Song Ren felt very frustrated at that moment.
Defeating a boss should have been something exceptionally satisfying in a Souls-like game.
But right now, he felt nothing of the sort.
Because that soldier had been absurdly weak!
"This must be CEO Chen's twisted sense of humor again." After his initial bewilderment, Song Ren thought it over and accepted it.
After all, situations like this were not uncommon. For example, in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, didn't players encounter the ridiculously weak boss Mist Noble halfway through the game?
And this boss was also serving as a Tutorial boss, so it was understandable for it to be a little weaker.
On top of that, while Elden Ring was a Souls-like game, it also carried the Open World label. Clearly, CEO Chen had not gone too hard on the difficulty balance.
"Looking at it this way, the bosses in Elden Ring's early game should all be fairly easy. That Noble Descendant from before wasn't actually anything special when I thought about it. It was only hard because I didn't have any Blood Vials." Song Ren continued exploring ahead and returned to the starting area. After picking up a gesture, a faint smile appeared on his face.
As a Souls-like veteran player who had gone from Dark Souls to Sekiro, he could not call himself an expert, but he had some experience at least.
Upon reaching the second Site of Grace, Song Ren remembered that he had chosen the Golden Seed as his keepsake. He could use it to add another Blood Vial, and he also converted his other blue flask into a Blood Vial.
After all, he had chosen the Knight. There was no need for mana, and although there was a Weapon Skill system, Song Ren did not care about it at
