Chapter 554 "Soul Studies"
The hardcore players of Dark Souls are pretty scary, and soon, more and more quick-kill videos are appearing.
Most of the authors of quick-kill videos tried to reproduce the effect of Chen Mo's quick-killing of the unknown king in the first step. Although few people were able to succeed, this short video has obviously become a textbook for quick-kill players.
Another more intuitive feeling for players is the world view and plot of the game.
These players quickly explored every corner of the entire "Dark Souls", and tried their best to dig the plot behind every npc, but to everyone's surprise, this game turned out to be a multi-ending game, and Each NPC has a corresponding life experience and ending!
And the most interesting thing for players is the battle between true and false endings in this game.
Out of the four endings, all three endings are very popular except for the fire-fighting ending.
The first is the ordinary fire ending, where the player completes his destiny and continues the initial fire. This is also the ending that most players play in the first week.
The second ending is dubbed by some players as the "Double Sleeping and Flying Ending". The player and the fire girl discovered the secret behind the fire, so the player and the fire girl chose to extinguish the flame, and the world fell into darkness.
The last ending is the ending of the King of Darkness, which is also the ending discovered by the players who posted the hot forum before. After saving Rondore's pilgrims, he will pull out the dark power hidden in the player for the player. In the end, the player will gather eight dark rings, and finally swallow the flames and become the king of darkness in the new world.
Players are battling over in the forums as to which is the real ending.
Players who support the ending of Chuanhuo said that Chuanhuo has been the long-cherished wish of the whole world from the very beginning, and after the flames are extinguished, the world is plunged into eternal night, and there are lonely ghosts everywhere. Such a world has no light at all, how is it possible Is it the real ending? Obviously the flame should be passed on.
Players who support the ending of the King of Darkness said that from various indications, the fire spread is very likely to be a lie, and the tragic experiences of those salary kings have already shown this. And this game is called "Dark Soul", which has long implied that darkness is the only destination.
As for the players who chose the "Double Residential and Double Flying Ending", they said that no matter what he spreads the fire or not, I just want the fire lady!
In order to prove which ending is the best ending, the players began to discover all the clues left by Chen Mo in the game, including the analysis of the sideline plot, the verification of the location, the description of the items, and so on.
Some players even called it "Soulology", a theory about the study of "Dark Souls".
The world view of "Dark Souls" is hidden in a large number of prop descriptions, and this world view is very fragmented, requiring players to have a very strong brain-filling ability to make brain-filling a relatively reliable story.
And there is no "Dark Souls 1" in the parallel world, so for players, some questions are destined to be unanswered.
If you combine the plots of "Dark Souls 1" and "Dark Souls 3", then most players will think that the dark ending and the end of the fire are the real ending of this game.
But because there is no story content in "Dark Souls 1", players in this world have doubts about it.
At the same time, under the constant digging of the players, both the story background of the supporting characters and the whole world view of the game have become fuller. Only then did the players discover that after the "Dark Soul" has completed the whole plot of the first episode, what it shows Content is just the tip of the iceberg floating on the water!
Because in the absence of a strategy, most players are doomed to miss a lot of sidelines.
In "Dark Souls", there are many settings that make players feel a little shudder.
For example, what is the identity of the protagonist? At the beginning of the film, it is said that the protagonist is the ashes without fire and the undead who cannot become a salary, so what kind of existence does the protagonist have before resurrection?
And after defeating the Demon King,
Players will find a Fireless Shrine in Lothric City. The layout of this fireless sacrificial field is the same as that of the fire sacrificial field, except that this is a completely dark world, a world where the fire is extinguished.
Judging from all the signs, "Dark Soul" is a world in which time and space are chaotic, and even if players want to find other players, they must invade or summon spells.
So what is the relationship between Wuhuo Sacrificial Field and Hero Guda and the player's current Chuanhuo Sacrificial Field?
Some people found that after defeating the hero Gouda in the Fireless Sacrificial Field, they would get a broken spiral sword; and when the player first teleported from the Fire Sacrificial Field to Lothric City, there was another half of the spiral sword behind him.
At the same time, the name of this game is "Dark Souls", so what does Dark Souls stand for?
Some say it represents humanity, some say it represents the power of the abyss. But why would a game with Fire as its main background be named "Dark Souls"?
A series of supporting characters in "Dark Souls", such as Fire Girl, Holy Maiden, Tsundere Knight Yiguo, Thief, Sirius, Anri, Onion Knight, Disheartened Brother, etc., actually have their own stories and endings, but these endings Most are very miserable.
No matter how hard the players try, they can't arrange a better ending for them, because there is no such thing as a good ending in the game.
Just like the saintess, she shoulders the mission of becoming a fire girl. If she comes into contact with the dark dictionary, she will lose her reason, and will only be eroded by darkness and die at the hands of the player.
But if she doesn't learn the dark dictionary, and eventually becomes a fire girl, she will become a machine that only knows how to upgrade players, waiting to die alone in a tower full of fire girl corpses.
And Igo, the knight who guards her, will also commit suicide in the dungeon where the Saintess started.
The more stories players discover in this game, the more they realize that this is a desperate game, not only the difficulty of the game, but also the story background of the game!
This world is indeed a darker world than Diablo, and the player can't even change anything.
The unique combat system, level design and story background make Dark Souls a game like no other.
At the beginning, players labeled it as "difficult" and "masochistic", but as players deepened their understanding of the game, more and more players began to express their opinions on "The Game". Dark Souls touted!
