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.

Malenia with a tower shield and spear was fun. She's like "spin spin spin" and I'm like "no. And furthermore: counter poke"
They might have nerfed her healing or something, because it doesn't fill her health all the way back up like I expected
Wait, that sounds hilarious. Very stupid but hilarious. Did you use this setup for your entire playthrough or just for Malenia?
Most of the run. I used the antspur rapier for a lot of the game- good shield poke, rot, and accepts ashes. Usually do blood, but sometimes poison for double status build up.
For malenia I used morghwyn's huge blood spear.
There's probably other good poke weapons too, but this is what I've been using.
It's a fun play style. I'm just getting into the DLC with it. Worked really well on the divine beast dancing lion.
