As the game's UI appears, the player controls a character that rises from the ground.

[Northern Immortality]

The name of the area the player is currently in, appears in the center of the screen.

The game is officially on!

The protagonist is dressed as a thief and holds a broken hilt of a sword in his right hand.

And at this moment, Er Xiao suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"No, brothers, I've been pinching my face for so long, why did it become so ugly when I entered the game?"

Er Xiao pushed the joystick to rotate the perspective, at this time, although the thief's face was wearing a mask, but from the leaking face, as well as a small part of the skin, it was not difficult to see that the thief was now in the same state as those corpses lying on the ground.

The whole body was red, as if all the water had been evaporated.

"Is it possible that you were so ugly in the first place?"

"This is a place where the undead are imprisoned, and since you can be locked up like them, it's normal to look similar to them."

"There should be a way to turn you back to your original state in the future, otherwise that face-pinching link will be meaningless at all."

I have to say that the last one's statement is very reasonable.

Erxiao, who figured it out, didn't bother here, and directly started the process of the game.

The blue ball of light in front of him was so attractive, Er Xiao gently pushed the joystick, and the undead protagonist slowly walked forward, when he came to the corpse that had been dropped.

[A key: Loot the remains]

As the A button is pressed, a dungeon key appears in the center of the screen.

"Thank you for a dungeon key from the knight's good brother."

"Okay, good, the protagonist is out."

"Erxiao, how does the operation feel?"

Er Xiao casually manipulated the undead to walk back and forth in the prison a few times, and said happily:

"It's still quite comfortable to walk, but the specific evaluation will have to wait a while to play."

Without further ado, Erxiao continued to experience.

Use the dungeon key to push open the door, and you'll be greeted by a somewhat desolate and dilapidated cell corridor.

In this corridor, the most striking thing is the red blood words on the ground.

When the undead step on the blood letter, press the interactive button, and some information prompts will appear.

It's all very basic tips, such as how to manipulate the camera and how to attack.

In front of the Scarlet Letter, there is a withered living corpse facing the protagonist, bending over to cover his face.

"Let's see how this game attacks."

Er Xiao said as he waved his weapon at the living corpse in front of him.

The undead charge his right hand backwards, takes a step forward with his left foot, and then swings it out, completing the entire attack process.

One knife 13, the damage is pitifully low.

But after being attacked, the living corpse will not resist, and can only watch the player kill it one by one.

As its health bar emptied and fell limply to the ground, a small speck of blue light floated from his body into the undead's body.

In the lower right corner, the UI of the interface was originally 0, but suddenly increased to 20.

"It's a pretty simple game, and honestly, I thought Lo would design the game as hard as the Hollow Knight."

"There is no comparison between 2D games and 3D games, after all, many work scenes that can be completed in 2D, and the difficulty of 3D reproduction is too high."

"Brother, this is a novice level, isn't the novice level of the Hollow Knight just counter-attacking flies and small bugs at the beginning?"

Everyone doesn't have any expectations for the novice level, because the purpose of the novice level is actually for you to get familiar with the operation.

Following the guidance of the Blood Word, the player hacked two small living corpses to death along the way.

One of them is still in the water, and when the player walks up, it will slow down significantly, which is a sign to the big guy that this game has terrain such as waterholes.

When the player descends an upward staircase to a courtyard, the cramped corridor of the prison suddenly opens up.

Square courtyard with green grass.

In the middle of the courtyard, a pile of ashes and bones was burning, and above this fire, a strange threaded red sword, stuck diagonally into the fire.

When the player chooses to rest at the campfire, the whole screen is accompanied by a special effect that looks like quicksand rolling down, and then ......

Nothing happened.

"This should be for you to save and rest, but your health bar is full now, so there is no change."

"You don't have to ink the beginner tutorial, rush and you're done!"

The undead immediately rose from the ground.

At this time, there were two paths in front of him, the gate in front and the fence gate on the left.

In line with the idea of never going through the gate if there is a small door, the immortal came to the fence gate and pressed the interactive button, but at this time, there was only a line of cold small words on the screen.

[Unable to open from this side]

"It's coming, it's coming! Classic Otto-like room design! ”

It's like a rock blocking the road and a hollow mechanism blocking the door, and the iron door in front of him that can only be opened from the back naturally makes the beginner fans excited.

You can't take the path, and of course you can only choose the gate.

As the quaint door in front of him was slowly pushed open by the undead, there was a line of blood characters in the center of the wide huge room in front of him.

can wait until Erxiao trotted for a while, and the moment he saw the blood word in the past:

[Run!] ]

The eye-catching hint made Er Xiao look confused, and at the same time, a huge demon that caught everyone off guard fell from the top of his head.

The Immortal House Demon.

It was so large that it couldn't see the top of its head when it looked up, and it held a huge hammer in its hand, which caused a violent sound like an earthquake the moment it hit the ground.

Almost subconsciously, Er Xiao walked towards the fence gate that opened on the left-hand side.

As she fled, it seemed like a thousand moments, and the iron door behind her closed instantly!

And the monster, which was still mighty just now, also quieted down.

"Damn, what the hell? Scared the hell out of me! ”

Erxiao patted his chest and palpitated.

The scene that just happened was so sudden that she wasn't mentally prepared yet.

"Indeed, I was scared enough by this thing just now, but fortunately there is a hint on the ground, mercy from Mr. Luo."

"No, you can't just go straight to it? It's not like you don't have weapons in your hands. ”

"You don't have to think about it, it must be a plot kill, and you can't beat it in the early stage."

Not to mention that the sailors on the side were still arguing fiercely, Er Xiao hid in the small door and went all the way down the stairs, and there was another bonfire in sight.

After lighting the fire and sitting on the fire, turn right in this small room, and it is still bloody.

[if there is a shield......]

What does this mean?

Er Xiao was puzzled, and his footsteps did not stop and turned right directly into the door.

With a soft swishing sound, before Er Xiao could understand what was happening, the white arrows flying from afar had already inserted into the body of the undead, reducing the amount of blood by one block.

On the left, a blue ball of light that looked like the dungeon key had been obtained earlier came into view.

Without saying a word, Er Xiao turned around and walked into a small room hidden here that was specially used to avoid arrows.

And with the search for the blue light group, a small shield called "Group Card" was successfully collected by the player.

According to the blood characters in the small room, the undead raised their shields, walked out of the small room, and pressed towards the archery living corpses in the distance.

With a few soft clanging sounds, the arrows sparked a few sparks on the shield.

Except for the stamina bar on the top of his head that dropped a little, the blood streaks didn't move at all.

As if knowing that the player had a shield in his hand, the living corpse turned and ran away when the player was close to his position.

"What are you running? I just shot so cool, come and be tough with me! ”

Er Xiao chased after him a little unwillingly.

"It's cool to ejaculate."

“？”

"When I hit? When it's not me who has a problem, it's you who has a problem. ”

In the process of chasing, Er Xiao finally picked up the weapon that his thief should carry at the beginning, the "Thief Short Knife".

In this way, the immortal of "Thief Erxiao" has officially become a complete body.

The power of the Thief's Short Knife is not at all comparable to that of a broken sword, swinging faster and dealing more damage.

It's that the attack range is obviously much shorter than that of the broken sword.

After slashing the archery corpse under the horse, there was a white fog door in front of the line of sight, which was not simple at first glance.

"I feel like I'm going to fight the boss."

Er Xiao's heart tightened, and he frowned and said.

None of the previous maps had such a fog door blockade, and the appearance of this kind of thing is a clear sign now.

Confirming that he was fully prepared, Erxiao passed through the fog gate, but the first thing that caught his eye was not the boss, but a broken fence gate, sealed by the accumulation of stones.

Through the crack in the door, the player can clearly see that the knight who helped the protagonist is sitting motionless on the ground.

The blood on the ground on the side suggests an action called "Roll".

Erxiao tried to interact with the broken metal door, either attacking directly or rolling, but obviously couldn't break the broken iron door.

There is no way, the undead can only choose to move on.

Here the path is again split in two, two staircases, one up and one down.

"I've always been on the top before."

Er Xiao explained.

But when she came to the end of the staircase, she suddenly saw a rather familiar fence door.

As the undead slowly pushed the fence gate open, the impressive courtyard came into view, and the corners of Erxiao's mouth hooked.

"That's what it tastes like, what about a lot of routes? No matter which way you go, there will always be a way to come back in the end. ”

"Yes, it's this familiar smell, and when I saw this door, my mind involuntarily began to outline the structure of the entire map of the Northern Immortal Courtyard.

From the point where the protagonist has just come out of the cell, go straight to the living corpse with a puddle, turn left, go up the stairs, and enter the demon room.

Turn left and take the uphill corridor with the archer's corpse, then turn left and go up the stairs to meet the knight on the opposite side.

It's so clear that the connecting point of everything is this courtyard in the middle. ”

"Isn't it, this can blow too? Isn't it just a very simple ring-like structure? ”

"It's not blowing, it's just telling the truth, after all, it's the initial map.

Didn't you notice that Dark Souls' guidance was great from start to finish? When the blood word prompts you to an action, there is a new action to pair it with right away.

With weapons, there are living corpse targets in front that will not resist, and in the face of archers, we need to approach with shields......

Textbook-level novice guidance, Lo always really learns the lesson of the Hollow Knight, and tries to lower the threshold for new players to get started.

With such a guide design, no matter how handicapped the player is, as long as he follows the guidance, he will definitely be able to play. ”

Coming up from the stairs below, when Er Xiao walked towards the upper stairs, a large iron ball that had no prior defense at all rolled down the stairs.

The undead were caught off guard by the iron ball, and directly lost half of their HP.

"? How can there be a big iron ball here! ”

Er Xiao exclaimed.

Suddenly, there was the sound of walls cracking.

Er Xiao turned around and looked back, and the thick wall behind him had been smashed open by an iron ball.

"I think the knight must have been in there, right?"

"This iron ball is specially for you to open the door!"

When they think of the knight behind them who once helped the protagonist, almost everyone doesn't pay much attention to why the iron ball in front of them is here, and no one thinks that this design is a big deal.

At this time, Lao Lu, who was watching the live broadcast at home, narrowed his eyes slightly, just hooking the corners of his mouth.

All the blandness before is a guide.

He knew that from the iron ball in front of him, the most unique place of Dark Souls had truly shown its fangs to all players.

But at this moment, no one has a clear understanding of this.
