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?

Are you using any glitches at all? If so, which ones and in which game? Or do you know of any interesting ones that you haven't tried (yet)?

Archived image source.
The image is a humorous rendering of the Gate Skip in Bloodborne. A notoriously finicky glitch which uses the wolfs grab to phase through the gate at the start by the clinic. This grants early access to the back and the forest.

I did the fall critical glitch to get to the bottom of that damn shaft with the fingerprint shield the first time I got down there in Elden Ring. I couldn't platform on those damn planks and kept dying so I said fuck it. Other than that one I can't think of any glitches I know of let alone tried.

The couple of times I tried that one. I always landed on some debris.

The damn platforming is a bit easier if you backstep instead of jump.

But I might try this glitch on my current playthrough, since I don’t need any items and can try again to directly plunge down to the Three Fingers.

Thanks for reminding me of this glitch :)

I can do it reliably now that I know the steps but my first time...eeesh.

On my first playthrough I somehow, I really, really don’t how, got don’t there first try deathless. I payed for that in subsequent playthroughs with many, many deaths.
