Duolin - Broadsword Form: [Image]*4, with four attack methods: diagonal slash, straight slash, reverse slash, and thrust (finishing move).
Method 1: Directed Alienation, defensive tool. You must withstand the first two attacks without failing. In this form, Duolin will always finish with a stab; dodge if you can, otherwise taking the hit shouldn't be a problem and you won't fall off the platform. Howling Pothos
Method 2: Place a hardened fragment of the item [Cocoon] inside the coat lining. Although it will make you look bulky, it will greatly increase your defense. If you lose your balance, ignore everything and crawl back to the center. Duolin will then be unable to knock you off the platform. Note: This type of coat costs 80 copper coins. If you are interested, you can purchase it from @Shit Appraisal Master and @Good Times Don't Last.
Duolin - Spear/Staff Form: [Image]*5, with two attack methods: Horizontal Sweep (random heights at ankle, waist, and neck), and Stab (random locations at chest and brow).
Method 1: Bring your own weapons for the challenge. Choose two short spears, insert the spearheads into the rammed earth to defend against the sweeping attacks. If one spear breaks, use the second. If you stab the forehead, crouch to dodge the attack; if you stab the chest, lean forward to avoid falling off the platform. If you only stab and don't sweep, restart the game. @Zhongde
Method 2 for passing the checkpoint: None available at the moment.
More strategies are constantly being developed.
Players browsing the post initially thought there was no more new content, but after refreshing the page, a new post appeared:
Duolin - Hidden (Ranged) Form: [Image]*1, One attack method: Fire crossbow bolts.
Triggering condition: Failing to clear the stage three times in a row will trigger " Duolin's Bitter Smile ". The hidden ranged form will be triggered on the next attempt.
Walkthrough: In this state, Duolin hardly moves and fires three crossbow bolts from three different directions. You can dodge them as long as you don't align yourself with the "cannon muzzle" on his wrist. It's almost effortless. Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger
Note: The long-term quest titles obtained for completing the game in five moves, three moves, and hidden mode are Elite Warrior, Warrior, and Logistics Warrior, respectively. Please choose the game difficulty accordingly.
That concludes the post; the comments below are even more varied:
"@Litang Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger [ Duolin's bitter smile. jpg] Pure and simple flight."
" Howling Pothos Thank you so much, it's approved."
"To add to that, when using the methods of Pothos and Pond Fish and Old Abyss, be careful with your Willpower Points. I'm currently being double-teamed by a Deadwood Vine and a Strangler Fig."
"Trust me, everyone! @ Shit Appraisal Master's method is really effective, isn't it? Eighty copper coins can solve your problems!"
"Did the person upstairs buy a Guangzi? Damn, they're a genius!"
" Zhongde, could you summarize your strategy for clearing the game as the 'get beaten up' approach?"
"..."
This guide caused quite a stir both inside and outside the game. Casual gamers found it fascinating, while those struggling in-game gained some insight into how to complete the game.
Aside from the last one, which is really embarrassing, you should try the other methods.
Soon, other types of posts appeared on the forum. Although they all centered on the same issue, some were strategy guides, some were walkthrough videos, and some were naturally venting posts, including but not limited to:
BYD Duolin identified as a Civil War Phantom God
I've never seen an NPC so bullying; I thought I was playing a mind-bending game.
Why hasn't this guy's information been moved from the NPC encyclopedia to the BOSS encyclopedia yet?
"I've already been killed three times, but I don't want to be in logistics. Is there any way to stop him from giving me a bitter smile?"
Where is Duolin's Hoofed Beast? I'll make him lose his horse!
In the game, among the onlookers.
[ The Evergreen Tree ] observed the Duolin on the earthen platform, then looked at the two students beside it:
"Did you find anything?"
[ Dawn Ah ] said:
"His movements were actually a bit stiff, but his expressions were very rich..."
[ Backstabbing Expert ]: " Duolin seems a little unhappy."
[ Evergreen Tree ]: "That's what I think too. I always felt that Duolin wasn't very focused during the battle, as if he was distracted by something."
[ Dawn Ah ]: "Is there something preventing him from unleashing his full potential?"
[ Evergreen Tree ] Thinking about long-term quests, the qualification requirements, and the subtly decreasing game difficulty:
"It feels like they're just letting us win, like... someone wants us all to join the fight."
[ Backstabbing Expert ]: "Isn't this great? It's really fun when everyone plays together."
[ Evergreen Tree ]: "I hope so. I just hope the battles in the game aren't too realistic..."
While the qualifiers were in full swing at the player base, the hidden battlefield twenty kilometers away was not quiet either.
Sunlight filtered through the intertwined branches and leaves, scattering across the ground that had just been washed by yesterday's heavy rain, creating a damp mist that rose up on this midsummer morning.
Beside a large tree, a black cylindrical object as tall as a person slowly opened a crack, and the [ Dark Archmage ] looked out through it.
The situation in the woods was exactly the same as when I logged off last night, and the distant White Wax Town still looked as lifeless as ever.
Great, everything is normal.
Having confirmed that the current situation was safe, [ Dark Archmage ] began browsing the update announcements that were still visible in his field of vision.
These are indeed excellent optimizations, especially for players like myself who prefer solo play.
After all, it's always a bit strange to do something like infiltration during the day.
Now that free login is available, it's definitely a good thing for me.
She thought about her mission and decided to first go back to White Wax Town to show her face to avoid arousing suspicion, then log off and wait until night to conduct her infiltration investigation.
The Dark Archmage emerged from the cocoon and carefully examined its condition.
The [Cocoon] is one of the three initial items. It is neither as useful as the Vine Bandage Pack nor as infamous as the Paralysis Bomb. It simply has little presence.
Even the veteran players who initially thought of using this thing as a shield never had the time to use it, except for two oddballs who wanted to make money and recoup their losses 20 kilometers away.
But [ Dark Archmage ] now genuinely thinks this thing is pretty good, it's just a bit expensive.
The unactivated [cocoon] state is similar to a wad of compressed foam; once used, it cannot return to its original state.
But this doesn't mean it's just a disposable sleeping bag; it just means you can't move it around freely.
