r/souls

1. I have ps4

2. I canxt really explain, but...You know when you get some game, you can get ps awards with it(bronze, silver, old, platinum), if I get the trilogy, will I be able to get this awards as 3 different games, or will it go as one game?

3. Is it worth 1500 hrivnyas (~ 33 dollars)?

4. When I get the disk, will lit download all 3 soulses separately, or will it all be in one game?

I really need your help, as I recently got salary, and I donxt want to lose this money if itxs just a cheap copy of soulses

Hey everyone,

Elden Ring was my first ever Soulslike and my first FromSoftware game in general, and honestly, I think it completely changed my taste in games.

When I first played it, I was obsessed and sank hundreds of hours into it. After that I took a pretty long break, but recently I came back to play the DLC and somehow fell in love with everything all over again. The atmosphere, the exploration, the boss fights and THE LORE. I genuinely haven't found anything else that scratches the same itch.

So now I'm thinking it's finally time to dive into the Dark Souls series, but I have no idea where to start.

Should I just jump straight into Dark Souls 1 and experience the trilogy in release order? Is there enough of a connected story and world that it's worth doing that way? Or, coming from Elden Ring, is there another FromSoftware game that would make for a better starting point?

I'd love to hear what you guys recommend for someone whose entire Souls experience so far has been Elden Ring.

This was my first Souls game ever, and I’ve just beaten the main story.
Visually, Elden Ring is absolutely stunning. I loved the world, the level design, and the incredible variety of enemies. The looting and weapon upgrading systems are fantastic, and I really appreciated how much freedom you have to build your own playstyle — whether focusing on strength, dexterity, magic, or whatever else. The weapons and spells are all gorgeous.
The lore is interesting, but coming from very story-driven games, I struggled to get fully invested in the narrative. I quickly gave up trying to remember all the family connections between the various demigods and villains. That said, there are some genuinely spectacular and cinematic moments throughout the game.
The boss fights are mostly excellent and very well crafted. My only complaint is that a few bosses feel recycled and reused in different areas. I explored a lot before fighting my first boss, so I probably arrived way overleveled. As a result, toward the end I steamrolled bosses like Mohg, Maliketh, and Godfrey in just a couple of minutes and couldn’t really enjoy them. Radagon finally gave me some proper trouble again, but the Elden Beast felt weak, poorly designed, and extremely anti-climactic as a final boss.
I chose Ranni’s ending, but after dozens of hours of fighting every enemy imaginable, dying hundreds of times to falls off cliffs, and endless exploration… it all ends with a short cutscene. I found the conclusion pretty unsatisfying.
Overall though, I had a great time with the game and I really enjoyed it. I’ll definitely play the DLC and try more Souls titles in the future, but it didn’t quite steal my heart.
Here’s my Top 5 hardest bosses (for me):

1.Fallingstar Beast

2.Radagon

3.Malenia

4.Crucible Knight duo

5.Fake Mohg in the sewers

And my Top 5 favorite bosses for epicness, design and cinematic feel:

1.Rykard

2.Placidusax

3. Radahn

4.Maliketh

5.Mohg (the real one)

If you want to discuss anything or have questions for a total Souls newbie like me, feel free to ask — I’m happy to chat!

When Steam had a sale a while back I purchased all 3 Dark Souls games.
Upon completing DS Remastered and starting DS2 I realised I bought the original version. I can’t refund it should I take the loss and buy the SOTOS version for 40 quid or just play away the base one?

This may be an odd question, but I thought this sub reddit would be the best place to ask.

I am an English teacher who is trying to come up with more creative activities to teach critical thinking and analysis to high schoolers. I love the dark souls games and I love how much of the story telling is done through the environment, descriptors, and general design. I'd love to be able to teach these skills via dark souls, but I'm not exactly a lore expert.

Would any of you know what would be a few good examples to be able to teach who is related to who, events, and/or general world lore. Ideally the students would not need to know anything too intense about the game (beyond the initial cut scene perhaps). I'd love for it to be a puzzle sorta thing, but I don't know enough to be able to pick out good pieces.

If anyone has any aspects from the game that could be used for something like this I'd love to know! Thank you so much for reading!

Edit: I teach high school students (age 13-18 ish) and class sizes here are about 25-30 students

Hello there i just finished nightreign and killed heolstor and i did wylder's( the only nightfarer i used throughout the entire game ) rememberance to unlock the ending where he becomes the new nightlord as i liked it better than pther endings. Nightreign is my first soulsborne game and i went in blind without knowing anything about the combat or gameplay loop and at first i sucked dying in day one of gladius almost instantly. Over time i learned the gameplay and there was a massive improvement once i learned how Powerful the dodge is . Sometime ago i read a nightreign review on Reddit and it said that it might be the first mid soulsborne game . I know that i don't have much experience but nightreign is one of the best games i have played in my life . Incredible graphics , addicting gameplay and incredibly satisfying combat , it strikes the right balance between challenge and reward if you are a good player you are very well rewarded and i like that . I played all of it solo as I don't and probably never have gamepass( too expensive) . The bosses were all demons of difficulty some of them taking me weeks of trying daily to beat them i would say my favourite is gladius as i spent the most time on him and he forced me to Git gud at the game. On a side note why are the draconic tree sentinel and bell bearing hunter so difficult sometimes i go at them with legendary weapons and still die. Overall i would give my first soulsborne experience a 8.5/10

I played Elden Ring 4 years ago. Took me about a year on and off to beat the game then I put it down. Didn't buy or play the DLC (although I did watch Kai Cenat beat Radahn lmao). It's the best game of the decade for me so far.

Idk, just wondering if there's any tips for jumping back in? I know the lay of the land and all the great rune bearers. I'm just looking to have a new experience and try and get that sense of wonder again for my 2nd (and probably final) playthrough. I will not be doing NG+ for this reason.
