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?

I was having a lot more trouble with Juzou than with Lady Butterfly this time around. The last time I fought her must have been on my very first playthrough and while Juzou made me restart the game twice over the span of several years, she was definitely not a cakewalk either.

However, many bosses in this game kind of default to the same attack and deflect patterns if you're just aggressive enough. In this case, I essentially skipped the second phase, backed her in a corner, and kept attacking and deflecting her, leading to an easy kill.

Cheesing by playing the game correctly...

It didn't feel earned because I just kept spamming attacks and deflects. she didn't even get to do any of her flash phase 2 moves. But eh, didn't feel like bashing my head against a wall for hours either so

Understanding the cheese is 100% part of getting stronger.
