Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

721 readers

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 know of Sekiro and Khazan so far - Sekiro via its reflections and Inner variants, and Khazan via just repeating the boss fight where you fought them initially. I quite like both and think it's cool to re-experience the fights if you feel like it. Which other soulslikes do that?

DS2 has bonfire ascetic which lets you bump an area up by one NG+ level and respawns the boss.

Can you do that on NG already or just on repeat playthroughs?

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can. Requires an item and puts that specific area on the next ng cycle.

Item is relatively rare.

Except for the part where you can farm them infinitely in the giant memories.
