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?

I'm on my way to finishing my recent Sekiro playthrough that I started on PC. Just got to Fountainhead and killed that lightning enemy that prevents you from going into the water and am currently on my way to [Redacted] to get the final necessary item for the true ending of the game. Might do another run after that where I go for the evil ending. >:]

I've got lots of merch actually, and it's hard to pick a favourite piece. None of it is official, but I have a few standouts. The hoodie in the thumbnail I got from my fiancée as a Christmas gift along with an awesome Hunter's Mark zip hoodie that she made herself in addition to a quite spooky Orphan of Kos shirt she got from the same site as the hoodie - will share pics soon. :)

Apart from that, in terms of clothing, I've got three Bloodborne shirts I got off Redbubble of Laurence, Gascoigne, and the Abhorrent Beast, as well as two Sekiro shirts that I love a lot. That should be it.

I also have a self-made brooch that looks like Sophia's brooch from Lies of P that a friend of ours made two of: one for her cosplay and another for my birthday a couple months ago. And my fiancée made me a lamp that looks like the roundtable hold table with iconic weapons from the game instead of the usual regular swords.

My favourite is probably the roundtable hold lamp. I use it every day whenever I sit at my desk and want a small light to give me comfort and not burn my eyes out. It's quite nice. Will have to get some rechargable batteries for it somewhere down the line, though, because it's on quite often and eats through batteries relatively quickly, I could imagine.

Enough bragging :P What do you got to show off?

I don't have anything official, but I have the replicas I'm doing myself. Messmer's helmet and spear, (and rest of the costume for cosplay... which still need a tonne of work).

I want to do Artorias full armor, a legion arm from Lies of P, and Malenia's helmet as well.

I'm probably gonna play Elden Ring or Nightreign but I see Sekiro on sale so.... Maybe it's time??

Also...

"Hunter's Mark zip hoodie that she made herself" ... "made me a lamp that looks like the roundtable hold table"

Yoo these look so cool. I hope you'll share the final results once they're ready :) Which Legion arm will it be? If I had the time back when I cosplayed P for Gamescom, I probably would have gone with the basic one Maybe the Puppet String one since I've used it quite often.

It's definitely tough to get into at first. It's very different from your average soulslike. However, I'd imagine you'd be fine playing through it if you got through Lies of P relatively unscathed. Some bosses feel a lot more bullshitty, some a lot less.

Tyyyy :) 💜✨

ikr? :P Finally I can say that for real :D

Sure, I'll share some pics once the build is done or closer to completion!

For the legion arm I'm deciding between, Fulminis (sp?) or Flamberge Because they feel not as complicated construction wise and they are not very bulky or detailed, but both designs are really cool. Even though I didn't really use them in any playthrough. XD.

The ones I did use all feel they'd be too complicated... But Maybe Icarus? we'll see.

A working Icarus legion arm would be soo cool. But both Fulminis as well as Flamberge are awesome too
