A player has discovered the hidden boss Serenity Maiden Liu in New World. This boss only appears when a specific series of tasks is completed. However, there was no title or good loot as a reward. On reddit, he receives a lot of sympathy from other players for this great achievement.
Serenity Maiden Liu is a level 60 opponent that can also be defeated by a player alone. However, summoning the boss is rather complicated.
According to the reddit user EarthlingKira, it took an “absurdly long time” to solve the puzzle for summoning. He did not show the exact steps in the video, but gave a few cryptic hints in a comment. He assumes that he is the first person to have summoned and defeated the boss.
In his video, you can then see the fight and at the end also the rewards. For solving the puzzle, there was only a blue item, a potion, and the gypsum for named bosses as a reward.
Players feel sympathy due to the low rewards
Many users on reddit are excited that there are hidden bosses and secrets of this kind in New World. They hope that there are more contents that will gradually be discovered by the players.
However, a large portion of the players also feels sympathy for EarthlingKira:
- The user genogano writes: “A secret boss that gives you nothing that distinguishes you from others who did not solve the puzzle is quite a waste. At least you should have received a title or an achievement.”
- Sinikal_ writes: “Really, really cool thing. But extremely disappointing rewards for this effort.”
- The user Octipice cynically responds: “It feels like you summarized the entire game in short form.”
Since the release of New World, there has been criticism of the reward system and the high grind. A lot of effort for little yield was also the summoning of this boss.
How is the boss summoned?
EarthlingKira noticed the puzzle because some Corrupted Swarmers (Crawler) and Impalers were not standing in the correct places at the Outpost of Tranquility in Everfall. What many players would see as a “bug” has here led to the appearance of a special boss.
In a comment, the user gives a few hints for summoning the boss, but no complete guide:
- Whenever you kill a Swarmer or Impaler, a new one spawns somewhere
- It becomes increasingly difficult to find these new enemies
- If you run too far away or take too long, the puzzle resets
- A total of 21 enemies must be defeated
- The order of kills plays an important role
Are there more bosses of this kind? Yes, EarthlingKira is quite sure of that. There is supposed to be another puzzle in Brackwater, in Syleio Seko. Kira also assumes that there is probably a correct way to enter the cathedral in Myrkgard and that the spawn of the Flying Dutchmen may not be as random as many think.
What do you think about the boss and such puzzles in New World? Have you perhaps already solved such a puzzle? Feel free to write it in the comments.
