Chapter 640: Chapter 200: The audience is stunned! Where exactly is the upper limit of this game’s difficulty?_3

After all, one must understand that the funds expended on polishing a BOSS can far exceed the cost of ordinary monsters.

Not to mention the modeling aspect, the design of action skills must be entirely new as well.

Then, when a BOSS makes its appearance, there should at least be some related storyline, right?

It can’t just be that without any plot, a BOSS abruptly pops up—that would seriously destroy the player’s immersion.

Undoubtedly, this adds to the workload of text creation.

Finally, there’s the design of the BOSS’s weapons and equipment, the setting they reside in, and the exclusive items they drop upon defeat, among a series of other elements that all must be thoughtfully balanced.

If you casually count on your fingers, these are all burning funds!

Therefore, in most games by Blue Star, a BOSS encounter typically only occurs once every half hour or so.

If a game concludes with over 20 BOSSes, that’s considered a testament to the developer’s dedication, and players should be grateful and ecstatic.

Yet in "Elden," the density of BOSSes from the very start has already astonished Wang Laoju.

"It better not be some skin-swapped BOSS..."

And the following assault by Omen would completely change Wang Laoju’s thoughts!

The cutscene had just ended.

The health bar of Omen had just begun to emerge.

From a great distance, he flung several gold-glinting daggers in rapid succession.

Lao Ju reacted swiftly by raising his shield, but he realized that even though he blocked the attack, he was still losing health!

This BOSS has magic damage in its attacks!

And just as he learned this fact,

Omen had already sprung into action!

His seemingly stout body was incredibly nimble at that moment!

His movement speed was ghostlike.

In a blink, he leaped tens of meters and, holding a cane, slammed it down with great force!

Roll!

The experience accumulated from breaking through previous levels allowed Wang Laoju to quickly hit the space bar and roll on the spot, narrowly dodging the slam attack and also,

successfully maneuvering to Omen’s back.

"It seems this BOSS isn’t as tough as I had imagined..." Before he could finish the word ’tough,’ Lao Ju’s face instantly tensed!

He saw Omen, with his back to the player, raising his cane high.

And the next instant!

Elden swiftly turned around!

He brought his cane down vertically towards the ground!

"Boom!"

His superior intelligence and agility caught Lao Ju off guard.

There was no time to roll, so he had to hard block a cane slam with his shield.

But Omen had no desire to stop his assault.

After one strike, without any telegraphing, his other free hand reached for his waist and swiftly pulled out a slender light dagger.

Dagger Dance!

He attacked the Fading One with two rapid thrusts, left and right, like a mad dog!

With an already scant energy bar, Lao Ju, having just taken a cane slam, was now nearly depleted.

He hadn’t even had time to lower his shield before he had to endure two swings of the light dagger.

"Clang!"

He was directly hit into a defense break!

And the second blow from the light dagger sent him flying.

His health was now precariously low!

So fragile it could shatter at a touch!

In his panic, Wang Laoju had lost the momentum he’d built on his way up to Stonewell Castle.

The energy bar had barely recovered a bit when he did two quick back rolls to create distance.

He had just thought of raising his hand to heal.

But at that moment,

Omen once again displayed his crazy desire to attack!

As if he wanted to tear this uninvited guest to shreds, he conjured a massive light hammer and leaped high into the air.

After a brief two-second delay,

He dove towards the ground right where the Fading One stood.

Justice from above!

The giant light hammer in his hand struck down like thunder, the forceful impact creating countless cracks! Even the ground trembled! The camera shook uncontrollably.

Wang Laoju, knowing the power of this move, had already tried to roll away in advance.

But as the light hammer left the ground, it also caused a spreading shockwave!

The Fading One had just rolled to his feet when he received the shockwave damage.

Lao Ju, barely clinging to a sliver of health, could only watch helplessly as "GAME OVER" appeared, and the screen turned grey-black.

At that point, he froze.

Wang Laoju stared at the screen in a daze, falling silent.

He didn’t even know what had just happened to him...

Like a sudden, violent storm of attacks!

One wave after another, with no chance to catch a breath!

Is this really a BOSS for early players during the pioneering phase???

The barrage of comments was utterly stunned!

After a brief two-second lag, they finally began to roll explosively!

"?????"

"Ah???"

"Baby Ke? What are you doing, Baby Ke???"

"Damn it!!! What kind of ghost BOSS is this???"

"My god, such a strong sense of oppression!! The pace of the assaults is so tight it’s suffocating even through the screen!!"

"Is this really a BOSS that players can defeat at this stage???"

"To be honest, the chairman was doing really well just now, leaving almost no flaws... Whether it was blocking the throwing knives at the start, or rolling to dodge the big jumps, or raising his shield to withstand the Slam downs, or executing Dagger Dance, he reached the limit. But the difficulty design of this Omen still exceeded my expectations..."

"Which means, to fight this BOSS, the techniques we’ve learned so far are hardly useful... We must learn something new from this BOSS... It really is a lifelong learning process, isn’t it!"

"But how do we learn from this BOSS? I can’t even see where his weakness lies... All I see is one word emanating from him, strong!"

"I feel like the Big Tree Guardian looks like a little brother when compared to him, how on earth do you beat this..."

"I can’t even beat the Big Tree Guardian, you’re asking me?"

"Despair..."

"Seriously, if you put Omen in any other game and told me he was the final BOSS, I’d believe it... Putting the top player’s creation second in line? Just to show off?"

"Fine, fine, fine! So this is how you make games, huh! Baby Ke, I want to see what other BOSS you can create that’s harder than this one!"

The comments scrolled wildly for a moment.

Wang Laoju then swallowed hard, coming back to his senses.

Astonishing...!!

I just said that the top player designed a BOSS with such high intensity, worried it might just be a reskinned BOSS to fill space and show off.

But look at it now...

This is where that’s a reskinned BOSS??

Just as the barrage said.

If you put the design quality of this BOSS in any other action game, it would easily step up as the final BOSS!

Yet in "Elden," as if to show off, they throw it out as the second encounter.

Top player, what kind of game are you making here...

And where exactly is the upper limit of this game’s difficulty...
