As we all know, no one is born a game master, and no matter how high the level is, the god has slowly grown up from the game novice. However, even as the game gets higher and higher, many players will never forget the boss who beat them or even persuaded them to quit when they were newbies. In particular, some novices in famous games persuade them to quit bosses, and there are a large number of novice players who have received their education.
For example, the first newbie boss I met in my gaming career was the boss of the second chapter of Diablo 2. At that time, I didn't have long been in contact with Dark, and I played a druid, and I played it very easily in the first chapter, summoning two wolves to chop melons and vegetables all the way, even the first chapter BOSS Andariel was easy to solve.
This naturally also made my mentality swell, and after entering the second chapter of the game, although the strength of the monster has become a lot higher, but fortunately, it can still be handled, so I didn't choose to brush some good equipment but directly chose to continue to advance the main story. Until the end of the chapter, the boss in front of Dureel.,I thought this boss and Andariel could be easily solved.,How do you know that it's been seconds before you come back to your senses.,And then I tried several times and it was the same ending.,At one point, I thought it was a bug in the game.。
If there are veteran players who have played "Diablo 2", they must have the same experience, the difficulty of the boss of Durrell has suddenly risen several notches compared to the previous enemy, and most professions can only defeat it by buying a full blood vial + returning to the city through the portal to replenish it after drinking the blood vial. Fortunately, Blizzard is still merciful.,Durrell won't automatically regenerate.,If it can automatically regenerate health.,It's estimated that I would just give up the pit and stop playing.。
The second famous novice to dissuade the boss is Mr. Guda from "Dark Souls 3", the name of this boss must be very familiar whether you have played Black Souls 3 or not. Don't look at what many players say now that Guda is not difficult, it has passed a few times after the first meeting, that is because many games over the years have basically more or less some soul game characteristics, whether it is BOSS design or combat difficulty, after experiencing these high-intensity training, the player's level has naturally improved, and then go back and play this old game in 2016 will naturally feel that the difficulty is just like that.
But when I played it for the first time, many players, including me, had hardly ever been exposed to this type of game, and it was normal for Guda to die dozens of times or even be persuaded to quit. I'm still a little better.,Because I've been playing games since I was a child.,So it took about 1 hour to play.,A few of my friends followed the trend into the Black Souls 3 and all of them were beaten out of the game by Mr. Guda.,The game duration is now more than 1 hour.。
The third newbie to dissuade the boss is the brute-jawed dragon from Capcom's famous game "Monster Hunter: World", which is different from soul games, and the difficulty curve of monster hunting is relatively smooth, and it will not make novices feel too high intensity when they first enter the game. But as the game progresses, the difficulty of the monster hunt will get higher and higher, until the end the difficulty is even far greater than that of soul games, and the early and mid-stage boss of the Brute Jaw Dragon is the best example.
Most new monster hunting players must have a relaxed and enjoyable time when playing the first few quest bosses, and even have the feeling that the difficulty of monster hunting is no more than that. But all this will change after receiving the task of hunting the Brute-Jawed Dragon, even the Brute-Jawed Dragon of the lower difficulty can directly kill the player at this time, and most players have seen what the cat car of this game looks like through the Brute-Jawed Dragon. Capcom is also bad at this, setting the novice to dissuade the boss near the middle of the game, and by the time the player realizes that he can't beat it, it's too late to refund.
The last newbie to dissuade the boss is the Big Tree Guard from the 2022 Game of the Year "Elden Ring", which is not technically a boss because it is only an elite monster in the later stages, but it was thrown at the beginning of the game by Hidetaka Miyazaki. And it doesn't have its own unique boss room, but its ability to persuade novices to quit is not at all lower than the main boss of the eight classics.
Unlike other novices who are persuaded to quit, the Big Tree Guard is not only for novices, but also for many veteran Soul Game players who will be beaten by it when they play the Old Man's Ring for the first time. In fact, in terms of game progress, the Big Tree Guardian is not for the player to fight at the beginning, because its strength is at the level of enemies in the middle of the game, and the best route is to explore the Weeping Peninsula and then come back to fight it is much easier.
But this is precisely the malice of the production team, they deliberately put such a mid-game enemy at the beginning of the game, so that both novice and veteran players can't help but want to defeat him at the beginning of the game, and always feel like a deserter when taking a detour. Players with a good mentality may eventually defeat it after a few hours of hard fighting and gain a huge sense of achievement, but more players are beaten by it and the mentality collapses and deletes the game.
summary
In fact, there are many such famous novice bosses, such as Madame Butterfly in "Wolf", Curser in "Dark Souls 2", etc., their common feature is to give novice players a little difficulty shock, but at the same time, they will not have a large number of difficult skills like the late boss. It only takes a little summary of their rules to defeat them, but once they lose patience with them, then they will really be persuaded by the game. What is the most memorable dissuasion boss you have encountered in your gaming career?
