Getting the eighth weapon for each character is not an easy task. First, you must win every episode and the final Edge Master mode. Only then will you be able to freely choose any battle.
The eighth weapon is randomly hidden in the four final scenes, usually somewhere near each character's final scenes. For example, Siegfried's weapon (N 8) can be hidden on episodes 1, 2, 7, 8 (now episodes 1 and 2 are sort of looped with episodes 7 and 8).
When you first complete Edge Master Mode, the weapons are most often (but not always) hidden in the pre-final episode. When searching for the 8th weapon, remember that if you take too long, the weapon will move somewhere else (but in the previous four episodes). Here's some fun!

* Ultimate weapon.
After defeating Cervantes/Soul Edge, your character's ultimate weapon will appear in one of the stages, which can be reached directly from Spain. If you lose the fight in this zone (where the final weapon was). Your character will start doing the devil knows what. And the weapon will move to another, neighboring zone, but certainly not to Spain!

* Play as SOPHITIA in a very immodest swimsuit.

On the fighter selection screen, position the cursor on Hwang and press LEFT(until you find the hidden string Han Myong). His fighting style is very reminiscent of Hwang's fighting gimmicks.

Sophitia ALEXANDER

) is intended for those who have warm feelings for oriental themes - there are Buddhist temples in the game, martial arts, long-legged anime girls, stories of betrayal and retribution and, of course, pathos. Blade & Soul reached Russia only on May 19, 2016, although it was launched in Korea back in 2012. Along the way, it has noticeably prettier, received many innovations, improvements and a lot of content - if you have not played B&S before, now is the time to try it. Despite its age, this MMO stands up to the competition with dignity - there is an excellent combat system(thanks to her, the game is more like a slasher or fighting game than a classic MMORPG), decent graphics and a good storyline. This guide contains initial information about the game - installation, character creation and interface features.

Installation

In order to install the official Russian-language version of the game, you will need to follow a few simple steps:

1. Go to the 4game website

2. Click on the yellow “Install” button in the upper right corner of the page - the Fogame application will be installed first, then the game will start downloading (13.6 GB of hard disk space is required). You can follow the download progress directly on the site.

3. At this stage, players sometimes encounter client errors. The problem is most often solved by clearing the cache, restarting the browser, or restarting the computer.

4. After the installation is completed, the game can be launched using a shortcut (the site will open) or directly from the launch page in the browser.

Character Creation

There are 4 races and 7 classes available in the game (three classes are given for each race, some are unique, others are duplicated in different races) - this variety provides a good scope for choosing your own playing style. In the summer, the eighth grade will be added to the game - Spirit Master. The difference between races, in addition to the classes available to them, also lies in appearance- different skins of races do not give any advantages or penalties in battle, but from the point of view of aesthetics they are an indisputable plus. For all races, except for fans, male and female characters are available.

Races:

1. Sheng. According to the in-game description, the race is of divine origin - they have the legendary turtle Sheng-jun in their ancestors. Nevertheless, outwardly, the Shengs are more similar to others than others. ordinary people. Endowed with wisdom and strength, they strive for self-improvement and justice.

Classes: Blade Master, Shadow Master, Kung Fu Master.

2. Van. The first thing that catches your eye is the mighty physique and gigantic growth of the Vanir. According to legend, they descended from the king of dragons, Longwang. Other races treat them with respect and awe, but their courage, severity in battle and impressive muscles do not prevent them from being trusting, kind and hospitable.

Classes: Kung Fu Master, Elemental Master, Ax Master.

3. Lin. As if in contrast to the huge vans, there is a race of miniature lin in the game. Their ancestor - the legendary chimera Qilin - endowed them with special skills, the ability to penetrate other worlds, and as a bonus, also the cutest ears and tail. The fragile physique of the Lina is compensated by agility, and harmony with nature helped them master the magic of the elements.

Classes: Ling Blademaster, Summon Master, Elemental Master.

4. Feng. The most mysterious race. They are so mysterious that it is not clear where the little fans come from, because no one has ever seen men of this race. They came from the twice-born great phoenix Fenghua, who endowed them with strength and beauty. Graceful and beautiful female fans love art and do not like communication, which complements their mysterious image.

Classes: Blade Master, Kung Fu Master, Elemental Master.

Classes:

1. Blade master. Fights with a sword; excellent balance of attack and defense. A special combat technique is available - "block". This fighter is good in both melee and ranged combat - at long distances he is allowed to attack the blades of the shower. Considered a moderately difficult class to play.

2. Shadow master. This master of stealth is a real assassin. Fights with a dagger, can covertly move and set traps. Special combat techniques - "invisibility" (stealth attack) and "smoke screen" (protects allies). Difficult to master, as it is very vulnerable alone; shadow masters need to either act very, very quickly, or constantly be in the company of friendly players.

3. Kung fu master. Specializes in close combat, fights with brass knuckles. Able to perfectly block and reflect the blows of the enemy thanks to the special "counterattack" technique. The ability to "suppress" allows you to capture the enemy. Like the previous class, it requires cooperation with other players and is not easy to master, because for successful game you need to master special fighting techniques and learn how to apply them at the right time.

4. Master of the Elements. Local magician; designed for ranged combat - uses Chi energy to cast spells and is able to hit multiple targets at the same time. Special moves - "capture" (immobilizes the target) and "protective barrier" (protects allies). Medium Difficulty: While generally easy to play, the Elementalist will have a hard time in PvP.

5. Ax master. Only the mighty Vanir can handle such huge and heavy axes. Ax Masters have a large supply of health, fight at close range and can throw opponents high into the air. Combat techniques "capture" (immobilization of the enemy) and "steel shield" (blocking enemy attacks) will be very useful to you and your companions in the dungeons. The class is simple and comfortable to play.

6. Ling Blademaster. Since the lyn are good at magic, this class similar to the “blade master” took some elements from the “master of the elements”. With the help of Rain Blades, Lina is able to deflect attacks and deal powerful blows, while the Capture ability immobilizes opponents. One of the best choices for a beginner player.

7. Summon Master. The only class in the game that can summon creatures. Summon masters do not have outstanding characteristics - in battle, the help of a called four-legged ally plays a decisive role. You will be able to heal the creature at the expense of your own health (the ability to "encourage"), and the "dandelion" will give you additional protection. The best choice to start the game, with a character of this class, you will easily pass initial quests.

The appearance editor in the game is not as rich as in (no matter how hard you try, you get an anime character), but it can take quite a lot of time to customize the appearance of the hero. You can choose voice, hair style and color, physique, skin color and gloss, adjust eyes, eyebrows, lips, makeup, facial features and features (such as scars), plus fine-tune body parameters.

There are six official servers here - Agate, Amethyst, Sapphire, Topaz, Ruby and Emerald. You can choose any (for example, depending on which name you like best).

Interface

There is no permanent cursor in the game, although a crosshair appears while aiming at a target; To use the cursor, you must hold down the Alt key. The F button in the game is responsible for the interaction of the character with the outside world. All interface elements can be customized to your liking (Shift+F1).

1. Your character. Zooming in and out of the camera is done using the mouse wheel.

2. Indicators. These include health (red bar), Chi energy (marked with blue circles, required to use special skills) and the Wind Walk gauge (in the screenshot, a gray but usually green filled bar under Chi energy, needed for a unique method of movement, thanks to which the character can run on walls and water and soar).

3. Skill panel. Skills will be unlocked as the character develops and may change depending on the situation - in case of emergency, the game will offer the necessary icons (for example, in the event of a character's death, a respawn icon will appear at the nearest control point).

4. Quick Access Toolbar to the required items.

5. Chat. The main chat tabs are “all” (everything is displayed except combat messages), “combat” (combat messages - damage, healing, etc.), “dragon pillar” (search for groups, for example, to go to dungeons), “group / team" (group chat), "school/faction" (school and faction chat). Tabs can be created and configured independently (setting - right-click on the tab).

6. Character Information- level, name, money, soul particles (exchanged for faction points), beans (given for victories and defeats in PvP, needed to buy special items) and Khon's Path coins (they can be spent in the in-game store). An experience bar stretches along the bottom edge of the screen - now the character is at the very beginning of the game, so the bar is invisible.

7. Minimap. Customizable according to your desire. The yellow dot in this case indicates story quest. Blue marks indicate regular quests, purple marks are training quests (here you can get new skills), red marks are faction quests (to take such quests, you need to put on a faction costume), gray marks are not available on this moment. In B&S, a lot of attention is paid to the plot, so it's worth watching all the cutscenes and carefully reading the dialogues.

8. Quests. Clicking on a quest will open the quest log (J); You can collapse the list if you wish.

9. Notifications and menu. New mail, screenshots, group invites, crafting, weapon breakdown notifications, and more will be displayed here. The in-game store icon (F10) is always displayed. In the game menu (Esc) you will find many sub-menus that you will have to explore on your own to successfully complete - do not worry, most of the icons will be explained to you during the tutorial. Dungeons (F8) and fights (F9) will only be available after reaching level 15.

AT character menu(P) among other things, you will be able to monitor the characteristics that in one way or another will affect game process. The character's parameters will grow in parallel with the level, but they can be additionally improved with a variety of items of equipment.

Blade&Soul provides players with an impressive amount of features and content - you definitely won't get bored in it. Leveling, crafting, PvP, dungeons and many other components of the game require a more detailed description, but the above information will be enough for novice players to navigate the world of the game that is still alien to them.

The Secrets of the Ancients expansion has been released. The developers have added new mode, dungeon, rebalanced skills. But, for many, the addition of a shooting master from the Lin race was more pleasant news.

New arena mode

Get ready to take part in the Battle of Heroes. Take a look at the arena and get a chance to transform into legendary, previously non-playable characters. How about evaluating the skills of Jin Soyeon, Hong Seok Geun, or Po Hwarang? Well, if you do not like to fight against real players, go to a brand new raid for 12 gamers. In the hellish dungeon, your team will face the most terrible of monsters - the Flame Dragon. If you manage to withstand the heat of the monster, you will receive a precious reward.

Skill disable function

They said about the raid and the arena, there was a dungeon left. Dare to visit the Imperial Armory, you and five friends will have a hard time. The developers have created two merciless bosses who will not let anyone into the treasury. Details are unknown, but this is what company employees said: "Bosses will gladly and easily destroy any team." If you manage to outwit the monsters and defeat them, you will receive a precious Necklace of Passion (can be reforged). And the developers have added a skill disable function to the game. Henceforth, in order not to accidentally point your finger at an unnecessary skill, you can deactivate it in advance.

Guide How to quickly level up Blade & Soul

First, we will learn how to properly pump in this game.

Asking the question "How to upgrade" most players will undoubtedly say "By quests!". But this is by no means the case. No matter how strange and trite it may sound, but completing quests without fooling yourself with any nonsense, this method will take a lot of game time. Many players claim that quests can be completed in a matter of hours, but that time spent jogging from mob to mob is the majority of the leveling time. This method is not very progressive and takes a lot of time.

There are 4 different upgrades in the game:

1. Absolutely relying only on quests
2. Initial upgrade from the minimum levels (it takes place in the game, but it does not suit all classes present)
3. Pumping with the help of mobs (harmless grindan from level 4 to 45 and you will be distracted by one quest branch (yellow)
4. Mixed (combined) option.

The first method does not require comments. If this is your first time in Blade & Soul, you are not familiar with the plot, characters and the world around you, then this method is for you. The present world around the game is fascinating and unique, interesting for beginners. Quests that are related to the storyline are quite interesting and deserve to be completed at least once.

The second option is preferred by cat breeders, destroyers, and assassins. The essence of this method is quite simple, we pump through quests or mobs. Also included is storyline up to any level that you like (14, 26 or 32), after that we go to break faces in the arena up to the maximum level 45.

The third option is banal and boring. If we ignore the quests of the third location, then we will be given two problems as a gift: undoubtedly a small amount of gold and unfulfilled quests that will dare our conscience and an eyesore on the map.

The fourth way is exclusively individual. We choose all the most effective of the previous options.

Our goal is very simple: reach the maximum level for the day.

Being the very first on the server with level 45 is cool, of course, but why? It doesn't give you any desired effect. So why torture yourself and torture yourself?

Now let's talk about preparations. This guide is intended for people who do not mind spending a couple of hundred rubles on pumping, so as not to spoil their psyche. But if you do not want to spend finances, then this guide will suit you too, but the result will not give the expected hopes. For a more comfortable pumping, we need:

1. Ten soups with 100% experience (we do not take bonuses into account, we only need 100%)
2. Account (preferably premium, which will add extra boost to your experience)
3. Five hammers (to be honest, I didn’t need them, the fact is that each player receives different damage from mobs, especially after level 30 you will get into places where you have to run to the fire for a long time)
4. The profession of an alchemist or cook.

It is much more efficient to play not solo, but with 4-5 players. Ask why? Yes, because even if you don’t level up in dungeons, you can go through the story part of quests, travel to dungeons at levels 20, 22, 36, 40, exchange things together.

Now let's talk about stones. Amethyst and ruby ​​are the best choice of players, these stones can be obtained for NSD. Many will say that these are the only effective stones in the game, but they are wrong! We will need another stone that will help us with a small crit. And it's a quadrangular sapphire for recovery and crit for protection.

How to get this sapphire? We will get a lot of triangular stones throughout the game, and three of these fragments can be combined into a green sapphire, which is what we need. Further, as luck would have it. What is the use of stone? It will give you 100% crit for a crowd of eight mobs. No comment!

Well, are you ready? Let's find out how to level up fast!
