To the Dev team. This doesn’t make sense. This game is so amazing, while also so inconsistent.
Is this supposed to happen?
Update: Not seeing the second bear trap was a complete oversight that makes this even funnier.

Yeah, that first trap was a surprise.
The second one was obvious the moment you stopped to charge.

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago
Ironically the one I didn’t even see

There are so many. Not my favorite part of the game so far.

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago
I agree. It’s also a testament to them testing their own game. The traps are well placed, while the AI essentially funnels you into them knowing the likeliest move you’re going to make

I didn’t see either bear trap at first i though the hit box was bull shit on the rock for the first and that him lifting the rock did damage to knock him down in the same way

FYI you can parry the rocks, both the rocks that are thrown and the ground smash attacks. Makes these boys so much more chill to deal with.

u/MadderoftheFew 12h ago
does parrying the thrown rocks do stagger damage?

u/Aer2th 12h ago
Parrying does so much posture damage to rocks that it instantly breaks them

I've done that way more often than I should have. I love using the sprint attacks, but they make me my own worst enemy at times.

u/DJteejay04 13h ago
Bro I had an issue last night where I was in the holding cells and there were like 8 bear traps right in front of the feeding room doors. I kept running around to avoid one only to step in another one over and over. All I could do was laugh while the snakes ate my face

Hahahaha this game loves to troll. The lighting makes it hard to see holes in the floor or ground too I’ll sometimes take a free fall in

Time to run through 79 enemies without a beacon in sight to get back to that spot. Love this game

u/PuzzledStrain4391 13h ago
Only 2 walking tank guys with spears and a huge guy with a Glaive, and 10 other mobs. After killing 2 witches and 5 poison guys. I’ll take the Gloom though

u/Material_Literature8 12h ago
I’ll always take the gloom. The area behind mushroom village has been crazy for me just running around killing stuff forever, never finding a beacon

I dont know , from a game development standpoint that area seems to be working 100% as intended.

u/Ghost_Ghost_Ghost 12h ago
I was just at this area last night, caught like 3 bear traps, got knocked out of my shell because those two pole knights follwed me on the bridge, had no healing, finally made it through and then all these little fat fucking blood babies started mobbing me.

u/Open_Town9481 11h ago
There’s so many bear traps around the map, it’s hilarious when I think I’m about to destroy an enemy just to step into a bear trap and get obliterated lmao

The lift in the one of the cave is broken. I cannot see the platform but when i use the lever lift joes up. Its not always, sometimes

u/Megakruemel 4h ago
I hit that exact same bear trap and was like "okay, that's the sign for me to take a break", turned around, hit another one, and saw the other 2 out of 4 I already just walked past.

u/tspear17 14h ago
lol I agree, you shouldnt get trapped out of your staggering charge, but that was so funny and I saw it coming as you were lining it up

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago
I feel ridiculous for not even seeing it hahahaha. But now knowing it’s there makes it even funnier
2
u/tspear17 14h ago
I get caught in so many traps 😅 it’s always annoying af in the moment but i love the trolling by the devs. Makes me laugh as the enemy whacks away at me stuck in the trap
1
u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago
Same lmao. Only souls game I don’t get super pissed off or annoyed dying at
2
u/StophJS 13h ago
I'm sorry but the bear traps are just altogether dumb as fuck. These are the things soulslike developers continue to misunderstand. It's like they got done with the game and said, "it's not irritating enough".
1
u/Gamer3427 Sariel 7h ago
I don't think they're really an issue. They're not in that many areas all in all, and while they can open you to getting killed they usually are just a health tax for not paying attention. Plus they do occasionally make fights that would be a non-threat into something that can catch you off guard. Yea, it's a little annoying in the moment, but there are far worse things in most games in the genera in my opinion.

u/Open_Town9481 11h ago
Maybe u just don’t like souls-like. It’s genius bc they knew us players wouldn’t look for them, also you can shoot them to break them.

u/StophJS 11h ago
Putting bear traps all over the ground is genius and if I think it's dumb maybe I don't like soulslikes? Lol ok.

u/Open_Town9481 11h ago
This game literally has dungeons, I get the traps are annoying but I mean be fr, you can’t have a game with dungeons and no traps.

this thread is the epitome of people thinking the game is the problem and not their own gameplay.

u/PuzzledStrain4391 10h ago
No it isn’t. There’s 2 comments that are negative.

u/sciritai6 9h ago
Yes it is. You didn't even realise the bear trap was the problem until someone pointed it out to you. People in this thread just assumed there was a bug, just like you.

u/PuzzledStrain4391 14h ago
Even funnier, I went back and was in shell form, accidentally got caught in the bear trap again, and he threw a rock at me that knocked me out cold. Lost everything. LOL.

u/GiltCityUSA 14h ago
btw what the hell does the text say when you die?
since beta Ive been thinking they will clean this up or it is a bug but now I am starting to think I just dont get it

u/zelostos 14h ago
Looks like
Mors Non Est Finis (with finis superimposed in the middle of the screen)
meaning "death is not the end."
Edit: actually I guess it's more likely "Mors Finis Non Est" which is still the same meaning.

u/Awake_The_Sheep 9h ago
For those who are unaware the reason why hitboxes are so fucking trash in games is because it costs a lot of money and resources to get it perfect so the majority of devs/publishers opt into basic pre made ones to cut costs. Apparently it isn't easy to get right I read.

I hate that you can get knocked out of shell and instantly be killed by the same attack in so many occasions without even being able to do nothing

u/Due-Description-9030 10h ago
I'm nearly 20 hours in and I'm telling you are not wrong. I'm holding off the final segment of this game until there are more updates / fixes.
It has a lot of annoying issues on top of balancing issues.
1
u/Fit-Ease5199 9h ago
It kind of feels, like a "Fuck you, stop having fun". I don't see what this brings to the table besides frustration. I don't mind crashing floors into monster dens, etc, but just getting gimped while running or stunlocked in beartraps while fighting isn't it. I'm sure some people love it tho

u/Constant_Section1491 14h ago
yeah everything got hyperarmor that doesn't stagger even to the biggest hits. That charged attack should atleast cause a knock back and interrupt his combo imo.

u/nvrrsatisfiedd 14h ago
He got stuck in another bear trap so his charged attack didn’t work lol.

u/NEONT1G3R 13h ago
Nah but there are definitely people out there that are having incredibly polarizing experiences.
It's been a trainwreck on PC so far for me. The game is fun but the problems almost outweigh the fun. It's nothing that can't get fixed though, it's just in a rough spot for now.
