After learning Instance his next game would be in, Shen Hao immediately began checking out the Instance guide.
He needs to understand the Instance beforehand in order to formulate a strategy.
Now that the issue of Anomalous Instances has been made public, he can no longer treat every Instance as he did before, and he has more things to consider.
After all, players are no longer as ignorant and naive as before; they can easily detect when something is wrong and find a way to deal with it.
Furthermore, he cannot allow any player to escape unscathed, otherwise those players will be even stronger in the next Instance.
He also didn't want the players to commit suicide, because that would affect the Fear Points he could gain.
This Instance is called Monster Factory.
He was a very pure scientist, but in the eyes of others, he was also a madman.
He has always been exploring the ultimate mysteries of the human body, constantly transforming his own physique, yearning for power and eternity, and the perfect form is his lifelong pursuit.
Until he acquired that thing, he regarded it as his most precious possession.
Because this thing can lead him to true perfection.
He began conducting experiments recklessly, and countless people were turned into monsters because of them.
But that was undoubtedly a crazy decision, and it had disastrous consequences...
This is the background information for the Instance; it's not very clear, but it does provide some key details.
That Mad Scientist should be the boss of the Instance, which is his identity after entering the Instance.
I wonder what that perfectionist scientist would be like.
The perfection that a madman sees is something that normal people cannot understand.
But he'll probably like it very much.
Shen Hao opened the official Instance walkthrough.
The Instance difficulty is SS level. The mission objective is to kill the Mad Scientist and obtain his legacy.
Many teams have already entered this Instance.
There are now many guides available for this Instance, and players have almost explored everything about Instance.
This Instance is almost at the end, just one step away from completion.
Therefore, it's quite lucky to be matched with such Instance.
Moreover, this Instance will be Anomalous Instance, with two layers of luck combined, these players are practically winning the lottery.
After reviewing the Instance walkthrough, Shen Hao memorized all the important clues.
"The Monster Factory is a factory on the outskirts of the city, filled with monsters created by that mad scientist, and even the factory workers have been modified by him."
However, those monsters have little intelligence and a fatal weakness: they can be killed by breaking the canisters containing the blue liquid on them.
These monsters will attack any living person they see. While a single one is easy to deal with, a large number of them can be quite troublesome.
It's recommended to kill a few of those monsters first, collect the blue liquid in bottles, and carry them with you.
That way, the monsters won't attack you, provided you don't do anything too outrageous.
"The BOSS's residence is located in the basement of one of the buildings in the middle of Monster Factory, and his laboratory is also there."
It's dangerous there. There's a monster underground, but I don't know what it looks like because it's so big.
This monster was created by the BOSS and only obeys the scientist's orders. Anyone who dares to enter will be killed immediately upon discovery.
Even the factory workers dared not go near it.
To safely enter that place, one must prepare enough blue liquid, smear it all over their body, and conceal their presence as a living person before entering.
Those blue liquids can enhance strength, but they also have side effects.
"We entered the mad scientist's lab, where I found the notes he had left behind."
Based on his notes, we can deduce what happened here.
This scientist was a madman; he spent his entire life pursuing perfection. Although he didn't achieve true perfection, he did achieve some results.
He greatly admired someone, and he worked under that person.
He wanted to become that person because, in his eyes, that person was the most perfect being.
Later, that person died, apparently killed by the scientist and others, and the Mad Scientist also got a share of the spoils.
In his attempt to study the trophy, he captured many people for experiments, but ultimately failed, turning himself into a mindless monster.
It's almost certain that the legacy mentioned in the quest is what this scientist was researching; obtaining it will allow you to complete one of the Instance quests.
"Without any clues about the legacy, our team decided to kill the boss, but we didn't succeed."
The boss will enter a berserk state during battle. Once in berserk mode, it becomes extremely dangerous and virtually impossible to defeat.
However, we discovered the BOSS's weakness: every time he goes berserk, he loses an energy core.
Once all the energy cores are destroyed, this boss is basically useless.
In addition, the BOSS can summon the monster underground; when they join forces, they are incredibly powerful.
Three of our team members died at once. If it weren't for a certain item I had, you wouldn't be seeing this guide.
Shen Hao saw the walkthrough for the last team; this team had basically figured out how to kill the BOSS.
Keep fighting the BOSS until it goes berserk, and then you can kill the BOSS by completely destroying its energy core.
In other words, if he doesn't appear, the Instance will be cleared in no time.
The strategy guide is now fully public and available to everyone, which is why there are many player comments below Instance.
Of course, most of these people had never actually entered the Instance; they were just casually browsing. But as the saying goes, an outsider's perspective is often clearer, and some of their comments were helpful in clearing the instance.
"The legacy of the Instance boss should be very important; it might be on the monsters underground, or it might be on the boss himself."
To clear this Instance, you'll definitely have to kill them all.
Since the BOSS was a scientist, he has now turned into a monster who acts only on instinct.
"Is it possible to lure him out of the lab using some props? Like his notebooks or experimental equipment?"
"Since the BOSS can modify other creatures, can we also use his research results to modify ourselves? Perhaps this is a way to pass the game."
What Shen Hao and the others said makes a lot of sense; perhaps the next team will actually use these methods.
But now that he knows these methods, they definitely won't work.
