Gamers of the Underworld

Chapter 251: Group’s Initial Trial Attack Strategy Guide

Candidate 59865 and his companions were gazing at the crystal balls that showed 15 gamers gathering. Then a Lich candidate controlled the final BOSS, which was a powerful Skeleton Magician, to confront the gamers.

Then the BOSS spoke to the gamers while magical effects lit up the sides of the BOSS. As the Lich was making the BOSS leave the scene, the gamers charged at the BOSS.

“Wait, what’s the situation? Didn’t I say for them to find me at the final hall?”

“Did you say it incorrectly? Why didn’t the Gnomes and Houndhead Men follow the instructions?”

“Gosh, what should we do? The notes didn’t have this scenario!”

“What notes? How did they compile the notes?”

Amongst the noisy shouting, the student Liches quickly controlled their BOSSES and minions to engage the 15 gamers.

According to the examination rules, they weren’t allowed to engage all their monsters with the combatants. They were only allowed to engage two BOSSES and 20 minions with the combatants for each battle.

The student Liches treated the 15 vulnerable gamers like ants, but after killing a gamer, a half-naked gamer would emerge from the entrance behind them.

The Skeleton Magician BOSS was getting more and more injuries. Candidate 59865 and his companions were starting to panic.

...

“Don’t flee from the battle!”

A Gnome warrior wielded his shield to deflect the shower of frosted arrows. The BOSS, who was full of injuries, wanted to make use of his Mana attacks to retreat.

However, two more Gnomes engaged the BOSS in combat, so the BOSS was unable to retreat.

There were numerous skeleton fragments and signs of explosions. This place had gone through fierce battles.

“Kill the BOSS! He’s going down!” TakeASpearHit shouted as he thrust his Pike at the BOSS with his eyes closed.

All their revised tactics were ineffective when they met the first BOSS as he had Mana Skills! In addition, his bones were tough. The BOSS was still standing even after ten Bladder Bombs exploded.

The gamers had fought for two hours. The Mana-wielding BOSS was going down as his Mana attack frequency decreased, and his speed was lethargic. Most importantly, his magical aura was weakening.

Though the gamers couldn’t see his health points, they estimated his remaining health from his Mana aura.

They were quite accurate.

After the BOSS released his magical snowstorm, he half-knelt on the ground, while the magical flames in his eye sockets started flickering.

The last fatal blow landed on his spine, and the BOSS collapsed to the ground.

“Gosh! We spent two hours to kill the entrance guarding BOSS. How difficult is this Instance Dungeon?”

“Fortunately, we managed to defeat the BOSS with our unlimited Revivals. How are we going to fight the next BOSS? We can’t possibly depend too much on our Revivals.”

“It’s alright, the BOSSES can’t heal themselves. We’ll grit our teeth and take turns to engage the BOSS until it’s dead.”

“That sounds logical.”

The gamers collected their loot and stored it at a designated location.

This Instance Dungeon was similar to the 5-member Instance Dungeon. There was no way out unless the gamers killed themselves or exited via the Teleport Portal at the final stage of the Instance Dungeon.

The only difference was that they could have unlimited entries into the Instance Dungeon, provided the 15-member limit wasn’t breached. This gave the gamers a chance to defeat the BOSS using unlimited Revivals.

However, the difficulty had increased exponentially.

The surviving gamers waited for the revived gamers to catch up. After all of the members were accounted for, the group ventured deep into the Instance Dungeon.

...

Sherlock was in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall using the computer to browse the discussion forum.

As the new Instance Dungeon was open, the gamers’ attention was diverted from Winterfell to the new Instance Dungeon. After a day and a night of fighting in the new Instance Dungeon, there were many related posts on the front page of the forum.

The most popular post was created by NotWearingPants.

[“Specter College: Troops Training Grounds” Initial Trial Attack Strategy]

“✺◟(∗❛ᴗ❛ั∗)◞ Hello everyone, I am NotWearingPants.

It’s time for your favorite Strategy Guide. I’m discussing the 15-member Trial Attack Strategy.

I will talk about the main rules instead of the preparatory missions since the official website has information regarding the preparatory missions. This post is about the group-based content for the new Instance Dungeon.

No. 1: Group preparations. I will discuss the configuration, which is similar to the 5-member group. Every member should have a Small Round Shield. The group also requires a wind-related Magician with the Protective Wind Mana Skill. Using a shield to deflect Mana attacks from Magician BOSSES is not favorable. The best solution is to use Protective Wind to protect companions.

I won’t emphasize the importance of having two sets of equipment, food, and other support items.

No. 2: BOSSES will heal themselves.

If we flee from battle, the BOSSES will heal themselves after some time. If a BOSS isn’t engaged in battle within half an hour, the BOSS will regain full health.

Some gamers questioned this logic. Of course, it is the work of the CoderMonkey!

I will discuss combat tactics.

Don’t panic. The self-healing property of BOSSES is normal. In the 5-member Instance Dungeon, the gamers only have one chance to complete the Instance Dungeon. They aren’t able to re-enter the Instance Dungeon.

At least we are given second chances in the new Instance Dungeon. The attack strategy is very important. Defeating a BOSS using unlimited Revivals is only effective against the entrance BOSS and the second BOSS. As the team ventures deeper into the Instance Dungeon and is annihilated, the time for all revived gamers to re-engage the BOSS is ten minutes. During this period of time, the BOSS can regain most of its health.

How did the lousy game producer allow such a powerful BUG?

As this is a Trial Attack Strategy Guide, I will create a detailed post after I’m familiar with the related BOSSES and the Instance Dungeon.
