Have you ever had a boss glitch? Or other unexpected glitches? (self.soulslike)

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.

Huh, I thought they had "fixed" that bug. Originally the problem was that if you were playing co-op and/or had ashes summoned and then ended her first phase with a riposte, her second phase would spawn with 1 hp and not do the normal opening moves. There was a patch that was supposed to make ending her first phase with a riposte just... not do anything, because apparently that was the closest to an actual fix they could figure out. I have no idea why that patch change didn't take effect for you (assuming that the riposte thing is what happened, it's the only version of this glitch I know about)

Huh, i see that listed on the wiki now. All the fights i did today kind of blur together but sounds about right. I do think that she was crit from poise breaking though. I stunlocked her with my earthquake ash of war and once we broke her poise the other furled finger crit. But like i said everything blurs together so maybe it was a riposte

It's also definitely possible that it also happens with stance breaks and the wiki failed to mention it

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?
