Chapter 550: Big Shot Chen Mo's Speed Kill Video
Many players were saying, isn't "Dark Souls" also meant to showcase the special effects of the Pangu System? But we barely saw anything impressive in the game! We've been getting wrecked by monsters the whole time, with no chance to even appreciate it!
After much thought, many players wondered, is it because we're playing it wrong?
Some players got clever and started tagging Chen Mo on Weibo, hoping he'd give "Dark Souls" a try and show everyone the game's high-level gameplay.
At the same time, it was to shut up those haters and let them see just how amazing the physics engine in "Dark Souls" really is...
After the "Outlast" incident, many people were well aware that Chen Mo couldn't possibly be screwed over by his own game. If he played Dark Souls, he might actually pull off a lawn-mowing session...
But a lot of people were just curious to see what it would look like to turn Dark Souls into a lawn-mowing game.
Although some players who had already completed one playthrough and had skilled techniques could pull off some impressive moves, they were still far from truly turning "Dark Souls" into a lawn-mowing game.
So these players racked their brains and figured that pinning their hopes on Chen Mo might be a good idea?
Not long after, Chen Mo posted a Weibo update. The content was simple: just some text and a short video.
"Many of you want me to show off the special features of this game, so I'll give you a little demonstration. However, 'Dark Souls' is a game with very rich content. I don't want to spoil too much and cause confusion, so I hope everyone will explore the game's depths on their own—that way, playing it will be more enjoyable."
"As for the video I'm about to share, it's the 'Dark Souls' strategy of using a greatshield and crossbow to endlessly chip away. But this is still a cheap trick. If you want to take on this boss head-on, it's still very tough."
As soon as players saw this boss, they got excited. The Nameless King was one of the coolest bosses, and he was incredibly powerful. Many hoped Chen Mo would release a completely different video guide on defeating the Nameless King, giving players stuck on him in their first playthrough some extra reference.
But when they looked at the character's detailed stats, many were shocked!
"Damn! How is Chen Mo already down to a sliver of health right as the boss fight starts?"
The video was recorded from a third-person perspective, so everyone could clearly see Chen Mo's character's appearance.
This was the system's built-in recording feature. The reason for using a third-person perspective was probably because Chen Mo figured that in first-person, players wouldn't be able to accurately judge what moves he was making, so he switched to third-person.
Through the UI, many players could clearly see Chen Mo's character. His health bar was down to just a tiny sliver, meaning no matter what his stats were, if the boss so much as touched him, he'd be dead instantly!
In the scene, Chen Mo's character wielded a two-handed greatsword, with the Dragon Torso Stone as an item and Power Within as a spell. Below the portrait icon, there were several buffs, though many players couldn't immediately tell what they were from.
At the start of the video, the Nameless King's wyvern charged straight at Chen Mo. But instead of dodging, Chen Mo swung his greatsword with a charged attack, slashing down at the wyvern's head!
Under the immense force, the massive wyvern crashed down right next to Chen Mo! Its head landed precisely on his left side, and Chen Mo immediately swung his greatsword again with a charged strike, slamming it viciously into the wyvern's head!
Everyone could clearly see the sword sink deep into the wyvern's skull, sending a spray of blood flying!
Clearly, in the Pangu System's physics engine, the wyvern's skull was extremely tough. Even this charged greatsword couldn't decapitate it outright, but even so, this blow clearly dealt irreparable fatal damage to the wyvern's head!
Even more shocking was that the wyvern's health bar emptied instantly!
The first strike chopped off nearly a third of the wyvern's health, and the second decapitating blow cleared the remaining health—two hits, and it was dead!
