Chapter 173: Exploring the Illusion
Wang Dawei looked at his surroundings.
The Xianxia-style Li Huanzhen appeared in a cybertech-style world, which looked quite disobedient.
The scene seems to be pieced together from the rooftops of several skyscrapers, strung together by a bridge of cold steel pipes and a mess of materials.
Wang Dawei saw some robots walking around, but these robots did not take the initiative to attack him.
"If it's an NPC, can you go up and ask for directions?"
Wang Dawei walked forward while thinking, but as soon as he took two steps, the whole picture vibrate, and Li Huanzhen's footsteps became staggering, and finally he even had to stop.
A huge humanoid mechanical monster slowly rose from the roof of a skyscraper in the distance, and its eyes shone on Li Huanzhen's body like searchlights!
It looks as big as the sky, and it is covered in dense manipulators, and these manipulators seem to be able to deform and expand freely.
The dark and dull shadow was pressed, Wang Dawei was startled, and hurriedly controlled Li Huanzhen to dodge.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the original shadow was slapped down by a huge mechanical arm, and debris flew sideways and smoke billowed out!
Seeing that the next palm was about to be slapped down, Wang Dawei hurriedly controlled Li Huanzhen to run forward!
At the same time, the black dragon is also being attacked by big hands.
Although the two are separated in two different worlds, they are in a similar situation.
It's just that Wang Dawei's side is a huge humanoid mechanical monster, and on the black dragon's side is a huge thousand-handed Buddha statue.
As an anchor who never looks at the plot or the map mechanism, the black dragon directly chose to be tough, he simply moved directly towards the Big Buddha, and every time the palm of the Big Buddha was slapped down, he directly used the perfect parry to bounce off.
Wang Dawei, on the other hand, did not have this kind of technology at all, so he could only flee in a hurry while trying to find a shelter.
And what makes people desperate is that this level scene is still full of various mechanisms!
There are bottomless cliffs, dangerous single-plank bridges, a rain of arrows that shoot when you step on a mechanism, and a large axe that swings back and forth in the air......
Although Li Huanzhen's mobility is very good, and there are many grasping points in the game that can use hooks, it is still easy to collapse under the interception of the mechanism and the attack of the mechanical arm.
What's even more outrageous is that this boss battle also has a "catastrophe" mechanic.
Every once in a while, the Buddha will directly use a lot of palms to quickly slap a small scene, almost 360 degrees without dead ends, even if the perfect parry is impossible to all bounce open, as long as you can't leave this scene in advance and run quickly to the next one, you will die.
Once one of them dies, then the two will exit the scene and return to the nearest resurrection point to the main hall of Shingon Temple to start over.
……
I have to say that this mechanical boss of Shingon Temple has become the biggest difficulty since the "Crippled Combo" challenged the game "Ascension".
Because this is a puzzle + map mechanism of the BOSS, not only requires players to complete specific operations and not be shot to death by the Buddha, but also to collect information on the map and find the elements of puzzle solving.
The black dragon was still as reckless as before, but he soon found that even if he could barely get to the side of the Buddha, he couldn't do much damage to it at all, and only a bloody skin fell off when he slashed it.
Moreover, after getting close to the Big Buddha, it will be accelerated by various palm techniques, and the fault tolerance rate is even lower, and he will die violently if he is not careful, and Wang Dawei will die together.
After trying a few times, Heilong realized that this boss would definitely not be able to win with brute force, so he could only pin his hopes on Wang Dawei.
But Wang Dawei's situation is not very good, his operation is sparse, but it is already very hard to barely die under the attack of the Big Buddha.
As for the method of cracking this level? I don't have a clue yet.
The arena for this boss battle is not particularly large, nor is it particularly complicated, it is basically just five or six empty scenes, and a dozen routes connecting these five or six scenes in all directions.
These scenes and routes have their own characteristics, and there are different notices posted at the entrance, such as: "Like the abyss", "Walking on thin ice", "Candle shadow shaking", "Bustling city", "Deafening", etc., there are only four simple words, and there is no further explanation.
However, based on the content of the notice and the situation in the scene, it can be roughly distinguished.
"Like an Abyss" is a very dark scene, with low visibility and a deep ditch that will fall if you are not careful;
The ground of "Walking on Thin Ice" is made of various crumbling shelves, and if you go too fast, you will fall;
"Candle Shadow Shake" is a special space with a large number of lighting effects, there are several switches in the room to control all the lights alternately, and all the lights can be turned off in a specific order, of course, in the world of Xianxia, it is represented as candles;
"Downtown Downtown" is a scene with a large number of NPCs, with various noisy sounds, and these NPCs have collision volumes, so their movement is limited;
In the scene of "Deafening and Deafening", there are various huge sound systems, which can be turned up to make loud noise, and the world of Xianxia is represented by bells and drums and various musical instruments.
In addition to the "bustling city", you can also see a lot of NPCs in other scenes and on the roads that connect the scenes, these NPCs are basically walking slowly along a fixed route, and they won't notice Li Huanzhen under normal conditions, but they will fight back if they are attacked.
They have low health and attack power, and are basically three knives in one, but they don't drop anything after killing.
Wang Dawei was a little puzzled.
These scenes are obviously related to the mechanics of this boss battle, such as the place where you can hide for more time in the place of "Like the Abyss", which is relatively difficult to be discovered by the Buddha; Walking on thin ice, on the other hand, is very dangerous, and if you are filmed, you may fall directly into the whole scene, so don't get close to it as much as possible.
But is that all there is to it? It still doesn't seem to help you beat the game.
After persisting for a while, the situation took a turn for the better.
That little emperor of the Great Liang has appeared!
Of course, his appearance is still different from different perspectives.
Wang Dawei controls the Xianxia Li Huanzhen, what he sees at this time is the mechanical world of cyber style, and what he sees at this time is the little emperor of Daliang, wearing a dragon robe.
And the black dragon is the opposite, what he sees is the genius young hacker in the sci-fi plot.
This little emperor didn't know why he also entered this fantasy space, unlike other NPCs, he would take the initiative to approach Wang Dawei and the black dragon, and guide them to a specific place to hide. In this way, it is just right to avoid the "catastrophe of annihilation".
As long as the little emperor is followed all the time, then the player is enough to hold out in this scenario for a long time.
Wang Dawei originally thought that this was the designer's pity, but after following for a while, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Because Li Huanzhen, who he controlled, has always been exhausted, and the best result is only not to die, but he can't cause any damage to the Buddha at all.
However, after searching the entire scene, I didn't find any mechanism that could hurt the Buddha.
Suddenly, Wang Dawei had a flash of inspiration, he controlled Li Huanzhen and slashed at this little emperor!
The little emperor screamed, and his left arm was cut off.
The little emperor fled in an instant, and the mechanical monster in the space where Wang Dawei was located began to slap wildly with an even more ferocious attitude!
But on the other side, the black dragon asked in surprise, "Brother David! What did you do? Why did the Buddha on my side suddenly lose half of his hand? ”
At this time, in the world where the black dragon was located, the left half of the Buddha's arm was seriously injured and fell down and could not be lifted again.
But then, the Buddha continued to attack with the intact arm on the other side, and the attack methods became diverse, not only slapping, but also grabbing and sweeping!
……
Wang Dawei was stunned: "I see! Brother Long! It turned out that he was going to kill the little emperor!
"This game is really a bit inappropriate!"
The black dragon was still at a loss: "What little emperor?" ”
Wang Dawei hurriedly said: "It's okay, Brother Long, just hold on to it, I'll take care of it!" ”
At this time, Wang Dawei finally understood the way to play this boss battle.
Obviously, this little emperor is a complete bewilderment!
Throw the player into a dangerous environment first, so that the player will die due to the attack of the Buddha and the map mechanic if they are not careful. Then throw a familiar, friendly NPC to guide the player to dodge attacks.
In this way, whether from an emotional point of view or from a practical point of view, the player will rely more on this little emperor and will not draw a knife against him.
But in fact, the state of this little emperor is directly bound to the big Buddha of another world!
Every time Wang Dawei hits this little emperor, he will show himself to the big Buddha in another world.
However, after being cut once, the little emperor will quickly escape, and the player must use the map mechanic to catch up with the little emperor and constantly attack him while dodging the attack of the big Buddha.
In the previous scenes, different mechanisms can be used to weaken the little emperor's visual, auditory, movement and other attributes, so that players can better catch up and attack.
Every time the little emperor is injured, the Great Buddha in the other world will be weakened once, but the attacks will also be more frequent and the way of attacking will also change.
Fortunately, the operation of the black dragon is indeed excellent, and in this case, it is hard to rely on immortality and persist for a long time.
Finally, as Li Huanzhen stabbed the long sword into the little emperor's chest for the last time, the whole scene collapsed!
The vast illusion dissolves into nothingness, and the screen gradually goes black.
In the next second, Wang Dawei and the black dragon had already returned to the main hall of the Shingon Temple.
The old monk, who was originally kind and kind, was covered in blood at this time, and the flesh and blood under his robe were constantly agitating, and it seemed that he was on the verge of collapse.
"Congratulations, donor, you've broken through the illusion.
"I just don't know if you're real or unreal?"
