Chapter 144 A textbook-level novice guide
As the UI interface of the game appears, the character controlled by the player also stands up from the ground.
[Northern Immortal Academy]
The name of the area the player is currently in appears in the center of the screen.
The game officially begins!
The protagonist is wearing a thief's costume and holding a broken sword hilt in his right hand.
At this moment, Erxiao suddenly realized something was wrong.
"No, brothers, I've been pinching my face for so long, why is it so ugly now that I enter the game?"
Erxiao pushed the joystick to rotate the viewing angle. At this time, although the thief's face was wearing a mask, from the exposed face and a small part of the skin, it was not difficult to see that the thief was now completely different from those lying on the ground. corpse-like state.
The whole body was red and dry, as if all the water had been evaporated.
"Is it possible that you are so ugly to begin with?"
"This is a place where undead people are imprisoned. Since you can be imprisoned like them, it is normal for you to look similar to them."
"There should be a way to change you back to your original state in the follow-up, otherwise the face-squeezing session would be meaningless."
I have to say that what the last person said makes sense.
Erxiao, who had figured it out, didn't hesitate here and started the game process directly.
The blue ball of light in front of him was so attractive. Erxiao pushed the joystick gently, and the undead protagonist slowly walked forward, when he came to the abandoned body.
[A key: Search for remains]
As the A button is pressed, a dungeon key appears in the center of the screen.
"Thank you, good brother Knight, for sending me a dungeon key."
"Okay, okay, the protagonist is out of the cage."
"Erxiao, how does the operation feel?"
Erxiao freely controlled the undead man to walk back and forth in the prison several times, and said happily:
“It’s quite comfortable to walk, but I have to wait for a while to make a specific evaluation after playing.”
Without further ado, Erxiao continued to experience.
Use the dungeon key to push open the cell door, and you will see a somewhat desolate and dilapidated cell corridor.
In this corridor, the most eye-catching thing is the red letters on the ground.
When the undead steps on the blood word and presses the interaction button, some information prompts will appear.
They are all very basic tips, such as how to manipulate the camera and how to attack.
In front of the word in blood, there is a desiccated living corpse facing the protagonist, bending over and covering his face.
"Let's try how this game attacks."
As Erxiao spoke, he waved his weapon towards the living corpse in front of him.
The undead man charged back his right hand, took a step forward with his left foot, and then swung it out, completing the entire attack process.
13 swords, the damage is pitifully low.
But after being attacked, the living corpse will not resist, and can only watch the player kill it with one knife.
As its health bar was emptied and it fell limply to the ground, a small blue light point floated from his body into the undead body.
In the lower right corner, a value in the interface ui that was originally 0 suddenly increased to 20.
"This game is quite simple. To be honest, I thought Luo would design the game to be as difficult as Hollow Knight."
"There is no comparison between 2D games and 3D games. After all, many work scenes that can be completed in 2D are too difficult to reproduce in 3D."
"Brother, this is a novice level. Isn't Hollow Knight's novice level just just counter flies and bugs at the beginning?"
Everyone has no expectations for the novice level, because the purpose of the novice level is actually to familiarize you with the operation.
Following the guidance of the words in blood, the player hacked to death two more small zombies along the way.
One of them is still in the water. When the player walks up to it, the movement will obviously slow down. This tells everyone that this game has terrain such as water pools.
When the player follows an upward staircase and comes to a courtyard, the cramped space in the prison corridor suddenly becomes clear.
The courtyards are surrounded by green grass.
In the center of the courtyard, a pile of ashes and bones was piled together and burning. On top of the fire, a strange threaded red sword was thrust diagonally into the fire.
When the player chooses to rest at the campfire, the entire screen is accompanied by a special effect that looks like quicksand rolling down, and then...
Nothing happened.
"This should be for you to save and rest, but your health bar is full now, so there will be no changes."
"For the beginner tutorial, stop inking, just rush and you're done!"
The undead man immediately stood up from the ground.
There were two roads in front of him at this time, the gate in front and the fence gate on the left.
In line with the idea of never going through the main door if there is a small one, the undead man came to the fence gate and pressed the interaction button, but what appeared on the screen at this time was only a line of cold small words.
[Cannot open from this side]
"Here it comes! Classic Ori-like room design!"
Just like Ori's rock blocking the road and the hole blocking the door, the iron door in front of them that can only be opened from the back naturally makes first-time fans excited.
You can't walk on the path, so of course you can only choose the gate.
As the ancient door in front of him was slowly pushed open by the undead, there was a line of blood words in the center of the huge and spacious room in front of him.
But when Erxiao ran for a while, the moment he saw the words in blood:
[Run away! ]
The eye-catching reminder made Er Xiao confused. At the same time, a huge demon that caught everyone off guard fell from above.
The Demon of the Immortal Yard.
It was so huge that the top of its head could not be seen at a glance when it raised its head. It held a huge hammer in its hand. The moment it fell to the ground, it caused a violent noise like an earthquake.
Erxiao almost subconsciously walked towards the open gate on the left.
As she fled, as if at a critical moment, the iron door behind her closed instantly!
The monster that was so powerful just now also became quiet.
"What the hell is this? It scared me to death!"
Erxiao patted his chest with lingering fear.
The scene that just happened was really too sudden, and she was not mentally prepared for it.
"Indeed, I was scared to death by this thing just now. Fortunately, there were reminders on the ground, which came from Mr. Luo's mercy." "No, you can't fight it head-on? It's not like you don't have weapons in your hands."
"Don't even think about it. It must be a plot kill and you can't beat it in the early stage."
Not to mention the fierce debate among the water friends aside, Erxiao hid in the small door and went down the stairs, and another bonfire appeared in his sight.
After lighting the fire and sitting on the fire, turn right in this small room, and there is still blood.
[If there is a shield...]
What does this mean?
Erxiao was confused and turned right to enter the door without stopping.
With a soft whooshing sound, before Erxiao understood what was happening, a white arrow flying from a distance had already been inserted into the undead man's body, reducing his health by one level.
On the left, a blue light group appeared in sight like the dungeon key he had obtained before.
Without saying a word, Erxiao turned around and walked into a small room hidden here that was specially used to avoid arrows.
Following the search for the blue light group, a small shield named "Tuanpai" was successfully collected by the player.
According to the blood words in the small room, the undead man held his shield high, walked out of the small room, and advanced towards the archery zombie in the distance.
With a few tinkling sounds, the arrows hit a few sparks on the shield.
Except for the stamina bar above his head, which dropped a little, the blood stripes remained motionless.
The living corpse seems to know that the player has a shield in his hand. When the player is close to him to a certain extent, he decisively turns around and runs away.
"Why are you running? It felt so good to cum just now, come and fight me head-on!"
Erxiao chased after him rather unwillingly.
"To tell you the details, it feels so good to cum."
"?"
"When I type?, it's not me who has a problem, it's you who have a problem."
During the chase, Erxiao finally picked up the "thief's dagger" that he was originally supposed to carry as a thief.
At this point, the immortal "Thief Erxiao" has officially become a complete entity.
The power of the thief's dagger is completely unmatched by the broken sword. The swing speed is faster and the damage is higher.
It is that the attack range is obviously much shorter than that of the Broken Sword.
After beheading the little living archery corpse from his horse, in front of his sight was a white fog door that looked very extraordinary at first sight.
"I feel like I'm going to fight the BOSS."
Erxiao's heart tightened and she frowned.
There were no such fog gate blockades in previous maps, and the appearance of such a thing now is an obvious sign.
After confirming that he was fully prepared, Erxiao walked through the fog door, but the first thing he saw was not a BOSS, but a broken fence gate sealed by a pile of stones.
Through the crack in the door, the player can clearly see that the knight who once helped the protagonist is sitting on the ground motionless.
The bloody words on the ground nearby remind the player of an action called "rolling".
Erxiao tried to interact with the broken metal door, either by attacking directly or by rolling over, but it was obvious that he could not break the broken metal door.
There is no other way, the undead can only choose to move forward.
Here the path splits in two again, with two stairs, one going up and one going down.
“I’ve always walked up before.”
Erxiao explained.
But when she came to the end of the stairs going down, what suddenly appeared in front of her was a rather familiar fence door.
As the undead man slowly pushed open the fence door, and the impressive courtyard came into view, Erxiao raised the corner of his mouth.
"This is the taste. So what if there are many routes? No matter which way you go, there is always a way to come back in the end."
“Yes, it’s this familiar smell. When I saw this door, my mind couldn’t help but outline the structure of the entire map of the Northern Immortal Yard.
Just after the protagonist came out of the cell, go straight to the living corpse room with a puddle. Turn left, go up the stairs, and enter the demon room.
Turn left and go up the uphill corridor with the living corpse of the archer, then turn left and go up the stairs to see the knight on the opposite side.
It’s so clear that the connecting point of everything is the courtyard in the middle. ”
"No, this can also be blown? Isn't it just a very simple ring structure?"
"I'm not bragging, I'm just telling the truth. After all, it's the initial map.
Didn’t you find that the guidance of Dark Souls is particularly good from beginning to end? When Blood Words prompts you for an action, there is immediately a usage of that new action paired with it.
With weapons, there are living zombie targets in front of us that will not resist. Facing the archers, we need to use shields to approach...
Textbook-level novice guidance. Mr. Luo has really learned the lessons of Hollow Knight and tried his best to lower the entry threshold for new players.
With such a guidance design, no matter how handicapped the player is, as long as they follow the instructions, they will definitely be able to continue playing. ”
Climbing back up from the stairs below, when Er Xiao walked towards the stairs going up, a big iron ball rolled down the stairs without any precautions.
The undead man was hit by the iron ball off guard and lost half of his health.
"What the hell? Why is there a big iron ball here!"
Erxiao exclaimed.
Suddenly there was a sound of the wall breaking.
Erxiao turned around and looked back, and saw that the thick wall behind him had been smashed open by an iron ball.
"I remember that the knight just now should be here, right?"
"This iron ball is specially designed to open the door for you!"
When they thought of the knight behind them who had helped the protagonist, almost everyone didn't pay much attention to why the iron ball in front of them appeared here, and no one thought that this design was a big deal.
At this time, Lao Lu, who was watching the live broadcast at home, narrowed his eyes slightly and just raised the corners of his mouth.
All the mundane things before were guidance.
He knew that starting from the iron ball in front of him, the most unique part of Dark Souls had truly shown its fangs to all players.
But at this moment, no one has a clear understanding of this.
