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.

His attacks on his first phase are really hard to track. It took me a minute to master his first phase, he can combo kill you quickly, his grab attacks are all but one-shot fatal, and a lot of his attack chains are varied, so if I managed to get a couple of whacks in the last time he did a certain move, the next time he extends the combo and pummels me.
My strategy of first phase has become to hit him with oil, flame vent him, imbue my weapon with flame and just bully him with it until he recovers. Rinse and repeat. A bit of a safe strat, but it def makes 1st phase much quicker while not exposing yourself to much danger
