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?

[Discussion] Which glitches do you use in Soulslikes? (lemmy.zip)

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.

A short skip in the forest: you jump by thennook with the crows over the scenery directly to the area with the cannon. I do this in higher NG Cycles.

Sounds easy enough, 100℅ gonna attempt this next time! And the other shortcut glitches .I'm a goodie two shoes, only ones I've used are for inducing suicide :P on occasion

Not mentioned yet (BB):

  • the hunter in research hall can be coaxed to jump if you shoot at him.form the floor above. (From the side not connected by the stairs)

*not suicide but near the top of the research hall in the enlarged head enemy with the IV stick can chase up the ladder and get stuck there.

Not useful other than to avoid fighting it.

I've had the occational sudden boss death, the death bird near castle sol expired after falling over the mini cliff next to the area it spawns... Idk if it was a one time thing...it's such a small cliff,/looked goofy af.

I'm gonna try that in my next playthrough. What I did try with him, is yeet him of with Beast Roar. You can have so much fun especially in the Research Hall with Beast Roar.

The Death Rite Bird in the mountaintops seems to be cheesable(?) with that cliff; haven't done it my self but found this short tutorial.

I also had an unexpected sudden boss death: the Regal Ancestor Spirit teleported itself out of the map in my most recent playthrough, netting me a very confusing 0 hit kill.

I happen to have a character just before reseach hall so Imma try the beast roar on that mf.
