Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".

Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

Still playing my Elden Ring RL1 run. I killed Bayle (The Sword Lance is awesome) and bounced off hard on Consort Radahn (Now I'm out of Bloodboil Aromatic). Only three Remenbrance Bosses remain for me: Consort Radahn, Malenia and Placidusax. So, I've technically already beaten it (I got more lucky than good with Radagon/Elden Beast).

Least favorite optional Boss? Some optional bosses are just bland, and I have no strong feelings about them. Maybe Darkbeast Paarl? No, I'm going with Metyr. I love the lore, design, and presentation of Metyr. The fight, though? Nah. I got super lucky (and planned well) on my RL1 run. Usually, though, this fight is a real slog, so I'm putting it off until the end of the DLC. I'll blast her with Shard Spiral for maximum damage. Fighting her in melee range is a nightmare, as is phase two with the laser and general mayhem. The presentation is great, but the fight can be a real slog.

Mad respect! You've got this! Yeah I've only played melee focused builds in ER and Metyr can go shove all her hand spawn up her ass.

I love the crazy shit Metyr does when super close to death, but she has just as shit hitboxes as the hands she births.
