Chapter 554: "Soul Science" (Second Update)

Hardcore players of Dark Souls are terrifying, and soon, more and more quick kill videos appeared.

The first step of most of the authors of the quick kill video is to try to reproduce the effect of Chen Mo's quick kill of the unknown king, although few people can succeed, but this short video has obviously become a textbook for quick kill players.

Another intuitive feeling for players is the worldview and plot of the game.

These players quickly explored every corner of the entire Dark Souls and tried to dig into the story behind each NPC, and to everyone's shock, the game turned out to be a multi-ending game, and each NPC had a corresponding life story and ending!

And what players are most talking about is the battle between true and false endings in this game.

Of the four endings, the other three are very popular except for the fire ending.

The first is the ordinary fire-spreading ending, where the player fulfills his destiny and continues the initial fire. This is also the ending that most players play in the week.

The second ending is jokingly called the "Double Stay and Double Fly Ending" by some players. The player and the firefighter discover the secret hidden behind the fire, so the player and the firefighter choose to extinguish the flames, and the world is plunged into darkness.

And the last ending is the Dark Lord ending, which is also the ending unearthed by the players of the previous forum hot post. After rescuing the Pilgrim of Longor, he will draw out the dark power that lurks in the player's body, and eventually the player will gather eight dark rings and eventually devour the flames and become the dark lord of the new world.

Players are fighting over which one is the real ending.

Players who support the ending of the fire spread say that the fire has been the long-cherished wish of the whole world from the beginning, and after the flame is extinguished, the world is plunged into eternal night, and there are lonely souls and wild ghosts everywhere. Obviously, the flame should be passed on.

And players who support the ending of the Dark Lord say that from all indications, it is very likely that the spread of fire is a lie, and the tragic experience of those Salary Kings has long shown this. And this game is called "Dark Souls", which has long hinted that darkness is the only destination.

As for the players who chose the "Double Stay and Double Fly Ending", they said, no matter what he doesn't pass the fire, I just need the fireproof lady!

In order to argue which ending is the best ending, players began to discover all the clues left by Chen Mo in the game, including side plot analysis, location research, item descriptions, and so on.

Some players even jokingly refer to this as "Soulology", a doctrine about the study of Dark Souls.

The worldview of Dark Souls is hidden in a large number of item descriptions, and this worldview is very fragmented, requiring players to have a very strong brain supplement ability to make it a relatively reliable story.

And there is no "Dark Souls 1" in the parallel world, so for players, some questions are destined to go unanswered.

If you combine the plots of "Dark Souls 1" and "Dark Souls 3", then the vast majority of players will think that the dark ending and the end of the fire are the real ending of this game.

However, due to the lack of story content of "Dark Souls 1", players in this world have doubts about it.

At the same time, under the continuous excavation of players, both the story background of the supporting characters and the entire world view of the game have become fuller, and players have found that after "Dark Souls" has opened up the whole plot of the week, the content shown is just the tip of the iceberg floating on the water!

Because in the absence of a strategy, most players are destined to miss out on a large number of side quests.

In Dark Souls, there are also many thoughtful and terrifying settings that make players feel a little chilled.

For example, what exactly is the identity of the main character? At the beginning of the film, it is said that the protagonist is a fireless ash and an immortal who cannot be paid, so what kind of existence was the protagonist before he was resurrected?

Also, after defeating the Demon King, players will find a fireless ritual in Lothric City. The layout of this fireless ritual ground is the same as that of the fire transmission sacrificial ground, except that it is a completely dark world, a world where the fire is extinguished.

By all indications, Dark Souls is a world of disorganized time, and even players who want to find other players have to invade or summon spells.

So what is the relationship between the Fireless Sacrifice Ground and the Hero Gooda and the player's current Fire Sacrifice Ground?

It has been discovered that after defeating the hero Guda in the Fireless Sacrifice Ground, he will get a broken spiral sword; When the player first teleports from the Fire Rite to Lothric City, there is the other half of the spiral sword in the back.

At the same time, the name of this game is Dark Souls, so what exactly does Dark Souls represent?

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 the Fire Girl, the Holy Maiden, the Tsundere Knight Igo, the Thief, Ciris, Anri, The Onion Knight, and the Discouraged Brother, actually have their own stories and endings, but most of these endings are very tragic.

No matter how hard the player tries, he can't arrange a better ending for them, because there are no good endings in the game.

Just like the Holy Maiden, she has the mission of becoming a fire bearer, and if she comes into contact with the Dark Dictionary, she will lose her mind, and in the end she can only be corrupted by the darkness and die at the hands of the player.

But if she doesn't learn the Dark Codex, she will eventually become a fireproof girl, but she will become a machine that only knows how to upgrade the player, waiting for death in a tower full of fireproof women's corpses.

And Igo, the knight who guards her, will also commit suicide in the dungeon where the saint first started.

The more players unearth the story in this game, the more they realize that this is a desperate game, not only in terms of difficulty, but also in the context of the game!

It's a darker world than Diablo, and the player can't even change anything.

The unique combat system, level design, and story setting make Dark Souls a game like no other.

In the beginning, players labeled it as "difficult" and "masochistic", but as players got to know the game, more and more players touted Dark Souls!
