Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 263: Bizarre and Unbelievable! Slamming the Table in

Upon hearing this, even Gu Sheng couldn’t help but be stunned!

How many?

Eighty thousand replies in five minutes?

Shocked, Gu Sheng even felt a bit helplessly amused.

Everyone... reacted this strongly...?

It’s just a chanic boss after all!

This boss had appeared before in this world, but the chanic reminder in Sekiro wasn’t that obvious, and the boss’s difficulty was only slightly higher.

He never expected this to cause such a huge reaction among players!

Although soone had fixed this “malicious bug” within just two hours after the problem erged, the players’ intense response still surprised him a lot.

“Let see what they’re saying.”

Taking the phone handed by Sato, the first few comnts made Gu Sheng chuckle—

“In a ga like this, you actually put in a chanic boss? Well done...”

“The armored ward is killed like this! Whose ga makes chanic bosses this hard? You know I almost filled his posture bar ten tis!”

“This is hellish! Absolutely hellish!”

“I’m really stupid, I only knew Sekiro was hard, but forgot Old Thief could still add chanics to it.”

“I just can’t accept this! I’d rather believe the reason this boss can’t be killed is a bug!”

“...”

It’s clear!

Players weren’t encountering “chanic boss battles” for the first ti.

But, in previous gas, such chanic bosses were usually quite simple.

Generally, if a ga’s boss was designed to be killed by a chanic, it was always tied to the story, often over eighty percent for expanding or completing the main storyline.

Therefore, the developers would weaken the actual combat difficulty to make players focus on the story.

Either the boss would actively reveal weak points for players to attack, or players would lure the boss to a specific key area.

In short, the tasks given to players weren’t complicated, and there would definitely be obvious guidance.

Because in such boss battles, the player was effectively part of the story.

If the developers were directors, then players were actors; the director needed to guide actors on how to move and perform to earn rewards.

So gas even simplified these boss fights into QTE operations to highlight this point.

You only needed to follow the prompts to easily slay the boss (though the cutscenes were not simple).

But Sekiro was different!

First of all, this ga was insanely hard.

From the Moonview Tower outside Ashina Castle to Immortal Peak Temple, every boss and elite opponent the players encountered was extrely tough.

This ford a ntal inertia among players, instinctively believing such brutally difficult boss fights should never have chanic bosses!

Secondly, the armored samurai didn’t look like a main boss at all.

Even damn Genichiro didn’t have chanics; how could this thing have to be killed by a chanic!

However,

At this mont, they finally realized they had underestimated just how twisted Old Thief’s mindset was.

He didn’t just design a chanic boss.

Before the chanic phase, he even made you struggle and trade blows with the boss!

Players were both angry and amused!

Angry at Old Thief’s next-level twistedness!

Amused that such a simple answer could cause so many people to doubt!

From the impenetrable armor, to the inertia dragging the armored samurai into the abyss, plus the dieval knight design that clashed with Sekiro’s overall style—

“To be honest, after knowing how to beat it, this unexpected yet perfectly reasonable boss design really makes you want to praise it.”

“It’s literally a classic O. Henry ending.”

“Indeed, even after fighting so many bosses, Robert this gatekeeper is truly morable.”

“Brilliant, it really has that dark humor flavor of an O. Henry story.”

“But thinking about it, the armored samurai still shouting his son’s na as he fell off the cliff is quite tragic.”

“This ‘ti and fate’ Chinese-style fatalism is vividly expressed in this work.”

“Indeed, like Kuro’s dragon bloodline, the Demon Inspector’s steadfastness, Genichiro’s protection, and Old Robert’s persistence.”

“It’s hard to judge right or wrong, in the end, you can only say ‘ti and fate.’”

“This boss’s status in my heart is second only to Genichiro; he’s really distinctive.”

“Sotis you really can’t imagine what kind of mind Sam had to design these ga contents.”

“Feels like Old Robert will be a classic boss of this ga, like Ash in TTF.”

“Hard to say, I believe even more jaw-dropping ones are coming.”

“Really? I don’t believe it...”

“What ‘Lu Yu Has an Appointnt’?”

“Stop doubting, bro! Go watch Pew! Damn! He freaking t a super insanely huge snake in the Collapse Valley!!!”

With this comnt appearing, players began sharing breathtaking, jaw-dropping bosses they encountered on different routes—

...

Ethereal and deep.

Large horns, long horns, and grand Chinese drums.

The treacherous Collapse Valley sat north of Ashina Castle.

Snow fell thickly, turning Pew’s breath into white mist.

Faint yet majestic symphonies seed to echo through the valley.

Layered peaks and sharp cliffs descended into bottomless abysses.

In the crevices of the cliffs, dry branches crisscrossed, making swishing sounds.

Pew transford into Ashina’s Spider-Man, swinging joyfully through the valley.

Passing through the snowy natural barrier, he truly felt the taste of freedom.

Especially with such magnificent scenery, it was breathtakingly refreshing.

Pew was having a great ti.

But that was a minute ago.

Just now—

Rustle rustle.

As Pew swung past a thick deadwood, landing on a small platform at the cliff edge, snow flew at his feet.

He ca searching for essential ingredients for the Source Fragrance synthesis.

It was said that deep inside Collapse Valley, there was a necessary material for Source Fragrance—the Fragrant Water Lotus.

However, just as he was about to complain about the lack of mobs here,

Rumble—

Suddenly, the entire valley shook.

Like distant thunder rolling, or tectonic movent shaking the earth.

“An earthquake...?”

The ground trembled so violently that snow on the mountain toppled, and Pew, just landed, almost slipped off the cliff.

An intense ominous feeling rose in his chest.

He took two quick steps to the small platform, pressed against the cliff, and looked toward the sound’s origin...

At one glance!

Pew’s pupils instantly constricted!

What a presence.

Amid the heavy snow, a shadow as huge as a mountain twisted and wound through the rugged canyon.

Its gigantic head was covered with overlapping scales.

Each scale was half the size of a person!

A pair of cold vertical pupils, like abysses, radiated snow-cold chill.

It slithered along.

Its pure white body clung to the chilly cliff.

Slowly twisting.

The massive triangular head cast a shadow over the natural barrier!

In an instant!

Pew felt all his blood run cold!

This was freaking a giant snake.

No,

A giant serpent!!!

Its terrifying coiled body slowly crawled through Collapse Valley, with no end in sight!

Its forked tongue flicked out like God’s whip, each fork longer than a person!

Since childhood, Pew had been steeped in Norse mythology.

He never really grasped the giant gods who could block the sky and darken the sun.

Until now!

This enormous white snake slithering through the canyon was the eastern version of Jormungandr!

And even more terrifying,

At this mont,

The colossal white serpent was moving closer to him!

“Holy shit... holy shit holy shit holy shit!”

Pew felt his scalp tingle and goosebumps rise all over!

anwhile, the livestream chat erupted with shocked cries—

“Much appreciated crab—”

“Is this... also a boss?”

“No way, how do you fight this?”

“Is this the White Snake God?”

“Damn! Just watching this is terrifying enough; can’t imagine Pew’s state inside the motion-sensing pod.”

“Heart rate’s already 130 hahaha!”

“Horror ga.”

“I thought the biggest creatures in this ga were just Bull and the Demon Inspector on horseback.”

“To be honest, the Demon Inspector’s pressure was already intense.”

“This is beyond comprehension.”

“Damn damn damn it’s coming...”

“Damn—no no no—”

Seeing the giant snake approach, Pew’s already high blood pressure skyrocketed!

The terrifying pressure and fear even reminded him of staring at the Groom through a sheet of iron in Mountain ntal Hospital!

Even more!

The monstrous pressure from the giant serpent was a hundred tis stronger than that from the psychotics!

Hiss hiss—

Hiss hiss—

Pew hid in the white reeds, holding his breath!

The giant forked tongue flicked right over his head.

The strong, thick sll of blood seed to solidify, like a giant hand tightening around his neck.

Breathing beca rapid, heartbeat tightening!

Finally!

Pew couldn’t endure the psychological pressure anymore!

Taking advantage of the serpent’s distraction, he shifted half a step, intending to quickly leave this terrifying place.

However!

Perhaps because the reed patch on the small platform was too narrow,

Just a slight move!

[Danger]

The huge danger warning instantly lit up on Pew’s UI.

“Much appreciated—”

Pew slowly raised his head and locked eyes with the giant serpent:

“Fuck.”

Hiss—boom!!!

Suddenly!

The serpent opened its abyssal jaws, revealing two huge fangs like spears, biting straight at Pew!

“Shit—!!!”

Run!!!

Boom!

Pew took a step back, dodging into a narrow cave on the inner side of the small platform, barely escaping the deadly strike!

Next ca a tragic scream as Pew ran!

Boom boom boom—

The originally silent valley instantly shook, the serpent’s twisting sending loud rumbles!

The giant snake frantically pursued Pew, its enormous tongue slapping and biting, breaking rocks and cliff edges!

Pew ran wildly, dodging falling rocks and flying snow!

The earth shook, the mountain quaked, a disaster of a giant serpent!

With unprecedented imrsion, Pew scread repeatedly as viewers gasped in shock!

Blood pressure soared, heart rate shot up!

With a terrifying heart rate of 150, Pew was nearly collapsing under the imnse pressure, screaming while running wildly!

This unimaginably huge boss was breathtaking!

...

Springs flowing over stones.

Quiet, mysterious, with drumbeats like splashing waterfalls and intermittent chi bells.

Bodhisattva Valley lay at the bottom of Collapse Valley.

As altitude lowered, the plants turned green.

At the valley bottom, four Bodhisattva statues built against huge rocks guarded a waterfall pouring down like heavenly water.

Standing on one Bodhisattva statue’s flower-tipped finger, Hideki watched the breathtaking scene, emotions surging like a tidal wave, beyond words.

Magnificent, grand, serene, mysterious.

It was said the waterfall in Bodhisattva Valley flowed from the Source Palace.

That heavenly water flowing down from the high heavens could grant the power of resurrection.

However!

Hideki knew that so-called resurrection was just a thod to turn people into puppets controlled by parasites.

It was never a heavenly blessing, but a terrifying divine punishnt.

At this mont, in a huge shallow pool just below him, a pure white water lotus blood.

That was the Fragrant Water Lotus, one of the key materials for making Source Fragrance.

But.

Beside the lotus sat a terrifying creature—gray-white all over, mighty as Mount Tai, its fur bristling like a lion’s mane.

Its squat massive body, three people tall, was like a small mountain.

Powerful, horrifying, awe-inspiring.

More terrifyingly, a huge long sword, as long as a sapling, was stuck into its neck!

Obviously, the Lion Ape had been infected by the Source Palace’s water, gaining immortality.

“Phew—”

Hideki exhaled tensely!

Leaping, he dived into the pool, splashing water everywhere!

At the sa ti, the Lion Ape noticed him.

Splash!

The Lion Ape slowly stood, its towering body radiating terrifying pressure that darkened the sky!

The chat exploded with gasps—

“Shh—such a huge size difference...”

“What kind of monsters are these?”

“Damn... just looking at this makes shiver...”

“That sword in the neck design is so creepy.”

“I’m not kidding, the Lion Ape’s face looks way too much like a skull.”

“Goosebumps all over.”

“Suddenly miss Genichiro.”

“I was naive; so the real ga only starts after leaving the Tenshukaku.”

“These bosses are really... getting more and more ridiculous...”

“Just watching them is terrifying...”

“Here it cos!”

With a shout,

Thud! Thud!

The Lion Ape slamd the pool twice, splashing water!

Then its massive body charged at Hideki, swinging huge fists down hard!

“My—sack! Sack!!!”

Boom!

Two hits!

Hideki’s posture bar instantly filled!

“Damn!!! What the hell is this?!”

Staggering two steps, the Lion Ape swept horizontally, slapping Hideki flying!

Splash!

Water flew everywhere!

Hideki watched helplessly as his health dropped by half a bar!

The wild beast’s berserk attack style was perfectly embodied in the Lion Ape!

Like a mad dog biting, like a fierce tiger pouncing, its chaotic attacks were utterly unpredictable.

Its imnse strength made Hideki feel like a chick before it; a wave of the Lion Ape’s hand could crush him!

Thud!

With splashing water, Hideki didn’t even land a single slash before being defeated!

Ferocious! Violent! Crazy!

The huge size difference alone terrified Hideki.

The Lion Ape’s agile movents, combined with hamr-like slaps and sweeps, left him flustered and unable to find any pattern!

A raging gorilla!

Hideki often saw this phrase but could never imagine its true state.

Now!

He had witnessed it.

The frenzied, erratic steps; the mountain-like crushing attacks.

The bloodthirsty open mouth with fangs; the sharp claws raised high.

The intense, eerie strings occasionally sounded over the fierce drums; Hideki felt his nerves like those taut strings, ready to snap!

One ti, two tis, three tis...

Five tis, ten tis, twenty tis...

Focusing on the Lion Ape’s almost patternless strikes was important.

But before that, suppressing the gloomy terror in his heart was even more crucial!

Don’t shrink! Don’t close your eyes!

Hideki fell many tis but got up again and again!

It wasn’t just a battle against the Lion Ape; it was a fight against his own instinctive fear.

The blowpipe spat fierce flas, the spear thrust sharp jabs, fireworks crackled—especially effective against beasts!

His dash and follow-up strikes grew fiercer, the quick double strikes from Light Boat Flyover were even more graceful, and the powerful single-strike double combo was superb against the Lion Ape!

Bang! Bang!

After the last firecracker exploded, the final double combo hit the mark!

Thud!

The Lion Ape’s massive body finally couldn’t withstand it and collapsed to its knees!

Now!

Swoosh!

Hideki stepped on the lotus pond, lightly leapt, and jumped onto the Lion Ape’s neck!

Then he twisted the huge battle blade located under its massive head!

Creak—

With a teeth-grinding tearing sound!

Crack!

Blood splattered!

The Lion Ape’s head was forcibly severed, tumbling to the ground!

Instantly!

The chat exploded with cheers!

After two and a half hours of hard fight, Hideki let out a relieved cheer!

“Finally...”

Standing in the lotus pond, Hideki even felt like crying:

“Co on, let’s take a commorative photo.”

Since the motion-sensing pod had a screenshot function, players could choose any cara angle to take photos of themselves or monts in the ga, like a snapshot.

After selecting the position, Hideki took a deep breath: “One, two, three...”

However!

Before he could pose,

Suddenly, the sound of water rippling behind him made his heart skip a beat.

He instinctively turned around: “What’s that sound...”

His voice caught in his throat.

The huge Lion Ape now stood behind him, the huge gaping wound on its neck grueso, with exposed vertebrae and throat, blood flowing thick and sticky.

The battle blade that had beheaded it was now held in its hand, and on its left hand, it grasped its own severed head.

Terrifying!!!

Next mont, planting the blade on the ground, the Lion Ape temporarily fixed the head back onto the broken neck and let out a dreadful blood wave roar—

Roar—!!!

Heart and lungs stopped, motion-sensing pod collapsed!

The resurrected Lion Ape’s visual shock and ntal pressure completely shattered Hideki’s nerves!

The eerie and bloody boss design was truly terrifying!

...

Deep and eerie.

Dark, gloomy, with flute sounds lingering yet not a bit clear, filled with sinister energy.

This was the aquatic village at Ashina’s bottom.

Perpetual heavy fog enveloped the area, making it nearly barren.

The muddy swamp was full of poison, and the dilapidated grass huts occasionally saw villagers with stiff, hollow, vacant faces wandering.

“Don’t let them find you.”

The critically ill old man Queen t in a broken grass hut warned him.

As Ashina’s lowest point, the aquatic village was the farthest place from the Source Palace.

The heavenly water flowing down from the skies turned into corrupted water by the ti it reached the aquatic village.

However, this farthest place was the only known path to reach the Source Palace and marry into the fairyland.

Thus, the nobles of the Source Palace blew the flute, causing swirling fog to envelop the village.

Then, they seduced the village priests to distribute intoxicating wine.

And after drinking too much wine, one drank water.

Drinking water turned people into “corrupted ones.”

They went mad, chaotic, hysterical.

The villagers’ blackish blue eye sockets always flickered with red like the Chained Ogre!

They were outsiders’ funeral escorts, a shield exploited by the Source Palace.

The culprit behind all this was the fog-hidden noble standing before a screen, holding a horizontal flute and playing strange tunes.

He wore a red robe, bent and withered, his gray-white skin long lost human color.

Four octopus-like tentacles stretched from beneath his robe, sending chills down the spine.

“Wow! It’s Octopus Bro!”

“Flute sounds awful, tentacles—case solved!”

“Detective!”

“This is still one of the few bosses with a normal size along the way.”

“This guy is absolutely insanely strong...”

“Indeed, below Collapse Valley is Bodhisattva Valley, below that is the aquatic village—this should be the major boss closest to the bottom.”

“Go Queen, go!”

“My advice: max buffs first, try one round of skills to see this boss’s attacks.”

“Reasonable, appoint him as Chief Strategist of Qin Kingdom.”

“I second that...”

“...”

With the battle imminent, the chat was filled with tense discussions.

Queen took a deep breath.

Having co this far, he knew how dangerous it was and never underestimated any boss.

Now, this was Ashina’s lowest layer.

A boss controlling such a large village was no good guy.

Gulp—gulp—gulp—

Queen wasn’t stingy; he took fire resistance, poison resistance, fear resistance, persimmons, multicolored rice, Attack Candy, and Mortal Body Sugar, even enchanted Kusabimaru with Divine Snow.

Ready!

Queen charged in a leap like a leopard from the roof beam!

His glowing purple Kusabimaru stabbed sharply into the fog-hidden noble’s back!

“Justice assassination! RUA!”

Puff—!!!

Since the fog-hidden noble had two health bars, to skip a phase quickly and suffer less, Queen chose assassination for the first strike.

Shhh!

Kusabimaru pulled out, trailing a long blood spray!

Queen didn’t dare linger, two quick steps out, raising Kusabimaru, ready for the counterattack!

Queen’s worry was justified.

Despite taking a heavy hit, the fog-hidden noble turned slowly, unhurriedly, and pulled out the golden hairpin on his head.

His aura, his posture, his calm and composed actions.

Everything made Queen serious and alarm bells ring in his heart!

Hiss—

What a composed boss!

Looks like this battle would not be simple...
