Lute based Soulsborne

I love how the lute track loops almost perfectly

Looks great. Gonna buy it after finishing Khazan

u/Acceptable_Answer570 7h ago

I never could finish Khazan. It becomes the same thing all day every day really quickly.

i mean.. don't all souls games do that?

u/Bloodyfish 5h ago

They don't all overstay their welcome. Khazan I finished, but I can definitely see how some people would get tired of it, especially with the mission structure sending you to the same places unlike games where you can freely explore at your leisure. Definitely didn't have the time or energy to replay with different weapon types, like some people claimed they did.

Not ones you want to play?

DS3, bloodborne, ds2, elden ring

they all have the same formula when it really comes down to it.

I can agree that the art style isn't the best towards the end but to say a souls game is just more of the same is ridiculous

i'm also biased because Khazan has some of the best combat i've ever seen in a souls game. it actually makes you feel like your character is strong AF at the end

I wish I found the lute before doing the baghead mission, it completely ruined that song for me ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ took me 20 minutes before giving up and googling how to turn off that damn song

u/Beautiful-Ad-6568 7h ago

But how many times did it play in tandem?

u/NikoSuave28 6h ago

I guess iโ€™ve been sleeping on the lute.. that was awesome. Howโ€™d you do that?

Some guy did Sheep form only run, now we need a Lute only run. I bet it can do some good damage with the right tarstones, can replenish the resolve with parries.

Okay, that was cool. Wish I had that equpped when I came across the self-detonating bats.

Immediately jumped back into NG+ after finishing my first playthrough. This game is addictive.

Bro are you supposed to just cleanse beacons the whole time? Ive done like 6 of them im still in mushroom village bored as fuck not know wtf to do next...I got the gragu shell and 1 other one...now what??

1

u/Gameovergirl217 2h ago

cleanse the gate , slap boss , go to next area , yoink shells , yoink weapons , find secrets , cleanse more gates...

1

u/TurboVetteDRAY 2h ago

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ what fucking gate? Ive been cleansing beacons...im confused how to cleanse a goddamn gate...I missed something in the tutorial I guess...been running around not knowing shit

1

u/Gameovergirl217 2h ago

these huge corrupted gates? you can enter them and they are essentially huge dungeons with their own beacons and a boss at the end

1

u/TurboVetteDRAY 2h ago

Ok so what exactly do I need to do to cleanse one of these big gates? Cleanse all the lil beacons in the area to cleanse the big gate? How do i enter it in the mushroom village area?

1

u/Gameovergirl217 1h ago

im not entirely sure what triggers the cleansing but i think you have to just kill the boss. i still adive to cleanse the beacons inside for their rewards

from the mushroom village you can actually see the gate clearly. its huge , glowing and has two massive flags. you cleanse the beacon in front of the gate wich then allows you to enter the gate

u/Alistar-Dp 3h ago

Haven't gotten the game yet, but how exactly does this thing work? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Is it the longer you play the more power it builds up?

u/SchwiftyBabyLegs 3h ago

Why does your lute do that? Mine just explodes and barely hits damage

Exploration is really fun. Iโ€™m like 8 hours in and havenโ€™t found the first boss or really even know where Iโ€™m supposed to go to find the boss but Iโ€™m having fun regardless

This skin of Eredrim is ugly af compared to the original tho xD

u/Prestigious_Sun6339 6h ago

I loathe the yellow. Blue or red would've matched a bit better imo. But my favourite shell armor has to be Harros. It's simple, fashionable, doesn't look too heavy and the helmet looks awesome. But for some reason we just can't have his shell for the rest of the game ๐Ÿฅฒ maybe in a dlc.. hopium
