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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.
Classic example is the depicted Demon of Hatred from Sekiro. Don't get me wrong - the fight does work in Sekiro. But it would feel at home in something like Bloodborne, at least that's what most fans say.
Is there any other boss you've encountered where you thought they'd fit a different soulslike better?
Amygdala and Ebrietas
Don't get me wrong; they fit in the setting. Amygdala makes that setting.
But oh my Kos, I would love to fight them in Elden Ring. In Bloodborne you attack their feet and wait for those brief opportunities to strike their heads. You can use a few ranged options to deal with them (Base Bloodtinge with Bone Marrow Ash does decent damage). But imagine them in Elden Ring with Weapon Arts, Sorceries, and Incantations. A ranged battle with Comet vs. a Call Beyond from Ebrietas would be awesome, or Miquella's Ring of Light against Amygdala's nonsense. This would turn these fights on their head and, in my opinion, make them more enjoyable.
Hard agree with Ebrietas. 60 fps, revised hitboxes and elden ring combat would be super fun! I mean agree on both :P but I already like the Ebrietas fight a lot so this would just perfect it.
