Chapter 431 Novice boss, but don’t persuade him to quit


    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 the shield of the off-hand 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.


    There is no shield setting in some games, but players can use the weapons in their hands to perform defensive actions.


    "Blood of Lies" is a bit weird. The defensive action in this game is just to block the left hand puppet''s 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.


    ? Players can completely block the opponent''s movements with the puppet''s prosthetic limb in front of them, while waving the weapon with their right hand to attack.


    ?Of course, the character''s attack module will change at this time. The attack module of holding a weapon with both hands cannot be executed. 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 prosthetic limb 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 regarded 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 besides this, LB has another use, which is to release martial arts.


    ?While long pressing LB to perform a defensive action, the player can also press the key combination to release martial arts.


    ?Similar to 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.


    Depending on the type of weapon, the effects of martial arts are also different.


    ??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 the sword form, the module of this weapon is similar to the common straight sword module. It is mainly used for cutting, and the forward and backward swings are very short. There is no problem except that the distance is slightly shorter and the damage is slightly lower; while in the spear form , the action module is mainly about stabbing, with long attack distance and not slow attack speed. Although the damage is still slightly low, it is good enough for novices.


    In addition, its transformation and slashing action module is also quite excellent.


    ? It is worth mentioning that "Blood of Lies" previously had a similar weapon in the internal trial demo, 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".


    Comparatively speaking, this sword and spear is more friendly to novices.


    Because the hilt of the Holy Sword is in a folded state, it can be transformed into a slash by stretching and contracting, while the hilt of the sword or spear is usually installed on the left hand puppet prosthetic limb, and the hilt can be combined to complete the transformation.


    The deformed chopping action of the sword-turned-spear is that the character holds the sword hilt in his right hand to chop, and at the end of the chopping motion, the sword hilt position is exactly combined with the spear handle of the left arm, and after the combination is completed, he makes a stabbing movement. .


    The deformation and cutting action of turning a spear into a sword involves rotating the spear around the back and separating it during the rotation. The spear handle is stuck on the puppet''s prosthetic limb. The right hand holds the sword handle and returns to the regular standby state. .


    The former is a smooth little combo against a single target, while the latter even has a good AOE effect.


    During the use process, Zhuge Jun also discovered why the keys on the back of the trigger have completely different key travels when moving down and when moving 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 monsters, there is no difference at all between using the trigger button to release the Transformation Slash or using the trigger back button to release the Transformation Slash. Anyway, they are just hanging up the mobs and beating them. Basically, it can trigger GP effects.


    At this point, Zhuge Jun was confused again, is this GP so easy to use?


    I feel wrong, but he didn''t worry too much about this problem. After continuing, he pushed the door in front of him and faced 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 immediately entered the cutscene CG. At this time, the character he controlled came to the interior of a church. In the empty hall in front, at the end were statues of gods, candlesticks and various corresponding arrangements. , looks 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 all kinds of weapons.


    There are huge sickle blades, long swords, spears, axes, serrated knives...


    ?These messy weapons were inserted all over his body, some from the front and some 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''s body had actually penetrated his vital parts, such as his heart, abdominal cavity, etc. There were even daggers inserted into his thighs. If he was a normal person, he would have died long ago. But he still moved without any hindrance, and even some weapons would 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 held the long handle of a sickle on his right rib with his right hand, and slowly pulled it out with 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.


    Looking at the boss''s long health bar appearing 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 was probably a losing plot kill, but the tense atmosphere and the magnificent BGM still made him subconsciously Feeling a little flustered.


    ?Seeing the scythe coming towards him, Zhuge Jun didn''t think much and subconsciously pressed the back button of the trigger.


    ?GP!


    No matter what kind of monster it is, you have to fight it first. Winning is temporary, but being handsome lasts a lifetime.


    ?Zhuge Jun originally had no expectations for this GP at all, but a shocking scene happened. The moment he turned his sword into a spear, the weapon just collided 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 also spurted out a large amount of blood!


    ? 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 step too early 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 health.


    “It doesn’t seem like 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, and the value is usually adjusted to a relatively high value. After the plot is killed, the plot can continue to advance backwards.


    After some training, the protagonist challenges the boss again.


    ??However, the gatekeeper boss in "Blood of Lies" did not adjust the value very high, and 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 gas lamp.


    It seems that this boss must be defeated in order to advance to the next stage.
