After coming to this world, due to the information from his previous life, Rhodes often makes decisions that take into account the progress of the entire expansion pack, so as to obtain the maximum benefit for himself.
And this is also the experience gained by Rhodes in the previous game. As long as he follows the plot trend of the expansion pack, he can gain a lot.
In the previous game, Rhodes was naturally not the only one to understand this. After three expansion packs, almost all players understood this truth.
However, after coming to this world, what Rhodes considers is no longer the competition among players, but other more important things.
In Rhode's impression, the players at that time were extremely enthusiastic about the upcoming fourth expansion pack, even to the point of madness.
Players at that time would do whatever it took to learn the information that might exist in the fourth expansion pack.
Whether it's information recorded in mages' books, information sold in thieves' guilds, or even gossip circulating in taverns, these players will try their best to collect it, just to be able to use it in the upcoming fourth expansion pack.
, seize some opportunities and gain a greater advantage than other players.
Not only limited to the surface world, the players' collection of information for the fourth expansion pack has even extended to many other places. Whether it is the underground world where magicians live, or the elemental plane with extremely special rules, there are players ahead of them.
to collect intelligence.
It was under this circumstance that the Hydra Trench in the water elemental plane, and the ultimate Hydra existing in it, came into view of the players.
There are not many peak seventh-level creatures in the entire game. Even in the first few expansion packs, this level of creatures only appeared a few times, and every time it appeared, it caused
It caused great damage and even changed the situation of a war.
Even the most powerful creature recognized on the main plane, the holy dragon known as the King of Dragons, does not have a rank higher than the peak of the seventh level. It is conceivable that creatures of this level are rare.
Under this circumstance, the ultimate Hydra existing in the water elemental plane has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many players.
In the eyes of these players, such a mysterious ultimate Hydra that exists deep in the trench is naturally not a simple existence. Even if its location does not exist in the main plane, but in the elements
plane, but who can guarantee that it must have nothing to do with the fourth expansion pack?
Through the existence of the Ultimate Hydra, players have made many associations. Perhaps the fourth expansion pack has a certain connection with the creatures in the elemental plane, and even with the existence of the entire elemental plane.
Because of this, many players who firmly believe this take the initiative to come to the water elemental plane, wanting to explore information about the ultimate Hydra.
However, what other players who did not believe this did not expect was that through the research of these players who came to the water elemental plane, they actually found signs that may be related to the fourth expansion pack.
According to the analysis made by the players at the time, after studying the first three expansion packs for a long time, they came to a consistent conclusion from the things recorded in the expansion packs. Every expansion pack in the game, although in terms of plot,
, are very different, but there is one thing in common throughout these expansion packs.
Whether it is the natural hero Tanan in God of War in Ruins and the forbidden magic ball he holds, or the peerless necromancer in Shadow of Death, the two necromancer artifacts he possesses, or the things that happened in the third expansion pack, they are all
A clear message was sent to these players.
When every expansion pack takes place, there are heroes who are the protagonists in the expansion pack, and in their hands, they will hold one or more artifacts.
The effects of these artifacts may be extremely special and can only be used as an auxiliary, or they may themselves be extremely powerful, and there is no rule in them.
However, it is undeniable that it was with the help of these artifacts that these originally extremely powerful heroes started battles one after another, causing great changes in the entire world, and finally formed this series.
Contents of the expansion pack.
In previous games, those players who came to the Hydra Trench to conduct research discovered the existence of things suspected to be artifacts from some of the signs revealed there.
Of course, this suspicion alone could not convince most players at the time. Among the players who believed that the fourth expansion pack was related to it, there was even the existence of Rhodes.
In addition to inside the game, players are trying to predict the content of the fourth expansion pack in advance by continuously collecting intelligence. Outside the game, players have not given up on this either.
According to the information that players knew at the time, the first three expansion packs in the game were all adapted from Heroes of Invincible 3, which was the most primitive from centuries ago and required operation on a computer rather than entering the game consciously.
However, when the third expansion pack ends, the main plot in the original game has also ended. Players naturally have no clue about the plot of the fourth expansion pack.
Since they cannot obtain more information from the original game, players can only focus on the directions related to "heroes" and "artifacts" based on past research on expansion packs.
Under this circumstance, players are extremely concerned about the artifact that may exist in the Hydra Trench. Even if it is finally confirmed that this artifact has nothing to do with the fourth expansion pack, being able to obtain the artifact is also a great test of one's own strength.
Big improvement.
At the same time, another news about this artifact is particularly exciting for all players.
According to the information obtained by a certain player from reality, as early as several centuries ago, a group of players who loved Heroes of Might and Magic 3 created many expansion materials for it. Among them, there was information about this cloak that was not weaker than the Ghost King.
Records of artifacts.
However, these things created by players at that time were more like a mod for the game, rather than official DLC. No player can be sure whether these things were officially included in the current game a few centuries later.
In the game.
Even so, as players confirmed this news, a large number of players who were afraid of falling behind chose to believe this and came to the water elemental plane to start making preparations for the arrival of the next expansion pack.
