Episode 62 – Elden Soul is hard, right? (2)
The graveyard, the starting location of the game 'Elden Soul', also serves as a tutorial location. However, as it is a series known for being difficult games, the tutorial was different from other games.
“I don’t know what kind of cemetery has so many traps.”
Lee Kyung-bok said as he looked at the broken arrows on the floor. It was a trap set up in a passage that had to be passed through, blocking the way with collapsed stone coffins.
“Did you make this to catch grave robbers? These are just traps made to kill you.”
However, it was not weak enough to withstand being hit. The arrows that flew at Lee Gyeong-bok flew straight to his head, heart, and after a time difference, his psyche.
Failure to respond means death, that was the essence of the Elden series.
-But you won't die!
-How do you see and hit an arrow that's flying?
-It's so dark I can't see anything lol
-Ah haha you can tell just by listening to the sound?
– Fact) The traitors die even though they know it.
-After experiencing this, I always carry a shield in front when I go out on the road ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-You learned it properly, lol
Lee Kyung-bok snickered as he watched the chat. As he took another step forward, the dead behind the stone coffins rushed at him with their eyes shining brightly.
It was forbidden to let down one's guard.
And Lee Kyung-bok.
"report."
I never let my guard down from the beginning.
A red-hot, sharp sword stabbed the deceased between the eyebrows.
“I told you to just hit it?”
The dead man fell to the ground. Lee Gyeong-bok lightly kicked the corpse away, pulled out his sword, and shrugged his shoulders.
-No lol that won't work!
-Are you being deceived again?
-Even the dead died of anger after hearing those words ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Really lol I'm a daughter but I got hit by a deception breath and died
Viewers joked about this situation as if it were natural. However, there were some who seriously did not understand the situation.
-No;;; How do I get through all this?
-You really studied this in advance, okay?
-Really ㅋㅋ If you don't know, it's a section where you die while invincible
-Eclipse, which only sells the Elden series, also died here three times.
They were new viewers who had just watched the Metagamer interview. They were skeptical because they were not yet familiar with Lee Kyung-bok's skills.
But there was no need for Lee Gyeong-bok to explain this.
-Ah lol. Breaking through traps is the foundation of Godplay.
-Really lol. It must be the best in the world for nothing!
-What else is number one in the world?
-The world's number 1 capsule tutorial record is Godple ㅋㅋㅋ
-You don't believe it? I didn't believe it either lol But the catch is that there is evidence for everything.
-Really ㅋㅋ You'll understand after watching the anatomy section
-If you're Korean, start by reading Pertube!
This was something that existing viewers already knew, and it was because there had been related content produced before.
The few skeptical opinions were quickly buried.
In the meantime, Lee Kyung-bok continued on his way. Eventually, he arrived at a new room after passing through a dark passage.
'What kind of gift set is this?'
Iron spikes that rise when stepped on, flying arrows, fire pouring down from the ceiling, spell circles that bind you for a certain period of time, etc.
It was a room of traps, tightly packed with the traps I had experienced so far.
And that's not all.
'Even the dead are hiding.'
As before, there are those hiding behind obstacles, as well as those lurking in sarcophagi and the dead hiding among the corpses in traps.
The layout, which caught the player off guard, was so malicious that it felt like the production company had intentions behind it.
-Kyaa hahahaha
-Really, this is the real country
-Stop spoiling!
-Ah haha, shhh!
-Okay, listeners, listen up and listen up~
The viewers also seemed to be aware of the viciousness of this room.
“It seems a bit difficult here?”
Lee Kyung-bok burst into laughter at the chat that revealed his true feelings.
-Ah, you got caught because of those guys!
-The management bot is Muhanyagood!
-No lol this isn't a spoiler
-Hey! It's hot, it's hot!
Viewers did not hide their disappointment.
'I guess I'll have to pass it first.'
What he sensed in his newness was not only a threat. If he could overcome this vicious ordeal prepared by the production company, would he be given a suitable reward?
A sweet feeling was conveyed that immediately offset the unpleasant stinging sensation.

At that moment, just as he was about to move.
['This is how it is' suggests a quest!]
[Condition – No weapons allowed until you leave this room]
[Success – 50,000 won]
One of the viewers set up a quest. It seemed like he wanted to see Lee Kyung-bok in trouble somehow.
-Wow lol. You're telling me not to use weapons?
-Let's go on a blind date with Yoo Da-hee!
-Isn’t this a completely [black company]-like idea?
-Really lol You don't even provide the equipment properly
-Is this the personality of a pervert…?
-Geusugushi is science
-Ah hahaha I learned it all from Godple! That's good!
Lee Kyung-bok happily accepted the quest in the chat window, which was filled with joy.
“Thank you for the quest. Then… … .”
Before Lee Kyung-bok could finish his comment, an instruction message appeared in front of him.
[The 'No Training' function is activated during the quest.]
[Once the quest is over, you can see the chat window again.]
“Oh, and even the ban on training. I guess you want me to suffer properly, somehow. Are you by any chance Qdari-nim?”
Lee Kyung-bok didn't lose his composure. Instead, he smiled even more deeply.
“Then let’s go.”
Lee Kyung-bok put away his weapon and lightly released his hand. The chat window disappeared from his eyes, but the viewers were still actively participating in the conversation.
-Quiet legs lol
-A sudden appearance and slap to the cheek, Q-Leader-Shakeㅋㅋㅋ
-They even banned training. Hahaha. They were aiming for it. They were aiming for it.
-Oh my gosh, this looks like it'll be super fun
-This section is really vicious and there is no answer.
-The thing is, even if you die, the traps and the placement of the dead change here.
-Hasn't Anatomy counted once?
-Yeah, that's right. There are 941 patterns lol
Unlike other rooms, this space was reset every time you tried again. Therefore, it was not a section that could be passed simply by increasing the number of attempts.
While the viewers were expressing their anticipation, Lee Kyung-bok moved. He leisurely dodged the pouring arrows and rising iron spikes. Still, the viewers were not disappointed.
-Wow! This is crazy!
-If this is the case, I'll just pass on the first try?
-But even if you pass, you'll still be 100% dumbfounded ㅋㅋㅋ
-Really lol I'm just going to find a hole and go out
-This is a place that tells you that what you see in front of you is not everything.
In fact, this section was not a strategy for breaking through traps. If you look at the passage before entering the room, there is a breakable wall, so it would have been right to go around it.
And above all else.
-But aren't there some smers that passed this?
-There is lol I think it was a foreign stream, but was it uploaded on reddit?
-ㅇㅇ There's a video of her going through a lot of hardships and getting through it with her daughter, but then getting pissed when she sees that it's a dead endㅋㅋㅋ
-You really have to suspect that Fromm is a Satan worshipper lol
There was nothing to be gained by overcoming this hardship.
But Lee Gyeong-bok thought differently.
'What made you do this?'
As we went further, the warm feeling grew stronger.
Lee Kyung-bok took a short breath and bent down. The dead man who was lurking tried to pounce on him, but was caught instead.
“Just hold on a moment.”
As Lee Kyung-bok spoke, flames fell from the ceiling. The deceased caught by him had to receive the flames as if they were an umbrella.
-?????????
-What the heck lol What is the Dead Man's Shield!
-ㄴㅇㄱ Unimaginable use of the dead!
-Tip) If you can't use a weapon, you can use a trap.
-People getting into trouble is a daily occurrence in [black companies], right?
-This is the first time I feel sorry for the deceased ㅠㅠㅠ
The layout that showed the production company's obsession was useless to Lee Kyung-bok. Instead, he used the traps he had figured out to kill the dead and move forward.
“Quest success, right?”
['This is how it is' donated '50,000' won.]
As soon as Lee Kyung-bok reached the end of the passage and spoke, a completion message appeared. The viewers could not help but exclaim in admiration.
-I really broke this on the first try lol
-Wow what the f*ck it took me over 20 tries to get to the middle
-Really ㅋㅋ If you look at the video of clearing this section, it basically takes over 30 minutes
-Is this an edited video? If it were live, it would be 1 hour long lol
-Gotple took a little over 3 minutes lol
-Ah haha I should get a clip and use it as a cup ramen alarm
-No lol are you crazy lol
Lee Kyung-bok checked the chat window and then leisurely picked up his weapon.
“Okay, let’s see what’s at the end of this.”
His words caused laughter to spread throughout the chat window.
-Oh, I'm so excited.
-Clip ready to fire!
-It's already so much fun lol
-Okay, let's set the editing point!
-Did you get stabbed in the neck?
-Let's become a couple!
-Merge!
But everyone kept their mouths shut as if they were conscious of each other.
Finally, we reached the end of the passage, and the view beyond was…
"……cliff?"
It was as if the ground had collapsed and a vast abyss had spread out before me. I had worked hard to get over it, but now I had to turn back.
Many streamers and players have been frustrated, and viewers expected Lee Kyung-bok to be no exception.
But the prediction was wrong.
'I think it's below.'
He had confidence. His intuition and intuition were all pointing to one point.
The moment he stepped out of the passage and onto the edge.
“Ghaaaaaa!”
The dead man hiding around the corner came rushing at him. It was the production company's last resort.
The moment you feel relieved that the threat is gone, you both fall to your death, and the player is sent back to the starting point.
But Lee Gyeong-bok was different.
“Ouch, it’s noisy.”
Lee Gyeong-bok stabbed the dead man's ribs with a red-hot weapon. Then, without resisting the blow, he threw the dead man over the cliff.
Soon, the rag-like clothes of the deceased were engulfed in flames and disappeared into the darkness.
-?????
-You're reacting to this?
-Here too, you [P][P][T], what the heck are you… … !
-Is this to say that even Prom couldn't handle Godple… …!
-Pwigat! Pwigat! Pwigat! Pwigat!
-That's why the game is easyㅋㅋㅋ
-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)
-It's just hell difficulty for T-Soo!
-Ah haha I see. Hell, the difficulty is the problem.
-Really ㅋㅋ It's a perfect fit for a god-like person from hell!
This time, we might see Purple getting frustrated. When even the last bit of expectation was dashed, the viewers immediately gave up.
But Lee Gyeong-bok was staring at the cliff with his eyebrows furrowed.
As question marks began to appear in the chat window, he grabbed the shield on his back. What he did next was even stranger.
“Oh, okay.”
He struck the wooden shield with his red-hot longsword. The shield crackled and began to smoke, and soon began to burn slowly.
I wondered what on earth was going on, and then Lee Kyung-bok opened his mouth.
“I saw something below when the dead man fell earlier.”
-to?
-Can you see it?
-What is it?
-No way, no way;;;
Before the viewers could react, Lee Kyung-bok quickly returned to the aisle and turned around.
The surrounding vision became slightly brighter thanks to the shield starting to burn.
Lee Kyung-bok lightly bounced his body and ran towards the cliff with all his might. He first threw his flaming shield to secure his vision, and then ran straight towards it.
-It's Daegomtang! Domhwangcha!
-Eww!
-No;;; I didn't mean for you to die like this!
-Hold on tight! You're falling!
Everyone had a gut feeling that death was imminent. But Lee Gyeong-bok had no intention of dying.
He grabbed the hatchet at his waist and opened his eyes wide.
'now!'
The first thrown shield smashed into the wall and shattered. After that, the longsword and hatchet dug into the wall.
Lee Kyung-bok's body jerked, but there was no further fall.
“Phew.”
He took a short breath and looked down. The shattered fragments of his shield briefly revealed the floor.
There were countless corpses of the dead piled up like a mountain.
-Wow, I'm so shocked.
-This has a different meaning;;
-I just looked at it and it made my stomach hurt lol
-There must be a reason why you're doing this;;
-You're holding the Q-axis strangely.
The viewers couldn't understand at all why Lee Kyung-bok did that. So instead of explaining further, he moved his body.
Surprisingly, not long after, Lee Gyeong-bok was able to climb up into the small cave.
-what?
-Where is this?
-No;; Did you see this when the dead man fell here earlier?
-It was really the eye of God
-Is it an undisclosed secret location? Something like that?
-There are unreleased items in the tutoring area too!?
-The first public angle is sharp and ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Chats poured into the chat window like a tsunami. Lee Kyung-bok nodded while sharpening his axe.
“I guess no one has ever been here before?”
The atmosphere in the chat room changed like the ebb and flow of the tide depending on the number of people.
-Nope
-Really ㅋㅋ I've seen this fun spot dozens of times but I haven't seen the smurf I found
-Junna is so pissed off, how can you see the secret place? ㅋㅋㅋ
-Looking at the fact that it doesn't come out even when you koogle it, it seems like it's the real first time?
-You have to search in English to get the exact answer.
-I searched by mixing cemetery, hidden, and wall, but it didn't come up lol
-Are you really a legend again?
Other viewers couldn't hide their excitement at the reports from loyal viewers.
“Oh, thanks for the search. Then I’ll go check it out right away.”
Lee Kyung-bok walked forward with gratitude. The cave, which seemed like it could fit at most one person, gradually got wider as he went deeper.
“Who do you think is there?”
Lee Kyung-bok whispered to the silhouette that was dimly visible. No hostility was detected. Rather, a feeling of satisfaction was felt from the silhouette.
-Who is it?
-What is it? What the heck is it?
-It looks like you're wearing armor.
-Is this a hidden item?
-Maybe they're enemies?
-First come first served!
-Go quickly!
-Ah, Godple knows everything!
The chat window was filled with speculation and urging. Lee Kyung-bok stepped forward without hesitation, and soon the silhouette’s identity was revealed.
"article?"
A knight wearing black armor and a helmet was kneeling. He had been there for a long time, so his armor was covered in dust.
The knight was holding his sword vertically with both hands and bowing his head forward, almost as if he was praying to someone.
“Who are you?”
At the same time, control changed and a cutscene began.
-What did Godple ask?
-No, your speech is a little awkward
-Huh? Is this a cutscene?
-A secret location with a cutscene!?
-Wow lol this is crazy this is crazy
-Sit down! Sit down!
-Have a seat, please!
The viewers couldn't hide their excitement. The chat window was noisy, but the situation in the cutscene was quiet.
When the knight did not answer, the protagonist cautiously placed a hand on his shoulder.
Then the knight's body collapsed like swirling dust.
"what……?!"
Not only the armor, but even the sword was scattered like grains of sand. But not everything was lost.
A cloud of unidentified lights floated where the knight had been. The protagonist stretched out his hand toward the cloud of lights as if possessed.
Then, light flowed down the protagonist's body like a stream of water. In an instant, the light that enveloped his entire body permeated him, emitting a brilliant golden light.
[Acquired 'Unknown Soul'.]
A message appeared at the same time.
-Unknown soul?
-What is that!
-I don't know, so it's an unknown soul lol
-I don't know what it is, but I have a feeling that it's a jackpot.
-I beat it lol
Before the viewers' excitement could even die down, another message followed.
[The 'Soul' feature is unlocked.]
[You can now obtain 'Souls'.]
The cutscene that ended with him.
Lee Kyung-bok tilted his head with a slightly disappointed expression.
'What? Is this the end?'
Souls were a concept similar to goods used for growth, and could be obtained by defeating enemies. Players could use the souls they acquired to strengthen their characters.
This was something that Lee Gyeong-bok had already heard an explanation about from Choi Byeong-hun.
Since it is a function given to everyone, it is difficult to see it as a hidden element.
But the reaction in the chat window was different.
-The soul has already been unlocked?
-Why is this coming out now?
-Also, the unlocking is completely different lol
-<This message has been deleted by the management bot. (1 warning)>
-Tresuduls, please refrain from spoilers!
-<This message has been deleted by the management bot. (2 warnings)>
-Get your hands off the keyboard now!
-<This message has been deleted by the management bot. (1 warning)>
-Everyone stop getting excited!
-What is this a spoiler?
-<This message has been deleted by the management bot. The user in question cannot participate in the chat. (3 warnings)>
-What is a self-ban? LOL
-Gotpago, loyalty, loyalty^^7
The chaotic chat room soon died down. This was because some viewers were banned or expelled due to warnings from the chat management bot, and others learned to exercise self-restraint.
Thanks to a series of circumstances, Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers realized.
“Still in Elden Souls.”
He wasn't just the first to reveal this place.
“I guess there is an undisclosed ending.”
The fact was that a new development in the game's story had begun.
