On April 21, I swiped the video of "Hollow Knight" on the homepage of Station B: We can really do it! No injury four locks five doors first kill!
There is no doubt that this is a recorded video that means achieving a difficult challenge, just like the various speed and injury-free aspects of Old Man's Ring.
But such a dense barrage makes it seem a little special.
In the comments section, people don't skimp on their own compliments either.
The long-dormant "Hollow Knight" four locks and five doors, an achievement that was almost considered impossible by players, was finally conquered by a Chinese player. Under the comment area of Station B, the hollow players celebrated each other, and everyone presented their knees to the UP master of this video, Remto. Even in the steam game comment area, some people left "suggestions".
Why do hollow players call the achievement of "no harm four locks and five doors" a miracle, and after being conquered, the player runs to tell them?
Because this achievement is really too difficult.
In fact, the difficulty of completing the "Hollow Knight" is not very difficult, but like many games, the clearance is only the beginning of the game. Thanks to the game's excellent worldview, boss design, and action system, after a free dlc update called "Seekers", the Five Doors Challenge of the Holy Nest Pantheon, as a bossrush system, became a whetstone for hollow players. The little voids need to beat 44 bosses in a row here to pass five goals. Among Steam's achievements, the five-door pass rate is 3.3%, and a large part of it is unlocked or opened through software.
The number of empty online people has always been considerable, and the gold content of the "first kill" is indisputable
The four locks and five doors (also known as "r45" by the player) increase the difficulty to the extreme. Requires the player to pass through five doors while limiting the four base ability values of Bone Spikes, Souls, Shells, and Talismans. Shells and souls can be understood as health and mana, and bone spikes and amulets can be seen as bonuses to attack power and attack range. In the case of low blood volume and low magic, returning blood has become an extremely difficult luxury, and the slightest carelessness will kill you violently.
Removing all the bonuses that these players are accustomed to, players need to defeat 44 bosses in a row under these harsh conditions, the whole process is as long as an hour, which makes the four locks and five doors the most difficult achievement recognized by the empty players, and the harmless four locks and five doors are considered to be the best of the world, which is an unconquered graben.
If you use the analogy between the familiar game and the difficulty of the empty r45, it is similar to the useless man level 1 unharmed streak of "Old Man Ring", or the "Only Wolf" double difficulty six forbidden unharmed seventeen bosses combo. (The Six Prohibitions refer to the prohibition of the use of props, ninja gear, genres, dragon yin, rest, and thunder rebellion)
Due to the prohibition of the use of items, some bosses that were normally difficult in the normal process became extremely difficult under the four-lock rule, requiring players to find opportunities in the gaps and slowly grind the boss to death.
For example, Marcos in the hollow, the player is commonly known as Marquee. In the terrain of the pit daddy, combined with the self-guided bone spikes and the Dream Shield, it is difficult for the player to get close. Especially in the second stage, the number of bone nails increases, the difficulty is even higher, it is difficult to dodge the bone nails, there is still room to attack the boss. Therefore, most players play after the first stage, and use the accumulated magic to drop the boss in the second stage in one breath.
No eyes are the same thing
This is similar to the secondary ape in "Only Wolf", a headless lion ape is not difficult to fight, but after the second stage summons the female ape, it is necessary to use firecrackers to quickly kill the female ape and then go head-to-head. In the ordinary process of advancement, the double ape is not a difficult point. And among the six forbidden, the double ape is undoubtedly the most disgusting boss. Whether it is a martino in the void or a double ape, you need to tense your nerves and wait for the opportunity to steal a little damage and slowly grind the boss to death.
And those monsters who are disgusting enough in the original process, under more demanding conditions, can not tolerate a single mistake, which undoubtedly puts forward extremely high requirements for the player's basic skills and willpower. Zot in the void, the ghost in "Only Wolves", defeated such a boss without injury at the highest difficulty, I think only players who have played it understand. And defeating all bosses in one breath without injury is really an unimaginable thing.
The goal of "no harm four locks and five doors" is recognized as almost impossible to achieve before the 21st, and it is also used by players as a criterion for judging cloud players, and once someone is said r45, it can be judged that this person is a cloud player. No? Then you upload the video!
On the 21st, the video came, and the r45, which had been silent for four years, was finally realized by a Chinese player.
54 minutes of harmless video, the gold content does not need me to say more, right? Breaking millions of empty videos, this may be the last one
Let's start by looking back at the birth of this remarkable achievement.
"Hollow Knight" of the harmless four locks and five doors has actually been challenged by players, B station has always had a crushed video released, in the up of the main AnDango home page can see the traces he left on the road to struggle r45.
From his seven injuries on Feb. 6 to his nearest four injuries to R45, there was only a gap of more than 20 days. Four injuries, the distance is harmless as if it is at your fingertips, and the comments below The AnDango video also expressed their admiration and admiration, and the audience also sighed that r45 was just around the corner!
But for some reason, his pace of R45 impact came to an abrupt halt, and he didn't update the video until April. But the footsteps he left behind inspire future generations all the time, and on this mountain, there are still two core players who are still challenging this peak. It's only a matter of time before the four injuries are surpassed.
They are the protagonist of the article, Remto, and another hollow big man, WJLFF, who have broken the historical record of the former's four injuries in the two months of AnDango's silence. Remto broke through three injuries on April 10, while WJLFF followed suit, achieving two injuries on April 18.
It is exaggerated that just one day later, on April 19, Rmote raised his score to an injury!
The two bigwigs launched a frantic sprint for this challenge in April, and r45, which once appeared like a miracle in front of a large number of empty players, now seems to be close at hand.
Finally, with the end of the live broadcast of Remto and the evening of the 20th, the voice of "God" in the live broadcast room rose and fell. On April 21, the four-year-long "r45" achievement was achieved by Remto. All the hollow players cheered, and on the Tubing, foreign players also expressed their admiration and blessings to the god r.
From the 10th to the 21st, Remto, in only 10 days, achieved a three-injury to no-injury leap, and perhaps AnDango and WJLFF are only one foot away from this.
In fact, I am not an empty big guy, and I don't even experience the game in its entirety. "Hollow Knight" I only played on the computer for more than ten hours and then did not continue, not that the game is not bad, mainly because there is no time after work. After a few weeks, I opened it again, forgot about the map, and did not fill the pit in the end. As for the few bosses at Five Doors, I've only experienced it for a few hours at a friend's house.
But that doesn't mean I don't know how difficult r45 is, and how touched and admired this harmless video of R God brings me.
Because in addition to the "Hollow Knight" r45 achievement, another game achievement that I have a deep understanding of was also achieved this year - "Azure" 202 Strawberry One Life Pass. This achievement, in simple terms, is to live without dying, and complete all the levels of Azure. Anyone who believes that everyone who completes "Azure" understands what a difficult achievement this is. (Not to mention 202, 190 strawberry alchemy all gave me a whole vomit)
The whole video of "Azure" is five hours long, five hours of zero mistakes, and I only have to sacrifice my knees (I can't have so many strawberries in my life)
It's not about arguing here about which is more difficult, "Hollow" r45 or "Azure" harmless 202, which makes no sense. But anyone who believes they've played both games can agree that they're both difficult, too daunting, and they can't even come up with the idea of challenging. And it seems pointless, spending so much time in one game without even a steam achievement, what's the figure?
I think of the famous British mountaineer George, who died heroically during the second summit of Mount Everest. Mallory's famous quote "Because the mountains are there!" ”
Yes, the mountain is there! Whether it is r45 or 202, such a challenge is like Mount Everest, and the majority of players look forward to it. Challenging such impossibilities seems pointless.
But why not give it a try? Go and get to places that no one else has ever reached! This is the brave. What they embark on is a lonely road. Being harmless requires repetition and exploration over and over again, and failure is all over again. Any game, without hurting to the later stages, really tests people's mentality. I still remember that at the end of The Blue 1B level, I was only one room away from Golden Strawberry, and I was sweating profusely and my heart was racing. But the ecstasy after passing the level is irreplaceable wealth.
From the empty front page of these UPs, you can see how much they have paid for this game
On this lonely journey, there is only one winner. Remto, undoubtedly a hero, has done what no one else can do, and the first honor will always belong to him. But the others who are on the road — WJLFF, AnDango, and I don't know, the vast number of players who challenge r45 — are brave. Although most people can't lock four doors and five doors, can't collect all 202 strawberries, and can't become the person who represents all sentient beings when they reach the top. But in each attempt, I will always be better than the beginning, so it is enough.
No injury, quick pass represents the limit of challenge, is the player's highest respect for a game. Such players can also be respected by other players
As a gamer, the love of games is something we are most proud of. Of course, the game can be played with ease and enjoyment, but it can also be as lively and lively as life. Whether it's full collection, no damage, speed pass, or e-sports that collides with countless sparks, players always challenge their own and even human limits one at a time.
At this moment, the god r has become the god of all the empty players, he broke through the limits of man, proving that r45 is not exclusive to TAS, people, can be achieved; just as Jim Haynes broke through the "impossible legend" of 100 meters and ten seconds. What the Olympics pursue is the limit of mankind, because challenging the limit is the hymn of life! For players, wrestling with bosses in the game and racing against time, these are sealed in the archives and trophies, which are the traces of our challenges and hot lives.
