Chapter 638: Original Sin Condensation

So far, they have killed eight bosses, Overseer Godric No. 1, Mobile Fortress Bruneton No. 2, Demon Carapace Syndicate No. 3, Enraged Agnon No. 4, Astral Guardian Ives No. 5, Human-Faced Demon Magut No. 6, Warden Stanwick No. 7, and Boss No. 8 Tainted Beast Soul.

In the course of this month, after the other guilds killed the angry Agnon, the fourth boss, Xia Chiyu also released their fourth strategy as previously agreed. But in fact, it was only a week since they packed their bags and left Xitai City to participate in the competition, and during this time, there was still no second guild that killed the fifth boss, Ives.

And the No. 4 BOSS, with the help of Xia Chiyu's strategy, there were seven or eight guilds that killed the No. 4 BOSS in just one week. Xia Chiyu's move to release the strategy has brought him an excellent reputation on major forums, and this time he came back to visit the forum, and there are many people following the post, congratulating them on qualifying for the first place in the group stage in this competition.

But some people like it, and some people hate it, and there are still fans of other teams who spray them brainlessly, Xia Chiyu has learned to ignore these people.

Therefore, tonight, Xia Chiyu returned to Castlevania with Chen Feng and others.

As the boss advances, they also go higher and higher in Castlevania, and the most apex position, which is the tower where the Protoss held Sira, is now the location of the final boss of the dungeon, Sira. The mobs in front of the ninth boss have not been cleaned up, and Xia Chiyu is moving forward with everyone while fighting the mobs.

The mobs in Castlevania are constantly changing as the boss advances, and the first to third bosses are all humanoid mobs such as demon brute soldiers and demon mages, and from the fourth boss onwards, they have become creatures that have appeared under the underground rock city of Ezes, and then after the sixth boss human-faced demon Magut, the mobs have become monsters in the pit of the abyss.

There are not only hideous-looking human-faced demons, but also all kinds of strange creatures.

Although these mobs are not too difficult, they are very distinctive, and they are not brainless to kill, and require a certain amount of skill. And after killing the tainted beast soul, the monster's style changed again, from those hideous-looking underground creatures to blackened gods. Of course, these gods are all "man-made" creatures of Sira, and they are all failed creations.

And the mobs in front of the ninth boss are divided into seven kinds in total, with three as a group of any combination, which are "color gamut", "gluttony", "anger", "arrogance", "greed", "jealousy" and "laziness".

Each mob has different abilities and a different way to kill them, and only a certain way can they be killed, otherwise they will not be able to deal damage. The Gamut's ability is Enchantment, which engulfs a specific player into an enemy target, and the player can attack it, doubling the damage of the enchanted target and increasing HP tenfold.

There is no way to disarm this skill other than killing gamut mobs, and if the enchanted player is killed by another player, the player will actually be killed, i.e., enter the death state in the dungeon, and cannot continue in that fight. The color gamut will charm another player again, so you can't just attack those who are charmed.

Gamut mobs do not eat any physical damage and are only killed by magic damage.

Gluttony,This kind of mob will release the "gluttony" skill,Devour a part of the player's health and attributes,And get a part of the player's skills,Of course, you will only get the player's system skills instead of custom skills,But the attributes of gluttony and devouring will increase tenfold,So the damage caused by the gluttonous mob skill is very terrible。

Gluttonous mobs, on the other hand, only take damage from physical attacks and do not eat any magic skills.

The other five mobs also have their own characteristics, each of which needs to be killed in a specific way. For example, only eating ranged attacks, melee attacks will reflect damage, or vice versa, there are also mobs that only eat a certain type of elemental damage.

There are even damage that can only be taken in a deceleration state, and any damage received at ordinary times will be reduced by ninety percent, in short, the seven monsters have their own characteristics, which is very interesting, which makes Xia Chiyu very satisfied with the setting of this part of the monsters.

And these mobs have basically revealed who the next boss they are about to face is.

Original Sin Aggregate. Xia Chiyu: The monster they once encountered under the underground rock city of Izyes.

However, what Xia Chiyu didn't know was that in fact, the original sin condensation had also appeared in the alliance missions of the other three races, and in chronological order, the first one should have appeared in the abyss pit of the dwarf race. In other words, Xia Chiyu's task should be a trigger condition, and after it is triggered, the original sin condensation will appear in the alliance missions of several other races.

When they cleaned up the various combinations of mobs they encountered on the way, they finally came to the ninth boss.

As Xia Chiyu expected, the ninth boss they faced was the original sin condensation, but it was not complete, to be precise, it was part of the original sin condensation, and the name of the ninth boss was "Sin Apostle Abene".

The creature has the appearance of an original sin condensate, a humanoid creature made of a black mist, but it does not actually take a concrete form. Xia Chiyu returned to the Astral Library to check this guy's information, and found that Sira had used the original sin condensation as a material to carry out research, and divided it into two parts, namely the ninth and tenth bosses.

Of course, it's not accurate to say that it's nine and ten, because which boss to fight next is actually up to the player's choice, and the nine to twelfth bosses are exactly the same order of choice, and the player can choose any of them to open up the wasteland, but only if all four bosses are killed, the door to the final heavenly staircase where Siela is located will be opened.

The ninth boss, the apostle of sin, Abeyne, is part of the condensation of original sin, gathering the seven original sins of people.

Basically, it can be seen as an enhanced version of the previous seven mobs, some like the angry Agnon, the boss, because the boss system is too complex, so the front mobs are the practice of killing the boss, so that players are familiar with the way to kill.

And another doppelganger of the original sin condensation, the tenth boss Pain Apostle Urgat.

Although these four bosses can be challenged in any order, this does not mean that the difficulty of these bosses is the same. According to the boss difficulty evaluation given by the White Crane Company, the Apostle of Sin Abene is the easiest of the four, so they chose this boss to open up the wasteland.

In terms of difficulty, the second is the eleventh boss, the third is the twelfth boss, but the ninth boss, that is, the painful apostle Urgat, is the most difficult of the four bosses.

"Okay, let's fight first, let's see the boss skills." Xia Chiyu said with a smile, "Anyway, Gu Qinyan's three guys are not here today, let's fight casually, what stage can be played, as long as we understand the skills and combat mode of the boss." Tomorrow, let's officially open up this boss again and strive to kill it next week. ”

And in fact, this boss is easy to figure out, because its mode is the same as the previous No. 4 boss angry Agnon, although it is complicated, but there are previous monsters to practice on behalf of you, so you can understand the principle after a few fights.

However, understanding is understanding, and fighting is another matter. This boss is still very difficult, just like those previous mobs, the apostle of sin Abene has the special effect of original sin, the effect is exactly the same, and it has not been strengthened.

However, the attributes of this boss change randomly and are divided into phases. There is a progress bar above the boss's head, which is used to mark the stage time of the boss and the original sin attribute of the boss.

Every once in a while, the boss's attributes will be switched, and the player will have to change their playing style and response. In addition, this is only the simplest first stage, for every 25% decrease in the boss's health, the boss will enter the next stage, and the original sin effect on the body will increase by one more, that is, there are multiple effects at the same time.

However, there will be no combination of two effects that make the boss completely immune to damage during this period.

For example, bosses will never have a combination of Gluttony and Gamut, as they are immune to both physical and magical attacks. In other words, there is always a way for the player to deal damage to it, just with a higher difficulty.

According to this stage, this boss will have up to four original sin attributes at the same time.

"Wow, that's a hard feeling." Zhang Zhiwei frowned and said, "The four original sin attributes, that is to say, the conditions that can cause damage to the boss are simply harsh." ”

"That's not the case, let's do the math." Xia Chiyu began to understand.

First of all, there are seven attributes, in addition to the previous color gamut and gluttony, there are five others, corresponding to different skills and different attack methods.

Greed, release the "Absorb" skill to the whole group of players, absorb ten percent of the attribute value of the whole group, that is, the player lowers the attribute and then the boss increases the attribute. This attribute can only take damage from ranged attacks.

Rage, unleash the Berserk skill, the boss deals 10% more damage, and the attack speed increases by 10%, in this state, the boss will only take damage from melee attacks.

Lazy, with a slow aura, reduces cast speed, movement speed, attack speed, and elemental condensation speed by 10% for all players in the group. This attribute only takes damage from the player while slowed.

Arrogance, the boss will "suppress" the specified player in this attribute, dealing 10% damage per second for 5 seconds. However, when this skill is cast, the boss will not attack other players, and will not do any other action.

Under this attribute, the boss will only receive damage from behind.

The last type, Envy, will unleash the "Chain" skill, which connects itself to the second Hate Loo in the current list for ten seconds, and for ten seconds, 10% of the damage taken by the boss will be shared among the player, and the player's healing effect will be applied to the boss by a factor of 10. This status only takes damage from the front.

"You see, most of these seven attributes are in conflict with each other." Xia Chiyu explained, "The front and back will definitely not appear at the same time, because the two effects are obviously conflicting, and physics and magic will not appear at the same time, and melee and ranged will not appear at the same time. ”

Speaking of which, Nadya already understood: "Oh, I see, that is to say, in the third stage, the laziness attribute is inevitable, and then it will be randomly matched with the other three attributes, right?" ”

"That's right, there will be four attributes on the third stage boss." Xia Chiyu grinned, "And these attributes will not make the BOSS enter an invincible state, that is to say, in this third stage, there are actually only four combinations, laziness is inevitable, and the other three will mix and match with each other." In other words, there are only a few ways to do harm to him. ”

"That's right!" Chen Feng slapped his face, his brows furrowed: "How many are there?" I hate to do permutations and combinations......"

"You don't need to care about several combinations.,In short, the way to cause damage to the boss.,The first thing you need to do is to cause a slowdown effect.,The other is the output position.,Either in front of the boss or behind the boss.,And then it's melee or long-range physical attacks.,Or melee and long-range magic attacks.,Think about it.,It's a lot simpler, right?"

"Well, it seems to be really ......" Zhang Zhiwei held his chin and groaned, and then said happily: "Then isn't this boss almost over?!" It's that simple? ”

"No, you're going in the wrong direction." Xia Chiyu smiled and said, "The difficulty of this boss is not how to cause damage to him, but his skill set, how to deal with these skills is the most troublesome." ”

When the player focuses on how to deal damage to the boss, they ignore this.

While the boss obtains multiple attributes at the same time, it is not only more difficult to damage it, but the boss will also have multiple skills, and if these skills are released at the same time, it will cause a lot of trouble to the team, and this, coupled with the boss's harsh damage conditions, adds up to the biggest difficulty of this boss.

Also, although the first two stages will be easy, the difficulty will increase dramatically when the boss has three attributes at the same time. And, to be honest, the difficulty of having three attributes at the same time and four attributes at the same time is not known to be higher, because there is no inevitable appearance of "lazy attributes" when there are three attributes, resulting in more possible variables.

Xia Chiyu pondered for a while, and continued: "Then let's come here today, wait for those three fools to rest for a day, and tomorrow the four of us will be full of spirits, and then officially start the reclamation of this BOSS." (To be continued.) )
