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.

Have you played the DS3 DLCs at SL1? My SL1 run is currently stuck at Soul of Cinder, just can't stop getting greedy and eating combos.
Personally I found NK wasn't bad, but I struggled with about as many attempts as you on both Twin Princes and Champion Gundyr. At least they are all fun fights though!
I did do the DLCs and i don't recall any of them being too bad. It did help in general though i had already done plat so had gone through the game several times and had practiced most bosses and was familiar with their moves before doing SL1. the problem with NK was just that i had never bothered learning the timing of his sword attacks and the one that one-shotted me i kept dodging too soon or too late.
SoC for me was pretty similar to NK but i found it more forgiving since there's more strikes that won't instant kill you. I do think once i started playing more patiently i was able to stop trading hits and that made the difference.
I don't recall trouble with twin princes or champion gundyr. Unfortunately i think i deleted the folder that had all my death tracking for each SL1 run ๐ญ
NK is really sneaky like that. I remember noticing he has that slight delay which became prominent with Elden Ring bosses.
What did you use to track deaths?
Ha, exactly! this was before i did elden ring and i hated that about elden ring ๐
Just used pen and paper with tally marks, and then i had saved them on the computer at some point. It was kind of fun to see the deaths per boss. I know speedrunners use some software that can track the deaths per segment too but you need to manually increment it still
