Chapter 198 – Phase 2 (4)
In RPG games, monster patterns will play a role in determining the difficulty of the game.
The easier the pattern, the less difficult the game will be, and the better it will be for attracting new users.
However, if the game remains at an easy difficulty level, users who played the game will not find it fun and will gradually leave.
That’s why game operators try to create patterns that will make users have as much fun as possible so that they don’t leave. Each person has different standards for what fun is, but I think that the fun that people who enjoy games generally feel is the sense of accomplishment they get from solving difficult levels of difficulty.
In order to increase the satisfaction of such users, it is common for game operators to gradually increase the difficulty level by gradually strengthening the patterns of the monsters in the game.
However, in the process, while trying to make the monster’s pattern difficult, there were cases where ridiculous patterns were created.
Elyon is no exception.
A representative example is Bael, the level 90 raid boss summoned by Void in Ar’estel.
When Bael first came out, people had a lot to say about the monster’s killer stamina.
If the previous level 85 raid boss, Krayde, had a stamina of about 20 billion at most, then the level 90 raid boss Bael’s stamina was over a whopping 2 trillion.
The increase in physical strength by more than 100 times was an absurd figure even for users who were armed with new equipment after max level expansion.
In addition, the raid boss consists of a time attack that must be defeated within a set time. Previously, there was no pressure on physical strength to the extent that this time limit did not have much meaning, but the time to capture Bael was limited to only 5 minutes, making the raid difficult. Even those who were called rankers when they came out did not have half of their maximum stamina.
This terrible stamina was lowered to a level where it could be cleared only after being criticized to death by users and receiving major nerfs several times.
However, if I were to say that I was criticized for having an absurd amount of physical strength, it would have been fortunate.
Not only did Bael have physical strength, but he also had many ridiculous patterns.
The basic pattern damage crossed the line by having values equivalent to instant death and made it difficult to avoid.
Bael slams down on the ground to spread a shock wave, and when hit by the attack, you will be stunned. Only now you can see and avoid it. When it first came out, the aura effect was so short that you had to have professional gamer-level visual acuity to avoid it. There were a lot.
Additionally, basically, the pattern of swinging fists or legs is used immediately without any foreshadowing, so jobs such as martial artists that require close-range attacks were a terrible nightmare-like reality.
Phase 1 was made to be disadvantageous for melee characters, so the party composition proceeded with a minimum of melee characters, and later on, in Phase 3, they used unsafe patterns even for long-distance occupations, so I remember there was literally nothing in the community to criticize the game director.
Anyway, the older the game gets, the more difficult the patterns become. Is this pattern in Chaos Alcatraz related to the number of times?
It’s not certain yet. This is just my prediction.
But if it is really related to the number of attacks, it becomes a headache.
‘Listen to everyone. It’s not certain, but we might be able to find a way to damage Chaos Alcatraz. For now, do you all want to keep attacking like now? ‘I’ll find out as soon as possible.’
I carefully informed everyone in a whisper. There is no reason to say it out loud and let Chaos Alcatraz hear it.
“Freya, go to Ellie and treat her wounds.”
“Yes, thank God.”
Freya heard me and immediately ran in the direction where Ellie flew.
As Freyja ran, Chaos Alcatraz turned his head in that direction and made a move to get to Freyja.
Of course, you can’t just watch that.
Until now, in order to figure out the pattern of Chaos Alcatraz, I had only been watching the battle without participating, but now I will have to participate in the battle myself and find out what I just thought of.
〈Frozen Block〉
I created a wall of ice in front of Chaos Alcatraz where Freyja was watching, blocking her view.
“Where are you looking!”
Noah shouts at the same time I block the view of Chaos Alcatraz.
Then, the blood gathered under Chaos Alcatraz’s feet and turned into a spinning gust that struck Chaos Alcatraz.
〈Blood Storm〉
It sounds like sand scraping against an iron plate, but of course this won’t cause any damage.
〈Iceberg Crush〉
An inverted iceberg is created above Chaos Alcatraz in a bloody gust, and a tremendous sound echoes below.
Quagwagwang!
Although Chaos Alcatraz was not visible due to pieces of the iceberg, our attack continued.
〈Storm Strike〉
Next, Rhenia fired a missile made of wind, and the wind missile was seen passing by, blowing away the pieces of the iceberg blocking the appearance of Chaos Alcatraz.
I decided not to just watch anymore and joined in the attack.
〈Dimension Gate: Explosion〉
The space behind Chaos Alcatraz broke and exploded, and at the same time, Lien ran towards Chaos Alcatraz, jumped, and kicked.
〈Paewangsinpungak (霸皇新風脚) 〉
“Do you really still not know that attacks like this don’t work? I don’t know if you’re stupid or just don’t know how to give up.”
Chaos Alcatraz said as he held Lien’s leg, which had been thrown at him, with his hand.
The guy grabbed Lien’s legs and lifted them above his head, probably intending to beat Lien to the floor like he had done to Ellie earlier.
And the moment he was about to hit the floor, Minercia rushed at him.
〈Dragonia Burst〉
Chaos Alcatraz, hit by Minercia’s charge, paid no heed and tried to hit Lien, but Minercia bit her arm with her mouth to stop her from hitting her.
Seeing that, I also ran towards Chaos Alcatraz.
“This little thing…”
Perhaps irritated by Minercia for thwarting his own actions, Chaos Alcatraz tried to hit Minercia with his free hand.
“No!”
At that moment, Yuria ran towards her and swung her sword, cutting into her middle to block the hand of Chaos Alcatraz with her own sword.
〈Dragon Blade〉
Yuria’s sword and Chaos Alcatraz’s hand collided, emitting a loud impact sound, and Yuria was unable to withstand the impact and was pushed back into Minercia.
Minercia also let go of her Chaos Alcatraz hand and let go of her mouth in pain as she collided with her flying Yuria.
As soon as he realized that Minercia had let go of her hand, Chaos Alcatraz immediately tried to slam Lienne to the ground.
〈dash〉
The distance between me and Chaos Alcatraz was 〈 dash 〉. I immediately used it as soon as I got within range, and after touching the captured Lien, I immediately used 〈 hyper teleport〉 to rescue the captured Lien.
Chaos Alcatraz, who clearly thought that Lien, who was being held in his hand, would be pinned to the ground, looked at me with a puzzled expression at the fact that Lien escaped because of me.
I gave away his skills as if giving a gift to Chaos Alcatraz.
〈Chain Lightning〉
The lightning I shot hit Chaos Alcatraz, and I could see sparks flying through its body, but it hasn’t reacted much yet.
Not yet, not yet. As far as I remember, the attack is still lacking. Need more reps!
The moment I thought that, Chaos Alcatraz stopped paying attention to my attacks and approached me at high speed.
Lien, who saw that, stood in front of me and punched the guy.
〈 Shredding Fist 〉
Chaos Alcatraz caught Lien’s blow with her body as if it was nothing, then grabbed Lien’s arm and threw it far away.
And Chaos Alcatraz approached me and grabbed my neck and lifted me up.
“Gagging!”
As my neck was caught in the clutches of Chaos Alcatraz, I let out a pain-filled sound without realizing it.
The force he’s strangling me with is so strong that I’m suffocating.
“Really, I was going to conduct an experiment with you guys, but it’s only because you bothered me like this… You guys are the ones I don’t need anyway. It’s no longer a hassle anymore, so just die.”
The moment Chaos Alcatraz tightened his grip and was about to break my neck, I immediately used 〈Teleport〉 to teleport a little away from him.
At the same time, I unleashed an ultimate attack on him.
〈Violence Dark Spear〉
Chaos Alcatraz, surprised by my 〈 teleport 〉, was unable to react to my attack and was hit directly by the flying black giant spear.
If it’s as I expected…
The guy who was hit by my attack seemed to be pushed back, unlike before.
And from the expression on his face, I could see that he felt a little pain.
As expected, the number of times was as I expected.
Does that mean that damage is dealt at the 10th time?
Damn, who came up with this gimmick.
