Let's start up the meme factory again, FromSluts!

For trashposting and memes about Souls games developed by FromSoft.

Be civil and don't make me write rules here.

Shoutout to my one friend that had no idea you were supposed to run from Asylum Demon and actually did beat it with the broken short sword

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, I did that too! I did realise part way through that I was meant to flee, but by that point, I'd already spent so much time attacking it that I had committed to my quest.

You get a pretty good drop if you do it, too

Ehhhhhh....

By the time you're able to use it, you'll have better options

You say that but the last fromsoft game had literally the first boss be one you are supposed to die to

EDIT: yep, forgot armored core exists

I'm drawing a blank. Wasn't the first AC6 boss that helicopter?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago (3 children)

They forgot about AC6 and were thinking of the Grafted Scion outside the Chapel of Anticipation in Elden Ring.

I got you. Demon's Souls started with a boss you were supposed to die to as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I first thought they might have meant Elden Ring, but I completely forgot about Grafted Scion!

"Surely they didn't mean Tree Sentinel... Maybe something I'm forgetting in AC6?"

Is this a joke or is asylum demon not what they're referring to?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Asylum Demon is trash

There is an Asheron's Call 6????? I thought they stopped at 2.

I don't think you're supposed to die to the AH12?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't have to die to it.

If you beat it, you walk off the precipice of anticipation and end up in the cave.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Did I say you 'have' to die to it? I said supposed to die to

Seeing boss before playing a FromSoft game: "Oh no..."

Seeing boss after beating a FromSoft game: "Come back here and fight, coward!"

Rimworld: you are bleeding and will soon lose consciousness. The only person who can help you has just gone mad. You get to watch the inevitable death for as long as it takes, but you get a good story out of it.

Also Rimworld: Then, the man in black arrives.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

The Man in Black is solely there to be a witness to my base burning down

Seath killing you is a necessary gamestage event in DS1.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's skippable, but you have to do a jump from the second elevator you ride up that's extra difficult to get right.

It messes with the prison and library sequence, or at least it used to IDK if they fixed it in remastered.

Roguelite games: Are we a joke to you?
