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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

Is Lies of P really difficult ? (lemmy.world)

Hi Y’all!

So first of this is my fourth attempt at getting into a souls like. Previously have given a go at Elden Ring, Sekiro and Demon Souls, but always bailed or rage quit.

But I just got my hands on Lies of P and recently reached the rabbit siblings and have been dying, replaying and dying, but also progressing.

So I am confused, because I read people say Lies of P is like super punishing and difficult. So does it ramp up at some point or is people just overselling it?

Mostly no, but certain bosses yes. They are all very doable but you may need to change tactics. Brotherhood is hard because of multiple targets. I switched to a weapon with a wider sweep to increase my chance of hitting multiple enemies. I found that mostly I would use the summon assist to distract the big guy (hopefully) and really focus on killing off each little one as fast as possible to keep 2 or less enemies on the field. Use fable arts on the big dude, want to get your major damage on him. If you arent great at parrying look for weapons that give a high defense, or big guy's hits will really chew your health. Swap amulet to the one that hits humans harder. Use your fire thing on the blade sharpener. Use the miracle that heals your partner.

Thanks, I changed my grind stone element thing to fire, but that was pretty much it. Now the big guy is red pavement paint!
