(前略)
1. Gotta Catch 'em
1. 抓住它们
Your first step in becoming a soultrapper begins with obtaining an image of the monster you wish to enter in Pankration.
成为灵魂猎者(soultrapper)的第一步是从获得(想要在Pankration-宠物对战中使用的)怪物的映像开始.
Head down to the Pit with some Imperial credits and purchase a soultrapping device (also called a "Soultrapper") and some blank soul plates.
到(宠物)竞技场使用帝国信用点购买一个灵魂捕捉设备(也称作"Soultrapper-灵魂捕捉器")和一些空白的灵魂"底片".
The Soultrapper acts as a type of camera which records the vital information of monsters onto soul plates.
灵魂捕捉器用起来像是一种把怪物的重要信息记录到灵魂底片上的相机.
Once you have equipped these items in your Ranged and Ammo slots, sneak up on a ferocious fiend and snap away.
当把这些东西(相机和底片)装备在你的远程武器和弹药栏位上以后, 小心地拍下凶狠的魔物(怪物?敌人?)的快照.
If you are successful, you will be able to use your newly acquired soul plate to create an item that will allow you to call forth a monster, or apply the monster's skills to another monster.
如果你成功了, 你就可以用你新拍的灵魂底片来创建一个允许你叫出(召唤?)怪物, 或者把怪物的技能移植到其它怪物身上的物品(目前不知道名称).
You'll be happy to know that pictures can be taken of most all monsters residing in Vana'diel, even the more "notorious" ones, such as behemoths and rams.
你一定会很乐意了解到大部分存在于Vana'diel的怪物都可以拍下照片, 甚至是一些NM, 比方说Behemoth和ram类型的怪物.
2. Soul Reflectors
2. 灵魂反射器
Now take your soul plate back to the Pit and trade it along with an ice crystal to the proper attendant.
现在带着你的灵魂底片回到竞技场并带着一块*冰水晶*一起交给对应的服务人员.
If the plate is one that contains the image of a summonable monster, you will receive a soul reflector infused with the information from your soul plate.
如果底片中包含可召唤怪物的映像, 你就会得到一个充入了来自灵魂底片的信息的灵魂反射器.
But before you can call your monster up for a Pankration battle, you must first submit the reflector for inspection.
*但是*在你叫出你的怪物来进行宠物对战之前, 你必须先把反射器提交检验.
If it passes all of the Pit's quality assurance tests, it will be deemed an official soul reflector and you and your monster will be one step closer to the battlecage!
如果它通过了所有的竞技场的品质测验, 它将会成为官方认可的灵魂反射器, 然后你和你的怪物距离战场就只有一步之遥了!
But what can you do with those soul plates that can't be forged into soul reflectors?
但是那些不能加工成灵魂反射器的灵魂底片应该怎么处理呢?
Some monsters (such as beastmen) have such strong wills that it is impossible to coerce them into fighting for you.
有一些怪物(比方说兽人什么的)具有很强的意志, 几乎不可能驱使它们为你战斗.
However, that doesn't mean you can't take advantage of their skills and teach those techniques to more impressionable monsters.
然而, 这并不意味着你不能从它们的技能上获益、把这些技术教给更具可塑性的怪物.
Try trading one of these unforgeable plates and a reflector to a Pit attendant.
试着把不能加工的底片之一和反射器一起交给竞技场的服务员.
If certain conditions are met, the attendant will take the skills from that plate and add them to the monster on your reflector!
如果符合特定的条件, 服务员将会把技能从底片中取出, 然后将它们添加到你的反射器中的怪物身上.
Imagine the sort of havoc a forest hare with deadly dark knight abilities could wield upon its enemies!
想象一下具有DRK致命技能的Forest Hare轻松战翻对手的*壮观*场面吧!
3. Red Tape
3. 参赛程序
The Pit consists of four "battlecages" where Pankration matches are constantly being held.
竞技场由四个经常进行宠物竞技比赛的战场(battlecage)组成.
Once you have acquired an official soul reflector, take it to a registration officer to sign up for one of the following two types of battles:
一旦你的灵魂反射器获得官方认可, 带它到登记人员那里注册以下两种战斗之中的一种:
- Exhibition (Battlecages "Annihilation" "Bloodlust" "Carnage")
- 展示 (战场 "灭绝" "血腥" "残杀")
As long as there is an opening, soultrappers can enter their monsters in exhibition matches at any time they wish.
出于开放性, 灵魂猎者可以在任何希望的时间让他/她们的怪物加入*展示*比赛.
However, there are no level restrictions in any of the three cages, and no records of winners or losers will be kept.
然而, 这三个战场全都没有等级封顶, 并且不会存留关于胜败双方的记录.
If you wish, you can have your monster pit against the monster of your choice by forming a party with the monster's owner and reserving an entry slot for your opponent when submitting your application.
如果你原意, 你可以通过和其它人组队的方式来在提交申请时选择你的(怪物的)对手)怪物).
- Tournament (Battlecage "Diablo")
- 擂台 (战场 "魔王/恐惧/暗黑破坏神?")
Pit your monster against the current cage champion.
让你的怪物和当前擂主较量.
If it wins, it is declared the new champion and will continue to battle opponents until it is dethroned.
如果它赢了, 它将成为新擂主, 并且继续和其它对手战斗, 直到被战胜为止.
How many matches can you win?
你能嬴多少比赛呢?
