Chapter 439 Lying
Seeing this, Zhuge Jun couldn't help but be stunned.
Is there such a thing?
Where is this NPC?
He pulled the video back and watched it again, and found that it was another small branch leading to the bridge.
This fork in the road is blocked by some boxes and debris. After passing it, you have to jump down into a small alley, then go to the end and climb up another staircase to reach this special platform.
Overall, it's pretty well hidden.
If players have a compulsion to explore, they can find it, but most players will not deliberately explore these places in the early stage. They basically go straight to the boss when they see the bridge, so not many players find this fork in the road.
"Hello!
"You are still wandering on the street at this time, didn't you hear the radio?
"Oh, looking at you covered in blood all the way here, it must not be easy, right? Hehe, it's really amazing...
"Let me introduce myself. I am a kind-hearted doctor. I came here because I was treating people, but I didn't expect that I would be delayed because of the earthquake.
"Now I want to go home, but the bridge I must pass is blocked by this doll. I went to a high place to observe for a long time, but I still can't find anything...
"Oh, by the way, seeing that you are so good at fighting, are you a battle doll or a skilled hunter?"
At this time, two different options appeared on the screen, namely "Puppet" and "Human".
And there is also a countdown, which is about ten seconds, neither long nor short.
It gives players ample time to react and think, but it is impossible to use this time to quickly check the strategy.
“Okay, time is limited, let’s choose first and then explain to you in detail.
"Everyone, please be careful not to copy my answer, because this option is based on your identity.
“In general, if you make a standard face, then your initial identity label is ‘human tendency’, then we will choose a puppet at this time.
“On the other hand, if you are pinching the face of an ancient god, then your initial identity is ‘Doll Tendency’, and at this time we will choose a human.
"Why do you choose this way? You can think about it for yourself first. Let's continue to watch the dialogue below. After the boss battle, I will explain the reasons in detail."
Zhuge Jun was thinking while watching the video.
If he had been given the choice from the beginning, he would have been confused and would have probably chosen to tell the truth.
But in the video, Black Dragon has already given the standard answer. If you use the standard answer to work backwards, the difficulty of judgment will be much lower, and the entire reasoning process will be easy to guess.
At this time, Zhuge Jun noticed some details, that is, the content, tone, and clothing of this NPC were not quite right.
His tone always makes people feel a little sinister and malicious, and is often mixed with some "hee hee" laughter. Moreover, he calls himself a "kind doctor", which is quite strange. How can a doctor introduce himself? Forcibly adding the adjective "kind"?
If you look closely at the clothes of this NPC, you will find that he is actually wearing the clothes of a doll maker, and they are stained with a lot of blood. There is a bag of unknown meaning next to it, and some jewelry is vaguely exposed from the bag.
Even if the players cannot guess his true purpose and identity, these doubts can roughly confirm that this person has bad intentions and cannot be trusted.
"Could it be that... this NPC is actually using giant animal-like dolls to kill passers-by?
"On that bridge, there were many corpses of humans and dolls, and some dolls still had incomplete limbs. There seemed to be a door on this platform. This door cannot be opened at the moment, but judging from its location, it seems that it can be connected to a Shortcut to the bridge.
"Although it is unclear what is contained in the bag next to this NPC, it is probably gold and silver jewelry obtained from the victims of the bridge or the more valuable prosthetic limbs of the dolls.
"But why did he ask about his identity? Could it be that..."
Zhuge Jun vaguely guessed that this NPC seemed to be an evil craftsman. He could control the form of the giant beastly doll through some special method.
Sure enough, when the black dragon came to the bridge again in the video, the giant beastly doll had changed.
Originally, only the black fur of the lycanthropic human could be seen on its chest and crotch, but at this time, its whole body was actually covered with swollen tentacles, as if it was being parasitized by a huge living corpse. Same.
Even the original attack movements have changed, and they are obviously faster and more agile.
Zhuge Jun couldn't help but be surprised: "Can this NPC really change the boss's form? In other words, when the player takes a detour to leave the platform, the NPC sneakily opens a shortcut to the bridge and changes the boss's state?
"But how did he do it? Why didn't the boss hit him? Well, it seems that this is also a plot hole."
At this time, Black Dragon was fighting the boss while explaining the impact of choosing an identity.
“Everyone should have roughly understood that our previous options will change the status of the boss.
"As for the specific reason, I can't give a particularly accurate explanation yet. But you can also tell that this NPC has bad intentions and can change the boss's form, so we have to deliberately deceive him.
“We answered ‘doll’, so the NPC changed the boss into a form that is more restrained by the doll.
"There are many different restraint relationships in this game. In addition to the well-known common restraint relationships such as 'more hair means less fire' and 'dolls mean less thunder', there is also a cyclic restraint relationship between humans, zombies and puppets.
"In simple terms: zombies are better than puppets, puppets are better than humans, and humans are better than zombies.
"Why?
"First of all, zombies, or monsters that have transformed into beasts, will spray blood when attacked, and this unclean blood itself has a certain corrosiveness. Before they solidify into crystals, they cannot become the internal energy of puppets.
"And even if it can be regarded as energy, puppets can only transform and absorb it through certain specific means, and cannot absorb it directly by pouring it on the body. This will only cause corrosion and damage to the puppet parts.
"In simple terms, cars burn oil, but you can't pour oil directly on the car or the engine, which will cause mechanical damage.
"So, zombies are better than puppets.
"When puppets fight with humans, they will not be corroded, and puppets have strong defense and strange movements. Because they rely on clockwork to generate power, they have fast and slow knives per person. Human bodies are fragile and can be easily caught off guard by fast and slow knives. When fighting with the same weapons, humans are at a comprehensive disadvantage.
"So, puppets defeat humans.
"What about when humans fight zombies? We all know that humans can also absorb the blood of zombies to restore their blood, so they will not be corroded like puppets.
"At the same time, most of the zombies' movements are not as fast and slow as knives, and each move is relatively intuitive. Humans can completely deal with it with conventional combat ideas.
"Not only that, human weapons often have obvious part-destructive effects on zombies, especially after being rubbed with enchantments such as fire charms.
"So, humans defeat zombies.
"We lied to the NPC and said we were puppets, so the NPC would transform the boss into a zombie state. Originally, this could be a good target for puppets, but we are humans, so the boss happened to be restrained by us.
"The opposite is also true. If you choose a puppet-oriented protagonist, then choose a human at this time. I have tested it before and it also works.
"But I want to remind everyone that you must save the game manually when talking to NPCs. Because there is a certain probability of failure when lying with puppets. If it fails, the result is that the NPC sees through our lies and transforms the boss into a zombie, and our battle will become more difficult. "
Zhuge Jun suddenly realized, that's it!
There is such a restraint relationship?
From the video, the difficulty of this boss battle has indeed decreased a lot after lying.
Originally, this boss was half puppet and half zombie. That is, its chest and crotch are zombies, but its limbs are puppets.
At this time, the player uses weapons to attack its limbs, which has little effect, because puppets are mechanical structures, which have a good damage reduction effect on weapons, and it is difficult to cause local damage.
After lying, the boss will choose to spread or gather his beast-like zombie state, and at this time it is more inclined to the state of full puppet or full zombie.
If it is a full zombie, then its fast and slow knife movements will be significantly reduced, and each move will be more intuitive, and it will also be better GP.
In addition, its hands and feet have become more It is easy to be damaged by parts.
Combined with the first two methods mentioned by Heilong, the difficulty is further reduced.
Heilong did not demonstrate the situation of the puppet protagonist, but according to the mechanism of this game, Zhuge Jun can roughly guess it.
If the protagonist lies that he is a human, the NPC will transform the boss into a pure puppet. At this time, the puppet's fast and slow knives increase, but the movement will become slow.
The puppet protagonist originally moved slowly, and it was easy to get beaten when fighting zombies, and the blood sprayed by the zombies would corrode the puppet parts. But now that the boss moves slowly, the puppet protagonist can safely and boldly choose a good position to charge and output fiercely, which also reduces the difficulty.
According to the setting, the puppet protagonist itself has higher damage and toughness reduction multipliers, and has a good advantage in hard-to-hard confrontation.
"This strategy is really a timely help! "
Zhuge Jun carefully studied the GP timing of several specific actions, and then went to the NPC to give the corresponding answer, increasing the boss's beast state.
When he challenged the boss again, it was obviously much smoother than before, and he succeeded in defeating it after four attempts.
"Got it!
"Oh, I may have blamed this game a little bit before. At present, it seems that it is not bad, not that difficult."
Zhuge Jun stretched his body, and after defeating the boss, his previous resentment disappeared.
The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and he felt that he could do it again.
Cheer up and continue to push the process!
