I’m always wishing there was more interaction and discussion on the niche Lemmy groups. Today I got to wondering if there were some games we could focus on to help foster our small community. But what is everyone playing or interested in playing? Are we all off playing our own obscure indie favorites or are there some games we share?

    I had to skip that knight! I got deaded too many times and just left hahaha. I’m in my third legacy dungeon in Shadow and it’s pretty brutal.

      Which one is the third? I’ve done Belurat and Castle Ensis (if it counts?), only just started poking around in Shadow Keep but it looks absolutely wild so far. I also made it to the putrescent knight’s arena but I’ve not tried actually fighting it yet, just jumped in once to see what was going on at the end of a session

      The knight was pretty brutal, but fortunately this run has been my “learn to parry” one, so I came basically perfectly equipped to fight any player-model enemy that isn’t using colossal weapons

        I think it’s Shadow Keep! I’ve found two of the bosses—one insane tree guy with three phases that has killed me 20 times so I went another way, one big fat boss guy, and there has to be more cuz I’m not done yet…

          There’s one with three phases? That is so absolutely going to catch me out with no flasks left whenever I first get to it, god dammit. I can’t wait

            Oh man… i don’t wanna spoil anything, but uhhhh I think I have to come back to it with full blessing. I can’t get close even with a buddy who’s extremely good.

              Nothing wrong with that! I hit an absolute brick wall with Margit when I first played the base game because I hadn’t played a Souls game in years. I explored around until I found the secret route to Liurnia and did most of that before I even got into Stormveil

                Did you go into a regular, boring, nondescript building and then take the longest elevator ever? Because I did the and it brought tears to my eyes when I finally got down there (also first real souls game, I only played a bit of Demon’s Souls PS3 before Elden Ring)

                Edit: also this tree is far beyond any boss in the main game, and insane compared to the other expansion bosses. I don’t even think I need to kill it to progress.

                  I have not seen whichever part that is, no. Although it sounds like the same experience as finding Siofra for the first time, which I think was one of my favourite moments in the entire game

                    Oh I might be thinking of Siofra! Sorry hahaha, it’s been a while.

                    I went back into the expansion after months of not playing, and I forgot how much I loved this game… but sheeiit, is the expansion brutal. The main game was hard, but I had a much easier time roaming around and having fun and exploring without dying. Shadow seems a lot more…. “Go here and do the thing to progress”.
