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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Such an interesting question to which I have no satisfying answer, I'm afraid. Except for Onze, whom I did fight and enjoyed from the little time I've spent with SotE, I don't think there's too many bosses I've fought that fit the criteria well. The closest in vibes would be the Mad Clown Puppet from Lies of P because it's such a prick. Just look at this fucker:
It's not even small, actually it's bigger than P, but it kinda fits the vibe. Once you get the hang of the parry timings, the fight gets substantially easier.
The only other enemy I could think of are the Assassins or "Rats" from Sekiro:
They come in a couple variants and some have steel-enforced straw hats that deflect basically any attack you throw at them. You need the Axe Prosthetic to cleave it apart and be able to damage them. Their kill blows are pretty metal tho: They jump on your back and bend you backwards until your spine snaps. Sounds quite gruesome now that I type that out :s
I wonder a boss fight against one of these would have looked like
Oof, those rat dudes sound like hell even if they aren't a boss. Definitely horrible-little-man material
