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?

My last character was a Dark Souls 1 Black Knight Halberd build. I think he'd smoke the shit outta Bloodborne. That thing was OP AF! 🀣

[–] Berttheduck@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did you get real lucky on that halberd dropping? I remember one of my Dex builds switching to strength quite quickly after finding one of those.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's a guaranteed drop off the black knight in the Darkroot Garden.

If you killed him by having him fall off the cliff, just quit to main menu and continue, and the item will be on the ground near where he fell.

[–] Berttheduck@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm thinking of one of the other black Knight weapons. Haven't played ds1 in a long while now.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

Probably the greatsword. There is 1 with it in Undead Burg (the one on the tower) but you have a better chance at getting one from the infinite spawns in the kiln. IIRC, it's a 1% chance when having 10 soft humanity, the symbol if avarice and the gold ring on.

The Goat from Goat Simulator is an interesting crossover that I'd love to try.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 11 points 1 week ago

I'm pretty sure that goat is actually one of the beasts

I was playing mechwarrior 5: mercenaries. Do I get my battle mechs cuz if so I’m fucking the hunt up with PPCs and LRMs

[–] LNRDrone@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

I've been playing Riftbreaker, so similar deal with a big mech with absurd firepower and giant melee weapons. I think it would be more of a question of dealing with insight and other weirdness, surviving and killing anything should be pretty easy.

MelinoΓ« from Hades 2

I think she'd be all right. She has experience with dream magic, monsters and gods.

[–] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

She might even be too prepared, maybe just suffer some cultural shock.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Dude, she'd navigate around the enemies with 0 effort and would look cooler than the Hunter doing it

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 12 points 1 week ago

The last game I played was Automobilista 2, the main character is just an ordinary human that's good at driving cars

So in other words yes, he will drift around all the monsters, get all of the Great Ones to take an interest in racing, and thereby save Yharnam as depicted in the canon sequel Nightmare Kart

[–] Lojcs@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No idea what the hunt is but Doom guy should do fine

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

It's the overarching reason for the happenings in Bloodborne. Think a purge instigated by the governing body to get rid of blood-crazed denizens of Yharnam who turned to beasts.

And yea, the Doom Slayer will do just fine, holy shit can you imagine

Last character I played was in Warframe.

She'd(Garuda) replace the end boss.

My new Druid in Path of Exile 2 would pretty much smoke bloodborne.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No idea what "The Hunt" is, but the engineer from Factorio will probably be fine based on the piles of biter corpses surrounding my base.

DRG Dwarf Engineer. Infestation problems? Automated turret, mate.

[–] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

(Just barely logged a couple of hours) but I think Sekiro could do just fine as a hunter. And later in the game, mikiri countering Maria... or Logarius shitty little sword, no, better yet, jump on him, sayonara mf!!!!

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 6 points 1 week ago

I just started a new pyromancer build in Dark Souls III. I sure hope blood echos are compatible with soul leveling, or else it’s going to be a long night.

[–] tomatoely@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

I feel Alucard will feel right at home in Yharnam!

[–] rottenmummy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Zoe from Split Fiction. I guess dead within 10 seconds

Cultic.
Yeah, that's an extermination.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The main character of League of Legends, John Legend, would probably not fare too well. Depends on the champion. The last one I played was Amumu I think? Yea he's toast

[–] Nikko882@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'd probably say that Ryze is the main character of LoL. Dude is out here traveling across the land, searching far and wide. Trying to ~~catch them all~~ collect all the world runes before they cause another disaster. His cinematic (Power) gave real main character vibes.

(And I think Ryze would have a pretty good shot at surviving Yharnam.)

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Yea Ryze would be fine for sure. Many champs would be I feel like

[–] froufox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

My John Nightreign, on the other hand, would be fine

[–] Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hornet from Silksong. Yeah, she's fine. Although she might be too small for any of the enemies to even notice her. Well, there's probably a Hunt happening among the bugs of Yharnam at the same time for her to take part in.

[–] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

She could infiltrate their innards and wreck them from the inside, beasts and bosses alike! shes a bug so no blood = immunity from the scourge, stealthy approach. The invisible hero of Yharnam.

[–] Panties@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Hornet from Silksong. Probably really depends on whether her size and power scales up to about a human? Otherwise she'd just be a tiny bug running around..

[–] MissingInteger@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

My RL1 Tarnished from Elden Ring?

They would be fine. They got the Star Fist, Ice spear and so much other stuff like actually good armor and they can actually decently jump.
Also I'm one step away from the Lord of Chaos ending. My Tarnished would burn the Great Ones with the Frenzied Flame to the ground.

[–] Berttheduck@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Last game was X4 foundations. So it entirely depends on if I get my spaceship or not. If yes then the hunt is a non issue, just take off and leave. If not I'm pretty sure my dude is screwed. He's got a spacesuit with a little laser and a bomb launcher with 2 shots, probably wouldn't get very far in Yarnham.

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

If the Operator has the Warframe they are fine if not they are probably fucked.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

Lieutenant Titus will make mincemeat of everything, even without power armor

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Depends, does Robert Robertson get his mech?
