For every gamer who craves a true test of ability, “First Berserker: Khazan” has been a stiff contender among the Soulslike. Described as its brutal mode of difficulty, the game now uncovers the stats of its deadliest encounters, giving a peek into the test of even the seasoned players.
The deadliest boss is said, according to an official infographic, to be Viper. The notorious boss has reportedly killed players a whopping 7.4 million times. Viper is an early game boss, and most can’t help but wonder what other horrors await. Next on the deadliest encounter list is Volbano, with 4.0 million slain, and Maluca, with 3.4 million. These early struggles are a testament to the game’s reputation for requiring accuracy and determination from the very beginning.
The infographic also reveals the sheer brutality of “First Berserker: Khazan,” as it shows that players have collectively died more than 54 million times in-game. Of those deaths, an astonishing 37 million are the result of boss battles, which attests to the extreme difficulty that these battles pose.
“First Berserker: Khazan” is unique with its battle system demanding mastery. Khazan, a rejected hero, is the player character, who is seeking revenge, and he must perform intricate attack moves, apply parrying and dodging mechanics at the perfect moment, and exploit enemy weaknesses in order to survive. An “Easy Mode” exists within the game, but even that mode is reportedly very difficult, emphasizing that strategizing gameplay and gaining knowledge on enemy behavior remain crucial to winning.
The large death tallies for early bosses such as Viper would indicate that a high percentage of players are having to face a high skill check early in the game. If these figures will be followed by later, albeit allegedly even more demanding bosses, only time will tell. The data as they stand, though, unmistakably make “First Berserker: Khazan” a gauntlet that will try the mettle of even the most seasoned action RPG fans. For those up for a genuine trial by fire, Khazan beckons.
