| 0s | On the same day that the |
|---|---|
| 1s | River of Blood DLC comes out, Back |
| 3s | 4 Blood is also releasing a new free game |
| 5s | mode called Trial of the Worm, |
| 7s | and today we're going to dive into that |
| 8s | and show you around. |
| 9s | So once you load into Trial of the Worm, |
| 11s | you of course, select your character, |
| 12s | and then your deck. |
| 13s | And once you lock in your Character, |
| 15s | and your deck, |
| 15s | you run into one of the first pillars |
| 17s | of Trial of the Worm, |
| 18s | which is the Corruption Modifiers. |
| 20s | Well now you might be wondering, |
| 21s | Corruption Modifiers, |
| 22s | well what am I modifying here? |
| 24s | If you look at the bottom left |
| 25s | hand corner of the screen, |
| 26s | it says “Show Modifiers” |
| 27s | - let's select that. |
| 28s | And you'll see that Trial of the Worm |
| 29s | actually starts off |
| 30s | at Recruit Difficulty. |
| 32s | Now, if I were to go and select |
| 33s | one of these Corruption Modifiers here |
| 35s | You'll see something gets added to this |
| 36s | right-hand column, |
| 37s | meaning that Ridden now deal |
| 39s | 5% more damage. I could do it again. |
| 41s | And now Mutations have faster |
| 42s | melee speed; |
| 43s | so on and so forth, |
| 45s | and we can keep making the game |
| 46s | more difficult. |
| 47s | And each one of these trees |
| 48s | has their own set of modifiers |
| 49s | that makes the game more difficult. |
| 51s | Now, don't worry |
| 53s | if you go ahead |
| 53s | and get a little ambitious |
| 54s | and you’re like “Ah! |
| 54s | I just want to crank it up!” -well, |
| 57s | you might have second thoughts |
| 58s | after you're like “Oh, God, |
| 59s | I- don't know if I know |
| 60s | if I'm quite ready for all this,” |
| 61s | you can go |
| 62s | right-click, |
| 63s | bring it back down to an area |
| 64s | that you might feel |
| 65s | more comfortable with. |
| 66s | and go ahead and mix-and-match |
| 68s | this difficulty |
| 69s | to however you want to play. |
| 71s | You can make it as easy |
| 72s | or as difficult as you’d like. |
| 73s | But now |
| 73s | why would I make it more difficult? |
| 75s | If you take a look at the top |
| 76s | left hand |
| 76s | corner of the screen that says |
| 77s | Score and Bonus Multiplier, |
| 80s | well, if I go ahead |
| 81s | and I click |
| 81s | one of these Corruption Modifiers |
| 82s | here, you'll see that the Bonus |
| 83s | Multiplier goes |
| 84s | up, indicating |
| 85s | that the more difficult the game is, |
| 88s | the higher your score will be. |
| 89s | So I'm going to go ahead and select |
| 91s | a couple of modifiers |
| 92s | here, put it in a good spot for me |
| 94s | and then we'll go into the next level, |
| 96s | going to lock in, |
| 97s | and now we're into the Map Vote. |
| 100s | Now to me, |
| 100s | this is one of the coolest parts |
| 102s | of Trial of the Worm. As you'll see here, |
| 105s | we get three random maps. |
| 107s | And now this can be from Act |
| 108s | 1 or Act 2 |
| 109s | or even Act 6 or Act 5 |
| 110s | or even the Ridden Hives. |
| 113s | All of these maps here |
| 114s | are available to you |
| 114s | and they rotate |
| 115s | in between each |
| 116s | round of Trial of the Worm. |
| 118s | If you look in the top |
| 119s | right-hand corner of the screen, |
| 120s | it says map 1 of 4, indicating that |
| 123s | you pick a map here, |
| 124s | go through the map, |
| 125s | and then you move on to map 2 of 4. |
| 127s | Do it again, map 3 of 4. |
| 128s | Do it again, map 4 of 4. |
| 130s | And each time you complete a map, |
| 131s | you go through another |
| 132s | phase of “how difficult |
| 133s | do I want to make the game?” |
| 134s | and then “which map do I want to pick?” |
| 136s | So right now I'm taking a peek here. |
| 138s | I'm not really sure, what I want to pick. |
| 140s | Hmm. Well, what are these things here? |
| 141s | These--Bonus Intel? |
| 143s | There's a new thing in |
| 143s | Trial of the Worm called “Boons,” |
| 145s | and what these Boons do is they make it |
| 147s | so they provide you |
| 148s | with a little bit of a bonus |
| 149s | to make the game a little bit easier, |
| 150s | because things can get pretty difficult |
| 152s | In Trial of the Worm, if you so choose. |
| 154s | But if you're |
| 155s | really paying attention here, |
| 157s | you'll see there's another thing here |
| 158s | that looks a little unfamiliar. |
| 159s | Let me click this ‘+4’ |
| 161s | and what you'll see is |
| 162s | we actually have a Curse. |
| 163s | Now there are Boons, |
| 164s | but there's also Curses. |
| 165s | Curses are basically |
| 166s | the opposite of Boons. |
| 167s | - they make the map more difficult. |
| 168s | What they also do |
| 169s | is increase the amount of score. |
| 170s | You might be wondering: “Well, |
| 171s | what goes into the score |
| 172s | here on the left?” |
| 173s | The score is dictated |
| 174s | by your multipliers, your map, |
| 176s | and then all the nasties |
| 177s | we have going on here |
| 178s | inside of Corruption Cards. |
| 181s | So I'm going to select ‘A Friend |
| 182s | in Need’ and load in. |
| 183s | And you'll see our Corruption Cards here. |
| 185s | We have some of the-- Ooh! |
| 186s | Some of the new Ridden here. |
| 188s | We have the Sentinel class |
| 190s | but then we also have our Boons, |
| 191s | we have our Curse here, |
| 192s | and a bunch of things |
| 193s | that might be a little bit |
| 194s | more familiar, such |
| 195s | as Shredders, Tallboys, |
| 196s | Volatile, Charred, etc. |
| 198s | Now something |
| 198s | we should bring attention to here |
| 199s | while we're in the Burn Card |
| 200s | phase is that Trial of the Worm |
| 202s | does not have any Continues. |
| 203s | We take a peek here and it says “’Hell |
| 205s | Can Wait’, active limit reached.” |
| 206s | There is no Continues |
| 208s | in Trial of the Worm. |
| 209s | If your team dies, that's it, |
| 211s | and you have to start a new Run. |
| 212s | You compete for a new high score. |
| 214s | And if we go to the menu |
| 215s | here, you'll also see “Trial of the Worm |
| 217s | - 0 Continues.” |
| 218s | And now while we're in the screen, |
| 219s | one thing that you might be thinking |
| 220s | is: “Oh gosh, |
| 221s | I don't remember all these things |
| 222s | we just selected. |
| 222s | How do I go back to look at them?” |
| 224s | Well, if you select ‘Corruption |
| 225s | Modifiers’ here at the top of the screen |
| 227s | and then ‘Show Modifiers,’ |
| 228s | you'll get to see a big list |
| 229s | of all the different things |
| 230s | that you have selected so far. |
| 232s | Now I'm in a match here by myself |
| 233s | with BOTs, |
| 234s | but luckily they went ahead |
| 234s | and gave me quite a bit of copper, |
| 235s | so I'm going to go ahead |
| 236s | and take a look at the vendor here |
| 237s | and see what I want to select. |
| 239s | and you'll actually see |
| 239s | some of the ‘Corruption |
| 240s | Modifiers’ kicking in already. |
| 241s | We have increased vendor prices here, |
| 243s | which came in from the ‘Player’ tree. |
| 245s | I'm going to go ahead |
| 246s | and spend some of my copper here |
| 247s | and get my loadout set, |
| 248s | and then we’ll show you a few more things |
| 249s | to know about Trial of the Worm. |
| 250s | Now, over on the left-hand |
| 251s | side of the screen, |
| 251s | you might notice |
| 252s | it says “Silence is Golden, + 6000.” |
| 255s | Inside of Trial of the Worm, |
| 256s | you get bonus score |
| 258s | for completing your Secondary Objectives. |
| 260s | So you need to play clean |
| 261s | and play careful. |
| 262s | Make sure all of your teammates |
| 264s | make it to the end, |
| 264s | and then also make sure |
| 265s | you're not setting off any hazards |
| 266s | if you want to make sure |
| 267s | you get the max amount of points |
| 268s | that you can |
| 269s | while you're progressing |
| 270s | through Trial of the Worm. |
| 271s | And now |
| 271s | speaking of increasing your score, |
| 272s | there's actually |
| 273s | one other part of Trial of the Worm |
| 274s | that's very important to consider |
| 276s | if you want to get a high score, |
| 277s | these Mementos. |
| 279s | In Trial of the Worm |
| 280s | we have ‘Fabulous Mementos’, |
| 281s | which are basically shiny Mementos |
| 282s | that increase the amount of score |
| 284s | that you get at the end of the level. |
| 286s | There's a minimum of 5 Mementos |
| 288s | on every map. |
| 289s | You can get more Mementos |
| 291s | if you increase your ‘Player’ tree |
| 292s | high enough to increase your score, |
| 293s | but there's a minimum |
| 295s | of 5 Mementos on each map. |
| 297s | So make sure you're thorough |
| 297s | when you're going through your map here |
| 299s | to try |
| 299s | and make sure you pick up |
| 299s | every Memento to make it |
| 300s | so you get the highest score, |
| 302s | AND these Mementos are affected |
| 304s | by that multiplier that you selected |
| 306s | in the Corruption Modifiers. |
| 307s | So, the harder the game is, |
| 309s | the more that those Mementos |
| 310s | are going to provide score for you. |
| 311s | The same thing |
| 312s | with your Secondary Objective, |
| 313s | the harder |
| 314s | the game is |
| 315s | the more that Secondary Objective |
| 316s | is going to increase your score. |
| 318s | So we've about |
| 318s | cleared the level here, |
| 319s | I'm going to get in here |
| 319s | and get through the map, and we’ll |
| 321s | get to see a Score breakdown here. |
| 323s | A top left hand corner says 20,000 |
| 326s | and once we actually get |
| 327s | through the ‘Completed’ screen |
| 327s | here, you'll see a little bit |
| 328s | more of a breakdown here |
| 329s | as to what went into that score. |
| 331s | So you'll see |
| 332s | the ‘Map Completed’ |
| 333s | was about 7,000 of our score. |
| 335s | ‘Cleaners Survived’ is |
| 337s | also a very big part |
| 338s | of Trial of the Worm; |
| 339s | the more people that are alive |
| 340s | at the end of the level, |
| 341s | the more score you're going to get. |
| 342s | Completing your Secondary |
| 343s | Objective increases your score |
| 344s | and then so did |
| 345s | finding a couple of those Mementos. |
| 347s | And now that we’ve |
| 347s | made it through the score |
| 348s | breakdown, we're actually back |
| 349s | at increasing our difficulty. |
| 351s | Now, we can't decrease |
| 352s | our difficulty anymore. |
| 353s | You can only do that within the round, |
| 354s | but we can go ahead and increase it. |
| 356s | So maybe, |
| 356s | maybe we're ready to crank it up a notch. |
| 358s | Or maybe we had a good chance |
| 359s | to get ourselves situated with our loot, |
| 361s | and now we feel ready |
| 362s | to take on a higher challenge. |
| 364s | We can go ahead and do that, |
| 365s | increase our multipliers here. |
| 367s | And you'll see when we lock in that |
| 368s | the scores that we have on |
| 370s | our maps are actually going to look |
| 371s | quite a bit higher |
| 373s | because we went ahead |
| 374s | and increased the difficulty of the game |
| 376s | by a pretty significant degree there. |
| 378s | And you go through this whole process |
| 379s | until you've completed 4 maps. |
| 381s | Now for my second map, I’ve |
| 382s | selected ‘Caustic Cesspool’, |
| 383s | which is a Ridden Hive. |
| 384s | Some things to know about the Hives |
| 385s | in Trial of the Worm: |
| 387s | you're not going to find a Hive |
| 388s | just sitting on a map |
| 389s | that you can enter |
| 390s | in the middle of a map. |
| 391s | The only way you get into a Hive |
| 392s | is if you select it during ‘Map Select’. |
| 395s | Another thing to know about the Hives |
| 396s | is that the shop is fully featured. |
| 398s | Inside of ‘Campaign,’ |
| 399s | you don't get to do |
| 399s | all these different upgrades, |
| 401s | but in Trial of the Worm, |
| 402s | you can upgrade anything on any map. |
| 404s | And the last thing you might notice here |
| 405s | is that your Secondary |
| 406s | Objective in Hives is to go ahead |
| 407s | and find all 3 Skull Totems. |
| 409s | You're not going to complete |
| 410s | your Secondary Objective |
| 411s | to get your points |
| 412s | unless you get all three of them. |
| 413s | So I'm on my third map here |
| 414s | and I’ve upgraded |
| 415s | everything all the way through |
| 417s | and you'll see the score can get really, |
| 419s | really high |
| 420s | and the game can look |
| 421s | really, really scary. |
| 423s | So there is a wide range |
| 426s | of what you can do in Trial of the Worm. |
| 428s | You can make it as easy as you like |
| 429s | or absolutely bonkers. |
| 432s | So speaking of things |
| 432s | being bonkers, |
| 433s | let's say we bit off a little bit |
| 435s | more than we could chew |
| 436s | and the round ends. |
| 438s | Well then what happens? |
| 439s | So since there's |
| 440s | no Continues in Trial of the Worm, |
| 443s | we reach our final |
| 444s | score and we see how we did. |
| 446s | So I'm going to go ahead and |
| 447s | press ‘Skip’ here |
| 448s | and bring us into our score. |
| 449s | And you'll see that |
| 450s | in this instance |
| 451s | of ‘Trial of the Worm’, |
| 451s | I had about 250,000 for my score here. |
| 454s | I press ‘Continue’ |
| 455s | and we have a ‘Leaderboard” section |
| 456s | here as well. |
| 456s | It's actually my career |
| 457s | high score right now. |
| 458s | So I'm going to ‘Leaderboards’ here |
| 460s | and take a peek! |
| 460s | In the ‘Regional’ area here, |
| 461s | we can see a list of all the different |
| 463s | high scores |
| 463s | that people have accumulated so far. |
| 465s | All these high scores |
| 465s | here are from people |
| 466s | testing the game |
| 467s | -- this is going to be very different |
| 468s | when the full thing |
| 469s | comes out on December 6th, |
| 470s | and perhaps you'll find yourself |
| 472s | at the top |
| 472s | of one of these ‘Leaderboards’. |
| 473s | And once you get out of Trial |
| 474s | of the Worm, |
| 474s | in case you didn't already |
| 475s | notice, there's |
| 476s | actually a new tent over here |
| 477s | which is completely dedicated |
| 478s | to the ‘Leaderboard’, |
| 479s | so we'll go ahead and |
| 480s | check the Leaderboard here |
| 481s | and we can see all the high scores, |
| 482s | including my own personal |
| 483s | best at the bottom of the screen. |
| 485s | So this was a little bit |
| 486s | more about Trial of the Worm here. |
| 487s | I hope it helped teach you |
| 488s | a few things about the game mode. |
| 489s | I hope you understand it |
| 490s | a little bit better |
| 491s | now, and I hope you enjoy it |
| 492s | when it comes out on the 6th of December. |
| 494s | Thank you, guys. |
| 495s | I appreciate you tuning into this video, |
| 497s | and then we'll see you guys in the next |
| 498s | video that we do around here. |
