Anything on your plate for the weekend? Anything you're playing to get into a spooky mood? Let us know!
To any of you celebrating today: enjoy your night, I hope you get lots of sweets, and can stave off any undead on your way!
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.
I just beat him last weekend on a regular run. I think I can see how most of that fight would be manageable at RL1, but how on earth are you dealing with the attack that's like the flame of frenzy incantation? I was able to consistently avoid, like... 90% of the damage from it, but that's way less of a concern for me than it would be at RL1
For the "Flame of Frenzy Incantation," which he casts from his head at the start of the fight, run towards him and strafe counterclockwise. This creates a large enough opening for a charge attack.
I am wearing the Ritual Shield Talisman and the Tree Sentinel Armor, which prevents me (mostly) from being killed in one shot. I use the Winged Tear to get Light Roll. However, I can still be one-shotted by the big explosion, impalement, or the buffed version of Frenzied Burst in phase two. The Frenzied Burst variant is especially troublesome since, with the visual noise of phase two, it looks like Flame of Frenzy before casting.
My best attempt yet got him down to about 8% health.
Ahh, that sounds like close to what I was doing, I must have just been starting the strafe too late or something. Sounds like you're damn nearly there though, good luck getting the last few percent!
