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.
