I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man - Chapter 219
c212 Stonewell! Silence all designers around the world
“What the fuck…ugh!”
…
“I still don’t believe it…ah!”
…
“Have a rough time with him… Ouch!”
…
Czcu, who threatened to kill the Crucible Knight in ten rounds, has died more than ten times now.
Witnessed by countless spectators, he died, resurrected, and died.
In this scene, what everyone sees the most is the big tree guard at the beginning of the game.
After his death, Czcu was even numb.
I can’t get through it, no matter how hard I try, I can’t get through it.
Although this elite monster’s moves look neat, they are extremely uncomfortable to fight.
He has too many offensive stances, which can be very deceptive at times.
For example, he would sometimes stretch his legs forward and step on them.
You thought he was about to release a ground-shaking attack, and you planned to roll on the spot to avoid this attack.
But they actually just made a horse stance, and then slashed down with a steady knife. At this time, the player just finished rolling and stood up.
Sometimes he would swing his sword forward and strike three times.
After you understand his move, use your roll to avoid his three consecutive slashes, just when you are about to attack with your backhand.
He immediately continued to charge with a shield, and the top players couldn’t stop.
Although there was a barrage to remind Czcu that other anchors tried to counterattack with shield, so he could also practice shield counterattack.
The anti-reflection thing is different from the anti-reflection that Czcu prefers to use.
If we talk about counterattack, wait for the opponent’s sword to hit the player’s shield, and then the player will bounce the shield to attack.
On the other hand, the shield will directly block the opponent’s attack when he sees that he is about to strike with his sword!
As long as the shield rebellion succeeds, execution will inevitably take place.
Although the returns are high, they are also accompanied by high risks.
Once the shield counterattack fails, it is equivalent to taking a solid blow from the opponent.
Czcu tried several times but failed.
And the Furnace Knight’s attack power is terrifyingly high.
Two swords can take away the player’s health bar.
He simply gave up resisting with a shield and honestly chose to roll to dodge.
Then.
The problem comes again.
Czcu found.
The Crucible Knight seems to be able to read the player’s instructions to drink potion.
He has encountered it several times.
As long as you try to distance yourself from the opponent and raise your hand to drink the medicine, the opponent will rush up and give you a slap in the face.
Vomit as much as you drink.
The blood volume is never enough.
“It feels like… the pressure this guy brings to me is greater than the pressure exerted by big trees or even bad omens…” Czcu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
No matter how bad the bad omen and the big tree guard are, the player can at least stand out and replenish his health.
But facing the Knights of the Furnace.
The player always maintains a semi-disabled state and fights with high pressure.
However, the good news is.
Through repeated deaths more than a dozen times.
Czcu is not without any improvements.
From the initial panic, to the first glimpse after five or six consecutive sudden deaths.
Now, after more than a dozen sudden deaths, he has achieved some success.
You can even avoid most of the opponent’s attacks by rolling.
And as long as the player is not too greedy.
The opponent’s set of combos will definitely reveal flaws for a few seconds.
At this time, it is the best time for players to output!
The damage is just not enough to see, so you need to maintain high concentration and slowly grind through it.
“I suspect that I must have surpassed my level to fight this BOSS…”
“But it’s not important!”
“By defeating him, I will be one step closer to becoming a king!” After being resurrected for the Nth time, Czcu cheered himself up.
Resurrect from the blessing point of the city wall tower, walk through the War Eagle Corridor with ease, then jump on the raised side platform and fall straight down.
Again!
While on the road, Czcu shared with the audience the interesting points he had just discovered.
“Brothers, I wonder if you have noticed.”
“Didn’t I just say that the weak guidance of the number one player is too weak, and ordinary people may not be able to discover this hidden path?”
“After repeating it a dozen times, I realized that I was wrong.”
“Actually, the designer gave us guidance. Arrange a hidden war eagle here so that players cannot kill it through archery from a long distance.”
“Once the player passes by, the War Eagle will launch a surprise attack. In order to stay away from the surrounding explosive barrels during the avoidance process, the player will basically subconsciously move towards this small raised platform.”
“When the War Eagle is in mid-air, players cannot attack him directly, so most of them will choose to jump.”
“During the jump attack, no matter whether it was a chaotic battle, it would kick it down.”
“The camera still shakes following the flight path of the war eagle.”
“You will most likely notice that there is a small platform below.”
“This feeling of not relying on external objects, but giving prompts to players through the scene itself, is really nothing out of the ordinary.”
“This kind of subtle nudge will not overwhelm the others, nor will there be a nanny-style guidance of ‘I, the designer, told the player that there is a road here’. Instead, it will give the player a sense of ‘Ah, this is a hidden road that I discovered myself.'” A sense of surprise.”
“But everyone knows that all of this is under the control of the engraver. I can only say that this kind of weak guidance is really clever.”
After a brief critical review, Czcu battled the Furnace Knight again!
This time, he skillfully used rolling to dodge most of the Furnace Knight’s attacks.
And when drinking medicine, you must keep a long distance away to ensure that the opponent sprinting can’t touch you before you touch the medicine bottle.
With difficulty, his blood volume was reduced to less than half.
“This is a great hope!!” Czcu just gave him a stern look.
The result is the next moment.
I saw the Furnace Knight leaping into the sky with all his strength, and a pair of wings like golden holy light appeared behind him!
Second stage, open!
The next moment, it dives directly towards the player! !
“Buzz!!”
Like a fighter jet gliding close to the ground at high speed, while driving the strong wind to hunt, it also took away the blood line of Czcu who was unable to dodge.
Looking at the gray and black screen.
The sudden second stage stunned Czcu on the spot.
After his lips wriggled a few times, his eyes went dark, and his body lay straight against the back of the chair.
The screen refresh speed of the barrage also reached its peak at this moment.
“The main package collapsed! (Sad)”
“He’s dead, it’s all your fault! (Pointing to the Furnace Knight)”
“Okay, okay! In my lifetime, I finally saw a game that the anchor dedicated his life to playing.”
“The fader is dead, and so is the anchor. Now it’s a double blessing!”
“Don’t panic, watch me give the anchor a deathrattle!”
During the barrage of ridicule, Czcu got up from the chair and scratched his head with a depressed expression.
“Why does an elite monster have a second stage? Why didn’t you tell me earlier… I’m really numb.”
The barrage laughed.
“Knight of the Furnace: I wonder if you asked me if I have a second stage.”
“Knight of the Furnace: You can’t beat me to the second stage even after dying more than a dozen times. Do you blame me?”
“It’s hilarious. It’s so fun to watch anchors break defenses. I can watch this game all day long! The anchors are either breaking defenses or on the way to breaking defenses. They never worry about the program being ineffective.”
“Gravograph is really good at playing games!”
“Seeing now, I have to buy it and give it to my good buddy, because yesterday he was still saying that the current action games are too simple. /Insidious/Insidious”
“Huh…” Czcu took a deep breath.
If you can barely pass the first stage.
Then the emergence of the second stage means that there are new changes in the tricks.
If you continue to be reckless, as long as you accumulate enough deaths, sooner or later you will be able to use your rich experience to kill the Furnace Knight on the spot.
But that would be too boring.
The audience could still enjoy watching the sudden death several dozen times.
But after dozens or even hundreds of sudden deaths, the audience will lose patience.
Czcu can sit in the position of the head game anchor. In addition to having a high understanding of the game, he also takes into account the effect of the program.
He pursed his lips.
“Forget it, let’s not fight this… We just noticed that there is another way through the stone door behind the Furnace Knight.”
“Now that you’re here, let’s explore this hidden road first and see where it leads.”
Resurrection again.
Just like Czcu said.
He chose to bypass the Crucible Knight.
However, he ignored the powerful hatred value of the Furnace Knight.
He ran wildly in front, while the Furnace Knight pursued him with a sword.
As he walked through the stone door, he plunged from an open space into a hut that he had never been to before.
Czcu was immediately ecstatic!
In front of me is a lift platform!
“Bye, let’s go, buddy!”
Czcu waved to the approaching Furnace Knight behind him and stepped on the mechanism in the middle.
“Click.” The elevator slowly moved upwards, carrying the Faded One who was about to leave.
“Tsk!” Upon seeing this, the Furnace Knight’s AI performance seemed to be maximized.
A top-shield sprint is used to rush forward and close the distance instantly!
Then he swung his sword in a round motion and chopped off the faded man from the elevator!
The Faded One flew backwards and fell from the elevator.
Czcu looked at the elevator that was getting farther and farther away from him, and then looked at the Furnace Knight in front of him.
His face turned green.
“Ah this…”
“No…is this even okay?”
“Can you let me go…please, I really don’t want to fight you…”
Seeing this scene, the barrages all laughed.
“You brat, you’re in Professor Furnace’s class and you still want to skip class? Come down here!”
Ignoring the barrage and teasing, Czcu glanced at the current environment and quickly said with bright eyes.
“Family! I seem to have found a way!”
As he spoke, he pointed at the screen in front of him.
“Although the lift went up, it left a pit. If he was tricked into the pit, could he fall to his death directly?”
With that said, Czcu planned to give it a try.
But soon, he was disappointed.
Crucible Knight’s AI is a bit high.
No matter how Czcu seduces him, the opponent will always move close to the edge of the square pit and will not take the initiative to rush into the pit.
Although there is a pit between the two of them, Czcu will not be in danger for a while.
But he was stuck in a small room by the Knight of the Furnace, unable to get out, and unable to teleport.
I was immediately embarrassed.
“Wait a minute… I have another plan!” Czcu said excitedly, as if he had thought of something.
“This guy, if I remember correctly, he seems to like reading the player’s instructions for drinking blood bottles, right?”
“As soon as the player takes medicine, he will rush forward desperately to interrupt the player.”
“In that case…” Czcu looked at the deep pit at his feet, and then at the Furnace Knight opposite.
Suddenly he smiled maliciously.
In front of each other.
He reached out and slowly took out the blood bottle.
It’s just a joy!
The Crucible Knight had been stuck on the edge and was rubbing, but when he saw the player take out the blood bottle.
Suddenly he became furious.
Damn it, you are not allowed to drink in class!
Immediately, he drew his sword and sprinted straight towards the player!
But he quickly missed the mark and fell directly into the bottomless pit.
Czcu also looked down and after confirming that he was dead, a smile appeared on his lips.
“Look, it’s urgent.”
The presentation of this scene also made the barrage frantically raise question marks.
“????”
“ah?”
“Is this even okay?”
“Good guy, everyone is skipping classes, why don’t you just drop out of school?”
“It’s okay if you don’t want to read this book! (Throw)”
“Awesome! I learned it!”
At this point, Czcu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway.
Finally defeated this difficult enemy.
Never mind how it was killed.
Just tell me whether he is dead or not!
After killing the Crucible Knight, the player was given a reward of 3,000 runes.
Although the money is not much, it can only be used to upgrade half a level.
But in addition, this guy also exploded a prayer from [The Corner of the Furnace].
After equipping it, use it.
A dragon tail will appear behind the faded person, and then it will sweep around in a circle!
The scope is quite large.
Czcu estimates that it is a fairly powerful ability.
He looked around again.
Found a lever-type mechanism.
After starting up, the elevator that had just gone up slowly descended again.
Ride again and go straight up.
After passing through several floors, Czcu was brought to a place similar to an attic.
Moreover, he discovered unexpectedly.
Getok, the doorman who suggested him to take the path in the first place, was also in the attic.
His back was turned to him, rustling, doing something to the body of a dead soldier.
If you get close to talk to it, the other person will be obviously startled and ask in a panic why the player is here.
Then he explained his behavior vaguely.
He said that he was just cleaning up the corpses, saying that if the corpses were left alone, they would definitely rot and stink here.
Czcu took a closer look and realized it.
This old man was actually pulling out the corpse’s fingers and putting it in his pocket.
It also reminds me that the nickname of the lord of Stonewell City is “Extended Limb” Greg.
“Good guy, everyone in this city is perverted, right?”
“The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.”
However, this Lao Deng has not shown any obvious hostility towards him at present.
Czcu did not attack him rashly.
Instead, continue to explore the path forward.
To be honest, it has been such a big circle of twists and turns.
It’s platform jumping again, and it’s the Crucible Knight again.
Then take the elevator again.
He now had no idea where he was.
However, when walking down the circular staircase at the attic.
Czcu’s expression became increasingly weird.
This place…
“I think I’ve been here before?”
“Come, have you been here?”
He muttered to himself uncertainly and walked around again.
Until I passed through a door and saw a blessing point that was glowing not far away.
Czcu felt as if he was enlightened, and his eyes widened subconsciously.
“Shit bro!”
Here is the blessing point he had just activated, the city wall tower!
Instantly, an electric current coursed through his body.
My scalp felt slightly numb for a moment.
An indescribable sense of wonder flowed through his limbs, eventually transforming into rich expression changes.
“OMG!!”
“Holy shit!!”
“It’s fucking crazy!!!”
Although he used several exclamations in succession, he still could not fully express the shock in Czcu’s heart.
It was hard for him to describe what it felt like.
But at the moment when I saw the blessing point of the city wall tower.
moment!
The road we just walked.
Those winding and foggy roads.
At this moment, it was like a three-dimensional architectural map, printed directly and clearly in his brain!
Even with his eyes closed and no longer needing a map, he could now instantly know where he had just walked.
Go out from the blessing point of the city wall tower, turn left, and come to the War Eagle Corridor.
Then jump along the raised platform on the left and come to the edge of the cliff.
The road below seems to be filled with all kinds of jumping music.
It’s actually a circuitous path back.
Go back all the way and go through the stone door where the Crucible Knight is.
Then you can take the elevator back to the back of the blessing point.
In other words, the location of the Furnace Knight is actually at the foot of the Blessing Point!
When you realize this.
Czcu’s eyes became brighter and brighter.
The idea that he complained just now that Number One Player couldn’t design cabinets has long since disappeared.
Engraving designers are not incompetent.
On the contrary, he is subverting Blue Star’s current traditional box garden.
He is playing with a very new design concept of a small garden!
Let players measure the land with their feet!
The traditional box garden game on Blue Star, although there are also elements of exploration.
But they all belong to the kind of exploration of “taking a key from point A and going to point B to open it”.
This setting basically eliminates the possibility of a three-dimensional box garden.
In other words, it can be three-dimensional, but it cannot be reused.
For example.
After players explore the first floor in the traditional box garden, they get the key and open the door to the second floor.
Then at this time, this first layer is no longer needed by the player.
The designer will focus on the second layer.
Then the third level, the fourth level, and so on.
This cyclical and progressive approach will not let players get lost.
This allows players to clearly understand where they are and where they are going.
This is very important and is the common starting point for all designers of Blue Star’s box games.
Therefore, all the designs of the small garden before “Elden” were consistent.
It seems to be a small garden-like structure, but in fact the exploration process is still linear.
But Czcu is currently speaking from his own experience.
The biggest feeling the ring-shaped box garden gave him was.
Buildings can be reused, run forward and backward, and can even circle around from other places and eventually return to the starting point.
Players may not know where they are at first.
But as long as you run through it once, the entire map will appear clearly in your mind instantly!
This will undoubtedly enhance the player’s immersion.
“This design idea… is amazing!”
“It’s not that the engraving designer can’t do a good job, it’s just that I didn’t understand what the engraving designer meant just now…”
“My own version is lagging behind.” Czcu smacked his forehead with some annoyance, even regretting that he had said something so hasty and shameless just now, and in front of so many viewers.
At this point, the last doubts about “Elden’s Ring” disappeared with the unraveling of the new box garden design concept.
Various words of exclamation floated across the barrage that filled the screen.
Czcu plans to continue exploring Stonewell.
I want to see such a big castle.
Can Ready Player One really implement this new design sense throughout?
This time, go out and continue to turn left.
Instead of choosing the War Eagle Corridor, he took a running jump towards the roof next to him.
Landing right on the eaves is quite thrilling.
This also further proves that this path is still carefully designed by the number one player, rather than being figured out by the player’s bug-like exploration.
After reaching the eaves, he turned right and within two steps, he encountered a war eagle that was larger and attacked more fiercely.
Fortunately, Czcu had already been tortured by Teacher Furnace for nearly 20 minutes.
Now let’s deal with this monster with obvious moves.
After holding on to death and being replaced by the opponent, some health was lost, and he quickly figured out the opponent’s attack method.
After beheading him and taking him away.
Continue forward along the eaves.
In the process of moving forward.
Czcu found that the top player also put a lot of design effort into the roof.
It’s not just a traditional way of connecting a few roofs together and letting players run around.
on the contrary.
The connection between these roofs is also very particular.
Some of the roofs will extend directly to the outside edges of the towers.
The one built around the tower seems to only be able to accommodate a circle of decorative buildings where the player stands on one foot against the wall.
But it is the only way to another roof.
After reaching another roof, you will be taken to a farther and more rounded place by the upward or downward ladders placed next to it.
But Czcu, who already knows the design concept of the Ready Player One map, will no longer have the frustration of getting lost.
He feels safe and aware now.
The engraving designer will always point him to a clear path.
And the roads I have been lost on now are also the process of experiencing the map design with my heart.
This kind of resonance between players and designers is something that few games can express concretely, or even allow players to clearly feel.
After walking around the roofs and towers of Stonewell City, Czcu was more and more impressed by the exquisite and three-dimensional box garden design.
What’s even more clever is that players always seem to be able to say ‘I seem to have been to this place before’ or ‘Ouch!’ intentionally or unintentionally. Isn’t this where it was just now? ’ A sense of enlightenment.
You don’t even know when Ready Player One implanted this feeling in you.
But this is undoubtedly a reflection of players having a good sense of immersion.
Only if you really get into the game and experience the game seriously.
Only then will you have a deep impression of the place you visited.
Right now, Czcu was crossing a wooden bridge connecting two towers.
Looking down at the ground below, it suddenly dawned on me.
He has been to this place again!
However, when I came here, I didn’t take this path, nor did I take this perspective.
At the very beginning of the game, when you first enter Stonewell City.
Most players who have just killed a bad omen and are in high spirits will ask the guard to open the door.
Then he will be shot out from nowhere, but it feels like there are ambushes from all directions, and the arrows will hit him to pieces. His energy will be swept away, and then he will walk on the trail honestly.
And the suspension bridge he is standing on now is directly opposite the gate!
Only from this perspective, from a city trespasser.
Become an internal observer.
Wherever he looked, the ambush at the gate of Stonewell City was completely visible from his overlooking perspective!
With just one glance, Czcu realized how foolish his act of breaking through the city gate just now was.
On this road leading to the city, there are three lines of defense!
The first line of defense is guarded by archers densely packed in bunkers on high platforms on both sides.
They were counted in twenty or thirty, and they were all staring at the gate.
If any one person breaks in alone, since the archers are standing on the high platform, the intruders at the lower level cannot clear it out immediately.
It will only be shot into a sieve.
And even though this trespasser was really invulnerable, he was packed with physical resistance and rushed in with all his strength.
Then the second round of defense will make him even more painful.
A gate was set up in the defense line, and there was a small corridor.
Players can only enter through the corridor, and the scope of activities will be narrowed the moment they enter.
The melee soldiers ambushing on both sides will jump out of the haystacks.
Among them were three more well-equipped guys holding giant axes.
Surround the players from the front and back of the corridor, forcing the players into an urn to catch turtles, and close the door to beat the dogs.
If the player is still stubborn, he can really fight his way out of this line of defense.
Then the third line of defense will cause players to collapse instantly!
Dense wooden pointed fences cover the large square in front of Stonewell in steps.
However, a flamethrower device was set up in the gap between the fences.
A dozen flamethrowers were manned by soldiers behind the fence.
There are also many explosive barrels placed in front of the fence.
You know, to be able to withstand so many physical injuries all the way up, the players are basically equipped with physical resistance equipment.
Once the player rushes up, what awaits him is scorching flames and roaring explosions!
Players who have no time to cut equipment or change buffs for themselves will basically be in a state of breaking when faced with these elemental magic damage.
This made Czcu, who was standing on the suspension bridge silently looking down below, take a breath of cold air.
The design of this castle looks like it was built strictly according to the actual ancient military castle!
The city of Stonewell itself is a natural barrier standing on the top of a mountain, and the invaders want to reach the castle.
You must go all the way up the avenue and pass the front of the level.
Pass the Digging Troll, and then pass the Bad Omen.
Then we have to pass through the first, second and third lines of defense.
Even if this configuration is placed today with advanced technological power, it will cause a lot of trouble for some intruders.
“‘Elden’ feels like a lot of effort has been put into the architecture. These buildings seem to have really taken into account their practicality in reality, and are not just for the sake of beauty or domineering in the game.” Czcu lamented. One sentence.
But nothing.
Your gate to Stonewell City is difficult to break through.
But what does it have to do with me?
In terms of where Czcu is currently standing.
All these difficulties and obstacles are not a problem!
because.
These soldiers all have their backs to him now!
The flames of revenge are burning!
Start massacring the city!
Jump off the suspension bridge and fall behind the third layer of defense.
Start working backwards to clear the guards along the entire city gate avenue.
These soldiers focused their attention on the direction of the city gate.
Czcu squatted down and walked slowly forward, stabbing each of them in the back one by one.
One poke made no sound.
The pleasure of revenge surged strongly in my heart.
I told you to shoot your father with an arrow just now!
die! Die to me!
After spending some time quickly clearing away the surrounding obstacles.
When Czcu turned back to the Castle Square again.
Feeling refreshed.
But the next moment.
His pupils suddenly shrank several times.
Just at the back of the square, it seems to be the direction leading to the location of the BOSS.
There is also a larger, fat brother whose appearance is somewhat similar to the Omen that he defeated before.
There is also a large corpse-turned hound crawling beside him.
I want to enter the BOSS hinterland from this direction.
We need to deal with these two guys who don’t seem to be easy to mess with first.
Calm down.
Czcu tightened his grip on the hound tusk in his hand.
He walked towards the fat brother with firm steps.
But half a minute later.
He was beaten by this man and a dog, causing him to run around and roll all over the ground.
In terms of single combat power, these two are actually far worse than Teacher Furnace.
But when one person and one dog attack together, the attack frequency is like two gears, so that the player cannot find any space to attack except to dodge.
In order to avoid sudden death, the soldiers on the three-layer defense line that had been cleared just now were refreshed again.
This would also prevent him from losing the more than 20,000 runes he had finally accumulated in this dangerous place.
Czcu had to yell and crawl all the way.
Finally, he discovered a small arched door on the left that looked like the entrance to a cellar.
Without saying a word, he dived right in.
But as soon as he got in, Czcu’s face turned green.
good news.
The hatred of the fat brother outside the door seemed to be shaken off.
bad news……
What the hell are these mice all over the house…
This small, dark room is indeed a cellar. It can be judged from the surrounding scene decorations, which are filled with wine barrels and racks for making dried meat.
But right now, the three rats with sinister looks on their faces deserve more attention.
These rats are almost the size of a real-life medium-sized dog, and their bodies are covered with wounds that ooze pus and scab.
It’s disgusting just to look at it.
Czcu swallowed and looked at his blood volume, which was no longer healthy.
The mice didn’t waste much time and pounced on him, chirping.
One person and several rats instantly got into a fight.
Three Rats Ring King!
After a fierce battle, Czcu fell to the ground seriously injured.
The 2w Yu Luen in his possession was also exploded with gold coins on the spot.
This burden was so heavy that Czcu was reluctant to part with it.
After resurrection, he strode around seven times and eight times, and came to the place where he died suddenly.
This time he did not choose to clear the three layers of defense, nor did he provoke Fat Brother.
Instead, he walked secretly against the wall, then rushed into the cellar, picked up the rune, and ran away.
If I remember correctly.
I just came here for the first time and had a chaotic fight with my fat brother.
He found that there was a door nearby that he could enter.
Just to the left of the cellar door.
While rushing on the road, Czcu discovered something strange.
“Huh?”
“Why do I have less money?”
“I remember clearly just now that there were 20,000 runes.”
“Why is there only 1w4 left now?”
“Did those damn rats just steal the money from me?”
Hearing this, the barrages couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Mouse: Oh, yes, yes, I stole it all. Anyway, just throw the blame on me and that’s it. Who can throw the blame away from you?”
“It was indeed stolen by rats, I can prove it. Because rat, rat, I like money the most – love comes from Pili Station”
“Damn it, the rat stole it… I just reminded you that the money is low, so don’t watch the barrage yourself.”
Barrage complaints are complaints.
But it’s not surprising that Czcu would associate it so much.
Since entering the city gate, he didn’t have much money with him.
When you have money, you spend it as soon as possible.
Then he met the Crucible Knight, and he died suddenly many times in a row, so he disappeared long before he had time to pick up the runes.
So I didn’t notice whether the money was too little or not.
Even if it is less, it may be less than a few hundred, and you really won’t notice it if you don’t look carefully.
Although the barrage reminds me, the ingredients of the barrage…
There are always a lot of people having fun.
Sometimes anchors are often misled to deliberately commit suicide, deliberately go astray, etc. It’s not surprising.
So Czcu didn’t pay attention at first.
The 20,000 accumulated during the current exploration process is not a small amount of money. It is enough for him, who is already level 35, to upgrade 4 levels in a row.
It is immediately obvious that 6K is missing.
After watching some barrage explanations from other live broadcasts, Czcu finally understood.
It turned out that the doorman named Getok just did it secretly.
He was the one who stole the money, and he was the one who locked the faded man in a dark room and locked the door.
You old man, you bad thing!
I’ll find you to blast gold coins later!
For now, forget about the unpleasantness of losing the runes.
Go through the new door.
Several miscellaneous fish soldiers lurking here were eliminated.
After passing through another door.
Czcu came to an indoor hall that made his scalp numb.
The huge space is filled with neatly arranged long dining tables.
There were also some tableware on the table, as well as candlesticks emitting faint firelight.
A domineering portrait of the king is hanging on the wall.
A fire swayed in the hearth below.
This looks like a restaurant.
But if you just look up a little.
You will find that in the space above, there are countless severed limbs hanging on the beams.
The scene was as if there were all the wishing charms hung under the marriage tree.
And these severed limbs mostly come from humans or demi-humans.
What’s more, three arms or limbs are stuck together, like failed experiments.
In addition, human figures wrapped in shrouds were randomly discarded all over the ground, and they were piled into an arch in the corner.
This ghastly and bloody scene doubled the visual impact in the eyes of Czcu, who was already exploring cautiously.
What’s even worse is.
It seemed that he sensed an uninvited guest breaking in.
A giant crab-like object lurking in the darkness began to move.
When he rushes to Czcu.
His pupils suddenly shrank.
This guy!
He seems to have seen it before!
“Isn’t this the limb-stricken noble we met at the very beginning of the game… when we were still in the Prince’s Chapel?”
This nobleman, who retains the appearance of a human except for his head, has all kinds of ugly creatures with limbs attached to his body.
It did leave quite a psychological shadow on the players when they first met.
And at this time, the terrain where players can move is even narrower than it was then.
When the grafted nobleman crawled towards Czcu on his hands and feet, he let out a strange scream and roar.
The feeling of oppression is even stronger.
Czcu really doesn’t want to die in a place like this.
Because since he set off from the city wall tower, he has gone around and around and knows how far he has left.
Once he dies suddenly, it will undoubtedly be very painful to make another trip back to pick up the runes.
make a prompt decision.
Don’t fight this guy!
Being chased by the prosthetic noble, Czcu ran around and hid while quickly scanning his surroundings to find a way out.
The prosthetic hall is small only compared to the amputee nobles, but it is accessible in all directions for players.
The exit on the upper left is the way Czcu came from. Outside is Stonewell’s main entrance square. Not to mention the defense forces, there is also Fat Brother, who can’t go there.
The exit on the upper right is a spiral staircase. There are also several soldiers holding the handles here. In addition, the nobles with limbs behind them are getting closer and closer, so it is not suitable for forcing the entrance.
The exit on the lower left is a small open-air space, but it seems to be a dead end. At the end of the line of sight, you can only see a statue of a goddess and a closed white mist door, making it temporarily impossible to enter.
As for the lower right exit, it has the same structure as the lower left. It seems to be a place where failed experimental products are piled. There are several wild dogs that are eating carrion. There is also a huge stone-digging troll hanging upside down above, with legs and hands. All parts of the body were chopped off, as if they were also used as test subjects for limb grafting.
The prosthetic nobles were chasing him closer and closer, but Czcu had nowhere to go.
In panic, he suddenly discovered.
The huge portrait stood against the swaying wall.
There is a small arched door!
There were two torches stuck at the door.
At first, it is easy to be ignored by players as a candlestick.
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
He rushed towards the archway, and at the last moment the limb-repairing noble pounced on him.
He rolled on the spot and got directly into the small arch.
I accidentally stepped on a trap.
The platform under his feet suddenly began to rise.
Seeing the impotent and furious man who was blocked outside the arch, he frantically slashed at the wall with his sword.
Czcu breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fuck! The sense of oppression brought by this place is too strong…”
“Let me save it quickly.”
“It’s a good idea to spend all the 20,000 yuan you have and come over to explore.”
And the moment he finished speaking.
“Click.”
After the platform is fastened to the ground of the superstructure.
Czcu’s vision froze again.
This place…
This environment…
Isn’t this the familiar city wall tower blessing point that looks like my own back garden?
He actually returned to the city wall tower? ?
“NONONONONO…Oh god! Oh please!” The corners of Czcu’s eyes were beating wildly, and the corners of his mouth were gasping for breath. His heart was indescribably shocked, and he couldn’t help but screamed.
“What the hell????”
Originally, the blessing point of the city wall tower could connect a fork in the road to form a three-dimensional winding circle, which already stunned Czcu and the audience in the live broadcast room.
This time, Czcu himself couldn’t even describe how far he had come.
After exiting, sprint and jump on the right side.
Go up to the roof and around the edge of the tower.
Clean up the miscellaneous soldiers along the way.
Cross the suspension bridge again.
Collected some miscellaneous props.
After that, he jumped off the suspension bridge and cleared the three layers of defense in front of the gate.
Another rat’s nest.
Then he plunged into the prosthetic hall.
With nowhere to go, he had a strong will to survive.
I accidentally stumbled into an archway.
After starting the machine…
Are you fucking back to square one? ? ?
A generous gift crab! !
The wonderful feeling that all roads lead to Rome suddenly flooded into Czcu’s mind.
The barrage in the live broadcast room also exploded again and again at this moment.
“Fuck!! Carry!!”
“Awesome!! How the hell did you make this map? Isn’t the design so awesome???”
“Extended in all directions… This is really connected in all directions!”
“No matter where you start, no matter how lost you are, you can eventually come back here??”
“Use one point to cleverly combine two different paths? How can Hakoba play like this??”
“And you can also walk in reverse! Just now, the player could only reach the limb joint hall by taking a long way around. Now after this mechanism is activated, the player only needs to take the elevator in the small room and go directly to the limb joint hall, which is equivalent to Created a shortcut!”
“My scalp is numb! I have never seen such a shocking structure of the small garden!!”
“This is simply a work of art!! Unparalleled work of art! It deeply impacted me spiritually!”
“It’s broken. Gravograph used a very despicable method to put Stonewell’s map model into my mind! The structure of the entire castle instantly became three-dimensional to me!”
Use the fewest save points to take players on the most complicated path!
But it can leave the deepest impression on players!
The charm of the ring-shaped box garden completely explodes at this moment!
And what’s even more amazing is.
Czcu was taking a break and changed the runes in his hands to levels.
Take the elevator downstairs and spend some time killing the limb-sparing noble.
After wandering around this seemingly complicated castle for a while.
Only then did he truly understand it.
What kind of small garden is “Elden Ring” doing?
Depart from War Eagle Promenade.
This time, instead of jumping off the small platform next to it, go straight forward.
After clearing all the war eagles, you will find that there is still a way forward.
It is built directly on the roof of other buildings.
Turn left on the roof, follow a round tower, and then climb down the ladder.
If you go forward, you will meet a magician named Roger, who is an NPC trapped in Stonewell City.
Go back and you will enter a small study room.
There is a homeless knight guarding the study.
After killing it, you can open the opposite door.
outside the door.
It is the road leading to the second floor of the prosthesis hall.
Once you reach the Hall of Limbs, it means that this path is still covered by the blessing point of the wall tower.
This blessing point has closed another path!
And if you go from the main square of the castle, kill the fat brother and then go up the steps and turn left.
You will come to a broken area.
That is, the floor that was supposed to be divided into the second floor and the first floor was penetrated by external forces.
Hidden in the shadows at the back of this area are several small warrior pots.
As for the area ahead, you can know the advice left by your good brother. If you stick to the wall and pass through the window here.
Then enter a long, wall-hugging dance queen.
You will come to a new area.
Deep underground in Stonewell City.
A large number of ruins can be seen in this area.
It seems that when Godfrey attacked Storm City (the predecessor of Stonewell), he severely damaged the castle and smashed various building fragments, which were piled up here.
At the same time, you will also encounter the hidden BOSS of Stonewell City in this area.
Rotten tree spirit.
After defeating it and moving forward, players will see a big face close to the surface.
It looks like an octopus with an indescribable ancient god-like face, and is more than dozens of meters long and wide.
Players will pick up a talisman called [Dead Prince’s Abscess] here.
You can find out by reading the item details.
After the original deceased Godwin was killed by the power of destined death on the night of the Black Knife Conspiracy, he became a dead person with a dead soul and a living body.
But in the borderland governed by the Golden Law, the blessed people will follow a set of life laws unique to the Golden Law.
That is, all things are born → → receive the grace and blessing power given by the golden tree → → grow, and the overflowing residual power turns into runes → → after death, all things will return to the tree → → the golden tree combines the dew and blessings from the deceased Blessing recycling.
This completes a life cycle cycle.
And Godwin, after being assassinated. Although the soul dies, the body is immortal.
It has become an extremely special state.
So much so that the golden tree still judges it to be alive and continues to provide blessings with nutrients.
A life without a soul, after absorbing a steady stream of energy, will naturally grow as wildly as tree roots, taking root and growing everywhere.
At this point, the corpse of the dead prince began to spread everywhere in the deep roots of the royal city of Rodel.
Players will see the huge octopus face at the bottom of Stonewell City. It is also the result of the dead prince’s continuous expansion of nutrients.
After the player understands another fragmented plot.
You can go underground near the dead prince and slowly climb up a very, very long ladder.
The climbing process takes about a minute.
When players come up, they will find that there is no road in front of them.
You can only jump off the high platform.
After jumping down, you will come to a small open-air enclosed area.
In front of him is a statue of a goddess.
Yes.
This is a place that players will immediately realize if they explore carefully.
This goddess statue is the one at the lower left exit of the limb replacement hall.
And returning to the prosthetic hall means.
Take the elevator in the lobby to go up.
Will return to the blessing point of the city wall tower!
A line has been closed again!
The more Czcu played, the more shocked he became.
This kind of design concept can summarize almost most of the routes in the castle using only one save point.
Simply astonishing!
The benefits of this design are obvious.
Players can explore the entire castle as long as they don’t die suddenly.
Theoretically, it can be shot to the end in one shot!
That is, there is no need to use the transfer function at all.
You can go anywhere, and you can come back anywhere!
This undoubtedly greatly increases the sense of real experience.
Because in reality tourists cannot teleport when visiting the castle.
In this way, when the player is in Stonewell City.
It feels like you are actually exploring a historic castle.
This brings a sense of immersion that Czcu has never experienced in any game before.
“OMG!! This map is so well designed! I’m speechless!” After Czcu walked around for several more times and collected most of the things in the city, the shock in his heart still couldn’t calm down for a short time.
“What kind of game is Ready Player One playing?”
“The unique ring-style aesthetics, ring-style combat, ring-style open world, ring-style plot, and now in Stonewell City, players can see the endless ring-style box garden design!”
“Each of these settings can be used individually to create a game with a good reputation!”
“But the designer integrated it all into one game!”
“I would call “Elden’s Ring” the greatest game in the history of Blue Star!”
“It’s so exquisite that it’s almost like a work of art! It’s a hymn to the ninth art!”
“I really love Ready Player One and I also love Cartoon Designer!”
It wasn’t just Czcu who was blushing and shouting with emotion.
The barrage at the scene also surged like boiling water.
“The design of this small garden is ridiculously strong!”
“It directly redefined Hakoba! I would call it the strongest in history!”
“After experiencing the design of Stonewell City, I only have one feeling… let Gravograph design the imperial tomb. After the project is completed, he will definitely fill it in and bury it with him/smirk”
“Buried with him? This doesn’t directly kill the nine tribes! You can steal the entire tomb for me with just one blessing point. Which emperor wouldn’t be scared after seeing it? / Dog Head”
“I have to say that it is no longer an honor for the game company to play such a well-designed game, but an honor for the players!”
“Couldn’t agree more!”
“Damn it, go and place an order now! Take out the lucky money I saved during the New Year and put it in hard!”
After calming down his excitement for a while, he glanced at the barrage of Czcu and rubbed his hands again.
“Okay, today’s live broadcast lasted for eight or nine hours. Now that we have defeated the final BOSS, Greg, the broadcast is almost over!”
Czcu had made all kinds of preparations.
Think about it.
Players encounter so many obstacles and obstacles on their way to Stonewell.
Now I can finally meet the demigod BOSS Greg.
How powerful will this BOSS be?
bring it on!
I’m mentally prepared to suffer!
Before entering the BOSS fog door, first summon an assisting NPC given by the official next door!
Perhaps considering that the game is too difficult, in order to reduce players’ frustration.
“Elden” still gives players many ways to skip class.
Among them, during some BOSS battles, players can summon an NPC related to the plot on the dark golden mark on the surrounding ground before entering the fog door to assist the player in the battle.
Czcu also learned from the barrage reminder that when playing bad omen, there is an NPC named Roger in front of the fog door who can be summoned.
This NPC is also the person that the player will encounter when exploring Stonewell City after defeating Omen. After talking to him, he can bring him back to the Great Blessing and learn magic skills from him.
Having missed this NPC, Czcu does not intend to miss the next one.
Come out! The female warrior Neferi!
Come out! Jellyfish girl Kulala!
The golden tree makes an oath and opens!
Attack and defense improved!
Another sip of the Dettol potion can temporarily increase the damage reduction rate.
The right hand holds a +9 level hound tusk.
The left hand holds a +6 brass shield.
Czcu, wearing a knight’s armor, stepped into the fog door fully armed.
The prelude to the battle with the demigod monarch whom he had heard about for a long time and finally met, the limb-replacer Greg!
But what left Czcu a little speechless.
This guy sounds very high-level and is even known as a demigod in the border area.
The appearance looks very ugly…
Some of them look like the limb-prosthetic nobles I met just now.
But the huge body has more arms and legs than the prosthetic noble.
After taking off the cloak, the limbs and joints all over his back were moving wildly, which made him look very dissapointed.
But apart from losing san.
He doesn’t have the heroic spirit of a king city lord at all.
On the contrary, he looks like a person who will do whatever it takes to pursue the ultimate power.
This is even more true in actual combat.
This guy is more of a bad omen than defending the city.
Even the guards on the big tree outside the city gate felt stronger than him.
Almost all of Greg’s moves are various charged attacks with a giant axe.
The positioning of the charged attack and the delay knife are not the same.
The so-called delayed knife means that the player feels that the opponent is about to chop, but in fact the opponent will use some detailed movements and forward movements to pause slightly before making a move.
Then he took action again.
But the charged attack always maintains the charged state before taking action, so there is no threat in this process.
Then the damage slowly falls.
Players can easily dodge by rolling.
After some actual combat, Czcu felt that this was just the right product.
The damage of this BOSS is purely supported by numerical value. From a design perspective, it is crushed by Omen in all aspects.
However, after beating Greg to less than half health.
The opponent switches to the second stage.
The CG cutscene that pops up is quite bluffing.
I saw Greg screaming sharply after being forced back by the faded ones.
Afterwards, he left a message to the audience in the live broadcast room.
It’s a real saving grace.
Because he raised the giant ax and cut off his dominant arm with a painful howl!
While the blood was gushing out, Greg slowly walked towards the mummy of the giant dragon that was hanging upside down and had been dead for who knows how long.
“Ah, the mighty dragon…
Lend me your strength… ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Greg cut off the forearm of his arm and inserted it into the dragon’s head.
Accompanied by a cry of pain.
I saw him tearing off the faucet forcefully!
Immediately, the broken part of the arm quickly connected with the faucet.
Greg raised his dragon’s head and pointed his arm toward the sky, roaring loudly.
“Ancestors…
Please witness it! ! ! ”
The dragon head also sprayed out a blazing pillar of flame at this moment, and the flames soared into the sky!
“What the hell…?” Czcu’s eyes widened.
How the hell can this be connected to the faucet?
Good guy, where are you docking the external brain?
“It turns out the killer move is hidden in the second stage.”
“After connecting the faucet, the intensity may be completely different.”
“Next, I have to deal with it carefully!” As the midfield CG ended, Czcu’s eyes were stern.
But soon, Czcu’s serious expression turned into numbness.
no.
This Greg is too lazy…
After taking the lead, it becomes even weaker.
Especially when pointing the dragon’s head at the player to release the flame pillar.
Players only need to quickly roll around him.
You can stay in an absolutely safe area and enjoy the way he breathes fire like a leisurely stroll.
This charged flame magic lasts for several seconds.
This process is enough for the player to make several cuts.
With Czcu’s current damage, a few hound sword skills were enough to beat Greg until there was only a trace of blood left.
Seeing this, the barrages couldn’t hold back anymore.
“The least suspenseful episode.”
“By the time Greg’s charge is over, my phone will be out of battery.”
“My phone is out of battery? My sister is out of battery!”
“The guy in front of me told me that I was playing with my sister and running out of battery.”
“Isn’t this BOSS’s design a bit of a failure?”
“Indeed, the bad omens are so strong, why is it that a generation of city lords and kings are so rubbish?”
“Gravograph is being lazy, isn’t it? There is a bug in the program, and the order of bad omen and Greg has been reversed, but if the bug is running, don’t touch it/The dog’s head is holding flowers.”
Like many water friends, Czcu also feels that the design of the BOSS Greg is a bit strange.
Of course, this BOSS is not without any difficulty.
This is a tumbling practice that I have practiced with Teacher Furnace for a long time.
If you encounter this kind of charged monster again, it will not be easy to avoid it.
Plus the equipment enhancement level has gone up.
If normal players don’t have the patience to play in the open world, it’s a bad sign, and then they come to fight Grek after they’re done.
It will still be a little difficult.
But even if you don’t go through it all over again like yourself, you can probably get through it by basically dying three or five times.
Could it be that… there is really something wrong with the design?
But soon.
Czcu then realized.
The strength of this BOSS is relatively weak, and it is also part of the layout of “Elden”!
After killing Greg, the player will receive a prop called [Grek’s Big Rune].
This prop is slightly special, similar to a powerful BUFF.
After going to the Divine Grant Tower to activate it, it can give the player a temporary status of +5 levels in all attributes.
It is equivalent to temporarily giving players a 40-level upgrade in one go.
Can get quite a bit of numerical improvement.
However, the state will disappear after death. If you want to activate it again, you need to consume the more precious [Rune Arc].
It can be regarded as giving players more options to pass the level when facing some more powerful monsters.
In addition to the big rune, you will also get an item [Memory of Limb Grek].
After recalling, you can get a great blessing and go to the designated NPC to exchange for BOSS equipment and weapons.
besides.
After the player kills Grek.
You will see the old doorman named Getok who opened the door to the player in the first place, appearing at the location of Greg’s body.
He stepped on the king’s head and cursed.
Talk to him and you can also get information about some plot fragments.
Connect the dialogue with the detailed explanation of the [Big Rune] and [Memory] items obtained after killing Grek.
Then you can piece together a plot again.
During the period when the Golden Law was most powerful.
Godfrey, the first king of Eldon’s Circle, married the goddess Malika and gave birth to a son, Godwin.
That is the “initial dead” Godwin mentioned in the CG at the beginning of the game.
He is also the owner of the dead face that the player found at the bottom of the cliff in Stonewell City.
After Godwin’s father Godfrey was exiled and became a fader, and his mother Malika disappeared without a trace.
The Golden Law is crumbling, and the ancient dragon clan is waiting for an opportunity to attack the royal city of Rodel.
The eldest prince Godwin stood up and single-handedly re-maintained the stability of the law, reconciled with Gu Long and formed an alliance.
With this battle, he became the Golden King.
However, the good times did not last long. The Black Knife Assassin force lurking in the dark used the power of destined death to assassinate Godwin.
Turning it into a soulless dead creature.
At this point, the entire border area lost its king who unified the world.
The last shred of solidity of the Golden Law was destroyed.
Many forces are ready to move, and the border areas are in turmoil.
The demigods with the blood of the Golden Clan also began to attack the royal city, fighting for the broken Elden Ring. (can be understood as seizing political power)
The famous general “Shatterstar” Latarn was the first to bear the brunt and came to the royal city.
At this time, he was the one who took over the power of Wangcheng.
It is Godwin’s descendant – Greg.
However, perhaps he was shocked by General Broken Star’s unparalleled warrior spirit.
Greg, who obviously has the blood of the Golden Clan in his body and is the most orthodox successor of the Elden Circle, was scared to the point of losing his temper.
She put on makeup and became a female family member, fled overnight, and abandoned the royal city.
After escaping the royal city all the way to Stonewell.
Just as he took possession of this place, he met the Valkyrie Marlenia who was also preparing to attack the royal city.
Facing the Valkyrie who is also of demigod blood, Greg’s initial choice was to fight with her.
It’s just that the process of fighting can be described as a one-sided crushing.
Greg couldn’t even touch the Valkyrie.
The soldiers he commanded were also defeated when faced with the Corruption Knights under Valkyrie.
Feeling the fear of death, Greg once again showed his cowardice.
In order to survive, he did not hesitate to abandon the dignity of the orthodox golden bloodline and crawled on the ground to lick the boots of the Valkyrie.
In exchange for a cheap life.
After Valkyrie passed through Stonewell and led her troops to the royal city.
Greg’s reputation for cowardice has also spread throughout the border area.
Greg, who had brought shame to his ancestors, could not bear the humiliation.
He was determined to strengthen his own strength.
Not talented enough, he eventually embarked on an evil path – limb replacement.
Cut off the hands and feet of powerful warriors and insert them into your own body, so that their power can be infused into your body.
And using this method, he recruited a group of nobles who were also born noble but weak in nature.
Grant them the method of limb replacement and recruit them under their command.
Until the faded ones come to the door.
In order to once again increase his strength, Greg is preparing for a ritual to attach the dragon’s limbs.
After roughly understanding the plot.
Czcu looked at the guard who kept stepping on the dead Greg’s head, and suddenly he didn’t like it.
Especially after hearing him curse in a low voice that Greg was a dirty slug and a useless coward.
Czcu couldn’t bear it any longer and drew his knife directly, slashing Getok to the ground with several knives.
Blood splattered on the spot.
“No matter what, Greg is still a king. Even after death, it will not be the turn of a despicable villain like you to step on your head and insult you.” Czcu said disdainfully.
Czcu remembers it deeply.
When Greg entered the second stage just now, he tore off the dragon’s head with his strong hands and took it for himself. At least the words he shouted were, ‘Ancestors, please bear witness! ’
This shows that this cowardly descendant of the golden bloodline is still deeply ashamed of having brought shame to his ancestors.
And what is this Getok?
Follow the player secretly to steal runes.
He also locked the player in a small dark room to frame the player.
Although he said he disdained Greg’s behavior of limb-repairing.
But the forced janitor himself seems to be doing the same thing.
Czcu vaguely remembered that he had met this Lao Deng once in the city just now. At that time, he was in a panic collecting the fingers of the corpses of dead soldiers.
Czcu only felt disgusted by this kind of villain who was obviously a servant of Greg, but was a scumbag who took advantage of the situation and desecrated other people’s corpses after death.
However, after killing Getok.
Only then did Czcu realize.
It seemed like I was…unknowingly immersed in the world view depicted in this game.
You may even be aroused by some actions of NPCs in the game.
It seems that at this moment, he is no longer a player, but a faded person who has truly gone through thousands of dangers and is ready to ascend the throne.
Czcu, who realized this, couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
“Even though I’ve said it countless times during the game, I still want to say it one more time.”
“The game “Elden’s Ring” is the best game I have ever played on Blue Star!”
“Every detail is so well done!”
“Although Greg is so weak, people even felt at first that there was something wrong with the design.”
“But after understanding the plot setting, you will find that because he is very weak in the plot, he can step on anyone who comes. Even his own guard dared to come to his grave after his death. It can be seen that Its strength is average.”
“Designing too strong a battle for such a BOSS will affect the player’s immersion in the entire plot.”
“Even considering such a detailed setting, I can only say that he is worthy of being the number one player! The engraving designer has my approval!”
After giving a thumbs up to the screen, Czcu also waved to the water friends in front of the screen.
“Okay, I took a look at the time and it was almost 10 hours of broadcasting in one go. That’s it for today’s live broadcast. We’ll see you tomorrow~”
Along with the barrage, the same words “Bye” and “See you” floated by
Czcu then breathed a sigh of relief and stopped the live streaming.
————
“Zizzi…”
As the live streaming ends.
The entire Weiwangdi design was also plunged into darkness.
It was already dark outside the window at this time.
But no one turned on the lights in the office.
There was even a hint of eerie silence.
After a long and lengthy silence.
George then walked to the wall and turned on the light.
The light illuminates the entire room.
The mood of almost all employees present seemed extremely low at this time.
Most of them lowered their heads as if deep in thought.
A small number of designers even covered their faces and let out a long sigh.
Connor, who joined in the second half, accompanied his subordinates to watch the live broadcasts of the game by the anchors.
At this time, he was slumped in the chair as if powerlessly, his vision was dull and unfocused.
Even if he doesn’t understand game design anymore.
After the anchors just analyzed the entire Stonewell City.
You can also feel how well-made this map is.
What’s more, Connor is the general manager of a gaming platform.
Even if I hear it every day, I still have some understanding of game design.
After having a basic understanding of game design, look at the design of Stonewell City in “Elden’s Ring”.
Connor’s mood at this time can only be summed up in one word.
despair.
This unprecedented box garden style design.
Even as a rival company, Connor had to admit it in his heart after reading it.
The design is so excellent!
Be it the visual aesthetics of the building.
It is also an exquisite spatial topological structure.
even
There is almost no fault at all!
Is Stonewell a big city?
Not big.
Judging from the structure of a military building positioned as a bridgehead, this city is actually not that big.
But it seems extremely huge to players.
It’s not big, just because it covers an area.
Large refers to the space within which players can move.
The upper, middle and lower three-story structure allows players to travel between towers and rooftops.
Still traveling around the rooms.
Or dive deep into the underground of Stonewell City.
There are so many things that players can explore in this castle.
Ready Player One has opened up almost every available space in the entire city to players to explore.
In addition to facing different monsters in different areas.
“Elden’s Circle” also does a good job in aspects that may be overlooked by players.
There is an armory room for storing military equipment.
There is a hall where soldiers eat.
There is also a study room where nobles read.
The auditorium where worship is held.
A square for martial arts training.
A cellar where air-dried cured fish and meat and wine barrels are placed.
Hall where meetings are held.
There is also a mysterious underground that is not known to outsiders.
The road to the underground is also designed so that it cannot be reached through normal paths.
It retains the ‘unknown’ mystery of the underground area from a rational perspective, thus bringing more surprises to players.
All facilities are available, just like a bridgehead that can truly meet the needs of the battle.
These seemingly insignificant details can also make players subconsciously immersed in them.
It’s like going to an ancient castle alone, sightseeing and checking in all the way.
In terms of guidance, it seems to be weak guidance.
In fact, guidance is directly integrated into the game itself without destroying immersion.
Either use some luminous props to tell players which areas have not yet been explored and which areas can be reached.
Or pass through some tough opponents and accidentally discover that there are still roads around you.
“I just realized that there is something more important.” George, who had been silent for a long time, said slowly with a hoarse voice.
“Sir, I just mentioned that when designing “Elden”, a relatively new set of ‘hatred attracts’ principles were used, right?”
“If you think about it carefully, many of Blue Star’s games should also have this setting. Why is the hatred attraction in “Elden” so good? Can we even realize it?”
“What do you mean?” Connor turned to look at George in confusion.
He can only perform some very superficial reading comprehension.
More in-depth things require more professional game designers within the company to see through them.
“That’s it.” As George spoke, the eyes of all the surrounding employees were attracted.
“The principle of hatred attraction, in simple terms, is that if a player is bullied by a monster and then dies at the hands of the monster, he will subconsciously want revenge after resurrection. This setting is actually very common in many games. I even I don’t think it is a setting, but a kind of, ummm, how should I put it… It’s like ‘action games must have attack commands’, something completely natural.”
“Because there is no need for designers to make deliberate arrangements. There will always be players who cannot defeat certain monsters at a certain stage, and then they will spontaneously improve their strength and take revenge.”
“But after seeing “Elden’s Ring”, I realized that there is a lot of knowledge in “Hate Attraction”!”
He seemed to be attracted by George’s words.
Connor immediately raised his eyebrows.
“How to say?”
You mean.
Elden’s Circle is already so good.
Is there anything new that can teach designers around the world another lesson?
Isn’t this a bit exaggerated…
After all, from this short ten hours of live broadcast room.
The design concepts presented in “Elden” must have gone from shock to numbness to designers around the world who pay attention to this game.
I was numb from the shock, numb from the shock in the real sense!
Excellent and impeccable!
Now that it’s over, you suddenly tell me.
Are there any settings worth learning in this game?
This is almost like saying on a perfect answer sheet, ‘it can add points to the score’.
Unbelievable.
George looked into everyone’s eyes with more or less surprise, and then spoke slowly.
“If you are like me and watch the live broadcasts of the anchors throughout the whole process, you should find one thing, and that is————”
“In “Elden’s Ring”, they like to use the same monsters over and over again to draw out the players’ hatred.”
“And it’s basically impossible to get players through the first time.”
“If such a technique occurs once or twice, it can be said to be accidental.”
“But if you look carefully, you will find that it is full of designs like this!”
“At the beginning of the game, players will encounter a BOSS called the Limb Noble. That BOSS looks very powerful and is not something that players can defeat at this stage.”
“So, in the limb joint hall of Stonewell City, this monster was released again, allowing players who have experienced a period of growth to complete their revenge and gain a sense of revenge.”
“The same goes for the big tree guards and bad omens you encounter when you go out.”
“Then, when players first arrive at the main entrance of Stonewell City, they will encounter many ambushes. 99% of players will die here many times and then turn to other paths, but the seeds of hatred have already been planted.”
“After players explore Stonewell City for a while, they will find a group of defensive forces with their backs to the players, delicately carved on top of the suspension bridge.”
“Most players will choose to jump down at this time, kill them one by one through effortless sneak attacks, and thus complete their revenge for being killed repeatedly at the front door.”
“But when they fall, it also means that players have come to a new area, so they will naturally explore this new area.”
“This can cleverly use the traction of hatred to prevent players from forming a fixed path dependence, thus encouraging players to explore more content.”
“The more content you can explore, the more immersive players will become in the game.”
“This guidance method is essentially to set a short-term goal through hatred. We can find that the emotions of those anchors will be very clear.”
“I suffered in Nimgefu and practiced everywhere in the Weeping Peninsula. Why? So I can come back later to kill Omen!”
“Why should I jump from the suspension bridge to kill these soldiers who didn’t notice me at all? Because they blocked me at the city gate just now and made me die many times! I feel bad when I see them!”
“This is the short-term goal that “Elden” gives players invisibly. There is no prompt, and there is no task bounty to say how many rewards will be given after defeating the big tree. But players will do it.”
“Different from the usual ‘reward guidance’ in other games, ‘hate guidance’ is a novel setting that debuts for the first time.”
“But his performance in ‘Elden’ is truly powerful.”
After analyzing what George said.
The entire design department was filled with the gasps of countless employees.
Even Connor’s eyes were filled with shock!
This deeply hidden design concept…if it weren’t for the analysis of George, an experienced game director, the junior designers here would never have been able to discover it.
But even someone as experienced as George.
He only did the analysis “based on the design given by the game”.
And the designer… actually made the game directly!
This feeling of despair, so powerful that it is so powerless, spreads quietly throughout the design department through the layers of status.
The expressions of all the employees seemed to be summed up into one sentence.
What kind of guy are we playing with?
Is this an opponent we can beat? ?
The impact on Connor was undoubtedly more severe.
Before the release of Elden.
He even thinks that “Shadowland” can crush “Elden”
Now come back to this idea.
Even a three-year-old child would laugh at himself for being naive…
After letting out a long sigh, Connor’s face showed a hint of helplessness and self-mockery.
But soon, his eyes were filled with curiosity.
“But I’m curious.”
“He left us such a powerful killing move…”
“The various design concepts currently presented in “Elden’s Ring”, it is no exaggeration to say, can even directly elevate the entire Blue Star game industry to a higher level!”
“But it also means that other game manufacturers can quickly learn and absorb the excellent design concepts of “Elden”.”
“In this way, when he faces real gaming empires like Electronic Arts and Blizzard, what else can he come up with to fight against them?”
