Chapter 464 - 447: Three Strategies for Conquest
Chapter 464: Chapter 447: Three Strategies for ConquestZhuge Jun first came to the forum to briefly check out the discussions, and then he opened the video site, wanting to
"Everyone, remember, don’t be greedy with your attacks at first. Just wait in place and observe the boss’s moves. We can only GP when it uses these specific moves; otherwise, avoid them all with a dodge."
Zhuge Jun couldn’t help but admire Heilong’s professionalism in purchasing three different weapons.
Although grinding for money is painful, it was clear that Heilong had used the substantial funds earned from beating bosses to save time on purchasing weapons.
Zhuge Jun took a serious look and memorized a few key points for GP.
Actually, GP can be both difficult and easy.
If you rely solely on visual cues to GP the boss’s actions, it’s quite hard because Transformation Slash GP has a windup. If you wait until you see the boss’s attack about to hit you, it’ll be too late. Relying on instinct isn’t reliable either, as being off by just a few frames can lead to vastly different outcomes.
But if you remember the GP points of the boss’s actions, it gets much simpler.
For instance, with the boss’s "Double Hand Slam", you need to GP with the Sword Spear’s dual-wielding form changing into the two-handed form right when the boss lifts its hands to the highest point to correctly GP this slow attack.
If you’re using the faster dual swords for GP, you need to execute it about 0.1 second after the boss raises its hands, specifically when the cogs on the boss’s body produce a third rapid clicking sound.
Breaking down the boss’s actions like this, you can find GP points for all its moves.
If you GP at the specific timing, the success rate is very high.
"The second method is to not go for GP and focus on part destruction and suppression.
"This method involves dodging the boss’s attacks, but pay attention, it’s not about scrapping by with dodges. In ’Blood of Lies’, this approach doesn’t have any future since the risk and reward are totally disproportionate.
"The game severely punishes failed dodges, as being hit during a dodge can lead to the destruction of the player character’s parts, making the subsequent fight almost unplayable.
"To make things worse, the giant beastification puppet has many fast and slow attacks designed to catch the afterframes of a player’s dodge, so trying to practice Perfect Dodges and ensuring you dodge most of the boss’s attacks is not necessarily easier than practicing GP."
"The core of the second strategy isn’t scrapping by with dodges, but targeting part destruction.
"If you can play unlocked, that’s the best. If you can’t, then you should follow my method and deliberately target the boss’s parts with Transform Slash or a two-handed Heavy Attack during certain specific actions.
"Moreover, if you have some special items, like the Fire Talisman or Blood Medicine pills available early in the game, you can achieve part destruction more quickly."
Zhuge Jun took a look and found that the second strategy also seemed quite good.
If you can play unlocked, it’s possible to hit the boss’s weak spots during certain specific actions.
These weak points include the head, chest, and groin, with the chest and groin being where the beastification drivers are located, so enchanting your weapon with a Fire Talisman can deal even more substantial damage.
Normally, these three parts are hard to hit because of the range of the weapon, and even though the lock-on provides different options for feet, groin, and head, it’s tough to land hits due to the boss’s quick movements.
It’s only during certain special actions of the boss that you can find the right timing to output damage.
This method might take a bit longer than the first strategy, but it’s more suitable for players who simply can’t get the hang of GP.
"The third strategy involves using special mechanics in the game.
"We need to tell a lie to reduce the difficulty of the boss.
"First, we come to this spot on the map, which is accessed via an alternate route leading to this platform overlooking the bridge. There’s also an NPC here."
"Speak to this NPC, and he will ask if we intend to cross the bridge.
"Everyone, pay attention at this moment! If you’re not sure, save your game manually first. The response is a choice between two options, but it’s very important. Our choice will directly determine the difficulty level of this boss fight."
