After the character was created, the game officially started.
First, it was a simple cutscene.
At this moment, Zou Zhuo was in a dark dungeon, and a rat dashed past the camera. There were torches on the walls on both sides, but they could only illuminate a small area, which made the scene even more eerie.
At the foot of the wall under the torches, there was a zombie that looked like a skeleton sitting on the ground. It was hard to tell if it was dead or alive.
This scene reminded Zou Zhuo of the scenes in Outlast.
Is this a f * cking mental hospital? Zou Zhuo thought.
A deep voice said, "The Circle of Darkness represents the curse of immortality. Therefore, in the kingdom, all the immortals will be captured and sent to the north, where they will be locked in the dungeon until the end of the world.
"And this, is also your destiny."
The scene changed to a prison cell. The character that Zou Zhuo created was hidden in the darkness in the corner of the cell.
"Wait, what the hell is this? Why is my big sister a zombie?! "
Zou Zhuo was shocked. He had created a beautiful big sister, but when he entered the game, he found that she had turned into a skinny corpse …
There were zombies in Dark Souls too, but they could only be transformed into ugly skeletons after they made a deal with Rondall's Inspector and obtained the Cave of Darkness.
But in the prequel, zombies were the first zombies?
Zou Zhuo was frustrated. His wish of admiring the body of a ragged big sister failed … But then he thought that it was probably a requirement of the plot, and there must be a way to get out of the zombification.
Suddenly, the main character looked up.
With a thud, a skeleton-like corpse fell in front of the main character, and white light floated out of the corpse.
Obviously, the corpse had a prop on it.
The main character looked up and saw a knight on the skylight of the cell. Then, he turned and left.
The main character stood up, and the camera switched to a first-person perspective. Zou Zhuo stood up slowly as if he had possessed the main character.
Coming to the corpse, Zou Zhuo picked up the dungeon key.
Zou Zhuo familiarized himself with the basic controls, including rolling and attacking. It was basically the same as in Dark Souls, and Zou Zhuo learned it quickly.
However, this birth scene seemed to be darker than the previous one …
At the very least, the setting of Dark Souls was the Ashen Graveyard, where the surroundings were brightly lit. The prequel, on the other hand, was set in a prison cell.
And the most infuriating thing was that Zou Zhuo only had a broken sword in his hand!
Broken swords were also available in Dark Souls, but basically no one used them. A casual look at their attributes was enough to tell that they were useless.
Zou Zhuo was shocked again. "What's going on? Shouldn't I be given a chicken drumstick and a wooden shield? Why aren't there any chicken legs? "
According to the previous game's experience, there should be a default weapon at the start. The default weapon for an ownerless player was a stick, which was also commonly known as a chicken drumstick.
However, Zou Zhuo only had a broken sword in his hand. Where was the promised chicken leg?
Zou Zhuo did not give up. He looked at the nearby cells and found nothing. He could only brace himself and walk out of the cell.
As soon as he exited the door, he saw a small monster. Zou Zhuo rushed up and slashed it a few times with his broken sword before killing it.
At this moment, Zou Zhuo felt the earth tremble to his right.
He turned his head and saw a tall demon behind the iron bars on his right. It looked like the Abyssal Lord from Warcraft, commonly known as Big Ass.
"Holy sh * t, don't tell me this is the first boss …"
Zou Zhuo was a little nervous. He could still remember the scene of Guruda's teacher teaching him how to be a good person, but this boss seemed to be even worse than Guruda's teacher!
Chen Mo continued walking.
Zou Zhuo felt like he was playing Outlast, as it was too dark, and his vision was severely limited!
From a first-person perspective, the small monsters were all curled up in the dark corners. They didn't have health bars either, and were easily overlooked if one didn't look closely.
Fortunately, there was no danger along the way.
After climbing out of the well, Zou Zhuo came to the first bonfire.
"Alright, looks like there's going to be a boss up ahead …"
After all, Zou Zhuo had experienced Dark Souls. He knew that according to the game's standard flow, there would most likely be a boss like Guruda after the first bonfire, which was the one that would dissuade the new players.
It wouldn't be his style if there were only small monsters along the way!
However, looking at the broken sword in his hand, Zou Zhuo felt a headache coming on.
I'm going to fight the first boss with this thing? If it's so hard to even kill the small monsters, fighting the boss is definitely a slow suicide!
Zou Zhuo pushed open the rusty iron door and walked into the room.
"Hmm? There's no boss? "
Zou Zhuo was a little surprised, as the room in front of him was empty. There was no sign of a boss.
But just as Zou Zhuo walked forward defenselessly, wanting to search the items in the room …
Suddenly, he saw a huge object flash across his field of vision!
"What the heck, what is that?"
Before Zou Zhuo could react, a huge demon suddenly jumped down from the sky and landed in front of him!
"My goodness, where did this thing come from?"
Zou Zhuo was shocked, "So it's like this, this is the first boss!"
In reality, the big ass that Zou Zhuo saw before was different from this one, but it didn't matter, as he couldn't beat either one …
"Alright, I feel like you're only at Gundyr's level, I can do it!"
Zou Zhuo cheered himself on.
To be honest, this demon was scarier than Gundyr, mainly because of its size. It was about the same size as the stray demon on the Faran Fortress Bridge, but its skin was healthier, probably because it took care of itself better.
Zou Zhuo charged forward and swung the broken sword at the demon's big ass!
However, the demon's health bar only dropped by a tiny bit …
Zou Zhuo was shocked, "My goodness, are you kidding me? Isn't this too low?! "
Zou Zhuo had used One Nothing to fight Gundyr before. When the drumstick hit Gundyr's body, he could at least see a significant drop in its health bar, and it had a good Toughness effect.
However, the demon didn't seem to lose any health from this broken sword!
How long would it take for him to finish this?
While Zou Zhuo was having a headache, the demon had already raised the hammer in its hand and swung it down!
"Oh no!"
Zou Zhuo was stunned when he used the broken sword to deal damage to the demon. He was distracted and didn't dodge the hammer.
With a loud bang, the whole scene began to shake violently. The hammer fell from the sky and smashed Zou Zhuo to the ground. At the same time, Zou Zhuo's health bar was emptied!
Three bright red words appeared on the interface. You're dead!
The screen turned black, and Zou Zhuo returned to the campfire.
Zou Zhuo stood by the campfire for a full minute before he came back to his senses. This was much more difficult than Dark Souls!
His weapon was lousy, but he didn't even have an Elemental Bottle. He couldn't recover his health at all!
Does it mean that I have to kill this boss without drinking blood and use the broken sword to torture it to death? This level of difficulty is not just a little bit higher! "
Zou Zhuo calmed himself down. It's normal to be killed by the first boss. Calm down, calm down.
He raised the broken sword in his hand again and charged at the demon.
Ten seconds later, Zou Zhuo returned to the campfire.
This isn't right. There's something wrong with this difficulty! There's no way I can defeat it! At this rate, I might not even be able to kill it in ten minutes, and I have to make zero mistakes in the whole battle!
Zou Zhuo was shocked. Although there were some godly players in Dark Souls who used their starting weapons to fight nameless kings, those were godly players. How could ordinary people do that?
