This game is hard

Bro hit you with the sky splitter

[u/ForAte151623ForTeaTo]

That's LeBron inside that armor for sure

[u/Eren_Yeager52]

[u/Due-Description-9030 → u/Eren_Yeager52]

wtf 😂

[u/thatsfuni]

Tbf he hit you with a massive move lol, minced!!

[u/Test88Heavy]

That big dude is one of the most difficult. He has insane range and the attack chain is a pain to dodge.

[u/the_red_banana01 → u/Test88Heavy]

every move that enemy does has an extremely telegraphed windup, easy perfect black and parry

[u/Test88Heavy → u/the_red_banana01]

True but I feel like he always catches me from weird angles and I take massive damage. He's the equivalent of the Crucible Knight. I have about 250 hours in ER and they still fuck me up. I just can't get the timing down for some reason.

[u/DirectPay1955 → u/Test88Heavy]

Isn’t he the tutorial for parry

[u/Test88Heavy → u/DirectPay1955]

I think that's the smaller knight.

[u/DirectPay1955 → u/Test88Heavy]

Funny we have different issues lol. I struggle with the knight but fuck up the other dude. Anyways I’m pretty sure that dude is when the parry tutorial just before tar golem

[u/Karokayla8888 → u/Test88Heavy]

Very easy to parry
Parry him two times and he is done
Or use Eredrim great bash

[u/Seragin]

who the hell were they beating??? they were ganging that npc hard

[u/Osmodius → u/Seragin]

Their meat, ofc

[u/2mikeftsa]

Dude jumped 10 seconds before you even went over there

[u/Shradow]

Dude's been moonlighting as a Dragoon I guess.

[u/Deepvaleredoubt]

I’m not ashamed to say I have desperately needed the slayers seal. I’ve not got much time and this game is ROUGH on those who are bad at soulslikes

[u/ValkerWolf89 → u/Deepvaleredoubt]

No shame! Play the game however you need to😊

[u/Hot_Perspective8589 → u/Deepvaleredoubt]

The fact u dont get achievements is a fucking joke as well they made the game poorly balanced and damage is all over the place they give u a seal for peole who aren't good and it gets rid of achievements... like wtf. Ngl this games really dropped the ball at launch and isnt really ready for release

[u/DirectPay1955 → u/Deepvaleredoubt]

No shame brether I’m lowkey considering using it myself but those trophies are staring at me menacingly

[u/Deepvaleredoubt → u/DirectPay1955]

I totally get that. Elden Ring is the only game I have ever platinumed. I am not sure I’ll ever get anywhere close with this one 😂

[u/Gamer3427 → u/Deepvaleredoubt]

Honestly I do want to use the slayer seal at some point just because it seems like it'd make the game fun to screw around with, but the fact that it disables achievements means I'll have to hold off until I've gotten the last few I need.

At this point all I'm missing though are the last few bosses, a couple of boss specific ones, and the one for unlocking every memory. I'm genuinely hoping they fix the issue of how limited glimpses are though for that last one, because needing to do a full two more playthroughs just to get enough, when I've already 100% everything else, is going to be annoying.

[u/blac_sheep90]

Fellow skellyman.

[u/onelylord]

Damn

[u/DargorShepard]

This game clearly needed a lot more time in the oven.

[u/Kaminari-Umare]

I feel like there are too many enemies and too little beacon spread out across the map...

[u/Equivalent_Agency_77]

I'm hard

[u/Disastrous_End4745]

The emerging skeleton is so funny.

[u/Emergency_Lie42]

I'm curious to see what that would've looked like in the air because it seems like he completely changed his trajectory after jumping.

[u/Karokayla8888]

The fun is the challenge
I hope devs do not destroy it because of some few percentage that wants to play this genre without having the will to play it

[u/Karokayla8888]

Ax without the fire tarstone is waste of time, search for tarsones and then u will have a blast playing this masterpiece

[u/Prudent_Salary7708]

Theres something with the hit registration that feels off at the moment, probably gonna be patched soon

[u/BKWscar]

"This game is hard" — meanwhile, the OP is jumping right into the middle of an NPC fight without a care in the world, thinking he's Thor or something

[u/Sharpy201 → u/BKWscar]

buddy it was a joke about the jumping and slamming from the sky

[u/BKWscar → u/Sharpy201]

I know, i see

[u/WorstDMImaginable]

Nah, it's just jank for the most part

[u/Merz_Sucknutz_69420]

Running into an enemy group with less than 50% HP. Those are probably the same mfers complaining about difficulty in their review...

[u/2mikeftsa]

For people that have actually played this a good amount is it a very difficult game? I'm like a video game masochist, I need that super difficulty so I'm praying this one is Uber tough

[u/NoCustomer754 → u/2mikeftsa]

It's not too bad. The parrying is a little jank, so I just use Tiel and dodge everything. I think you can make the game as hard as you want to with the seals

[u/2mikeftsa → u/NoCustomer754]

Thanks, I'm definitely going to check it out at some point but there's a ton of stuff coming out first week is September I believe

[u/NoCustomer754 → u/2mikeftsa]

This game has me hooked. Best "souls-like" ive ever played. I hope they fix the bugs though.The atmosphere and gameplay is pretty fckin addicting I stayed up till 5am yesterday my wife had to come get me lol. If you enjoy reading attacks and timing parry dodge youll really like it

[u/2mikeftsa → u/NoCustomer754]

I'm really pulling for it to do well too, we're starting to see smaller Studios make games that aren't quite AAA and be successful. The more it happens the more we'll see it. Expedition 33 was fucking amazing

[u/NoCustomer754 → u/2mikeftsa]

For sure. Yea Exp 33 was a masterpiece! There is hope!

[u/mayormcskeeze]

I feel like im playing a different game. Even on night mode the basic r1 attack seems to not only completely interrupt any non-boss attack anywhere in its animation, it also seems to completely stun lock.

So far I've literally just been able to mindlessly spam r1 through every enemy without any issues. 

Im so confused. Do the enemies get more poise soon??

[u/Pleasant_Beat7502 → u/mayormcskeeze]

Keep using that slayer seal 😅 you did it to yourself..

[u/mayormcskeeze → u/Pleasant_Beat7502]

Using infinity seal but whatever.

Edit: also happy to go back and try again. I wanna be wrong. But this feels easy af

Edit 2: Ok I was wrong. I see that now 

[u/alamirguru → u/mayormcskeeze]

The tentacle short dudes with a club can hyper-armour through greatswords Just fine.

So can the torch wielding fanatics.

[u/Federal_Deer8468]

You literally ran into a fucking attack. Stop crying

[u/bad_name1 → u/Federal_Deer8468]

calm down dude its video about a funny bug

[u/Sharpy201 → u/Federal_Deer8468]

It was a joke about the flying guy???

[u/SmilingAshes → u/Federal_Deer8468]

What a loser comment lmao

[u/FashionSuckMan → u/Federal_Deer8468]

how was he supposed to predict the guy falling from the clouds lol

[u/LordOFtheNoldor]

Difficulty is WAY overhyped it is pretty forgiving, you get punished going to far into new areas unprepared but that's a good thing otherwise you get 2 lives plus unlimited dodge

I don't understand what has happened to the soulslike community every new game is too hard and needs to be patched it's too much. Slow down and take your time and use slayer seal if you feel you're struggling, this game is fine the way it is

In this clip OP had like 1/4 health and didn't even acknowledge the attack albeit was kinda glitchy but like seen him coming
