It’s different from the previous complaints all over the internet that “Dark Souls” is too difficult.
In the few days since the game was launched, the first batch of players who stayed in the game have completely changed their impression of "Dark Souls".
At the same time, with this first batch of old players as pioneers, the players behind are not confused.
They can also get answers to some of the most basic content in the game.
Such as the Crystal Lizard in the Ashes Cemetery. After many new players challenge death once, they can get some strategies from old players through search engines and know that this thing is not required to challenge.
Including the advice on the ground in the game, there are also many enthusiastic old players giving tips, which also saves many new players a lot of hardship.
Including the first Mimic in the attic, new players who later enter the world of Dark Souls can be eaten by Mimics. Basically, there are only two factors.
The first is to adhere to the most authentic gaming experience, without looking at any strategies or level analysis, including completely distrusting the advice left by veteran players in the game.
The second type is that you have a mysterious sense of confidence in yourself, and you insist on trying it out to see how powerful this Mimic is, and only learn to walk around it honestly after being eaten once.
After accepting the difficulty setting of "Dark Soul", the main topic of players soon changed from simple difficulty to game content.
For example, there are various strategies, some props hidden in every corner of the map, shortcuts and ways to fight BOSS and mobs, including which character to open up the wasteland, and what priority should be given to increasing blood volume when upgrading.
These topics have gradually become the mainstream content discussed by Black Soul players.
As for some hot topics on the Internet, they are still fermenting, but they have begun to slowly cool down.
But what surprised many players was that they actually got feedback from Chen Xu on the topic that many players had previously asked Chen Xu to live broadcast to see him suffer.
In the past, many players responded to Aite, but they basically never thought that Chen Xu would actually respond. They were just joining in the fun and fun.
And now all I can say is that it is beyond everyone’s expectations.
An official blog message was posted on Chen Xu’s official blog, and the official blog account of Nebula Games also reposted it.
'Many players want to watch me suffer, but there is no need to live stream it, because if it is broadcast live, it may spoil some game content prematurely. Dark Souls is a game worthy of everyone’s careful taste, so I specially recorded a video of the process from the Ashes Graveyard to the High Wall of Lothrik, as a reference for newbies who are still suffering. '
Below the text message, there is also a link to the video.
After this news was sent out, many players who followed the official blogs of Chen Xu and Nebula Games immediately became excited.
Although it wasn't live broadcast as they hoped, it would be nice to have a video.
The High Wall of Lothric is basically familiar to the first batch of players who entered "Dark Souls".
But the key point is that this is a video of Chen Xu himself playing, so many players are still curious.
How did Chen Xu play in this video, and is this really the official guide of the producer? Want to give a reference to suffering newbies
Curious players clicked on this video one after another.
After clicking on the video, many people subconsciously glanced at the time. The video was not long but not short, about ten minutes.
At the beginning of the video, many people already recognized the location in front of them.
That is the room opposite the Ice Dog BOSS that players call him.
According to the normal game flow, after killing the ice dog, you will face a cliff, but you must have a key prop here to enter the next level.
The props can only be obtained by talking to an old woman in the room opposite the ice dog.
But if you kill the old woman, the opponent will drop a basin.
At this time, take the dropped basin and go to the sculpture on the wall of the room, which will directly trigger a BOSS battle with the dancer named Lenglie Valley.
There was a bright red bloodstain on the floor of the room, announcing how many ignorant players had been tortured and killed here.
Players who trigger this BOSS battle without knowing it and without actively attacking the enemy basically use the left-click dialogue method.
Clicking and clicking accidentally ended the conversation and struck the old woman with a knife. This also caused many players to quit using the mouse for dialogue and instead use the keyboard for dialogue.
At the same time, the dancer was also taught by countless players who joked that this was the second BOSS in "Dark Souls".
Hmm... Ashes Guda doesn't count, after all, it's just a trial member.
'Teaching the dancer to kill instantly with one knife! 'The video paused while a line of subtitles appeared in the center.
All players were shocked instantly.
"Holy crap! The dancer kills the teacher with one strike? So fierce!"
"Isn't it about teaching newbies?"
I saw that the character in the video was a useless person. He didn't have any clothes on, and he was holding chicken legs in both hands.
Many players who saw this were full of doubts.
According to the current strategy given by the Internet bosses, the dancer in Lenglie Valley is obviously a BOSS that can only be fought in the later stage, because the damage caused by weapons that have not been strengthened in the early stage is really embarrassing.
Although as long as you don't make mistakes, you can still grind to death without getting hurt, but the difficulty is really too great.
Is there any big secret in this posture now?
The scene in the video was quickly edited, skipping the middle plot, and went directly to the battle scene of the dancers.
The next moment, the dancer, who was like a phantom, came to the side of the game character in an instant, and then she raised her knife and dropped her health bar, which was instantly cleared.
Well...the useless person's health bar is cleared.
The first batch of players who watched the video were stunned before reacting.
'Damn it, I took off my pants and this is what happened! '
'I want to say something, but I can't say anything, because it fits the title perfectly! '
'This is really a blow! '
'Co-authored, this is a one-kill-instant instruction? Don’t brag about it, I’m fine with it! '
'Kill the dancer instantly with one knife? Isn’t this just a matter of having hands? '
There are more and more comments on videos that can be seen with the naked eye.
While the players were laughing, they also felt friendly unknowingly.
After all, how many times have they died like this in the game
Soon the happy players were attracted by the video content behind.
In the game, a knight appears in the Ashes Cemetery.
There are still a lot of guides for "Dark Soul" online. Among them, the profession that is most suitable for new players to start a wasteland is basically considered to be the knight.
Because it comes with a shield, sword and armor, the fault tolerance is higher than that of other professions, of course, if it is only for fighting Ashes Guda.
Then a spellcaster with a shorter raising hand for casting spells will be a better choice.
But when it comes to the high wall of Lothric and the map behind it, the knight is more comfortable.
I saw the knight in the video pulling out the spiral sword from Ash Guda's chest and officially entering the battle.
Facing Guda's attack, the player in the game actually held up his shield and resisted the attack. Although his energy bar dropped a lot, his health remained unchanged.
Then he seizes the distance between Guda's attacks and rolls directly behind him to widen the distance and slowly restore his energy bar.
Then he took the time to touch the knife. After touching it, he didn't care whether Guda's movements were still swaying or not, he just raised the shield anyway.
Then the video entered fast-forward mode, and many players watching were shocked.
Because there is no operation at all, and the only thing you need to pay attention to is the energy bar, don't raise the shield stupidly and brainlessly.
After the BOSS finishes attacking, go forward and sneak a knife back to continue raising the shield.
Many players who watched the video were shocked.
Because this is too cowardly and obscene!
As for shields, most players basically use them for emergencies or as shield counterattacks.
But like in the video, many players have never done this before.
This is simply turning real-time combat into a turn-based one!
When it comes to the second stage of Ash Guda, the black flame pot as a funerary object comes in handy.
It was a very easy journey to the Fire Sacrifice and then to the Lothric Wall.
When facing the Knights of Lothric, many players also wanted to see how to deal with it in the video.
After all, this knight has the unique skill of shield strike.
But in the video, it is seen that after the undead in the game attracted the hatred of the knight, he waited for him to come out of the room and rolled away.
Along the way, we arrived at Ice Dog's room without any danger, just like we did with Ashes Guda before.
In the first stage, attack the testicles, and in the second stage, raise your shield to guard against the ice dog's bad breath attack and rolling wheels.
Then just grind it slowly.
The feeling the whole process gives people is just one word: stable!
This also shocked all the players watching.
It seems that if you look at it this way, this game is really simple!
There is no such thing as an operation that makes them feel that their brains are good but their hands are not.
The whole process was done with a shield raised and caution.
Although it feels a little suffocating, it works!
After this video came out, it opened a skylight for many novice players.
It turns out that this game doesn’t necessarily require frontal skills.
He could totally be a despicable immortal.
The shield in the left hand and the sword in the right hand add all the points of physical strength and durability.
Just be able to roll while wearing a suit of armor.
The other points will increase as long as you can afford the shield.
When fighting, the shield is my home. As long as the energy is not empty, the shield will not be put down.
When facing monsters, restrain your thoughts of rebellion and don't let yourself show off.
There are some players who bought the game and found out that they couldn't even beat Ash Guda.
Seeing this scene, my heart became active again, and I silently installed the uninstalled games one by one.
There are also some players who have not bought it. Players who want to play but are hesitant because they are afraid that the difficulty is too high silently opened the Nebula gaming platform after watching this video.
Then I looked at the soon-to-expiry coupons in the inventory, and the video from just now came to mind again.
As if the straw that broke the camel's back, these players silently clicked on the purchase page of "Dark Soul" and chose to place an order and pay.
Then download and install the game and plunge into the world of Dark Souls.
The knight starts the game by hiding behind his shield.
Step by step, make steady progress.
Soon these players discovered that this trick seemed to be really useful!
Most of the monsters in Ash Guda and Lothrik's high wall basically don't pose much of a threat. Some of the ones that can't be defeated can just be bypassed.
Although they are very timid, the continuous progress and the defeated monsters one by one also give these players a sense of accomplishment.
Suddenly, many players seemed to experience the joy that "Dark Soul" brought them.
The whole forum has become very happy.
Many players are also smiling because there is such a routine suitable for novice players behind the high difficulty!
Sure enough, is this Mr. Chen’s love
… … …
There is an atmosphere of joy among online players.
Inside the Nebula game.
A break from work.
A group of people are also playing the game "Dark Souls".
"Don't say it's much easier to pass the level this way! But it also feels like there's less of a challenge!" Ruan Ningxue, sitting in front of the computer, said with a smile as she looked at the BOSS she had defeated.
"Yes!" Yang Xin also nodded.
"Less of a challenge? Overthinking!"
After hearing what the two said, Chen Xu, who was looking at the relevant data next to him, smiled slightly, and Qin Yi also pricked up his ears.
The shield-raising style is indeed the most suitable for novice players and is the most brainless style.
But do you really think that if you raise your shield, you won't be abused
"Why do you think it's so easy for players to defeat Ember Guda and Lothrik High Wall?" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"Because people in the past planted trees and people in the future can enjoy the shade! At present, players are familiar with the monsters in Ash Guda and Lothrik High Wall. In addition, they have my video as a reference, and the map scene of High Wall is not the same. Complex.”
"But when we encounter unfamiliar maps, monsters and BOSS later, hehe..." Chen Xu smiled meaningfully.
Everyone trembled when they heard Chen Xu's hehe.
Especially Qin Yi, thinking about the subsequent level map design, as well as the monster's numerical value and action design, made him swallow silently.
