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.

Elden Ring: a playthrough with the Sword of Night and Flame; i need a palate cleanser after my RL1 run. With the ^Sword_of_Night_and_Flame^ I can invest nigh endless levels in a super powerful weapon that's not viable at RL1
Cleric Beast in Bloodborne: took me dozens of attempts. Bloodborne was my first Souls game and man did cleric beast throw me up and down that bridge. I even found Gascoigne's summon sign, got him killed twice and then didn't understand why his sign wasn't there anymore (I had no idea about Insight at that point). But eventually, very eventually Cleric Beast was defeated. Now that I think about it some more it's not that embarrassing. Cleric Beast is a tutorial Boss for fighting large enemies and it did definitly thoroughly teach me that.
From no stat leveling to leveling all your stats. * have yet to really utilize that sword because 4 stats to build up for maximum AR with how it scales just seems like it would take longer than it's worth. ๐คฃ
Is mostly just an Int/Faith weapon. The Dex/Strength returns are minimal. One part of the skill, the beam, scales with only int and the fire fan only faith. The nice thing is how many buffs you can stack on top of one another with this build: Golden Vow, Howl of Shabriri, Tera Magicka + Magic Physick + Magic Ring, Rannala Cameo, Alexander Shard, Ritual Sword. It's going to be glorious.
If you want a true 4 stat weapon than look at Rellana's Twin Blades. Same deal with the Skill, but the weapon mostly scales mostly quality (Dex and Strength evenly)
