This monster that looks like a giant ape has a great sense of oppression.

In addition, there are archers inside the city gates, who keep firing cold arrows.

You can't beat it in there.

"If you can lure it outside, it will have the power to fight." Wang Laoju tried it and slowly retreated without breaking the hatred.

And use the tumbling to dodge the whirlwind sword qi that comes from the veneer.

Good news.

It is true that you can lead outside to have a 1v1 battle with it.

And the bad news is.

Even if it's a 1v1 battle.

This guy also looks too ferocious.

There is a downside to engaging enemies that are very large.

That is, the field of view is occluded.

The player cannot see the full extent of the Great Ape's attack.

Especially Lao Ju, who was standing at its feet and was ready to hurt.

Sometimes you can feel that this guy is raising his sword and ready to swing, but it will always be too early or too late.

And its sheer size slows it down.

After clearing two or three waves of camps in a row, Wang Laoju had become accustomed to the faster attack speed of his humanoid opponents.

On the contrary, it is difficult to judge this slow-coming offensive.

After just two simple hand-to-hand moves, the faded man let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground.

But as Wang Laoju just concluded.

There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all game.

Each time you face a different enemy, the tricks will change.

It is also a good opportunity for players to learn and grow.

And the blessing point is just around the corner.

Don't say a word, just get started!

Maybe it's the battle over the trees in the first half hour, or maybe it's the epiphany in the camp that epiphany, the core gameplay of this game.

This time to challenge the giant ape, Wang Laoju only died less than ten times.

Groping for new ways to play and improve in the midst of constant death.

"Roll!"

"Okay, he has a huge stun with this knife sweeping on the ground, so take the opportunity to go around his back at this time......"

"A jump split!" As Lao Ju's voice fell, he also took away the last trace of blood of the giant ape.

"Roar!!

Watch as the massive body collapses, then disappears into dots of white light, and a generous 2,000 runes are given.

"Holy, so fat?" Wang Laoju was dumbfounded.

You must know that just now he widened the upper limit of point blood in order to upgrade.

After brushing the camp for a long time, all kinds of carefully pulled monsters over to fight alone, and there were more than 1,000 in one round.

Time-consuming and energy-consuming.

As a result, if you kill this giant ape, you can get 2000!

And, after defeating it.

A feeling of getting stronger once again arose spontaneously from Lao Ju's heart.

The barrage also filled the screen with praises such as "Chairman is so strong" and "666".

The popularity of the live broadcast room began to pick up.

In the case of the player without any stat increase, they can feel the coolness of growth.

This is something that no game has ever done before.

After solving the giant ape, Lao Ju did not hesitate.

Summoning the spirit horse Torret, he rode his horse and rushed into the city gates, and the horse's hooves were swift!

Just like the place name of the blessing point is displayed - [in front of the level]

It looks like a stronghold in Stonewell.

Serves a role more closely than an outpost.

A mountain road winds upwards and stretches to the end.

It's just that on this road, except for the giant ape guarding the door.

Numerous barricades were also erected, and many archers and shield-wielding soldiers lay in ambush on both sides of the road, clearing out all uninvited guests who had rushed into the city without permission.

Although the most dangerous giant ape here has been dealt with, the soldiers on both sides of the ambush are still not to be underestimated.

The slightest carelessness will likely result in the death of the player.

Then in the face of the giant ape that was refreshed again, he had to start all over again.

Wang Laoju just felt that he had become stronger, and even the giant ape was slaughtered, afraid of you stinky fish and rotten shrimp soldiers?

As a result, the archers fired at them from a distance, and the soldiers hiding in the bushes took the opportunity to rush up and attack.

The second consecutive slash directly reduces the blood volume of the faded person to less than half!

The frightened old chrysanthemum rolled a few times to pull away from his position, hurriedly drank the blood medicine, and regained his vigilance.

He didn't want to face the giant ape again, it was very inky and dangerous to deal with, and it was not worth it.

"This game is really...... We can't take it lightly for a moment, even in the face of the weakest-looking mobs, we may be killed. ”

After carefully killing all the enemies lurking around this mountain road, Wang Laoju breathed a sigh of relief.

When I looked up at the road ahead again, I was inexplicably with a hint of jealousy.

This kind of jealousy is that even Wang Laoju himself can't tell why he came.

Fear of strong opponents is an emotion he has never seen before in other games.

While riding forward, Wang Laoju also thought deeply about the emotions that arose for the first time.

When Wang Laoju plays games, he likes to experience games from the perspective of a 'game designer'.

They'll think about what kind of design methods they're using here, and why they're designing the way they're there.

Once you've managed to capture some of the subtle details left by the designers, you'll be entertained.

This is a kind of spiritual resonance between the player and the designer, which was born in the game, but is higher than the game.

Wang Laoju is by no means a special case, and this is also what many players will do when they experience the game.

Generally speaking, players play games with a bang for the boss.

However, "Elden" began to subconsciously implant layers of strong elements for players from the moment they stepped into Nimgefo.

Get out of the original novice teaching cave.

Then meet the Tree Guard, who is a new killer.

Finally escaped.

There was another setback at the camp.

Then he continued to train until he became strong and was finally able to clean up the camp without dying.

Immediately, there was another mountain demon's head blow, shattering the player's complacency.

In the face of more powerful enemies, players will have to devote 120,000 points of concentration to the battle once again.

Finally, he defeated the strong enemy of the mountain demon.

and cleared the ambush that led to the mountain.

At this time, the player is left with nothing but the joy of growing up again.

also has more fear of the unknown future.

We've been told to head to Stonewell to hunt down a demigod known as Grim.

But on the way to hunt him, we haven't even reached Stonewell's city, and we haven't even seen the shadow of Stonewell.

has been beaten by the tight defense system along the road.

This will invisibly make the player feel as if they are really attacking the city.

It will also quietly raise the status of the boss that the player is about to attack.

The obstacles I encountered on the way were already so strong.

Is it really Stonewell? How strong will the opponent be there?

But then again.

If I such an opponent, I can't be bullish?

And that's exactly what happened.

At the same time, it makes players feel jealous, and at the same time, it vaguely bursts out with a kind of 'Lao Deng, I have to break you' to challenge the heart!

And this kind of 'fear and expectation' complex emotions.

After Wang Laoju went all the way up the mountain road and arrived at the foot of the city gate of Stonewell City, he finally reached the peak! (Little Red Riding Hood will explain later)

After clearing out the soldiers lurking in the narrow corridor.

Take a step forward.

Suddenly, the entire live broadcast room let out a 'Wow! 'it!' Exclamations.

I saw that under the sky covered by black clouds, Stonewell City seemed to be built on the top of a mountain closest to the sky.

It is a very old castle with a grey stone hue on the outside.

The stones are large pieces of rough stone, and they are built in a neat and orderly row.

The walls were tall and strong, covered with the marks of time and the scars of battle.

On top of the city walls, towers and lookouts are lined up, giving you a direct view of the front of the level, giving you a panoramic view of all threats from the outside world.

The top of the octagonal tower outlined by the carved decoration of wood and gold edge, with a strong blend of ancient Roman and Gothic style, the whistling mountain wind blows the flag on the city gate in the wind, there is an indescribable solemnity.

Full of majestic architectural beauty!

In contrast, the faded man who stands at the foot of the city gate and has to raise his head and look up to see the front end of the castle is very small.

Especially in the portrayal of the 'black clouds crushing the city'-like environment.

This oppressive psychological hint will be put even bigger by the player.

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room has begun to explode!

"Crooked day! Is the feeling of oppression so strong? ”

"With such a city here, I can't imagine how strong the guys inside will become......"

"This is the first time I've intuitively felt what architectural aesthetics are in the game! The impact is really huge! ”

"! When it comes to blending the architectural style with the game's graphics, I'm really only serving the number one player! I feel like there have been other games that have been imitating this style in the last two years, but they can't always make this kind of direct look. ”

"The last time my scalp was numb, it was Sky City in BioShock, but it was a dreamy style, and the current Stonewell is domineering in a realistic style!"

"Carved treasure cow! This building alone is enough for architectural engineering students to study for a long time, right? ”

"Kebao? Rain Treasure! The main beauty of the number one player is the eternal god! ”

"Damn, just because of the shock that this Stonewell City brought me, I bought this game!"

At this time, before Wang Laoju could sigh at the impact of this scene on him.

Suddenly, a humanoid monster armed with a cane, covered in curly horns, and even a dragon's tail, slowly appeared above the tower, radiating a dazzling light similar to that of a golden tree.

Although he looks ugly, his demeanor is very dignified and calm, and he looks like a nobleman with quite a status.

"Fader—

He who is fiddled with the fire of ignorant ambition.

Delusional to get the Elden Ring?"

After the words fell, the light on his body gradually dimmed and extinguished.

Take a leap and jump off the tower.

"Bang!!"

Just like the superhero landing animation, the sand and rocks are stirred up, and the black smoke is billowed.

He slowly walked out of the black fog with a crutch, and his voice was full of murderous intent!

"Then it should be extinguished, along with that wildfire.

I, Malkit, the "Omen Demon", will execute you!"

"Holy?? Another boss? Wang Laoju's eyes instantly widened.

How long has it been?

If you remove the time of death when the player is tortured, follow the normal process and ride directly towards Stonewell at the beginning of the game.

Players can say that they have only experienced a few waves of mobs before ushering in a brand new boss again!

Boy...... In other games, the boss is reluctant to be released until an important moment.

Why is it crazy to show like you don't want money here in "Elden"?

After all, you must know that the amount of money spent on polishing a boss is far from being comparable to the likes of mobs.

Let's not talk about modeling, and the motor skills should be designed with a new one.

And then the boss appears, at least there has to be a related plot around him, right?

You can't have no plot, and you can't jump out of a BOSS, which will seriously destroy the sense of substitution.

This undoubtedly increases the amount of textual work.

Finally, there is a series of weapons and equipment of the boss, the venue where it is located, the exclusive items dropped by defeating the boss, etc., all of which must be designed with relevant balance.

Just count on your fingers, it's all burning funds!

Therefore, in most of Blue Star's games, the process of a boss usually takes about half an hour to appear.

Until the end of the game, there can be more than 20 bosses, which is considered to have been done by the game manufacturer, and players have to be grateful to Dade and shout happiness.

But in "Elden", not long after the beginning, the density of the boss has already amazed Wang Laoju.

"Don't be a leather boss......"

And the next attack of the bad omen will completely change Wang Laoju's mind!

The cutscene has just ended.

The bad omen's health bar has just emerged.

From afar, a few daggers gilded with golden light shot out one after another.

Lao Ju had already reacted quickly and raised his shield, but found that even if he blocked the attack, he was still bleeding!

This boss has magic damage to attack!

And just when I first learned this.

The bad omen has come into action!

His seemingly strong body is extremely flexible at this moment!

The movement speed is ghostly.

In an instant, he jumped from dozens of meters away, and smashed down violently with a cane!

Rolling!

The experience accumulated all the way in front of him allowed Wang Laoju to quickly shoot the space and roll on the spot, which was able to dodge the smashing attack at the same time.

It also went around the back of the bad omen.

"It seems that this BOSS doesn't seem to be as ...... as imagined" Before the word 'strong' was spoken, Lao Ju's face suddenly tightened!

I saw the bad omen holding his cane high with his back to the player.

And the next moment!

The speed of light turns for Ah Fa!

A crutch smashed straight to the ground!

"Bang!"

This superb intelligence and mobility caught Lao Ju off guard.

There was no time to roll, and the shield was raised to resist a smash.

But Bad Omen did not give up the slightest desire to attack.

After the blow, without any warning of the forward swing, the other free hand reached for his waist and quickly pulled out a slender light dagger.

Dagger Flurry!

Facing the faded one, it is two chisels to the left and right! Like a mad dog!

Lao Ju, who was not rich in energy bar, was almost emptied after eating a crutch and smashing it.

Before the shield could even be lowered, it slashed back and forth with two blows of the dagger.

"Phew!"

Directly hit to break the defense!

It was swept away by the second knife of the dagger.

The amount of blood has also been reduced to a precarious level!

It can be said that it will shatter at the touch of a button!

In the panic, Wang Laoju had long lost the momentum he had just killed all the way to Stonewell City.

As soon as the energy bar recovered a little, it pulled away from two retreats and rolls in succession.

I just want to raise my hand to replenish my blood.

But right now.

Once again, Bad Omen showed his insane desire to attack!

As if trying to tear the uninvited guest apart, he conjured up a giant hammer of light and leaped into the air.

After a short two-second delay.

Swoop down to where the Faded Man stood.

Justice from heaven!

The giant light hammer in his hand slammed the ground like thunder, smashing countless cracks with a thousand pounds! Even the surface is trembling! The footage also shook constantly.

Although Wang Laoju already knew that this move was hugely powerful, even if he rolled in advance.

But when the light hammer left the ground, it also brought a diffuse shockwave!

As soon as the Faded One rolled up, he took the shockwave damage.

Lao Ju, who was already alive and bloody, could only watch the words 'GAME OVER' appear, and the screen turned gray and black.

At this point, he froze.

Wang Laoju stared at the screen blankly and fell into silence.

He didn't even know what he had just been through......

Storm on the offensive!

Wave after wave, without any respite!

This is especially the boss to be fought in the early stage of the player's wasteland???

The barrage is also completely stupid!

After a short two-second delay, the explosive tumbling begins!

“？？？？”

"Ah???h

"Tick? What are you doing, carving ??? ”

"Damn!! What the hell is this boss??? ”

"I'm a day, and I have a strong sense of oppression!! This offensive rhythm makes me feel suffocated through the screen!! ”

"This is the boss that players can fight at this stage???"

"To be honest, the chairman has done a good job just now, leaving almost no flaws...... Whether it's blocking the throwing knife at the beginning, or rolling and dodging the big jump, or raising the shield and carrying the crutches to smash down, and the dagger is dancing wildly, it has reached the limit. But the difficulty of this bad omen design still exceeded my expectations......"

"In other words, to fight this boss, none of the skills learned earlier are very effective...... You have to learn something new from this boss again...... I really just live to learn! ”

"But how does this boss learn? I can't even see where his flaws are...... Only this one word is revealed all over the body, strong! ”

"I feel like the big tree guard has become a younger brother directly compared to him, how the hell is this fighting......"

"I can't beat the tree guards, you ask me?"

"Desperate ......"

"No, you put the bad omen in other games, and I believe it when it is the final boss...... The number one player just goes straight to the second play? Sauce purple show-off skills? ”

"Good, good! Do you want to play the game! Kebao, I'd like to see what other bosses you make later than this! ”

The barrage scrolled violently for a moment.

Wang Laoju swallowed his saliva with difficulty and came back to his senses.

Shocked...!!

I just said that the density of the number one player to design the boss is so high, I'm afraid that it won't be a leather boss, and it will be used to support the scene.

Let's look at it now......

Where is this special leather boss!?

It's like a barrage.

With the design quality of this boss, you can throw it into other action games, and you can directly promote the final boss!

And in "Elden", it was even like showing off his skills, and he was directly thrown to the second place.

Ready player one, what kind of game are you making......

And where is the upper limit of the difficulty of this game......
