Hear this!
Even Gu Sheng couldn't help but be shocked!
How many?
Eighty thousand replies in five minutes?
Besides being shocked, Gu Sheng even felt a little bit amused and helpless.
Everyone...is the reaction so strong...
This is just a mechanism BOSS!
It's not like this BOSS has never appeared in this world before, but the mechanism of this BOSS in Sekiro is not so obvious, and the difficulty of the BOSS itself is a little bit higher.
He never expected that this would cause such a big response among the players!
Although someone solved this "serious bug" just two hours after the problem broke out, he was still surprised by the strong response from the players.
"Let me see what they say."
After taking the phone from Sato, Gu Sheng was amused by the few comments that came up——
"Is there a mechanical boss in a game like this? Well, well, you're amazing..."
"I killed Wardfa like this! Who would make the mechanism so difficult? Do you know that it took me nearly ten times to fill up his posture bar? "
"It's hell! It's so fucking hell!"
"I'm so stupid, really. I only knew that Sekiro was difficult, but I forgot that a jinx like Lao Zei could add some mechanics to it."
'I can't accept it! I'd rather believe that the reason why a boss of this difficulty can't be killed is because of a bug!'
"……"
I can see it!
This is not the first time that players have come across the "BOSS battle mechanism".
but.
In previous games, bosses with this kind of mechanism have always been relatively simple.
Because generally speaking, if the BOSS of a game is set to be killed by a mechanism, then it must be related to the plot, and even more than 80% of it is to expand or improve the main plot.
In this way, in order to make players focus on the plot, the production team will inevitably weaken the actual difficulty of the BOSS battle to a certain extent.
Either let the BOSS reveal its weaknesses to allow players to attack, or let players lead the BOSS to a key area.
In short, the tasks assigned to players are not complicated, and there will definitely be relatively obvious related guidance.
Because in this kind of BOSS battle, the player is equivalent to a part of the plot.
If the production team is the director, then the players are the actors. The director needs to let the actors know how to move and perform in order to get the chicken legs.
In order to highlight this point, some games even simplify the BOSS battle into QTE operations.
You just need to follow the prompts and press the buttons to easily kill the BOSS (of course it is not easy in the cutscenes).
But Sekiro is different!
First of all, this game is too difficult.
From the Moon Viewing Tower outside Ashina Castle all the way to Senpou Temple, all the bosses and elites that players encounter are extremely difficult opponents.
This has caused players to form a mental inertia, subconsciously believing that a BOSS battle level of this abnormal level of difficulty should never have any weird mechanisms!
Secondly, the armored warrior doesn't look like a major boss at all.
Even Genichirō didn’t use the mechanism, so how could your thing possibly kill him by using the mechanism!
However.
At this moment, they realized that they had underestimated the depth of this old thief's evilness.
He not only designed the mechanism.
Even before you use the mechanism, you will have to fight with the BOSS of this mechanism for a few moves!
The players were both angry and amused!
What makes me angry is that the old thief’s level of hell has reached a new level!
It’s funny that such a simple answer actually aroused so many people’s doubts!
From the indestructible armor to being dragged into the abyss by the inertia of the armor, coupled with the medieval knight character design that is quite different from the entire Sekiro style -
'To be honest, after understanding how to pass the level, this unexpected yet reasonable BOSS design is really something that I can't help but praise.'
'It's a standard O. Henry ending'
"Indeed, although I have fought so many bosses, Robert is the most memorable one."
'It's wonderful, it really has an O. Henry-style black humor flavor'
"But think about it, the armored warrior was still shouting his son's name when he fell off the cliff. He is a very tragic character."
"The Chinese fatalism of [time and fate] is fully reflected in this work."
"Indeed, like Jiulang's Dragon Heritage, Oni Kobu's perseverance, Genichirō's protection, and old Robert's persistence."
"It's hard to tell who's right and who's wrong. In the end, all I can say is, 'It's fate.'"
"This boss's position in my heart is second only to Genichirō. He is really unique."
'Sometimes it's hard to imagine how Sam came up with these game contents'
'I feel like Old Robert will be the classic boss of this game, just like Ash in TTF'
'It's hard to say, I believe there will be more jaw-dropping things later'
"Really? I don't believe it..."
'What is Lu Yu's date?'
'Don't disbelieve me, man! Go see Pew! Holy crap! He met a fucking giant, fucking awesome python in Avalanche!!!'
And with the appearance of this comment.
Players have also started to share their amazing bosses along different routes that are enough to make people gasp in admiration.
…
Ethereal and profound.
Tuba, trombone, Chinese drum.
The steep Collapse Valley is located to the north of Ashina Castle.
The heavy snow fell, and the air exhaled by Pew condensed into white mist.
A symphony that seems to be there and not there, yet full of majesty and danger, seems to be echoing in this empty valley.
There are many mountains and steep cliffs, and there is a deep abyss beneath them.
In the cracks of the cliffs, dry branches crisscrossed and whizzing sounds continued to be heard.
Pew transformed into Ashina Spider-Man and swung around in the valley, looking extremely happy.
Traveling through the dangerous snow-covered landscape made him feel the taste of freedom from the bottom of his heart.
Especially the scenery here is so magnificent, it is simply refreshing.
Pew is having a lot of fun.
However, that was a minute ago.
Because just now——
rustling.
As Pew swung over a thick dead tree and landed on a small platform at the edge of the cliff, snow flew around his feet.
He came to find the necessary materials to synthesize the source of fragrance.
It is said that deep in the Collapse Valley lies one of the necessary ingredients for making the Fragrance of the Origin - the Fragrant Water Lotus.
However, just when he was about to complain that there were no miscellaneous soldiers or monsters in this place.
rumble--
Suddenly, the whole valley shook.
It was like the rumbling of thunder, or like the vibration of the earth's crust moving.
"An earthquake...?"
The ground was shaking so strongly that the snow on the top of the mountain fell down, and even Pew, who had just landed, almost slipped off the cliff.
An extremely ominous premonition arose in his heart.
I took two quick steps onto the small platform, pewed along the cliff, and looked towards the source of the sound...
Just one glance!
Pew's pupils shrank instantly!
What kind of existence is that.
Amidst the heavy snow, a shadow as huge as a mountain was twisting and winding among the rugged canyons.
The huge head, as big as a mountain, is covered with layers of scales.
Each scale is half the size of a human!
A pair of cold vertical pupils were like an abyss, emitting a chill as cold as snow.
Meandering and crawling.
The pure white body clings to the steep cliff!
Twist slowly.
The huge triangular head cast a shadow between the natural dangers!
A moment!
Pew just felt that the blood in his body turned cold!
This is actually a big snake.
Oh no.
It's a giant snake!!!
Its horribly curled body slowly meandered through the collapsed valley, and you couldn't even see the end at a glance!
The snake's tongue that was spit out from time to time was like God's whip, and just one fork was more than a person's length!
Since childhood, Pew has been exposed to Norse mythology.
He had never had any idea about the giant gods in mythology who could easily block out the sky and the sun.
Until now!
The huge white snake that travels through the canyon is simply the Jörmungandr of the East!
And what's even more terrifying is.
now.
The huge white snake was approaching towards him!
“What the hell…what the hell what the hell!”
Pew just felt his scalp tingling and goose bumps all over his body!
At this moment, there was an uproar in the live broadcast room——
"Gift Crab——"
"This guy... is also a boss?"
"No way, how can we fight this?"
"Is this the White Snake God?"
"Oh my god! Just looking at it is terrifying. It is hard to imagine what state Pew is in the somatosensory cabin now."
'My heart rate is already 130 hahahahahahahaha'
'Horror game'
"I thought the biggest monsters in this game were the Fire Bull and the Ghost Guard riding a warhorse."
"To be honest, the feeling of oppression was already very strong when I met the Ghost Bureau."
"This creature is beyond the limits of cognition."
"I relied on it, I relied on it, I got through it..."
"Grass - no no no -"
Seeing the giant snake approaching, Pew, whose blood pressure was already high, saw his heart rate soar even more!
The horrible feeling of oppression and fear even reminded him of the scene in the Jushan Mental Hospital where he stared at the groom through a metal cabinet!
even!
The enormous pressure brought by the giant snake is a hundred times stronger than those of the mentally ill!
Hiss, hiss, hiss——
Hiss, hiss, hiss——
Pew was lurking among the snow-white reeds, holding his breath!
A huge snake's tongue was spewing out from above his head.
The strong and heavy smell of blood seemed to become a physical entity at this moment, like a big hand, tightly wrapping around his neck.
My breathing is getting faster and faster, and my heartbeat is getting stronger and stronger!
finally!
Pew really couldn't stand this outrageous psychological pressure!
While the giant snake wasn't paying attention, he moved slightly, hoping to quickly leave this horrible place.
However!
Perhaps it was because the reeds on the small platform were too narrow.
Just move one step!
【Danger】
A huge word "Danger" instantly lit up in the Pew UI interface.
"A generous gift—"
Pew slowly raised his head and looked into the eyes of the giant snake:
"Fuck."
Hiss——Boom!!!
Suddenly!
The giant snake opened its huge mouth, revealing two huge fangs that were as big as spears, and bit towards Pew!
"I—f—!!!"
run!!!
With a loud bang!
Pew took a step forward and jumped into a narrow cave near the inner side of the small platform, barely avoiding the fatal blow!
Then there was a terrible scream, and Pew ran away!
Boom boom
The originally silent valley suddenly began to shake, and as the giant snake twisted, a loud rumbling sound was made !
The giant snake chased Pew madly, and its huge tongue pounced and bit him, biting the cliffs into shattered rocks!
Pew was running for his life, escaping madly amid the rumbling rocks and flying snow!
The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking, and there is a disaster caused by a raging python!
Under the unprecedented sense of immersion, Pew screamed continuously and the audience exclaimed continuously!
Blood pressure soars and heart rate soars!
With a terrifying heart rate of 150, Pew was almost completely collapsed and was under the tremendous pressure of being kicked out of the cabin, so he screamed and ran wildly!
The unimaginable giant BOSS is breathtaking!
…
Flying springs wash over stones.
The quiet, mysterious and delicate drum beats like a splashing waterfall complement the chimes that ring from time to time.
Bodhisattva Valley is located at the bottom of the Collapse Valley.
As the altitude decreases, the grass and trees here gradually turn green.
At the bottom of the valley, four statues of Bodhisattvas built against huge rocks guard the waterfall that seems to be pouring down from the sky!
Yingshu, who was standing on the flower-picking finger of one of the Bodhisattva statues, looked at this shocking scene, his heart surged like a flood, even difficult to express in words.
Magnificent, grand, quiet and mysterious.
It is said that the waterfall in Bodhisattva Valley flows out from the Source Palace.
That is the heavenly water flowing down from the sky, which can grant people the power to come back to life after death .
However!
Yingshu knew clearly that the so-called ability to revive from the dead was just a means of making people become puppets of the possessed person.
That was never a gift from heaven, but a horrible punishment from God.
At this moment, in the huge shallow pool diagonally below him, a pure white water lotus was blooming.
That is the fragrant lotus, one of the main ingredients for making the source of fragrance.
However.
Right next to the water lotus, there was a terrifying giant ape sitting there. It was gray all over, as strong as a mountain, and had hair as erect as a lion.
The squatting figure was as tall as three people and looked like a small mountain.
Strong, terrifying, and intimidating.
What’s even more terrifying is that at this moment, there is a huge long knife as long as a sapling stuck on its neck!
Obviously.
The lion ape has been infected by the water of the Palace of Origin, thus gaining the ability of immortality.
"call--"
Yingshu let out a long, nervous breath!
He leaped up and jumped into the pool, splashing water!
At the same time, the lion ape also noticed him.
Crash——
The lion ape stood up slowly, its tall body that blocked out the sky and the sun carried a ferocious and terrifying oppression!
There was a gasp of cold air among the barrage——
"Hiss——the difference in size is too great..."
"What kind of monsters are there here?"
"Oh my god... I get chills just looking at this..."
'This design of a knife stuck in the neck is too weird'
"I have to say that this lion ape's face looks too much like a skull."
'Goosebumps all over my body'
"I suddenly miss Shikaichiro"
"I am too shallow after all. So this is what they mean by leaving the castle tower and the game officially begins."
"These bosses are really... getting more and more outrageous..."
"It's so scary just looking at it..."
"Here we go!"
With the sound of barrage came!
Boom! Boom!
The lion ape slapped the water twice, creating a splash of water!
Then, the huge body rushed towards Yingshu frantically, swung his huge fist and smashed down heavily!
"My—sack! Sack!!!"
boom!
Twice!
Just two attacks!
Yingshu's posture bar was instantly filled up!
"Holy shit!!! What the hell is this!!!"
After staggering two steps, the lion ape swept across and slapped Yingshu away!
Plop——!
Water splashes everywhere!
Yingshu watched helplessly as his blood volume dropped by half!
The unique violent attack method of wild beasts is fully reflected in the lion ape!
It was like the bite of a mad dog or the pounce of a tiger. The frantic attack was disorganized. The huge force made Yingshu like a little chick in front of it. The lion ape could crush him to death with just a wave of its hand!
Boom!
With water splashing all over the sky, Yingshu died on the spot without even making a single cut!
Fierce! Violent! Crazy!
The huge difference in size already made Yingshu feel intimidated.
The lion ape's flexible movement speed and its slamming and sweeping attacks like a sledgehammer made him so flustered that he could not find any clues at all!
Crazy gorilla!
In the past, Yingshu often saw this sentence, but he could never imagine what the situation was like.
And now!
He saw it.
Those were the disorderly steps of a frantic wandering, and those were the heavy pressure attacks as strong as a mountain.
Those are the fangs that open its bloody mouth, and those are the long claws that raise their sharp blades.
Intense and strange string sounds rang out from time to time amid the intense drum beats. Yingshu felt that his nerves were like the taut strings and could collapse at any moment!
Once, twice, three times...
Five times, ten times, twenty times...
It is important to keep a close eye on the lion ape's almost unsystematic attacks.
But before that, what is more important is to suppress the terror that is like a haze in your heart!
Don't shrink! Don't close your eyes!
Yingshu fell down again and again, and stood up again and again!
It was not only a game with the lion ape, but also a struggle against his own instinctive fear.
Blowpipes spew out blazing flames, spears stab out sharp thorns, and crackling fireworks are especially useful against wild beasts!
The pace of the charge and pursuit became more and more fierce, the aura of the flying boat became more and more graceful, and the powerful one-character two-combo was extremely effective against the lion ape!
Bang! Bang!
As the last set of firecrackers exploded, Ichimonji nodded in succession!
Gulp!
The lion ape's huge body finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground with a bang!
The time is now!
bass!
Yingshu stepped on the lotus pond and jumped lightly onto the neck of the lion ape!
Then he turned the huge blade at its neck under the huge head!
Crunch——
Followed by a teeth-grinding tearing sound!
Snap!
Blood splattered!
The lion ape's head was chopped off and fell to the ground!
In an instant!
There was a burst of cheers in the barrage!
And Yingshu also cheered heartily after fighting for two and a half hours!
“It’s not easy…”
Standing in the lotus pond, Yingshu even felt like crying:
"Come on, let's take a picture to commemorate it."
Because the motion sensing cabin has a built-in screenshot function, players can select any camera position to take pictures of themselves or moments in the game, similar to taking screenshots.
After choosing the shooting position, Yingshu took a long breath: "One, two, three..."
However!
Before he even gets into position!
Suddenly, the sound of surging water behind him startled him.
I turned my head back subconsciously: "What's that sound..."
Yingshu's voice choked in his throat.
The huge lion ape was standing behind him at this moment. The huge wound on its neck was bloody. Its cervical vertebrae and throat were exposed to the air, and scarlet sticky blood was flowing.
The sword that was originally used to behead it was now held in its hand, and on the left hand of the headless torso, it was holding its own head.
Cang!!!
The next moment, the sword hit the ground, and the lion ape temporarily installed its head into the broken neck, roaring out a terrifying blood wave -
roar--!!!
Cardiopulmonary arrest, physical collapse!
The resurrected lion ape completely crushed Yingshu's nerves both in terms of visual impact and psychological crushing!
The weird and bloody BOSS setting is terrifying!
…
Deep and strange.
The sound of the flute is deep, dark and leisurely, yet without a trace of clarity. Instead, it is filled with an air of weirdness.
This is the aquatic village at the bottom of Ashina.
The perennial fog shrouds this place, making it almost a deserted place.
The muddy swamp was filled with deadly poisons, and villagers with stiff, empty, and dull faces walked between the dilapidated thatched houses from time to time.
【Don’t let them find you】
This was what the dying old man Quinn met in a dilapidated thatched cottage said to him.
As the base of Ashina, Shuisheng Village is the farthest place from the Genshin Palace.
The water that flowed down from the sky had turned into water that smelled rotten by the time it reached Shuisheng Village.
However, this place, which is the farthest from the Palace of Origin, is the only known path that can lead to the Palace of Origin and marry into the fairyland.
Then, the noble of Genji Palace blew the flute, causing the lingering mist to cover the village.
Then, the nobleman bewitched the village priest and made him distribute intoxicating wine.
If you drink too much, you should drink water.
Drink water and you will become a different person.
They are crazy, they are confused, they are hysterical.
The dark blue eyes of the villagers in Shuisheng Village always flash with scarlet light like a red devil!
They are the mourners of outsiders and the exploited barrier of the Palace of Origin.
The culprit behind all this was the nobleman Kirigakure who was standing in front of the screen, holding a flute and playing a strange tune.
He was wearing a red robe, hunched and dry, and his gray skin had long lost the color of a human being.
The four octopus-like tentacles extending from under the red robe make people's scalps tingle and their spines chill.
"Surprise! It's Squidward!"
'Playing the flute, not nice, but with arms and legs, I declare the case solved!'
'Detective!'
"This is one of the few bosses of normal size along the way."
"This is absolutely fucking amazing..."
"Indeed, below the Collapse Valley is the Bodhisattva Valley, and below the Bodhisattva Valley is the Shuisheng Village. This should be the stage-by-stage big boss closest to the bottom layer."
"Brother Quinn, come on, Brother Quinn!"
"My suggestion is to max out the buff first, then use a round of skills to see what kind of attacks this BOSS has."
"That makes sense. I'll appoint you as the chief counselor of the Qin State."
"I second the motion..."
"……"
As the war was approaching, everyone on the barrage was engaged in a tense discussion.
And Quinn also took a deep breath.
Having come this far, he knew how dangerous the terrain was, and he also knew that he should never underestimate any BOSS.
Today, this is the lowest level of Ashina.
A boss who can control such a large village is definitely not a good guy.
Gulu-gulu-gulu-
Quinn was not a stingy guy, so he took fire-resistant medicine, poison-resistant medicine, fear-resistant medicine, persimmons, five-color rice, attack candy and strong body candy, and even rubbed a divine flying snow enchantment on the wedge pill.
All set!
Quinn gathered his strength and leaped down from the beam like a cheetah!
The wedge ball in his hand, which was flashing with fluorescent purple, was stabbed into the back of Kirigakure no Kyoujin!
"Just assassination! RUA!"
Puff——!!!
Because Kirigakure Takato had two blood lines, in order to quickly skip a stage and suffer less, Quinn chose assassination as his first attack.
Swish!
Ushimaru pulled out Kirigakure no Kyoujin's body, bringing out a long arrow of blood!
Quinn didn't dare to stay for too long. He took two steps and dodged, raising the wedge ball in his hand and shaking it up and down to prepare for the attack at any time!
Quinn's concerns are not unfounded.
Because at this moment, the nobleman Wuyin had obviously suffered a serious blow, but he was still calm and turned around slowly.
At the same time, she took off the golden hairpin on her head.
That aura, that demeanor, that calm and composed movement.
All of this made Quinn look serious and alarm bells rang in his heart!
hiss--
What a calm BOSS!
It seems that this battle is not destined to be easy...
