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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

There is a teleporter in Elden Ring base game that leaves from an early game area (weeping peninsula) and goes to the top of a giant elevator in Leyndell. However, the elevator is inoperable from the top, and there's no legitimate way to get down safely, so it's supposed to be a sneak peek dead end.
If you equip a physick flask that makes you blow up after a delay, drink it, fall down the elevator shaft, and attack in midair right before exploding, the attack+explode resets your fall height value, and you can survive the drop. With this method you can access Leyndell much earlier than intended.
I learned to do it and got it a couple times in a row once, but it's not really worth doing. I still try it a few times every time I start a run, mostly because I like to run around Leyndell and grab some early items.
Force Quit Wrong Wrap should be easier and requires no set-up. Just wrap away from the tower and force close the game just before it finishs loading.
Wrong Warp is a thousand times easier. But watching my guy die to the elevator fall 20 times before he gets thrown sideways mid-mid-air-punch and then get back up like nothing happened is a thousand times funnier.
