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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Fucking Guardian Ape. It doesn't make any sense - I usually manage to beat the duo on my first try! But the ape himself usually takes me significantly longer than Sword Saint Isshin.
I've now settled on a strategy where I wittle down his first phase as quickly as possible, and if I haven't used too many heals, I'll kite him around and only attack while he's locked in the forward lunge attack. That way I can usually manage the second phase on my first (good) attempt.
