Chapter 156 The Doomed Sad Journey of Spreading Fire

And after the actual ending of the game, one after another, players who are more in-depth in this aspect began to post articles, and launched in-depth analysis and thinking about this game.

such as.

A certain Tang Yunpeng who fished at work.

"Dark Soul, a magnificent but doomed sad journey to spread fire"

"Note: The following content involves full spoilers, viewers who have not played the game, please watch as appropriate.

The overall process of Dark Souls is still very clear.

The protagonist of the undead walks out of the North Undead Hospital, and after ringing two wake-up bells in the Undead Church and the Sick Village, he successfully meets the world's big snake, Ramt, at the Chuanhuo Sacrificial Ground.

It will tell the player that it is an old friend of the Sun King Gwen, and the purpose of appearing here is to guide the undead to get the king weapon, collect the king's soul, spread fire, and continue the world.

When the undead go to the ancient city of Sion and defeat the giant steel puppet, they will be sent to the royal city "Arnor Londe" by the flying imps, where the undead will defeat "Ornstein" and "Smo" here, and then they will successfully meet To the giant treasure chest... no.

Gwen's daughter, Sunshine Princess Gavi Avia.

After she handed over the king weapon to the undead, the mission of the undead is to go to all over the world to kill the bosses who hold the soul of the king.

The Four Little Lund Kings, Izaris Witch who has become a hotbed of chaos, Tomb King Nite, White Dragon Heath...

What those players saw or didn't see in the ancient dragon war, as long as they have the "king soul" in their hands, they are the targets of the undead.

In the end, after successfully defeating Wuxin King Gwen, the player will choose to spread the fire and continue the entire age of fire.

In the process, players will also learn about the background story of Dark Soul, as well as the deepest despair and helplessness contained in this world.

Mr. Luo's creation of the atmosphere and the construction of the world in Soul of Darkness can be said to be breathtaking, and he has taught the industry a lesson.

Note that the industry I am talking about is not a domestic game circle, but a lesson for all game producers in the world.

At the very beginning of the story, in the opening CG, the old woman telling the story has clearly told us that the fire will go out and the world will come to an end.

First of all, it sets a main tone for the atmosphere of the whole world.

Right now, we are living in the end times.

It is also under such circumstances that the undead man controlled by the player, a guy who was supposed to wait for the end of the world in the courtyard of the undead, but because of the intrusion of a knight, we learned some of the most basic information about this world , and then inexplicably shouldered the mission.

To be honest, the portrayal of "knight" at the beginning is not uncommon in many knight novels throughout the ages.

Its main purpose is to increase the player's sense of immersion in the game. The old-fashioned is a little old-fashioned, but you can't deny that this kind of creation is very easy to use.

But what is different is that in general games and novels, after the knight has finished guiding the protagonist, he should receive the box lunch thoroughly.

In the following plot, the only chance to appear may be the stimulant used to explode seeds when the protagonist encounters setbacks.

But in the soul of darkness, when the player successfully opened the elevator from the undead parish outside the city to the fire-passing sacrificial field, we can come to the upper part of the fire-passing sacrificial field, where we find the Crow's Nest in Rodland.

Just curl up here for 30 seconds, and the crow will be able to take us back to the Northern Court of the Undead.

Let me say a digression here.

Mr. Luo, what are you thinking in your head?Those shortcuts in Dark Souls are outrageous!

Do you know how surprised I was when an elevator came directly from the diocese to the fire sacrifice site?

I even started 3D modeling by myself and tried to draw the whole map of Dark Souls!

Amazing, I never thought the map could do this.

Closer to home.

When the player returns to the initial map, we return to the small room where the knight entrusted everything to us.

He has turned into a ghost and started attacking us players.

When I killed the knight with my own hands and obtained his shield, Mr. Luo, I really wanted to scold you severely.

But after the mood at that time calmed down for a while, I suddenly felt a little empty.

This ghost world.

As long as the undead lose their faith, they will become a fucking world of ghosts.

The knight who guides us at the beginning is just a microcosm of the huge world of Dark Souls. In fact, there are more tragedies hidden in this world.

Solal, the solar knight who wants to shine and become the sun to bring warmth to others.

He has been helping us since our first encounter in Undead Town.

The twin gargoyles in the clock tower, the gluttonous dragon at the bottom, the twin bases of the royal city of Anor Londo...

He is like a ray of light, warming all the players who were tortured by the design of the old thief's underworld, and he is the only light in our dark soul world.

But in the end, because he couldn't find his own sun, he was eventually eroded by sun worms and lost his humanity.

I remember when this episode came out, the old thief was immediately searched (laughs).

The discouraged brother who has been persuading the undead from the beginning to the end, actually hides a trace of unwillingness in his heart.

And as the undead successfully challenged more and more areas, after ringing the two awakening bells representing the mission of the undead.

He will also say "Oh... Shall I try to work harder..."

But when the player saw this guy in the ruins of Little Lund later, he also lost his humanity and became a ghost who would attack wildly when he saw an undead.

That's the way the world is fucked up, but in a world that's dying, it doesn't seem out of the question.

Using the experience of little people to reflect the times, Mr. Luo's use of this aspect can be said to be quite mature.

And in terms of immersion.

It can only be said that Mr. Luo is Mr. Luo after all, and he hides all his secrets in the background story of Dark Soul.

The fire is about to go out, and the world is about to be destroyed. The first thing to consider is not the undead, but the top layer of the world.

For example, Sun King Gwen, Izaris Witch and so on.

That is to say, the sky fell and there was a tall man holding it up.

What did Gwen do?He chose to join the first fire and turn himself into a firewood to delay the end of the world.

It seems romantic, but we also have to see the price behind the romance.

In the dilapidated royal city, with the eldest son of the sun being exiled and the princess of the sun marrying away, he can only rely on the second son "Shadow Sun" Gwendelyn to use phantoms to support and maintain the dignity of the gods.

The witch of Izaris tried in vain to create a new primordial fire with the fire of humanity and chaos.

But the experiment failed, and the flames of chaos were completely out of control. Not only was she swallowed by the flames, she turned into a hotbed of chaos, constantly breeding demons to cause disaster to the world.

Her younger brother turned into a "creature that continues to fester", and her seven daughters either died or fled.

Bailongxis was frantically carrying out his own crystallization experiments in the big library, completely losing his sanity.

Throughout the world of Dark Souls.

The top layers are using their own methods to continue this era, even at an unimaginable price.

This is how the creation of the epic sense came about.

So why, I say again, is Dark Souls destined to be a tragedy?

On the surface, the player successfully obtained all the king souls, and passed the flame on instead of Ge Wen who had been burned.

The age of fire can be continued, and the world can be saved.

But what we need to know is that even the first fire will be extinguished one day, not to mention the flame that is continued by the undead of our players?

Eventually the flame will go out, and all efforts will be in vain.

The story of Dark Souls is destined to be just a tragedy...

But thanks to Mr. Luo for being able to present such a work of art to all of our players who love games.

I also thank Mr. Luo for being able to teach us all practitioners in the game industry a valuable lesson. "

And under Lao Tang's blog post, countless players who have personally experienced the journey of Dark Souls are also inexplicable in their hearts.

"Yeah, as long as it is fire, it will eventually go out one day. Gwen can't stop it, Witch Izaris can't stop it, and undead people can't stop it.

After all, the so-called fire journey was futile and a complete tragedy.

Perhaps what Brother Huxin did was right, sitting in the courtyard of the undead and waiting for the end of the world would be fine. "

"I hold a different view. The wheel of history is rolling forward. Who can guarantee that no one will be able to really research a way to completely continue the age of fire in the future?

As long as the world exists, there is hope, and hope is the most precious thing. "

"The problem is, this is the age of fire, since Mr. Luo used the meaning of fire, the meaning is already very obvious.

Have you ever seen a fire that burns forever and never goes out?So what if everyone's souls are put into it?In the end, it will definitely be burned to nothing.

When there is nothing left to burn, the Age of Fire will still end. "

"Spread the fire? Not at all!"
