Chapter 431 Novice boss, but don’t persuade him to retreat
The good news is that this defensive action seems to be an independent action, which means that the defensive action can take effect even if the character is in an attacking action at this time.
But the bad news is this too!
Originally Zhuge Jun thought that this defense was the same as in other games, using weapons or off-hand shields to defend.
According to the general game settings, defensive actions and attack actions cannot be performed at the same time. You cannot defend when attacking, and you cannot attack when defending. Of course, special routines such as shield poke are excluded.
Some games do not have shield settings, but players can use their weapons to perform defensive actions.
"Blood of Lies" is a little weird. The defensive action in this game is just to block the left hand puppet prosthetic limb in front of you, that's all!
In other words, this defensive action LB does not conflict with the attack action X or RB, but conflicts with the action LT of the puppet's prosthetic limb.
The player can use the puppet prosthetic limb to block the opponent's movements while waving the weapon with his right hand to attack.
Of course, the character's attack module will change at this time. The attack module of holding the weapon with both hands cannot be performed. It can only be held with the right hand alone, and the attack speed will also be slightly affected. After all, the movement is deformed.
But the problem is that this defensive action is not easy to use, because its judgment is confusing. Some enemy attacks cannot be blocked, and every time it is hit, the puppet's prosthetic limbs will lose a lot of durability. This will not only affect The subsequent injury reduction rate will also affect the original function of the doll's prosthetic limbs.
Once the prosthesis is damaged, it can no longer be used. It needs to be repaired using a specific tool next to the gas lamp as before, and a crystal will be consumed.
According to the initial demonstration, crystals can also be used as blood medicine to restore the player's blood, so it is not cost-effective no matter how you think about it.
So Zhuge Jun doesn't want to use this defensive function at all. He thinks it is more reliable to dodge or transform and kill GP.
Of course, LB also has another use, which is to release martial arts.
While long pressing LB to make a defensive action, the player can also press the key combination to release martial arts.
Same as the use of LT's prosthetic limbs, the LB button can also be used with the three buttons of light attack, heavy attack, and transformation slash to form a combo to cast three different martial arts.
The effects of martial arts vary depending on the type of weapon.
The weapon Zhuge Jun is holding at this time is the default weapon that comes with the game, and its name is "Hunter Sword and Spear".
As the name suggests, it has both sword form and spear form.
Zhuge Jun is quite satisfied with this weapon because its two forms have quite comfortable action modules.
In sword form, the module of this weapon is similar to the common straight sword module. It is mainly used for chopping, and the forward and backward swings are very short. There is nothing wrong with it except that the distance is slightly shorter and the damage is slightly lower. ; In the spear form, the action module is mainly poking, the attack distance is long, and the attack speed is not slow. Although the damage is still slightly low, it is enough for novices.
In addition, its transformation and slashing action module is also quite excellent.
It is worth mentioning that the previous internal trial demo of "Blood of Lies" also had a similar weapon, but it was actually not the same weapon. Although they are both a combination of swords and spears, the weapon in the demo is a large sword. Its official name in the official version is "Holy Sword", and the size of this one is a one-handed sword or a straight sword. The official The name is "Sword and Spear".
In comparison, this sword and spear is more friendly to novices.
Because the hilt of the holy sword is in a folded state, it can be deformed by stretching and contracting, while the hilt of the sword and spear is usually installed on the left hand puppet prosthetic limb, and can be combined to complete the deformed slash.
The deformed chopping action of turning a sword into a spear is that the character holds the sword hilt in his right hand to chop, and at the end of the chopping motion, the position of the sword hilt is exactly combined with the spear handle of the left arm, and after the combination is completed Make a stabbing motion with the flow.
As for the deformation and cutting action of turning a spear into a sword, the spear is rotated once on the back and separated during the rotation. The spear handle is stuck on the puppet's prosthetic limb, and the sword handle is held in the right hand. Return to regular standby.
The former is a smooth little combo against a single target, while the latter even has a good AOE effect.
During use, Zhuge Jun also discovered why the keys on the back of the trigger have completely different key travels when dialing down and when dialing up?
Because they correspond to different deformation chops, and the movements of the two deformation chops are fast and slow, they are also reflected in the key travel of the back keys.
The back button on the left does not have this setting. It will automatically rebound after being pushed down, which is the same as the left trigger button.
But so what?
Zhuge Jun is still very confused, because judging from the situation of these mobs, there is no difference at all between using the trigger button to release Transformation Slash or using the trigger back button to release Transformation Slash. Hanging up a monster and hitting it will basically trigger the GP effect.
At this point, Zhuge Jun was confused again, is this GP so easy to use?
He vaguely felt something was wrong, but he didn't dwell too much on the problem. He continued to move forward and pushed open the door in front of him with both hands, facing the first boss in the game.
......
"Another three minutes and seventeen seconds faster than the last time.
"Do you still remember the first time you came here?
“Well, that doesn’t matter.
"Because this is the last time."
After pushing the door, as Zhuge Jun expected, he entered the cutscene CG immediately. At this time, the character he controlled came to the interior of a church, and in the empty space in front In the hall, at the end are statues of gods, candlesticks and various corresponding arrangements, which look solemn and solemn. A figure was kneeling in front of the statue, seemingly praying, and the previous lines were spoken by this person.
But unlike those desperate prayers, his back looks cold and ruthless, and even gives a vague sense of perseverance.
As the character moves forward, the perspective keeps getting closer, and Zhuge Jun gradually begins to see the whole person clearly.
It can be seen that he is tall, even close to about two meters by visual inspection. However, due to his slender figure and the slim hunter clothes he wears, it does not make people think that he is a bulky and strong man, but has a unique look. sense of oppression.
What surprised Zhuge Jun even more was that this man's body was actually filled with various weapons.
There are huge sickle blades, long swords, spears, axes, serrated knives...
These messy weapons are inserted all over his body, some of which penetrate from the front. , some of which penetrate from the back. If there were more, his image would be closer to that of a hedgehog.
However, it is obvious that the number of these weapons is maintained at a just right level, giving people a feeling of horror rather than comedy.
Then the man gradually stood up and turned around to look at the oncoming hunter.
Zhuge Jun noticed that many of the weapons on this man had actually penetrated his vital parts, such as the heart, abdominal cavity, etc., and even had piercing daggers inserted in his thighs. If he were a normal person, He was already dead, but he could still move without any hindrance, and some weapons would even collide with each other and make slight sounds during his movements.
"Come on, let me see what lies you told and what you threw away this time."
As the mysterious man spoke, he casually touched himself with his right hand. He held the long handle of a sickle in his right rib and slowly pulled it out in a strange gesture.
The sickle pierced through his right rib and came out from his left shoulder. The long handle of the sickle extended diagonally upward, which looked quite terrifying.
When the mysterious man expressionlessly took the blood-stained sickle in his hand, the battle officially began.
Seeing the boss's long health bar appear on the screen, Zhuge Jun was a little panicked.
He noticed that the name of this boss was "Lie Hunter-Daniel".
Obviously this thing will be a very famous boss in the game. Zhuge Jun also guessed that the whole boss battle is likely to be a losing plot kill, but the tense atmosphere and the magnificent The BGM still made him feel a little panicked subconsciously.
Seeing the scythe coming towards him, Zhuge Jun didn't think much and subconsciously pressed the back button of the trigger.
GP!
Anyway, no matter what kind of monster it is, you have to fight it first. Winning is temporary, but being handsome lasts a lifetime.
Originally Zhuge Jun had no expectations for this GP at all, but a shocking scene happened. The moment he turned his sword into a spear, the weapon happened to collide with the scythe. !
The next second, not only was Daniel's scythe bounced away, but the blood holes in his right rib and left shoulder where he originally drew the scythe spewed out a large amount of blood!
But Zhuge Jun continued to perform his GP action, and the second half of the spear hit Daniel's chest, causing the boss's health bar to drop visibly.
Daniel rushed over again. This time Zhuge Jun chose to dodge, but unfortunately this attack seemed to be a slow knife. He took a slightly early step and was hit by the boss.
But the blood loss is not a lot and is still within the acceptable range.
Zhuge Jun immediately stabbed and counterattacked with his spear. Daniel sprayed blood mist and enveloped him, restoring his blood volume.
“It doesn’t seem to be a plot kill, can you win?”
Zhuge Jun couldn’t help but feel a little happy, because according to the general game design idea, the boss encountered at the beginning is mainly to help players familiarize themselves with the operation. Often the value will be adjusted to a relatively high value, and after the plot kill, the plot will continue to advance backwards.
After some training, the protagonist challenges the boss again.
But the gatekeeper boss in "Blood of Lies" did not adjust the value very high, it was completely normal difficulty.
If you are a novice player, you may not be able to beat it, but as long as you are an experienced player in action games, you should be able to beat it.
Zhuge Jun could not help but cheer up and continue to fight fiercely.
Soon, the first challenge ended in failure.
Obviously this boss does not only use the sickle. As the battle progresses, his sickle will be destroyed, and at this time he will draw a new weapon from his body, and all action modules will also occur. change.
This made Zhuge Jun very uncomfortable, and he was finally defeated when the boss still had one-third of his health.
However, the game did not enter CG animation at this time, and Zhuge Jun was resurrected under the gaslight.
It seems that you really need to defeat this boss to advance to the next stage.
