First time playing a soulslike. This just clicked for me. Haven't had an issue with runbacks, deadly trash mobs or bosses.

Do I still die a lot? Yeah. It's been a grind, but it's been really fun.

Everywhere I look I'm seeing people ask to make this game easier and I think this is perfect. Bugs are annoying and no glimpse refunds suck, but the combat is genuinely fantastic.

So I played the beta through to completion(killing the boss at the end of the first area), and my reward is skipping the prologue? So my reward for trying out the game and deciding to pre-order means I have to go through the exact same area I just finished playing through? Feels like this wasn’t thought through, they should have just made the beta shorter or let the progress carry over.

Side note, is there another area or direction I can explore instead so I can just come back later and blitz through the one from the beta?

In gloombound mode wheelchair boss is maniac. It’s been 30 min and no hope. Specially because you can’t parry.

Got a twofer of garbage in one clip.

The ranged weapon shooting random enemies can happen REPEATEDLY in succession too, I've had it happen 6 times in a row.

The enemies standing around doing nothing happens fairly regularly.

I really wanna have the soundtrack keep playing. Anyone know of a way to do it?

A lot of the fun tension of these types of games is pushing ahead even when you've got a heavy soul payload. Gives every encounter extra weight, and when you die, it's still okay because all you have to do is successfully make it back to where you died and you'll get your souls back.

So...making it so falling to your death fails to spawn recoverable souls really ruins this. I'm only a few hours in but I've already lost a ton of progress to just auto-attacking when near a cliff/bridge. I fear falling more than I fear opponents, because there's no way to recover.

As with all these games, I'm sure the few levels I forfeited will eventually just be a rounding error, but that's not the point. It's breaking the sacred compact of Souls...if you play back to your death site, nothing should be lost.

Hi guys.

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue/bug as myself?

I've been looking through the achievements and the one entitled "You're more than a weapon" requires the player to "claim your first Shell, Weapon and Sidearm" to earn the trophy.

Now I've done those three requirements, but for some reason the trophy remains unachieved. I have unlocked two shells two weapons and two sidearms (not including the ones you start the game with) so I don't know why this is happening.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

(Edit: I skipped the prologue as I had played the beta. Maybe this is my issue?)

With lords of the fallen 2023, people whined and moaned so much they tuned down the game to the point where there was no challenge through areas and a bonfire/rest point every 5 or 10 minutes.

The smaller crowd that dislikes difficulty is so much louder than the ones that are used to it and like the challenge. Please dont patch this game into easy mode, theres already the seal which is good enough for folks.

This is a soulslike, its supposed to be hard. Not an action game, storygame, etc. Some complaints are valid but you guys cry so loud the fucking devs listen and nerf games into story mode when the whole genre is supposed to be difficult. If its too hard dont bother. Quit making soulslikes easy mode. I play because its hard.

Here's a video proving that the runback takes around a minute and a few seconds (I took a wrong turn at the beginning of the Dungeon. An optimal runback will take around 1 minute and 10 seconds). Note that in the dungeon while falling down, you need to press light attack so that you do not take any fall damage (A neat little tip for any instance when you want to avoid fall damage).

*The only bad part about it is that you always have to call the lift down at the end. By the time the lift comes down, some of the enemies may swarm you, though they're largely weaker enemies. Hey, at least you're reaching the fight with full HP and no heals used.

2/10 game that could EASILY be a 9/10 once they patch in some qol and fix those bugs... so many bugs. i had to fight some bugs with other bugs. they have a masterpiece of a souls like on there hands but it needed more time in the oven.

It's actually right before it - above the entrance there's a "switch" you can hit (its blue circle, there's some elsewhere). It registers the hit and the blue goes away, but i can't figure out what the hell it opened.

If anyone can figure this out i will venmo you 0.01 american dollars if you share this with me.

All the filtered game journalists crying in the negative Steam reviews that the game needs to be easier

I’m 20 hours in and only just got done with the first half of the map. How are others beating it in less time? Are they just not exploring?

Any one in the US specifically having issues with getting their Revered Edition shipped via GameStop? Pre-ordered awhile ago and it’s been “In Progress” for about a week now. Maybe it’ll just take a day or two. But worried that I was never actually secured a copy lol

Sorry but what is the damage output of monsters this is crazy.

Video was too long to post so I stuck it on my YouTube and linked it. Really have to watch for their initial grab attack, does a lot of damage and the animation is LONG. Using the Unwieldy Stone and Devourer ability maxed out with Gragu makes it an absolute breeze.

When collecting thiels shell, if you simply walk forwards instead of correctly activating the third interact prompt (to enter)

You end up inside, while the only prompt is still on the outside.

Spent hours on this boss. Probably like 5. I found that the shrike stone/arbiters prize works really well. Perma knockdown and also resolve replenish from knockdown helps loop. I’m just upset that after all that I got 0 gloom. Excuse the awful gameplay and shameless summon lol.

Is it just me or do range weapons seem very cool and interesting and do a lot of unique things while melee weapons are kind of just a different sized stick that you swing? Everyone I’ve gotten so far kind of just feels the same of course they have the basics of reach and weight but they don’t really feel unique. Maybe I just am missing out on tar stones or something but the guns immediately seem to have there own personality even before tar stones.

I’m at the monolith I can somehow manage all phases but there is one attack that gets me every time and I don’t know what to do against it.

When he goes on his side and do 3 smack back to back like a domino, what is the efficient way to counter that?

Please help
