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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

Originally was gonna say that fat blob demon from DS2 but have to go with that damn copy pasted cat statue from Elden Ring or the tree sentinels. Just the most unoriginal fights that were obvious padding for a game stretched too thin to justify the open world.

I don't mind the Burial Watchdog as a boss. When they become regular enemies in the Mountaintop and spam their buffed AOE stomp? Yeah that's bullshit.

I quite like the Tree Sentinels they are nice entirely optional Bosses and prepare you for the Draconic Tree Sentinels and the Lorettas.

That entire catacomb is absolutely brutal. It's so big and so full of misdirects. At least one of the watchdogs can be taken out with the icy pillar trap

For some reason I've never worked out, I find the sentinels fine but unexceptional to fight, but Loretta (the real one) is one of my absolute favourite fights in the game despite sharing much of the moveset

Loretta is also such a cool character lore wise and Loretta's Greatbow is a fantastic spell: ultra long range and tracking.
