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.

Dark Souls!
I dropped DS1 for a few months because life got busy, but I was stuck on Four Kings for a frustratingly long time. Thanks to some advice from this community about that boss just being a DPS check, I focused on taking out Seath, and that was the final piece to my build.
See, I've been playing a Sorceror. She's a great character because my game corrupted and ruined my save twice after getting through Blighttown. I was scared of Ornstein and Smough this whole time, and my build ran through them in 2 minutes.
Unbeknownst to me, the Duke's Archives contained everything I needed to get my Magic Balder Side Sword from +5 to +10. There's also a really good grinding spot, so I was able to get Logan's Catalyst before I left as well. I was also able to get DEX to 45 and INT to 40 before I left for that sweet, sweet maximum cast speed. I pretty much shredded the Four Kings after that.
So, I took that momentum to Nito. I used the Ring of Fog and Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring to avoid being detected by the skeletons and whomped his ass. Bed of Chaos has the worst runback in history. Decent boss idea but jeeeeeeeeeez did they not execute that well.
Now it's time to do the DLC and I'm off to kindle the First Flame!
