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.

That sounds rough and about the same as when I went through the game the first time around. You got the wall jump so you've been to the mantis village. Did you go to the left after the Mantis Lords or where are exactly are you headed to?
The thing is, as much as I hate this mentality, you kinda need to "git gud" at the game to some extent to not sink into despair since you can't upgrade your stats. Charms and nail upgrades only help so much, so the toughest part is just getting the hang of the movement and combat. Traversing the environment and mapping out where you need to go was also kinda frustrating at times because you get lost constantly. No shame in looking up for pointers though imo
I'm not sure where to go. An NPC mentioned a "nearby" village where I can get nail upgrades so I'm looking for that I guess. No idea what other objective I should be looking for though.
Besides getting lost I'm just dying to enemies that I don't notice until they hit me lol. And thorns and water and stuff. Might have to bite the bullet and look at the wiki. I can only take so much punishment for exploring when I'm not sure if I'm going the right way. I just want to get to some boss fights already.
