three dogs.
Frustrations like this are the most torturous.
Even if you kill Ashina Minions or Dogs next time, this frustration will not be relieved.
After all, they are just soldiers.
This sense of humiliation that "the hero drowned in a septic tank" is the core of the torture that is both physically and mentally exhausting.
As for Gu Sheng, the shaping of this aspect of feelings can be called a perfect state.
His moral bottom line in game design is so unfathomable, it’s like standing in the Palace of Source and looking at the aquatic village—
Even though you know very well that the water from the Source Palace flows to the aquatic village, you can never see what Ashina bottom looks like.
The same goes for Gu Sheng’s moral bottom line—
There is, but where exactly it is, people don’t know yet.
‘Even the five-star American General MacArthur commented: Compared with the evil deeds of the old thieves, Li Mei’s Barbecue is like a child’s little prank’
The barrage made me laugh out loud!
‘The most comfortable episode’
‘Hahahahahahahahaha…’
‘It’s too late to explain! Lottery draw! ’
‘Really setting a new limit for human beings’
‘In order to let the players feel the despair better, he even made a Mimic. He really made me cry to death'
‘My blood pressure is already high just by looking at it’
‘3q is 3q. I used to have low blood pressure, but now the high blood pressure is 180. Dr. Gu has a wonderful way of rejuvenating me.’
‘Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha’
‘It’s hard to imagine that this is a level design that a carbon-based humanoid creature can create’
‘…’
…
“Hahaha, tell the boss not to collapse now, the more collapse is yet to come…”
At the same time, Liuliu Live Room.
Because A Yin was released a little later today, and Liuliu played the game as soon as it was released, so relatively speaking, Liuliu's game progress is further ahead.
“But luckily, after defeating the Mimic Monster, I will get a Dark Battle Ax as a gift. It’s still very useful.”
Speaking, Liuliu raised the one-handed battle ax that was dark and deteriorated in his hand, raised the ax with his hand and killed a crossbowman on the roof.
Standing on the high stone platform, Liuliu took a sip from the element bottle and looked down.
The bottom of the stone platform looks like a garden. However, in the garden at this moment, there are no birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, only blood flowing all over the ground.
The corpses of knights in red cloaks lay scattered on the cold stone ground. The spears were criss-crossed like a bamboo forest, and the mottled blood stains gave off a dark red light on the spear tips.
The breath of blood hit his face. Looking at the broken swords, broken halberds, and corpses strewn in the fields, it was not difficult to imagine how tragic a battle had happened here.
咚—咚—咚—
The sound of footsteps sounded slowly in the night.
good.
The garden littered with corpses is not completely silent.
At this moment, a fat knight wearing a blue cloak and silver armor, with a round figure, was slowly patrolling around the fountain dyed red with blood.
Looking carefully, you can see that there is a pair of small wings as big as a palm on the back of this fat knight.
The fantasy and even weird atmosphere made Liuliu's hair stand on end, and at the same time, he felt dumbfounded.
after all-
"This fat brother...is...quite cute? He actually has a pair of small wings..."
As he said that, Liuliu also saw the opportunity, jumped in the air, and hit the fat knight's head with a jump!
Click!
A heavy ax strike!
The fat knight's health instantly dropped by one level, but he was still much stronger than those living zombies!
He is a master!
Although in terms of blood volume, Fat Brother is not considered an elite mini-boss.
But this attribute is far beyond the other miscellaneous soldiers Liuliu encountered along the way.
Even stronger than the Lothric knights she met on the city walls.
Boom—! !
The fat knight who was attacked reacted immediately. Despite his size, he was a flexible fat man.
The fat knight backhanded his halberd, and with a roar, the stone tiles on the garden floor shattered and flew across, and a cracked pit the size of a pot lid immediately appeared on the ground!
“Oh—oh oh yo yo—awesome, awesome, awesome…”
Sixty-six Jiligulu rolled over quickly to dodge.
Although along the way, she has seen a lot of physical damage effects unique to the golden engine.
But when faced with it at this time, it is still unavoidable to be frightened.
After all, the visual impact of this thing is so intuitive that it is difficult for any player to remain calm.
Tumble!
Liuliu dodged sideways and raised his shield.
On the opposite side, the fat knight also made a start gesture again, with the big halberd lying across his side and accumulating power. It seemed to be a sweeping move.
"bring it on!"
The shield fighting method is very useful, Liuliu understands this very well.
The shield in her hand can withstand most attacks, and is much easier to use than the sword in Sekiro.
But the only disadvantage is that holding a shield to defend will consume the energy bar when being attacked, so you must be extra careful not to be an eternal iron bastard, otherwise you will fall into a very fatal paralysis after the energy bar is empty.
According to Liuliu's idea, after catching the fat knight's sweep, she could go up and steal a knife.
Repeat this for a few rounds, and it's almost done. It's almost the same as fighting the Lothric knights. After all, they are all knights!
Hum—! Boring—!
It was too late but not too late, the fat knight made a sweeping sweep, and the huge halberd hit Liuliu!
The deafening golden roar came with the impact, causing Liuliu to be knocked back half a step!
However!
Just when she was about to step forward and chop!
Unexpected circumstances occurred—
I saw that the fat knight didn't stop after a sweeping sweep. Instead, he started spinning like a top!
ah? ? ?
Don’t wait for Liuliu’s reaction!
Boring! Boring! Boring! Boring!
Continuous waves of large windmill attacks are coming towards you!
The energy bar was being emptied one after another, and she was seeing the crisis coming, but at this time, she couldn't put down her shield!
For a time, Liuliu was overwhelmed by the embarrassing situation!
Bang! boom-!
Finally! As the energy bar collapses!
Liuliu was like a kite with its string cut off. He was swung out by the big halberd on the spot and hit the wall with a bang. Half of his health bar disappeared in an instant!
However!
The house leaked and it rained all night!
Before Liuliu could barely get up from the ground and stand still, the next second, he saw the fat knight stretching his hands to both sides of his body, in a very middle-aged posture, as if a beautiful girl was about to transform. Hold your arms and face the sky!
This...what kind of Sailor Moon pose? !
Liuliu felt like his brain was boiling.
The Fat Knight's unattractive, even somewhat funny posture and movements are simply out of proportion to the ridiculously high amount of damage. But it is precisely this sense of fragmentation that makes players feel so strange.
The next moment, golden light beams with white feathers scattered were reflected in Liuliu's eyes.
One after another powerful holy light strikes, like air-to-ground missiles, exploded in the garden!
Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
The solid and ancient bluestone slab was blasted into powder, shattering and flying!
The fountain pool dyed blood red splashed water and blood flowed!
The terrifying visual effects, supplemented by the explosive physical destruction effects, made Liuliu run away with his head in his arms, screaming and laughing in terror:
“Ouch—oops hahahahaha—oh my **** hahahahaha—”
“Ouch—what are you doing—”
Boom—! !
…
【YOUDEAD】
“Oh—I’m shocked! These two red-eyed Luo Qi brothers are so weird! They’re awesome, awesome, awesome…”
Looking at the blood-red characters in front of him, Lao Ju couldn't help but exclaimed and recognized his brother on the spot.
Lao Ju’s wolf game talent is quite remarkable.
Especially after ‘fully understanding’ this game, I deeply understood the essence of this game.
That is "one-on-one" and "turn-based".
Be as cautious when facing the minions as you are when facing the BOSS, and try not to be beaten righteously.
Don't be reckless and fight with swords like a wolf. Control your energy bar to defend and counterattack. It is best to stab around the back. This is the best solution to the battle.
Facts have also proved that Lao Ju’s understanding of the game is correct.
After killing the fat brother, he went all the way down the steps, turned left and met the two red-eyed Luo Qi brothers.
It was too bitter, one Luo Qi with a spear, another Luo Qi with a straight sword, the big shield slammed and stabbed continuously, and a set of silky small combos sent Lao Ju directly back to the bonfire.
“Goodbye, mother.”
After all the hard work, Lao Ju ran back again. This time, Lao Ju said nothing and walked to the left. She didn't even want to take a look, and turned to the right.
Going down the steps, two undead spearmen holding large shields became an obstacle.
Although compared to ordinary soldiers, the two spear brothers are quite powerful.
But it can still be defeated.
Speaking, after killing the two spear brothers, Lao Ju went down the steps.
Soon, a huge city gate appeared in front of him—
However, I saw that this giant gate was extremely wide and thick, and it was probably the main city gate of Lothric.
The door was covered with branches and branches, as if it had not been opened for a long time, and the vines on it were intricately tangled.
The vitality of the vines is so strong that even the huge city gate has a gap opened by the vines.
“A dead end?”
I pushed the city gate hard, but it couldn't be opened at all.
Lao Ju couldn't help but feel a little confused.
At this time.
Magnificent and gloomy chanting background music slowly sounded.
With a biting cold wind coming from behind!
Lao Ju could not help but tremble and looked back!
——
See you!
The way he came was actually blocked by a dense fog.
And accompanied by the howling of the biting cold wind!
A monster as huge as a semi-truck slowly climbed out of the fog door.
It was dressed in thick, cold and frosty armor and stood on all fours, pacing slowly like a huge frost demon dog. There was a bit of cold air from its mouth, and there were some dry branches crisscrossing its body.
A huge war hammer was clenched in its hand, and the terrifying thorn-ball hammer head was filled with cold air.
Immediately afterwards, the frost giant slowly walked into the field with heavy steps, and slammed the warhammer into the ground!
Roar—
With a deafening roar!
In Laoju's UI, a long health bar was also revealed!
【Bordeaux in the Cold Valley】
“Holy shit!!”
Lao Ju was shocked:
“BOSS! I actually walked to the BOSS room and came to the BOSS room!!”
Ferocious!
Different from a wolf.
In Dark Souls, old thieves seem to be particularly fond of these huge bosses.
Whether it is a regular BOSS like Gouda or Bordeaux, or even an elite small BOSS like Bugatti Veyron, they are all very large.
Such a design also maximizes the graphics performance and physical destruction advantages of the golden engine!
Cheer up!
Lao Ju raised his shield and stood still to face the enemy!
With a roar!
Hang—! !
I saw the ice dog Bordeaux rushing towards me. The cold air filled the air wherever he went, with a fierce momentum and two heavy blows from the hammer!
嗵-嗵——!
Lao Ju responded calmly to the huge impact. After raising his shield to block Ice Dog's two heavy hammers, he rolled backwards and landed under Ice Dog's huge body!
clever.
From the battle with Mr. Guda in the trial version, Lao Ju has already figured out how to fight against the huge BOSS.
Drilling in the crotch and around the back, blocking the BOSS and attacking the blind spot is definitely the best choice to steal output.
“Eat my pedicure combat skills!”
Lao Ju slashed continuously while rolling:
"To fight this kind of BOSS, you have to live on your crotch and be a person on your crotch. Look at me... Hey, wait, wait a minute, brother! Let me drink some blood first!"
“…Okay! Come! Fight again!”
While talking, Lao Ju was fighting with the ice dog.
Compared to Teacher Guda, Ice Dog has a stronger desire to attack and attacks more frequently.
A bit like Mr. Guda in the second stage of human pus form, his movements are unorganized and very manic.
Generally speaking, people are afraid of such manic opponents.
Because this mania represents uncertainty and instability.
As the saying goes, beat the old master to death with random punches.
The more this kind of attack mode is like that of a mad dog, it is more likely to cause players to panic compared to the one-dimensional moves made by Mr. Guda in the first stage.
The ice dog became more and more violent after hitting the floor several times!
I saw it jump back!
Boom!
The huge body hit the ground, and cold air filled the gaping mouth.
Then, the ice dog's body began to accumulate strength backwards.
“Oh—! Wait wait wait!!”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the experienced Lao Ju quickly rolled over!
And just at the moment he rolled out!
Rumble, rumble—! !
The ice dog suddenly launched a charge!
The huge body almost hit Lao Ju's side!
The armor sparked a long line of sparks on the cold stone tile floor!
Here, Lao Ju has just gotten up and hasn’t even had time to take a breath!
Rumble, rumble—! !
The ice dog hits again!
Three trips in a row! The momentum is majestic! Extremely fierce!
What is even more shocking is that in the first encounter, Lao Ju actually perfectly dodged and dodged all three dog carts!
‘OHHHHHHH—’
‘The chairman is awesome! ’
‘Tough man, Chairman! ’
‘Is it so strong? ’
'broken! This time the chairman seems to really understand the game completely! ’
‘It’s so handsome, these three rolls in a row’
‘It even feels like I’ve seen it for the first time, the BOSS only has one-third of its health left’
‘But the chairman only has half of his health left, so it’s a bit difficult...'
‘If you encounter trouble, don’t act recklessly! ’
‘Come on, Chairman! ’
‘…’
The barrage was filled with shouts of cheers.
And Lao Ju seems to have found the perfect rhythm, becoming more and more courageous as she fights!
After dodging the dog cart one after another, he quickly rushed towards the ice dog!
He knows that he must not stay away from the BOSS out of caution at this time, otherwise the longer it takes, the more opportunities the BOSS will have to counterattack, and the lower his fault tolerance rate will be!
"If you encounter trouble, don't act recklessly! Rush—!!"
Accompanied by Lao Ju’s fearless charge!
Seeing the ice dog's mouth, the biting cold air started to build up!
And the next second!
Hush—! !
The breath of frost instantly enveloped Lao Ju's body!
The cold snowflakes and sharp ice particles were like piercing steel knives, and the head cover suppressed him severely!
The status bar of [Freeze] is also rapidly accumulating in the blizzard-like breath!
At the same time, Lao Ju also swung the battle ax in his hand, slashing the ice dog's thigh three times in a row!
Cha—Cha—Cha—!
Blood spurts!
Lao Ju's movement speed slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the status bar was about to accumulate as soon as he saw it!
And the ice dog’s blood volume is only a little bit left!
Next second!
Click—pop—! !
Lao Ju felt her whole body stiffen, and she flew backwards. She crashed to the ground, and the frozen ice shell on her body suddenly shattered and exploded. Her blood volume was almost completely black, leaving only her **** skin!
The ice dog on the opposite side let out a scream, and his entire body was shrouded in thick ice mist, turning into a cloud of snow smoke flying in the sky!
Complete the level in one life!
Hum—!
The audience in the live broadcast room cheered instantly!
‘OHHHHHHH—’
‘Macho man! ’
‘The chairman is awesome! ’
‘As we all know, Lao Ju can’t beat the red-eyed Luo Qi, so Luo Qi>Ice Dog’
‘Also known to all, Lao Ju was surrounded and killed twice by three dogs outside the sacrificial site, so three dogs > Luo Qi’
‘So three dogs＞Luoqi＞Bordeaux’
‘Is King Gouxin joking with you? ’
‘Shameful BOSS’
‘The Chairman’s last HP, there is no red bar visible anymore’
‘Don’t ask, if you ask you will be locked’
‘God’s **** locked’
‘I was shocked that I didn’t recognize my brother...’
‘…’
There was great joy!
Next, according to the regular plot, players should go back all the way along the steps, kill the two difficult red-eyed Luoqi brothers, enter the chapel, find an old woman offering sacrifices to receive the small ring flag, and then push it away The vine-covered city gate leaves the high walls of Lothric.
So in theory, Bordeaux is the first BOSS of Dark Souls. After defeating it, it basically means that the first area strategy is completed.
Next, in the Undead Settlement, players will face the second BOSS of this game, the Cursed Tree.
All the above developments are theoretically normal.
But in fact, as we all know, the dancer is the second BOSS in this game...
