I’ve been playing anything but soulslikes recently. Climbing my way up the ranked ladder in League, played some Darkwood, and recently got obsessed with Pokerogue which has been a lot of fun.
Soulslikes can pose quite a challenge for players with their oftentimes quite brutal difficulty: insane boss patterns that leave no breathing room, high amounts of damage, status damage. Luckily, many bosses allow for strategies that exploit intended as well as unintended weaknesses to make the fights a little more bearable. So following up on @[email protected]’s suggestion, I want to know what your favourite ways to cheese a boss in a Soulslike is.
Cheesing could be a glitch in this case, like glitching out the final boss of the Bloodborne DLC to stop them from attacking or having Gyoubu or a certain hateful spirit jump off a cliff in Sekiro, as well as “intended” cheeses, like chugging consumables and Fable Arts at bosses in Lies of P.
I haven’t done it myself, but I always found it incredibly funny to think about that the Capra Demon from DS1, a wall for many new players, can be killed from outside their fog of wall with stones and dung piles. Or a certain simian boss from Sekiro being very weak to the Mortal Draw to a point where he’s in a constant stagger animation and just dies without any counterplay.
What are your favourite cheeses?
That one’s quite easy to pull off too, right? And relatively early on. How many of these are there throughout the game? Two I think?
Awesome, enjoy! Looking forward to your impressions :)
So cute and love the colour! I should get my hair dyed soon too
Very very, easy yeah.
Night’s cavalry?..there are nine or ten in the game I can’t remember correctly. :PGod I’m so dumb sometimes.I guess you mean two cheesable ones. XD I don’t think the limgrave one can jump off the bridge anymore.
What color are you going for?
I’ve got a buzz cut, so my fiancée usually dyes some kinda patterns onto my head. She’s done Starry Night by van Gogh before, spirals, geometrical patterns, hearts for Valentine’s, card suits etc etc
Don’t have any ideas currently. Open to suggestions :)
That’s the coolest thing! I’m so jealous, my head is partially buzzed but I wouldn’t trust anyone with the task haha
Humm Solaire’s insignia? XD or … Let me provide some color/pattern inspo. Might be too wild for hair tho hehe
I haven’t gotten any other Night’s Cavalry to succumb to gravity. The one in the Forbidden Lands really wants to, but I think there are guardrails for him.
But you can cheese every Night’s Cavalry, by simply going to a high place and shooting them from there or by running farther than their roaming range and shooting them then.
