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?

Ive been revisiting elden ring and have been keeping my summon sign up helping people.

I helped 5 people get through Malenia today when i had an interesting one... we beat the first phase, skipped cut scene, but instead of going up for her scarlet bloom....she didn't. I look at the health bar and she's got no health left. Before i could do anything she got attacked and died for good. It was bizarre. Hopefully the host didn't mind they got robbed of the 2nd phase lol.

So how about you-- any boss fights that glitched unexpectedly? Or non-boss fights? I know there are glitches people intentionally exploit for speed runs and skips so this isn't about those unless you happened to find them unexpectedly.

Not in Elden Ring, but a few times in other games.

In DS3 I was summoned to help with Dancer, and she somehow managed to grab me and the host at the same time. So we were about 15 feet apart, me in Dancer's hand, and host floating in mid air both going through the grab animation.

There was another time in DS3 in the Cathedral of the deep. The first giant hit me and knocked me into a small corner between the short staircase on the ground floor and I was stuck there, had to bone out.

And another glitch in Cathedral where I clipped through the ceiling while riding the elevator and went out of bounds - here's a YouTube short of it that I captured and also mention the above glitch https://youtube.com/shorts/g1mHaiism_k

In DS1 I had Moonlight Butterfly glitch out. It spawned much further away from the bridge than normal, and it was rotated 90 degrees so it was facing perpendicular to what it normally would be (facing towards the arena entrance rather than facing the bridge). I forget what happened, but I think I had to save and quit out to make it reload properly.

Wow, how do you even remember all that? I've fought so many bosses and I remember pretty much nothing about the encounters - let alone any glitches I might have seen

My memory is very poor, but somehow retains some info like this. And I guess the surprise of the glitches makes these moments more memorable. I could not tell you many details about the other 100 times I fought Dancer lol.

I guess it makes sense that it sticks out then
