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.

The Bloody Crow of Cainhurst in Bloodborne was probably my toughest boss fight to date.
The scaling of the hunters on higher ng levels is so broken, once you get to like ng5 or 6 their health pools are just impossible. You just spent what feels like forever fighting the crow, basically perfectly because a single bullet takes away most of your life, chipping away at his health. And then once it gets below like half or something you have to now be incredibly aggressive because he will heal, and wipe out the last 5 minutes of work.
He's just impossible. But even other hunters like younger Maderas Twin just can't be defeated, or at least, I couldn't manage it
i only fought him on new game, but it was my first souls like, and i had done co-op with my partner for most of the rest of the game, so he was still pretty darn tough. i have heard before that they get pretty cray at high ng+ levels, but i can only imagine. honestly sounds more like a slog than a fun challenge to me though.
The crow is very challenging on any difficulty! Its cool you had a friend helping you with coop, I have been that friend a few times! I really love the coop in Bloodborne
So fucking understandable. Still a favorite of mine though, as hard as it was.
