I've played through most of the soulslikes I put my mind to but I still haven't played/finished DS1/2.

I started a playthrough of DS1 and got to Quelaag but didn't actually fight her because I was cursed and wanted to cleanse it first - couldn't find my way back, unfortunately, and didn't want to look up guides lol. And now the save is gone, so I'll have to start over - ie. I probably won't play anytime soon :D

Haven't played DS2 yet because I wanted to play them in chronological order.

What about you?

The thing with sekiro is the cooldown between blocking and not blocking is very short so parry spamming is a viable way to learn the timings. Also the game has lots of arm attachment tools to mitigate enemies you can struggle with. Fireworks basically got me through many of the tough fights.

This community has reasured me a couple of times now that it's not as super hard as I was led to believe, so thanks. And after trying Lies of P now I feel better knowing I can do the thing the game wants me to do. XD

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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
