Ive been revisiting elden ring and have been keeping my summon sign up helping people.

I helped 5 people get through Malenia today when i had an interesting one... we beat the first phase, skipped cut scene, but instead of going up for her scarlet bloom....she didn't. I look at the health bar and she's got no health left. Before i could do anything she got attacked and died for good. It was bizarre. Hopefully the host didn't mind they got robbed of the 2nd phase lol.

So how about you-- any boss fights that glitched unexpectedly? Or non-boss fights? I know there are glitches people intentionally exploit for speed runs and skips so this isn't about those unless you happened to find them unexpectedly.

It's a glitch that's probably used in speed runs or BL4 runs in Bloodborne, but it's also one I've encounter naturally. Sometimes, when fighting Orphan of Kos and parrying at the correct time, maybe a few times in a row - can't remember - you can make Orphan just stop attacking altogether. He basically just chills and does nothing.

And there was probably some other glitch - I vaguely think there was one - when I was playing Khazan? I remember struggling with one particular boss and it somehow glitching out, basically also stopping all attacks and becoming a punching bag. Can't for the life of me remember who it was, though

I sometimes forget people parry. It was a hard thing to learn in sekiro/bloodborne ๐Ÿ˜…

Bloodborne isn't as reliant on it, but there's no way around it in Sekiro, I'm afraid, so good thing you did :D

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?
