![[Discussion] Have you stopped playing a soulslike mid-playthrough? What was the reason?](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/d96f2520-7152-4ef0-b2a5-405e34c62683.webp){kind=link}
Disregarding lack of time, that is. Is there any particular mechanic you were not fond of? Was a game too difficult for you? Was it the overall enjoyment of the game?
Pic totally unrelated :]
Lords of the Fallen (remake) just felt a little too floaty to me. I might have ended up liking the game if I gave it more of a shot, but the very first boss was enough for me already. Maybe I’ll get back to it at some point, but I doubt it
Did you find the short route? You don’t have to fight anything.
Down the stairs, over the bridge, run past the ghosts. Jump off the ledge. Run forward a bit and drop down, and you’re outside the boss room. There might be a ladder you have to kick down first. It’s been a while.
I hope this works because you just stopped me from going hollow if so

I don’t know where’s a good place to upload anonymous video for free, but here’s the route I usually take: https://www.viddler.com/UFko4q . Looks like they added some AI slop to the caption, heh.
It’s a little sloppy because I haven’t played in a few years, but thanks to steam’s cloud saves I had this character ready to go.
You take a little falling damage, but I think there’s a ring for that. You don’t have to fight anything so long as you run past the ghosts.
It does, yes. It’s not a super obvious one to find, on your own, and it still takes almost a minute. But it’s much better. Here: video guide.
Oh, that’s a longer route than I did. The one I did, you don’t have to fight anything. Let me see if I have a DS1 save with that area cleared…
Yes, but the fact that you have to go down from the firelink shrine, take the elevator… Aah makes it feel so long.

Yeah, it’s way more sluggish than some of the newer games’ respawn.
