There will definitely be a couple bosses more frustrating than the Black Rabbit Brotherhood. No shame in lowering the difficulty if you're anywhere close to ragequitting tho. A game's meant to be fun - if it's not fun, why bother?

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.

Lol the White Lady is already more frustrating, although not being a proper boss.
I hear you. I finished the game like 5 times and the White Lady I still struggle with lol
I found it harder than others in the genre. The parry timing never clicked for me. Sekiro became intuitive. Lies of P just gave me a headache.
Dark Souls 3 or Elden Ring are probably the easiest if you use all the tools available to you.
I suck at soulslike, even though I love them. There's a cheese if you want and if it hasn't been patched yet, throwables are quite powerful. I did finish the game overall though, not always cheesing it 😁
Yeah I read that :p but I don’t like throwables, because it makes me rely on a super limited resource to deal damage. So I just never use them :p
It's actually not that crazy limited. It can seriously augment "real" play.
lol okay, that is really cheesy. Just tried it out on the white lady and the few throwables I had on me took the quarter of health I needed to take her out. In the last couple of attempts I managed to get her down to 25% before dying.
Cool trick, but I don’t think I will be using it. It does seem like real cheese.
Depends on the skill level. For me it's often necessary 😂 But yeah, I agree. However since there aren't human summons, I needed this for some bosses.
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!
